Volume 1, Chapter 24: Recommending Attorney Xiao

"No way, right? If they report it, they’ve already taken the money. Would they really ruin their own chances?" Lin Zi dismissed the thought himself.

Barze saw this and felt no surprise; on the contrary, he was delighted. He had seen this look countless times before; it was the inevitable reaction of anyone smoking for the first time.

The problem was that Bai Yu’s martial arts were not poor. Killing her would be neither easy nor difficult, but if a fight broke out, Zong Xin could not possibly be unaware. If he were to witness Bai Yu dying right before his eyes, who knew how he might react?

Rajkovic ultimately failed to save the ball; Cristiano Ronaldo equalized in the 94th minute. From the 80th minute on, both sides had played as if possessed, scoring three goals.

The doctor finished speaking, and Qi Wuce felt a wave of distress. His research materials were insufficient. The Holy Grail he currently held was very likely different from the one in Chaldea, but he was unable to extract the information he needed from the Chaldean Grail. This was likely something his future self had calculated long ago.

"Exactly, exactly! Our young master has been holding back; as soon as he draws his sword, that tall fool will surely be defeated!" another Changling disciple chimed in.

The carriage slowly rolled into the city. Scathach only needed to show her face, and no soldier would dare to block their path.

Zhu Youlang had made up his mind. "It is settled. These fifty thousand troops are intended for my future Northern Expedition. No matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, we must assemble them."

"Haha..." Chen Bangyan threw his head back and laughed unrestrainedly. As he laughed, tears began to stream down his cheeks.

"Hahaha! Since your master has already booked rooms for us at the Fengxiang Inn and has now sent you to invite us, how could we possibly refuse?" Jing Yi replied with a bow and a hearty laugh.

Caught off guard, Amy stepped into a quagmire. As she tried to chase after Ayla, she realized she was trapped. While she could still move, her steps were labored, making it difficult to dodge Ayla’s incoming magic.

How could this be? My Gale and Malice Blade technique has long been perfected; I have never needed a second strike to eliminate a cultivator of the same rank.

"Yes, Grandmother." Shen Peiyao did not want to watch how her grandmother would deal with her father. Miao Ruolan walked up to Shen Cangyuan, waved her hand gently to store him in her spatial ring, and then turned to leave the restaurant with Zhan Zhao.

Furthermore, this Primordial Suit possessed the characteristics of the Primordial Egg, capable of devouring the spiritual energy of all things. It was indiscriminate, and even the spiritual consciousness entity of Immortal Monarch Qingyang was within its range of consumption.

Later on, even when going to the battlefield, Zhan Zhao kept him by his side and let him command operations alone several times. The results proved that Xuelin had far more talent for leading troops and was much better suited to the cruelty of modern warfare than Zhan Zhao.

"This... could you give me a... a..." Yezang found it hard to swallow his pride as a grown man buying a lollipop, even though he was no longer even a man now.

Du Zhenglin felt a stir in his heart. He had only seen this kind of pride in the eyes of Jin Zhentian during his prime, yet the young man before him was only twenty. Du Zhenglin hoped this youth could break the curse of blood poisoning and lead the Jin family back to its peak.

In fact, over a thousand years ago, this area belonged to the Yuanjue Great Forest, but due to tectonic movements, a subterranean fault occurred, causing several hundred square meters of forest floor to separate from the rest. The fault extended to the surface, forming a deep chasm more than ten feet wide.

Her own child was in exile, while her sister’s child enjoyed happiness at the center of the world. Of course, Zimuxiya felt sadness and jealousy at all of this. But his innate kindness made it impossible for him to harbor hatred.

The green-robed youth and his companions, who were about to take possession of the Giant Demon God, saw their expressions freeze, looking at Wang Yang in sheer disbelief.

Moreover, Cheng Yunhai’s mouth hung open, emitting a thick, putrid stench, as if his internal organs had already rotted away.

To be honest, Du Yu only knew that the Asura Blade belonged to the Ghost General, but he did not know what position the Ghost General held in the Underworld, nor did he know when the Asura Blade had been used.

Even an outsider like her could see it; how could Qin Tian, a businessman, have missed it? Liu Fei felt it was inconceivable.

However, the pressure from the three Golden Core masters was immense. If the first one was already in such a state enduring two pressures, what would happen with three? Therefore, Master Wudong did not know if he could hold on until the end.

After probing countless rays of white light, Wang Yang’s expression suddenly tightened. He pulled one ray of light toward him and focused his attention on it.

Beneath the infinitely glorious surface, a completely different scene was unfolding inside the red, floral-patterned bridal sedan.

Old Man Lin walked under the Iron Bagua and spread the talismans on the ground, arranging them into a formation. The Iron Bagua slowly descended, pressing into the center of the formation as if it were the eye of the array.

"Let’s go, sister, let’s go upstairs. Nanxi was just too angry, which is why she said that. Deep down, she just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart," Ming Yi said, then took Lin Nian’an upstairs.

But I never expected that even in my dreams, there would be Jiang Xiuting, like a chaotic war, infiltrating and permeating my sleep, leaving me breathless.

My heart gave a sudden jolt. That day, Zhong Qing told me they were going to Longevity Village; had they passed through here as well? Were they all right now?

"I’m done playing!" I tossed my phone onto the coffee table and grabbed an apple to munch on.

Damn it, those people were catching up again. Although they were still a distance away, it was only a matter of time before they caught me.

I sat on the floor and hugged my knees tightly, suddenly finding the autumn breeze bitingly cold. I couldn't stop the chill from seeping into my body, and I began to shiver uncontrollably.

"Cunning and fickle??? That is an instinctive reaction for self-preservation!" Jin Mingchang saw Bai Yang slowly approaching and took a few fearful steps back.

The He family members had followed along. Seeing me, they were both surprised and fearful, offering polite greetings before retreating.

But whenever those images flashed through her mind, her body would accompany that moment with a sensation of pain.

Even though it was broad daylight, she felt gusts of ghostly wind and, in her terror, turned on every light in the house.
