Chapter 36: Why Was the Supreme Court Alarmed?

Song Mao was no stranger to the Jingzhao Prefecture; this was far from his first time being hauled in, and he knew the ropes all too well. His father was one of the most prominent tycoons on West Street in Yanjing, possessing vast wealth and extensive connections. Song Mao was notoriously lecherous, and kidnapping women was a recurring offense; someone had even filed a formal complaint at the Jingzhao Prefecture previously, accusing him of defiling their daughter. Fortunately, the Song family had someone on the inside at the prefecture...

This statement struck a chord with Chen Aiyong. He had made numerous calls and reached out to many people, but no one dared to intervene—that was the cold, hard reality.

Glancing at the phone on the table, Li Xiulu, feeling it was beyond his reach, dragged his heavy body upright and answered. He was in a state of total indifference, completely detached from who might be calling or what they wanted.

Keeping a college student as a mistress was the trend in high society; after all, it was a prestigious status symbol. The wealthy were all eager to maintain such arrangements to save face.

Hearing this, Liu Jing felt a pang of reluctance. To find such an easy and well-paying job elsewhere would be impossible.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hao had reached the final stage. With a sweep of his hands, he split a sphere of golden light into two. He then cast two silver streaks from his palms, which merged into each of the golden lights respectively.

Sitting to the side, Reid Patton shook his head slightly. He understood Old Patton’s anger. In this gang, the arrangement of every position was the patriarch’s prerogative; he might ask for your opinion, but he would never tolerate anyone overstepping their bounds to make decisions for him.

Most of the soldiers had long since fled without looking back, and Man Chong had no time to manage them; seeing the smoking, blasted opening, he needed to first figure out what had happened.

Ye Fan chuckled softly. Though he was unsure of his true strength or whether he could withstand a Saint Weapon, he knew his physical body had reached a limit, which would be highly advantageous for his future battle against the Heavenly Dao.

Liang Dong did not concern himself with how Johnson handled the matter. He trusted Johnson to manage all the aftermath, and when he saw the newspapers the next day, he nodded with satisfaction.

However, the rat-men were no fools; they knew they had thoroughly enraged the Great Han Empire. They had originally intended to retreat into the forest, using the complex terrain to wage guerrilla warfare against the Han army.

Lin Zhaoge, standing nearby, was stunned. But then, recalling the Dragon Seal she had seen within the Void Origin Pearl, she concluded that Tang Zhan must possess powerful cultivation techniques and had simply bypassed the ones here, choosing this specialized healing art instead.

Huang Fei stopped, and the other four young men followed suit, staring blankly at Liu Cheng.

"Do you have a decent weapon? Lend me one!" Ding Li didn't directly respond to their goodwill, instead shrugging nonchalantly. His gaze swept the area; when he left Fuxu Town, he had only brought a short dagger and was otherwise unarmed.

Besides, Sijin had been invited to help them, and now her child had been stolen right from under their noses in the camp. If they didn't provide an explanation, how could the Zhuyin Church continue to operate? If they needed to ask for help in the future, they would have no face left to do so.

Another administrator remarked, "This isn't a Trojan or a virus; it seems to be a piece of malicious software, a cheat program."

Without another thought, she rolled down the side window, leaned out, and began waving and shouting to the government soldiers outside in the local dialect.

Su Ze broke into a cold sweat, thinking: Good grief, don't tell me your boss has developed a taste for this and is planning to target other gods of rage?

Before Li Zhixing could finish his sentence, Lin Mei made a shocking move. She threw her arms around him, pressed her lips against his, and kissed him frantically, her hand reaching down to his lower body, where she firmly gripped him.
