Chapter 146: The Reversal

The managers of the other families exchanged glances, yet none of them were willing to place another bid.

When they came to participate in the bidding, the lowest price given to them by their respective families was five strings of cash.

Now that the Shi family had bid four strings, it was already equivalent to the cost price of a single book. Without authorization from their families, they dared not raise the bid recklessly.

"Is anyone else bidding?" Zhao Su's gaze fell upon the managers of the Wang family and the others.

......

The white shockwave shattered a large swath of tentacles, revealing the battered execution stand. Ace, who had been bound to the platform, had vanished.

Bian Tianci and Langwa arrived at a vast, barren wasteland. With virtually no life forms present here, there was no risk of injuring the innocent, making it an ideal spot for them to engage in a fierce and unrestrained battle.

Come to think of it, the Knicks already had Houston and McGrady; even if Ginobili were to come, he wouldn't serve much purpose. If they truly couldn't secure him in the draft, there was no need to force it.

At this moment, Euphemia was clearly under the control of Lelouch's runaway Geass, just like in the original storyline.

It could be said that back then, Tang Huang had harbored infinite expectations for what Li Kaiming might discover through his research. Yet up to the present day, Li Kaiming's research had remained perpetually stuck at the stage of matter conversion.

A mecha pilot swung their craft around to face the right side of the sand dune, where the body's scanning monitor suddenly displayed a massive hollow, shaped strikingly like a pair of giant gates.

"That girl must be terribly ugly since she wears a mask and refuses to let people see her face," Young Master Shijia said, shaking his fat head.

"Bring us two cups of your cafe's specialty coffee!" Tang Huang did not ask for Angela's opinion because he knew that even if he did, she would likely give the exact same reply.

"Professor Lleroles is simply too cunning! He actually hid people away," Merlin couldn't help complaining to Green.

The Bull King grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. His strength had progressed at a tremendous pace; by now, he was a formidable powerhouse at the peak of the stellar domain. However, lacking the refined demeanor expected of an expert, he looked rather like a reckless brute, quite volatile and hot-tempered.

Before leaving, Doudou placed one of her newly minted scientific research achievements in Lin Bai's office.

"Please go ahead and ask, Young Master Zhong. This old man will tell you everything truthfully!" the acrobat said with a radiant face, looking far better than he had when he first stepped off the donkey cart.

"After the baptism of all these years, I let go of the past long ago. The only thing I cannot let go of is you," Zhao Yong said with immense emotion.

The phone in her bag kept buzzing. Glancing at the caller ID, the look in her eyes gradually turned frigid. Gently wiping away the tear tracks at the corners of her eyes, she lifted her gaze once more toward the photograph embedded in the tombstone, the corners of her lips curving slightly upward.

With the realm now in a state of absolute peace and no pressing affairs of state demanding attention, Zhang Lingyang naturally began visiting the scenic spots and historic sites within Yangzhou City.

"Are you really alright?" Zhang Weina ran over to Zheng Ye in disbelief, even reaching out to lift his clothes.

The rest were simply unsuitable, and Liu Qin also knew that in a place like the capital, addressing someone in that manner was inappropriate.

Due to Zhang Zhiyuan's sudden downfall, the gentry group was currently a scattered mess, entirely lacking its former cohesion.

This stone coffin indeed possessed some extraordinary qualities, containing a certain power of light. This power resembled the sun, yet differed somewhat, and was certainly not the product of the Huaxia cultivation system.

Ever since this child took over Lixing, he had become increasingly busy with work and spent even less time coming home. Yan Ru felt sorry for her son and wondered whether she should have him marry early so that he could stay quietly at home.

A-sheng shoved the space jade, now broken into two halves, into Cao Ang's hand, and then stepped out through the palace doors. Outside was the glorious scenery of early summer; the sun was setting and the moon was rising, carrying a warm breeze scented with blossoms. Yet the only time left to her was just enough to return to her own chambers and change her attire.

Head Eunuch Wang, who was attending nearby, shouted in a loud voice, "Silence!" For a moment, the court fell into a deathly stillness, and the sound of everyone's breathing became almost clearly audible.
