Chapter 68: Straying In
He hung up the phone and collapsed limply onto the sofa, his entire body already drenched in sweat.
Father Jiang was no fool; he could naturally hear the underlying threat in the man's words. If he failed to find Jiang Yi today, he would likely suffer a gruesome death. To protect the entire Jiang family, he could only force himself to steady his nerves, summon everyone he possibly could, and set out to find Jiang Yi.
As for the subsequent questions she asked, I simply brushed them off with vague replies. After all, it was best if others remained oblivious to this matter to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
The fact that he was not completely destroyed by Li Meihua and his parents was entirely thanks to these brothers of his. No matter how much he loved wealth, he could not comfortably pocket everything for himself.
A figure dressed in white with a tall hat appeared behind her. Given the inscription "Wealth Upon Meeting" on his hat, it was not hard to guess his identity.
In his mind, with a population base as massive as Jinling City and no shortage of wealthy individuals, there should be plenty of people who had raised their strength above the Ding tier simply by consuming spiritual fruits.
"We certainly cannot let the acquiring party suffer any losses. We have already figured it out: the funds recovered from selling the factory will be used to pay off the debts. If liabilities exceed assets, the municipal finance department will allocate additional funds to clear them. On this issue, you can all set your minds at ease." The city's senior official spoke for the first time, and his words reassured the others considerably.
Although everyone had witnessed Roy in this state before, that was during his previous battle with Otsutsuki Isshiki.
The driver seemed to be someone who could not bear silence. Seeing Xu Xian remain utterly quiet along the way, he glanced at him through the rearview mirror a few times.
They were currently in a rather remote area, devoid of bustling crowds and tall buildings.
The direction of Xu Xian's charge was not chosen at random; rather, it was the weakest point in the demonic boar encirclement that he had spotted after assessing the situation during the earlier skirmish. Although there were still quite a few demonic boars in this direction, the strongest among them was only at the Yi tier.
Chen Xiaojun went to see Yan Zhong by herself and did not return until very late. To her surprise, Tang Wang did not care at all and did not even ask a single question.
The primary characteristic of the technique "Furious Dragon of the Raging Wind" is its utter silence. The secret of this move lies in condensing the surrounding wind into one's fist, using the wind within the fist to propel the body's movement. Once condensed to a certain threshold, it is unleashed upon the enemy.
Compared to the image of evil political commissars in a well-known, high-budget Soviet-German war epic directed by a certain French filmmaker of later generations—where civilians were forcibly conscripted as cannon fodder and shot on the spot at the slightest sign of defiance—
She closed the script and turned her head, only to meet a face that was somewhat decent in appearance, yet utterly ruined by a pair of lewd eyes.
Hearing intense sounds of combat coming from outside, Luo Wuyi immediately activated the World Leaf skill of his Kunlun Divine Wood Bracelet. A green leaf drifted onto his chest, transforming into a green radiance that enveloped his entire body.
To appeal to Moscow for help at a juncture like this, right after he had just been relieved of his post by Stalin, was an option clearly lacking in practical reality for Zhukov.
This was the consequence of inconvenient transportation and inflexible information transmission; otherwise, a problem that could be solved with a single phone call would never require risking danger to return to Yanjing like this.
As she said this, the smile could no longer hold on her face, looking drastically different from when she had stepped forward earlier to present congratulatory gifts to Luan Jingyi—it was a mixture of awkwardness and mortification.
Four missiles struck the rear of the warship, and the shockwave of the explosions forced the mermen to leap back into the lake.
"In other words, you scammed me, and now you're making me live right inside the trap!" Chen Lili had already raised her foot.
