Volume 1 Chapter 23 Surveillance

Times create heroes, especially in such chaotic eras. Those at a loss easily develop a faith in heroes, and Lu Fan was undoubtedly such a hero.

What annoyed him most was that his current appearance simply would not fade away.

To take a step back, the restaurants in Star City were all monopolized by the five great families. Now that such a major incident had occurred at the Shen family restaurant, where else could people go but to the restaurants of the four remaining families?

Li Shaofan smiled and said nothing. Although he knew these experts would not do anything excessive, the necessary words had to be spoken; otherwise, if any accidents were to occur, it would be difficult to account for them.

With Liu Bang’s final basic attack, the Lanling King’s health bar dropped to the bottom and hit zero.

Once this matter was settled, the senior personnel of the Xichuan base were dismissed, leaving only the members of the Lu Army to gather and discuss the major situation.

Dongfang Shu walked over with a cold face, but even so, his impression remained that of a young maiden acting spoiled, his voice permeated with a faint, affected sweetness.

"Hahahaha!" The crowd burst into uproarious laughter, for the arrow Chu Tian had shot did not hit the target at all. He had missed.

The process of collecting the Infinity Stones had been quite easy for Sean; after all, given his abilities at that time, almost no one could stop his actions. Describing it as the calm before the storm would not be an exaggeration.

It was like Tian Heng and Zhang Liang at Bolangsha, or Prince Dan and Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the First Emperor of Qin. Knowing they would surely die, they still fought with their lives, because if the tyrannical First Emperor were killed, the people of the world might have hope, and they themselves would go down in history.

This building housed many companies, banks, securities firms, and several jewelry companies, all settled within its walls.

"That is good. The upcoming training will be quite a trial for you." As he spoke, he led the two of them to a stone wall.

As a busy man, Stark only knew of the existence of the superhero Homelander because Kane himself was famous—so famous that even a busy man like Stark had heard of his reputation.

However, when it came to the fourth door, it only let out a creak but did not open completely.

Jiang Sunchi decided to attend this evaluation meeting. Originally, he intended to feign a headache or fever to skip it, but since Jiang Yiquan wanted him to go so badly, he would go. However, he had to prepare in advance; he didn't want to end up making a fool of himself instead of gaining fame.

Before the police could respond, Ji Ruijia hurriedly took out her phone to call Xia Moqing. She wasn't sure if Xia Moqing would uphold justice, but she figured she had to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.

This noisy night did not affect Caesar. As the saying goes, if a man has no far-sighted worries, he will have near-sighted sorrows. When Elizabeth argued with Caesar over the issue of Hela, how could he possibly pay attention to those commoners who had nothing to do with him?

Seeing this, the frivolous man wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and ultimately made no sound.

"Let's go back inside and eat." The old man, fearing they would be embarrassed, quickly stepped in to defuse the situation and told them to go inside.

Because she was anxious to confess her feelings, Mi Xiaoxiao’s voice trembled, which to Haibo looked like a sign of her having a guilty conscience. Haibo began to put on his clothes, and Mi Xiaoxiao immediately realized he was about to leave. In her desperation, she lunged forward and grabbed his arm. To her surprise, Haibo did not stop; he forcefully shook her off, stood by the bed, and began to pull up his trousers.

Since Cheng Yuyao had taken the initiative to suggest it, Jiao Haonan went along with it, half-reluctantly.

Although being mocked had made him feel somewhat embarrassed, at least his heart felt a little better now.

I gasped, my heart racing with fear. What on earth was this thing? Even the methods passed down by my ancestors were useless—what was I supposed to do?

No matter how angry or irritable Nalan Shixin was on normal days, he would never show it in front of Ji Fengsu.

But he did not want Lan Yu to discover all of this. He loved watching her excited expression as she focused on explaining things to him: her fair face glowing with a rosy hue, her red lips moving up and down, and the spirited light flickering in her eyes. Everything about her felt like the warm sun in winter, making his heart feel warm and bright.

But things were different now. Her master had arrived, and after opening the medicine bottle, just a single sniff made her feel much more clear-headed. Her master was indeed worthy of the title—every move was extraordinary.

That day, he arrived at the training ground a bit late, and only a few diligent students remained, pondering and practicing a few moves. When he asked about Zhai Jin’s whereabouts, they all said he had left early in the morning; as for where he went, who knew?

Zhang Yusheng controlled Lucian, using his E skill to dodge the Orianna’s attack, and then landed two passive shots on her.

Ji Fengsu said coldly, "No matter how useless I, Ji Fengsu, may be, I cannot be such a coward as to let someone else die for me. What kind of person would that make me? Besides, this person who would die for me has children to raise."

After obtaining both items, Feng Jianxun stored them in the system space and left immediately.

Xie Wanjun chuckled, "Let's go, let's go. While the sun isn't too strong, we must hurry and get to work." Her heart was filled with joy as she pulled Su Qing’s hand and continued walking. Su Qing had no choice but to follow.

"My status and cultivation are limited, so I don't know much. If you want specific details, I'm afraid you'll have to ask this gentleman here. I hear the Baili family, one of the three great families of Panlong Town, is an affiliated family of the Chu Sect. He certainly knows more!" Ye Wushuang glanced at Chu Renkuang not far away.
