Chapter 52: She Really Likes Being Used This Way

In a five-star hotel in the Eastern District, there were fewer than a hundred guests, all members of the Duan family from the provincial capital. Ever since Duan Tiande returned in disgrace last time, losing a beloved subordinate, the family had already learned the truth behind the incident.

For a colossal family like theirs, reputation was paramount, and they were determined to reclaim it. Plans had already been set in motion to ensure everything was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the Ye family sought their allegiance, offering half of their assets.

...

Byakuya felt the loss of spiritual power, his eyes wide with disbelief. At most, he had ten days left—perhaps not even that—before he would become nothing but a corpse.

"Master, since you wish for Junior Brother to stay, why let him leave?" Qingxiang Bailian asked again.

"Definitely one of the lord’s people." Zhao Manxiong’s expression was utterly relaxed; these days, he and Jin Qiude had discussed many operational details.

Frank, fierce, and tempestuous—Qi Qingru’s overt personality gave Wang Yangjin a sense of violent beauty. Men liked and admired this feeling, even willing to indulge in it.

Among the many cultivators present, Yang Lin was in no rush; he wasn’t about to purchase them one by one, but would sweep them all away in a single move.

Seeing Hongye Shou cover her mouth and giggle, Wang Chen helplessly scratched his head, walked over to the somewhat weary-looking Zheng Tai, and casually picked up a short sword—a fine six-star weapon. But with his current strength, even seven-star items were rarely used, and such a thing no longer caught his eye.

"What?" The man in black didn’t immediately grasp Su Yu’s meaning, but he realized he’d been lured into a trap.

Upon hearing Barn’s words, Yang Lin withdrew his gaze and turned to him. "Oh~ Barn, you haven’t rested yet?"

"Of course. Guess who the singer is." He pointed to the TV, where Wang Feng was singing passionately.

Ha! Jiang Yunxian and Wang Dafu had only been together a year, and already had a child—truly swift! Xia Amei looked at the open door with disgust, her delicate brows knitted tightly, then she raised her foot and followed inside.

But according to the laws of cosmic time, this period was unimaginably long.

Xun Yu forced himself to stay alert and direct the rescue operations. The first priority was to confirm the safety of Liu Xie and members of the Cao family.

Xing Lai scratched his head hard, but this wasn’t like the situation in Huai Tree Village—the other party had countless followers supporting them.

"When will the people from the Censorate arrive?" After hearing Chen Chen’s words, Ye Hua couldn’t help but ask. If she had to say any more to him, she feared she would go mad.

Though Li Yalian was gravely wounded, blood holes covering his body, none of his vital organs had been harmed, but the loss of blood had nearly cost him his life.

My impression of Atobe is limited to when he came to challenge the Rikkaidai Tennis Club and the incident with shaving heads on the court.

"Ahem, ahem, due to certain events, gold trading has been temporarily suspended." Clearly, during Chen Chen's delayed stay, something must have happened.

He believed that Xia Amei and Xiao Hengwei arrived here ahead of them because Xia Amei had some method to overcome the disgusting bugs of the wilderness. Now that they had reunited, the Xiao family would surely reach the Divine Palace ruins before any other faction and secure ultimate victory.

"Gurgle..." The soldier opened his mouth, wanting to report his discovery, but only blood foam spilled out.

Yet, it wasn’t over; overhead, the sound of helicopter rotors spinning and flying echoed once again.

The burly man who had thrown the Thunder Grenade wore a ferocious grin, waiting to hear the booming explosion and the screams that would excite him.
