Chapter 45

"Step right up, take a look! The annual Bushido Tournament hosted by Liang Town is going to be held tomorrow!" shouted a newsboy at the top of his lungs, his arms cradling a stack of various newspapers.

Subconsciously sensing an unspeakable threat, the White Ape launched a verbal attack on the inner demon to prevent it from revealing any more of the truth.

"Lord City Lord, Lord City Lord, over here! Can you help get us out first?" Leo shouted loudly, the appearance of the City Lord making him feel as though he had seen a savior.

Economically, it was impossible to say for sure; after all, in the known history of the World of Ice and Fire, there were no exact records of adult dragons being bought and sold with a clear price tag.

Most of these patients were severely injured; some had even lost arms and legs, and others were in an even more gruesome state. Just a single glance made my stomach churn and rise, leaving me a bit nauseated, though I felt rather embarrassed to show it in front of Chen Haodong.

Hearing that he had come specifically to see her, Qimeng could not help feeling a little moved. For so many years, no one had ever cared about her like this...

Time was limited. After the active destruction of the great cannon, the remaining power of the Supreme Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was insufficient to completely erase the lingering intelligence. He might still be able to salvage a few fragments of practically useful information from it for study, which could perhaps help him sever his binding with the Condor Heroes world.

Just at that moment, a massive surge of black flames erupted from behind Tiga, who had only taken a few steps forward. Before he could even react, Tiga was struck square by the black flames. A cracking explosion rang out, and in sheer agony, Tiga was knocked crashing to the ground.

Because she had spent the entire morning accompanying Sarah in conversation and even had lunch with her, Lin Ruoxue did not return to the company until past one o'clock in the afternoon. Consequently, much of her work for the day remained unfinished, leaving her with no choice but to work overtime tonight.

Out of caution, Aeger still ordered his accompanying soldiers to remain fully armed and on high alert. To his astonishment, however, trouble ultimately emerged right by his side in a form he could never possibly have guarded against.

"Brother Hai'er! Calm down!" Watching Lin Canghai brush him aside to beat up that Japanese man once more, Luo Bao finally grew angry as well. He lunged forward and slammed directly into Lin Canghai, forcefully shoving him off to the side.

Chu Fei, leading the vanguard ahead, received the news immediately, personally took a team in pursuit by car, and reported the update back to headquarters.

It was plainly evident that Wuyu was in high spirits. As he dispensed herbal decoctions to the patients, he would occasionally reach out to check their pulses. Naturally, the source of his good mood was the visible progress and containment of the patients' conditions.

Next was Chunyu Yue. Chunyu Yue would have loved to win back a bit of face for Cao Pi, but alas, he had the heart without the strength. His end was even more miserable than Pang Yong's, as he was sent flying straight through the air by a direct blast.

Far away in Brilliant City, Biqi naturally grew extremely worried upon receiving the news about her imperial father and mother, and could only turn to Ying Changkong and Qin Wudao for help.

Devouring the dishes on the table in a ravenous flurry, Lin Canghai checked the time and decided to head over to the sales department. After all, since Fang Baiwan had bestowed upon him the title of manager, he ought to at least barely fulfill his duties so as to make Fang Baiwan value him even more.

"The Light of Life—are you a six-attribute spiritual master?" Liu Xin finally managed to trace the source of that flash of blue light in her mind. Only the Light of Life, formed by the fusion of six elemental spiritual powers, possessed such miraculous efficacy to instantly heal injured tissue, and possessing six attributes meant being a Heavenly Spiritual Master.

Zhao Ziwei felt a sudden case of goosebumps all over her body and hurriedly said, "Stop, stop right there. I don't feel a single thing for you."

With such thoughts in mind, and since he had nothing better to do, Lin Canghai simply decided to stay and wait in line here. He certainly wanted to see what that famous nun actually looked like.

At last, once the car started moving, I, huddled tightly in the corner of the seat, could not help pressing against the car window, gazing out at the place where I had lived—the place that had dealt me an even deeper measure of suffering.

This overpowering momentum felt tangible, forming wave after wave of visible ripples that radiated outward. The surrounding air began to distort under the weight of this presence, as if the entire space were trembling beneath his dominance.

"Oh, where did an extra child come from?" Mother Shang finished speaking before she finally noticed the two toddlers perched on You Yi's shoulders.

Yi Xia stared at the calendar on her mobile phone, silently calculating in the depths of her heart the day Chen Fangping would completely depart from China.

"You're not allowed to insult Xian. Even if he's an idiot, you're not much better yourself." Mao Leyan glared at him.

That elite squad had been formed from the very strongest batch of soldiers; they were the hidden trump card kept securely in his hands.

The final few gates were assigned by drawing lots, resulting in the South Gate going to the Liu family, the West Gate to the Zhang family, and the North Gate to the Xiao family.

Chen Enterprises was immensely powerful; merely looking at its main administrative office building was enough to evoke a sense of awe. In the heart of the most prosperous commercial district, the Chen family occupied an entire building all to themselves.

Xiong Hensheng, who had been glaring with a fierce and murderous gaze at Wang Yuetian, froze involuntarily upon seeing that smile. The onlookers, who were closely following how the situation was developing, were also left momentarily baffled by Wang Yuetian's inexplicable grin.

Considering that the purpose of the autumn hunt was game hunting, the distance between the vanguard team and the main contingent had to be kept slightly further apart.

Before long, the man successfully cut out the glass, opened the car door, and climbed inside. After a short while, he emerged from the vehicle, adjusted his backpack, and prepared to leave.

As Reimi's countdown reached its end, Teacher Tang transmitted a command for a compulsory fifteen-second shutdown to all robots. Across the entire planet, robots simultaneously received the order and deactivated their internal systems.
