Volume One, Chapter 52: Which Position Has My Husband Set His Sights On?

Nian’er’s voice grew softer and softer, almost to a murmur. “Sister Yao, I never knew what my mother was like. Ever since I met you, I’ve felt that my mother must have been… must have been just like you. My mother must have had gentle eyes like yours. She would protect me whenever I was in danger, patiently help me wash my hair, and carefully trim my fingernails…”

“He’s better than most sons of wealthy families, but he still lacks experience. His temper is too fierce, like a wild horse. His father could have let him run free, but instead insisted on keeping him penned in. That’s probably the sorrow shared by all rich heirs: they possess vast grasslands, yet can only be led around in circles,” Xing Feng said slowly.

“Are you going to surrender quietly, or do you want us to use force and tie you up before taking you back?” Yao Tian asked.

The war went smoothly at first. The power unleashed by united humanity was terrifying! The Corpse People were driven back step by step, and much of the territory they had taken was reclaimed.

A roar tore across the sky. A Yi, the fused Corpse Person, the captain of J Team, and I all stopped fighting at the same time, each of us looking up toward the heavens.

He could not bring himself to say something like that in front of Gu Yi, so with a quick turn of his mind, Patch immediately changed it into a comparatively more tactful phrasing.

The Black Tortoise sensed the aura of the White Dragon scales on Qiu Ming. It was a bloodline pressure that made it extremely uncomfortable, so naturally, it fled.

Lan Xiuping immediately went over to Yan Le and began walking beside him along the lakeshore. With no choice, Yan Le started walking as well.

My Jin Yan was no longer the spoiled young master he had once been. He had finally begun to shoulder the burden of his family with his own strength. When Aunt Xu told me that he had sent money home, the sense of responsibility he felt toward his family made my heart follow him with even greater determination.

Although the plan had failed, Gofiya still had one attack left. All that remained was to wait for the final monster commander.

Li Shou was just about to call and ask which floor of the hospital they were on when, caught off guard, he was so startled that he nearly dropped his phone. Could he tolerate this? He shoved the gearshift forward and was about to stomp hard on the accelerator.

Come to think of it, I really had become rather swollen with pride after gaining power. Fine, call it arrogance if you like—but so what? Those few people were hardly worth taking seriously.

“What are you thanking me for? I don’t remember anything.” We had only known each other for a few brief minutes, and aside from chatting, it seemed I hadn’t done anything for her anyway.

Shi Weini was one of the rising stars of the Red Fist organization. Although she was only twenty-three this year, her strength had already reached the seventh level of the Red Tower. In another two or three years, it would not be impossible for her to reach the eighth level.

Along with the flush spreading across his face, countless viewers sitting in front of their televisions were struck by an intense shock.

But this news shocked and stunned everyone even more—indeed, it was even more startling than the news that the Martial Arts Alliance had lost.

Qin Zhao raised his right foot, sending Wang Dalong flying four or five meters away. Several of his teeth fell out as well, and whether they could ever be replaced was another question. Qin Zhao had not dared kill him in front of such a large crowd, since that would have caused a great deal of unnecessary trouble.

Meanwhile, Harut, Zoro, and the others quietly remained in a nearby corner, receiving Chopper’s care.

Brief and simple, without the slightest digression—an unusual style for a speech. Qin Zhao had come to speak only because he wanted to show himself to everyone and announce that he was the principal. That was all.

“You hid from those people’s search by relying on this? Why didn’t Big Brother Lin come with you? If he had, wouldn’t both of you have been able to escape?” Zhang Tian asked.

“How about this? I don’t have work today anyway. I’ll arrange for him to come out, and the two of you can talk.” As she spoke, she took out her phone and called Song Qi.
