“There are six people in total, five men and one woman. The one who looks a bit like Matt Damon should be the captain,” Silver Spirit sent the individuals she and the computer had marked to Zhang Liang and the others.

“There’s no concrete identity information on them in the database for now, but according to intelligence shared by the European division, these people are absolutely the target’s close confidants. In the two years since his sudden rise, they've accompanied him on numerous missions.”

Previously, Tobert’s rank was too low to attract the attention of the European branch, which explains the lack of information...

They haven’t encountered a wild Amur tiger in a long time. This discovery could allow them to apply for funding for further research.

“Chief, you’ve come to my palace again—what brings you here this time?” By now, Chu Yuan’s strength had reached unfathomable depths, and his shattered dantian was gradually healing.

At that moment, Fang Tian landed behind them like a meteor of fire, the ground shaking with a deafening crash.

“Mr. Superman… I witnessed what you did in New York… This… this can no longer be called power… It’s nothing short of a miracle…” Doctor Strange gazed at Fang Tian, his expression a complex mixture of awe and reverence.

As Ye Chen finished speaking, the soul flames in Lucifer’s two skeletal eye sockets trembled violently.

“Master, before, I could only travel to the Western Hell, but now that I’ve abandoned my wings and flesh, I can enter the Netherworld. However, my current strength is still insufficient to reach it,” Lucifer quickly replied.

The only thing that troubled Fang Tian was his uncertainty about the flow of time between the Marvel Universe 250 and the Monster Universe. He didn’t know how much time would pass in the Monster Universe before he returned.

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed plainly, with a trimmed mustache, and simple clothes.

Had he become too powerful after being transformed by the Aether Particle? So powerful that he could no longer control his own strength?

“Director Wang, your grandson seems to have been poisoned. Why not try combining dragon birth herb with bitter vine buds?” Elder Xu at his side suggested.

The bullying only worsened after the deaths of Lu Mu and Ye Father in the car accident. The siblings lived with Grandma Ye, who doted on Ye Miao while utterly ignoring Lu Shiyu.

Chen Yun wasn’t concerned at all. The environment unsettled him, but once he got over the initial shock, he grew curious. He wanted to see what was in this place, to understand some of the strange and wondrous things of the mortal world.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Seeing her emerge looking so distraught, Ye Jingheng couldn’t help but ask in concern.

He had wondered if “big sister” would reappear in his life, perhaps under a new identity.

She was still shrouded in exhaustion from staying up all night, her head heavy and muddled. Yet Adam’s theoretical success weighed on her mind. Forcing herself to muster some energy, she opened her eyes and threw back the comforter.

As expected, Shi Ye set out on the third day. The New Alliance made no official statement, and the media only dared to report his departure after the fact. No one could do anything about it.

There wasn’t much left that he needed to know. Any further questioning would likely yield nothing, and asking too much would arouse suspicion. After all, he had already probed the town with his spiritual sense—nothing unusual had happened. It seemed, as the demon had said, that the time had not yet come.

“Is this evidence to bring you down, or someone else?” Boskov remained unmoved, cutting straight to the point.

The fundamental conflict was the power struggle between Cao Cao and Cao Sheng—unavoidable. The fact that they could still argue under one roof showed restraint on both sides. Otherwise, if Cao Anmin had been executed in Xu County, the two factions would have split, and civil war would have ensued before they even fought Yuan Shao.
