Chapter Sixty: Bai Haochen's Trial as a Knight Candidate

"Uh..." Bai Haochen smiled shyly, feeling the situation was rather awkward. He was a boy, after all. How could anyone call him cute? Bai Haochen felt helpless inside.

"Sister Li Xin, I'm ten years old this year," Bai Haochen said softly, his gentle voice immediately softening Li Xin's gaze.

"Not bad, ten years old," she said, looking at Bai's delicate features and the braid in his hair.

With the possibility that Fishman Tom possessed the plans for the Lord of the Underworld, the World Government would never rely solely on ordinary naval soldiers for surveillance. These three CP9 members were the real trump card to ensure Fishman Tom would not escape.

No one knew how much time passed before Shen Ruhua pushed open the door and came out, looking at Ruge, who sat on the bench before her.

They were on a hillside now, the spot a bit higher up, with a downward slope ahead and a canning factory by the roadside.

Shang Yu said, "Saving her life is good enough. I don't want to know too much. Besides, who knows if what she says is true? Asking is pointless." After what happened with Jin Xinmin, Shang Yu no longer dared to trust anyone easily.

Xia Zihan's ordeal had indeed pained them deeply, but they couldn't let Jiang Fengping spend her days in tears. Keeping her busy was truly a good solution.

"I don't really want to bring this up, but people from the neighboring village want you dead," Orochimaru said, eager to kill those who wanted Takagi Shounin gone. Unfortunately, the head of the gold exchange was stubborn and wouldn't reveal the employer's identity. There was nothing Orochimaru could do, and since he didn't know any interrogation jutsu, he simply let the man go.

Moreover, Rain's strength had already surpassed what it was back then, and with his hundredfold amplification increasing the speed of his strikes, the power of True Dragon Fang had reached a terrifying level.

The Otsutsuki clan was an extremely powerful race. They could absorb others' chakra, so no matter how strong the tailed beasts were, they were of little use. Only taijutsu could defeat them.

As dusk approached, Qin Zheng glanced at his wristwatch, put down his work, and made a phone call.

"What gives you the right to say I can't go? Who are you to me? Why should I care what you think? Stop the car—I'm getting out!" Bai Ranyan shouted angrily at Lan Yanfeng, her face flushed with rage.

The underground boxing ring was well-known among the Army—there was plenty of profit. The Army had heard Wang Hu speak of it more than once, but had never been there. Hearing the short man mention it now, he was tempted to see it for himself.

"President, Wang Tianzhan is old. He ought to retire. You show him kindness, but he doesn't appreciate it," Li Chenxing said, having visited Wang Tianzhan only to be turned away, his heart full of frustration.

"Thankfully I died many years ago. If I'd lived in the same era as such monsters, it would have been tragic indeed," the man in white joked, as though he'd witnessed many so-called prodigies meet ruin.

"Mummy! Daddy won't really hurt Zhefeng, will he?" Yan Ke watched his father ascend the stairs with a stern face, gazing into the empty corridor, his eyes filled with worry.

Pills poured from the porcelain bottle, and streams of information flooded his mind, causing Yuan Qingfeng's brow to furrow ever more tightly.

Ye Feng was shocked; the author of the scroll understood a martial artist's aura with uncanny precision, leaving him awestruck.

The tall man hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're not robbers. We are..." As he spoke, he reached to remove his mask and sunglasses.

Gu Guorong was feeling smug, and just as he planned to seize Linfeng, Gu Zhefeng returned from abroad, catching him completely off guard! Gu Qianmo, unwilling to accept it, hired someone to attack Gu Zhefeng, only to suffer a terrible car accident.

But with what happened to President Zhang, who could have done it? Who had the audacity to target him like that?

Everyone followed Tian Qi's instructions, feeling their way down through the darkness. As the depth increased, Tian Qi could feel the mother-and-child jade pendant in his hand trembling more and more strongly, proof that they were getting ever closer to their goal.
