Chapter 56: Impressive

“This is bad! The tranquilizer gun didn’t work! Worse yet, it’s completely enraged those two tigers!”
“It’s over—those tigers’ wild instincts have been fully unleashed!”
“How terrifying! The tigers are on a rampage now! This is the end!”
“That young man is just…”
Such spatial transitions, with their peerless cutting force, could easily slice even the strongest warriors—those famed for their physical prowess—clean in two.
These matters were no secret in W City; with just a few inquiries, Xiao Chen understood exactly what kind of power he was up against. He didn’t act rashly, but instead found a hotel where he could lay low for the time being.
When I returned to the hospital room, my teacher was glaring at me with a look of disapproval. I had no idea what I had done to offend her this time.
Lin Shuangxi arrived not long after. Entering the hall, he glanced around and muttered, “Passable,” before dropping onto the sofa.
“Lin Jiajia, you keep insisting you’re innocent—that you’ve never met Fu Shijin or had any dealings with him. So how do you explain these photos, each more intimate than the last?” Zhi Yaowei questioned coldly.
He searched for ages and couldn’t find a bottle of wine. In the end, he ate a few bites of cold dinner and then, like a soulless corpse, slumped onto the sofa and stared blankly into space. His head ached terribly. He thought to himself, alcohol really is no good.
Can we refuse to go? Is there any other way now? We had no choice but to climb into that antique car with Chunyangzi. All seven of us, after hearing what Chunyangzi had to say, reluctantly clambered into the vehicle and squeezed together in the cargo bed.
She knew Ye Lishang had no taste for the mundane world, so she wasn’t worried that he’d accept the emperor’s invitation to serve at court. What frightened her was that he might offend the emperor by refusing and suffer dire consequences.
After piecing together all the information Liu Zheng had gathered, it became clear that not only had he not grown angry or resentful over his former superior’s secret demotion, but he had actually set about the work of building up Luzhou in earnest.
“What do you mean, ‘dictatorship’? You impudent girl, always so glib! I’ve been married to your grandfather for so many years—would I ever harm him?” Madam Ma’s face was ashen with fury.
Liu Yu had once imagined Gu Liangyue to be a strict, unyielding person, all thunder and no sunshine. But after seeing how Qing Ruiting was utterly devoted to her, and how gentle and radiant Gu Liangyue could be, Liu Yu realized her earlier assumptions had been completely wrong.
Is he really trying to help me? Fu Can frowned. He and Chen Ai had never even met—why was Chen Ai’s attitude toward him so ambiguous?
If Fu Can were to experience this again, he would surely cry out in shock. This move was far more powerful than the one used at the Ten Thousand Poisons Manor all those years ago.
The sudden attack by the Japanese agents didn’t fluster Huang Changsheng; instead, he became even calmer. He knew the weaknesses of the entire garrison like the back of his hand, so the moment the gunfire erupted, he immediately envisioned every possible scenario.
At the mention of “horses,” a dozen breaths later, several burly men in black rode up. With thick brows, piercing eyes, and imposing builds, they looked every bit the battle-hardened warriors they were.
As Demos shouted his warning, he shoved her with all his strength, sending her flying out of harm’s way. The lethal strike, missing its target, crashed into a concrete wall behind them, gouging out a smoking furrow in the solid barrier.
Serious for no more than three seconds, Watson then turned, flashed a wide grin, and sauntered forward, the full force of his ninth-level Peak Fusion Realm aura hidden, yet palpable.
Yun Xue made a deep bow as well. “Thank you, Senior Brother.” She also wanted to see how her former junior disciple was faring—she remembered the girl’s deathly pale face back then, and wondered how she was now.
This time, Laughing Tiger didn’t get angry. He seemed to have great confidence in the people he brought with him. He was sure that today, Hua Qingyi and the others would be tormented to death.
