Volume 1, Chapter 30: Even More Like a CEO Than His Brother

Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard, a chill running down their spines. It wasn't until Gu Jinyan had carried the person away for quite some time that they finally let out a sigh of relief. Seeing the Jiang family standing in the middle, they could no longer suppress their inner frustration and began to lash out.

"Jiang is your surname, but being a nouveau riche is your destiny; how truly wretched."

"You blind fools, unable to recognize a phoenix—hurry up and take your precious crow back to its coop, and stop coming out to plague others!"

The insults grew sharper with every word, as if they were desperate to vent all the threats they had just endured from Gu Jinyan onto the Jiang family. Even those who weren't powerful enough to associate with the Gu family dared not be seen with the Jiangs at this moment.

Minutes later, a large contingent of bombers arrived and began another round of carpet bombing inside the shipyard, focusing on destroying the ground structures and the dilapidated, riddled warships and vessels.

Qi Hui was furious; he had spent a fortune hiring a bunch of useless people! He ordered two bodyguards to bring the cooks into the room and, without a word, forced them all to their knees.

With the sudden attack on the State of Cao, it was clear that at least three or four legions would need to be mobilized to deal with the State of Qi. The defenses on the east bank of the Tongyuan River were bound to be severely compromised, making this opportunity far better than the one ten years ago.

The merchant ship owner had taken Xu Ping’s silver but failed to honor his commitment. When Xing Mingfan went ashore, he realized that Lushun had long been passed, and this place was called Zhenjiang Fortress. There were about a hundred military households in the fortress, along with Korean merchants who had come to trade.

As it was the beginning of spring, farmers were already working in the fields along the roads. Upon seeing Ding Qiu in the middle of the procession, they stopped their work one by one to loudly greet the heir to the Protector of the State.

"I'll bite you!" Miao Nan was in earnest; she stepped forward, grabbed Wan Kang’s hand, and bit down on his wrist.

After landing, Tian Xiang looked helplessly at his GUYS uniform—most of his meager wages had been spent in the Gauss world, and the remaining money could barely ensure a place for him and Saiqila to stay, and that was only assuming Japanese Yen were still in circulation here.

In fact, the Japanese military's retreat was not a decision made by the Southern Army Headquarters, but an order from the Imperial General Headquarters in Tokyo.

Yi Feng had formulated the explosive and was even praised by the Emperor, but instead of joy, his heart was filled with worry.

To avoid attracting attention, the physician Shao Shi found servant’s clothes for Su Qinghong, specifically sent her out through the corner gate, and arranged a sedan chair for her.

Yu Qiu-yu was surprised; she hadn't expected her first attempt at baking to yield such excellent results with this type of mushroom.

She simply took out the jade slips of her martial uncles and her master to see if she could glean any information.

"Yes, Grandmaster, I will remember. Thank you, Grandmaster." I excitedly took the Nine-Soul Yin-Yang Whip from his hands, looking it over again and again; the more I looked, the more I loved it.

The Jade Emperor remained expressionless. He gripped the wrist of Long Feiyi—who was holding a feng shui flag—with one hand, while his other hand slowly rose.

The system, which had flickered for a moment, suppressed the urge to snuff out its host and responded in a dry, indifferent tone.

Clutching the area that was clearly more prominent than before, Yi Mengmeng was on the verge of tears. What happened to the slogan, "A cup of bitter tea, fighting until dawn"?

A sound like cracking beans echoed from Big Bear’s knuckles and arms, followed by a sharp, piercing pain that flooded his mind.

He sat there motionlessly for a long time, the conflict in his eyes lingering. Finally, his heart hardened slightly.

Come to think of it, she had not only heard of this Fairy Ling Wei but had even met her once. Even in the Immortal Realm, where beauties were everywhere, she was an outstanding fairy. When she wasn't smiling, she was a cold beauty, but once she smiled, she could make one feel as if spring had returned to the earth.

We had originally thought this final step would proceed according to our plan, but we never imagined that at the most critical moment, someone would betray Old Five. Brother Long found out everything—it had all been a farce orchestrated by Old Five himself.

When Luo Xi and Linna arrived, they both concealed their strength to avoid revealing their identities, for the hearts of gods are treacherous.
