Volume 1, Chapter 39: Seizing the Opportunity to Get Rich

"What’s wrong?"
"Did something happen?"
A-Hai’s nervous demeanor made me subconsciously anxious as well.
"Come on, let’s go to the office first."
The matter seemed urgent. A-Hai suddenly wrapped his arm around my shoulder and practically forced me toward the main office; although we were walking, he was practically dragging me along at a light jog.
Inside the office, A-Long, Baldy, and the other gambling den bosses were all present.
"Come, A-Dong, sit down!"
Brother Hu beckoned to me, then gestured for me to sit beside him. He also reached out to drape his arm over my shoulder, a show of intimacy that made me feel quite uncomfortable.
They say that when someone offers unearned favors, they are either a thief or a scoundrel.
The way the boss and the other den masters were looking at me right now gave me exactly that impression.
A bizarre atmosphere...
Why does that bitch Gu Xiran deserve the favor of Mo Nanting? Why? Why?
"Are you saying that only after someone eats it can we know if it’s poisonous or harmful to the human body? Otherwise, you can’t determine the properties of this medicine just like this?" Ye Shouli was truly quite disappointed.
As for who was monitoring the data, Li Longfei knew it must be those people hiding behind the scenes, manipulating everything.
"You'er! Listen to your father!" Xuanyuan Ying pulled her hand, signaling her to sit quietly by the bed.
Sigh... If she had known, she wouldn't have eaten lunch, saving her appetite for this meal. But she hadn't expected today to be her lucky day, leading to a chance encounter with her idol.
Ever since the first time she saw Chinai, Ezaki Yoko had a wish: to make a tulle dress for her. Don't let her status as the president of the Taekwondo club fool you; when it comes to making dresses, that is her true hobby.

After arriving at Baicao Hall, the way they interacted felt so much like her own home, making her think of her parents. She envied Muxiang; even though his parents were gone, the master never treated him like an outsider, and Uncle Bai and Aunt Yang treated him like their own child.
Moreover, she had just successfully stolen a kiss from her; although it had made her angry, they could still go shopping or have a date tomorrow.
Having just taken over the Xiao Group and sitting in the president's chair, Xiao Yunqi faced various voices of dissent from both shareholders and senior executives, perhaps because he had never been involved with the company before.
After Dongling's step-by-step analysis, Fu'er suddenly understood: "So that's how it is!" She finally realized that her feelings for the Emperor were different from those she held for Brother Chun'er.
He had the Earth Element touch the crystal, but there was nothing unusual; he could only feel that the stone was quite hard. He touched it with his own hand and even tried to carve it with a Golden Core-grade dagger, yet it didn't leave a single mark.
She wanted to look a few more times, but she didn't dare, fearing that if she looked any longer, she wouldn't be able to bear the thought of dying.
In the Valoran continent, the fall of the ancient Shurima Empire into the desert sands happened ten thousand years ago, making it feel very distant. Xerath, who was sealed at that time, is known as the [Ancient Magus].
He had seen quite a few old timers from the Seventy-Two Domains of the Nine Realms, and he was well-acquainted with that scent of time.
"Jingrou... we're home." Su Jingrou looked out at the dilapidated mansion in a daze, murmuring to herself.
This black monster resembled a type of rodent, yet it was different from common rats, being about the size of a house cat.
"If you have backbone, then go to hell!" Lin Feng roared, his body erupting with boundless precious light. The Bodhi tree above his head rustled, shaking down ten thousand rays of emerald, ghostly light, carrying an irrepressible aura of destruction as he killed his way toward Qiluosheng.
"What a joke! Do you think that lover of yours can kill us?" Another saintly ancient was amused to the point of laughter; Shu Ya's words were simply ridiculous.
It was a pity that the Golden Crow clan had already agreed to help them contain that force called Atlantis in the distance; otherwise, if the monsters of Yingzhou and the Atlantis sea race had attacked together, it would have been hard for them to hold them off.
The white man and the black man immediately shut their mouths; they certainly didn't have the courage to talk back to the big boss.
Momo happily grasped Feng Qinyu's hand, looking at the joy in her eyes, but Feng Qinyu only curled her lips slightly.
In such a cold season, eating something like this was very popular in the palace, and with various delicacies mixed in, it tasted delicious.
Hearing Changsun Ruomei say this, Feng Hexuan felt the anxiety he had been hiding for days surge into his heart.

Jingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, saying nothing more, and just followed him quietly, feeling very curious in her heart.
The top priority was to find the Demon Lord's location while he was injured and kill him in one stroke.
When Zhang Lei and his group got off the plane, several black sedans had been waiting for a long time. Many travelers looked suspiciously at the large passenger plane bearing the game company's emblem, as it was rare for people to see such a logo.
No, she had to figure out what was going on with the weight-loss meals Wang Daliang made before she got lashed, and then meet the head mistress! She didn't want to lose her life for nothing and be saddled with a crime; Nan Ye was burning with anxiety.
As it stood, the Mammoth had been provoked. Due to its innate immense strength and sturdy body, this area was almost entirely its territory, and now that someone dared to attack it, the big guy was naturally very angry.
Watching his wife’s bashful, blooming expression, Zhang Lei felt his appetite whetted, wishing he could "discipline" Xiaolan immediately.
With a flick of his mind, the Purple Fire of Doushuai erupted, instantly scorching the Wood Demon. The emerald-green Wood Demon gradually turned bronze, appearing even tougher.
In the distance, the first things to catch the eye were the skyscrapers hundreds of stories high. Moving closer, one would see the mecha in the plaza, but the most eye-catching of all were two equally massive electronically synthesized portraits. The portrait on the left depicted a young man wearing a white kung fu shirt.
A long time passed, and Wuji's cultivation remained hovering at the peak of the late Lingyun stage, unable to make any further progress. Wuji himself was not anxious, as being stuck at a certain realm for a long time was not the first or second time this had happened; he was used to it.
Young Master Lin was at the highest level of the Lu Mowu clan. The mental language of this clan naturally had the effect of hypnotizing, inspiring, and inducing those of lower ranks. Especially now, with Young Master Lin—the highest-ranking member—specifically targeting a subordinate with mental communication, the effect was unprecedentedly concentrated and obvious.
Sure enough, after being interrupted by Han Yan, Yuan Shu could only utter the word "You" and nothing else.
1. Conduct competitions and intensive training in the field platoon and the Freedom Army, eliminating those who are older or have poor physical stamina through the training.
Because they were unable to detect the intruder, the person's strength had to be at least comparable to their own. Being unable to see through the other's cultivation further confirmed this. Coupled with the aura emanating from that person, they dared not show the slightest bit of neglect.
In less than ten minutes, all the salt and silk were sold out, and the merchants still wore expressions full of regret.
The guard elder spoke at length, having to pause several times in between to catch his breath for a long while before continuing.
