Volume One, Chapter 22: Fire in the Backyard

Chun Yinzi stared at Lu Fei in utter astonishment, then, as if sensing something, he looked up toward the sky.

I will establish a company dedicated to the study of mutant genetics. With no shortage of funding or scientists, as long as we can secure enough time, humanity will surely unlock the mysteries of the mutant gene.

"Then I will go and hold off Hidan. Right now, I have the most chakra, and since I’m not much use in a direct fight anyway, I’ll use the Mind Transfer Jutsu..." Ino said.

Meng Cangyun had expected him to carry her over just as he had done before; she had even reached out her hand, but in the blink of an eye, he had already left.

Among the six members of the Demon Realm, Sabretooth was undoubtedly the most experienced in combat. Coupled with the fact that he wielded the most powerful magical artifact, dealing with the eight remaining Sentinels was no problem at all.

Yes, it made money! Fifty chips were placed across thirty-six numbers; some numbers even received two chips each.

After escorting Bao'er back to her sleeping chamber, Qingluan and Hongluan were on their way back to Nami Palace when Hongluan finally couldn't help but voice the doubts in her heart.

As the soldiers guarding the stockade gate were about to lower the ropes to close it, An Jingsi threw a handful of stones, wounding them. Seizing the opportunity, Xu Zhi charged through the gate, leading the way.

Sasori immediately released his right wrist, revealing a sharp blade hidden within, intending to assassinate Chiyo, but he found that he couldn't move his body.

In such a perilous situation, Old Cat suddenly stopped. Because of Zhang Cheng's input, Zhang Cheng needed him to halt and shift his gaze to assess the circumstances.

The old butler looked at the two and nodded repeatedly; having finally found a path to success, he could not give up under any circumstances.

"If you feel that it is unfilial, then today I shall give you an opportunity to show your filial piety," she said, pulling him down to sit on a mahogany chair.

When discussing serious business, he acted indifferent, but the moment money was mentioned, he became as protective as a tiger guarding its prey.

"Luo Xue, Luo Xue..." The calls, growing louder with each repetition, startled Dongzhi from her deep sleep. She opened her eyes to find a hazy, white expanse all around her. Where was she? How did she end up here?

Because they had purchased it as a joint venture, the two divided the damaged, incomplete armor, each taking half to wear.

Lying on the bed, she counted the gilded cloud patterns on the canopy over ten times. Unable to endure it any longer, she struggled to sit up; this wasn't recuperating, it was wasting away.

In such situations, parents should strive to understand their children's circumstances rather than blindly blaming them for feigning illness.

Her mind flickered as she recalled that, fearing discovery, she had taken the formula out of her clothes and hidden it under her pillow.

And so, led by Ram, they arrived at the west side of the mansion. The Roswaal Manor consisted of a central main building, with the east and west wings connected by corridors—a structure totaling three buildings. The dining room and Roswaal’s office were in the main building, while the servants' quarters were located in the west wing.

At this moment, a murderous aura surged on Black Brother's face, and Matthew and the others were already trembling with fear at the intensity of it.

At that moment, he was focused on wiping his bow and arrows, using a piece of golden silk cloth to carefully remove every speck of dust. He was so engrossed that he did not notice Xiang Yu had already entered his tent.

"Stop!" Xiang Yu shouted upon seeing the scene. If they truly engaged in a death match, Guan Sheng would likely have been finished off by Dian Wei by now.

"Hum!" The white markings on Kratos’s body all lit up, emitting rings of silver light that swirled around him. As the rings floated up and down his body, he began to recover miraculously.

Though this silence was enjoyable, it suddenly gave rise to a sense of foreboding in the hearts of Liang Fei and Lone Wolf.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?" Liu Jiaojiao asked, puzzled and bewildered as she watched Li Qingfeng puncture the remaining three tires, letting the air hiss out.

Xu Mengyao clearly did not intend to let Li Qingfeng off the hook; even with her superior having spoken, she insisted on detaining him.

The experienced jade gamblers shook their heads; none of them believed that any jade could actually be extracted from this raw stone.

"Marshal, we have secured the walls. Now, we only need to hold the city gates so that the fruits of our victory are not snatched away by the Allied Forces!" Guo Jia said.

"Listen well, all of you: this is the son of Third Master Li, and the heir to the Li family. Do you understand?" Chen Tiangang said with a cold sneer to the two bodyguards at the door.

But as the car approached, we realized it was not the one Chen Zhibin had been driving.

It was evident that the old patriarch took pride in his own learning; with his level of knowledge and insight, he naturally had some grasp of opera. Now, as he spoke of Peking Opera, he did so with great authority.

Although Tezuka Yuri was a student and the school had maps, they were not accessible to an ordinary student like her, so she could only rely on her memory and Yurei's account to find her way home.

After watching for a while, I suddenly felt that being a financial news anchor seemed quite cool. Everyone could see me speaking, and I could provide people with financial and economic information; I liked this profession.

The only thing they could do for now, in this era where monsters frequently appeared, was to do their best to maintain peace on Earth.

PS: Some classmates have said the updates are slow; honestly, they are indeed slow. But the Hall Master has been extremely busy these days, and managing to release a chapter in the early hours of the morning is already the best I can do.

Xun Baiyu’s expression was calm, a stark contrast to his state in the previous matches. His aura suddenly surged, and although he was locked on by Xuanyuan Kuang, he stepped out of his attack range in a single move. At the same time, he waved his hands repeatedly, though nothing appeared to emerge, leaving people feeling somewhat perplexed.

When Huang Kunren heard me say this, his body trembled slightly. Although it was subtle, I had indeed seen it. Perhaps he, like me, really liked that author's manuscripts and was momentarily shocked upon hearing the news of his death.

Guan Xiaojun had some knowledge of antiques and porcelain, but at first, he didn't understand why the expert said, "Porcelain also has a spirit; the rise and fall of dynasties also affects it," because in his view, firing porcelain was merely a technique, unrelated to the strength of a nation.
