Cao Mang sensed hostile gazes, grinned at the gang of thugs, and made a throat-slitting gesture. Instantly, their faces flushed with anger.

"Get him!"

"Don’t be rash—this is Brother White Wolf’s turf. Wait until he leaves before making a move."

"It’s fine, drag him to the restroom. If anything happens, I’ll take it up with Brother White Wolf..."

"I used to have doubts about this as well, but this time Yuri told me—it’s even more complicated than we imagined!" Sergei said.

Jian Mo was stunned for a moment, then involuntarily shivered, feeling that the words were deeply unsettling.

"Cheng Yiben, how did you get in here?" Pei Shiyin’s heart raced wildly, her cheeks blushing uncontrollably.

In truth, Xu Chu had considered dealing with the persistent Lu Qian first, but the man was a formidable warrior with enough strength to hold his position. If it were a one-on-one fight, Xu Chu would have cut him in two long ago. Unable to endure, Xu Chu could only clear out the seemingly endless enemy soldiers first.

Just as Yin Han regained his composure and sensed something was wrong, a sharp pain shot through his left waist. Ye Fan, taking advantage of his speed after unlocking the eight meridians, had darted behind Yin Han in an instant and delivered a powerful kick right to his left ribs.

Shandore slammed his fist onto the mat. Pang Tong, surprised by the tremor of the ground, grinned widely. The burly man pulled his body forward and grabbed Pang Tong's curved collar. Pang Tong’s brows furrowed; his breath grew irregular. The man before him locked eyes on him with a predator’s gaze, like a tiger or leopard sizing up its prey.

"Then how did you get hold of Li Lihua’s bank card?" Yu Yuqian, Long Lixing, and Xing Zhengyi all turned to look at Chen Yiyan.

The old prince coughed violently, and the old princess discreetly wiped her eyes, pretending nothing had happened.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Chenyu felt the invisible aura emanating from Gu Beichen, and his brows knitted slightly.

Yan Luoxi couldn’t help but sneer. Truly, a mighty general commands only fierce soldiers—those who follow Li An’s lead are as cold-blooded and ruthless as he.

At this moment, Huaxia City was beset on all sides, flames of war raging everywhere. Over the city lord’s mansion, apart from Ye Mo and Feng Yue—the two god-kings—the other deities had engaged in battle, moving their fight outside the city, thus leaving the whole city to the god-kings as their battleground.

I looked at Su Duoduo with utmost seriousness. There was not a hint of jest in my words, and seeing my earnest gaze, she seemed at a loss, unsure whether to accept or refuse.

Wang Yulin was stunned, hardly able to believe her eyes. Since when did Ye Qingtin have the authority to make decisions for the old matriarch?

Afterwards, everyone introduced themselves, and with that, there was less formality and more ease in their interactions.

"Oh, that really is a sad piece of news." Michael replied with a smile. In response, Liu Yihan and Boa exchanged a shrug, tacitly indicating their helplessness.

Lying sprawled on the sunbaked stone slab, Young Master Ye’s face was dark with lines of frustration. Absently, he opened his attribute space and began clicking around aimlessly.

"Ah!" Avril sighed softly, thinking to herself that who knows when they’ll meet again. Her beautiful eyes grew misty.

"They said they were worried they’d hold us back," Cui Xiuying remarked sourly, still clearly unsettled by what had just happened.

In the end, Qin Ting, unable to resist He Liuyang’s domineering presence, gave him a kiss. During dinner, He Liuyang told Qin Ting about the favor he needed from her.

Lin Yixun was finally satisfied when she heard everyone flattering, afraid to discuss anything else.

Zhang Yu at her side happened to be a major driving force for her plans. Zhang Yu already had a blueprint for the army in mind, but his arrival now made her vision seem even more grand and magnificent.
