Volume 1, Chapter 30: Once Decided, It’s for a Lifetime!

In truth, the house that had been entered by mistake was only three doors down from where he lived, so he was back home in no time.

As soon as he stepped onto the escalator, Lin Feng spotted a familiar figure heading toward the upper floors at the top of the stairs.

Yet his enthusiasm remained entirely unaffected by her words. He busied himself with phone calls and searched for information on his computer; his frantic demeanor left Mother Jiang, who had come to cook for them, quite astonished.

Zhou Zhengming looked on with a trace of confusion but refrained from pressing further. He told her to head home first, then turned back toward his shop when someone inside called out to buy breakfast.

Indeed, that young man from the Northeast was Jiang Yanyang’s younger brother, Jiang Lei. Ignoring his sister, he simply handed a counted stack of cash to the two reporters.

If not for the mobile phone in her hand, there was truly nothing about her that suggested she belonged to the modern era.

The department was already short-staffed, and at such a critical juncture, Han Ting had gone off for further training, leaving the others with an even heavier burden. He had been scheduled for a day off, but ended up having to stay in the department to assist the others.

Since Zijian needed help with a task, he naturally had to be polite. As for the notion that gifts should not be bestowed upon the lowly, to hell with that; this was simply Zijian’s way of hosting guests—if you have company, wouldn't you at least offer them a cup of tea?

"Haha, alright, no more foul language. And let’s stop talking about Lu Yuan; if I praise him behind his back and he happens to overhear, he’ll get too full of himself!" Lin Feng laughed.

Old Bai had been preoccupied with thoughts of coffee for the past few days. Upon hearing this, he grew energized and hurried to change his clothes and tidy up.

The creature that emerged from the carriage was beautiful—breathtakingly so. There was a bewitching aura about her that could captivate the world, leaving one obsessed, delirious, and willing to sacrifice everything for her.

Afterward, every time that man came to Runzhou for business, he would meet with Sun Yiyi’s mother. As time went on, they established a romantic relationship. Perhaps he was simply too good at his masquerade, or perhaps he used the promise of marriage as a lure, but he convinced Sun Yiyi’s mother to sell her house in Runzhou and take the money with him to Wudong.

Yang Youji’s sensitivity to bows and arrows surpassed all others. So, the moment Li Guang aimed, he sensed the danger. Before the arrow was even loosed, he had subconsciously sidestepped twice, narrowly dodging that lethal shot from Li Guang.

If not for the Black Card warning him that he had a balance in the Eye of the Dark Night and could not use his credit line for payments there until that balance was exhausted, Shi Lei would have likely agreed on the spot to trade twenty-five million to get back those thirty million.

However, the Heart-Control Pill had its limits; it could only control those of the same rank. Where was he supposed to find a Martial Emperor-level expert? Even if he exhausted all his resurrection points, he could at most summon a Martial King.

The Imperial Guards unleashed their skills, each of them looking resolute and ready to face death. Wu Liren knew this would be another brutal battle, but the space here was not very spacious, and his ten thousand troops could not truly deploy their strength.

Nicole couldn't be bothered with such trifles and continued, "Call it what you want, but if you swallow up Kalimantan Island, the resources on that island alone would send the U.S. stock market soaring!"

The Ferryman was somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why Shi Lei was so insistent on knowing the nature of his colleague's punishment, given that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan leaned back into the luxurious leather chair and closed his eyes. The people around him fell silent, save for Guan Xingquan, who picked up the cup from the tea table and took a sip.

It was the pinnacle of "Big Artillery Doctrine," a level of terror unprecedented and likely never to be seen again. It was doubtful anyone could withstand such a barrage.

By now, Zhou Ye had lost all traces of sleepiness. She had actually opened her eyes the moment Qi Yuan stepped through the door.

However, at this moment, Snape discovered another benefit to using ordinary ingredients for simulated training—at least whether it was a burn or a cut, without the involvement of magical potions, it was much simpler and more convenient to provide emergency treatment.

Grindelwald glanced at the young Auror, who was so terrified he couldn't speak clearly, shrugged noncommittally, and turned his head toward Dumbledore.

Qin Lihuan felt a headache coming on but was helpless to act. He could not defy his elder brother’s wishes, nor could he afford to offend his sister-in-law, as Fang Yan’s recovery depended entirely on her medical expertise.

Su Xianwan spoke with concern, feeling that there was nothing more important at the moment than Su Qianchong’s marriage, so she hurriedly informed Su Quan of the matter.

Pei Junlin, looking at the intense rage and murderous intent of Princess Lan before him, remained indifferent. After recalling his Azure Rainbow Sword, he unleashed a thunderous assault, his left hand wreathed in fire-dragon energy and his right hand flickering with sword light.

But now, even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to proceed according to this plan; after all, as things stood, the Dark Sun Clan was their greatest threat.

Though she knew how to fight, she wasn't omnipotent. If they lured her to a place teeming with their own people, no matter how skilled she was, she would be overwhelmed by their sheer numbers.

The captain of the surveillance team reported the goings-on at the San De mansion—the constant hammering and construction of pavilions over the past few days—and presented the ledger recording the movements of Chu Wu and Han Shisi before quietly retreating.

Sheng Zuo looked at Wang Liya, struggling to find the words, yet Lin Xin’s warning headline flashed through his mind once more.

On the Yanwu Continent, spirit beasts were exceptionally rare, let alone a near-extinct species like the Chongming bird. Si Nan had no doubt that once it revealed itself, swarms of organizations dedicated to capturing spirit beasts would hear the news and come to seize it.

The wording of the text message left Jia Xiaowen feeling deeply annoyed. What did he mean by... "do not miss it"?

That pig Shu Heyue—though he had been asked to prepare a long-sleeved dress, he had ended up providing a short skirt instead of a long one.

The people in the air looked like ducks being throttled, their mouths hanging wide open, as cold air mingled with the thick scent of blood poured continuously into their lungs.

Pain seeped into her limbs and marrow. To elevate her True Martial Qi to the third level, she gritted her teeth and endured.
