Chapter 20

"That doesn't seem right. These tasks are quite important; it's better to do them later. It won't cause any trouble," Yoona hesitated.

"The Ink Iron Jade King... they are Liu San's men. Check if it’s Liu San’s people who are in charge of the Ink Jade mine!" Li Tietou narrowed his eyes.

However, Seohyun was right; the alliance method was indeed excellent for Yoona. Regardless of whether Yoona chose to ally or not, Seohyun’s status was unique compared to the others; she really had no need to suggest these things at all.

Qin Ming could finally take a breather from company affairs, which was why he was in the mood to laze in bed with Krystal today. After his reckless actions yesterday, everyone would surely be weighing their options. They must have developed new thoughts on whether or not to strike against a madman like Qin Ming.

The gentle light slowly faded, and a bit of moonlight filtered through the window screens into the room. It wasn't completely dark, and it was so quiet that they could hear each other’s heartbeats and breathing.

Tong Lin said joyfully, "Husband? Why are you here?" As she spoke, she grabbed Zhang Wanrong and ran over.

Slowly, only a few members of the Qingtan Sect remained on the field along with Lie Xingfeng. The last team leader from the Wushan Sect had also left early.

After a while, he remembered the Jade Essence Concentration Dew he had risked his life to retrieve. He pulled it out of his pocket and examined it carefully. He wanted to open the jade bottle to peek at what was inside, but in the end, he didn't move. After all, it wasn't something he could use, and such a miraculous item might just vanish the moment it was opened, which would be quite embarrassing.

Harry didn't know what Dumbledore could possibly ask of him. Dumbledore was already the most powerful wizard in the entire wizarding world today; what could he possibly need from him?

"Do you still want to stand here in the rain?" Grindelwald said indifferently. His voice was no longer raspy; it had become much richer.

"Could you lend me some silver?" Thinking of his mother’s illness, which could no longer be delayed, and having no other friends with the means to help him, Wang Bo had to grit his teeth and say it.

The Philippines' approach was no different from driving out bandits through the front door only to invite thieves in through the back. Having just exhausted all efforts to drive the U.S. military away, they immediately felt their sense of security drop and were looking to invite them back to keep the Chinese Nanyang construction in check.

"Who is making that noise?" The Crown Princess had just taken a sip of tea when she heard the faint commotion outside, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Huayue was busy, but Wen Yukou had fallen into deep thought, the hatred in her heart stirred once again.

The position of the Eagle Crown Prince had truly taken deep root in everyone's hearts. The myth of the Crown Prince could now be carved into this world.

The black Charizard, struck by the water jet, looked very displeased. It glared at Shinji and the shining Golduck, let out a loud roar, and then, engulfed in flames, charged toward the shining Golduck.

As expected, Wen Yukou’s face turned slightly red. She thought to herself, "This Third Prince has always been a playboy. I didn't expect him to have such ways of making money. I’d better not offend him; perhaps giving him more dividends will make him happy so he won't pester me."

"And you?" Mu Yi saw Shu Yi, who had already stopped, and said softly. The power faintly emitted by the Phoenix-Qilin Map beside Mu Yi made Shu Yi fearful.

This operation to "level the Ye Group" was a joint effort by the Heavenly Snake Society, the Wang family, and the Qin family—it was foolproof.

A subordinate closest to Ji Mo secretly turned the watch on his wrist, his eyes fixed on Ji Mo’s throat.

With a shout, the door was pushed open, and Chen Tai, Hu Qing, and Wu Yulin entered.

Such a performance was pure art, a perfect combination of violence and aesthetics, pushed to its absolute limit.

Yu Ran looked at Yan Le, who was clearly smiling yet had a sorrow that caused her brows to knit together involuntarily. He raised his hand and flicked her beautiful forehead for the second time.

"It is not that I do not wish to save the crumbling empire, but the Great Sui Empire, this massive dragon boat, is currently teetering in the midst of a tempest."

"I have been making preparations. After my grandson’s first month is over, I will go to the Xiao family’s ancestral lands and find a way to wipe out the Six Great Families." Xiao Yue’s words were as ruthless as Ji Mo’s.

Yan Le showed no signs of wavering. She continued to smile, clutching her Ling Yi even tighter, speaking with extraordinary ease.

As for herself, there were many ways to protect him, but the one she least wanted to choose was the one that would defy him.

Thinking of this, Ji Mo’s expression grew terrifyingly grim, and ghastly blue veins bulged on his neck and forehead.

Thousands of soldiers rushed toward Yan Miansheng’s command tent. He had ordered the tent to be set up even while soldiers were bleeding; he feared more rain, and with the tent up, he could finally rest easy.

The scout beside him hurriedly unwrapped the disposable tableware and presented the food that "Dog-head" Liu loved to eat. Though "Dog-head" Liu had black lines of frustration across his forehead and was gnashing his teeth in hatred, he truly had no other options at the moment.

Hearing this unusual sound, An Rui logically deduced the possibility. His eyebrows rose immediately, his vigilance heightened, and he drew his long sword.

He saw Han Li withdraw both palms, a faint mass of profound energy appearing on his hands, displaying a mysterious grayish-black color. This mass, containing a power that transcended the ordinary, caused Han Li’s physical body to endure immense strain, and his clothes were completely destroyed in that instant.

"To call it a 'cleansing' is not enough to describe the severity of the situation. Within a single week, all government officers—and even non-commissioned officers—who refused to obey the National Front or buy into the schemes of those simple-minded, single-track thugs were dismissed on the spot. Those who resisted or incited mutiny were executed on the spot."

"Hmph! You used Han Li’s power to satisfy your own private desires; you are by no means the noble person you claim to be!" Jiuyuan said indignantly.

Feng Yufei sighed, walked behind Axiang, and patted his shoulder gently, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.
