Chapter 37: Something Odd
Feng Xu swept his gaze across the room; at this moment, he had no desire to cause trouble. He only wanted to arrange a kindergarten for his daughter, and hoped she would witness as little conflict as possible.
Li Feihu had intended to teach this man a lesson. During the earlier commotion, this fellow had shouted the loudest, joined by several others behind him. As for the rest, they were simply playing with their children nearby, entirely uninvolved.
“My dear husband, I don’t want to make any sacrifices—I just want to hide behind you for the rest of my life.” Mu Lingsha, her hunger sated with dumplings, looked utterly content as she hugged Shen Ye’s arm and nuzzled against him.
What was so special about Shen Zhiyi, that 8765 would abandon her own mission just to be with him?
“Wherever you are, that’s where you’ll find me,” Jiao Yue replied calmly.
As Yin Shengye had said, HSD, being the second largest dark force, naturally had its own inherited code of honor.
Fan Zhihao, upon hearing this, felt rather displeased. She gave him the impression that even ten million was too little, which made him want to raise the stakes.
“That’s truly a difficult question to answer!” Liuxia tapped her temple lightly with her index finger. “Clearly, it was my own sudden whim to stay—so whom should I say instructed me?” She looked at Sheng Xiaomo with a trace of bewilderment.
“All right, all right, don’t worry—I won’t let our child suffer any grievances. Besides, just look at Ayu, he won’t last much longer. In the future, won’t everything belong to our child anyway?” At this point, Huangfu Jin felt a twinge of uncertainty in his heart.
Gao Mingxuan came from humble beginnings and had never achieved much; he’d always failed to be recognized as a Qingyun Warrior. Now, with his master Zuo Hongyun suddenly rising to become the city lord, Gao Mingxuan’s fortunes had soared with him. Even the few fiery-maned stallions reserved for the city lord were his for the riding, whenever he pleased.
A black figure darted through the narrow stairwell at a speed beyond human limits; all that could be seen was a fleeting afterimage.
The closer one drew to the capital, the more abundant the temples for ancestral rites became, and the faces of the deities enshrined there were, without a doubt, his own from days long past.
In response to this situation, the Hexi Police Department announced a temporary policy that very day: the entire Hexi district would be placed under a curfew. All bars, nightclubs, and other night venues could operate only until midnight, and a strict identification registration system was implemented to ensure everyone’s safety.
“But the vendetta between Blood Pact and the 3K Gang is no less than ours. They’re unlikely to join forces, besides, none of our informants have reported any unusual activity from Blood Pact.” Zhao Dahai scratched his head.
Reluctantly, You Yi put down her phone; she had just been arguing with Kuroko online, and her eyes still burned with a trace of undiminished fury.
“Since Zheng Qian wants to go, let him join us. Professor Chen, have you already chosen someone else?” Wang Fuyao turned to Chen Lianchun as he spoke.
As his words faded, one voice after another emerged from those beside him. Su Changge was instantly struck by a strong sense of familiarity with them all. He could not say what he felt toward them, but he was certain he had never met them in this lifetime.
Yet he dutifully denounced Bill Gaici in his remarks—for to sway public opinion, one must first strike a chord with the people.
Erik Lansher sealed the “Destroyer” weapon, layer by layer, with all kinds of metals he had drawn from the deepest reaches of the Divine Sea. At last, he freed his hands and cast his gaze toward the heavens.
