“Didn’t I already give you the money?” Su Le remained silent as Chen Tianxiong spoke coldly.

“You only gave me the five-hundred-thousand deposit. Are you planning to welch on the remaining one and a half million?” Zhang Ning asked, her smile vanishing as her voice turned icy.

“Welch? That would be going too far.”

“But there is something I want to ask you.”

“Miss Zhang, do you know the consequences of spreading rumors and slandering someone, thereby causing them losses?”

“I recorded our previous conversation and handed it over to the authorities.”

“They’re on their way.”

The instant Chen Tianxiong finished speaking, Zhang Ning’s expression changed completely.

“You tricked me!”

“You promised that you would let me…”

After a single volley instantly killed one person, Lin Luo received no notification that his malice value had increased. He immediately understood: the other party had come carrying a warrant.

At that moment, Xu Xing pulled Massacre out of the white cocoon. He had not expected Nora to return today and immediately bring out the cocoon, ordering him to kill the creature inside. Using Massacre to form a bone blade, Xu Xing thrust it straight in, killing the creature with one blow. At the same time, he received the system notification awarding him one thousand points for the kill.

The instant Sect Leader Zhang placed his hand on You Chuiyun’s shoulder, the pressure emanating from the Painting Saint within the Purple Court Dao Palace immediately dissipated by half.

Outside the window, wind and rain came crashing down like collapsing mountains and roaring seas, as though determined to pour out every last trace of heaven’s might that had remained dormant for months. The violent raindrops hammered against the sill, while the howling gale battered the windows with creaking groans, forcing anyone about to fall asleep to activate a soundproofing array.

The unexpected result was that Newbie Tao successfully won a prize on her very first attempt at the claw machine—and it was a Doraemon plush toy, at that.

The realm was divided into four kingdoms. Of them, Great Zhao was the strongest and Great Xing the weakest. Even so, Great Zhao was not currently capable of unifying the four nations.

A moment later, Jiang Ming withdrew his Buddha Eye. He now had a clear understanding of the queen’s condition.

They found no clues. Since it would hardly do to leave the corpses exposed in the wilderness, Master Cheng led his men in burying them on the spot, prompting someone to mutter unhappily.

The warmth of the tea seeped from her fingertips into her heart and lungs. Rong Ge lifted the cup, then set it down again; its bitter taste made it almost impossible to swallow.

Jiang Wan thought for a moment but said nothing. She merely resolved in secret that once she left this place next year, she would visit Yangzhou if she had the time and rid the people of that menace.

This matter was simply too grave—so grave that even Dugu Yanyun, a veteran commander who had led troops for many years, could not easily bear it.

A huge crescent-shaped blade of wind descended upon the black bear’s head almost simultaneously with Yi Fengleng’s flying sword. Before the bear could react, it cleaved through its entire head, continuing through half its body before finally coming to a halt.

Before Xuan Xiude could even open his mouth, Xuan Qi spoke for him. Clear Spring Valley was willing to join the Phoenix City of Doomsday in its entirety and become part of the city. Xuan Xiude could only follow along, smiling and nodding.

When he finished speaking, Fatty stared at Niu Geng with a complicated expression. For a moment, he seemed unsure what to say.

Gronia led her subordinates deeper into the underground city. As they passed an orc tribe, the sorrowful sound of weeping made her stop in her tracks.

A thunderfire shell struck the fighter’s nose shield. The projectile pierced the shield and shattered the windshield before exiting diagonally upward from the copilot’s position, where Li Qi was seated.

Zhang Jun was utterly dumbfounded. He had assumed Zhou Yuru would be unable to resist taking action, but he had never expected Zhou Yuru to endure Ling Tian’s repeated provocations. No—that was not endurance. Ling Tian’s overwhelming force had completely cowed him.

Brother Cannon seemed to have exhausted every word he could think of that might convey sarcasm. Using any more would only mean repeating himself, so after struggling for a moment, he could do nothing but squat obediently to one side.

“Mm—Xianyan, you’re awake so early?” A familiar voice suddenly sounded beside the bed. Only then did Ye Xianyan realize that she had slept beside Su Hanyun the previous night.

The extremely high suicide rate among the four-legged demi-humans after their capture showed that they, like humans, possessed a powerful sense of honor and shame. The symbol of their noble status had been defiled, and Cockscomb completely lost his reason, charging recklessly toward the operating table.

It was astonishing. Their positions were clearly so contradictory, yet on this matter their attitudes were remarkably unanimous.

Fang Yu had salvaged the nail gun from the corpse of a construction worker. The long nails could be found at any hardware store, making this the best weapon Fang Yu had been able to obtain.

Afterward, Su Rui began discussing the company’s development with Shen Qing. That was the most important matter of all.

Liu Zong’s expression changed. He had used the technique only a few times, yet he had never expected the smoke to reveal every move of the Seven Killings of the Netherworld—and even to deduce certain things that differed from what he had known.

Dozens of sand carriers with extraordinarily deep drafts sailed upstream along the Enmeilihan River and, under cover of darkness, docked at Wangji City upstream of the New City. The militia, who had been waiting at the wharf for some time, enthusiastically transported every bit of cargo into the city. Along with food, energy supplies, and other necessities, there was also a shipment of firearms and weapons.

Jiang Shiyi nodded. She glanced at the sky, now thick with dark clouds, and feared that a torrential downpour was unavoidable today.

Lu Fan walked straight toward the coffin. The clues to this house had to be hidden inside it.

In the past, this would have been an enormous sum. It had taken Su Rui a great deal of effort to accumulate it, so it truly was a considerable amount.

The officials dispersed, and the palace descended into chaos. On one hand, preparations had to be made for Shi Hu’s funeral; on the other, they had to prepare for Shi Shi’s enthronement ceremony.

Several children cracked their knuckles and were just about to beat her, when a wave of air sent them flying. They crashed to the ground and wailed in pain.

Carrying two basket-sized sacks and enduring everyone’s stares along the way, Yuchi Qingya was utterly miserable. Why did all of you have to get out of the car and walk? Boo-hoo, wasn’t there a car?

“That’s better. At least you know your place. By the way, I’ve spent all my pocket money. Give me some more.” Fang Ming released his mother with an expression of displeasure.
