Chapter 165: The Great Economic Depression and Return to DC

After returning to London for a few days, Su Qing stayed at the manor, partly handling Umbrella's affairs; the company had developed for over fifty years, and its branches had already reached London.

On the other hand, he needed to familiarize himself with the trident.

After all, the trident is a weapon he, who practices knives and swords, isn't very familiar with; he'd have to learn its techniques on the spot, which is a bit troublesome.

After a month, once his affairs were settled, Su Qing had the manor steward take care of everything and then opened the portal.

Zhong Kui's words left Lin Ming deep in thought; he never expected that even Zhong Kui would sense that Zhang Guoguo was somewhat mysterious, yet seeing Zhang Guoguo giggling while playing with Pikachu, he really couldn't believe she was someone with such deep scheming.

Even a few months earlier, he had already competed with Luo Tian several times through intermediaries.

The two didn't linger; after exchanging a few polite words, Lin Ming headed toward Mount Dongqiu, which originally wasn't called Dongqiu Mountain—it got that name because of Dongqiu Temple's fame, and its original name had long been forgotten.

The army's march differed from the cavalry's light travel; unless Lou Dan and Xiluo Ao dared to abandon supplies and rush ahead to Yunzhong Commandery.

"If Second Brother's medical skills are so good, how could he get infected? Big Brother, are you joking with us?" Zhao Hu laughed incredulously and retorted.

But the Xianbei didn't do that; instead, they slowed their march. This puzzled him greatly—day after day it continued. If they really kept that pace, by the time the Xianbei army reached the outskirts of Yunzhong Commandery, it would be about half a month later.

After settling in Mayi, he immediately sent people to inquire, looking for any household in the city surnamed Zhang that had a ten-year-old son named Zhang Liao.

Just as Duan Kun's people had left, a passerby took the unconscious Fo Ye for an escaped mental patient and quickly called the psychiatric hospital.

Moreover, to appear wealthy, he even ran his hand through his oily hair.

"They've left." said the scar‑faced driver, his voice hoarse like a crow's cry.

Lin Huaquan's Silver Armor Army and Nie Yao's Steel Army dwindled as they fought; Lin Huaquan kept retreating, continually channeling new energy to keep the soldiers' battle armor functioning.

Wu Ya, though a high school graduate, couldn't come up with that much silver on short notice, leaving him hesitant.

From the expressions of Qin Yi and Old Lu, it was clear that the Prince of Zhen Nan was someone they hadn't anticipated.

As Yueyu Han's words fell, four giant bears sprang up around him, raising their ice claws in the same posture to attack; Yueyu Han hastily cast an illusion to leave a decoy, then, bearing the Nether Moon Orchid, he turned into a flash of lightning and sped out of the bears' encirclement.

A golden wave of light appeared, and the Wolf King's claws flashed toward Guan Xi, instantly forming a tangible‑looking claw shadow.

"What are you laughing at? You've tricked another nice girl into your hands—are you happy about that?" Luo Bing crossed her arms over her slightly swollen belly, not yet large, and deliberately put on a stern face, giving Liu Huaidong a cold stare.

Such behavior, distrusting one's own strength, absolutely cannot be indulged; at worst it means losing money, but for the Richest of the Six Realms, losing money is nothing at all.

What exactly has Zhou Mou done wrong that the heavenly tribulation is brewing such terrifying tribulation lightning to deal with him?

After repeated heavy blows, the giant mutated mantis's agile speed was finally affected, but the insect's inherent vigor still gave it the power to strike back.

At that moment, Zhang Kai's treatment was nearly finished; seeing him made me happy, but there was no time to greet him.

"My people are outside; you can't easily leave. I think we should talk properly—reasonable demands I can meet, but you can't take this box." Chen Maidong said, feigning calm.

Improper, Yan Hanyu is just momentarily muddled; once he sobers up, he will return to her side. Yes, that must be it; now we cannot force it, otherwise making Hanyu dislike us would be troublesome.
