Chapter 105: The Beast That Chooses Its Prey Seeking Diamond Votes

As the city lord and his wife departed, only four young people remained. Fei Yuan immediately called for wine to be served.

She was the type who was both inexperienced and fond of drinking; just one cup would make her dizzy.

Xiao Jiuqian looked apologetic. “My wife and I will leave first. You two take your time.”

As he helped Fei Yuan walk away, Xiao Yushui had a servant bring a straw and stuck it directly into the wine bottle.

I never expected that Master Kong would also come to Luoyi. He was currently staying temporarily at the Xiangyun Treasure House, accompanied by Duanmu Ci. I held great anticipation for this greatest sage throughout the ages and immediately set off to visit Master Kong at the Xiangyun Treasure House.

I silently cursed my misfortune. If this was truly King Chu Zhao’s plan, then there was almost no room for maneuver. If King Chu Zhao died, wouldn’t Lu Yihong be doomed to rot in prison?

The Aurora Games official announcement declared that starting immediately, they would sue Willful Heaven for defamation and simultaneously condemn such behavior from Willful Heaven.

Thus, the hunter became the hunted. Had he not been suddenly rescued, he might have even lost his life on the path.

The city walls of Huo County were clearly no match for those of Luoyi. Seeing the scene before me, I couldn’t help but recall when I first arrived at Shangcai, the capital of Cai State. Back then, I was deeply moved by Cai’s poverty. I never imagined that Huo County’s scale was even smaller than Shangcai.

Although most of these young people were just about to enter their sophomore year and would be considered inexperienced in other IT circles, Harvard students were undoubtedly exceptional. Even as sophomores undertaking paid internships over the summer, they had made considerable achievements, completing the localization work quite well.

At this moment, how could Yan Liang not realize this was a trap—an extremely vicious one, designed to burn the main forces of Ji State to death right here in Hot Spring Town? The city gates had already been sealed with earth and stones; the only way out was from the battlements.

When Chen Yuan arrived at his residence, what was meant to be a mere formality turned out differently—indeed, some trouble had arisen at his home.

I brought him a boxed meal but saw his gaze blankly fixed to the west. Following his line of sight, I saw Shi Qingqing gracefully boarding her nanny van. Looking at her shapely figure, I couldn’t help but recall the earlier scene and swallowed hard.

I quietly observed Ru Ji’s beautiful eyes. Though her tone was firm, there was no hint of murderous intent in her gaze, which finally put me at ease.

Zhang Shaowu smiled proudly, pulling out the brand-new playing cards that Gabriel had borrowed and placing them on the table before William Kyle.

“Idiot, I’m borrowing your suitcase since I don’t have enough space for my things,” I said to the suitcase as I took the clothes out.

Chen Mu’s strength was suppressed, his movements restricted. Bit by bit, he was pushed into a corner by Li Chen, with limited room to maneuver.

Guo Zizhao’s promise gave Xie Zhenye tremendous motivation, and during the subsequent training period, Xie Zhenye’s performance did not disappoint Guo Zizhao.

Her slender wrist trembled lightly, emitting a pulse that sent shivers down the spine—more terrifying than the oppressive aura of the man in the black robe.

Luo Xue was right. Five minutes later, the excited deputy director of Shangxiu Hall fumbled nervously, hastily sending a text message to the delegation.

Over a hundred people ascended the steps at the center of the square, each going about their business. The leaders and other influential figures conversed among themselves, some disciples in blue robes fiddled with jade stones, armored soldiers stood guard in various spots, and tables and chairs were arranged in the middle of the square.

Even Yi Hualong took a few people to observe the training grounds of Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi for a while. During breaks, they chatted briefly. After all, these men had been teammates on the national team with Zhang Peimeng for several years and shared an old camaraderie.
