Chapter 28

Teasing God could no longer hold back; he knelt on one knee, clutching his chest as he coughed violently. While he had successfully wounded Mad earlier, he had been struck hard in the chest by the hilt of the opponent’s massive blade at that very moment, leaving his breathing labored.

Without another word to Guo Yi, he bent down, picked up one of the kidnapper's corpses, and flung it out the window. Before the body had even cleared the frame, a gunshot rang out. A high-velocity bullet struck the corpse, pinning it against the wall before it slumped to the ground.

Therefore, the current leadership had realized that if foreign investment could not be brought in to stimulate the local economy, Chengyu City’s economy would enter a period of terrifying atrophy. Previously, to support certain enterprises, many special approvals had been granted regarding bank loans and other areas. If this descended into a vicious cycle, the consequences would be dire.

"Enough. You yourself said who did this. That means it is not some rumor of gods or ghosts; it was surely the work of humans." Hearing this, the four of them wiped the smiles from their faces and looked at each other with solemn expressions.

"Uncle Tian, I hope you are well." Shangguan Wufeng and Bai Ya walked up to the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets and greeted him politely.

In truth, Guo Yi had no other choice. Although he had not spent much time with Tang Xiaolan, it was clear that she possessed deep expertise in antique paintings and calligraphy, and was well-versed in their restoration. With such an expert, the more they interacted, the more flaws his own amateur, shortcut-taking methods would reveal.

Li Jie lay on the bed, looking at Ling Feng thoughtfully. There were so many questions that she did not know which one to ask first.

"Damn it, what is happening?" Lin Jie looked down and discovered that the first awl had actually drilled a hole in the golden egg at his base. As each subsequent awl stacked on top, the hole grew larger. If this continued, his lower foundation would likely be pierced.

Following the sound of shattering glass, Nie Feng’s Blood Brake Shattering the Heavens lived up to its name. Like glass, it was pulverized into fragments of vital energy by Jin Chenyi’s strike. The clattering sound was incessant; with every step Jin Chenyi took, he shattered vast amounts of blood-colored energy.

Li Furong let out a silent scream, her previously groggy mind suddenly clearing. She swam like a madwoman in the direction where Guo Yi had drifted. Under her desperate strokes, the turbulent current seemed to soften. She swam, she spun, she prayed, like a persistent mermaid.

The low-chassis, brass-colored mechanical sports car was driven by a man wearing round, black-framed sunglasses, with a red scarf draped around his neck fluttering in the wind.

Ling Xi watched the scene, a look of mockery flashing in her eyes. Like a colorful butterfly, she wondered who was really the one doing the seducing.

The elevator returned from the third floor to the first in mere seconds. Was there something wrong with that?

Milo was only a hobbyist streamer who went live occasionally, so her stream lacked popularity, but her fans were very active.

Stephanie immediately thought of the time Donald had asked Victor to bury stone tablets within the city of Raynas, and she could not help but speak up.

"Please, save my child! I beg you!" The patient’s mother clutched the doctor's legs, refusing to let go, pleading bitterly.

Tang Weiwei seemed to intentionally slow the melody of the song. Her clear voice, combined with the slightly archaic rhythm, truly created a style quite different from Zhu Kuang’s exaggerated and comedic approach.

"Fifth Master, the more inconspicuous an opponent is, the less one should underestimate them. Although this Lin Nan is just a student, we must still take him seriously; we cannot afford the slightest carelessness," Gao Sheng said solemnly.

He had to find a way to change this situation. At the very least, he could not remain so thoroughly under Infinitas’s control. He had to find a way to neutralize the poison in his body.

Chi Jin had long since told her about his family situation. When she visited the Wu Mansion, Wu Chang’an and Xiang Wanqing, out of pity, had told Gu Qing plenty about Chi Jin’s past. Therefore, Gu Qing understood perfectly what those years had been like for him.

The scent of orchids had always been Mr. Chu’s signature fragrance. How did it suddenly end up on me today?

"Itana? What kind of mirror did you give me?" Aya toyed with it in surprise, finding that it looked quite ordinary, no different from any other mirror.

She followed the mountain range deep into the no-man's-land. Following the instructions in the ancient texts, she found the signs at dusk. The mark of the East’s oldest place of cultivation—West Kunlun—appeared atop the peak under the setting sun.

"I don't know his surname. He just said to call him A-Tian, and that he is the administrator of the Aris Main Fortress," I replied.

Therefore, he decided to go to the Sericulture Garden to investigate. If the problem truly lay with the Long'an Kingdom, he would think of another way to settle the people of Silver Village.

"Liu Junlang smashed his new computer, tablet, and phone at noon. He might come looking for you or me to help him replace them." Mentioning Sister Qin’s ex-husband, Zhuang Yan held his breath nervously.

After expressing their gratitude, Liu Hua asked if the couple would be willing to sign with his company. Although Sun Chao was interested, he did not agree immediately, saying he would go back and discuss it with his wife. Liu Hua did not say much more, expressing his understanding; after all, he would also discuss any major decision with Sister Yunhan, even though she always agreed with him in the end.
