Chapter 63

Along the way, Chen Zhi couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly, and by the time he returned to his cave residence, his face was clouded with gloom. These so-called ninja appeared eerily elusive, but aside from that, their skills were not particularly formidable. In terms of martial prowess alone, they might not even surpass the elite members of the Sky Squad. However, when their abilities were paired with such frightening stealth, the situation became entirely different.

By connecting to the Mitsui House’s network system, Du Cheng had all but taken control of its entire surveillance infrastructure.

It was not until the auction for Zhang Daqian’s “Flower” painting began that both of them sat up, fully alert and focused.

Emotions of surprise, trepidation, even fear, were instantly swept away by a tidal wave of excitement—the hesitant players just now began roaring as they charged into the second round! Behind them, fresh recruits newly gathered from every corner of the city followed in their wake.

When these two men appeared, few among the gathered powerhouses recognized their identities; their eyes betrayed only unfamiliarity.

In the face of my wrath, for the sake of the family’s peace, Gamo Sadahide had no choice but to steel himself for death. Gamo Fushide understood this well; though his grandfather was likely to be killed before his eyes, he could only watch in sorrow, making no attempt to interfere.

Yet, on the very day I took up residence in Sadowara Castle, Hachiya Yorinaga, posted at the eastern edge of several neighboring counties, suffered an unexpected defeat.

During this time, Tan Minyi excused herself to cook and invited them to stay for dinner. Shen Yingxue politely declined; after all, she had managed with much effort to convince Song Yi to dine at her home that evening.

Ur Zappapa’s expedition against Mari stirred concern among the many Semitic states in the Akkad region.

The link with Yoshino was forged unconsciously, while Miku, whom she’d known longest, couldn’t succeed even with her consent. Thus, she couldn’t guarantee a swift resolution with Yuxuan and Yequya.

“How nice,” Xia Shiguang suddenly felt on the verge of tears, though she couldn’t say why. Perhaps it was just the thought of Gu Chen’s years of solitude—though surrounded by people who loved him, none had ever truly reached his heart.

Chen Hao only smiled quietly. By the time a stick of incense had burned down, the three children’s souls had stabilized, no longer as ethereal as before.

Though the situation could change in an instant and the preparations might not be needed, it was still better to be ready than not.

In the Yin Moon Mountains, wondrous flowers and rare fruits grew everywhere, each guarded by strange and extraordinary creatures, making it difficult for ordinary folk to approach.

Sergei spoke the language of the Northern Bear Kingdom, and coupled with their distinctive features, it was obvious they hailed from that land.

Yun Feng noticed that these past days, Zhan Hongying no longer frowned at the mention of Huo Qianying; she could sense her mood shifting.

Qin Yang, too, felt a complex mix of emotions. Was his opponent truly Haman?

Nangong Hao could only accept with a face full of grievance. He had hoped to use this shop to display his business acumen, but didn’t expect it to be such a tasteless establishment. Unfortunately, Luo Luo was pestering Bai Ling’er for treats, so no one could dissuade Li Mo.

The match began; Kaisa acted as captain on the field. After choosing sides with Riquelme, he led his team through the handshake ritual.

“Excellent! Fox, take him down!” Although the reinforcement wasn’t Leng Ningxue but the scatterbrained Fox, Su Mubai saw hope and couldn’t help but shout.

Lin Xuan, without hesitation, hurled another white bead, while Taowu came over to help as well. The summoning of two overlords of the Heavenly Lord rank instantly made the scene lively.

As the three conversed, footsteps drew near. Su Mubai had already overheard their exchange in detail, and startled, was about to slip away when he suddenly noticed Leng Ningxue in white standing silently behind him, giving him quite a fright.

Suddenly, in the midst of gloom and misery, thirteen agile Drilling Eagles circled nimbly, encircling Suktisin and his mount, spinning ceaselessly.

To show the children that light has its counterpart in darkness, once a month someone would take them to the black rocks outside the cave to witness the bottomless chasm’s abyssal darkness. Yet, Gu Youran was never chosen for this task.

Sun Fengzhao walked out onto the sea, standing atop the water as if weightless. In that moment, he resembled a reclusive master or even an immortal descended to the mortal realm. Indeed, few in the world could match his transcendent level.

The young noble leading the group looked displeased. He turned, wishing to see who dared utter such audacious words in the heart of the Yunlong Empire.

Wang Junyang nodded, cradling his Type 95 assault rifle as he crouched rightward, while Lin Ge mirrored him, stealthily advancing toward the Qingshan’s cockpit.

At this moment, Qin Wu urgently needed hospital treatment; any delay would endanger both her life and that of her unborn child.

No one knew where Leng Qianmu was now. The cosmic jungle was vast beyond measure, and the Pool of a Hundred Birds was hardly a welcoming place—few would dare venture there recklessly. Besides, Kang Mang’ang’s divine domain blanketed the area; for Leng Qianmu to approach undetected was pure fantasy.

These people hailed from the great clans of Shu or were leaders among the Hu nomads, with wealth, grain, and manpower in abundance.

After I left, the homeroom teacher patted her flushed cheeks, seething with both embarrassment and anger, muttering through gritted teeth, “That scoundrel actually dared tease me!” Yet every time she remembered me calling her beautiful and sexy, her heart couldn’t help but race.

Victory in this contest wasn’t solely about eliminating opponents and seizing flags. Rather, capturing the opponent’s flag and taking the bell would earn both the student and their team extra credit.
