Chapter 95: Because I Have Seen Those Truly Starving for Days

After the elderly woman finished speaking, the old man beside her excitedly raised a large gold chain and thrust it forward.
"Young man, you must be in a good mood, right? Give me a little food. Anything you want, you can have. Look at this chain—when I bought it, it was over six hundred per gram. It's worth more than a hundred thousand, all yours. Just give me a bit to eat, won't you?"
Behind them, two young men...
As everyone watched, flames erupted from the scholar's body, releasing the scent of roasted meat. Even Zhang Kaidi couldn't help but feel nauseated; such martial arts were too cruel. After the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the scholar's screams ceased and his body became a heap of charcoal.
Tongtian gave a light shout, and the force in his hand burst forth, transforming the orb of light into a pool of liquid.
Now, faced with Murong Fu, a man so ungrateful and despicable, how could anyone suppress the rage burning in their heart?
The variant Ming Jade True Qi, separated from the body, inherited the effect of the ninth layer of Ming Jade Skill. There was a constant pull between them; even someone at the pinnacle of innate strength like Carefree Master would be affected if caught within, somewhat similar to the Violet Sky Net of the Passionless Path in the Tang world.
King Zhao received Fan Ju, deposed Marquis Rang, banished Huayang, strengthened the royal house, closed private doors, devoured the feudal lords, and helped Qin achieve imperial greatness. These four lords owed their deeds to their retainers. From this, what did the guest owe to Qin? Had the four lords rejected their guests and not welcomed them, neglected scholars and not employed them, the state would have lacked real prosperity and Qin would not have been known for its strength.
I predict King Qi will be enraged. Afterwards, have Ku Qing investigate your confidants at court and monitor the political winds.
"Whoosh!" When the ghostly blue flame appeared, Esdeath and the others thought of something, and immediately looked at their man in disbelief. Had the fire reached such a level already?
This is a trivial thing; when the system forges, it makes clanging hammer sounds. If Mu Ge finds the noise too irritating, he can choose to play another type of music.
Now, Naruto Uzumaki’s strength was only at the chunin level, and with the Nine-Tails inside him under control, how could he possibly notice?
Xuan Jian said coldly, "Hmph, those two are only at the third level of the Myth realm—not enough to stop me. When the time comes, I'll lead people to assist you. Once it's done, the throne of King Zhao will be yours for the taking."
Hu Yaru didn’t know what to say. All she could offer was a shoulder to lean on, granting a moment of peace.
Hu Yaru couldn’t tell if Wu Lanyu truly didn’t notice Song Guangfu’s displeasure, or simply didn’t care about his feelings. Or perhaps, the feelings of others never mattered much to her at all.
"Are you asleep? Did I disturb you?" The boy's voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of emptiness, probably because he was still in the studio.
Originally, with Wang Junbo looking out for her, she hadn’t expected Wu Lanyu to repay kindness with betrayal, ending her good days with her own hands.
Shu Wei’s cry drew the attention of many. Yet most thought it was just a lovers’ quarrel and watched for amusement; no one stepped forward to help Shu Wei.
Without permission, Zhou Yi opened the door, showing only his head. He saw the mess on the floor quite clearly, and felt his heart sink a little.
Dongfang Kong gazed at Gu Li, frail and pale in his arms, pain and turmoil in his heart. Gu Yu saw his genuine emotion and felt a slight nervousness; her sister was simply too outstanding—was this good or bad? Hearing these words today, she was so shocked she didn’t know what to think.
Beitang Yi naturally didn’t overlook the surprise and silent complaint in Baili Yun’s eyes. A cold, knife-like glare sent Baili Yun into another fright.
Honesty is the most important in the pawn business, and this boss didn’t seem like someone unfamiliar with large sums of money.
He had originally planned to announce publicly at the banquet the relationship between the Kameda family and the Ando family, but he had decided to abandon the idea.
