Chapter 145: The night is brief, yet love lingers long. (Final Chapter)
At this moment, Huo Qingjue felt as though scorching waves were rolling within his heart.
Should he pretend he had seen nothing at all?
Or should he persist in his wrongdoing and go further down this path?
More than four months ago, had it not been for his carefully orchestrated plan to abduct Mier from Yuncheng and trap her in that remote, desolate village for a full month, even if the Four Seas Corporation was destined to fall, she might not have lost the opportunity to extricate herself!
It was that month of total isolation from the outside world that had made her lose the initiative!
......
It was a rather baffling remark. Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what the Prince Consort was actually trying to say, yet none of them dared to ask out loud.
The dagger was razor-sharp. As Hanyue turned around, some of the strands of her hair floating in the air brushed against the blade, getting cleanly severed one by one and drifting slowly down through the air.
Right now, however, since the First Prince himself had stepped forward to testify for Lady Yifang, Old Liu had no further concerns and thus spoke up to offer an explanation. After all, he certainly could not afford to offend an imperial prince just for the sake of that bully from the Lin family.
"President Liu, you are too kind. But may I ask, what is the purpose of President Song inviting our department head here this time?" After pondering for a moment, Luo Han still decided to voice the question.
When Yang Jie learned of the news, she followed Yan Xiao to the scene without any hesitation, under the high-sounding pretext of obtaining first-hand information as early as possible.
Looking at this heartwarming scene, Shen Xun turned around and continued to follow closely behind the attendant. He took a deep breath and gently lifted A Wu's body a bit higher.
After a massive mushroom cloud emerged, Sun Wukong swung his Sea-Calming Golden Cudgel and came attacking once again, leaving Xiao Tian feeling somewhat weak-handed at this very moment.
Seeing her looking so heartbroken earlier, he had felt quite a pang of sympathy for her; yet now, she did not seem all that heartbroken after all.
The car door opened and then closed. Until the car was moving slowly along the road, Gu Xiao's hand still remained planted firmly in front of Luo Nian's eyes without budging an inch.
Choujiang thought to himself that since the Shadow King had entrusted this matter to him, the final outcome would naturally be determined by whatever he said anyway. Besides, he had always loathed Bing'er, so he might as well seize this opportunity to completely eliminate her.
He could not see the Phantom and thus had no idea of its exact location, but Li Tai'an believed that the Phantom could hear him speak.
Miyano Akemi paused in her task of folding clothes, her mouth opening subconsciously as if she wanted to say something, but the words died on her lips and she swallowed them back down.
Suffering a disadvantage from firearms, Ninzaburo Shiratori gripped his police revolver, crouched low behind the front end of the Toyota, and issued a stern warning in a loud voice.
Chen Yuan had distributed the scripts beforehand, and the script supervisor had basically completed the continuity charts during the location scouting.
Although the reward for Zhang Ye was ostensibly issued by Ma Changyou, it was, beneath the surface, a form of recognition and reward for donating the "Loongxin-1" chip.
Before being imprisoned here, the beastman with the bear head had a profound love for exploration. Apart from secret realms accessible only through specific methods, he had practically roamed all of them. He had seen more people and beasts in the Upper Realm than anyone else, making him the most knowledgeable prime-age beastman in this place.
They had not only placed handcuffs on the veteran police officer who had accompanied countless island residents at the Shadow Island police station for decades, but they had also arrested the current village head, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and the candidate for the next village head, Hideo Kawashima.
It all started when a certain audience member in Star City was watching the headquarters' gala, only to find the same unchanging traffic-flow pop idol from Mango TV singing once again.
However, unlike the previous occasion, this time the culprit had left behind no warning messages whatsoever, having provided solely this single note threatening another gamble with their life.
Consequently, while the dragon blood was being absorbed and refined, it was simultaneously destroying Li Tai'an's body; while Li Tai'an was absorbing and refining the dragon blood, he was enduring the agonizing pain it brought along.
Yet, annoyance aside, he had no intention of going head-to-head with the police. When all was said and done, he was getting on in years, and he did not want to die just yet—he still wanted to enjoy life for a few more years.
"I bid five million!" A man who had not made a sound previously raised his numbered paddle high up in the air.
If it hadn't been for the continuous channeling of vital energy into Xue'er's body over the past few days, her corpse would surely have already decomposed or begun to emit a foul stench, to say the very least.
