Chapter 40: The Spoiled Brat (2)

“Tsk, Madam Li, this is clearly your son’s fault. Stop making things difficult for that girl.”

“Exactly. That young lady was knocked down by your son for no reason, and she hasn’t even asked you to pay compensation!”

“Madam Li, your son lies the moment he opens his mouth. You really ought to teach him properly, or what will become of him in the future?”

“That’s right. If children aren’t disciplined, they’ll be the ones to suffer later!”

“Indulging a child is hardly a good thing, because…”

After Firefly had finally finished running wild for a while, he carefully examined her profile—Hero Firefly: Growth Stage, S-Class Potential.

As for the mockery and contempt of the others, he could only pretend not to see them. The facts of the future would prove everything. Trying to argue now would merely invite further humiliation; he might as well save his breath and slap them in the face with the truth later.

In just two or three days, the terms for all the highly skilled technicians about to join Huayu Technology’s chip division had been finalized. After all, the compensation Qin Yu offered was quite attractive.

At that moment, the Sect Master’s anger was raging like a storm-tossed sea, but with distinguished guests present, he could not show it.

“It’s like this…” Telina slowly replied, noticing the curiosity on Ye Hao’s face.

After the 2016 Spring Festival came 2017. Jing Jianbo kept his word, leaving only a small number of workers behind to complete the final touches and accompany the mobile company, the contractors, and the supervision company during the project inspection.

Fa Zheng agreed with Lan Yu’s suggestion as well, but Chen Yucheng still found it difficult to make up his mind. Killing surrendered soldiers was considered inauspicious, and in the end, Chen Yucheng would be the one to bear the blame. Yet by then, he had no other choice.

Xinyue’e knew perfectly well that Zuo Zongtang had only a few capable generals under his command. Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci had both been defeated by Zuo Zongtang, leaving only Jiang Song as someone who might prove difficult to deal with. As for the rest, Xinyue’e did not take any of them seriously.

The old man stormed off. Once he told Zhou Fulai what had happened, the misunderstanding was finally cleared up. But what followed was far from simple. The Huang family had inexplicably suffered a postponement of the wedding, then endured a long barrage of rumors and malicious gossip. How could they possibly feel no anger?

When Zhu Wen heard that Ma Teng and Yuan Shao had received titles from the Son of Heaven and were still preparing to wage war and launch an attack, he was furious. Yet among the allied warlords on his side, only Wu Liren seemed to have quieted down for the moment. Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, and Cao Cao, who was still making his presence felt everywhere, were all sources of endless trouble for Zhu Wen.

Although it was temporarily uncertain what effect Transcendent Protein might have on skeleton monsters, it was undoubtedly important.

The leader of the Yama Sect was named Chu Wumiao. It was said that he was extremely young, yet had already seized control of the Yama Sect. Because of the commotion in Zhengyang Prefecture, he had already arrived near Zhengyang.

Their appearance seemed to freeze the air itself, while an oppressive presence spread unchecked in every direction.

Fortunately, Li Yue himself was not overly ambitious. In this life, becoming a vice general was enough to satisfy him; he had never expected to climb any higher.

A person, after all, was not a sheet of paper and could not exist with only a front and a back. Thus, once everyone in this world broke free from the restraints of the comic, the characters came alive.

Whatever the infected consumed, they absorbed completely, growing stronger in the process. Because of their ever-changing nature, they came to be known as Corpse Brothers.

Wang Peng nodded, took his phone outside to make a call, and Lin Hanxue and Lu Man followed him out.

Old Song gave me a general introduction to the sect. In fact, I had already learned something about the Maoshan Sect from all those zombie movies.

That was why he resisted going outside and avoided anything dangerous. Even the slightest risk was more than he could bear.

“So why are we spending the middle of the night away from home instead of sleeping, only to come all the way to the Qian Kingdom to attack a city? What is the point?”

Compared with Aslan Sara’s reaction, Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne appeared far calmer.
