Volume 1, Chapter 27: Jiang Yutang Schemes to Force Her Admission of Fault

Madam Xie remained unimpressed.
Is it not perfectly normal for her to distrust Jiang Yutang?
Was there any need to make a special point of saying it again?
It makes it seem as though her son had wronged Jiang Yutang in some great way, or perhaps...
The clothes appeared a bit too loose and long, but fortunately, they were intended as combat attire; once Shen Ci cinched the cuffs and trouser legs with straps, they no longer hindered him.
Thus, he felt utterly lost, bewildered by what he should do. In the end, this was certainly not the outcome he had hoped to see.
In truth, he was simply unlucky. The Demon King of Shadow Spiders had originally forged eighteen tokens for this alliance, but due to an unforeseen incident during their transport, the Demon King had no choice but to have one of his own ready-made tokens sent to him.
The intense heat not only fused the steel but also ignited his collar, as if a ring of fire had been fastened around his neck.
It would have been fine had Xu Bangda respected this unwritten rule, but Xu Bangda was as stubborn as a mule, repeatedly undermining Xie Zhiliu.
Two weeks after submitting his application, Li Qing received an invitation from the Venice Film Festival jury, though whether he would be officially selected remained unknown.
Unless Chen Zheng released the superpower serum, the number of official superpowered individuals would certainly not be high for a very long time. Within the community of superpowered beings, the majority would be reservists whose abilities were significantly inferior to those of official superpowered individuals, barely stronger than ordinary people.
Fortunately, after research, Chen Zheng concluded that the Origin Virus lacked the ability to communicate via biological waves; otherwise, he would have had to consider advancing the technological level of Planet Cangqiong to facilitate interstellar migration. If Chen Zheng himself could find no way to kill the virus, then the other scientists of Planet Cangqiong stood even less of a chance.
Xiao Xi had once had someone test it: if one did not use internal energy for protection, his attack power was enough to finish off a cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Although she had initially intended to seduce her own brother, she had not actually done anything decisive up to this point.
Lin Lei’s appearance dealt a heavy blow to the commander’s once-abundant confidence; he began to doubt that even if he could capture Earth’s Pluto fortress, it would be enough to force the Earthlings to submit.
"Puff!" The person who rushed out to catch his companion never expected that merely catching him would result in his own severe injury.
The Emperor assumed personal rule, honored the Holy Mother Empress Xiaokang, and investigated previous imperial edicts. Oboi failed to implement the ceremonies for enshrinement in the Ancestral Temple and the Fengxian Hall, as well as the petitions for implementation. This constituted deception of the monarch and disrespect toward the Holy Mother. This was the tenth crime.
The Abyssal Demon Dragons in this Abyss were already pitifully rare; it was unexpected that Demogorgon’s summons would draw several of them here, which served to illustrate Demogorgon’s immense influence within the Abyss.
"Hiss, hiss." The three-headed python seemed quite satisfied with this move, its tongue flicking continuously. It appeared pleased with itself, yet it had not realized that the danger was only just beginning to descend.
"Old Wu, what on earth is going on here?" Bart asked Wu Zun with a look of bewilderment on his face.
Regardless of what misgivings Mike Dyson might have had, Han Jun successfully steered the conversation away. Upon hearing that Han Jun wanted to visit the World Trade Center, Mike Dyson readily agreed.
"Boss, is there any news about Yan'er?" An anxious voice called out, and then Zhang Fei’s figure appeared beside Long Wuming.
What kind of organization could possess such capability, and what kind of organization would harbor such intense hatred for the Dark Alliance? Aside from the Church of Light, it could only be that mysterious organization.
In the east and west side chambers, the Five Ghosts shuttled back and forth incessantly. Yet, after bustling about for a while, they drifted back to surround Chen Mengsheng empty-handed, bickering and blaming one another. They all faulted the others for failing to find any treasure. Chen Mengsheng was also deeply puzzled; he had never heard of the Five Ghosts of Wealth returning empty-handed.
