Chapter 62: No Master

After the two prominent figures departed, the members of the Su family once again expressed their boundless gratitude to Xu Yang. This time, they had made a direct profit of tens of millions, and moreover, had established a connection with the most influential person in Jiangcheng. All of these gains stemmed from Xu Yang—the same Xu Yang whom they had just been chasing around and fighting.

“No need for such courtesy, so long as you don’t doubt me…”

Guan Zhaojian pressed his thin lips together, his gaze lingering on her with a deep intensity; not a trace of emotion could be seen on his handsome face. So what if it had happened? Was she supposed to give up resisting, to let herself be bitten a third time just because she’d already been bitten twice by the same dog?

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Shao.” Even with his disheveled appearance, Guan Ziheng’s movements remained as graceful as ever.

As he leapt out of bed, Yang Ye felt a rush of hot blood and strength surge through his body. With a swift motion, he struck the bedside cabinet, shattering it to pieces.

“Fuck! Fuck!” the blond captain cursed furiously. Lu Chi was simply too fierce—he had charged into their ranks alone, his two steel blades whirling in a seamless defense. Not only people, even bullets could scarcely penetrate the barrage.

“I pay my respects…” Jin Yang was about to bow, but Yu Cong stopped him. “No need for formalities. Come with me.” Following Yu Cong upstairs to the elegant chamber on the third floor, Jin Yang immediately knelt in homage.

“Jin Yang, do you still remember the agreement between us?” Yu Cong sat down, dispensing with pleasantries and coming straight to the point.

Thirty seconds later, led by Lu Chi, over a dozen pioneer warriors followed him into the pitch-black basement.

His psychological resilience was strong; he hadn’t been overly shaken by the recent events.

Colson’s half-whispered voice murmured uncertainly, not knowing if the person on the other end of the earpiece had heard.

When she mentioned pigs, Qing Chen, who had been lying on the ground, immediately became indignant. With a couple of grunts, he stood up.

It’s no exaggeration to say that if Qin Xuan hadn’t come, she probably wouldn’t have made much money even if she streamed all day long.

Li Zhe looked at Harvey with unwavering determination. Theron nodded gently, admiration shining in his eyes.

As for the freshmen, to prevent these newcomers to the magical world from harboring too many fanciful notions and to help them lay a solid foundation, information about such activities was still under wraps.

Shao You and the rest had no mood to appreciate the scenery; all they could hear was the thunder of hooves coming from the west.

“Disaster?” Wu Huayong frowned. It was winter, the sea was calm, there was no chance of a tsunami or hurricane—so why did Zhao Xiang say there was a problem?

The main reason was that everyone was delighted to see Director Zhou finally ousted. Normally, he lorded it over everyone in the company, barking orders left and right; they had long been fed up with him but dared not speak out. Now that the opportunity had come, no one would give Zhou a pleasant face.

It was Liu Bang who utilized them, placing them in the most suitable positions and employing the most appropriate incentives. Only then did they achieve success and glory.

Inside the towering palace, everywhere was lavishly adorned—glittering chandeliers and felt-laid carpets. All of it filled Dong Shuni with wonder.

Lin Zhaolun, still young, was already the head of a department bureau, with a promising future ahead. If he were to fall here because of some mishap, it would be a truly senseless death.

Xu Qian’s strength, handsomeness, erudition, dedication, and coolness had, without her noticing, seeped into her mind and carved themselves into her soul.

Luo Han’s lips curled slightly into an inscrutable smile as he turned his gaze back to the window, ignoring me completely.

Could it be… that he had unknowingly offended the other party, prompting them to want him dead?

These words left Zhao Ying even more pale with shock. She had been most affected by the earlier commotion and now didn’t even dare to glance at the window beside her.
