Volume 1, Chapter 38: Delivering the Letter of Divorce

Footsteps echoed as Huo Yuhao pulled a visibly reluctant Wang Dong onto the track, leaving the others watching in bewilderment.

Xiao Xiao flushed deep red, unable to articulate the words she had just intended to say; she stuttered, eventually saying nothing at all, which made the atmosphere incredibly awkward.

The surroundings fell silent. Yu Sheng held Zhao’s hand with his left, while his right hand slipped into her embrace, savoring the rare tranquility and softness.

"Yes! Have KA send someone to Trenton, New Jersey, to find a drug dealer named Shawn Corey Carter and bring him to the Crown." The singer John was looking for was still dealing drugs in Trenton at the time, not leaving the street life to enter the music industry until 1996.

Yu Sheng knew this: fish were typically kept in wells, both as a good omen and to test if the water was poisoned.

"But what can be done now? A home doesn't feel like a home. Walking through those doors is like entering a stagnant pool—it’s suffocating." Ling Annan tapped the table a few times, his movements so forceful they bordered on slamming it.

"Wuu~" Hou Tu began to struggle, but faced with that skilled exploration, she melted away before long.

By the way, tell your new master something for me: once we have avenged the Technocracy, even greater rewards await him.

"Alright, since you insist, I’ll accept it... I forgive you." Chitanda wore an expression that suggested she was doing Oreki a favor.

Dai Ze couldn't quite put a finger on his feelings—perhaps he was overthinking it—but he withdrew his gaze, took Guoguo from Ren Jiao’s arms, and walked inside together.

"Do you have the guts to say that to Teacher Huo’s face?" Zhou Chenchen curled her lip, exposing Zhang Zijin.

"Enough, enough, keep your voice down. The grand finale item of the Myriad Spirits Auction, hosted by the Yun family, was snatched by a mysterious person, and they still haven't caught them. The Yun family forces passing by just now are likely dealing with that. Don't be impulsive and court disaster at a time like this," an old man nearby whispered in warning.

Yet, after the anger subsided, one should sit down and think calmly. In truth, there were significant holes in Xixi's claims; the evidence she showed were merely photos. Without a personal confession from her husband, Duan Weiyu still couldn't be certain.

She looked at her outfit—it was strictly professional work attire. Should she go home first? But there didn't seem to be enough time.

She actually compared Zhou Chi to a scumbag! Setting aside their differences in character, their roles in her life alone made the comparison invalid.

"Help me investigate which companies the terminated suppliers have signed contracts with. If I’m not mistaken, those people have already established a new company. Book me a flight; I need to go to France."

Seeing that his family affairs remained unresolved, he grew even more restless. Even while sitting in the car, he forgot to clarify things with his wife and simply let the matter slide in silence.

No matter how skilled a craftsman is, he remains just a craftsman. Moreover, he usually only crafted jewelry for the palace and had no dealings with court officials; he wasn't adept at socializing either. Naturally, when he got into trouble, no one would step up for him.

At this thought, Yun Ying felt a surge of heat in her heart, followed immediately by a bitter smile. While the power was unbelievable, she feared her own body would suffer catastrophic damage; perhaps before she even threw a punch, she would lose half her life just trying to withstand it.

"I just missed, that's all!" Bai Liuqing’s face turned red, though deep down, she had no idea what had actually gone wrong.

His actions regarding the mutants had long since sparked resentment among some in the military, but at the time, Stryker was too powerful, and they could only endure it.

However, she couldn't say anything now; she would just wait to see the outcome of Chen Hongmei’s trip to Yangliu Town to see Ugly Erdan. If the boy insisted on leaving, she would advise Chen Hongmei to have Wang Meimei adopted by Wang Dangjun’s family instead.

The moment Xun Yuting saw Ding Yu, she blocked Qian Xi behind her, eyes narrowed slightly as she guarded against Si Qi.

The reason she had revealed her hideous true form to Okot before donning the Queen's skin to seduce him was primarily to satisfy her own twisted psychological needs.

"Yes." A dozen thugs armed with weapons poured out from within; these were the men who hadn't appeared before, and they were the most formidable of the lot.

Savilia had no intention of letting this unexpected windfall go, or rather, she didn't mind destroying every military facility she encountered in the Empire.

On the other side, lines of text were neatly arranged, and a photo of Peter Parker was stamped on the right side of the document.

In truth, he felt a sense of despair. He had spent so long operating before the government, only to earn the assurance that his illegal academy wouldn't be shut down.

This sudden turn of events did not surprise Hua Ying, who stood behind Bai Ling. These kinds of bullies, who preyed on the weak and feared the strong, were always like this.

But after observing Chu Yu carefully and counter-observing her cousin Gu Yan, she realized there was simply no room for any intersection between the two.

The first choice offered the possibility of triggering hidden achievements and obtaining further system rewards—perhaps another B-rank draw opportunity, or something even better.

One must know that this place was usually visited only by Zhang Shaofeng. Furthermore, it was heavily guarded; without Zhang Shaofeng to lead the way, even a great Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't hope to break in unnoticed.

Wearing Zero's mask and shedding such sorrowful tears while stabbing Lelouch made no sense from the perspective of Suzaku's character profile.

Before Gao Moying could speak, Long Zhuyu jumped in first, but as he finished his sentence...

Finally, Naruto could hold back no longer; he used a jade vessel to catch those tears of blood, unable to bear the waste of such precious experimental material.

As if in a race, the reporters departing from the Football Association office—some in Santanas, others in Mercedes or BMWs—floored their accelerators, terrified of falling a step behind their peers.

On the sidelines, Ferguson shook hands with Yun Sheng again, his expression having changed once more.

He turned to glance at the Clan Chief of the Phoenixes beside him, just as the Chief heard Long Zhanyan’s words.

Yet, when he had his first Chinese meal after arriving in the United States, Zheng Jianchuo didn't say a word to the restaurant owner. Instead, he flashed his long-absent, shy smile and instantly transformed into a man of few words, leaving the owner and the waiters to simply shrug and let the matter pass.

"Hmph, I hadn't expected he would have such grand ambitions, wanting to re-establish the Ancient Heavenly Court," Yuan Hong sneered. Seeing that the Queen Mother of the West remained silent, he knew she was worried that Kunpeng’s words might make him suspicious.
