Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Video Is Fake

"Very well, as you wish." The researcher reached into his pocket and walked away. After a few steps, he suddenly pulled out a gun, aimed it at General Stryker, and pulled the trigger.

Matthew's voice came through, the sense of anticipation gradually mounting, becoming particularly palpable when silence fell over the intercom.

That day, Fairy Lingxiang approached Xun Yi with a timid expression. After sitting down opposite him, she appeared as if she had something she wanted to say but held back.

At the same time, the genetic detector began to beep, its indicator light shifting from green to red.

As long as she remained by his side and fed him her own blood whenever his Gu poison flared up, he could live as long as anyone else!

"All right, I didn't bring you back through reincarnation just so you could chat," Orochimaru interrupted the trio's conversation.

"You should have brought me some weed for this." Derek took the cigarette, searched for a long time, and realized he didn't have a lighter, as if he didn't remember ever having quit smoking.

Now that he was already half in the grave, let him die in peace, rather than losing his life in the midst of flashing blades and shadows.

Qian Jiyun knew the situation had drastically changed. Being a man who understood the nuances of advance and retreat, he realized that the power Mo Zichen wielded was beyond his ability to resist. He turned decisively and flew downward.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the enemy has someone skilled in medical ninjutsu who reattached his arm," Yamato noted.

Under these circumstances, Pan Jie naturally dared not let LGD continue to degenerate, so she constantly brainstormed countermeasures.

Watching Lin Xingxin stand there with bedhead, looking completely bewildered, Fu Jinchen shook his head with a smile and reached out to carry her to the bathroom.

But then, something unexpected happened to Xie Zhi: the old man before him slowly and feebly raised his hand.

Having calmed down, Wang Shengnan scrutinized Li Shiqing meticulously from head to toe, and she, too, sensed that something was different.

Yao Xinyi was in the middle of a pleasant dream when she saw the transparent box slip from the agent's hand, crash to the floor, and shatter, the disc rolling out from within.

Watching Gintoki's back disappear after a few flashes of movement, Minato finally understood why Gintoki had taken the initiative to accept such a mission.

But it was clear that Team DAN had meticulously planned their tactics to create a miracle.

Calculating at this rate, under normal circumstances, it would take him six years to advance to the second level of Foundation Establishment, provided there were no bottlenecks.

But Xie Zhi gritted his teeth, spat out blood from his tongue, and shouted the name of the Crimson Vow once again.

Those people who were well-dressed, carrying branded bags, and strutting in sky-high heels were considered relatively wealthy. Moreover, they were vain; even if robbed, they wouldn't dare make a sound. As long as they stayed silent, their status on this street wouldn't be shaken, and the robbers would always have something to gain.

"I don't want to cause him trouble. Especially not at a time like this." He wouldn't let him fall into danger, just as he wouldn't let Ye Li suffer heartbreak again. He would take care of that matter. They didn't need to worry about anything else.

"Please ask Director Qian Qiyue to come to my office." Yang Jiazhen's voice was calm, but if one listened closely, it carried the weight of a thunderbolt. She could only hope Qian Qiyue would look out for herself. "All right, I understand," she heard her own voice cracking.

Ye Shaoxuan looked toward the people a hundred miles away. There were at least a million of them, led by three major factions, stationed in an orderly fashion. The area was dense with lethal arrays—their own defensive measures—and several formidable auras emanated from within; clearly, Supreme Saint-level powerhouses were presiding over them.

Seeing that Wang Rumeng was no longer holding a grudge, Li Zixiao closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of peace. First Liang Yan, then Wang Rumeng—an ominous premonition arrived as expected. Who knew what else might happen?

Ye Fan stopped speaking, and Qian Qiyue grew calm. After a while, Qian Qiyue proposed to leave. Until she walked out of Dark Fire, Ye Fan didn't even lift his head to look at her. They had been getting along so well before; putting on this act now was just adding to the frustration.

As it turned out, this banquet became something she felt ashamed of whenever she recalled it. She had thought that as long as she performed well, she could gain Yang Jia's attention, and that if she obediently helped him solve his worries, he would discover her merits and slowly grow close to her. She had clearly planned everything.

"Brothers, get ready. If they make the first move, don't hold back," Liu Wei said, his eyes sharpening as he lowered his voice to his subordinates.

Hiding behind the rockery, Li Zixiao’s mind kept replaying the vicious words Qian Hao had thrown out when the police took him away. Li Zixiao didn't take Qian Hao’s words to heart, but he was worried that after being taken away by the police, Qian Hao would return to school unscathed the next day.

I also knew the purpose of He Liancheng pursuing him all this way. If there was any room left to save He Xiao, He Liancheng might have warned him to leave the Imperial Capital, perhaps even hinting that the money he had taken from the group would be enough to let him live comfortably elsewhere until old age.

That day, just as Luo Tianya stepped out of the department store, she was stunned by two eggs thrown directly at her face.

Ling Xiao stopped asking where they were going, but he remained highly vigilant. If Ma Guoqing and his men attempted to harm him, he would strike first. Although these soldiers had undergone professional military training, they were nothing in his eyes. He was fully confident he could subdue them before they could even aim their guns at him.
