Volume One, Chapter 51: Report to the Authorities

Hearing Qin Yi’s sobbing voice, Qin Huai grew even angrier and moved to kick him again, but Qin Ye stopped him.

“Father, Third Brother is simple-minded and has seen little of the world. I’m afraid he was deceived this time!”

As the king of the Dragon Clan, Igfislaw was naturally no mere blusterer. Although he could not guarantee that he would completely keep this “Sagali” here, he could certainly reinforce the other party’s “memory” in a particular regard.

Moon City had a large chain auction house belonging to the Central Trade Alliance, where all kinds of goods could be purchased.

“How do you view the current situation?” Ren Ruowei had just entered Zhong Shi’s office when Zhong Shi immediately asked the question, without wasting a single word.

The battle in the arena continued. Although Master Lu’s resolve had already begun to waver, he still had to fight. Since he had come this far, he would never give up before the very last moment.

In the end, the issue was simply whether to protect Xu Youtian or not. If he protected him, he would inevitably be dragged into the affair; if he did not, he would chill the hearts of those under his command. It was truly an impossible choice.

Yang Dong explained the principles of the Dual Cultivation Technique to Shi Feixuan. She understood a little more and felt relieved.

In the distance, a wall of water dozens of meters high surged toward them across the sea. As the afterglow of sunset faded, the monstrous waves crashed onto the grassland, and the raging seawater poured into the tomb.

“You know what happened afterward. Before I returned to this world, I killed the Young Commander who had disguised herself as you, Yang Dong. Do you know how I felt when I saw that the person beneath my sword was the Young Commander and not you?”

“I need production lines for weapons and military equipment—for example, production lines for rocket launchers and rockets…” Yi Xingchen listed a series of arms-production lines he required.

Then Charlemagne saw several beams of intense light suddenly appear ahead of the silver-white ship, flashing several times in succession.

Tang Thirty-Six remained expressionless. No matter what, could this fellow really be more formidable than Chen Changsheng—capable of viewing all the tablets before the mausoleum in a single day?

The gunshot just now had drawn Li Zixiao’s attention, and when he turned around, he saw Basang, the man who had gambled with his life against him at the casino yesterday.

Early the next morning, everyone decided to head for the Inner Marsh, since they had found no sign of any rare treasure in the Outer Marsh.

The old madam’s birthday banquet was as grand and lively as ever. Most of the distinguished guests in attendance were important figures from the imperial court. The most prominent among them was the Prince Rui’s residence, followed by the Duke of Wei’s residence. Since Old Madam Ye was celebrating her birthday, the Duke of Wei’s household, being her in-laws, naturally had to offer their congratulations.

Yet the path before him was clearly not one Ye Shaoxuan had ever liked. If asked what sort of path he preferred, he might answer, “What I like is living in Sky Capital as a wealthy young master—seeking pleasure, enjoying myself, carefree and at ease.”

Yang Jiahua had no idea what had happened. His mind was completely blank, but one thing he understood clearly was that Qian Qiyue did not want to see him at that moment. He sighed, wondering whether he had acted too hastily. After standing motionless at the doorway for a long while, Yang Jiahua finally left. He did not know that the light inside had burned brightly throughout the entire night.

They knew Du Heng was wealthy, but to be wealthy to such an extent was truly astonishing. It was true that the world’s ten richest people all possessed such means, but this sort of behavior was far from ordinary. Which of those billionaires would place all their assets in a bank through a parent-and-subsidiary investment arrangement?

“Let us analyze this from two angles. First, who had the opportunity to approach the victim that night? Second, there is Tian Dahu’s son. Although he is only sixteen, we cannot rule him out as a suspect.” Tang Long continued focusing on the key points of the case. Naturally, any clue—or any version of the truth—was still possible.
