Chapter 24

Voldemort, who at least possessed a shred of intellect, fell into a heavy silence, while the students below the podium stood stunned by Lincoln’s theories.

Sang Yu, distracted by the commotion around him, wore a grave and anxious expression as he shouted at the crowd.

Xie Qilin had clearly remained dissatisfied with Zhan Mei’s previous underhanded victory, but once she laid it out so bluntly, he found it difficult to press the issue.

The pulse energy bomb—a device with top-tier explosive power that simultaneously releases a potent pulse wave to disrupt nearby electronic signals—was bound to draw attention.

Sang Yu froze. The words spoken by Sang Dagang flooded his memory, stirring a complex swirl of emotions, and he remained motionless for a moment.

"Ivanka, you look enchanting today!" Gao Kui gazed at Ivanka, who stood nearly as tall as he was, and complimented her while admiring those captivating eyes.

Tang Xuerou, however, remained chillingly aloof. She appeared thoroughly untouchable. Her gaze swept over the shareholders before her, accompanied by a sneer that ignited anger in their hearts, yet left them utterly helpless against her.

"Something like that. Cabbage is cheap most of the time, and my sister and I aren't particularly fond of it!" Gao Kui glanced over, satisfying her curiosity.

Seryu stared at Lin Feng in disbelief, her mouth opening to let out a furious roar, yet no sound escaped.

"Next, we go to that shop!" Aria commanded her guards excitedly as they navigated the commercial street.

With Lucius fully committed to currying favor with Aiqi, Aiqi’s two disciples and their associates became the targets of the second round of recruitment.

He did not know if this footage would be made public, but if it were, netizens would surely track down the original photos. The scandal of Tian Guo and his best friend’s wife cheating on their respective spouses could hardly be kept under wraps. By then, the audience's focus would be on this scandal rather than forensic psychology.

With an ice-cold beauty slung over his shoulder, Jiang Xing did not stop until they reached the outskirts. The night was tranquil, and when a soft moan from Xia Bingxin reached his ears, he promptly struck her unconscious again.

She still could not fathom why Cheng Song trusted her. After all, she had brought him such ruin.

"Since you know the rebel army is in Ilinim and you are aware of my identity, you should realize that I am no longer with the rebels."

"Liu Yu, Gu He, come with me. Do not disturb Brother Jing Yuan while he communicates with the Ritual Spirit." Upon hearing that he was to communicate with the Tieyuan Tree Ritual Spirit, Tie Xu immediately stood up, beckoned Liu Yu and Gu He, and led them out of the Tieyuan Palace. They moved three hundred meters away, and Tie Xu ordered every member of the tribe to keep their distance from the palace.

Those who supported him continued to do so, while those who opposed him remained steadfast in their opposition, boycotting and mocking him.

The Watcher units were at a significant disadvantage during this process; despite their superior agility, their small numbers offered no tactical edge against the vast horde of demons.

"First, let us start with Kaelin..." Lin Wei channeled his mental energy and wizard power into one of the transparent spheres.

Thus, the power of the Golden Crow’s remnant soul would likely remain with Long Chen, much like an innate ability such as a Dragon Soul transformation.

Hearing the shouts, the bearded captain hurriedly lowered his binoculars, his expression turning to one of alarm as he witnessed the chaos behind him.

The price was quite fair. Even though grain had risen to five or six taels of silver per stone, the cost of steel armor had not decreased despite Chu He’s mass production; in fact, it had become increasingly expensive.

After a while, he seemed to have business elsewhere. He checked his phone, set down his half-finished glass, and departed. His retreating figure seemed hurried, and he even forgot his lighter.

In truth, those who rise to power are rarely gentle souls. Especially in this world where might makes right, if one lacks cunning, they would be devoured until not even the scraps remained.

"She looks like her... she really looks like Sister Qingyin. Could it be that she is actually related to my mother? If that were true..." Yang Tianlei thought back to the moment he had inhaled the toxic fumes with Lu Qinyin, and his heart fell into a state of turmoil.

Lin Wei, drawing upon his experience with concealment from the Wizard World, kept himself well-hidden. The others, failing to notice the presence of the seven-star mortal bloodline, remained oblivious to him.

As soon as the final ancient character was obtained by Xiao Yi, the cyan scales turned to stone. A breeze blew, and they crumbled into dust.

Of course, the most important matter for Long Chen now was the Battlefield of the Gods—the shocking secrets hidden in the long river of history—and fulfilling the promise he made to his father. He was making his true push to fulfill his father’s dying wish.

Night had fallen. In the dim light, with no one else around, the sudden sound of a sigh made Qiao Ranran’s skin crawl.

In her panic, she didn't notice that Ranran’s voice was full of strength, clearly indicating she hadn't suffered any serious injuries.

Then Bai Hehe hung up the phone. Two minutes later, I received an MMS message from her. In the picture, Tong Yuetian and Zhang Luo were sitting face-to-face. A brilliant smile was plastered on Zhang Luo’s face.

Hahaha, she wanted to laugh. She wondered if it would happen—it might. The girl might regret going to pay her respects to the Princess and the Fourth Master.

Early the next morning, Lin Jiangluo honored her word from the previous day, boarded a sedan chair, left the palace gates, and headed toward the Yun residence.

He Er suspected that Qi Tianzhan was doing this on purpose. Otherwise, why would he suddenly send so many gifts shortly after returning to the capital? And he had even sent them via the steward, Uncle Shun.

Jiang Ming'an narrowed his eyes, watching as Lu Xiangsi tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and beamed a radiant smile at Fu Huai'an. A nameless fire grew ever hotter in his chest.

Not until the arrival of the intelligence officers did Yelu Dashi feel that the hope for restoring the kingdom had emerged, which was why he had sent men to reach out.

Whenever this topic came up, Jiang Kexin’s face would glow with happiness. No matter the time, even during the period when her symptoms were at their worst, she felt a sense of bliss in her heart. So, as she listened to Tan Yu talk about the child, she smiled as radiantly as a flower in the spring breeze.

"That’s fine! As long as it can be corrected in time, then everything is still salvageable. Since there are no more issues on Zidai’s end, we shall proceed as planned tomorrow." Lin Xuan had just finished speaking when a series of knocks sounded at the door.
