Chapter 25

"Nothing much, just curious about this little brother!" Jin Jingjing chuckled, wearing a look of complete innocence.

The men paid her no more mind. The one in the face mask took over the driving; it seemed they intended to travel through the night.

Upon hearing the name, Wen Meifang’s gentle, beautiful face clouded with displeasure. She furrowed her brows slightly, cast a side-glance at her husband, then withdrew her gaze to instruct the domestic helper.

"Kexin, this is Fu Yun’s meal. This is your chance to shine. Just tell him I have work and simply couldn't get away," Lin Xixi said.

"Oof, ouch!" With a miserable cry, that "fellow who might possibly come" crashed straight into Andein’s feet.

Could it be that the mountain cannot hold two tigers, and the Emperor finally lost his patience, wishing to reclaim the half of the military power held by the Prince of Zhenbei?

On the way back, Lin Xiao stole glances at Lin Xixi’s expression. It was indeed rather grim, but he was completely baffled—what on earth had happened?

Seeing him like this, Madam Liao, though unsure of who had made the earlier call, knew that something major had occurred and couldn't help but speak up.

At the end of the day, this was the reason Tang Yuan and Tang Ming adamantly opposed Luo Qi being with Tang Qing: Luo Qi was an ordinary mortal whose life was finite; he could not remain by his sister’s side forever.

The Lin Group was heavily guarded. Finding she couldn't intercept him at the company, Sui Kexin followed Lin Xixi home.

Lin Feng nodded, took a deep breath, grabbed a nearby chair, and lunged at one of the men in black. With a loud "bang," the wooden chair shattered, and the man collapsed instantly, blood streaming from his head.

The photos struck Mu Qingai in the face, causing her to cry out in pain, but the moment she saw the images on them, she fell instantly silent.

How can you be all smiles on the surface and then bark orders at others the moment you turn your back? Do you know why Billy became a detective? Have you looked at his record? Do you know how he risked his life in that battle where several detectives and SWAT officers were killed, a man you claim isn't even fit to be a detective?

Xu Yuan knew she wasn't allowed into the operating room to assist, but this was her dearest friend, and she couldn't help but be tense and deeply concerned.

"How did you find out about my situation?" After drinking some water, his throat felt clearer, and Xia Xuanmo’s voice became much more distinct.

Fortunately, this was just a group of friends hanging out, so envy and jealousy didn't carry much weight; it wasn't enough to stir real resentment. The reason, naturally, was the simple truth that like repels like. There wasn't much reason or opportunity for a group of grown men to show off, so they mostly just watched.

Zhou Quan chatted with Doug with a smile. He made an effort to speak with every child’s parent; it was a matter of courtesy.

After a heated debate, the Transmigration Assembly reached a resolution: they agreed to let Zhang Guodong resign as Chairman of the Military Commission but retained his position as a Justice of the Military Court, while simultaneously appointing him Honorary Chairman of the Yulin Bay Military Commission by an overwhelming majority.

No one looks forward to war, but sometimes, when we know war is unavoidable, all we can do is make thorough preparations and, at the same time, secure some benefits for ourselves.

If only he weren't a prince, and if only he weren't in front of so many people, pushing his own brother toward the blade without hesitation just to save his own skin.

However, beneath the beauty hid something evil; in the thick fog not far away, a pair of ghastly green eyes was watching me.

"Of course, my pleasure." Lin Yinan understood Xu Hui’s good intentions and felt a bitter smile in his heart. His sister didn't even cherish herself, so what could he do?

Cycling through the deserted streets, Chuchu was likely tired, and she hadn't said a word the entire way. The rain fell in a steady drizzle, and before long, I was soaked to the bone.

The situation had momentarily stabilized, but batches of angels continued to pour through the four bright rings of light surrounding the Gate of Heaven. The strength of the Heavenly camp was steadily increasing as time dragged on. Perhaps these winged creatures of Heaven were also waiting for a more powerful commander to emerge.

"It’s the least I could do!" Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but reveal a smile as he spoke to Tian Ling.

When the receptionist told her someone was looking for her, she assumed it was Jinhui. When she went downstairs, however, it was Feng Yuanyuan. She had been back for so long, yet she had only ever seen her on television; they had never actually crossed paths.

It was gone! My field of vision was empty, and my right foot instinctively stepped forward again. But I had forgotten whether there was still space ahead to step into.

I patted my mount and gave a gentle cue with the reins. The Golden Vampire beneath me understood its master’s intent, turned, and dove straight downward.

Her face flushed crimson instantly. Fortunately, in the darkness, no one noticed.

—Meteor Impact Spell. One of the ultimate Earth-type magics, summoning a meteorite from beyond the heavens to deliver a devastating strike within a target area. The number of meteorites summoned and the area of impact are directly related to the mage’s level and their mastery of Earth magic.

As it turned out, when he passed through the dense forest, the trees immediately sealed the path behind him. Yet, he did not abandon his journey because of this; a young and passionate prince would inevitably be very brave.

Listening to her aunt’s words, Liang Siqi twitched her lips. But the moment she tried to force a smile, her swollen cheek pulled painfully, and she had no choice but to give up.

"Haha! Doesn't that make your big brother both innocent and helplessly dead?" Liu Jiuer burst into laughter.

It could be said that unless the Snow Fox’s own father came down, there was truly nothing that could breach this place.

The gap between us is simply too vast, at least in terms of education, and our levels are very different. So, it is only natural that a fellow like Tamu doesn't understand what the situation is or what the matter entails.
