Chapter 45

When we stepped outside, the police had just arrived. It was no wonder they were slow; after all, the station was some distance away.

I had heard that Liu Jiaming was handsome and, due to his steady approach to work, was deeply trusted by Liu Jiancheng. Everyone knew that the family estate would eventually be passed down to Liu Jiaming. Unexpectedly, his fate was truly tragic—he was harmed in such a way.

After my angry words slipped out recklessly, Lin Rongshen’s expression grew increasingly menacing. He gripped my arm with growing strength, the pain sharp enough to make me scream. I tried to push him away, but he dragged me forward roughly.

Bao Jia also lifted her gaze at me. I couldn’t tell whether her look was one of disregard or provocation.

Looking down, the back of my hand where I had been struck was now completely red and swollen, the entire hand throbbing painfully.

I recalled long ago when my uncle promised to take my cousin to Hong Kong Disneyland during summer vacation, on the condition that he passed grade eight in piano.

The soldiers, seeing the situation, fearing he might escape, all rushed forward as well.

At that moment, I let out a quiet sigh, shaking off the ruffled fur that the sisters had messed up. But then a loud rumble echoed from my stomach.

“Who’s who? Is that the handsome policeman?” Once the tension eased, Qu Xiaoxiao’s laughter grew more exaggerated, her tone unusually odd.

He suddenly realized that being siblings, Tie Rou’s stubbornness was shared by Tie Yun Chao and Tie Xing Feng as well. Once they set their minds on something, they would overcome any obstacle to achieve it.

So when Lin Chong banished Xuan Peng and Wei Yingwu from the external universe, the anomaly they detected was the heavy yet liberating feeling of the soul’s return.

At this moment, Ye Xiaofeng carried the title "World’s Best Boxer," so Ye Xiaofeng also believed that unless plagued by inner demons leading to collapse, there was no reason to lose this match.

The other party kept appealing based on their past friendship, and feeling it necessary to clarify things, he eventually agreed.

After a day passed, Chen Yuan did not seek Zhao Xiran, leaving the latter uncertain and restless.

Judging from those words alone, Barry might suspect Dr. Wayne of having some secret romantic affair.

However, most people came merely to watch the drama unfold. The Song family scandal was widely known—people are just like that: when you’re doing well, they cling to you like you’re their ancestor; when you fall, a single careless word can stab you to death.

Thinking about collecting money before the match even began—was that greed driving them mad? Or just overblown arrogance?

The Wu brothers were also to blame. If not for them, I would still be living well. Now I had provoked the crown prince, and I was counted among his adversaries.

This thought stemmed simply from his discomfort with how slow information spread in this outdated era.

The world’s most important and Europe’s largest economic center, the City of London lies on the plains of southeastern England, spanning the Thames River.

Crack! His bones shifted, emitting a series of crisp snaps. The surging golden aura swept over all his wounds, golden light flashing as it continuously mended them.

Hearing Cao Guohao’s threat, Su You cast a cold glance at him lying on the ground. Though still in pain, Cao Guohao had begun to recover from the earlier intense agony, gradually adapting and becoming able to endure it.

Then, recalling Han Zhen’s earlier comment that Su You’s master was Old Ji, Li Haidong let out a relieved breath. Fortunately, he wasn’t self-taught; that would have been too extraordinary.

Several madams went shopping, and naturally, Jia Xu did not want to guard too closely; instead, he trailed them at a distance with four guards.

It wasn’t long before Li Haidong returned, accompanied by a young staff member.

“Young Master Dongfang, please come in.” Amid his thoughts, Dongfang Bai heard that clear voice drifting from within the Absolute Palace.

“No matter what you say, I still think you’re a scoundrel, untrustworthy,” Chang Kong Wuji said, tilting his head with unwavering resolve.

Heizi was helpless at Yeling’s boldness. Yeling’s behavior showed no ulterior motive, and Heizi dared not speculate on her true intentions.

Seeing Su You finally decipher the green ingredient at the last moment, Han Zhen beside him couldn’t help but relax.

At night, inside Canaan Academy’s inner courtyard, students on collection missions heard the agonizing screams of various magical beasts at midnight, evoking tears and sorrow among listeners.

There had been previous midnight attempts to exchange for Qi-nourishing pills. Could the enhanced version be so delicious?

Since the news broke, within just over twenty breaths, countless versions had emerged, enough to dazzle and confuse.

Nothing to say—blisters on one’s feet are the consequence of one’s own journey, so one must bear all the consequences.

Although the ancient world had already been projected outward, the Void Realm had not fully vanished. He could still occasionally travel through it, but due to its intermittent nature, the efficiency was thousands or even billions of times slower than before.

Li Qiuxian nodded. He had learned from Mu Jin, the Martial Saint, that the Silvermoon King’s faction had a way to induce the Water of Life. Judging from the three lucky Purple Spirit Liquids he had obtained, it seemed their method was related to these liquids.

Jack’s ivory, entwined with Armament Haki, hard enough to shatter golden walls instantly, cracked into countless fragments, but Whitebeard’s blade showed no sign of stopping. The naginata’s edge ruthlessly descended, striking directly on the opponent’s massive elephant leg.

Alien abduction was originally an absurd notion, but after the five detailed their accounts, the police were somewhat convinced, especially since the details matched perfectly during interrogation.

With outstanding talent and relatively good genes, the dilution of the next generation’s bloodline could be minimized as much as possible.

Only upon reaching the level of Realm Lord did Kuang San truly feel the primordial universe’s consciousness favored Realm Lords, significantly accelerating his comprehension of the fundamental laws! Kuang San even contemplated interfering with other fundamental laws.

Looking around at the pitch-black surroundings, except for the slightly brighter spot where we stood, everywhere else was pitch dark. Raising my head, I saw only the faint twinkling of a few distant stars—nothing else.
