Volume 1, Chapter 28: Flying Needles into Acupoints

At the same time, due to Manny’s status, his authority within the company surpassed his own. Seeing that Manny’s mind was made up, he had no choice but to let the matter drop.

He had calculated for a long time; the final sliver of gray energy remaining was just right for research. Too little would likely yield no results, while too much could potentially be dangerous. The current amount was perfect.

The young nobles naturally wouldn't show up at the crack of dawn to join the excitement; they waited until the banquet was about to begin before making their fashionably late arrivals. A long, colorful carpet of flowers had been laid from the street corner to the main banquet venue. Every noble’s carriage would stop at the entrance, and they would proceed to the venue on foot.

"Yes!" "You got it!" Three or four men, also wrapped in white bandages, responded as they helped each other walk over.

To do this, Jiang Ping had to put himself in Douglas's shoes and consider things from his perspective. Only then could he understand Douglas's strengths and weaknesses and deduce where he would most likely strike.

The one being challenged by Shi Kun's stare was, of course, Chegelasi. This martial arts fanatic was born with a cold temperament, even colder than Luo Kaixian’s stoic face. Faced with Shi Kun’s challenge, the cold-faced man didn't even hum; he merely glanced at him before turning his head back to keep watch.

"Let’s go to Spice Red Manor first. Once this is over, I’ll let you eat your fill," Ye Chui said with a smile.

Wei Limo obediently took another sip of tea. The taste of the hangover soup in his mouth had faded, and he naturally felt much better.

"It’s not just the perfume industry that's obvious; in fact, the entire luxury goods industry is a high-profit sector! Even for products of identical quality, the prices can be worlds apart due to brand recognition!" a scholar who looked Latino, sitting nearby, interjected at this moment.

When Lady Yironghua first entered the palace, she had captured the Emperor's gaze and snatched away the favor once held by Noble Consort Li, leaving the latter nursing a long-standing grudge.

Yue Ying knew he intended to launch an ambush from the air, so she decided to strike first. Before he could finish his sentence, she unexpectedly raised her hand, and a bolt of silver lightning shot out. With a thunderous boom, it struck a white ray of light; at the mere contact, the white light scattered like sparks flying from a hammer striking red-hot iron.

"Damn, that old guy’s marksmanship is quite accurate. We’re already hiding here, and he almost hit me," the fatty said in a low voice to me.

Young Master Ye’s camper van quickly drove to a large rock in the middle of the clearing and stopped. He then drew his gun and walked to the window to watch the cars chasing them from behind.

Just at that moment, a red shadow flew from Yue Ying’s hand, suddenly coiling around the silver pagoda, and a bolt of silver lightning struck down heavily.

Qin Shaocheng held nothing back; a cold glint shot into the sky, weaving a curtain of light in front of him... A series of crisp sounds, as dense as falling pearls, erupted as those ice blades were shredded to pieces upon hitting the light curtain.

Although the Special Operations Division and the Dragon Group both belonged to state confidential departments, one was under the Ministry of National Defense, while the other was under the Ministry of Public Security. While they were not hostile, they were competitive.

The third day of fighting was equally predictable; Liu Yu and Lu Nu both easily defeated their opponents and advanced to the final battle.

"Good!" Oshima Saburo shouted, leaping into the air and kicking toward Young Master Ye’s waist.

Seeing that I wasn't joking, Master Wu looked even more flustered; he didn't want to choose either of the two options.

Lin Fan kept dodging the attacks of the Holy Knight in front of him, then turned to strike back, but the Holy Knight was pursuing him so closely that Lin Fan was unable to cast any forbidden spells.

Ten years ago, she used a method of cultivation theft to drain Xu Ruogu of all his power, which was how she was able to navigate the entertainment industry so successfully over the following decade, gaining both money and status.

However, it was to no avail. The power of the spiritual artifact, bolstered by the terrain, exerted force beyond imagination. Before a direct confrontation could even occur, all the magical treasures were pulverized by the gale force generated by the arrows, leaving not a single scrap behind.

Shang Jingsheng was even more ruthless, directly raising the reward from one month to four months, and he didn't forget to rationalize the four one-hundred-spirit-stone reimbursements, as if it were something Lu Qingmei should have paid all along.

Although they had somewhat anticipated it, when they actually heard the Brigadier General say it, everyone’s eyes widened, and they began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"As long as Junior Sister understands. Before entering the Hundred Battles Realm, I already arranged for people to guard it, waiting for it to mature so it can be picked. With it, Junior Sister’s status in the sect will naturally rise!" Song Qian said, gently waving his folding fan.

Of course, if he could exchange even a few words with Luo Chen, he would likely charge forward without hesitation or regard for his life, even if Luo Chen told him to kill the Chakra in front of them. Of course, Luo Chen clearly wouldn't do such a thing.

It was a very soft sound, like a piece of paper being torn, but to Shang Jingsheng’s ears, it was like a thunderclap, impossible to ignore.

The Heaven Heart Legion coalition suddenly launched an attack on the Federal Allied Forces of the Aistal Federation stationed at the border of the Fran Star Sector.

The 1,900 warships of the Jimei Group’s vanguard army slowly approached the defensive positions under the watchful eyes of both commanders.

As Tie Zheng was feeling anxious, countless red arrows suddenly shot out from the blood sac. Several of them instantly pierced through the wind blades, landing on himself and Qiu Xiyu.

After peering around for a while, the half-open window slammed shut with a bang, giving Liu Erpang such a fright that he shuddered all over and hurriedly pulled back his gaze, not daring to look again.

Ten gold medals meant one million taels of gold, and one million taels of gold meant ten million taels of silver. There were a full one hundred silver medals, and the commission their auction house collected was one million taels of silver.

"Alright, I get it. You are becoming more and more like an old woman. You must take good care of yourself too." At this moment, Li Manran also replied.

"Soul Ferrying? What is that?" Neither of them had cultivation levels as high as Tang Yuan’s, nor had they practiced for as long as he had, so they didn't know much about Soul Ferrying.

"What did you do? Don’t you know? Do you think you did it flawlessly and could manipulate everyone?" Zhen Caiyu’s tone carried a helplessness born of frustration at his foolishness.

The doctor arrived and gave Yan Xi a painkiller injection. Old He then sent the driver to see the doctor off.

Gu Qing turned her back to Shen Shifen and chuckled, her shoulders trembling; she seemed to find it very funny.

She couldn't win in a fight, she was in the wrong when it came to reason, she had no allies to speak up for her, and the act of playing dumb didn't work at all in front of Dumbledore. Other than obediently accepting the arrangement, she had no other way out for the time being.

When it was time for a break again, Xing Jianfen sat on the curb, gasping for breath. Gu Qianlian fetched water and held it to her lips, letting her drink slowly.
