Chapter 50: Father Qin Plays Hardball
While the housekeeper was on the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao had already withdrawn her hand and fixed her gaze upon him.
The noisy living room instantly fell silent, making the voice coming from the phone appear exceptionally abrupt.
Dissatisfied with Jiang Yi's response, Lin Xiaoxiao flew into a rage, ruthlessly pounding the sofa in a flurry of blows before departing in aggrieved tears.
Since Jiang Yi refused to manage her affairs, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to return to her own home to seek out Father Qin.
...
The zombie struck Qi Potian with a single palm, sending a wave of violent energy surging in all directions through the ground and the surrounding air. The buildings behind Qi Potian, already battered and broken, were further shattered by the radiating shockwave.
Han Lin smiled and nodded without saying anything further. What truly concerned him in his heart was not whether the Demon Lord would appear, but a matter of much greater importance.
"Brother Zhang, regarding the reasons for our country's backwardness, you have spoken of the first—the impact of political movements. But what is the second?" Lu Dayu asked.
Meanwhile, Sozer, who belonged to the same Giant Ant Team, set off together with Josut Vetri.
The notion of claiming it for himself had also faded from his heart, because he had no idea what kind of formation this actually was, and even if he managed to move it, he might not be able to replicate it.
"Let me tell you this, we spare you because of your advanced age and unwillingness to resort to force, otherwise these instruments would already be put to use by you old immortals—now all of you, damn it, better behave yourselves!" several burly men on the side threatened.
"I say Lixin and Xinyi, you must have broadcasted that episode where Brother Zhang captured the assassin and rescued the president, right?" Lu Dayu asked.
"Hoo..." Catherine let out a long breath, as if releasing the surging power from within her body, and a sense of complete comfort washed over her.
Simultaneously, a very crisp explosion rang out, sounding just like a balloon bursting under excessive air pressure. Though the sound was not loud, it was remarkably sharp.
"Just now, Yang Jian was foolish; I hope the two of you will not take it to heart. Alas... I have been devoted to my duty and guarding the Heavenly Court all my life, yet as time passed, I ended up neglecting the most important companions by my side. Had I not seen this diary today, I fear I would not know when I would have awakened," Erlang Shen said with an embarrassed smile.
"That 'medicinal' water smell he mentioned, I know what it is!" Feng Xinci suddenly blurted out, word by word.
According to Fang Lai's arrangements, before the wedding procession, Zhao Fuxin was required to offer sacrifices in front of the doorway, kneel in worship, and then receive instructions from his aging mother.
With that, Gu Meng completely disregarded Li Zelü's astonishment and walked straight out of his office, slamming her own office door shut behind her with a heavy thud.
Qianzhan's arms were severed clean at the roots, and his heart-rending, agonizing screams echoed across the entire Duan estate. As Leng Yue's eyes flickered dazedly and she raised her head in a daze, a mouthful of blood sprayed from her cherry lips, staining the other's tense cheek red.
Wang Yuanwu looked at Gu Feng, who was already on the verge of erupting, and dared not provoke him further, figuring he should leave first.
"Hey, hey, I've been posting on my blog much less lately, alright? It's already miserable enough being flamed online every day by inexplicable people. Even if they're just a tiny minority, having even one or two is enough to drive you crazy." Zhu Ling posted a bitter-complaint emoticon.
"Are you afraid? Keep in mind that if I make a single wrong move, your life is forfeit," Teng said unhurriedly.
Song Yiyi looked over with curiosity. What kind of strange contraption was something this large, and what on earth was Xiahou Ce playing at?
The Hundred Beasts Spirit Pill was refined from the gallbladders of a hundred kinds of strange beasts combined with dew gathered across the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Possessing the therapeutic effects of regulating qi, detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, and resolving stasis, it was a holy medicine for treating internal injuries. As the name implied, Immortal Fox Saliva was harvested from the golden saliva and jade nectar of an immortal fox. Extremely rare, it was a holy medicine for treating external injuries and could also be taken orally.
As the most powerful and mysterious black-ops organization within the Odisia Empire, the "Instructor Academy" had been reduced to ashes in this inexplicable explosion. What actually happened remained entirely unknown to anyone; all they knew was that the sudden catastrophe had turned the entire organization into ruins.
