Chapter 61: Anger

The ability to establish permanent teahouses and restaurants in such a location was a clear testament to the hidden influence and power backing the owner. However, fortune favors the bold, and the business of these establishments was remarkably thriving.

"Very well, then it is settled!" Zhao Xu struck the imperial couch heavily and said with delight.

"As for your brother, he has gone to fetch your medicine and will be back shortly. Sister Xu, if you feel too weak, let me help you wipe your body," Chang Zijun stepped forward and said with a feigned smile.

Of course, even if Liu Xu had genuinely wished to refuse back then, they would never have ceased their pursuit of him. From beginning to end, they firmly believed that keeping Liu Xu in Huaguo would only stunt his talent and development, and that only the broader environments of America or Europe could serve as the true stage to unleash his brilliance.

First of all, wine was an absolute necessity. Without it, he would forfeit a powerful combat skill for no reason.

Chu Yun had no idea how to express his emotions; this was simply too supernatural! The mere thought that Zhao Das ghost might actually be lingering nearby sent a shudder running down his scalp.

Yet at this moment, Liu Xu's heart truly ached with a piercing pain. The million-annual-salary from the Shanghai Television Station Phase II was barely enough to maintain the flora in the villa's outer gardens for a little over three years.

"You maniac, I am hanging up!" the head of the liaison office cursed, concluding that Liunianfeng was mostly likely a lunatic, and prepared to disconnect the call. At the same time, however, she ordered her subordinates to trace the network signal in an attempt to pinpoint Liunianfeng's location so they could arrest him and interrogate him however they pleased.

"Sister Jingjing said there is no rush, and that we can discuss it after passing the interview. I think so too. Your Aunt Hong should be arriving in the next couple of days, and we can all go take a look together then," Mother Liu said upon hearing Liu Xu's words.

This illumination seemed a bit excessive; the grand display looked more like a multitude of people holding up candles, or perhaps the patrolling imperial guards. Yet, hadn't they just patrolled a moment ago? Why were they back so soon?

While feeding the pigs with Man'er earlier that day, she had even thought about castrating them. She had originally wanted to ask the village chief if there were any professional pig castrators around, and had casually mentioned it while simmering the green bean paste.

Siyue knew deep down that she was not someone who wished to make things difficult for a concubine, but hearing it spoken aloud by Madam Zhao only left her feeling heartbroken.

Wei Chang'an felt slightly more at ease, yet the words Gu Rongheng had spoken that day continued to haunt her with a persistent sense of panic, as if an ominous event were about to descend upon her.

Especially upon seeing that Duan Yu possessed no martial prowess whatsoever, this despair ultimately dissolved into a mere sigh.

Siyue had originally intended to persuade her eldest brother to see if he could accept it. Only after hearing her husband articulate it did she realize her husband was entirely right.

Liu Juan had already washed the bowls and was meticulously wiping the kitchen counter. She scrubbed it until it was spotless and gleaming, yet even so, she still felt it was not clean enough.

The generals led their troops galloping off in all directions, each driving their respective forces to pitch camp and establish fortified positions in the northern areas of Hefei city.

When she woke from this sleep, it was already past two in the afternoon. She had no idea whether Fu Zhengtu had taken a lunch break, nor when he had gotten up to go to work.

Chu Hengkong's gaze swept across the mounting brackets of the ten machine guns, and he hooked the final hidden weapon with two fingers.

Dazuka Ichiro hesitated. Company shares could not simply be traded at whim. If the other party acquired such a massive stake, it would be equivalent to holding the windpipe of the Toyo Group, and Qin Hao's words would henceforth become absolute law within the corporation.

Jiang Weiguo made his intentions abundantly clear: to rally a faction of people and collectively suppress the experts in biological genetics.

Several security guards rushed in, calling the police and an ambulance, before tightly surrounding Shao An and Ye Xiran.

Chen Kang had to cultivate a good relationship with him and maintain contact in order to gain access to the true world of cultivation.

She simply turned and headed toward the kitchen. Unable to hold back her curiosity, Lin He picked up an oil lamp and went out with her eldest sister-in-law to inspect the massive wild boar.

Compared to Di Xin and Su Daji, those loyal ministers and righteous martyrs held Queen Jiang in far greater respect, even though she resided within the cold palace.

Zhang Nian'an did not speak; he merely tapped his fingers against the table. Finding that it produced no sound, he began patting the table instead, offering frantic hints.

Connecting Lu Lingyan's experience tonight with her thoughts, Xu Lingyan felt that Lu Wanning's words made a great deal of sense. Gradually, her heart settled, and she waited in peace for the imperial physician's arrival.

Chen Kang's straight punch was swifter and more domineering than before, carrying a subtle charm of turning decay into magic.

Konoha's intelligence regarding the Akatsuki was quite scarce, because this organization was remarkably inconspicuous—resembling an utterly ordinary band of rogue ninja, and operating primarily within the isolationist Land of Rain. Konoha's intelligence division was not even aware that an organization named "Akatsuki" existed.

The teachings of the Chan Sect were aloof and often unpleasing to others, yet their educational system and methods for cultivating disciples were immensely powerful.

Xing Luo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to trust Wang Xinran. He rapidly retreated, clearing a vast expanse of space so that Wang Xinran could fully unleash his abilities.

I dressed up before heading out. Upon arriving at the hotel mentioned by Zhu Wei, I gave her a call, and she immediately came down from the banquet hall to meet me. The moment I caught sight of her, I let out a cry of admiration.

Those shot dead collapsed and never rose again, while those not hit in vital organs fell to the ground with arrows protruding from their bodies, rolling about and wailing in agony.

Yet I had already departed, dragging my steps, carrying my bag, and walking with heavy, hesitant paces across the carpet.

"What is there to be afraid of? At worst, we can find another place and start anew. Could it be that with the weapons in our hands, we cannot open up new mineral deposits?" Yang Xiao said nonchalantly.
