He’d rather avoid finding himself in a situation where a twenty-million advertising budget for Mercedes ends up with a mere fifty-thousand-dollar production cost.

The sudden assault on her sensitive chest brought Tsunade back to her senses, rewarding Kato Gufeng with a pair of lovely, reproachful glares. However, this time she did not swat her husband's hand away, knowing it would be futile anyway—he would only touch her again a moment later. She knew all too well her husband's obsessive fixation with her body.

Yet, he had successfully sought a blessing from Lu Wude, naturally absorbing the Lu family's fortune. For reasons unknown, Lu Wude had chosen to show mercy.

"Answering the Lord Lord, as the Cold Flame Army suffered a crushing defeat on the border, the influence of nearly all city lords has been diminished to varying degrees."

Both of Deng Zijie's parents were social elites, and he lacked nothing. There was simply no way to approach him; abandonment was the only option.

At this thought, Chen Feng suddenly felt as though a colossal conspiracy was enshrouding him.

Jiang Nan wore short attire woven alternately from straw and animal hide, his skin deeply tanned, and his face covered in a beard. A long scar made people give him a wide berth, making him look almost indistinguishable from a member of some primitive tribe.

Wood Release might become one of Kato Gufeng's hidden trump cards against others at any given moment—for instance, using Wood Release as a thread to continue digging traps for the "Pot-Shadow" Shimura Danzo, just as he had originally planned.

Nobody knew what materials the Crow Corps had used for this wave of smoke bombs; the smoke came in both black and white, offering not only remarkable visual obstruction but also lasting for a very long time. Twenty or thirty of these were hurled across the sky, most landing on the surface of the stream, while a few thrown with greater force landed directly on the banks.

I suddenly recalled that whether I was interacting with Su Jing or married to Su Mo, I had never laid eyes on their father, nor did I have any idea what kind of person he was. Hearing Su Heng address him just now, their relationship seemed chillingly distant.

"Damn it! A large-scale self-destruction right off the bat?" Richard stared wide-eyed at the clay puppet as the magical energy reaction within it surged rapidly. Based on past experience, this was the precursor to an explosion.

Seeing that I remained silent, Zeng Moyan stopped speaking as well. I left him staring at the back of my head in refusal, gazing blankly out the window at the deepening night sky.

As the 2-second bind took effect, Qiu Mu was forced to temporarily slow his offensive, watching helplessly as his opponent fled in panic, though his eyes held not a hint of anxiety.

"Flare!" It was a very simple spell, not even reaching the first tier, something an ordinary person could pick up with ease. Yet, this spell was favored by many mercenaries because it was extraordinarily effective against creatures that relied primarily on vision to gather information about their surroundings.

I said nothing, merely staring at him with wide eyes, wishing I could look straight into the depths of his heart.

Just as he was preparing to fire another shot, a bullet whind past right next to his ear. Thinking it was just a lucky shot by the opponent, he raised his gun to fire again, only for another bullet to graze his scalp. Although it didn't cause a direct injury, his scalp burned with a fiery pain.

After finishing my call with Ye Shengyin, I felt a great deal of my pent-up frustration dissipate. The taxi entered streets I found somewhat familiar, and thinking about the kind of Lu Xudong I might soon face, although still a bit apprehensive, I felt much more calm.

Mama Gu was momentarily stunned by Wang Enzheng's suddenly popping up as an adopted son, clearly having no idea what was going on.

People far and wide might afford to ignore the truth of the matter, but the major news media in Ningcheng could not sit still. They mobilized every resource at their disposal to investigate the truth. If the rumors proved true, things were about to get very interesting.

The bandits originally lacked the courage to participate in battles between shinobi, but Dongfang Yunyang and his two companions appeared severely injured—especially Dongfang Yunyang, who was already lying down—so they mustered their courage and closed in.

Eastern silk, porcelain, lacquerware, and tea had always been the most sought-after luxury goods in the West.

"Soul-Shattering Dragon Roar! This is... Elder Longjian's Void-Piercing Might?" Jiang长安 widened his eyes in astonishment. This technique shared uncanny similarities with Granny Wu's Soul-Governing Power, yet surpassed it entirely. While Soul-Governing Power focused on seizing souls and minds, Elder Longjian's approach was far more overbearing, directly destroying them instead. Superiority and inferiority were instantly clear at a glance.

During the formulation of the pirate subjugation plan in Sea King City, the targets determined by Dongfang Yunyang, Yejiu, Berry, and the others included four located within the waters of the Land of Rivers. Furthermore, the Giant Shark Pirate Group had frequently operated in the Land of Rivers' waters in the past, making that maritime region a relatively turbulent area.

Dongfang Yunyang's Bone Guardance indeed sparked considerable astonishment and curiosity among the spectators, and the people from the Muyan Village were no exception. Aside from Kinoshita Rokuro, who had witnessed Dongfang Yunyang's Kekkei Genkai—Dead Bone Pulse—none of the other seated villagers had ever seen it before.

It was said that there one must endure the baptism of the River of Forgetfulness, washing away all memories completely before being permitted to step into reincarnation.

On the fifth day, Lin Chu and her family finally returned home. The familiar room, the familiar aura—Lin Chu lay on the bed, feeling thoroughly relaxed. Although the past five days had been leisurely, dealing with people every day still left her mentally somewhat exhausted.

Be that as it may, though Lady Lanyi offered silver to Mr. Liang, Liang Xinhua refused to accept it. Lady Lanyi was not one to let the matter drop; despite her impoverished family background, she had never liked taking advantage of others.

Liang Shangguo charged with ferocious momentum, and having previously served on the battlefield taking lives, Sasaki was no match for him. After exchanging merely two blows, Sasaki was already at a disadvantage.

Even Ghost Lord and Wu Yi cast appreciative glances toward Chengmu after listening to Chu Yang's words. Wu Yi, in particular, seemed to have known long ago that this Chengmu was no ordinary person.

"Have you ever considered what the ultimate purpose of cultivation actually is?" Qian stared intently into Bai Yuan's eyes, his expression solemn.

Su Yingxue broke out in a cold sweat for herself. Fortunately, when Mo Jinxuan had asked her earlier, she hadn't mentioned being abducted by mountain bandits; otherwise, a prince acknowledging a mountain bandit as his sworn sworn brother would surely draw harsh criticism.

Mo Chenyu shook his head. "I don't know either. When I reached the stable, she was already injured." As he spoke, he anxiously awaited the arrival of the medical officer.

With no other choice, Ghost Lord had to leave the Grand Commander's military tent, ordering a few ordinary soldiers to go into Flying Leaf City and recall all members of the Old Ghost Mercenary Corps.

Xu Qiang suddenly let out a shout, and the members of the Xu family were seen slicing open their palms one after another, pressing their bloody hands onto Xu Qiang's body.
