Volume One, Chapter 65: We Live in a Society Governed by Law

Not only him, but everyone present showed expressions of disbelief. It was only after they passed around the materials on the table and examined each one that they finally accepted the truth, and the entire conference room fell into a deep silence.

After speaking, he deftly dodged Linda's invisible kick, boarded the car with elegance, leaving Linda stomping her feet in frustration, unwillingly slapping her thigh so hard that Erwang's wrist hurt, her face filled with despair.

But there was no other way. Whether it was to save Qingming's child or to investigate the lair of the Sea Demon Clan, the journey to the South Sea was imperative.

The stone gate stood about two meters tall and one and a half meters wide, thick and imposing, flanked by two rather unusual tomb guardians.

In fact, Zhang Yifan had already used an advanced profession-switching chip once; the chip before him could not be used again, but he intended to buy it for Shield Gui. Shield Gui's skills were unquestionable, among the best. Adding another profession would make her even more formidable.

If the Heavenly Spirit Sect couldn't muster six Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they wouldn't even have the qualification to challenge the Xuanwu Gate.

Sasuke did not answer Naruto's question; his eyes were bloodshot, and the scarlet Sharingan appeared suddenly, fixed upon Kakashi's corpse.

After a day's cultivation, Kakashi realized that while his innate talent for Sage Techniques might not match Naruto's, he was far stronger than Jiraiya and Minato-sensei.

"When a person dies alone, everything disappears—his past, present life, and even his future all vanish together."

"Sigh, this is so damn boring! Looks like I won't be able to watch today's match after all!" a player remarked, bored out of his mind.

The Zhuge clan was a prominent family in Langye; their ancestor Zhuge Feng served as Chief Inspector during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han, and Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui, was the Deputy Governor of Taishan Commandery at the end of the Eastern Han.

The Black Saber, Siegfried, wore a solemn expression—whether attacking or defending, advancing or retreating, his face revealed no emotion. The massive sword, nearly as tall as himself, moved as an extension of his arm, sweeping out blade-light after blade-light with his will.

Wei Mo Mie led his men into the domain of the Star God Temple, and even as they entered, someone rode ahead to report to the main hall. The speed of Wei Mo Mie's party was astonishing; the Star God Temple's messenger arrived with news in the early morning, and Wei Mo Mie's group reached Xinglong City by noon. Now, the Star God Temple was no longer a level-five temple, its power greatly diminished.

In Sun Yumeng's heart, Xiaolu City was indeed impressive, but he was also a man with a moral baseline. The entire night, the two kept a considerable distance between them, the spacious double bed holding not even a trace of ambiguity.

People immediately pulled out their phones, some calling relevant personnel, others searching online for information.

That's human nature—everyone fears to take the lead, but when someone does, if you remain motionless, how will the Overlord view you in the future? There will be no good consequences for you.

In the end, Duan Xu never provided any answers, and the matter naturally faded away.

"Alright! I get it! You go about your business, I'll handle this!" Chen Zhaojun said, hanging up the phone.

At this moment, Sun Yumeng was so excited she nearly cried. She never imagined she could meet her idol in person one day—something she had never dared to dream.

The choice was actually simple, much like picking a QQ avatar; most people would simply opt for custom settings, and Sun Yumeng was no exception, clicking without hesitation.

That cultivator said, "Brother, you're joking. No matter how precious the talisman paper is, if unused, it's nothing but waste paper."

Then, Ye Tian thought carefully for a moment, and a cold smile flashed across his face.

What the Lü clan said was the truth, but Ma Yin only boasted before her, claiming he would soon be an official in the capital, and out of nostalgia, brought her from Qianzhou to Chang'an, making her believe it was the highest position imaginable.

Because of his hatred for Ibeke, Chief Aska's rage could not be vented, and his furious roar was tantamount to sentencing the fiery clansmen in the city who had taken up arms—whether to resist or surrender—to death.

Gerard was once again absent from the starting lineup; ever since Klopp arrived, Gerard's appearances had decreased, and Zhang Yuan often played with the captain's armband.

The commandant knew the emperor was accompanying Xu Ren in playing with dogs, so no one moved at the Xuanwu Gate, and Xu Ren, in a moment of desperation, rammed himself against the city wall—which was a responsibility no one dared to bear, so an urgent report was sent to Daming Palace.

Di Renjie not only took the letter but opened it in front of Zhang Wuchen, reading it carefully. Zhang Wuchen knew it was because Di Renjie feared collusion between Wang Bo and others, yet he felt no impatience, quietly waiting for Di Renjie to finish.

Still, it wasn't that Li Xian had no expectations. This was a major opportunity for profit; Li Xian wanted to become Crown Prince and had requests to make. If he didn't seize the chance to extort, to profit amid chaos, that wouldn't be his style.

Watching the father and son deepening their bond, Yang Ye rose and went out onto the balcony, gazing into the distance, his mind in turmoil.

There could only be one reason: Zhu Yuanzhang himself was powerless. After all, eradicating banditry could not be accomplished overnight, nor could it be done merely with passion. To truly solve the problem, real effort must be invested.

"I love you..." When her voice sounded, she finally came back to herself, a trace of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.

"So, what do you mean?" Gu Chu Jian slowly lifted his head, knowing the other party was referring to Qiu Mubai.

Meanwhile, locked in a stalemate with Arima, Rize Kamishiro's remaining kagune turned into spears, blocking attacks from the five Special Investigators surrounding her.
