34 The Tenth Person

He stopped wearing his expensive, stylish designer clothes and instead dug out his old, inexpensive garments to wear.

Yesterday, he had pretended not to notice the loose stone and stepped on it, causing Liu Hanxi to avoid it. That evening, he told her about it, so when they reached the stone slab today, Hua Qingkong gently bumped her arm, and the two of them naturally stepped over it together.

Far away, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, a group of high-ranking officials observed the progress of the operation via video feed.

Zhou Shiting pointed a finger at him. She had talked until her mouth was dry, but to her surprise, it was of no use; this guy was immune to both soft and hard tactics.

Although Alan admitted that his words carried a hint of professional flattery, it was undeniable that the professor before him truly deserved the praise.

A-Hao understood the essence of a transmutation circle, so he naturally realized that the thing in the sky was currently being used as a summoning ritual.

That’s right—it was a rack for hanging meat. Anyone who has visited a slaughterhouse or watched relevant videos knows that after a pig is slaughtered, its internal organs and offal are removed, leaving only the empty carcass, which is then hung on individual hooks.

The electric arc was not devoured by it but had fallen inside. The reason Alan could not sense this was that, at its core, it remained a physical wall.

Mitsui Mai forced herself to remain calm, but her right hand trembled uncontrollably. She could only hide it behind her back so the others wouldn't notice.

Additionally, this pack featured functions such as power generation, water filtration, and signal reception, enhancing one's ability to survive in the wilderness.

"Qiao'er, pour the tea." Feng Wuqing smiled faintly. Seeing that he was unhurried, Lu Qiao'er felt relieved and poured the tea with deft hands.

Consequently, Tang Chen attempted to use a micro-computer to individually set guidance signal sources and encryption for specific missiles.

Rujiu, who was cleaning her Qingfeng Sword, twitched her ears; having heard this, she understood the situation perfectly. She was somewhat familiar with the temperaments of these two brothers.

Zhang Ruyun hated Qiu Muchan for harming his master and uncle, but because of his somewhat eccentric nature, he did not dwell on the fact that he hadn't been the one to capture the Laughing Arhat. Furthermore, upon hearing Fairy Shuye say she would accompany Shen Meinu—who was his uncle—he had even less reason to intervene.

Clearly, Zoe believed the fault lay with the bottom-lane Great Honghu and the support; it was they who had fed the enemy's bottom lane, otherwise, they could have easily won this game.

The immense impact sent the jailer flying backward for five or six meters, where he was pinned with a loud thud against a broken wall over two meters high.

Within the scope of her abilities, Lu Qiao'er saw her lover's state and immediately calmed her heart. She took a deep breath and gathered all her soul power.

At that moment, Zhang Ruyun and the old ape relaxed their grip. Fortunately, after a cold sneer, Yan Niang did not continue to scold them. The man and the ape let out long sighs of relief. Although Yan Niang remained annoyed, she had at least spoken, and the heavy atmosphere eased slightly.

The other party did not care about Hong Hua's threats at all. After dropping a few cold remarks and ensuring Hong Hua was sufficiently intimidated, they turned and left, continuing to keep her locked in the room until they were ready to deal with her later.

Du Xinghuai had never experienced such indulgence; he simply found the incense pleasant and had no other thoughts.

However, the man in the white suit immediately followed up with a cryptic smile and told Zhang Wei that his bodily functions would not cease while his soul was detached.

Just as Li Mengxuan had told him, she had waited for him for so long and only needed an explanation upon meeting. If he couldn't even fulfill such a request, what were the vows of marriage he had made in the past worth? Were they just a grand April Fool's joke?

If the present world were a single sheet of paper, then the Underworld would be another, and the Spirit Realm would be the space wedged between them.

"Actually, I have always been suspicious of Zhao Xin. He claimed to have met Titan, the bodyguard of Bai Yujing, but according to the files, Titan was killed by Bai Longfei two years ago."

"Igneel!" Natsu gasped in shock, but it was too late; he already smelled the scent of blood mingling in the wind.

"I know. It is precisely because it's a good opportunity for you to grow closer as siblings that I agreed to Xia Menghan's request to perform in the play. Otherwise... she would never have had the chance or possibility to step on stage." As Xia Mengxue spoke, Xu Yixi shrank his neck.

An Rufeng felt a secret joy in his heart, but on the surface, he maintained his upright and dignified posture, raising his wine glass.

"So what if it's dangerous! I cannot stand by and watch Igneel die in battle. Even if my strength is weak, even if my presence doesn't change the outcome, I must still fight alongside you!" Natsu yelled, fighting back tears.

Huge sea giants moved massive stone pillars, stacking them in front of the yet-to-be-completed palace, while many laborers helped with the dismantling and transport.

Wang Shen immediately floored the accelerator, speeding forward and rushing out of the station. Because of the dim light, the Japanese soldiers behind the car couldn't see clearly and assumed the vehicle was full of prisoners, so they gave frantic chase.

Xie Anbo’s expression had turned icy to the extreme. He raised his hand and slapped him, not even bothering to ask others to look away, delivering the blow right in front of everyone.

Shao Fei knew in his heart that the earnest words he had just spoken were superfluous. He simply lacked confidence that these twelve men could complete the training he had planned for them.

Just as Hong Hua was about to call the police, the bedroom door was pounded with a loud 'bang-bang,' startling her as she leaned against the door to make the call. Her hand trembled, and the phone fell directly to the floor. She hurriedly picked it up to check; luckily, the screen wasn't shattered, or the phone would have been ruined.

After wandering outside all day, Tang Yun returned to the palace. Having gathered specific intelligence on the Diqiang, she returned to her room. Just as she was considering how to pass the recent news to Xiao Lang so he could take the opportunity to attack the Northern Desert army, she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

This sleep was very deep. Han Wei didn't wake up until the next afternoon, and even then, it was only because he was starving. Seeing the time, Han Wei hurriedly got up and dressed quickly. Without even stopping to eat, he headed to the hospital. He didn't know how Elder Qiu and the others were doing, and without seeing them, he felt uneasy.
