Chapter 45: Sudden Change

At half past one in the afternoon, Yan Ming arrived at Shihao Mall well ahead of time. He sat in a cold-drink shop opposite the rest area on the fifth floor, discreetly watching what was happening outside.

At ten to two, Yang Yongli arrived. He was dressed casually and wore a baseball cap pulled low over his eyes, yet the scar across his face was still plainly visible at a glance, making him stand out among the crowd.

Yang Yongli took a seat at the edge of the rest area and glanced around uneasily.

Yan Ming watched the surroundings and the floors below, but saw no sign of Yang Yongfang or Yang Yonggui. He knew, however, that the two were certainly somewhere inside the mall; they were merely hiding in a place beyond his sight.

At five to two, just as Yan Ming was preparing to go to the restroom to change clothes, he received a call from Doctor Deng. He walked toward the restroom as he—

The Hurricane Prison, one of the Five-Prison Soul-Sealing Palms, was the most agile and its movements were extremely difficult to follow. The instant he landed, Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes, then roared and charged once more. He threw a punch, followed by a wild flurry of blows aimed at every part of the Black Python’s body.

When they reached the conference room in the office building, the police personnel and the school representatives sat in two separate rows on opposite sides of the long conference table.

Qin Feng stopped when he heard those words, gritting his teeth inwardly as he cursed, “Are you an idiot?” As he spoke, he spun around swiftly. Zhuang Hao was already enveloped in dark energy, his resentment soaring into the heavens. A fierce wind began to howl across the sky, and his body slowly floated into the air.

Naturally, I released Yuanyuan as well, but she decided to remain with Zhang Ping in the Infinite Hell.

Yu Qing had grown fond of the feeling at the Emperor Bar, because it was a proper, legitimate bar, unlike certain places that were filthy and unscrupulous, where people did all kinds of vile things.

“You mean Wu Xiang? Does His Lordship not know what Wu Xiang is capable of? If I had not persuaded him to leave, how many more people in the Marquis’s residence would have died? Do you really think the guards of the residence could have caught Wu Xiang?” Li Xiuyuan said.

“How did the wind suddenly rise out of nowhere?” Gu Sheng shielded his face with his sleeve and protected his young son, waiting only for the strange gale to pass.

One afternoon, I happened to start talking about life with Philosophy Beast. He was the technician who loved going to the Internet café to dominate the game.

Xiao Wei knew that although Zhao Kui spoke that way, he might not truly think so. That fellow, who was shrewder than a monkey once he had even a single hair on him, would never trust him easily.

Looking at the two of them, I felt inexplicably dejected. Could it be that what those two fellows had just said was true—that the two of them were dating?

“She is far cleverer than this vixen. She knows how to endure at the proper moment, and she is wary of whether I possess the ability to resist her.”

“The Master has issued no new orders.” At the mention of the Master, Number Five’s expression softened considerably, though the dagger remained in his hand.

“I can simply feel it. I have an innate affinity with animals and plants. I believe I told you that when we first met.” Jian replied irritably.

The other four masked men paced around them in pairs, sometimes even searching their bodies, but evidently they found nothing of value.

Shenwu’s patience had run out. He had thought he would draw out a more formidable opponent, but apparently this was all they had. It seemed that unless he killed this foreign warrior, the enemy would send no one else. The next instant, his body vanished from the spot.

“Fine, fine. You certainly have lofty ambitions. How did I never know our school had someone like you? Student Yu Chuxuan, I will remember you.” Contrary to Yu Chuxuan’s expectations, the leader did not erupt in fury on the spot. Instead, he merely said this.

Su Chen then went to Lin Ruoxue’s office to remind her not to forget the charity banquet that evening, only to discover that she was no longer free.

“I can give you one choice, but this will be your only chance. If you later regret your decision, I will not give you any opportunity to choose again.” At that moment, Hamorei spoke solemnly to Qiu Shang Jiayin.

Jian Dan did not particularly like wearing high heels. She wore ordinary canvas shoes instead. When she realized that the girl was pestering me, she deliberately extended her leg to tease Meizi. Unexpectedly, after only one teasing movement, Meizi glanced at me with an especially strange look.
