Volume One, Chapter Sixty-Nine: Twenty-One Years in the Profession

"You'll never catch up," she finally sensed it now—Gu Jingxuan had truly fallen for An’er.

The car drove to a sparsely populated area, where Zhang Qiuchen pulled over by the roadside and turned to fix his gaze on the other person.

“Yes,” the officials, still concerned about their image, dared not show any excess, but the common people cared nothing for such things. They waved their arms with excitement, shouting loudly and with beaming faces.

Now, Beiming Wuxie found it all too reasonable. After all, Nangong Jingyue and the others were working together, but that girl, like a corpse, simply watched the spectacle, occasionally gesturing and commenting, “That move was off, you didn’t give your all in that strike.”

Listening to Su Yao’s assurance, and feeling truly exhausted, the two bodyguards obediently followed Su Yao’s arrangements.

Having never experienced such a thing, I truly didn’t know what to say at that moment, so I kept silent—better to say less and make fewer mistakes.

Jennifer curled her lip and rolled her eyes—a hero of justice in prison? This child was truly restless.

Who knew how furious the Gao family would be upon seeing Gao Yang injured.

“How about this: I’ll keep you company while you write?” Bai Zhuozi changed the subject. Right now, none of them could take Tangtang away.

Keyboard Moon entered the room at that moment. Bai Hao’s face stiffened, but despite not smiling, there was a trace of warmth on his face.

He himself was a living example—wishing eighteen generations of his family immortality, all because he was too nervous to make a proper wish.

But most of the stellar core data had no accompanying photographs, since the backgrounds in the images could reveal secrets.

If this were a battle royale game, Xia Feng’s predicament would be like landing and finding only the most useless magazine, while Turtle picked up nothing but a frying pan. Just as they prepared to loot the next building, the enemy’s fully equipped SKS was already aimed at his head, not even needing to hold its breath.

In fact, after coaxing Xia Feng away that day, he called a family meeting the next morning to discuss how to squeeze benefits from Xia Feng, the new boss of Happy City. After deliberation, the family came up with a plan.

The moment the experiment failed, the military, long prepared, immediately intervened on the battlefield. At the same time, the government decided to freeze all subsequent experiments by Rhine Life.

Victor smiled faintly. Between his palms, a long blade entwined with blue patterns slowly appeared. Zippers rose on the blade, which instantly transformed into a massive, crimson greatsword.

The turmoil of that night alarmed many. Someone fought in the streets of Daxing City, weapons in hand, and by the next day even Yang Jian was alerted.

Ashina Weihan hesitated, then finally could not help but ask, “I want to know, are you really my father?” He seemed to have mustered all his courage, urgency in his voice.

“Perhaps these materials will help you refine your theory?” Victor sipped his tea, smiling as he spoke.

He tossed a crystal formed from pure thought to Qin Lie, then turned away, his elegant figure walking back toward the beach he had stood on before.

The corners of Cheng Xi’s eyes were tinged with alluring red, but beneath the determined gaze was a desolation like an uninhabited desert.

Especially with the troublesome Tang Ning present—just thinking about the two hundred million in compensation made Li Xinyue wish she could tear her flesh. Unfortunately, Tang Ning was too well protected.

After his death, his soul dispersed in the Falling Flower Cave, waiting for the next gathering of spirits, though no one knew how many millennia that would take.

Beneath the Gu Group building, Huo Qing decided to inform everyone—perhaps someone would join for a meal.

“My dear Miaoyun! Forgive me! For coming unannounced,” said the leading, elegant young gentleman as he entered, greeting Su Miaoyun with repeated bows.

Many people didn’t know each other, strengths varied, and some team members struggled to keep up.

If she had any regrets about her impulsiveness before, upon seeing Shen Qing’s gaze now, her heart was completely at ease.

The tree-planting mission was complete, but Su Ze and Tang Ning did not stop. In fact, with the help of actors and staff, they had already planted three hundred trees.

If you hear lies too often, you start to believe them. Judging by Li Xinyue’s expression, she probably thought it wasn’t her who was suicidal after Tang Huayun abandoned her all those years ago.

Chengrui nodded sensibly. “I haven’t seen brother in a long time either.” With that, he saluted Shen Xueying and his grandfather, then retired with the nanny.

Yet Qin Yongsun’s situation was peculiar. Whether ten years ago at the Iron Blade Sect or now, it never seemed desperate enough to have to depend on someone else for survival.

For these words to come from a Lingnan master showed their weight. Even Su Zheng was deeply moved in this moment.

In addition, he had purchased ten laser grenades, each a deadly weapon, costing a total of ten thousand credits.

“All right. I agree!” But it was Mu Tongyan, standing behind the two, who calmly gave her approval.

Liu Ji watched as Yang Yanzhao took the lead and left, stroked his sparsely grown beard, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

Mu Xingqiao said that yesterday a strange man came to the school looking for her, asked about her date of birth, blood type, and even secretly took a strand of her hair.

Lu Zhanqing felt that every hiccup he made tasted of squid—this girl was taking far too much care of him.

After nearly a year of fierce competition, everyone thoroughly absorbed the gains from battle.

Gu Hongyi left this world with confusion, but before departing, she cast a deep glance in the direction Qin Ming had gone, sighed, and vanished without a trace.

All in all, this was truly just a ruin—nothing but bricks remained. No wonder so few tourists came. Compared to the bustling Bell Tower, this place was the epitome of loneliness.

Such casualties reduced the New Army’s numbers, but could not diminish their morale or courage.

At that moment, Ruonan walked up to Jin Ruier’s mother, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked as though she was about to start chanting again.

However, the opposing pitcher seemed affected by Seido’s upper inning, and his first pitch was off by a ball’s width.

Fortunately, the opponent’s willpower was astonishingly strong. Otherwise, if it fell into confusion and fired a destructive beam at the trainer, it would have been a real headache—only by commanding the Pokémon to block and run could they hope to survive.

The Snow Country train in the movie seemed to have only twenty or thirty carriages, but don’t forget, this is a real world.

Most crucially, this method actually allowed for simultaneous communication with people from another dimension.
