Chapter 112: An Unprecedented Wonder

I wasn’t sure if it was because the concealment talisman was burning too quickly or some other reason, but before I had run fifty or sixty meters, the two men in Zhongshan suits realized what was happening and shouted, “He’s over there!” Then they lifted their legs and charged after me.

Chang Yu and Fatty Zuo weren’t around, so I didn’t dare return to the apothecary and instead dashed madly toward the alley’s entrance.

But they were incredibly fast; in no time, they had closed the distance to within a dozen meters behind me.

...

After the burglary at home, Hua Qingyi was at a loss over the significance of that string of prayer beads. Troubled, he left at dusk and wandered aimlessly toward the community hall, his mind blank, thinking of nothing.

When I reached the sacred forest at the mountain’s base, I was stunned. Zeus and Athena had cast spells here; while we wouldn’t get lost like humans do in the woods, without Hermes’ permission, we couldn’t cross it to reach the human world.

Following the tracks left by the guards, the eight brothers who had left the city also found Huang Changsheng and Liu Chundao and relayed the detailed situation inside the city. However, they did not mention Liao Fan’s injury, as per Liao Fan’s orders before losing consciousness.

“Second Brother, the others are discussing important matters. Could you please not cause trouble?” Morlisou said, half amused, half exasperated.

Zhu You fell to the ground in a sorry state, blood spurting from his mouth, his face pale. Seeing the madam’s hands covered in blood, he laughed bitterly with hatred.

After eating the once-delicious python meat for over half a year, Tang Xiao gradually found it tasteless and tedious.

As for whether this opportunity would come as Liao Fan predicted, he couldn’t be sure, but it wouldn’t affect the outcome of the war.

Easily silenced by that one retort, Yi Hanxuan had no words left. What right did he have to discuss her tangled feelings? Hadn’t he abandoned her too? Used her love for him?

The clashing sounds of metal striking metal echoed continuously from the sky. A slender iron chain was thrown out, instantly exuding a dense black aura, twisting and turning like a black iron dragon in the heavens.

“Has the Holy Knights Order discovered anything?” The pope sat wearily in his recliner, his health declining and a growing sense of helplessness weighing on him.

Initially, her anticipation of seeing the Grand Gatekeeper had vanished, but now, with a sudden turn of events, the front desk clerk felt a surge of delight. When she looked at Ling Hao again, a spark of joy and shyness finally appeared in her eyes. However, Lu Jiufeng and the others seemed oblivious to her change.

Yet at that very moment, Ye Tian’s divine sense stirred, and his figure transformed into a flash of white light, vanishing instantly.

The lean prime minister smiled, while Yang Guojian showed no reaction. The emperor also smiled, but the slightly plump prime minister behind the lean one wore a stern expression, unreadable.

In the end, N2 consented, tacitly allowing Lin Ai to indulge in her showy idea, though whether they would truly follow through with her plan was another matter.

As for Li Fangcheng, even if he agreed to take on these employees later, it would actually be a loss after a year. Because if a major economic crisis struck, labor would become extremely cheap. Unlike now, the current average salary levels in companies were roughly equivalent to those in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou thirty years from now.

Liu Qingqing’s large black-and-white eyes, sharp and clear as mercury balls, rolled toward the fat cat, making its fur stand on end.

The roaring flood surged forward like countless unstoppable beasts, answering the call of destruction. The thick walls, fragile as glass, were toppled and submerged in an instant. A mighty force brewed within the crystalline carrier, rushing fiercely along the streets.

The disciple hesitated, a hint of doubt on his face. As one of Ou Rong’s confidants, he naturally noticed Ou Rong’s deep affection and infatuation for Liu Yiyi. Yet just moments ago, he had seen Liu Yiyi sitting in Huang Shaojie’s arms.
