Chapter 48: Isn't the answer obvious at a glance? (Voting appreciation bonus chapter)
As the Chief of the Qiling Star Security Bureau, he knew all too well that when immortals fight, the mortals suffer the collateral damage. Navigating skillfully between powerful parties was his credo in life. Although the Commander of the Tenth District Army was the weakest and most inconspicuous among all the district commanders, he was still a district commander nonetheless. As a humble bureau chief, he could not afford to offend him. Lianshen, who stood right behind him, was the apple of the Tenth District Army Commander’s eye. He couldn't afford to offend her either.
The Tenth District Army Commander was right about one thing. The "King of Navigation" tournament could be described as a grand spectacle for maritime players. The rule that ships would be restored after the match finally allowed those players who owned warships but were reluctant to risk them in actual naval battles to experience the thrill of sea combat. As for how far they, completely devoid of naval warfare experience, could go in the competition remained anyone's guess.
When Crystal arrived at the vanguard of the Orc fleet with the double-masted Elven Treant warship, Gangzi had already completed the encirclement and annihilation of the Orc ships that were trying to intercept them, and was once again pursuing the Orc fleet.
All of Cao Junhui's photos had been taken on the sly. Rumored to be a pawn controlled by that criminal gang, he had recently been in frequent contact with the fraud syndicate, which was why he was being targeted as a person of interest.
Stepped on the foot by his younger sister, Gu Liangchen showed not a trace of anger. Instead, with a good-natured and attentive demeanor, he began to wait on her hand and foot, picking food for her and bantering to keep her amused, practically putting on the act of an impeccably filial and devoted brother.
During his early morning exercise, Shen Qing unsurprisedly caught sight of Yan Yi once again. Maintaining a straight face and pulling the collar of his athletic jacket tighter around his neck, he completely ignored Yan Yi’s cheeky and cheerful greeting and strode right past him.
Naturally, Jiang Ping had no intention of discussing such a matter with others. He simply sat silently inside the Beetle, making final preparations for the race. At that very moment, the passenger door was pulled open, and Wei Zixin also climbed in looking quite huffed and puffy.
Gu Meijing and her brother had planned everything out quite well; they would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home together. Unfortunately, they merely shared a lunch at home before afternoon arrived, bringing a relentless barrage of phone calls from Wei Ting, Xu Jun, and the others, insisting that they all get together again.
With this thought in mind, Gu Meijing casually canceled the video call and hung up the phone as well, abruptly cutting off the voices echoing from her mobile device.
Wu Qi had never expected that someone would tail him. He drove straight to the exterior of a café and parked his car. It appeared he had already arranged to meet someone here.
The power of the Five Elements Deities infused into the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Sword made Duan Lingtian’s striking force even superior to that of quite a few titled Immortal Emperors.
Yun Xuchen lowered his gaze for a long moment, and when he raised it again, a faint smile actually lingered at the corners of his lips. Shui Niang was instantly stunned into a daze.
Liu Yiyi was increasingly inclined to feel that this Ye Wu must be up to some kind of mischief. She felt somewhat conflicted, wondering whether she should actually go or not.
Curiously, Liang Meng's angry interrogations gradually dissipated bit by bit into Yun Xuchen's retreating figure.
As fists and palms collided, Han Lei stumbled backward continuously for several steps, while the black-robed skeleton only retreated a step and a half, its right hand never leaving the bone saber the entire time. This clearly demonstrated that even with the amplification of the Great Spirit God Tianyuan, Han Lei's strength still fell short of the black-robed skeleton's.
"Alright, you need to learn your lesson and cultivate diligently. This world is cruel. Only the strong can stand their ground," Zhao Chen patted Rong Cheng on the shoulder and said earnestly.
At that moment, upon receiving a phone call, the store manager's expression toward Ye Xuanfeng changed in an instant.
"What nonsense are you two chatting about?" A familiar voice sounded. Xiao Zhuo turned his head and caught sight of Ling Yi dressed in a white lab coat.
The hands of all five people suddenly felt empty, and without even thinking, they knew what had happened. Realizing the situation, they no longer persisted and each produced a jade stone, crushing it instantly in their palms.
She didn't even have to come here following the police; she was merely curious—curious to see what Wang Deyu would do next.
She was not like Jian Yu, who had gone the entire morning without eating. Although she was a servant, her three daily meals were always served punctually.
