At the beginning of the email was a sentence. Henry swallowed nervously and began to review the information. After going through the details, his eyes widened in shock.
At this point, Henry Ho, the King of Gambling, was already pale with fear. If anything catastrophic happened at his casino, his entire empire would collapse instantly.
Qin Huanhuan was naturally lazy and never cared much for hairstyles, always opting for a simple high ponytail in the past. But today, her hair was styled in an elaborate manner—clearly not done by herself.
Was this the decisive move that Qin Jingyuan mentioned? According to the information Li Feng had received, Qin Jingyuan’s most powerful technique was the unknown-level fusion of ice and fire. This move was indeed troublesome for Li Feng, but not unbeatable. After all, top-tier experts on the Wind and Cloud Rankings always had their own means.
The gala continued to be spectacular, with many stars still set to take the stage. Naturally, no one was willing to leave early.
Inside the vehicle, the driver and Abu’s bodies had already been taken by the Blood Buddha Space. Now that the Blood Buddha Space had leveled up, ordinary corpses no longer yielded rewards.
In the end, the basketball was swatted away by a somewhat taller Iron Mountain, but just as it hit the ground, a figure swift and fierce as a leopard snatched it away.
Qin Jingyuan would never reveal his vulnerable side before someone who was neither enemy nor friend. So he remained composed. Li Feng was so startled by the gleaming sword that he failed to notice the slight pallor on Qin Jingyuan’s face.
After handling matters, the robot brought the samples into the experimental chamber. The entire experimental floor was a sealed compartment.
“I told you, calling me your ‘auntie’ hasn’t cost me a thing,” Wang Ge chuckled twice. If Xu Zi were still alive, she would be in her fifties, nearing sixty.
“Where did you take Monk Bai Rong and Si?” Unable to hide her anxiety and anger, Ruoxin fixed a cold gaze on the Elder.
Ji Xiyan, not very literate, sent a few shy smiley faces and hearts, along with a flying kiss, attaching a freshly taken photo at the end.
He must have been very angry and upset, otherwise, he wouldn’t have left in silence, leaving behind a cracked wall.

Early the next morning, a carriage from the Yu residence drove out through the side gate. Qing looked out at the still dim sky; without the sun rising, it was impossible to tell whether the day would be clear or overcast.
“I just remembered, where’s my coffee?” Mu Feng’s eyes briefly clouded with sadness, but he quickly changed the subject.
The next day, Wang, the wealthy landlord, accused Bu Nan of assault without cause and then spent a fortune bribing the provincial governor. As a result, Bu Nan was dismissed and investigated, while his son Wang Gang smoothly took over as magistrate of Songzhou City.
Ji Xiyan didn’t realize that if Chu Aotian didn’t like her, he wouldn’t even bother to glance her way, let alone hold any grudges or dislike.
“You didn’t leave?” She had thought he had already taken off in his extravagant carriage from Beiling, but unexpectedly, Yu Zichen emerged from the room.
But they also noticed that the bird-shaped consciousness form had lost its original thickness, as if a masterful chef had peeled off a layer of skin.
And there was what happened in the dining hall that morning: she had taken the initiative to sit with Xi Xichen and proudly touched the necklace, claiming it was a gift from him.
Chen Dongsheng held Yuer’s hand, while Mrs. Lin carried a basket containing a two-pound slab of fatty meat bought in town, along with some pastries as a thank-you gift for the village chief. As soon as they entered the chief’s courtyard, the chief’s wife gave them a sidelong glance before breaking into a warm smile, appearing exceptionally friendly.
Moreover, even if they won, it wouldn’t help much. The Magic Guild was just one of many organizations of supernatural powers. Winning against one was meaningless without addressing the root problem—most members merely acted under orders.
Yu Sheng and Li Yu exchanged a knowing smile but chose to stay on the street to remain vigilant. However, because their large builds attracted attention, after being searched three times within a few hundred meters, they decided to observe from a teahouse instead.
“Is it because of the store manager? Could it be... you two had a quarrel?” Akayama Ayaka squinted suspiciously.
Shijiu shook his head, his eyes betraying unease. He shone his flashlight underwater; the dark cave entrance was still there, with no signs of rock movement. The water was calm, showing no indication anyone was inside.
However, it now seemed more likely that the first scenario was true, because no one else but him would disclose this matter. No, there was one more—Chizuru Hoshino.

If He Jingmo were still in the palace, he wouldn’t return until the afternoon, so she wouldn’t have to wait for him to dine.
Murong was struck on both sides simultaneously, causing agonizing pain in her abdomen. Already suffering internal injuries, she vomited a mouthful of fresh blood after the shock.
“I think Li’er’s punishment should be harsher. Let’s sever his hands,” one person shouted nearby.
Though the Magic Tower was magnificent and extravagant in materials, the mid-level half-elf at level forty-plus had yet to create a truly powerful tower spirit.
The Payne family’s armory was built beneath a rocky mountain sealed by layers of magic. Though the enchantments were not of high grade, it was impossible to blast open the mountain with conventional weapons.
After a night of revelry, it was proven that having a lover helped relieve stress—at least for a player like Arinas.
Xu Liyin clenched her hands tightly within her sleeves again, trying to suppress uncontrollable emotions.
With the referee’s whistle, the crowd’s cheers echoed through the stands, signaling the official start of the match.
Second Uncle carefully examined Bai Yuzhou, noting he bore a strong resemblance to his elder brother. Overcome with excitement, he grabbed Bai Yuzhou’s hand.
The following day, Li Wenyuan and Yang Zhilin dragged Shen Yang into a discussion about sports science.
The Xia family’s secret technique, Sequential Casting, could unleash three waves of wind blades in one second if power was discounted. However, the squad leader employed a charged attack, making the second wind blade more powerful. Fired five seconds later, it swept through and instantly sliced through all the black-armored soldiers.
