140 Do Not Follow in the Footsteps of Your In-Laws

A trace of terror had already appeared on the scarred man's face. His two companions possessed strength comparable to his own, yet they were completely defenseless in the hands of the person before them.

Xia Yuanshan narrowed his eyes instantly. It was not that he doubted the truth of the matter; rather, he trusted Xu Chen implicitly and had no doubts whatsoever about the bug.

After hanging up the phone, the worry on Liu Yushi's face grew even more intense. Her father had clearly left work to come home, yet he had not returned, and most importantly, his phone was completely unreachable.

I controlled the continuously swirling medicinal potency within the alchemy furnace. Once wave after wave of refreshing and invigorating medicinal fragrance began to waft out, I nodded at Man'er and swiftly withdrew both hands from the furnace.

"Let me tell you, looking at her state, she is most likely not even fourteen years old yet. You should be well aware of what the law says on this matter," Tang Yandrou said with righteous indignation.

"Holy Sword, slash!" With holy light pervading the air and the blessing of the Dao Tree, this sword strike of mine was immeasurably stronger than the previous one as I met Nangong Li head-on.

My premonition had not been wrong. President Su's disappearance today turned out to be an abduction carried out by the other party. It seemed they were finally about to surface; for the sake of the ring, they must have grown quite impatient.

Another major client had come looking for them, specifically requesting Ouyang Jianghe to personally escort the shipment because the cargo this time was extremely valuable.

I gently pushed the door open and saw a burning incense burner, as well as the black-robed gentleman sitting in meditation. In front of the gentleman stood another alchemy furnace, inside which a fierce fire was blazing.

Time flew by to the evening of the next day. The whereabouts of Toyo Yamano, whom Chu Yi had asked Yamamoto to inquire about, had also been uncovered.

This man had visited the West Lake Asset Management Company once before. Moreover, everyone held a deep impression of this man who sported a toothbrush mustache, had the slender build of a bean sprout, and began demanding the redemption of funds the moment he opened his mouth.

"Sister Xiu, will our promotion plan for the next stage still be executed?" Ah Dong asked with a drooping face.

"This production by Star Spirit Games is completely different from the examples mentioned above." She brought up the theory she had just discussed regarding movies, novels, and songs also creating worlds.

"The lightsaber is merely one of the military applications of this technology. At the same time, it has been gradually applied to the manufacturing sector. Just half a month ago, the world's first four-axis three-linkage laser cutting machine tool was manufactured—an undoubtedly world-leading achievement." Yuan Tiancheng was filled with confidence regarding this.

"What is Brother An's view on this?" Li Jing's eyes flashed with a cold light. He did not consider himself a good person; for a figure like An Daoquan, he had no intention of letting him go. Persuading him earnestly was naturally ideal, but if the other party refused, he would not mind emulating the outlaws of Liangshan by cutting off his retreat first.

"Chen Dong, what are you people doing?" At this moment, an elderly voice rang out, and Li Gang was seen leading more than a dozen Imperial Academy scholars out. With his white hair fluttering in the wind, Li Gang looked at Chen Dong with an expression of annoyance in his eyes.

This was the situation Liang Yue guarded against the most. He discovered that... he still found it very difficult to integrate into this world. He even lacked the slightest vigilance expected of an intelligence operative. How could there possibly be no surveillance equipment in a place like the KCIA headquarters?

Judging by his tone, it seemed that in his youth he too had experienced an epic era of pursuing the power of the Elder Wand.

To speak from the heart, what she worried about was not Zou Qing's safety, but rather what kind of terrifying shock wave the death of a senior worker bee would trigger within the Star Spirit Council.

Seeing Yu Ying's smile, Wang Yue was filled with infinite courage. Back when her family and her husband's family had joined forces to deal with her, the former Yu Ying had not been discouraged either; instead, she had adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy to resolve them one by one.

The Donka family had always been a potential hidden trouble for him. Now that someone had delivered themselves to his doorstep, should he make good use of them or not?

Originally, I only realized that I could not stop yet, that I had to keep going because there was still another decade left. But now, I realized that none of the others had stopped either; everyone had kept moving forward the entire time. That plan was still continuing, only it had become more covert.

However, while practicing and comprehending the explosive spiral power of the Collapsing Fist, I was also pondering my own shortcoming, which was my movement technique.

After sorting himself out, Han Jinfeng drove straight to the Han Group and flung this large bag of items directly at Han Jinfeng. He was furious—furious that Han Jinfeng had acted on his own initiative to help him, only to make things worse instead.

Enke Schiller's face, however, held not a shred of smile, his eyebrows slanted upward as he recalled the warning Chris had given him that morning.

At this moment, upon hearing that his father had actually been murdered by someone, alongside his anger, a welling tide of immense grief surged within Xiao Ba's heart.

After Officer Zhao and the team of police officers departed, looking at the blue sky, the soft twilight, and the brilliant sunset glow, Qin Long took a deep breath.

Catherine did not want to trouble Su Rong and Wei Yi, so she lived together with Elias Wade at the diplomatic embassy, becoming a bona fide ambassadorial wife. Occasionally, she would return to the Donka family to visit her elders and her family head brother, gradually easing the estrangement that had existed between her and her family for so many years.

"Esteemed brother, we genuinely intend to stay here for a few days. Could you please help us find a place to live?" Zhu Hong handed him a piece of shattered silver.

What else was sent afterward, I no longer knew. Because these few words alone were enough to plunge me into the abyss.

He felt as though a wall was blocking his path. He tried countless times yet could not step past it, yet he happened to see others walking past him with ease. Why was it that things others could accomplish so effortlessly were things he could not get past no matter how much effort he expended?

Running more than a hundred meters away from the city gate, Monkey and Zhuqing quietly slowed down. After putting some distance between themselves and the Japanese soldiers ahead, the two of them abruptly changed direction and bolted at a full run.

In the dream world, nothing made logical sense. Liu Zuoshi was carrying a burlap sack stuffed with money, yet his body felt like a hydrogen-filled balloon, bounding dozens of meters into the air with a single light jump, though this flying motion was slowed down to an absolute extreme.

Suiyu Destruction asked anxiously, no longer understanding what on earth she was searching for, knowing only that the countless unsolved problems in her heart were causing her great distress.

Chang Gehang stood on ceremony; they were already each other's wife, so what need was there for formalities! He grabbed his wine glass and downed its contents in a single gulp.

In reality, less than five hundred years had passed since the previous Immortal-Demon Great War before this new war erupted once again.

"Please wait a moment, we will be able to announce the list of winners for this event very shortly," the host called out to stop us as we walked toward the stage.

"Judging by your appearance, the business of your jewelry firm must be developing quite well, making preparations for the source of goods well in advance!" You Yunlei said with a smile.

As soon as Mercedes left, the loli's body went limp and she collapsed onto the bed, then began to moan. When I asked her what was wrong, she merely shook her head, saying she felt the power within her body swelling in an explosive manner—the sensation felt as though her body was about to burst apart.
