Volume 1, Chapter 60: 10 Tons of Gold Equals 100 Million!

His granddaughter's words reminded Su An. He recalled that his son's health had also been extremely poor for a period of time, which forced him to wonder if his son had also fallen victim to their schemes.

"You're right, that is very likely. Think about it—your dad is away all year round, so it certainly wouldn't be convenient for them to make a move." Su An went to the drawer to find a flashlight. Guided by its beam, he used a pair of tweezers to extract the glass shards from his granddaughter's palm.

Then, he applied iodine all over the wound and finally wrapped it with gauze, tying it into a large butterfly knot.

Looking at the butterfly knot brought back memories of his wife's death, who had passed away after rolling down the stairs and injuring her head. A sudden realization struck him, and his eyes widened in horror.

"I..."

Because it brought him incomparable humiliation, causing the three hundred True Martial Realm cultivators and four Heavenly Martial Realm stewards of the Wind Lotus Mansion to slaughter one another, and because Liu Chen, the master of Gravel Valley who had been punished to undergo closed-door seclusion for three thousand years, was precisely among those in this formation.

The airship cleaved through the waves and forged ahead. Neither Li You nor Chi You spoke. Both closed their eyes to rest and quietly released their perception, searching for the aura of the Quake Talisman.

The physical offensive power of the Giant Axe had already reached the absolute pinnacle of the Universe Sea, and his defensive capability could even be said to have reached the limit of the Universe Sea.

The strength of such Universe Masters, who had once dominated the Universe Sea for several reincarnation eras, was only at the peak of the ninth tier.

Chu Tian knew that Mu Wanqing would surely be worried, so naturally, he had to say something to comfort her.

"It seems things are coming to an end, then." William's voice came from the deep pit not far away. When Mori and his companion looked over, William was walking toward them with the assistance of a true High Priest.

Danchen understood very clearly that if the entity residing on this island was truly a peak-tier monster, entering it meant certain death! Even with the combined power of his Heart Sword and the Void-level Purple Cloud Celestial Star Crocodile, he was by no means a match for a peak-tier monster.

"I don't want anything else; I just want to take your life." Lin Feng looked at Wang Batian, shook his head indifferently, and then said flatly. He couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Wang Batian, because it was completely meaningless.

This fiend felt a pang of dread in its heart, knowing that they had arrived at their destination. It was terrified that this fellow Aputuo would be indiscriminate and devour it along with the rest.

The metal moved on its own. Gas carrying a trace of chill leaked from the opened seam of the metal, and a slightly inclined staircase appeared before the Lizard Sapient.

However, a shot fired at such close range inexplicably missed. The captain couldn't help being startled. He performed a roll right where he stood, trying to dodge out of the way before firing a second shot.

Especially with Chen, who had always been dutifully loyal; if the Virtuous Prince's Mansion were to take offense over this matter, they, as veterans of the Imperial Guard, would truly have no face to face their former comrades-in-arms ever again.

Finally, she understood that with Lin An's carefree nature, all things in the world were like passing clouds, leaving no trace in her heart. The only thing she cared about was him—how could there be any grievances or injustices?

The people of the Ou family looked terrifyingly gloomy, even ten times gloomier than Ou Yuanlan. It was an environment like this that made her want to flee even before she got close.

Upon arriving at the hot pot restaurant, Lin Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were quite a few people here, at least it wasn't as crowded as the movie theater just now.

Ye Chen headed toward the peak of the mountain range. As soon as he entered the area shrouded in immortal mist, he immediately felt an invisible pressure, one that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Had it been someone with a stronger sense of pride or a worse temper, there was no telling how their initial desire might have reversed upon hearing those words.

The two sleeve daggers collided with the Demon-Suppressing Ancient Sword, and Yu Tianlong's offensive surged forward like a violent storm. I casually neutralized Yu Tianlong's attacks; this onslaught, which was clearly much fiercer than before, seemed to have even less effect on me than the previous one, which inevitably made Yu Tianlong frown. An illusion?

"This young girl's constitution is somewhat special; it's naturally inclined to coldness, and encountering this freezing lake water only makes things more complicated." Suddenly, an elderly man walked out. He was Chinese and dressed plainly.

Ji Ruomin's heart was beating wildly. She secretly glanced at her sister, and seeing that she hadn't noticed, she formed a silent, reproaching pout: "Bad guy." Quietly, she lay down in the crook of her lover's arm and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.

Though Shen Feng could no longer participate in the research for the time being, he was still a member of the research institute, and his weight within it was by no means negligible.

Both maternity matrons tacitly assumed that once the baby came out of the incubator, Huang Qingruo would breastfeed it. Even now, Huang Qingruo wouldn't even spare a glance at the baby's photos or care about its daily condition.

Shen Yan's brow twitched. She shook out her carelessly discarded clothes and, sure enough, found several long needles resting right underneath—lying right on top like that, weren't they afraid of pricking themselves?

Qin Ce managed his underground world in perfect order, and his tactical strategies were even superior to those of Jiang Yitian.

Looking at her smug expression at that moment, anyone who didn't know better would have thought she already had a few million tucked into her pocket.

Huang Qingruo stated that she had no time, having only taken a half-day leave, and intended to return directly to the museum for work afterward.

In rainless weather, enduring the wind and blazing sun as the scorching heat baked the earth, Tian Kunhe wore a straw hat, draped a towel around his neck, and used a hoe to weed the fields. Sweat dripped from the top of his head; when it got too hot, he wiped it away with the towel, draped it back over his neck, and continued weeding with his head down.

Wang Mazi's wife spat fiercely at Zhang Ming, who was cowering against the base of the wall with his hands protecting his head. In a fury, she picked up the black pot she had brought and smashed it hard onto the ground. With a loud "crack," it shattered into pieces, and within the fractured bottom of the pot lay a steaming pile of human feces.

The hand with which Jian Yu gripped her phone turned white, the anger on her face and in the depths of her eyes on the verge of breaking through her control.

Zuo Mo knew he couldn't easily tell others about his clairvoyance. Even if he told Yun Yan, Yun Yan probably wouldn't believe it.

The man's gaze was too striking, lingering on her unceasingly. Shen Yueji trembled with anger and simply reached out a hand, wanting to grab the clothes hanging on the screen. Only after grasping empty air did she realize Shuangxi hadn't come in yet to bring her clothes.
