Chapter 144: Accepted a Ten-Month Investment from Jiang Shaobai

Jiang Family.

When Wen Ni got out of the car, her legs felt light as if floating.

Jiang Shaozhang encouraged her, "Come on, you’re giving up so soon? Weren’t you fierce when you confronted me before?"

Wen Ni replied with a meaningful smile, "It’s precisely because I confronted you that I don’t dare to face your family."

Jiang Shaozhang laughed, "But haven’t you already met my brother?"

Wen Ni said awkwardly, "There’s a difference between peers and elders."

Meanwhile, a eunuch beside the emperor reported, “Your Majesty, the men sent to Fenglei City to gather intelligence have returned. Shall we summon them now? It seems they have urgent matters to discuss.” The eunuch had just finished briefing Emperor Li Yuntian, who sat on the dragon throne.

Time slipped away as everyone pondered, and before long, it was the end of the heavenly tribulation. The razor-sharp wind blades, under the catalyst of special forces, gradually solidified into giant blades.

Even the strongest bones, as tough as iron, could not withstand the sharpness of the Heart-Piercing Sword. With a single sweep, a scar was left carved into the bone.

Then came the moment when Cardoc killed a soldier of the Vigia, one of Martas’s troops. After slaying that soldier, Cardoc felt some of his strength restored.

It was fortunate to have a friend like Chang Yuan nearby, providing comfort in moments of despair.

A man in a black robe, his face concealed by black cloth, now faced Mao Di and the other man directly.

With a ding, Pu Weishi stepped out of the exclusive elevator leading straight to the underground parking lot of the Pu Corporation.

To Catherine, it was essential to maintain good relations with this special assistant who was inseparable from David.

Michelle and Jason shared little sentiment. Since he could remember, Michelle had always been following Wu Zizhuo’s side. In her eyes, there was only that boy next door—when had she ever seen him as her brother?

Mao Di smiled, taking out a piece of dragon scale from his pocket and said to the elder, “This is the key to unlocking the Dragon Realm!” Then he tossed the dragon scale to the elder.

After giving instructions to the guards outside the bedroom, Xiao Qiang opened the door and entered. The room was a filthy storeroom cluttered with useless tools and debris. Kun Shan lay motionless on a makeshift steel-wire bed, still unconscious.

“Yes, boss, I know what to do.” The subordinate bowed, then retreated to make a phone call. Meanwhile, Xu Jian turned and walked into the gambling stone arena.

After absorbing the desert’s vital energy, the greatest benefit was awakening from slumber.

Her fate, like that of many ocean horses, was to have her essence drained by Li Dong, then discarded like trash in a storage room.

The question was: where was the limit of Han Yue’s power? No one knew. If Han Yue’s appetite grew beyond control and Xu Wei could no longer satisfy her, Han Yue might regain dominance. At that time, the ravenous, ferocious beast would rampage and prey once again, recreating the tragedy that befell Madam Xu a thousand years ago.

A chill swiftly rose from the soles of the feet, traveling up the spine and striking the nerves in the brain, as if a cold wind blew behind the ears.

One hundred and fifty million jin of dragon marrow—such a treasure was not something even a prestigious family like Jin Gangshan could casually part with.

The two elders encountered by Li Qiu and Li Dong looked different, but the furnishings inside the space were nearly identical.

Since Mr. Zhu, the owner of the processing plant, had no intention of giving Li Qiu any face, Li Qiu saw no reason to show him any respect and simply left him aside.

It turned out that the Ink Qilin’s release of its essence was not to enhance Lin Yi’s physical body to slay the Frost Giant Dragon in one fell swoop.

“I’m the one who caught you, so why should I leave? Are you feeling guilty like a thief?” Seeing He Jianrong’s brazen expression, Su Ye knew Zhang Yuming had come prepared this time. As for the evidence she mentioned, only she herself truly understood the truth of the matter.
