Volume 1, Chapter 32: Seeing What a Coward Li Lanfang Truly Is
Shen Lingshuang told Li Lanfang everything about her plan to go to the Chen residence and ransom the captives.
Thus, although they could see through no one’s cultivation except Litu’s, they showed not the slightest trace of respect.
“Crescent Moon Mitsuhara? So that is what your blade is called. Then I cannot let you be the only one whose weapon has a name. Mine is Crescent.” Tang Feng raised Crescent, and in an instant, countless crescent-shaped blades tore through the air.
“They said Teacher Cang had joined the Special Operations Brigade. They also said that, like us, he was probably counting the stars in some pit full of the living dead.” Tang Long explained.
This Blood Wolf Jade Flame had been created by fusing the flames of Yagami Iori, his werewolf bloodline, and the resentment and fury in his heart. It embodied his bloodthirsty state of mind and his primal desires. This union of spirit and power possessed tremendous might.
The world was truly full of strange and wondrous things. Everyone had heard of people forcibly collecting protection fees before, but this time, on Boss Zhu’s own turf, someone was actually insisting on shoving the money into another person’s hands. It was enough to leave anyone sighing in disbelief.
“Yes!” Yan Chang lowered his head, but inwardly he pondered the meaning of the words “scapegoat” that Long Liexue had used. Could it be that, to the Chieftain, these people were not his true targets after all?
“Of course, it was the boss’s order.” At last, he revealed the truth. “In fact, even before that battle, the boss had already decided to terminate the Genesis Project. It was just that none of us could accept giving up without fighting you at least once.”
At that moment, he felt somewhat apologetic. If Qianqian had been telling the truth, then his accusation against Ye Beigong just now had indeed gone too far.
It was much the same as the Westerners’ passion for sporting events. Sooner or later, the Chinese would come to love sports through this model as well. More importantly, it could greatly encourage parents to move beyond their traditional approach to educating their children. The college entrance examination was not the only path forward; becoming an athlete could be another way out.
He had clearly thought too highly of the man. He was merely a lunatic second-generation heir. Paying four billion for that bronze cauldron was utter madness.
By contrast, in an office at the headquarters of the Chengdu Command, several generals who had attended the emergency meeting wore expressions of utter disdain.
Although the International Confederation of Wizards had no direct authority over the Ministries of Magic in individual countries, all international exchanges and cooperation had to comply with its agreements. It was an organization of considerable influence.
“Teacher, what should we do now?” Sali, the leader chosen for this “recommendation,” asked Alles behind him.
Yet at that very moment, thunderous booms suddenly erupted from every direction, deafening in their intensity. The ground began to tremble faintly beneath the sudden explosions.
“My lord, we have already left the southwestern region!” Several days later, Hua Wuque once again came to the carriage in which Gu Yi was riding and reported the news.
Zhang Qiaoru brought a few steamed buns from the kitchen and set them on the ground. The haughty Snowball did not even spare them a glance. With an arrogant stride, it calmly leaped forward and darted away.
When the first rays of dawn rose over the eastern horizon, the surface of the lake beneath their feet finally began to change.
“Is this the Gemini Towers, currently the tallest building in the world?” Heim murmured to himself. It far exceeded his expectations. The silver-white glass façade reflected the sunlight so brilliantly that he could scarcely take it all in.
The warriors breathed a sigh of relief in that instant, but Zhuoyue immediately grew tense. The shift from nervousness to sudden relaxation was itself an emotional fluctuation, and it matched the emotional state of the demon warriors aboard the transport fleet. Yet whether it would attract attention, Zhuoyue had no confidence at all.
