Chapter 53

Sometimes in her dreams, she would push open one door after another. Inside, it was either pitch black or completely empty, or filled with unfamiliar faces, but her mother was never there. A home without a mother was no home at all. She could not find her own home, nor did she know where it was.

Wang Shouli carried Wang Cuicui on his back all the way to the main gate of the Wang family, personally helped her into the sedan chair, and then reluctantly retreated to the threshold.

"What? She wants to join the Ye Corporation? How can this be? She never mentioned it before, why all of a sudden..." Luo Juan cried out in shock.

Su Ran suddenly widened her eyes, staring at Yan Heng's face in disbelief, an indescribable feeling churning in her heart.

"Needless to say, after contacting them a few times, she immediately requested leave and flew to the United States," Yue Sufen said.

In truth, Luo Deng held some resentment toward Li Si, because Li Si's late arrival had caused immense dissatisfaction among the hunters dispatched by the Royal Hunting Guild. As the highest-ranking official of the Hunter Association present, all the grievance from the Royal Hunting Guild naturally poured down onto Luo Deng.

Peter Hansen's initially wavering resolve gradually solidified under the persuasion of his wife.

No sooner had Xu Fu finished speaking than several resentful gazes shot toward them. However, these gazes were not directed at him, but rather at Wei Shitou.

It was a bright morning. Xiao Min was trying to wake up a feigning-sleep Yan Hong, though the pretending Yan Hong was ultimately awakened by a phone call.

Yet, tempered by years of experience, he kept his true thoughts to himself, merely offering a silent, quiet smile.

Meanwhile, the black dragon transformed by Ray began to move. As it raised its right claw, a fierce gust swept through the underground hall; then, as it pressed down, another gale whipped up, making the air feel instantly suffocated.

Gu Yi'er smiled, placing her hand in his palm, and allowed him to lead her to his side, watching the domestic drama unfold before them together.

A burning smell drifted over. Lin Yuan looked at Qiongqi and found that the originally dark-gray beast looked almost carbonized, charred by electricity from head to toe and pitch-black all over.

"You—you are going too far! I will make you pay for this!" Zhu Yinying shouted furiously, her eyes red.

Zhang Chi noticed something: Tao Runji could not see Yu Suxi's grandmother; her gaze never once lingered on the old woman.

Upon learning the news, Zhang Chi had run eagerly to the machinery workshop. The more he looked at the mecha under construction, the more he adored it, feeling deeply grateful for his teacher's care.

Lin Qiuxia elaborated, speaking a truth—a truth that many understood but dared not voice.

Shaoshang had no desire to listen to his nonsense and forcefully pulled down the carriage curtain. Outside, a flurry of hurried footsteps and chaotic voices arose, mingled with Lou Yao's justifications, before everything gradually faded away. Clearly, Lou Yao had been driven off.

In truth, his turnover could have been even higher, but alas, the only chefs currently in the restaurant were himself and the late Shang. With limited production capacity, he had been forced to decline many orders from various guilds.

"Yi'er, do you think Du Changlin can bring Qingyuan back?" Seeing her temper soften, Gu Kuizhong asked tentatively once more.

It was not that he remained under the influence of the "Charm," but rather that facing this Master of the White Tower, Deya possessed no power to resist.

After organizing all the items, she released Yun Ji. Seeing that Yun Ji was still fast asleep, she placed it inside a sealed stone chamber to continue its seclusion.

Once she figured it out, she stopped troubling herself over it. Children and grandchildren would have their own fortunes; the affairs of that household could be left for them to sort out themselves.

Nothing was irreproducible. In the eyes of mages, the reason something seemed irreproducible was simply due to insufficient preliminary preparation or errors in prepared variables.

Fortunately, Ji Yanmo had already finished his inspection. Consulting the name list from the computer data, he took headcount, and everyone was present.

After a moment, Panguan nodded as if resigned to his fate, signaling his willingness to take me to the netherworld.

Therefore, Lin Nuannuan surmised that Qiuyue shared the same mindset as the others in this residence, thinking that calling upon the estate doctor would be of no use. Who would have thought that the girl did not think that way at all?

She recalled, over and over again, the entire process—from her first meeting with her adopted son, to taking him in, and watching him grow up. Although he was not her biological child, in her heart, he was no different from one.

Though Sun Shangxiang had a gut feeling that Liu Bei would agree, deep down she still felt a flutter of nervousness.

Hong Xiang reined in his stray thoughts and refocused his attention on the Sunset Bow. Recalling the bonding process of the Xuanyuan Sword, he could not help biting his finger and letting a few drops of blood fall onto the bow's body. However, after waiting for a long time, the blood showed no sign of being absorbed, nor did any anomalies occur. Feeling depressed, he finally grabbed a damp cloth and carefully wiped the Sunset Bow clean.

Pity that by this moment, everyone was killing with bloodshot eyes; who would still pay heed to the cries of a dying man on a solitary boat in the boundless sea?

"Then could you please wrap this up for me? Oh, right, and that dress as well," Su Changle said, pointing to another black dress.

Yet, when nearly everyone possessed energy-based abilities, Wang Qitian still could not help but feel a pang of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Actually, that's not all! The location and shape of this rockery were personally conceptualized and designed by His Majesty himself!" Bian Lingcheng chimed in with a cheerful laugh.

This loud shout, coupled with Wu Liu's miserable screams and the deaths of their surrounding companions, finally snapped the remaining assassins back to their senses. Brandishing their broadswords, they howled as they charged toward Li Wujie.

"Find the nearest medical clinic and treat this man's injuries first. This man cannot die yet!" An Lushan looked at Zhang Tongru, speaking with profound meaning.

It was the first time she learned the true name of the rabbit hair clip, and she had learned it from the mouth of a brown parrot.

With a crash of shattering objects, several vases and decorative pieces were smashed to the ground. The girls shrieked and fled, leaving the shop in utter chaos.

"That's right. This crisis is enough to wipe out our squad a dozen times over," Xia Hai snatched the walkie-talkie and said. His utterly flat tone sent a shiver down the spines of Wang Qitian and the others. Was this... the tone of utter despair?

In an arena so filled with Zerg and rival military academies, the value of an eight-times scope was self-evident. With such an item, a team could gain the upper hand by acquiring more information ahead of others, thereby securing victory.

Tang Chaochao's gaze grew cold. Knowing that the people from the West Triumph Hall were deliberately stirring up trouble across the way, she found herself helpless to stop them.
