Chapter 55 Seizing Power

Li Zelin and Li Zefeng felt quite differently from their eldest brother. Hearing the old lady's distressed words, they were filled with astonishment.

Yet since their own mother had spoken, Li Zelin, who remained a dutiful son at heart, could not bear to put her in a difficult position. Thinking of the banknotes his daughter held just moments ago, he gritted his teeth, figuring that at worst, he would simply borrow from the child first, and later find a way to repay her whether by copying books or doing hard labor.

However, he did not dare to borrow too much, given how stubborn and spirited his own daughter could be!

Hesitating repeatedly, Li—

If anything were to erupt here, it would trigger a chain reaction affecting the whole situation, and their mission might well end in complete failure.

Madam Ran's health was poor; the two matrons had already known this before arriving. Seeing it today confirmed their knowledge, yet the news of the Jiang family taking on disciples had spread widely across Guangling. As women from the entourage of the Xu family's matriarch, the two matrons had made this trip specifically to sound out the Jiang family's stance.

Furthermore, he audibly took a few bold steps toward Yanli, as if intending to scoop him up into her arms.

Nan Wen wished she could find a corner to crawl into and hide; she really did not want to let everyone know she was acquainted with this fellow.

Could one possibly expect a Minister of Finance who rose to the position through elections and had nothing whatsoever to do with mathematics to sort out such intricate financial relations and unravel all the financial issues currently facing the ministry within two years? Is that even remotely possible?

"Well? Are you going to hand it over or not?" Seeing them act this way, Zhang Xun knew they might fly into a rage, and he had already prepared himself for battle.

Having no other choice, Gurhan could only continue putting Meng Feibai through physical conditioning—at the very least, it would build up his body and health, which was better than nothing.

"Senior Sister, how should I address you?" Seeing that the young lady had not accepted the wine pill, Zhang Xun asked for her name once again.

Next, as Bill Gates once said, both sides would simply have to escalate the fight until one party's flesh hurt too much to continue; only then could it come to an end.

Afterward, Fan Kangping made a call to the airport's surveillance room, temporarily shutting down several surrounding security cameras.

After the meal, Rong Shaochen brought her to the Noble Manor, located not far from the Imperial Garden Villa. Even before they stepped inside, the manager enthusiastically hurried forward to greet them.

Moments later, the gigantic figure seemed to experience some kind of interference, followed by crackling static sounds before it vanished into thin air. At the same time, the crimson hexagons that had covered the entire sky also disappeared, revealing the dusk-lit plaza once more.

"That should work, but I just hope it doesn't provoke any aversion from them," Cheng Ying said with a hint of worry.

Just as Rong Shaochen was about to hurl a few angry curses at her, he was startled to see her still frantically wiping her hands with a blanket, flailing her entire body around like someone having a seizure, her handsome eyes filled with utter disgust and aversion.

"Everything is ready!" said Tohka Yatogami. Cheng Li watched as she wore sportswear convenient for movement and shouldered a small backpack. He nodded and continued to wait.

To find a reasonable explanation for how he knew all these things, to be honest, had cost Chiba a great deal of thought. After all, it wasn't easy for him to simply tell Nagato and the others that he possessed knowledge of history.

Also! There is one point that must be clarified and explained: his playing video games was strictly for training purposes, as he and his friends were preparing to participate in the urban tournament.

Unfortunately, Bumblebee's vocal apparatus had been damaged, so he could only transmit his thoughts to everyone through communication radio waves.

"So that's how it is!" Da Siming and Shao Siming suddenly understood. It was not that the power contained the laws, but rather that the palace was imprinting them. Based on their respective divine positions and laws, it was replicating their attributes.

However, this affair happened to be discovered by a certain true immortal, who then went along with the tide and devised a scheme to manipulate the situation.

Zhang Jialiang and Wang Ba were discussing matters inside. Both of them knew the discussion concerned their own affairs; although they were drinking tea and maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, they could still discern a sense of urgency in each other's eyes.
