Chapter 106: Redemption

The sound drew nearer and nearer, making its way toward them and prompting passersby to stop and gather round.

A stout figure hurried up to Lu Yamei. He did not even stop to wipe the sweat from his brow; instead, with both hands braced on his knees, he panted hard and asked, "Where is my sister? Has she already left?"

Lu Yamei's expression turned cold. "Wu Jiawang, what are you doing here?"

The newcomer was none other than Shan Panhui's younger brother by blood, Wu Jiawang. As a child he had often trailed after Lu Yamei and Shan Panhui, and could almost be called Lu Yalan's childhood sweetheart. But ever since Shan Panhui left, Lu Yalan had never seen Wu Jiawang again.

If Lu Yamei had not called out his name, she would never have imagined that the shy, refined boy of the past would have grown into such a massive figure now.

Za Rile and Zheng Xiumin, together with Master Puji and a group of team members, came over as well. "We can take advantage of the darkness and get out of here at once!" Za Rile ordered.

Ye An'an instinctively looked to the other side of the bed. There was not a trace of warmth left there; clearly, Lance had left long ago.

Some of the bolder adventurers, after hearing this, grew somewhat excited. They felt they might seize certain opportunities and break free from the limits of their innate gifts.

"An'an, since you've confirmed it's him, you must avenge your father!" After a brief burst of indignation, Ye's mother had already calmed down.

They had thought the students of Eaton simply wore tailcoats and put on airs wherever they went, doing nothing except enjoying life.

At this moment, Zuo Zai could actually feel that Huo Xinran harbored hostility toward her, yet she clearly did not think she had offended her just now in any way.

"I'll be careful. If they want me dead, it won't be so easy." A chill gleamed in Ling Jingqiu's eyes.

Of course, the one condition everyone agreed on was that Ye Ke must not pester the Fourth Princess of the East Sea, and should go back whence he came.

Since the Wise Prince had already helped her so much, there was no harm in letting him know these matters as well.

Shen Lanying found it strange: why did everyone think her brother was such a cruel and ruthless person?

Vlad put it this way because, in this chaotic new world, if one could gain the protection of one of the Four Emperors, then for ordinary people that might not be a bad thing at all. Perhaps the common folk of Dressrosa would even be pleased.

At this moment, within Navy Headquarters, in a certain conference room, the highest-level meeting of the Navy was underway, and the atmosphere was utterly hushed.

Yu Dayou was not exactly a man who loved the people as tenderly as his own children, but he would rather spend a little extra silver than forcibly conscript peasants to serve as auxiliary troops.

"Rou'er, Mom wants to talk to you about something. Let me say it here." Huang Ailing's tone was a little hesitant.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting! How could your mother bear to part with you? Come here!" Fu Hongju would not hear of it. She pulled Lian Haiping into her arms at once, and still pleaded bitterly with Yun Xiaozi to remove the yin-yang eyes from her son, Baozhu, so that he could grow up like a normal child.

Thinking of this, excitement flashed in Cirrus's eyes. He knew that the Don Quixote Family had absolutely no power to resist the Flame Dragon Pirate Crew. Since Flame Dragon had already decided to do this, it also meant that the Don Quixote Family was finished.

"Because you're the only person who came out of Crescent Forest in a normal state." Yang Yi dropped the bombshell, revealing this crucial piece of information directly.

They were not merely increasing physical strength; they also gave rise to corresponding internal energy, which in turn greatly enhanced the cultivator's power—that is, the attribute of arm strength.

Even an attack capable of shattering rock and bending steel was still no match for the rocket launcher's Armament Haki once it was wrapped around it; Sanji's strike was effortlessly blocked.

"That doesn't count. I'm just a little curious. Of course, as a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., I assume you wouldn't tell me you're out traveling for sightseeing and the like." Nick Fury crossed his hands before his chest and shifted into a posture he found more comfortable.

Yao Qing, Zhu Jiajia, and Cheng Xinyi exchanged a glance and said nothing, simply following along. Chenxi's expression did not seem quite right.

This was clearly the ultimate technique that Mo Shan had spoken of. As Li Shi drew near Mo Li, Mo Shan suddenly controlled the air around Mo Li and unleashed a violent burst, sending Li Shi flying back.
