Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Warlords' Game, The World's Chessboard

She could not remember the past, and Yao Guilan was both blind and deaf, but her father had once said that Yao Guilan’s son and daughter-in-law had already passed away. When people who were supposed to be dead suddenly appeared, why didn't she harbor any suspicion or ask any questions?

After the hospital set Uncle Jiu's ribs, Lin Yang rented a vehicle and took Uncle Jiu back to the ghost house.

Ash leapt down from his horse's back and slowly walked toward Donovan. Recognizing him, Donovan turned his head to glare fiercely at the militia member who had brought the news, then stepped forward to salute Ash with a Berkeley military salute. "My lord, welcome back to Islamorada. And who is this?" His gaze immediately shifted to Plutoral standing behind Ash.

Even Raymond Chow on that side wasn't being too unreasonable; he had stated that this film would be given prime theater allocation, and if it truly became a box-office sensation, he might still consider collaborating with Mega Corporation.

Tufa Shujineng's reaction was equally swift. He sprang to his feet and leaped into the air, dodging several sword qi blasts in a single bound as the energy surged up from beneath his feet.

Qin Junshang deliberately avoided certain matters, avoiding the question of whether Luo Mingjiao, having forgotten him, would ever accept him.

In the past, Sun Dahai had been framed by a groupie, leaving him with lingering terror regarding such matters. Today, the demand made by Magic Johnson instantly brought those painful memories flooding back.

"Exactly, thought it was a one-time deal? Though good things have been happening continuously lately~ Perhaps," Chen added another remark after finishing.

Murong Hua treasured his life more than anyone else, but through his numerous clashes with Qin Junshang, he had already gauged how much Qin Junshang cherished Luo Mingjiao. Let alone the fact that there were no roadblocks ahead of them yet, even if there were, if he really forced his way through with Luo Mingjiao, Qin Junshang would most likely not dare to forcefully block them.

This set off the young monk, who clearly possessed not even a shred of mana aura around his body, making him look like an Arhat descended to earth or a Bodhisattva manifesting in the mortal realm.

With a thought stirring in her mind, Su Shu turned to target the two heterodox primordial spirits using the method of banishing outer celestial demons. After suppressing that trace of aura, she once again cleansed both primordial spirits with moonlight, instantly provoking a violent reaction from the pair.

Prior to this, Su Qianqian believed that her close friend would never be seen stepping into a kitchen in this lifetime. Yet now, without knowing the truth, her friend had metaphorically slapped her right across the face.

Reaching the top 16 of the final elimination tournament meant encountering tremendously powerful players—they might be players hailing from various major factions, or perhaps newly emerged elite players, among others.

Empress Zhou had been sitting dazedly in the pavilion for at least four hours, from early morning until sunset, without uttering a single word, only sighing heavily and weeping incessantly.

"Damn it, you deserve to die!" Yu Sheng did not know why such a sudden surge of fury erupted within him. Wielding the twin flying slash blades, he charged straight at Du Tie.

Fang Yuan leaned in close to Zhu Cihuan's face. As their gazes met, Zhu Cihuan closed his eyes in fright. He was like the fish and the chopping board while others held the knife and cleaver; he had no idea what kind of ending awaited him.

Before the couple could head downstairs, Guan Fusheng in the lobby had already rushed to the door with a speed that was by no means inferior to that of a young man. Fumbling clumsily, he turned and unlocked the rather aged and weathered old padlock.

Writing such a piece of nonsense to be sent to the capital, waiting for Zhu Yunwen to issue an imperial decree dispatching troops only for oneself to have already perished by then—wasn't attacking Xi'an right now akin to striking an egg against a rock and courting certain death?

At the very least, it has now been discovered that the culprits from three years ago and the ones from this time are the same group. We can just follow the clues from this incident and investigate slowly.

The air was suffused with a clamorous aura. Chuchu knew the extent of the strength residing within her body, but she had no idea just how formidable Golden Phoenix Feather truly was.

Sure enough, seeing Chen Chen's exaggerated acting, the five night-patrol guards simultaneously looked back over their shoulders. Their reaction unfolded exactly as Chen Chen had anticipated. Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, Chen Chen leaped abruptly and vanished beneath the slope.

The energy of the Soul Frost Armor hesitated for a fraction of a second before rapidly burrowing into Guan Xi's right leg, which was also the area most abundant in vital energy and blood throughout his entire body.

Complaining inwardly about Xinghui's unreliability, Chu Qingya agilely evaded the mutated beetle's attacks while cooperating with An Yunping to kill the creature.

Not long ago, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Shuang, who had long lived in seclusion in the capital, also died. Zhu Biao had been murdered in Xi'an, and although investigations revealed that the Prince of Jin and the Brocade Guard were behind it...

He then told her about his divorce with Liang Jingrui. Ye Suxun had not expected such a turn of events and, for a moment, did not know how to offer comfort.

By merely uttering a few words, he had terrified the man into wishing for death; Liu Chun's mastery was now only marginally inferior to that of Zhuge Wuhou. In truth, if one listened closely to Liu Chun's words, he hadn't actually spoken of anything substantive.

I poured two cups of tea and handed them to the two, though the tea was likewise cold, because given their special condition, they could not touch hot water for the time being.

Blind man pulled a firearm out from his bag, saying, "I still have one here." Ah Ning took it and fired another shot into the sky.

Zhou Yi had slept the entire afternoon, and by this time the alcohol had completely worn off. Sitting in the car, she dialed Pei Rao's number.

At this thought, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression stiffened. Records from the Ministry of Revenue showed that Kaiping County had achieved bumper harvests for three consecutive years, yet tax revenues had barely changed, amounting to a mere increase of one or two hundred taels of silver at most.

Pei Ye looked at her with pitch-black eyes, showing no intention of stepping inside whatsoever. Chi Miaomiao widened her eyes in astonishment: Out?

Reminded by the nurse, Su Qingyang and the other two realized that another colleague who had gone on the business trip with Bai Jie was also hospitalized.

At the exits of the underground shopping mall soaked in fuel, countless zombies and massive rats drenched in fuel swarmed out frantically.

Minako Sakei had already simulated the scenario twelve times, and each time her win rate was less than forty percent. A trace of fatigue now clouded Minako's face; the repeated simulations had exhausted her supernatural abilities.
