Volume One, Chapter 48: I Swear to Protect You Completely

Qin Moque had always been half skeptical about the idea that Shi Qingqian could heal him.

Unlike other countries, where the death of the highest military commander necessitates a government reappointment, causing a brief power vacuum, here the situation was different.

Though it was already the sweltering heat of summer, the sunlight scattered across the streets of Tokyo still carried a certain chill to those familiar with the vast metropolis.

At the very moment they were about to reach their destination, the shadow warrior suddenly activated a special module—the Shadow Avatar.

Han Xiaojing watched from a distance inside the car, unwilling to get closer. She simply did not know what to say. Should she laugh? Or cry?

The two gentlemen, dressed in suits, performed a rough inspection and handed the invitation and the auction number card to Han Xuan.

Lin Dong, who came from a temporary worker background, hardly looked like a genius; the only conclusion was to treat him as a madman.

After dinner, Luo Kai went online and learned of Lin Mu’s situation. He felt no schadenfreude, only a trace of sympathy, for after all, he had once been a brother to him.

The mysterious Heavenly Machine soared out from the Nine Heavens Wind Layer. Ahead lay the boundless expanse of the starry cosmos, but he had no intention of continuing forward. Instead, with a flick of his hand, he cast a series of hand seals, invoking the Great Translocation technique. In an instant, he tore through the void and arrived in a uniquely distinct space.

Upon seeing the skill screenshot, everyone finally believed him, their eyes filled with envy.

When else to eat if not now? Just moments ago, that “water-boiled and fire-grilled” ordeal had left one in dire straits, nearly meeting their end right then and there.

Inside the gun manufacturing workshop, Lin Han, the deputy chief engineer of the former Hanyang Arsenal’s gun production, presented a detailed report on the early preparatory work of the arsenal.

“You crush every company run by those guys’ parents until they collapse, leaving them homeless by the next day. The following day, no one dares to mock them, nor even speak to me,” Alice shouted angrily.

“They can’t afford to provoke Germany, but it’s quite possible they’ll bully the weak and inept Qing government. The bandits in southwest Shandong might be in for trouble,” Chen Ning analyzed.

The figure fell, blood splattered. As the crimson flowed onto the stage below, what followed were the piercing screams from the audience.

For much of his esports career, Guanghua had been overshadowed by Zeus Shen Arthur, but Valentine understood Seth’s feelings best. These two stoic men, both reluctant to chat with strangers, found themselves unusually compatible upon getting to know each other. Once they opened up, their conversation was unstoppable, leaving Lin Peng and Xiao Menglou sidelined.

“One, suppressing bandits allows us to seize supplies for military use. Two, it wins local hearts and expands the influence of the militia. Three, it replenishes manpower. Four, it serves as real combat training. This move is brilliant. After this campaign, Chen Ning will have full control over Rizhao County,” Old Master Wang analyzed.

“That’s because your volunteer preference was changed by your father, you fool—he switched it to management!” After hearing Sun Changjiang’s words, Shi Yi was even more incredulous. How could he do such a thing? His lifelong dream was design, yet because of this alteration, he lost the chance to pursue what he loved most.
