Chapter 44: Sparks Fly When In-Laws Meet
On the other end, after receiving the message "Be ready to act at any moment" from Shi Jing, Sakuraba Hikaru was preparing to lead his men and storm the island.
However, after that, all attempts to contact Shi Jing failed. Coincidentally, Sakura Baiwen also rushed over.
After discussing the situation, the father and son decided to hold off for the time being and establish contact with Shi Jing first.
After all, their opponent was Meng Qingru, the head of the Shi family, so it was naturally wiser to proceed with caution.
"I wish to see Liu Yi. I wonder if Master Wu would grant this request," I looked at Wu Yuan and asked.
Meanwhile, at a different location, Wu Chang wore a look of utter astonishment. He had been watching from the sidelines while Chen Luo and the others fought, and moments ago, he had been shaken to the core by Chen Luo's combat prowess.
The term phantom projection here refers to the fabrication of false memories, cleverly and seamlessly integrated into the target's real memories without leaving a single trace. This was the bewitching power of the Demonic Eye, capable of deluding enemies and altering their perception of reality.
The three-year period had passed, and Li Huaqing could no longer hold on. On a night when thousands upon thousands of pear blossoms were in full bloom, holding a wooden box, she finally closed her eyes forever. A faint smile still lingered on the corners of her lips. She departed amidst happy memories, having spent her brief life embracing the wooden box and her memories of An Chen.
Although he was currently at the half-step Heavenly Heart Grand Pill realm, an uncrossable chasm still separated him from a genuine Heavenly Heart Master, even with the aid of two secret seals that enhanced his power, alongside supreme arts like the Nine Heavens Crimson Thunder Sword and the Great Demonic Sword.
Su Wangniang exercised caution. Unsure whether the imperial envoy and the deeply paranoid emperor might have sent people to tail her in secret, she did not go directly to the Han family estate.
She had been pondering how to deal with Fang Zheng, but since no opportunity presented itself, this good-for-nothing was simply here to while away the time, merely taking a cursory glance at the sights—there was no need for her to deal with him at all.
After exhausting his bullets, Min Xiao tossed his pistol onto the ground, lit three cigarettes and placed them on the earth, then lit another one for himself. Taking a drag, he knelt down and kowtowed three times. I had no idea to whom those three kowtows were offered.
I did not make a move, because after such a grueling ordeal, the boss's health bar was already practically depleted.
I squatted down and patted the Second Master's body, feeling something hard near his chest. Pulling it out, I discovered it was a letter, and upon opening it, I found the handwriting scrawled and messy.
Following their amicable breakup, Liu Bin did not take the keys to the old house, and Zhang Yang didn't offer them either. Yet, she had never returned here since then. On the contrary, Liu Bin would occasionally come by, open the windows for ventilation, and sweep the floors to imbue the place with a bit of human warmth.
Meanwhile, Jiu Changsheng stood quietly opposite Sagula, watching him expressionlessly with no intention of intervening, looking as though he intended to wait until Sagula had exhausted every single one of his trump cards.
"Mr. Hu, I specialize in intractable and strange illnesses. But as you know, difficult conditions require an immense investment of energy, so my consultation fee is extremely high. Can you afford it?" Wang Wei asked, looking at the smug Hu Ruisheng.
What kind of concept was this? Back in 2003, it would have undoubtedly made the top five hundred enterprises in China. While breaking into the top one hundred might have been uncertain, a spot in the top two hundred was guaranteed. And this was considering the inclusion of colossal state-owned enterprises and multinational giants; if one were to look solely at private enterprises, it would comfortably secure a place in the top twenty.
The more brilliantly Lilith grew, the deeper Isabella's admiration for her father became.
Pulled back to reality once again by Zi Yuning, Chu Ming gave her a deep look and his lips moved slightly.
Yan suddenly felt his hands gently grasped by two large hands. Turning his head, he saw One, whose eyes alone remained clear and untouched by the shroud of black miasma.
Whispering softly to himself, An Liexun sighed, and then abruptly spat out a droplet of his vital essence.
