Chapter 599

Xiao Yu looked at the old King of Shu with calm eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I do not seek the Western Shu court's grant of power—I only ask for a title."

With a title, I can act effectively.

How to turn this 'title' into real, effective power is my own concern.

Of course, given the urgency of the situation, there is no time for courtly scheming.

Therefore, regarding the governance of local prefectural officials and troops, I hope Your Majesty will grant my 'title' genuine authority.

Thirty years ago, Ling Xiude schemed to kill Ling Ye's grandfather in a struggle for the family headship; at that time, Ling Ye had not yet been born, but Ling Ye's father, Ling Fenghai, was already eighteen.

After one training session, Draxler covered at least thirty percent more distance than the others, drenched in sweat.

This was originally a brigade, a temporary reinforcement unit provided by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters for Okamura Yasuji to stabilize the now extremely perilous situation in the Philippines.

The two subordinates did not hesitate; they grabbed Luo Yiyi and Liu Ruyan and ran off—they staying would do no good and only hinder Niu Dafen.

Ye Yun could likely understand Zhu Zhiqing's intentions, so he nodded in agreement, but declined the subsequent banquet invitation from the Zhu clan chief on the grounds of his unhealed injuries.

Su Xiaxia blinked in surprise—she had just arrived; what could she possibly help with, and what could she even do?

She spoke politely, for she still intended to trade in their village; establishing good relations early might net her more goods.

Suzuki Kantaro directly stated that if such bombings continued, Japan's homeland would not only be unable to defend itself, but would be unable to sustain further resistance.

On October 7th at noon, German troops in Austria entered northern Italy and engaged in limited combat with Italian forces.

Several battalion commanders grew disheartened, but soon recovered, since no other battalion commanders had gained any 'advantage' either.

If an animal's offspring is too weak, the mother will abandon it and leave with the stronger one.

Inside were molten iron sand, capable of being recast into steel; after processing by the Bomb Man and his team, the steel's quality was not poor.

If not for me, as brigade commander, repeatedly covering for him, he would have been thrown off a cliff long ago to feed the dogs.

Correct, Li Hongsheng is a Natural-type; his perception is the strongest among everyone here—if even he cannot sense it, no one else could possibly know.

When the Mushroom Spirit was thrown into this unfamiliar environment, it immediately looked bewildered. After standing frozen in place for several seconds, it began twisting its mushroom head left and right, as if surveying its surroundings.

Li Bo found it odd—usually by this time, when he returned, Junran would already be preparing lunch, but today Junran was still mending shoes and had not started cooking.

"Get out! You bastard! You big brute who supports your old whore!" Just as the couple had been enjoying the mysterious space's irresistible quiet, a string of curses suddenly rang out; Tian Feng'er halted her steps, gripped his large hand, and stood still to listen.

This was only the beginning—dozens of Demon Kings poured in from every hill and valley, and under their encouragement, the Demon Spirits and Great Demons stirred restlessly, charging after them, eager to seize a share in the chaos.

Ye Qingjue's words, "We respectfully see you off," jolted everyone awake; they scrambled out the door like refugees.

"You don't have to do it that way, brother—you must take this." Liu Dejiang handed him a savings passbook.

"I can also gather intelligence." Tian Chen's ability was shape-shifting; both his and Yilan's invisibility were support-type abilities, leaning heavily toward intelligence gathering and reconnaissance.

"Don't you find this scene familiar?" Ignoring their quarrel, Jun Jie's sole focus was Jun Rui—his gaze never left Jun Rui.
