Volume One, Chapter 77: The Arrogant Confidence

As they walked to within fifty or sixty meters of the new house, a dark silhouette appeared, swaying at the doorway. Drawing closer, they realized it was truly Wang Kun. Autumn mosquitoes were still plentiful, but fortunately, as this area was on the outskirts, without illumination, male mosquitoes generally wouldn’t attack animals.

“Want to leave? Not so easy!” Zhang Xia’s hand struck out fiercely, her fingers clawed, reaching for Tang Qi’s shoulder.

Fear and dread spread like contagion; the string of screams and cries turned the atmosphere unbearably tense and terrifying. Those inside the house, their mental states became confused and panicked.

Heaven had granted him a second chance at life. Though he remained a seed of many affections, in this lifetime, he was determined to shoulder the responsibilities of a man.

With Xiao Cheng’s mastery of flight, moving at an almost imperceptible speed, how could Cao Jingde possibly escape? In the blink of an eye, Xiao Cheng flashed ahead, blocking Cao Jingde’s path some ten meters away.

Liu Peng, skeptical, approached the window and peered inside. Sure enough, it was as they said—the effect of the lesson was almost nonexistent. Out of ten students, perhaps two listened attentively, and even then, whether they absorbed anything was questionable.

They could still line up obediently. But if there were no preparations and they simply proceeded, the consequences would be exceedingly dangerous.

From a tactical standpoint, targeting Indonesia was evidently the best course of action—much easier than dealing with other countries by a considerable margin.

The party committee members widened their eyes. What was going on today? The meeting had only just begun, and already the top leaders had rolled up their sleeves, ready for a contest of strength! Clearly, this meeting would be eventful. Each one straightened in their seat, preparing for a war of words.

“For any wild cat daring to invade the village, they should all be killed!” declared Tuan Zang, the car accident survivor, who followed the two elders.

Hearing that the governor himself had come out to greet him, Zhang Jun felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. He hurriedly bowed with reverent fear.

According to Liang Jingbai, leaving the child behind would be a disaster. But if the child changed from being hers and Lu Ang’s to hers and Liang Jingbai’s—would it no longer be a disaster?

Now, Liu Yingrong, beset by repeated misfortunes, had lost the wit and composure of the capital’s foremost young gentleman. Clutching Rong Fei’s arm, she urged him anxiously.

“An eye for an eye, when will it end?” When Tian Liu returned to the family compound of the Education Bureau, she found the two glass panes of her house smashed to bits, though she had no idea who was responsible.

When the tricycle stopped at the Lu family’s door, Father Lu told Xu Nan and Lu Nanzhou to get off first; he would return the tricycle.

Once again, I thank you for granting me the opportunity to share stories from real life. Thank you, editor, for your encouragement which has filled me with confidence.

Yet, seeing Ji Rou’er’s pitiful expression, Murong Qiushui’s carefully cultivated fury dissipated instantly. All the words of reproach he’d prepared vanished from his mind.

But it was only a moment; the gaunt man quickly regained his composure, turned, and smiled.

Why did he do this? Hadn’t he said he didn’t like her, that he wished she’d disappear from his world completely?

It was unclear whether the exotic fragrance permeating the town was the work of the monster itself, or whether it relied on some strange concoction.

“Hmph, do you think I’ll be intimidated by your threats? What does the Mu family have to do with me? If you want to kill, then kill. But I guarantee your fate will be worse than his!” As Qianji Mountain spoke, the divine flame energy began to radiate from his body, appearing from afar as a scarlet fire blazing in midair.

The tension peaked in that instant. Nanxi stood inexplicably by the car door, surrounded.

Liang Yongqing, the company’s new hire, was a GIA graduate from America, and had won numerous design awards in recent years. Among the newcomers, she was outstanding, and the favorite to win this competition. Even before the contest began, her value had risen sharply.

“Oh, that’s good. I’m staying at his house—he and his brother saved me.” In that case, they are my benefactors. Although I didn’t want to share these details with a stranger, since I owed them, I could only answer obediently.

Nanxi dared not ask what had happened. She was just a chauffeur, unwilling and unable to know too much.

“Yes!” Qi Yi snapped to attention. Why was Qi Yi the groomsman? Still, he was pretty decent today, like a medieval knight.

Zhuo Ling’s gaze sharpened, his muscles taut. He didn’t believe that Xu Beiguan’s men would shoot someone in their room. “You want to fire? Your safety’s not off,” he reminded.

As the prisoner was loaded onto the van and the door was about to close, Nanxi called out urgently, “Thank you for all your help. I... Don’t die...” Before she could finish, the door slammed shut, cutting off all contact with Ou Guan.

Her ability to express herself and socialize was extremely weak; that was why she spent weekends working part-time instead of going shopping with her roommates.

No matter how the distance changed, a ray of sunlight always hovered above Xu Zhong’s head, illuminating the illusions around him and locking him in place.

As for the practice of buying from the official shop and reselling at high prices in the auction house, it was essentially a problem of the official shop’s production capacity. Once production caught up, there would be no shortage.

Riding from the base through several tunnels crossing mountain peaks, Di Feng arrived at a new valley base.

Emperor Lin: The murderous aura just now came from this guy. Who is he, really?

Fortunately, after a phone call, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao drove their luxury car home.

Jiang Xuan hadn’t expected to run into Su Haohao. The next moment, seeing her take a few steps back, he misunderstood, his gaze dimmed, expressionless, he turned away and left.

“So, I could sever your arm?” Xu Zhong looked at the severed arm of Gongsun Pushi lying on the ground.

Watching the screen as Xia Yu first knocked down Old Tiger Huang, then outboxed him until he curled up, and finally snatched Huang’s dagger to ‘counterkill’, Min Zhen was completely convinced that Xia Yu had acted only in self-defense.

“Can you lift your head?” Ji Miaohan spoke gently to Xia Yu. Though there are countless people in the world who resemble each other, even some who look exactly alike, if there was a chance to find him, Ji Miaohan would never let it slip.

“Haha, that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard...” That senior brother laughed heartily to the heavens. Why did so many people like to laugh this way? Did it feel especially satisfying?
