Chapter 56 Striking While the Iron is Hot
Meanwhile, in Gu Yan's office, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting bright patches of light on the hardwood floor. Outside the window, the hustle and bustle of the metropolis seemed to be isolated by a transparent barrier, leaving the interior in profound tranquility. On the solid wood desk, documents were neatly arranged, with one opened to densely packed data and charts recording the latest project progress of the Gu Group. Gu Yan sat in his spacious leather chair, his eyebrows...
"Master Ye, soaking up the sun again..." Two men in official attire walked over from a distance. One of them, plump in figure with a saber tucked into his waist, swaggered toward Ye Feng. Following closely behind him was another bailiff, also armed with a saber, who, judging by his attire, was a subordinate of the chubby man.
First, the Soviet Western Front, along with the 38th and 29th Corps of the Iron-Blood National Defense Army, launched a counteroffensive against the German forces from both the northern and southern directions. Under the combined pressure of the harsh climate, the Soviet troops, and the Iron-Blood National Defense Army, the German forces were repled from the vicinity of Moscow.
"Welcome to the Brotherhood!" Team leader Deng Chao walked up to Ye Bin and opened his arms, and Ye Bin gave him a hug.
"My friends, I wonder how much you think your final item is worth?" The Heavenly Emperor looked at Zhao Ying and the others with a smile and asked.
If the changes in the preceding individuals were within reason, then the transformations of Du Xixi and Lü Ziqiao were truly astonishing.
Hyuga Neji supported his forehead, took the scroll from Might Guy's hand, and unfurled it. The scroll depicted only a single tree, with the words "Tree of Chakra" written upon it, and nothing else.
"Wow! Brother Bin, was this outfit custom-made for you?" Chen He walked out, saw Ye Bin, circled around him a few times, and said.
Xuan Tianfei smiled faintly, then suddenly felt it was inappropriate. He gave a light cough and reined in his smile, only to realize that he had not smiled for a very long time. Although this smile was fleeting like an epiphyllum, it actually caused a slight ache in his facial muscles and some discomfort at the corners of his eyes. Could it be that smiling had become so unfamiliar and awkward for him?
"A magical treasure to enhance one's strength? True to Cihang Jingzhai, one of the top sects in the world, to possess such a supreme treasure. Very well, you are now qualified to fight me." Xiao Qin looked at Wang Yuyan's current realm and laughed loudly.
"Didn't you pass the preliminary rounds? Your mother is happy, so she's treating you to something good as a reward," Liu Mei said with a smile.
Zhou Shuxuan let go of her in sudden deflation. Yesterday was happy, but today wasn't quite as pleasant; having overindulged in joy, he had forgotten about sustainable development. Having just broken his vow, he was easily excitable, making it all the more difficult to endure.
After countless rounds of probing, observing the vulnerabilities the man intentionally or unintentionally revealed, Yi Yun solidified her conviction—he was anticipating her defeating him.
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. My appearance has changed, so returning to that inn just now won't be dangerous at all." Chen Xuanqi walked out of the alley openly. The pedestrians outside were gradually thinning out, and most people were returning to their respective homes to prepare for rest.
Realizing this was a golden opportunity, Feng Yan stood up almost without hesitation and headed toward his mother's room.
However, regardless of what was said or what the future might hold, he was very satisfied with his own changes. After all, everyone wanted to live a more colorful and vibrant life.
The voice was icy cold, feeling almost like a gust of chilling wind suddenly blowing in his face, causing Ji Zhong to shiver involuntarily.
Just as she reached the doorway, Zhou Shuxuan entered the courtyard. Xu Meitang consciously stepped aside, her heart pounding with fear that Zhou Shuxuan might notice her.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Hearing this, Chiji could no longer hold her composure and asked once more.
Mibei asked about Tang Tang, and Tang Tang did not know how to respond either, but after Mibei's hand pulled away, that intense sensation subsided.
