Volume 1, Chapter 60: Grand Finale

A secret fundraiser does not mean gathering everyone in a corner to donate money covertly; rather, it means clearing away all idlers and busybodies, especially reporters and bodyguards. Even someone of Roger's extremely high status was only permitted to bring two bodyguards.

"Now she is not. It was your young master who voluntarily gave her up. Why is that?" Hu Tianming stared straight at Su Tie, as if trying to pierce right through him.

My hands gradually tightened. Having just absorbed the ability of the ghost bone inside the "Devourer" sword, my strength was now immense. Xu Tianxing struggled, attempting to stab me with the long sword in his hand, but I easily deflected it with my other hand.

"Well, since you can't guess, I'll just take you to see these things directly," Chen Feng said with a mysterious smile.

I don't deny the exceptional management teams of these Chinese internet companies, but their starting point was a step behind foreign ones. Without that massive grassroots support, and with their pace of development slowed by another three to five years, what would there even be to discuss?

Brother Chen's words made me feel somewhat embarrassed, because I had always been aware of this flaw of mine, yet I could never seem to change it.

"Forget it, since you're unwilling to say, I won't press you." A trace of irritation flickered in Luo En's heart, and he turned around and left.

Hua Lebo coughed a few times, his body sliding down slightly. You Luo wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him back up.

"If you were to direct, what genre of films would you plan to make?" Shen Songsheng asked, equally curious.

Yin Dayin jumped down into the pit, which had now become a cavern, and relying on the surrounding walls, smoothly descended to You Luo's side. At the bottom of the cave, Lu Min, Duzhuo, and Ren Da were nowhere to be found, and even the Linger Sword was gone. Finding this strange, Yin Dayin nevertheless followed behind You Luo, crawling into a half-person-high tunnel on the side of the cavern floor.

Jones, who was preparing to lie down on the ground, sprang up in a flash of energy and said, "Hailan, are you serious?" Her eyes shone brightly like glittering stars.

After a long while, the void suddenly collapsed, and Ghost Brake stumbled out from within, clamping the unconscious and blood-soaked Zichi under his arm. Both of them looked rather disheveled at the moment.

For a businessman currently discussing deals worth hundreds of millions, or even billions, how could he possibly be disturbed by minor accidents and subsequently drawn into irrelevant conversations?

Before Wang Luodan could finish speaking, Li Longji's expression instantly darkened. Upon hearing this, Li Mao immediately stood up, casting a puzzled look at the surrounding ministers, and then, with an innocent expression, confronted Wang Luodan face-to-face.

Upon checking her character attributes, she found that many archer skill points remained unallocated, and the game had also dumped a messy mess in her lap. Looking at her watch, it was already ten-past eleven in the evening. She finally managed to grind her level up to 20, and hurriedly washed up to go to sleep, as she still had school tomorrow. She still held a deep nostalgia for her high school days.

Huang Leyan wore a look of intense displeasure, but knowing that Chen-ge favored gentle, obedient young ladies of noble birth, she could only suppress her discontent and fall silent.

"Mozhou has been treating me so well lately; it really makes me feel unaccustomed to it. But this feeling is truly wonderful." Jiang Zhi smiled, a rather foolish, infatuated grin.

What Liu Bowen had just spoken of was indeed a heavy stone that had long weighed upon Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Once this major matter was truly settled, Li Mao seemed to have relaxed a great deal. Thus, as the carriage arrived at the villa, he stepped down alongside Xiao Tiancheng. However, the two of them had not walked even a few meters when a stealthily figure holding a lantern stepped out from the main gate of the villa, attempting to block their path.

Meanwhile, Su Hao, following the list provided by the apprentice, purchased all the necessary chemical products, including high-concentration hydriodic acid, crude mercury fulminate, aluminum powder, iron(III) oxide powder, and various polyethylene plastic containers, plastic bags, plastic tubing, adhesive tape, latex gloves, as well as a variety of second-hand, simple electronic components.

After exchanging the basic pleasantries, I fully recounted Wu Guang's plan. I omitted the part about our visit to Wang Leijun's place, mentioning only the bugs at home and the few ghosts residing here.

This scene astonished both Giant Curry and the former tenant, while the wrestling fans in attendance dropped their jaws wide open, recalling how Kane had previously appeared wanting to disrupt the show.

Upon seeing that hand, Ding Hao felt a tightening in his chest. That hand was covered in white hair. In a place so dense with yin energy, for something to have white hair meant there were only two possibilities: either a white-haired jiangshi—meaning a white-eyed zombie—or a white-haired yaksha.

Mu Ling's vision was hazy, but a voice clearly reached his ears, and then he felt his mother's warm, jade-like hand suddenly leave his cheek. That laughter was something Mu Ling would never forget—it belonged to Ji Wudao of the Flame Palace. It was this very person who had taken his mother away.

They had traveled in a hurry, and there was no stove burning inside the carriage, yet it was much warmer than outside. Mu Ling climbed into the carriage, and Xiangrui and Ankang hurriedly shifted their positions, clearing a space for him.

Seizing the opportunity, Zheng Ke, who was already thoroughly frightened, instantly hurried over to the side with Xue'er's support and stood behind the newcomer.

Tang Yufei gazed in the direction of Yun Zhe. He knew this path would likely be fraught with danger, but he also believed they would make it through. What troubled him the most right now was that Tang Yuqi had moved into the imperial palace. Although he hadn't usurped Tang Yutian's former quarters, he faintly seemed to have taken over his position.

Consequently, Zhu Yin's words carried such profound venom. Uttering them was equivalent to declaring to Mu Ling that from then on, Mu Ling would face the endless pursuit of the Skysong Sect. While nothing could be done to Mu Ling during the Spirit Lake Tournament, within this vast Spirit Lake Realm, there would henceforth be no place for Mu Ling to hide.
