27 The Ruthless Bandit Syndicate (Includes 1k Nutrient Solution Bonus Chapter)

Two streams of crimson light erupted violently from his eyes, locking in a confrontation across the void with his opponent, who did not retreat in the slightest.

For some reason, Qian Meiyue felt a tightening in her chest as she watched the young man's smile, a bone-deep chill spreading through her entire body.

However, after witnessing Liu Guangqi's reaction, Qu Yaojie only became more invigorated.

Yet, monsters capable of taking human form were few and far between on the Five Elements Continent. The only logical conclusion was that this youth was the very flood dragon that had recently survived its heavenly tribulation. If that were the case, his own situation was precarious.

Seeing that the domestic riots had ceased, Yan Yan issued a warning to the foreign warships in the Indonesian waters, giving them one day to depart from Indonesian territory; otherwise, her private guard would annihilate them within those waters.

It seemed that Wuhun had guessed Yue Jing's misgivings. He told Yue Jing that he only needed to manage the affairs of the Red Blood Army for now. Sun Zhen could still maintain control for a while longer. At the same time, he summoned Sun Zhen and made him swear to support Yue Jing with all his might. With the two of them joining forces, the safety of the Tianfeng Kingdom would be guaranteed.

Pan Yuhong remained indifferent. He pressed his palm downward, and instantly, everyone in the hall was forced to the ground. The entire auditorium fell into a sudden, deathly silence, with everyone looking at Pan Yuhong in terror.

"Please, my lords, return first. His Majesty has decreed that we must first pacify the populace before discussing rewards. You should all attend to your respective duties; there is no time for idle breath." Li Jingxiao issued the dismissal order with impatience.

Yet, the hand of Wu Hui, who was supporting her, seemed to have anticipated the movement, exerting a sudden, powerful force to steady Xinyi firmly.

"Show-off!" Mei Xuelian shot a glare at Pan Yuhong. Fortunately, their conversation had been conducted entirely through telepathic transmission; otherwise, if others like Ye Zishui had overheard, it might have caused another stir.

Sun Jingming's words hung over the crowd like a massive boulder, leaving them breathless and filled with complicated, bitter emotions.

Scanning the area, he was startled to discover that the remaining mechanical warriors' corpses numbered exactly eight—no more, no less.

Mei Yue nodded as well. "Third Senior Brother." She had little contact with this Third Senior Brother and their relationship was indifferent. This time, when she returned, the other senior brothers had all come to see her specifically, but he was the only one who had not appeared.

Feng Yu’s gaze darkened. Grandpa Qin had been so kind to him, yet this Luo had once been his mother’s murderer—a man he had sworn to flay and dismember. How could he possibly let it go so easily?

"Taixuan, what exactly is it? Give me a specific location." The fat man asked me again from behind.

The Ministry of Defense was already placing additional orders, and General Ross, swept clean of his previous gloom by this turn of events, found his influence significantly increased.

Yes, from its movements and gaze, Feng Wu could see its arrogance and its utter disdain for her.

"Baldy, do you think the instructor might be too scared to show up? He’s still not here," said a middle-aged man in green military fatigues, his arms crossed over his chest.

"If you were truly that heartless, then I might as well be dead. Besides, I know you would never treat me that way, because you love me!" Chi Xue laughed brightly, completely unbothered by the suffering she had just endured.

Yi Yuanfei and Princess Changqing both watched with indifference. Was it not always like this? Everyone was desperate to worm their way into the royal family.

It was too noisy. What had the deposed crown prince done? The affairs of the world were the affairs of the imperial house. On what grounds was Yan Kejing making such a racket?

The folded pancake was stuffed with so much sauce, bacon, and vegetables that it wouldn't even close. Wu Ji hurriedly took the plastic bag, while the lettuce leaves at the very top fluttered to the ground.

"This... of course, it's about what you just mentioned, you know..." I, already thin-skinned, found myself acting coy for a moment.

The Lu family had once been a prominent and illustrious clan of the former Changsheng Dynasty, second only to the royal family in power. Even after submitting to the Yu Kingdom, they had been regarded with suspicion by the Yu Emperor for years. Now, with such an incident occurring, it was feared that the entire Lu family would cease to exist.

Yan Xiyue nodded with a cryptic smile. She said nothing, lowering her head to eat her stir-fried noodles and drink her porridge, though her eyes were filled with suppressed amusement.

Han Yu sat beside her and tucked the thin blanket around her, his thin lips curling slightly. "Qianqian lacks a campus romance and a proper confession from a man, so she is quite fond of the term 'boyfriend'."

The news feeds were truly chaotic. They only ever followed the entertainment section; in their stolen moments of leisure, who had the time to care about how much money some big boss had made? It wasn't as if they would get a share of it.

Two days later, Jiang Yao bought a residence in the middle of the area to the southwest of the Yi estate.

When Su Chen returned, he did not show much expression, but there was a trace of annoyance in his brow at being disturbed.

"What!?" Bai Chen’s mouth fell open, his face full of shock. If the facts were as Zuo Ci’s avatar had claimed, passing this second trial would be a massive problem.

The Emperor had left Xuan Le some shred of dignity, which was why Geng Biao did not launch a surprise attack but instead revealed his identity. The implication was for the other party to recognize the futility of their position and stop looking for trouble.

For the first time, I felt the bus was incredibly slow. If this dragged on any longer, it would be close to six o'clock, and Ye Cheng might arrive.

She was Xuan Yue’s best friend, perhaps even her closest companion. But she was not Xuan Yue.

Every house Ma Wei found had a contract signed the day before, only for the landlord to call the next day and say they would no longer rent it out.

His fist collided with the black sea tide, producing a heaven-shaking roar. The black waves seemed to shatter, transforming into countless droplets of black rain and mist that dissipated in all directions.

"The other two river-crossing points are currently in hiding, standing by. Until the Soviet mobile forces are mobilized, the other two crossing points won't be able to achieve anything significant," said Wan Yaohuang.

On the weeds atop the outer wall, there were yellow, triangular flags with characters that could not be deciphered. There were only five flags in total along the entire outer wall; if one wasn't paying attention, they would be impossible to see.

Hearing her say this, everyone’s gaze converged on Qiao Yu, clearly curious about what he had encountered.
