Volume 1, Chapter 153: Zhou Jingdu Feels Aggrieved

The conversation veered in a bizarre direction.
Zhou Jingdu refused to be led astray by Jin Yao. He let out a cold laugh, the corners of his lips curving slightly. "Aren't you leaving yet, President Jin?"
"Why on earth should I leave?" Jin Yao asked in an aggressive tone.
He had finally figured it out.
The one who should be leaving was Zhou Jingdu.

By this stage in the battle, the rogue cultivators were finished, and a widespread rout had already taken form. That Hong Ni could maintain such composure greatly surprised Yu Yu, while also baffling him. It was as if Hong Ni had a contingency plan, appearing not to have staked all her winning cards solely on this war.

Many of these five plans lacked detailed explanations; the conscription plan was being executed by Luo Jianjun and had little to do with them. What they were handling was the resource allocation plan, and they were primarily responsible for the distribution of resources.

His subordinates were no fools. Sensing instantly that their boss was in danger, they didn't dare hesitate and hurriedly retreated.

This matter had already blown up. At best, it would plummet their sales and leave their products ignored; at worst, influential figures would have them pulled from the shelves, and Jiang Feng might even be utterly ruined.

The passionate melody was heart-stirring, igniting everyone's emotions to the absolute peak. The sun-drenched lyrics allowed everyone to feel hope, as well as the touching emotion of never yielding and persevering brilliantly in pursuit of one's dreams.

"Listen, buddy, there's nothing fun here. In a moment, I'll draw those two soldiers away for you, so make sure you escape quickly," Wu Feng suddenly leaned in, pleading almost tearfully.

Dulabo walked up to Li Junhao and said, "Comrade Commander, my name is Dulabo, not some Du-whatever-bo. Your uniform is indeed in my custody, but I only just got it and was preparing to bring it to you when you spoke up. Besides, who would dare misappropriate your belongings unless they felt their head was getting too heavy for their shoulders?"

"Icarus, stop messing around, I really can't eat another bite." Liu Xing was sleep-talking with drool at the corner of his mouth, though goodness knows what kind of dream he was having. It didn't look like an R-rated one, however.

The camera overlooked the entire venue from above the Music Center. The stage, full of modern and sci-fi aesthetics, left the audience dazzled and mesmerized.

The muscular zombie belonged to the strength-based type, meaning its defense naturally couldn't compare to the brute. Even without using the Sharpness Technique, Lu Tian could still directly dismember it.

If Qi Heng was truly entangled in this, caught between protecting his sworn brother and friend on one hand and upholding justice on the other, what choice would Nalan Yunqian ultimately make? And how would he face Qi Heng's own sister, Qi Ruxiao?

Chu Qiao was in the process of untying the foam boards strapped to her legs. Her feet had soaked in seawater for too long, turning waterlogged and soft, looking just like rehydrated dried goods.

From then on, the terror of death and the sensation of choking on water extinguished Chunlan's thoughts of suicide. The philosophy that "a miserable life is better than a good death" numbed her nerves.

Yao Shiqi paid no attention to any of that. Waving her hand as she ran toward the school, she shouted back, "No need, I'm full!" and vanished from sight.

Everyone was awestruck by the scenery of the Golden City—this legendary, most prosperous metropolis standing proudly amidst the vast ocean.

"You can just take a stake in the chamber of commerce. By then, even pirates wouldn't dare lay a finger on my business, right?" A fox-like glint danced in Chris's eyes as she smiled, looking crafty and clever.

Xuangu relayed Xuannne's intentions to Mofan Chen. After engaging in a symbolic bout of bargaining, Mofan Chen spoke with a helpless expression.

Zhuge Shuangquan said with justified self-assurance, though heaven knows what memories had just crossed his mind, twisting his rugged face into a smile that was as wretched as it could possibly get.

With that, Chu Qiao suddenly turned and walked away. The drone followed her movements, only to show that she wasn't up to anything serious, calmly pacing in circles around a tree.
