After Xuelan followed Lu Tianxiang outside, Yue Le held her bowl absentmindedly, biting on the chopsticks in her hand. Sitting opposite her was Shi Yuan, who, seeing Yue Le’s expression, roughly understood that Yue Le was feeling jealous.

The news was immediately relayed to Huang Feihu, while Dave and the others’ radio monitoring had already intercepted the submarine’s signals, which they also transmitted back to the Special Fleet.

Yue’er’s heart felt uneasy—not out of bitterness, but rather because she felt helpless. Two years of youth wasted, and what had she gained?

"Senior Elder!" It was only then that Lu Tianxiang realized it was the Senior Elder, and he respectfully nodded deeply.

Luo Haochen glanced briefly at Nan Hongxiang. His decision would not change due to anyone’s opposition, especially not from his father, whose image had long since changed in Luo Haochen’s mind.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yihua immediately wore an expression of impatience. "I know, I know," she said, then hesitated slightly, glancing around before reluctantly departing.

Both were young dreamers; under the influence of the wine, they talked late into the night before returning to their rooms to rest.

Junyang from Equilibrium Continent understood some about currency: one gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins or a thousand copper coins. Entering a city cost one copper coin. Watching the bustling crowds, Junyang sighed inwardly—just guarding a city gate could be so profitable. His spirit probed into the Sea-Absorbing Ring with a troubled expression.

The three of Nuo exchanged glances, each seeing surprise in the others’ eyes. Junyang’s speed, though not using teleportation, far exceeded that of the four eighth-rank powerhouses present, adding an air of mystery to him.

Ling Yue was utterly unaware of the chaotic emotions swirling inside her. Her mind buzzed incessantly, tangled thoughts and feelings drifting like a chaotic skein of threads lost in the wind, wandering across the sky and earth with no end. She could only press her lips into a slight smile and lower her head to sip jasmine tea.

At night, A Kai rarely returned before ten o’clock, sometimes only resting after the clock turned. This routine repeated ceaselessly, endlessly cycling.

In the end, he told Ye Man to think it over again. For now, he would get to work; since he had brought clothes and was prepared to stay, there was plenty of time for proper discussion.

“He was sentenced to eight years, and it’s only been half a year. Even in the U.S. Federal Prison system, the worst criminals in California’s Clinton Prison must have visitation rights for family, right?” Chen Yuanxi said.

Wilson’s ribs were already injured; now he couldn’t straighten up, sitting with both arms propped on the table.

The two descended slowly from the spiral staircase to the sound of piano music, the lighting casting a romantic and beautiful aura around them.

Hearing the stern tone, Lu Tuoyu was startled and sadly stopped moving, frozen in place.

“But I feel uneasy, A Wei. I want to see Uncle Feng, and on the way, see Mom,” Ji Min’s voice was hoarse. Tilting her head, she bitterly smiled.

Zheng Kai thought he would never see Gu Xi again, yet unexpectedly, Gu Xi returned from somewhere.

Mo Yuxin’s mood improved inexplicably with Leng Chenxuan’s dry joke. Seeing Mo Yuxin’s bright smile, Leng Chenxuan’s heart also lightened.

“Old Luo, act a bit gentler. Let’s first go handle business with Master Mo,” Zhang Dong said in a low voice, wiping his forehead with a tissue and carefully pulling shards of glass embedded in his flesh near the car mirror, all while chatting and laughing with the driver as if nothing had happened.

But the two before him wouldn’t do that—they disliked wearing identical outfits. Well, that was a powerful reason.

The quantum cutting saw whirred at high speed. As surgical assistants, Bubu Wang and Amu trembled nervously in the corner.

The accompanying bosses wished to meet the honorary president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce and hoped to admire the brilliance of Jade Ruyi from afar. This genuinely satisfied Zhu Hualiang’s vanity, so he agreed easily and invited the families of these bosses to visit his residence.

Offering something purely for Lu Yangguang to sign was the greatest extent to which Young Master Bai had mobilized his family’s resources.

Yan Xu preferred not to concern herself with such matters. She happily embraced Long Xiang’s neck, nestled in his arms.

After the Royal Merchants’ Conference ended, what remained was the banquet—time for the various bosses to socialize and strengthen bonds.

“All right, no more idle talk. Let’s go eat together!” Cai Daozhi said, waving his arm and leading the way toward the shipyard cafeteria.

Yet at this moment, Alice Tina and the others showed little emotional reaction. After all, with Tang Huang’s arrival, the subsequent political changes felt inevitable, so they weren’t particularly surprised by what Tang Huang had just proposed.

As they approached the river, a noticeable chill swept over them. The weather wasn’t especially hot yet, but with the cool air, Zhao Ruozhi shivered directly.

—Providing Bao Yuan with some aid was originally the wager in a certain match. Lan Zhijun herself was indifferent about the matter.

Cao Ge lowered his gaze toward himself, his eyes unable to hide his worry, a swirl of complex emotions difficult to balance.
