Chapter 62: There Must Be Something Going On Between Them

"The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, issued a statement strongly condemning the terrorist attack that occurred yesterday in the parking lot of the Serena Hotel in Quetta, Pakistan, and expressed his condolences to the families of the victims..."

"According to our sources, the attack has resulted in five deaths and twelve injuries. The Pakistani Taliban (TTP) claimed responsibility for the incident earlier this morning..."

"Heh."

After glancing at the news for a moment, Zhang Liang instantly lost interest. It was all just the usual platitudes—whether they said it or not, it made little difference.

Even a clay figurine has a bit of temper, let alone An Qingshu, who came from a military family. Being publicly berated and repeatedly refused by Li Mao in front of the entire army had long since enraged him.

The gray-clad middle-aged man and his companions felt their pupils contract and their hair stand on end. Startled, they turned to look.

After a few more casual words, Johnson said they needed to change direction to gather medicinal herbs elsewhere and asked if the two wanted to join them.

He insisted that Murong Aotian participate in the New Talents Tournament of the Ten Great Sects. After all, although Ouyang Yunhai was the top disciple of the Azure Garment Sect, he was not the strongest in combat. The true powerhouse was the Sect Master's disciple, An Wuxie.

Chu Tianxing curled his lips. "You are to manage the Marshal’s Residence for me. There are many trivial matters that I have no time to oversee."

Judging by the contents of that girl's letter, Changge should not yet be in mortal danger. Moreover, she was seeking us out to discuss matters. Now that this girl is in charge of the Marshal’s Residence of the Tianlong Empire, I have come to understand her somewhat.

No one on Earth can forcibly break this seal, not even at their level. Thus, this place is the safest, and with the seal so strong, not even blood ties could reveal the location of the dragon species.

It should be explained here that the Singularities are bolstered by one Guardian and seven Defensive Sequences. The Guardian cannot be replaced and must be summoned during the establishment of the Singularity. Therefore, within a Singularity, the Guardian's strength will increase by one star based on the sequence bonuses, and the city will gain additional effects.

Hearing that Ling Yue was willing to go down, Captain Xu Jian of the Sixth Squad smiled broadly. “Captain, I’ll have Brother Zhong and the others make preparations. It would be disgraceful to go down unprepared.” He cupped his hands and hurriedly dashed off.

After Shiina Mashiro was sent to her cousin’s place, Toyosato Ear Goddess and Saint Hakuren arrived. According to them, “We’re not very familiar with this child yet. We’ll consider whether to talk about this matter later.”

"Fellow Daoist, you’re right. Just pick a few. Whichever one you like, just say the word and I’ll gladly hand them over," Guanyue Daoist, sly as ever, refused to give him any chance to decline and immediately took over the conversation, feigning ignorance with enthusiastic salesmanship.

"Ms. Yan, what’s wrong?" I quickly looked over, confused by her sudden outburst.

As soon as the townsfolk heard there might be corpses beneath their feet, they immediately rushed ashore in fright. Though fear lingered, their curiosity kept them gathered on the riverbank, eager to see what would happen next.

The man with the carapace, who had been unconscious, could not help but emit intermittent cries of pain, but soon all the eyes on his body burst simultaneously.

Old Xu was truly out of options. With his abilities, and being overwhelmed by work, he could only muddle through when dealing with people like this.

This was the most important part mentioned in the murals and also explained why the Uzumaki clan’s mural “history” far surpassed that of the Divine Tree.

In the crew, Hu Yan was the biggest star. Even the renowned director didn’t dare to confront him directly. In this industry nowadays, if you want to survive, you must keep your eyes sharp and know exactly who you can and cannot cross—this is the most crucial skill.

Though not fully understanding, Kurapika was certain that he had made a contract at the cost of his life. Only such a restriction could grant him this kind of power.

Xiang Wuque was a heroic man in his early thirties, with handsome features and an imposing presence. Even though his eyes hadn’t been trained in the Gaze Technique like Xiang Yang, they still held an immense power that few dared to meet directly.
