Chapter 30: All for Nothing?

"Uh..."
Phil furrowed his brow ever so slightly, his lips trembling gently.
"Phil, say something, won't you? Everyone is waiting for you."
"You were the president, after all. This is not the moment to remain silent."
...
Although Zhusa now appeared as a white ape, his mind remained exceptionally clear. Seeing Wu Murong undergo such a drastic transformation, he was suddenly shaken to the core.
An old man, who looked no less than eighty, upon hearing Nie Wei's identity, immediately spoke with warmth.
"If the captain wants something from me, just say the word. There is nothing I won't do!" Wang Erniu said.
"I know my mother wronged you, and she was indirectly killed by you. You’ve already taken your anger out on me, and I also saved your life."
Chen Jiancong himself was dumbfounded. Although many had used the Life-Growing Pill before, he had never seen such immediate and dramatic effects, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Bored out of his mind, Zhusa released the spiritual awareness he had been suppressing, and began to observe and scrutinize the various areas downstairs.
"What have we fallen into? Speak!" Hong Wan'an suddenly felt a chill inside, as if he had already realized something. Yet, to avoid affecting the morale of his troops, he kept his expression stern and unwavering.
This caused many lords to hold back their plans, afraid to act rashly. If another mishap happened, it would basically be sending lambs to the slaughter, yielding little result.
"Bruce, some time ago Phil came to us saying that a great battle was imminent. I didn’t believe it then, and now the flames of war are right at our doorstep. It’s all our fault for being too careless. If we had taken precautions earlier, Grand Priest Phil wouldn’t have fallen victim to the dark sorcerer." After a brief silence, Grand Priest Bell was the first to speak.
In the past, her mischief only went as far as digging a few pits to prank the chubby boy from the orphanage who always bullied her—and that was only because he was always picking on her.
At this point, Yi Qiong's expression darkened. He sat on the ground with a long sigh and, face grim, began to smoke.
This trip to the capital was not only to fulfill his grandfather’s last wish, but also to uncover why his grandfather left the bustling city for the countryside, living out his later years in obscurity.
However, the Gars gang exuded an odd and unnatural aura from beginning to end. Adding one more strange detail didn't make much difference. Besides, their hospitality was indeed satisfying.
Chen Guosheng cried out in alarm, and upon seeing everyone else was stunned, he realized that after just half a day and not even having traveled far, they had already encountered such misfortune.
"But you later discovered something amiss, didn't you?" Qing Luo said, frowning.
Judging from Emperor Jiayou’s way of addressing Mu Jin just now, he clearly approved of the marriage, and his tone towards Mu Jin was affectionate.
Lance, who had already become one of the outstanding Third-Tier Mages at forty, felt his soul crushed to pieces in that moment. He had always known His Majesty was a legendary mage, but he had never imagined the gap between himself and a legendary mage could be so vast.
But we were not afraid. We hurried down the mountain to retrieve a box of magical tools from Song Yufei’s home, then rushed back up the mountain to deliver them to Bai Wei. When we arrived at Old Wang’s orchard, Bai Wei and the others had already set up the ritual altar in the clearing, with all offerings properly arranged.
The two policemen exchanged glances, both visibly excited. It was no joke—official members of Azure Dragon! That was the top-ranked special operations team in the country, known as the ace of all special forces. Never did they imagine that one day they would get to interact with members of Azure Dragon; it was an honor beyond compare.
If something really happened to Sun Ruolin, as long as the servants kept their mouths shut, no rumors would spread.
