Chapter Twenty-Four: Your Company Is Quite Strict

"That's not necessarily true. Look at the clothes he's wearing—those are from Blue Flame," a delicately dressed girl remarked.

"What is Blue Flame?"

"Blue Flame is a niche boutique menswear brand in the country. It's not mainstream, but their clothing is all handmade, using premium fabrics, and renowned for ingenious design..."

If he could subdue Jiang Potian with one hand, did that mean Li Wei's strength was already on par with Grandfather's? Indeed, no one is arrogant for no reason. Li Wei clearly has the means to back up his arrogance. No wonder Grandfather recognized him at a glance and made an exception by inviting him into the Ye Family Martial Arts Hall.

This was Guanshan, on the banks of Mount Liang. At the foot of the mountain lay Shijie Village, and to the west stretched Mount Liang itself.

After bidding farewell to his two fellow disciples from Jingwu Sect, Li Wei piloted the helicopter and flew straight across the sea to Tokyo, Japan.

Wang Yuanyuan had always been frank and outspoken. Seeing Lin Su thwarted, she thought to herself, "Who do you think you are, daring to speak to our director this way? Truly a case of looking down on others."

"Grandpa, I already told you, Ya'er won't go with you. There's no need to bring it up again," Xu Miao interrupted Li Youcai anxiously. At this moment, she was truly afraid. The looks from the women of the Lü, Jiang, and Feng families left no doubt—they intended to send Ya'er away.

In no time, water was prepared in the side room, and Xu Miao bathed ceremoniously. The ancients had many customs; when visiting a prominent household, one must cleanse oneself, carrying no trace of impurity.

"Exactly. In this weather, it's already lucky for the slaves to make it home alive—if they don't freeze to death or fall ill, that's fortune enough. These two merely departed first. Once this road is finished, several more of the frail ones will likely die too," the drivers remarked with a trace of sympathy for the slaves.

However, Li Jia knew there was another reason: a voice deep inside told him that maybe he would meet that figure here. Since none of the villages around Florro Town yielded results, the greatest possibility was within the Viscount's territory.

The supply chain of an automobile manufacturer spans numerous industries, and its revival can invigorate many related factories. This kind of fundamental aid is exactly what Europe truly needs.

Her hand was seized, and Qiu Jiayi couldn't move, so she turned her head to glance at him. Sheng Lingyao merely loosened his grip slightly but didn't let go completely.

"You spent so much time and effort just to confirm the alliance, and now, barely half a day later, the alliance is on the verge of annihilation. Why bother?" Fang Wudao sneered, making Duan Zhongyu's expression turn cold and his gaze fix intently upon him.

The slightly hoarse voice was the result of prolonged combat. Yao Yue had no time to worry about appearances and walked toward the spot where Mu Yunlan had stopped.

Empress Dowager Pei's eyelid twitched; she wished she could smash something and curse. Why had no one reported this matter to her two days ago? Yue Chi had followed Xia Jichen through countless campaigns—a young major general, but skilled in both martial arts and strategy, absolutely capable of suppressing Zhuo Yi. What chance did she have left?

"I can never repay the favor of saving my life. I have troubled you long enough. I take my leave. Should you ever need anything, just send word to Yuansheng Temple," Jiang An said, cupping his hands in hurried farewell to the person before him.

More than a month ago, Chu Qian had already arrived in Qingcheng, but found no information at all. Even the man who had delivered the letter had disappeared after three days of volunteering as a physician in Qingcheng. The only thing Chu Qian had learned was that the man's surname was Baili.

Li Junyan's heart was heavy with sorrow, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of relief—as if he had finally been unburdened and set free.

Perhaps, if she truly meant to kill him, he might even have told her, for he was not eager to die.
