Volume 1, Chapter 41: Do You Trust Her That Much?

Not only was the singer ruined, but every high-level executive at the record label responsible for the concert’s setlist was fired. The boss gave the order personally, demanding they leave immediately.

"Senior Gan, this is absolutely impossible. That jade fruit still needs more than ten hours to ripen; it could not possibly have been plucked. She must have placed a restrictive spell on it!" Xie Jinyuan stated with certainty.

"Hmph!" Jiang Zaiyuan let out a cold snort. He sprang up, kicked out with his right leg, and struck He Tie square in the chest. He Tie stumbled back a step or two, while Jiang Zaiyuan used the momentum to vault over a dozen meters away, widening the distance between them.

When Lin Fan arrived, a large crowd had already gathered. The two sides were locked in a tense standoff, looking as if they would start fighting at the slightest provocation.

Indeed, the most frustrating part of searching for the fragments of the Cycle of Reincarnation was having no idea where they might actually exist.

Young Master Ye nodded at the sniper and signaled him to proceed. He then raised his pistol and fired three shots in rapid succession at the three burly men on the rocks, quickly killing them all.

"Summon!" As Mo Feng brought out the Undead Monarch summoning medal, the sky gradually darkened. A pitch-black portal instantly appeared above, and a majestic figure emerged directly before the crowd.

Young Master Ye understood now; after hearing all that Wu Shun had to say, it was clear he had lost a fortune gambling, couldn't pay his debts, and was now being hunted by the casino.

Under Leng Shuangheng’s command, a flurry of silver staff shadows rained down upon the Ran family guards, causing dozens of casualties in mere moments.

Lu Fei'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When Wu Ming and his associates worked with her before, although Wu Ming was stingy, Bai Bin was always there to handle things. Dealing with money matters had been smooth sailing—usually, they would settle the terms today, and the full payment would arrive by the next morning.

Meanwhile, disciples of the Sanhe Group loyal to Kawaki Eiko were arriving from all corners of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

After the Ice Sky Spirit retrieved the Heavenly Demon Orchid, Chu Mu called back the playful Moye, ready to continue their journey.

With no other choice, Yang Jie had to endure the agonizing pain of his soul pet’s death and the resulting damage to his own soul. He recalled the Ghost Rock Demon and hurriedly summoned a Storm Eagle. Mounting it, he vanished into the forest, whipped away by a gust of wind.

He turned to flee, but Su Xiu let out a cold snort. Cai Lun’s face turned pale with shock as he realized he was unable to move.

Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional Tang suit—none other than Diao Sande, the younger brother of the current family head.

Tianhe City, Tianhe Province! In the most prosperous district, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, there stood a private residence at the very center.

"Hello... Classmate Jiang..." She hesitated, as the gentle voice she expected to hear did not come from the other end.

"I thought as much! Otherwise, you should have been here long ago!" Li Lingyue said with an "I knew it" expression.

Ye Longyuan felt like a lit powder keg; a surge of uncontrollable, explosive rage erupted within him.

He had long ago established a rule: under no circumstances should the entire clan be deployed; half must remain behind at all times.

He stepped down with a sour expression. As a commotion erupted, he turned to offer his hand to Su Yi inside the vehicle, forced a smile, and said nothing.

Wu Zhifei curled his lip in secret: Xia Zhongcheng had been hanging around Cloud Tiger lately, which certainly seemed like a sign of favoritism.

"We sampled the scene and found your fingerprints on the victim's back. How do you explain that?" the police officer questioned.

Energy isolation is the ability to cut off all material forces, a defensive technique used by White Impermanence. Energy fluctuation uses Yin energy to disrupt the air, creating a lethal strike that cannot be dodged or countered from a single direction, while energy erosion turns any matter it touches into usable Yin energy.

However, just as she was about to catch the second drop, the point where the reagent dripped shifted a few inches away from her.

She checked the time and rose to enter the makeshift glass herbal dispensary nearby. As soon as she opened the door, a pungent medicinal scent rushed out, making Adi, who had a sensitive nose, sneeze repeatedly.

The Andrei family was Makan’s ancestral house. Three generations ago, they used the influence of the family head—then the Speaker—to develop their military industry. They were now the second-largest exporter of military weapons, surpassed only by the New Alliance. It seemed that Makan’s two cousins were currently in power... and there was no telling if Makan had been pulling the strings.

The result was as one could see now. When the informant from Tang Qie’s parent company signaled that they were preparing to send people to inspect the Experimental Island, Tang Qie happened to have achieved a breakthrough, and so Su Yi immediately "got a word in" with him.

Zhang Jialiang frowned and said, "Is everyone here to solve problems or to squabble?" His voice suddenly rose in volume.

Without another word, Zhang Jialiang shook hands with several officials from Jundu and, guided by Tian Zhihua, headed toward the building.

After lunch, I pushed her in her wheelchair for a walk around the estate. When she felt listless, she would lower her head and clutch my sleeve; when she was in high spirits, she would constantly ask me questions.

The desert sand exploded violently, the intense blast wave mixed with the monster's flesh and blood pushing the soldiers who had been struggling in the pit out to safety. They looked back with worried eyes at the now-calm sand pit, where a general remained buried.

Dan Xunfei was also furious. Not only had she forced Shi Shuai to pass gas, but she had also made me grab his crotch. Seeing that my Frost Talisman was effective, she spun and channeled her energy before even leaving the boat, unleashing her Finger Flicking Skill to fire two steel balls at the two men on the trailing vessel.

A few words from Xiao Lin stirred up the soldiers' anger. Although they didn't reply, their roars spoke volumes.

While both "entrustment" and "summons" involve manifestations, the former is the manifestation of an Immortal Spell, while the latter involves a Wizard’s true form or avatar descending to assist in battle. Immortal Spells descend directly onto the "favored one," whereas Wizards descend physically to the battlefield.

He did not understand the concept of "hunger," but after entering the core machine, he felt a sense of relief, as if his hunger had been sated. This was the result of "consuming" the data from the core machine. He simultaneously felt that he could "eat" more, but there was no more "food" left in the vicinity.
