Volume 1, Chapter 24: My Master

Ling Li was astonished by a speed that seemed excessively, almost god-defyingly, fast. Even as a vampire, he had to exert every ounce of effort—what kind of creature was this, exactly?

Following the President’s request for counsel from the three of them, Liang Shiyi personally visited the next day. He spoke of the President’s predicament and the placement of Li Zhiyuan, but the subtext throughout was singular: he urged the Secretary of State to voluntarily resign and yield his position, which would at least allow him to retain the reputation of a "virtuous statesman."

This was a grayish-black pangolin, an unremarkable animal in any world. Because it lived primarily underground, the creature remained incredibly low-key.

Roger fell silent for a moment, then pulled out his canteen and unscrewed the cap, gulping down water as if he were extremely nervous.

"Well, well. The primary stage of shared prosperity and happiness will certainly be realized by the Red and White, but no one said it would be now," Red and White said.

I’m sweating—I hope everyone understands. Li Zicheng is a normal man, after all, and having suppressed his desires for so long… well, never mind, no need to explain. In any case, if others can have a Kaoru Ooya, then let Li Zicheng… anyway, we’ll discuss this later. It’s for the plot, the plot requires it.

When these words landed, Zhao Xuan was left speechless, caught between laughter and tears as he looked at Zhang Jiuyun. He had come to welcome Wang Hui and offer his congratulations, so how did things get so completely derailed?

The strength of an intelligence agency determines the technological advancement of a nation. In this regard, the equipment used by the Alliance’s agents is the most mysterious and powerful in the world; their lives, in certain respects, are like those of agents in the movies, full of high-tech flair.

The bunker was permeated with the heavy scent of gunpowder and blood. Everywhere lay the mangled, bloody corpses of Soviet soldiers. Captain Liu Hanliang noticed that many of the bodies had been torn clean in two, as if someone had grabbed them by the legs and ripped them apart from the middle, which filled him with dread.

"Don't be like that, why look at me with such hostile eyes?" Kanbaru Suruga laughed, seemingly unaccustomed to Li Wei’s gaze.

However, since the inception of the Collatz conjecture, it was not that no one had thought of using partial differential equations, but they all invariably encountered the same obstacle.

Yet, despite being a spectral form, his phantom image was not entirely transparent; at the very least, his outward appearance was not much different from a physical entity.

The problem was, he didn't even know what project Professor Luo was working on, so he naturally wouldn't rashly agree. He gave Kong Jiyuan a meaningful look.

He wanted to say more, but seeing several high-level chaos beasts approaching with expectant gazes, he forced himself to hold back.

Besides, there were plenty of security companies in Hong Kong. TNS Security, from Britain, was even planning to hold a jewelry exhibition at the Grand Hyatt Hotel to showcase their latest security system.

"We found their behavior and attire highly suspicious, so per your orders, we treated them as lunatics and brought them in."

She stared at the text message for a long time, her finger hovering over the delete key, hesitating, but ultimately unable to press it.

"Right!" Just then, President Li suddenly said, "I hadn't intended to tell you now, fearing you’d be under too much pressure, but I thought about it—you are, after all, the person involved."

"Lu Ban, do you remember the surrounding environment and scene when the Void Locust Spider and that Flame Demon Seed appeared?" Su Li asked.

"Then how much is needed to upgrade?" This was the key. If there wasn't enough here, Mo Qingkuang's plan would be thrown into disarray.

Shock etched across his eyes; this was no joke. It seemed that while he was lost in thought, the grade of the Body-Cleansing Grass had undergone a qualitative improvement alongside Mo Qingkuang's cultivation.

Once the discharge pipe was found, one could follow it to the research institute. As long as they reached it before dark and made a distress call, they could wait for rescue.

This was the first sentence you heard upon arriving in this world. Would you be puzzled as to why? You were so well-behaved, you had only just arrived in this world, so how could someone already hate you?

Afterward, my sister, my brother, and I watched TV in our uncle’s room while the adults were busy. My brother took out the things he had brought from home for me to eat. My sister gave me the drawings she had made at school. Yet, I had nothing to give them in return.

As I was thinking this, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. When I turned around, I saw him coming in carrying a watermelon.

"What on earth is happening? Why can't we see what's going on inside?" The crowd outside the arena began to speculate, anxiously questioning the gray-robed elder beside them, only to find that the elders present were equally bewildered, wearing expressions of total confusion.

The Phoenix Blood-Splattering Formation did not just surround Yun Shan; more importantly, it trapped Young Master Yicheng, whom the Mistress of the Lotus Palace had never expected to appear there at that moment.

Huai Yuanliang and Young Master Jiang had no interest in what the commoners were doing for entertainment; they cared only about their mutton, intending to eat as much as they could since they had paid for it themselves.

"Wait! Boss!" Cong Yi, seeing that the head of the West Manor family intended to finish him off, hurriedly tried to stall for time.

Fu Can quickly followed, his heart pounding with anxiety; the Taoist was truly too bold, having played everyone for fools.

Gradually, Li Tianyou’s body drifted closer to the edge of the vortex; he feared that if he didn't push himself into it, he would be swept in anyway.

As night fell and the cold evening wind blew, under the pale, cold moon, he noticed that her cheeks had sunken slightly.

For a moment, countless complex emotions surged through Al’s heart. Fortunately, when he snuck a glance at Qianzi, he discovered that her shock was no less than his own.

After I left Yuyuantan, I drove straight to Lianhuachi Park. Of course, I parked the car far away and then snuck toward the east gate of the park.

The killer threw another knife at me, but I was prepared. When the blade flew toward me, I deflected it with the butterfly knife in my hand. The butterfly knife the beast gave me was incredibly powerful; its edge remained as sharp as ever, and I didn't know what material it was made of—perhaps it was meteoric iron from beyond the heavens.

"You're lying! He is my father! He is my father!" Hua Ruize roared in disbelief, but he was far too weak to pose any real threat.

The night before returning to the country, she stayed at Bai Xiaoxiao’s apartment as usual. Wen Jin, Qing Feng, and Qing Yang were staying at a hotel very close to the apartment, so there was no need to worry.
