Volume 1, Chapter 32: The Duties of a Groom

When people commit evil acts, they are always fueled by an extra measure of malice.

The cars behind had been honking for a long time, but without Gong Bo's permission, the driver dared not move.

Shang Ruonan asked Green-Clad to use an iron drill to bore a hole and investigate, only to discover that after breaking through the outer layer of mud covering the wall, there was nothing but solid stone inside.

Seeing Shang Ruonan crying so bitterly, Murong Qing was startled and hurried to check on her. Finding that she was uninjured, he felt confused, as the message sent back by Qingfeng had been far from clear.

The one who wins in the end is the one who controls the bigger picture. Gong Bo thought this, a faint curve touching his lips—the smile of a victor.

If Lu Botong knew that Su Yang was actually the heir to the Yiye Group, he would realize that even if he owned dozens of identical companies, they would still pale in comparison to Su Yang's net worth.

Su Le failed to dodge the heavy truck in time, and it brushed past him with terrifying force.

It was true that Li Haosen had a good family background and could provide the life she wanted for now, but human greed is boundless; one is never satisfied with what they have, always feeling that something better is within reach.

The driver of the vehicle was the leader of the two assassins, a bald man, while the other sat in the passenger seat.

By the third month, Kou Baoyu was able to manage the Marquis's estate on her own, giving her a bit of spare time. Whenever she was free, she missed the father and son dearly. Since it was still winter in the border town, she worried whether they were keeping warm.

However, the number of times Mo Yichen was seen at the studio could be counted on one hand; some staff members had never even seen him once.

He had died quite peacefully. If not for the chaos at the scene, and the blood on the floor along with the shocking wound on his neck, no one would ever have looked at his expression and associated it with murder.

Tang Lin’s face remained calm as he let his body descend. Holding the Cloud-Piercing Sword in his hand, he closed his eyes, alert to everything around him.

Perhaps because he had found a kindred spirit, the old man’s smile deepened, and he played his vertical bamboo flute with even more melodious grace.

The eunuch waved his hand at another attendant, and someone immediately mounted the horse to ride out with Huangfu Li.

Clearly, these two heavenly generals from the Immortal Realm had heard of the disturbances in the lower realms and had arrived to suppress them.

Being able to maintain his composure at this point spoke well of Huang Xinghua’s resolve; had it been anyone else, they likely would have crumbled and chosen to surrender long ago.

Across from him, Liu Chen did not turn his head, yet he sensed the net spreading out behind him—an electromagnetic web.

Seeing Tang Lin close his eyes, Mi Guqiner and her four subordinates felt their hearts skip a beat, as if they sensed that something significant was about to happen.

An energy reactor exploded, causing the space carrier to shudder violently and grind to a halt, as if it had lost a vital power source.

The Nether Flower was something that did not exist; Mu Hongyu’s claim that Mu Hongyu was poisoned by it was a complete fabrication, intended only to provide a cover for Mu Youchen.

Tao Lulu was assisting Xiao Shaohua with the micropipette. Just as the afternoon shift was about to begin, she saw him suddenly turn off the detection probe, place the test tube containing the S-556 liquid sample back into the incubator, and stride out of the laboratory.

Everyone could see that the six of them were at the end of their strength; if they could just hold on a little longer, their defeat would be certain.

All the remaining officers and soldiers of the 235th Regiment set off southwards with the wind. Commander Zhao received a report from the company commander who had lit the signal fire, stating that not only had they heard constant gunfire from the north, but they had also seen the billowing smoke transform into a giant dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it charged northward.
