Chapter 24

The Death God Cavalry, with blades in hand, cut down thousands of enemies like celestial deities—untouchable and invincible.

A stream of light burst forth from Ji Hanfeng’s fingertips, transforming into thousands of swords and blades, their edges sharp and resonant, indistinguishable from real steel. They merged into a mighty torrent that swept across the sky, enveloping the Dark Moon Alliance leader and quickly overwhelming him.

Proudly, he straightened his chest, as if to say, “A real man should be like me—a true patriarch.”

For her sister’s sake, she had been doing everything possible to protect the Spirit Dove Club. Shangguan Muli, to help her, bore great grievances and humiliation.

Zhang Qiulai’s grandfather naturally treasured the sole heir of the old Zhang family. Though it seemed that Zhang Qiulai lacked protection, in truth, the care surrounding him was the most thorough.

The moment I stepped onto the shore, at least four pairs of eyes landed on me. Just as I expected—they had been waiting here all along. But it didn’t matter; I came precisely to handle trouble.

Upon seeing the black-robed stranger Nangong Yangtian and Ji Hanfeng, their faces immediately changed.

Though Yue Ying knew that even with a contract, she could hardly command such a supreme being, at least she could safely leave the place. And if danger arose, even if he was unwilling, he would have to act in an emergency.

Besides, this guy was hostile toward us right from the start. Any other mercenary would have shot him down long ago. Traveling with someone filled with hatred is like carrying a ticking bomb—absolutely forbidden for mercenaries. So I didn’t insist on my own opinion.

Not to mention Roydas, the allied deputy commander who bore family and national grudges against him. Li Qi was already filled with hatred without any taunts.

“I don’t know anything about agriculture; how can I interview? The Agricultural Academy has already made arrangements. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the county town to check on the office we’re setting up for Lu Xin’s company. I have to inspect it,” Gao Zhengsheng said earnestly.

Wu Junci nodded, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and tossed the pack to Commissioner Zheng. Zheng lit one and passed it to the others. The veteran doctors were at ease; Qin Ruo politely took one and lit it.

Upon arriving at Wuguan, Yin Zhongkan promptly raised a grand banner ahead of the central army, then cast a glance over the generals of Jingzhou.

Fengxing Group finally went public before the financial crisis, timing it perfectly. Its market value far exceeded previous expectations.

Through the otherworldly demon bow, Xu Yang sensed five peak Wudi (Martial Emperors) breaking through the ice, searching for their treasures.

What mattered were Fini, Talens, the steward, and the knights; what mattered was the stall he had just set up in his territory; what mattered was Tina and the princess—he still hadn’t figured out their situation.

Yet their threat seemed pale even to himself. Sima Lu had made it clear that no matter what, the Sima family would make the Xu and Song families disappear. Even if Xu Yang didn’t kill Sima Lu, this wouldn’t change.

“The hardest worker was actually him—the writer, director, and actor all in one. He also handled post-production editing and music almost single-handedly. He lost about fifteen pounds in two months. After airing, he’d be chased by fans, right? Haha,” the actor playing Cheng Cai laughed.

Mizuki infused chakra into his armor, which shimmered with a radiant glow, making it look splendid yet practical. Tests showed it reduced damage from ninjutsu and teleportation techniques.

“It’s just a pity there’s no TV or DVD,” Meng Zihao said, glancing at the blank wall in the living room and the conspicuous wall decoration. He felt uneasy, thinking there should be a TV hanging there.

Xia Feng snorted coldly. He hadn’t even said he was going easy on him; otherwise, a punch could have caused a concussion at least.

Entering the bedroom, under brighter light, Taishi Kun finally saw that the old man’s hair was completely white, his skin a deathly gray. There was no other way—how could Sarugu afford to let the old man relax in the sun?

“Then check if anyone is in the bathroom,” Li Lan said calmly. As a nurse, she had encountered such situations before.

The towering mountain, hundreds of meters high and shrouded in mist, was unclear in detail. At its base grew strange trees. One trunk, ten men clasping around it, had a thick layer of bark stripped by some creature, revealing sap that continuously oozed out.

“Is this about Hualong Mall clearing our Zhongtong store’s promotional materials?” Wu Hongwei sat boldly behind his desk, replying coldly just now. The words nearly brought Wang Junjie to tears—finally, someone was willing to talk to him.

“Xiao Jianren, please show some respect. We’re already divorced; you must correct how you address me!” Zhuang Jin felt disgusted hearing Xiao Jianren call her ‘wife.’ She wanted no ties with him, as if being called that was a betrayal to Meng Xinghui.

Seeing Pani return, Yuri and the others smiled with deeper meaning—they had just been discussing this issue.

In front of Bingbing, Qin Yuan admired not only her smooth, delicate skin but also her fiery curves and enchanting figure.

“It hasn’t even reached a hundred yet. What’s there to be shocked about?” Chen Shao suppressed his surprise.

Wan Xin hadn’t fully recovered from her previous state. Her mother’s question stunned her; underprepared, she nearly slipped up. The usually composed campus beauty suddenly showed a hint of panic at the door, unable to quickly gather the right words to explain.

Thus, Governor Wu sought out Gu Wanchang. Both knew the urgency and severity of the matter. After negotiation, a vigorous anti-bandit campaign erupted across Shandong province.

She quickly opened her eyes toward the glass window and saw Bai Shu’s handsome face facing her. Cold air from his body climbed onto the soundproof glass, crystallizing into delicate ice flowers that spread to Ding Yilin’s feet.
