Volume 1, Chapter 48: The Moment the Prince of Chu Breaches the Gates, This Servant Shall Surely Attain Immense Wealth and Prosperity

With two loud thuds, all the officials watched as Su Tian and Su Yi stepped out from the ranks of court ministers, then fell to their knees before Su Boheng with faces streaming with tears.

Following that, everyone and everything within a radius of several hundred square kilometers was utterly annihilated, reduced to fine dust.

The turn of events exceeded everyone's expectations, with twists coming one after another. Now that even the Imperial Guard protecting the imperial city was implicated, this was no longer a matter that the Dali Temple could handle.

Inside, there were no mountains, seas, or rivers—only an old house. Such old houses were common in period dramas, but this was the first time Ning Fuchen had ever seen one that radiated such a profound sense of vicissitudes.

"Boss, you've come just at the right time. Someone is trying to eat a free meal and skip out on the bill," Xiang'er said, pulling Fatty Zhang aside.

Night was the environment special forces soldiers were most familiar with, acting like a loyal companion to create the optimal conditions for them.

The two opposing forces crashed into each other instantly, engaging in a life-or-death melee with cold steel across the plains outside Holy Water Town.

Old Zhang's tone was unmistakably hurried; typically calm and collected, he seemed unable to conceal a trace of jittery agitation at this moment.

First, the soldiers remained sheltered behind fortifications, with every air intake protected by multiple layers of filtration. Second, every single soldier was equipped with a rudimentary gas mask.

The fierce combat was already taking place in the very center of the military camp. Laser rifles possessed immense penetrating and destructive power; firing now risked accidentally injuring countless friendly soldiers and evolvers fighting ahead.

The two Greenland cod were still relentlessly battering the fishing boat. However, due to their continuous struggling, the previously deployed fishing nets were wrapping around them tighter and tighter, even though they should have been gradually losing the strength to fight back.

Failing to report a crime was a grave offense, and who would dare to kill the Heaven-Blessed Imperial Physique? No matter how secretly such a deed was done, given the abilities of a Heaven-Blessed Monarch, they would undoubtedly be able to investigate and find out afterward.

"Yangyang, don't be sad. Mom... Mommy has something she needs to handle, and it's not convenient to take you along." Nan Xia tried to reason with Han Yang, hoping the child would understand what she was saying.

For some reason, she was deeply worried, yet that worry was overshadowed by a profound sense of trust. She believed that Lu Chenhao would be able to handle everything properly.

However, they could have simply been straight with Tomato Girl, explaining that her identity was special and detailing the ins and outs of the situation. Given how sincere and wholehearted a child Tomato Girl was, she might not have been unwilling to accept it.

The man with the buzzcut nimbly vaulted over the wall. Ye Jiujiu walked over to the corner, feeling rather troubled—such a tall wall, would she be able to climb over it?

In daily life, Xiao Yinzheng was an exceptionally gentle person, and she had never seen him lose his composure like this. Exactly what kind of catastrophe could have driven him to this extent?

"...She was drugged last night. By the way, how is the investigation into that matter going?" Mentioning this, Gong Yetuo's face turned ashen, and his fists clenched tightly. He would never easily let go of the person who had harmed Su Yiran.

"The Sea Serpent Mercenary Alliance is nothing! I've destroyed the headquarters of the Dark Mercenary Alliance and the Esper Alliance as well!" Xu Yuntian said with utter disdain.

On the other side of the barrier, Chu Tian could feel the immense power generated by every single impact.

Just by looking at the large expanse of exposed skin, An Mu couldn't help tightening her down jacket around herself.

She didn't care about idle gossip because she felt she had nothing left to live for, but her two good friends still had their lives ahead of them. It wouldn't be fair to let them bear the infamy alongside her.

With no leads on the eight chief managers, nor any news of the Divine Mechanism King, Du Feng was like a headless fly, having no idea where to begin his investigation. He wondered if electing a new set of eight chief managers might provoke the old ones into making a move, thereby revealing some clues.
