Chapter 54: The Cub is in Trouble

With their minds occupied by their own agendas, the atmosphere in the living room appeared superficially harmonious, but beneath the surface, undercurrents surged, filled with a taut tension of mutual probing.

This time, Jialoc's probing felt much more subtle and effortless. It lacked the stiff interrogation of their previous encounters, resembling instead casual, friendly chit-chat.

He did not directly press for details already recorded in the files, nor did he touch upon the grand narrative of her "revenge" plan; instead, he steered the conversation toward extremely trivial, everyday matters.

Su Zhijun naturally followed my instructions obediently, opening the parcel to reveal a card case. The moment she opened the case and cast a single glance inside, she froze in place.

Guo Qing stripped off Lu Shixia's soaked garments, dried his body, helped him into clean underclothes, and eased him onto the bed to lie quietly.

Yet this was also a place he had to protect; this was his home. Having slept here meant he had declared this as the domain he must defend. No matter what happened, this would always be his stronghold, and he would never leave it.

Han Lianyi lived in constant fear that Han Ziye might fly into a sudden rage again one day, and in that event, the one who would suffer would be Lianshuo.

Caught entirely off guard, Jade Qilin had no way to evade Lord Feng's strike. The moment the fist slammed into his back, Jade Qilin was simply too late to dodge.

As her belly grew day by day, apart from a slight soreness in her lower back, Han Lianyi experienced no other special discomfort.

"Not necessarily without cause. Just like the matter with the furniture factory, there are rumors, but no evidence," Chen Zifang said.

At that time, I did not know that the person he was calling out for was not me, but the "elder sister" who had always stood enshrined in the deepest recesses of his heart. Even later, no matter how hard I tried, I could never replace his "sister" in his heart.

"Are you aware of the Supreme Martial Arts Tournament a month from now?" Withered Snow asked with a solemn expression, shedding her previous coquettish demeanor.

Had it not been for Gao Bixi, his true mother would not have died! Now holding the reins of Four Seas Corporation, he had firmly grasped the Ye family in his palm, and all he was waiting for now was to slowly close the net, step by step.

They could only watch helplessly as the target they had awaited for so long vanished from before their eyes once more, with no way of knowing when he might appear again.

Recalling how he had once boasted before his subordinates that he trusted only his own fists, Andreaslav genuinely wanted to go back in time and slap some sense into himself, then hurl a great hammer or a giant axe at his former self.

Shortly thereafter, Qin Yang slowly pushed open the heavy doors, and then beheld a tall, broad back.

"Roar!" The dragon's roar shook the mountains and forests. Under the shroud of an overwhelming bloodline pressure, a wave of magical beasts hurriedly dropped to their knees in submission.

The moment the words fell, two guards surrounded Fenglin. Drawing their long sabers from their scabbards, they slashed fiercely toward him.

Zhang Yue felt a flutter of anxiety in her chest, as this was Yun Qihan's first visit to Aaror since her divorce from Yun Zhouming, as well as their first official meeting.

Following that incident at the bar, Zhang Zhilin had developed a lingering interest in Zixin, and had therefore quietly had someone investigate her thoroughly.

It could be confirmed that this object was the so-called Dark Star; it appeared small, but its density had reached the absolute limit.

Li Tianyang offered a brief explanation before raising his right hand. The fire phoenix instantly transformed back into a jade flute, falling neatly into his palm.

At this moment, she had already halted the black phoenix's flight. Cruel Snake kept the black phoenix suspended mid-air, while she gradually opened her eyes, emerging slowly from her bloodthirsty intoxication.

Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned. Glancing at Song Daolin, Song Xiyue, and the others, and finding no trace of displeasure upon their faces, he let out a soft sigh of relief.

First of all, Guan Yutian's Supreme Alliance had actually been usurped by the Sea Shark Palace, and Guan Yutian himself had been killed by Helian Ba, the master of the Sea Shark Palace.

With a single lift of his hand, he clamped down on Wang Hu's wrist. Wang Hu instantly felt as though his wrist had been gripped by a pair of iron pliers, and the immense force paralyzed his left arm completely, robbing it of all strength in an instant.
