Chapter 28: Gu Huaizheng Hands Over the Bankbook

Lu Jianwei took the bankbook, not uttering a word of refusal. Of course, she would never accept her younger brother’s money. The original division was already unfair—she received far more than he did, and besides, all of the Lu family’s assets were in her hands now. To take more would be utterly unconscionable. She also possessed a spatial dimension, and within it, the assets she had accumulated in her previous life had followed her here, making her even less in need of money.

“Aunt, keeping the bankbook on Xiaozhu isn’t safe. If someone finds out, it could easily…”

This was reminiscent of countless villains spitting threats after defeat, yet from the mouth of Golden Flash, it carried a real sense of menace. No one believed he was boasting. After witnessing those treasures sparkling like stars across the sky, no one would ever again underestimate this somewhat arrogant Servant.

He could certainly understand why Zhou Huan acted as he did. The higher one’s position, the more intensely one is scrutinized. Many things may be legal, but not reasonable; if someone in power does them, the loss is even greater.

“How is Al doing?” Edward ignored Feng Xue’s nagging, his gaze fixed intently on the battered armor tossed carelessly in the corner, as though it were rubbish.

At that moment, a voice sounded in Ye Tianxiao’s ear, and he saw a figure cloaked entirely in black robes walking toward him.

“I know, I know, right now action matters most, doesn’t it?” Yu Cheng, hearing Feng Xue about to start lecturing again, quickly laughed it off. Feng Xue wasn’t a mother hen, so she didn’t press further—she simply put on her headphones and pretended to contact the Black and White Sisters and Lelouch.

Upon entering the inner space of the Azure Lotus, Mo Yu was struck by an overwhelming heat. Glancing down, he saw magma beneath his feet, stretching endlessly in all directions, with a sea of fire overhead.

“I told you to rest properly. What are you doing here?” Jiang Ranli frowned.

The emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden, inviting officials of third rank and above, along with their families, to enjoy flowers, wine, and delicacies.

The man wore a refined white brocade robe, his slender, alluring eyes captivating, every feature exquisitely carved. The pristine garments draped over him added an extra touch of charm.

Suddenly, the chair in front of Mu Ge vanished inexplicably, only to reappear in its original place moments later.

Xiao Hua, accompanied by Huang Tong and Feng Wu, flew toward the Great Wilderness Mountain. Waves of primordial energy surged toward them, making their bodies crackle audibly.

For others, Chen Guanxi would have drawn his knife and stabbed the person who gave Guo Fatty drugs. But Guo Fatty’s situation was different—he had his reasons, and it wasn’t enough to warrant such punishment.

Ordinary hybrid dragon beasts would be proud, but Xiao Hua glanced at Xiang without saying a word or betraying any emotion, which only made Xiang feel Xiao Hua’s extraordinary nature.

If fans outside could see Shen Tu Mingliang now, they would never again associate him with warmth or sunshine; the two were worlds apart.

Xiao Yi walked over to the chair with a cheerful smile and sat down. The boy beside him, wearing glasses, looked at Xiao Yi with excitement, unsure what to say, simply staring in awe.

“If I call you an idiot, you get offended. If I ran off myself, wouldn’t I get exposed again?” Parker raised his claw, teasing Naruto.

These days, internet cafes, gaming lounges, and e-sports venues were everywhere. Most internet cafes on the street had few customers; unlike Darun Net Café, where people queued up to get online—a rarity.

Zhou Jun stammered, ever since learning who this person was. Remembering the crazy things he’d done, Zhou Jun shivered. If this lunatic targeted him, he wouldn’t even know how he died. If he could, he’d leave this place in a heartbeat.

The delivery robot had an automatic avoidance system; when it detected obstacles, it would either wait or recalculate its route.
