Volume 1, Chapter 59: Manager Wang

The sudden appearance of this relentless unit caused the expressions of the crew members to grow anxious. Every battle against these four mobile suits had been fraught with peril, dating all the way back to Heliopolis.

Gule smiled, finally witnessing the ruthless side of the gambling tycoon. But naturally, a formidable lord who had seen his family fortunes decline yet carved out a massive empire entirely by his own might could not possibly lack ruthless methods; how else could he have stood out among numerous rivals and dominated Hong Kong and Macau for decades?

Alice looked at the debris left behind by the self-destruction of these Alaor units, the originally smooth deck also scarred and shattered. Having witnessed such destructive power firsthand, Alice could not help breaking into a cold sweat. Fortunately, under her protection, Sousuke Sagara and Chidori Kaname remained unharmed.

Checking out and returning to the M Main Building by car, Li Qiu deliberately cast a glance around his surroundings. Right now, he really did not want to run into Lee Hyori, because he knew that a single glance from her would cause him to return home without the slightest hesitation, no matter how awkward their relationship currently was.

This subordinate believes that although Your Lordship's generals are all filled with formidable vigor, we must not underestimate the violent enemy launching this invasion. Should Your Lordship suffer any unexpected mishap, would not the hearts of the entire army grow cold? Slaying enemy generals and capturing their flags, striking terror into the opposing ranks—such is the duty of a subordinate commander, not the proper role of the commander-in-chief.

To be honest, Li Qiu was deeply moved. It was only at this moment that he truly understood what Mao Mao meant when she said that the kindness Lee Hyori showed him was beyond compare.

Zhang Wang picked up the fragment, and a piece of information appeared automatically: 'Heart-Eating Ghost' ghost skill fragment. Ghost skill: 'Ghost Wall'. Uses mental interference to create false visual information, achieving the ability to deceive ordinary people's senses. Usually used to make ordinary people walk in circles and exhaust their physical stamina.

"What does this mean? A century-long alternative-dimension vacation trip?!" Zhang Wang felt somewhat bewildered.

Had Yueji not witnessed with her own eyes that Zhang Hao was sitting cross-legged in meditation, she would surely have been unable to sense his presence at all. For Zhang Hao had quietly merged into everything around him, resembling an entity connected with heaven and earth rather than a human cultivator possessing a unique life structure.

Among them, the captain of the Mu family guards matched one of the three leading men in black in strength, and the two sides traded blows furiously for a time, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Since the Nationalist forces had occupied Floating City and the Honggu region, they would likewise annihilate this entire faction of Nationalist troops.

Shuangyue finally stood up, though she still kept her head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.

There was only a large bed in the room, arranged warmly and neatly, alongside items such as a personal cassette player and even an old-fashioned telephone on the desk.

"Let's hear it." Deep inside, Di Fengtian maintained a strong sense of vigilance. Although he desperately wanted to eliminate Luo Aotian, he had no desire to be extorted by Gao Fei.

At this moment, deep within the mountain range, a fat-eared man sat cross-legged upon a futon. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he gazed toward the spot where Zhao Hao had previously been, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He knew very well that what Christine had said just now was not a genuine break with him, but rather a move forcing him to make a choice. After a long silence, Liang Dong understood that the time to make a choice might truly have arrived.

That's right, the scene just now had been designed by Liang Dong in advance, and Buman was someone he had specifically summoned; the two of them had discussed the matter the night before.

Although Chen Shuang was beautiful and possessed fine acting skills, she could not avoid encountering these unwritten rules.

He took a deep breath, his gaze lowering to fall upon Snow, who was currently kneeling on one knee.

One of them spoke: "Indeed, presumably no matter how powerful the trump card left by Wangu to his clan members might be, it still requires people to control it. As long as we trap those Heavenly Mortal Realm kings of the Wangu clan and deny them the time to use it, the rest of the matter can be left to our clansmen."

Following Dai Mubai's use of his second soul skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, a sphere of milky-white light could be seen erupting from his mouth. This sphere was formed from soul power, and the moment it was expelled, it surged toward Qian Renxue.

"Maximum soul power, level twenty??" Qian Renxue looked at Su Yuntao. She did not know what her own soul power was like, but she could be certain that the blue crystal ball used for testing had absorbed her inner energy. Could it be that her inner energy had transformed into soul power in this world?

Lin Wu's eyelids lifted slightly. Through the mirror in front of her, she caught sight of Lin Jiangchuan and Lin Qian, a trace of surprise flickering in the depths of her eyes—she had not expected to encounter them here.

These were the people their Great Xia Nation truly needed; these were the people the Great Xia Nation ought to revere.

By now, the riot in Lin'an City had been quelled, but not a single citizen in the plaza left. They sat upon the ground, their faces etched with grief and numbness.

In the early morning, when the very first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth, it brought color to Wucha City and light to this world.

After Yue Yinping, whose given name was Yue Xiao'e, threw herself into a well and died, under pressure from public opinion, the local officials slightly eased their persecution of Li Wa and her son, but soon these villains devised a new method.

Although Manager Fan did not mention how many people could endure for five years, listening to it this way, paying three million truly did not seem like a bad deal.

Yan Liyue was still pondering the matter of the soul fiend, paying no attention whatsoever to the fact that Yuwen Yuan's body was still pressing down upon hers.

However, to everyone's surprise, from beginning to end, these people simply sat quietly, occasionally stretching, but never once interrupting the others.

Qi Rui could not help shaking her head with a faint smile: "Such a sharp tongue, I think I can already be certain..." After all, people with such a scathing and sharp-witted tongue were rare.
