Volume One, Chapter 34: The Missing Woman (13)

Upon further questioning, it was revealed that the coachman was merely a farmhand from the Changle Farm in the western suburbs, which made the situation even more baffling. However, the coachman spoke only a few words before falling silent; he knew only to follow his master’s instructions.

The eyes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly flared with light. It showed no intention of fleeing from Su Xing and his two companions; instead, it lifted its massive paws and began to stalk toward them step by step.

Hurriedly, I tapped away at the screen to cancel the note, taking the opportunity to give myself a new username: ..

The patient’s fever peaked at forty-two degrees Celsius. Pathological tests confirmed a diagnosis of lobar pneumonia.

A thunderous impact echoed before the goal as Li Xiu used his fists to strike the descending ball, forcefully altering its trajectory.

In those days, the Barbarian tribes were not as fractured as they are today, and they were the most formidable race across the entire continent of Fantasy Beasts.

Last night, she raised four thousand six hundred taels of silver, a sum that far exceeded her expectations. Seeking donations required setting aside her pride and being tactful; she knew that if her attire were too ostentatious, it would inevitably invite jealousy from the noble ladies.

The only suspense remaining was whether, provided the entire army fought with their lives on the line, RNG could steal a victory or two from Top Esports to avoid an embarrassing defeat.

Even Teacher Du felt a spark of curiosity. She recalled that Gu Xu’s performance in biology was merely average. When had he learned medical common sense, and how had he managed to earn the approval of a veteran doctor at the hospital?

"I have further requested the Ministry of Works to produce cement and heavy-duty rebar in Dongting Commandery to reinforce the three cities of Zhongyi, Linyuan, and Zhanyang, but the cement has been delayed for too long." Zhao Liu shifted the subject, bringing up the Ministry of Works directly before Xiong Jing. Fortunately, the Minister of Works, Dao, had remained in Panyu.

He was coughing up blood. As a dozen fist imprints landed, the black palm prints continued to exert crushing pressure, while a massive, surging force battered his very core.

Surrounded by the black flames engulfing their Manor Lord, the onlookers retreated in terror, eventually collapsing to their knees.

Thus, most ordinary players prefer to join an existing, powerful guild to enjoy various bonuses rather than founding a guild of their own.

Alas, excessive efforts to hold onto the past began to inflict pain upon the Sun Star, as the old days finally dimmed and fractured.

A week ago, Ivanka Trump had suddenly appeared in Feng Feiyang’s office, offering to invest one hundred billion Star Coins into the Qianqiu Industrial Group.

After hearing Yan Yingbiao’s words, Chu Yu began to reflect. "Miracle" recruited volunteers, and as soon as they completed their participation, they were transformed into loyal subordinates of the organization.

Chang Ning had been discussing how to make a clean escape with Mu Qingyan when this tragic news arrived. It took every ounce of her tempered will to remain calm.

"This... I still need to wait. It seems the research institute where my parents used to work was shut down long ago, and I don't know the current whereabouts of the people who were there." Chu Yu searched for the "Jin Xue Research Institute" on his phone with a sense of frustration.

"I know military strategy, and I know the whereabouts of the lost fragments of the Art of War!" Seeing the lecherous glint in their eyes, Qin Zhaoning instinctively retreated into the depths of the great hall.

When the scene reappeared before us, we were in an unknown forest. Unlike the beast zones managed by the academy, the trees here grew in bizarre shapes, emanating an eerie aura that chilled the blood.

From that moment on, peace vanished from this forest. A trio of travelers arrived, known as the "Roadblockers"; once targeted by them, no one ever escaped.

Lin Yu shrugged helplessly, deciding to enjoy the moment of leisure; he closed his eyes and leaned back against his seat.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao grabbed an assault rifle and roared, "Brothers, follow me and charge in!" With that, he sprinted forward, firing wildly at the surrounding enemies. The other special operations soldiers surged forward as well, suppressing the enemy with gunfire while charging ahead with reckless abandon.

Now that they were at war with the United States, they had to see it through! Perhaps, just perhaps, the next engagement would allow them to thoroughly annihilate the American navy and force them to the negotiating table. If that happened, the Empire of Great Japan might still have a chance at world hegemony.

Shortly thereafter, an imperial decree ordered the execution of Xiao Wangdao, the commander of the Western Capital’s military patrol, and forty-six others at the Vegetable Market execution grounds. Ning Maichen, the Vice-Prefect of Jingzhao, was demoted to a registrar in Lingzhou, and the wrongfully killed Turks were given a lavish burial.

Xie Xiong said, "Fooling around with others is no big deal; everyone does it, and everyone is doing it. You just have to make sure it doesn't lead to your family being torn apart."

Xie Fanrong drained his glass in one gulp: "Brothers, we toast together, no order of precedence, we drink together, no distinction between us."

Even though he had been with Yue Li for such a long time, every time he saw her, he was still struck by her stunning beauty.

Lin Yun’s nature was sinister and cruel. Having been beaten like this, he must hate me to the core, and it was now a life-or-death vendetta.

"Did Guo Cong'an mean that if he helps resolve the bank loan, the two hundred million won't need to be paid back?" I looked at Lu Xudong, unable to believe my ears.

It was no illusion on Hideaki Anno’s part. From the moment he entered the conference room, Qin Han had been observing this director—famed in his previous life—with keen interest.

Abroad, when I received her first call, I didn't probe how she had obtained my number. Now that I was back, receiving her first call here, I still didn't ask. I felt that some things need not be spoken; I understood them in my heart.

Shortly after the numerous eerie faces burst out, the pitch-black sealing wall could no longer hold. After a few crisp cracks, it collapsed with a loud boom, pulverized by a powerful force from within. It shattered into uniform, pitch-black energy blocks, which in a heartbeat dissolved into streaks of grey-black demonic mist.

Because electronic goods have almost zero cost, every copy of a game sold is essentially pure profit.

The black mist gradually dissipated, and the weather improved significantly. The three members of the Nine Group had been completely corrupted; their bodies were now possessed by the three Great Sages, and their souls had likely been extinguished.

Watching Chen Jiran vanish into the distance in the blink of an eye, Gu Xixi felt even more aggrieved.

The result of trying to multitask was a hesitation in Hao Yu’s movements. Just then, a warning call came from a tree nearby—it was Guo Huitong, her voice tinged with both trepidation and anxiety.

She was already accustomed to it, used to repeatedly employing such methods to trample Gu Xixi and force her into submission.
