Chapter 54

That is what she said, but inwardly she thought: if those board members all force you to step down, not even Grandfather will be able to protect you then. The position of general manager will inevitably be mine, and once Grandfather passes away, the chairmanship will be mine as well.

Huan Feipeng had practiced cultivation for many years; with just a single glance at their actions, he understood what was going on. Yet, he did not care in the least; instead, he looked at Li Daochong with an intrigued expression.

Yet the very next second, everyone on the new island was utterly stunned. They could never have imagined such a turn of events. What was it that they had just heard?

Dr. Rowan actually approved of Lu Bu's various Eevee evolutions. The two of them could certainly stay up all night talking by candlelight, knee to knee.

This was a sniper's instinctive reaction. There were simply far too many weapons capable of threatening a sniper's life, and the most precise among them was always the enemy sniper.

However, not long after Zhao Huan went up, a spine-chilling roar suddenly echoed from afar—a sound completely unlike anything a human could possibly produce. Everyone involuntarily turned to look at Yujiro with doubtful expressions.

Yet if the jar you molded could no longer be restored by him, he would transform into something identical to that jar itself.

"Sister Hepburn, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye back then?" Lu Bu suddenly recalled this question, one that had been echoing continuously in his mind, tightly entangling him.

At these words, Shui Qingyuan came to an abrupt halt, locking his probing gaze firmly onto Luo Xingleng. Luo Xingleng, meanwhile, bowed slightly and remained silent, which was as good as an admission.

This Tenfold Soul Control was simply too powerful. Even without testing and examining the changes in his own strength and speed, Mo Song could clearly perceive that his physical power and speed had undergone a massive enhancement.

A direct disciple's betrayal had left an already fragile heritage tottering on the brink of collapse. Had Bai Tianxing not returned unexpectedly, the Wu Ding Temple might have completely ceased to exist.

This was precisely why he detested certain monsters; they always played the same old games with people's minds, using other people's scars as weapons. Did they really find that amusing?

The villa had finished renovations during this period, and only the furniture remained to be bought. He hadn't even gone to take a look yet, so now would be a good time to go check it out.

Therefore, Mo Song and Luo Ting walked through the desert as if nothing were the matter—for martial practitioners, the only threats posed by the desert were the intense heat, dryness, and dazzling sunlight.

Amidst the fierce combat, Yuliuming had been driven entirely into a passive defensive state, forced to rely on the longsword in his hand to barely parry Guyue's thrusting iron halberd time and time again. Guyue, meanwhile, capitalized on the dual advantages of agility and speed possessed by the warhorse beneath him, executing skilled horsemanship as he circled around Yuliuming to launch continuous charges and strikes.

At first, Li Ming had been startled, almost suspecting that the other party was plotting against his family estate. But in an instant, he reasoned that if the person truly harbored such intentions, they certainly wouldn't have stated it so bluntly; they would have concealed it deeply.

The Manticore, a predator lurking in the shadows, was just like an assassin waiting for a flaw to deliver a fatal strike. If the strike failed, it would retreat and wait for another favorable opportunity.

The unconventional approach taken by the French upon discovering the Mississippi River was, on the one hand, due to the fact that their colonial focus lay in the northern Saint Lawrence River basin.

The child had been attending kindergarten perfectly fine when suddenly they were carried off to a press conference. No matter how one looked at it, something was terribly wrong.

Some of the divine beasts that had already swallowed a portion of the corridor's energy began to emit submissive roars, instantly transforming into blurred afterimages that rushed toward Ye Mo. Just as Ye Mo was about to counterattack, he discovered that a Domain of Illusory Wind had surged up around him, and those divine beast afterimages melted into the domain and vanished.

Zhou Guangtao possessed a strong ambition for his career and treated his work with extreme rigor. Even if he himself lacked the motivation to progress actively, he certainly couldn't afford to appear overly decadent.

It seemed Su Duoduo had taken every word I said entirely to heart, believing that I was truly exhausted! In reality, that was merely a pathetic performance I had put on.

Lin Tao felt a slight jolt of surprise. Just as he reacted and attempted to adopt a defensive posture, he felt his arm being seized. Seized with panic, Lin Tao tugged hard on his arm, only to find that it felt like dropping a stone into the vast ocean—he couldn't budge it at all.

Even so, neither of them dared to relax in the slightest. Watching time tick away minute by minute, the surgery proceeded in intense, tightly coordinated concentration.

When Jiang Wubian opened his eyes, he was astonished to find that the tumor-afflicted martial master had fallen to the ground at some point. His eyes were vacant and lifeless like those of a corpse, staring blankly ahead at the distant sky as if entirely oblivious to everything around him. Combined with his ugly features, it was truly a spine-chilling sight.

Ning Nao'er pressed herself tightly behind a massive boulder, barely escaping disaster with a pale and deeply worried face.

"It's all the better if they keep their eyes on me. I'd love to see what methods they have to pull up this thorn of mine!" Luo Changsheng replied domineeringly, gazing in the direction where his enemies had vanished.

Yet with the words at the tip of her tongue, recalling the current labyrinthine situation and various mysteries—all of which seemed to be orchestrated by a hidden hand behind the scenes, and with Qin Xuyang inextricably linked to these matters—she hesitated.

Jiang's wife had been embarrassed at first, but later, urged on by the elderly physician, she stated her purpose. She wanted to condition her body; she wanted to bear a son for Old Fourth Hu.

At present, Chen Ke enjoyed maximum benefits and perks, and even held shares in the team.

You must know that His Imperial Grandfather also cherished this statue of the Guanyin of the South Sea dearly; he had gone to great lengths to bring it out of the imperial palace. How could it possibly not be considered a rare treasure in your eyes?

Pity that heaven refused to grant a dragon's wish; having just been slammed into the ground, he was too severely injured, his internal organs feeling as though they had been pulverized. He couldn't even utter a coherent sentence, and the unspoken curse in his heart ultimately came out in halting, broken gasps, making his meaning nearly impossible to decipher.

Those contracted beasts that had not yet been intimidated by him subconsciously regarded him as some sort of terrifying ferocious beast.

"I truly hope you actually know what you're doing," You Yun said, pointing at the screen where six giant cockroaches were flying up simultaneously.

"Mr. Barkley, can you find your family without going to the Institute of Technology?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.

At this moment, Zhang Tian was similarly captivated by the singing. The moment the melody began, Zhang Tian felt as if he had forgotten he was in a foreign world, casting all his troubles out of his soul.

Under normal circumstances, Master Zhang remained in a state of absence, but every night at around eleven o'clock, he would punctually appear by Ye Mo's side to begin imparting a martial arts secret technique to him.

No sooner had Jiang Huairen and Jiang Kangkai appeared than Jiang Kun suddenly apologized. Jiang Kun was well aware of Jiang Huairen's purpose in coming; feeling guilty for having offended him, Jiang Kun had been waiting specifically to offer his apologies.
