Chapter 49: Keep Showing Off, Go Ahead!
Tian Chuying found out about this mainly because the commotion was simply too big. On the day that vice factory director was taken away under guard, crowds went out onto the streets to watch the spectacle, and it even made the newspapers later on.
It was rumored that he had been involved in some illicit activities and was investigated by the higher-ups, who subsequently uncovered a slew of wrongdoings, such as abusing his power and securing jobs for unqualified individuals.
Ever since Vice Director Zeng met his downfall, his entire family was implicated; they lost their jobs and became targets of universal condemnation.
Just as Tian Chuying finished recounting the affairs of the Zeng family—
At this thought, a treacherous gleam flashed in the eyes of the fierce beasts, and every single one of them grew restless with eager anticipation.
Wei Yang giggled softly. Old Madam Wei was so self-righteous; being rebuffed by the "people at the bottom" would only infuriate her all the more.
Suddenly, the faint sound of footsteps came from behind, drawing closer and closer. When she turned around, she finally saw clearly who had arrived.
As for Xuzhu, he had inherited the lifelong cultivation of three supreme masters of the Xiaoyao Sect, protected by the Northern Darkness True Qi, impervious to swords and blades, immune to all poisons, and endowed with countless ultimate martial arts techniques—he was practically playing the game with cheats enabled.
Yet he suddenly opened his eyes, smiled at her, and with a sweep of his long arm, pulled her into his embrace, kissing her lips first.
Mu Rongzheng sat there, looking at Cheng En. Her emotions were written almost entirely across her face; at this moment, she was uneasy and flustered, not daring to raise her head nor meet his gaze.
"Hmm?" Han Feng's expression hardened. He unleashed all the aura from his body, forming an invisible pressure that enveloped Haji.
Shengyuan, however, was different. Just moments ago, he had been hanging by a thread and was almost beaten to a pulp by Ling Han. Fortunately, he managed to break through to a higher realm at the very last second; otherwise, not even the celestial deities could have saved him.
Xue Lian's expression turned resolute. All the spiritual energy and soul power within her suddenly surged violently, and right before she turned to ashes, she fiercely pulled Zhu Ting into her arms, a deep and obsessive love flashing in her eyes.
The man with the afro realized he wouldn't gain any advantage today, so he let out a roar at Qin Fen and fled in a scramble, tumbling and crawling away.
"It doesn't seem necessary!" Fake A फैंस replied coldly. To him, he had grown somewhat weary of the humans here.
Through the time Qin Fen spent interacting with these pirates, influenced by his subtle guidance, they had undergone some changes. Furthermore, Qin Fen learned that the majority of them had not actually volunteered to become pirates in the first place, which stirred a wellspring of emotions within him.
Madam Jin, however, had no intention of letting Zhao Zhengce off. She kept clinging to him, pestering him until Zhao Zhengce had exhausted almost every joke he could remember from the internet in his past life, before she finally drifted off to a smiling sleep.
The Queen Mother of the West did not know how to comfort him either; anyone who knew such a fate had befell them would find it hard to truly let go of the knot in their heart.
Just as Wudi landed gracefully on the ground, the other twelve earth-dragons—save for the massive alpha that closely resembled a Tyrannosaurus rex—all trembled simultaneously, and their ferocious footsteps came to a halt.
As the words faded, a ball of golden light suddenly appeared in the burly man's hand. The golden light rapidly expanded and elongated, and within mere moments, a golden knight's lance about three meters long materialized before everyone's eyes.
Long Guzhi had no idea what to do either at this moment, but after calming down, she instead felt that this Black Witch Spring posed no harm to Sister Li.
"Alright, I'll go find Minister Wang this afternoon, and I'll report back to you as soon as there's a result." Zhao Zhengce's words were exceedingly respectful, his face full of gratitude.
"..." The host, who had long since prepared all sorts of conversational openings, choked abruptly, momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
He blocked the drinks for Wang Meiqi purely out of fraternal affection, not wanting her to be taken advantage of by others.
Seeing that an exceptionally handsome man had come to pick up An'an, the kindergarten teacher fought hard to suppress her infatuation and smiled, nodding at Mu Chen.
Deposing a sect master's personal disciple was no small matter; Lu Xinghuan could not afford to ignore the need for stability within the blazing sun sect, nor could he disregard Ling Yi's emotional state.
One second he was still deep in sleep, and the next, his eyes flew wide open. Springing to his feet in a single bound, he unleashed a flurry of kicks toward the direction from which the oppressive momentum was bearing down.
