Chapter 559

“Is this the result you wanted?” Winnie found herself slightly confused, tilting her head as golden strands slipped from her temples; she blinked her pale gold eyes. “Why not just send people to wipe them out? Why go around in circles?”

CEC Harmonious Mining Corporation, perhaps in this world, is indeed a colossal entity, controlling vast resources, military power, and economic influence.

To this Living Saint, the CEC Corporation was less impressive than even a rebellious parent.

It was merely earned through hard work, at the cost of neglecting one’s children’s education.

A few minutes later, Wu Jin could no longer sit still; he rose and picked up the sweet, affectionate little dumpling girl in his arms.

Qin Mo Shang jolted awake, saw Lin Cha, curled his lips, yanked her hard onto the bed, then rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

“What does ‘telling blatant lies’ mean??” Zheng Yue stared blankly at Ouyang Nuan Nuan, voicing her confusion, then turned her gaze to Su Wu Shuang.

Unfortunately, Master Yi has retired and rarely makes tea himself anymore; even with money, it’s nearly impossible to obtain such a jar.

Ying Ren gave Wu Jin a slight nod, then left without hesitation, leading his team away; Team 12 continued their frantic performance.

Clearly, there was no time for breakfast; she merely grabbed her water cup, still containing water, its temperature still at 32 degrees Celsius.

Dela Clark was a Spanish madam running a white-owned brothel in Chinatown, fiery-tempered; in her youth, she had been officially registered as Hong Ye’s wife, which granted her current citizenship. Later, when mixed marriages became illegal, her marriage to Hong Ye automatically dissolved in California.

Huai Zhen listened closely, then delivered a stack of translated manuscript pages from the Old San Francisco Medical Records to the newspaper office.

This was Wei Xiao’s second time asking Chi Zao this question tonight; at the time, he squatted beside the bed, his eyes slightly red.

Gu Shui Xiu was very satisfied with the environment here: no hooligans or thugs, and all the houses along the alley were made of blue bricks and tiled roofs. Though not large, they were clean and tidy, giving a deeply comforting impression.

The Yuan family, seeing Dong Cheng Hu and Gu Shui Xiu dressed in dragon and phoenix robes, grew visibly nervous and awkwardly bowed to them.

“They’ve been controlled.” Hua Feng was the first to regain awareness; turning back, he saw the family disciples’ eyes had turned strange, and his heart leapt in alarm.

Wei Yuan Mu’s target was never the Crown Prince’s life; but there was no need to tell Xu Ming Shan this—not because it required secrecy, but because it was pointless to say: the matter was already over, and letting Xu Ming Shan speculate about the Imperial Uncle’s ambition actually benefited them.

“Da Lei? Er Lei? Who gave you such peculiar names?” She felt an inexplicable sense of warmth.

Jiang Zi Ning, seeing their posture, instinctively raised his hand, as if preparing to fight to the death.

The trusted aide breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the Wei Emperor stopped bothering them, it was fine—whose responsibility it was to bear didn’t concern them at all.

I sneered, then gazed into the distance. The place Bai Yi described—I’d only heard of it in the Underworld; its name was Beimang Mountain—but I never knew such a place existed in the mortal world.

“Deng Deng Deng…” Ding Jian stepped backward several paces, each step crushing the ground into deep craters; the force surged underground, shaking the corridor, which cracked open in massive fissures with a cacophony of snaps.

Lu Dan Xue spoke more and more sadly; in an instant, her eyes reddened slightly, her full lips glowing red, looking heartbreakingly lovely. Su Zhan quickly shook his head, silently exclaiming inside: what a powerful fox spirit—she nearly stole this prince’s soul.

Before Jiang Liu, a shimmering bronze mirror glowed with blue radiance; within it, petals rained in dazzling hues, golden clouds scattered, winds, waters, and flames shifted endlessly.

“So you admit there’s already an authorized operation here!” the dwarf pointed accusingly at Solari, believing he’d caught the mercenary leader in a contradiction.
