Chapter Eighty-Four: Wit

Lu Yalan was overjoyed. With a gentle struggle, she managed to slip free from the man’s embrace. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and, before the door could be opened from the outside, she opened it herself, all the while casting a subtle glance behind her. The room was completely empty, showing no sign that anyone else had ever been there.

The waiter, seeing the door suddenly open with no response from within, calmly pocketed the key while swiftly scanning the interior. “Miss, you...”

Before he could finish, Lu Yalan cut him off and spoke first, “I’m sorry, I was just in the bathroom. When I came out, I found someone trying to break into my room. Would you care to explain?”

Your room?

The waiter’s face flushed red in an instant—half from embarrassment at being stared at by Lu Yalan, and half because she was so...

“So, if we didn’t manage to capture Articuno this time, isn’t that quite a loss for us?” Team Rocket had a knack for accomplishing things that harmed others without benefiting themselves. Apollo would never miss a chance to undermine the other executives.

“I give up! See for yourself!” Watching the other party’s absentminded attitude, Koga felt deeply wounded; all his flirtatious glances were thrown away on the blind. The thought of even compensating him a little vanished without a trace.

If this were ancient times, I would have to kill him. Otherwise, if he used the face I cherished most to do something detestable, wouldn’t that sully the image of my beloved in my heart?

Still, this trick is really childlike. Considering how old both of them are, who would have thought they’d have such a youthful spirit?

Wu Shengsheng was in poor spirits at that moment, feeling chills all over. This wasn’t the first time she’d experienced this lately. Lying in bed, she didn’t even want to respond anymore.

Strangely enough, given Yun Tianhe’s talent, his father Yun Tianqing had never thought to teach him the Qionghua Sect’s core techniques.

“Try to choose in Kanto and Johto regions…” Lady Kikuko’s own influence was most reliable in these two areas. If she wished to select Pokémon across the entire map, the Ghost Kikuko family’s reach could extend to Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova, but that would be extremely troublesome.

“If you’re so worried, you can go with them—beg together if you like, or live off the wind for all I care. Just go.” After saying this, Lu Aiguo turned and went back into the courtyard.

To be honest, Wang Jingrun truly regretted it now. He hadn’t felt it a moment ago; on the contrary, he’d even felt a bit pleased. Although the North Street elevator apartment project wasn’t profitable, at least it had broken even. As long as it broke even, he could continue to hold his position as chairman of Huada Real Estate.

The surging torrent of rocks lost most of their force after being blocked by the village, finally coming to a halt—completely burying the village, but causing little damage beyond its borders.

With a thunderous roar, Liu Qingshan’s blade form shimmered. The force of the blade was more than double what it had been before. With a single thought, blade energy blossomed like a flower, surging like a tide as it swept toward the charging Night God.

To win a man’s heart, you must first win his stomach. That was why she devoted herself to learning. She hadn’t known how before, but she believed she would learn well. Zhao Wanyu had not held anything back in teaching her.

Using the teleportation array, he arrived at the Li Shui region and went directly to Lingyue Mountain. At the same time, he sent a message to Fei Wan.

Seeing so many top experts refuse interviews from reporters, An Liang couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

“Young Master Jun, Chairman Ning and I have discussed it. All matters today are yours to decide alone,” Dong Wuya said solemnly as he saw him return to his senses.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bearing the name of such a sect was simply too great a pressure.

Now that the location of the Demon Dragon Stone had been determined, Luo Chen couldn’t just give up because of the blind spot in that area. Besides, nothing ventured, nothing gained—and Luo Chen was never one to play it safe, always preferring the path less traveled.

Especially when compared to developed Western countries, the gap was not just minor, but a huge chasm.

Pereirot also remembered he was the client of the great detective Simon, having hired him to investigate the murder of a Hunter’s Guild member in Hamel Village.
