Chapter 53: A Miracle Appeared
This was also one of the reasons why Ji Sisi wanted to register the store under Lin Jinghua's name.
Having experienced the greed and shamelessness of the original body's parents firsthand, and read numerous descriptions of them in the book, she knew them well.
Even their biological daughter, Ji Manrou, was treated like worn-out shoes by Ji Lianguo and Zhu Jiahui after becoming a widow in her past life.
It was only after the reborn Ji Manrou became a wealthy lady and endlessly subsidized her maiden family that these two people began to favor the second daughter more than before.
At this moment, during the ignorant dawn of martial arts, many martial arts resources remained unutilized. Resources that would later be sold for astronomical prices were currently just a pile of worthless rocks, which no one would want even if given away for free.
Ever since he obtained the system, his integrity coins had never broken the two-thousand mark, which made it easy to imagine how anxious he felt right now.
Among all the arrested core members, the one named Zuo Qiang held the highest rank. According to Zuo Qiang's own confession, he had never seen the face of the Demon Hunting Society's leader; he only knew that the leader's surname was Bai, and everyone in the organization referred to him as Chairman Bai.
If it were his youth, Li Zhengdao would have killed Shu Xin without the slightest hesitation. But now, he no longer possessed the ruthlessness and unscrupulousness of his younger days. Sometimes, waking from midnight dreams, he would regret the things he had done in the past. In life, once you take a wrong step, there is sometimes no chance to turn back.
Eliminate the father-and-son pair of Kadi and Lawrence, then join forces with Mr. K to deal with Qin Yan and kill him. With these steps accomplished, the overall situation would be settled.
"Well, what's this? Are you her boyfriend?" The blonde youth asked with an unfriendly expression and a threatening tone.
The Grand Duke neither accepted nor rejected this suggestion, nor did he need to express his stance in front of Count Rockton.
Although they missed out on witnessing that epic battle, now that those two contestants had exited the stage, everyone's focus had shifted to the tournament favorite, the "Hell's Horn."
Luo Chuan looked somewhat helpless regarding this. Although selecting magical treasures in person was more appropriate, he and the Merit Hall simply did not get along. To avoid causing a greater disturbance, he had no choice but to settle for second best and ask Xie Changjing to run the errands for him.
Gu Xingbao's face turned gloomy. Suddenly turning around, she rushed out of the private box and bolted toward the hallway. She had suddenly realized what she had overlooked: the burly man, the one she had knocked unconscious in the hallway earlier, had mysteriously vanished.
Akiko Mihara took Megako by the hand, fed some loose change into the vending machine, and pressed the oolong tea button.
"It shouldn't be wrong!" Pei Min smiled with narrowed eyes, carrying a trace of complacency. Winning the favor of a beauty was indeed something worth taking pride in.
Lin Xuan looked at the people watching the battle on the cliffs on both sides, then gazed at the waterfall plunging down three thousand feet. Sweat broke out on his forehead. Could it be that this waterfall was the venue for their first match?
The house had already been built. Driven by money, the construction company worked overtime to rebuild their home—after all, it was not some towering skyscraper.
After One-Eyed Liu left, Liu Han emerged from behind the door and said, "You seem really formidable. I heard everything my dad said just now." With a look of admiration in her eyes, Liu Han handed a glass of water to Lin Tao.
Xun Tianxiong took two steps back, his face turning alternately pale and flushed, only then realizing he had uttered an extraordinary statement.
"Hehe, Master is not someone who refuses to listen to opinions, there's no need to apologize," Yang Siqi said indifferently.
Several ghost soldiers had already stepped forward to replace Black and White Impermanence, pinning Zhang Lei down and swinging their palms to deliver dozens of slaps back and forth.
"Then we are partners now." A sincere smile bloomed on the young man's face.
Yang Jin introduced himself this way because he wanted to be remembered by Qiao Shibashi. After all, Qiao Shibashi's reputation was quite high, and perhaps one day the two of them might cross paths. A businessman's creed was to leave many paths open and never cut off one's own retreat.
