Chapter 136: The Person That Is Navali Evans (Part I)
When Navali Evans was very young, the world as he saw it was defined by the endless Sierra Madre mountains that encircled his village. Navali’s mother was Mexican, as was his father, but after he turned ten and was brought to the United States by his mother, his surname was changed to "Evans"—the name of his stepfather, a man of few words who worked as an American truck driver. However, for Navali Evans, he always felt a certain...
Ji Tong was rattled by the look in He Lan-yao’s eyes. He glanced at Long Shaoyan, who had remained expressionless from the start, and couldn't help but feel that Long's demeanor suggested he was already accustomed to such situations. Seeing this, Ji Tong no longer dared to threaten He Lan-yao.
People like them are difficult to deal with; to a desperate man, money is everything. As for the law and the future, those are things that have nothing to do with them.
Forget hunting; today was mainly about fishing. He needed to head to the dam upstream. Lori had asked him to bring along a package of jerky, hoping that if possible, he could deliver it to the Frog Clan. He wondered if little Wa-bao, with those big, watery eyes, would get to taste such a treat.
Many people at the sales company resented him, but given his background, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Xue Zi shook her head in silent ignorance. Su Ruhui understood the nature of her master; if she said she did not know, then she truly did not know. Though she felt a flicker of disappointment, she reflected that Lady Yinghua was, after all, merely a discarded consort of the late Emperor Changtai and had no real connection to her, so there was no need to dig so deep.
The humans and demons around them looked at Su Zheng with strange expressions, and even the members of the spirit race gazed at him with peculiar intensity. Most striking were the two bull horns atop his head, which had not only grown large and thick but also radiated a domineering, demonic light, making him appear like the reincarnation of a bull demon god.
The people in the room had already settled into their positions. Long Shaoyan lay back down, while Li Xin and Ning Ruxi knelt respectfully on the ground.
"If you are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, why can't I have three husbands and four suitors? If I am to be considered that, then you are nothing but a degenerate," Mao Leyan argued, hands on her hips.
"Such a clandestine matter, one that even my mother has never heard of, yet Prince Liang is aware of it. Empress Zhou is truly formidable," Gan Ran mused for a moment, speaking in a low, measured tone.
The soul of the God of War roared beneath the starry sky as Ling Tian suddenly stretched out his Heaven-Prisoning Hand, snatching toward the fragment of the divine artifact's lid.
Just at that moment, I suddenly heard a commotion from above, as if some emergency had occurred. Then, I heard shouts, and immediately after, several black shadows came tumbling down through the opening of the well.
If it wasn't from the Sword Gate, how could the Immortal of Myriad Phenomena know these details so thoroughly?
"I don't know. He only relayed the message to one of my subordinates, and he was wearing a black mask—we have no idea what he looks like!" Muluo said, trembling with fear.
At this moment, the giant tiger was furious. It let out a ferocious roar in my direction, looking as if it were determined to tear me apart.
"Director Li, it’s Captain Guan! Captain Guan jumped down!" Guan Jingyi's subordinates could no longer sit still.
Sister Liang, however, seemed unfazed. She invited me to eat and drink, and she was clearly in high spirits, downing several glasses in a row.
Wang Ying’s voice echoed outside the breakroom. Her tone sounded both anxious and indignant, as if she truly hated me.
"Hmph, I can still obtain your assets after killing you, so that reason doesn't hold!" Hua Ming refused to back down.
"Ma Tianlong, what nonsense are you spouting?" Before Hua Ming could speak, Liu Yan rebuked Ma Tianlong with a sharp, scolding tone.
Old Lai Zi and the mysterious phantom entity were shocked to see a dense swarm of enemies flying out from the Golden Palace. Old Lai Zi immediately summoned the Taiji Diagram and launched it toward the leaf.
