Chapter 97: The Wails of Despair

With that single slap, everyone except Ye Chen stared in astonishment. Ye Chen had long anticipated that after curing Zhou Shaoyuan, the man would either turn against him or submit to him. By slapping Zhang Wenhao in public, Zhou Shaoyuan had made his choice. Even Ye Chen was surprised by Zhou Shaoyuan's foresight. Qin Sisi was completely bewildered, unable to understand...

The old butler, his eyes blurred with tears, heard Li He’s words. He looked up at the energy weapon in Li He’s hand for a moment before burying his head again to continue wailing.

"No thanks, no thanks." Du Feng looked triumphantly toward his boss, only to receive a look of disgust and dismissal in return. He thought to himself that he’d better leave quickly; otherwise, if he stayed on his boss's radar, he wouldn't have an easy life.

He was deeply grateful, which was why he felt such immense rage when Donghuang Taiyi destroyed everything. He was willing to accept the karmic burdens of Yang Jian, to split the mountain to save his mother, and to secure a bright future for Yang Chan.

The reason he only acknowledged Alice was simple: among everyone present, besides Alice, who else had ever shown him a kind face?

"Tch, even if you really did dig up an imperial tomb, it wouldn't have anything to do with you. Everything underground belongs to the state," Shen Haoying said, pouring cold water on my plans.

At the Changxing Electric Vehicle Factory, aside from the production department, the sales department had the largest number of employees.

"Court dismissed!" Liu Hong flicked his robes, rose to his feet, and left, with Zhang Rang and the others hurrying after him.

Listening to Li Erlong repeating the word "narcissistic" over and over, he felt completely confused. Thinking back on how Li Erlong’s family—and Li Erlong himself—had treated him before, he sensed in his heart that this couldn't be a compliment.

Chen Fan stepped forward to explain, "It is like this: recently, I happened to pass by Umong Spirit Valley and discovered a group of men in black invading, attempting to seize the Fenji Sword. The entire tribe of Umong Spirit Valley was slaughtered."

He had just been discussing this matter with Jia Xu, and now that Zhao Yun had sent word, there was no doubt that the He-Gu tribe would certainly seek reinforcements.

Qian Bufei checked the time. It was currently around two o'clock in the afternoon. If they organized quickly, they could manage to transport a batch of tea into Xinyang City by five o'clock.

The problem lay in the Force storm carried by the crossbow bolt the moment it was fired. Su An could sense it clearly; this was an anomaly caused by the special array etched into the heavy crossbow.

Countless wriggling tentacles surged across the planet, and upon this extremely icy world, innumerable eyes slowly began to open.

As Su An opened fire on the enemy, Zhang Yuying, who had fought alongside him for so long, had anticipated his intent a step earlier. She had scanned the battlefield in advance and fired in time to provide cover, killing a Level 5 demon cultivator who had intended to target Su An, thus preventing him from being struck by the Level 3 Force bullet.

Kame-da Shichiro had been wise enough to survive years of fighting in China. Those few artillery shells just now had clearly revealed an ambush in the direction of Hedizhen. How could he be foolish enough to order his troops to turn back and jump into the enemy's trap?

Listening to the sound of Fang Yinyin’s departing footsteps, Gu Yimo did not turn back. He raised a hand to touch his lips, which had just been brushed by hers. They felt cool, soft, and strangely pleasant.

As the music reached its finale, Zhang Yaoyao finally finished singing and walked off the stage. Fortunately, she wasn't scheduled right next to Luo Yuqing this time.

Seeing Li Changshun split the fleeing Japanese soldiers into two groups in such a short time, Xie Tian shouted his approval and immediately ordered Guo Kaiming and Sun Jintao, who were hot on the heels of the enemy, to lead their troops to flank and consolidate the line of life and death that Li Changshun had carved out.

"It's you? Why are you here? Where are we?" Li Yu struggled to sit up and looked around, but it was pitch black, and nothing could be clearly seen.

When the sky grew bright, strands of sunlight shone into the living room, banishing the darkness of the previous night and instantly pulling her moral compass back into place.
