Volume 1, Chapter 122: I Propose a Strategy for Border Security, and You Respond with a Struggle Session?

The old man’s voice gradually faded. Hua Xuanji bit her lip, feeling somewhat troubled, and carefully analyzed his words.

"We earned corresponding profits from shorting the Australian dollar. How many opportunities do you think there are to short both the Australian dollar and the Euro simultaneously?" Oreino was also deep in thought, not minding at all that Wang Nuo knew about Green Horn's position holdings.

A flicker of realization crossed Wu Hao's eyes. After some consideration, he summoned Lin Yunhe, Qian Liu, Zhong Huai, and Yin Jiao.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Yi and I returned to the Shen residence to pay our respects to the old master and Aunt Lin. The old mansion was filled with joy, and lanterns were hung along both sides of the corridors, creating an exceptionally festive atmosphere. The old master was in high spirits; he played several games of chess with Shen Yi, leaving the self-proclaimed "invincible general" Shen Yi thoroughly defeated.

Furthermore, he would trade with Silla, Japan, Baekje, and the Mohe tribes of the White and Black Mountains, while simultaneously sailing to raid the coast of Goguryeo.

Over at Liyang, Yuan Shao was quite irritated upon receiving news of Yan Liang's defeat. However, he felt embarrassed and lacked the heart to blame his trusted general for the outcome of this battle; after all, it was fundamentally due to his own strategic misjudgment, having fallen for Cao Cao's feint to the east while attacking the west, which allowed Cao Cao to seize the opportunity and save Baima.

Wu Hao swept his gaze around, finding the situation here very similar to the inner region of Penglai. Everywhere he looked was desolate; apart from some dilapidated stones, there was nothing else. No wonder that vampire ancestor was so anxious to get out.

However, the rebels had been utterly defeated, with only sporadic remnants still deluded and putting up a desperate resistance.

Once the news was released, it spread throughout the two commanderies of Jiujiang and Lujiang within three days. Following this, countless refugees flocked to the land reclamation stations in every county. Within half a month, the agricultural reclamation teams, with the former garrison troops as their backbone, had grandly set the stage for the spring plowing in Huainan.

Beside the youth was an old man with a full head of white hair but a vigorous spirit. To describe him as having "crane-like hair and a youthful face" would be no exaggeration at all. It was this old man who had spoken earlier.

She was lazy, she liked to shirk her duties, and she preferred to do the bare minimum, but she held deep, profound feelings for her siblings and her mother.

Although her clearance level was not high, it was already sufficient to access a great deal of intelligence unknown to the outside world.

Moreover, Naze Turbine also sensed that Major McGillis Fareed seemed to be hiding something.

Lu Shengnan felt she was truly speechless. She silently picked up her cup to drink her coffee, accompanying her father as he watched the ball game, occasionally echoing his commentary.

Would those in the Xiao family who knew about that matter keep their lips sealed, and did those who didn't really know absolutely nothing?

Angela glared at him indignantly, grumbling to herself as she made her way to the first basement level. She joined the others in playing a boring game of poker. Time ticked by second by second, and just as everyone began to drift off into sleep, a thunderous explosion suddenly shocked them all.

On the other end of the phone, the Bureau Chief nodded upon hearing this, then laughed: "I think he is right. Don't we have an old saying that the best defense is a good offense? Besides, defense is not merely passive; there should be offense within defense."

Maya was furious, but unfortunately, her mouth was gagged and she could not move, so she had to struggle and twist her body in protest.

However, unlike the Benevolent Immortal Heart of Mount Shu, the Qionghua Sect was determined to eradicate all demons in the world, showing no mercy and leaving no evil behind.

Meng Ling suddenly pointed to the left and shouted. Xia Buzhuo hurriedly turned to look, and indeed! There was a large hole in the wall on the left, and with no sandbag reinforcement behind it, living corpses had already crawled in. It seemed the garrison had been wiped out before they could even finish reinforcing the walls.

Her shoes, soaked by the water flowing on the ground, left a damp footprint with every step.

Over the walkie-talkie, a male voice asked a few more suspicious questions. Aysha Maimaitiji performed remarkably well, deflecting all of them. The other party pondered for a while and finally decided to come over and see for himself.

With such large-scale destruction in London, it was reported as a waste-site explosion. Was the British government covering up the news? Or were the American media unwilling to say much? Yet the attack on New York was reported so exaggeratedly?

Seeing Zhang Xueli leave, Xu Chengyou and the others hurriedly followed. A few minutes later, they arrived at Zhang Xueli's office.

"Scared away; that was far too lacking in challenge." Li Kang shrugged, saying something that nearly made Du Pengsheng vomit blood. Having killed so many of their men, he still claimed it lacked a challenge—how were they, the captives, supposed to feel?

Hua Qianse calmly avoided the hand Hua Qianye reached out, not wanting Hua Qianye to know her condition or worry for her. Immediately, unable to suppress the emotion in her heart any longer, Hua Qianse slowly reached out, her fingertips trembling as she touched Hua Qianye’s face.

This courtyard was one Li Kang had never visited before. The courtyard was paved with blue bricks and planted with several evergreen pines and cypresses; additionally, a few sets of stone tables and stools were placed about. The entire courtyard was empty and very tranquil, with the faint sound of voices drifting from the rooms surrounding it.

As for the matters at Ling'er's home, Ling'er could resolve them herself. Besides, if Ling'er did not hold all the shares in the Yue Family Brewery, Wang Da would never have agreed to cooperate with them. Even if Ling'er were to step forward herself, it would be impossible for them to agree.

Lan Xun let out another loud cry, but it was too late; Bai Zheng, his entire body radiating an intensely fierce golden light, collided with Poseidon.

You Guantai stroked his sparse eyebrows and said: "Don't be anxious, sir, the innocent will clear themselves." He grew more distressed the more he stroked them; others suffered from hair loss, but in his case, he was losing his eyebrows.

The black ring on his hand began to grow scorching hot, and then, a massive amount of spiritual energy, like a surging river, was continuously absorbed into the ring, only to be sent into Lin Yuan's meridians.

Yan Xianzhi spoke as if he were concerned for the greater good, but the royals were all about appearances. Who knew if he was merely pretending to be worried about Brother Tingbei's life in front of her, coaxing her into revealing whom Brother Tingbei cherished most, only to seize that person and use them as leverage to force Brother Tingbei to plead guilty?
