Even the Imperial Uncle knew—he actually knew. He was aware that Su Xian’s apparent decadence and frequenting of brothels were merely a façade, a cover for secretly building his own power base. Su Xian had thought his scheme flawless, yet unexpectedly, the Imperial Uncle saw through it all without making a move.

At this moment, Su Xian finally dropped his disguise, staring unblinkingly at Gong Qingchen. Gong Qingchen knew all too well how frightening it was when the fox lost its temper.

Earlier, Su Jin and another servant had also heard Mo Hongzhang’s heartfelt words, moved to tears without control. The three of them immediately clasped their heads and wept bitterly.

However, neither Zhuang Yingqiu nor Song Changlin dared to confront her doubts directly; in the end, they merely replied with indifference, “It’s not important.”

This tactic left the blood ape behind Wei Fuxun unchanged, and it did not add any blood flame to its recent punch.

Jiang Lu’s heart was filled with a complicated array of emotions, unable to calm down for a long while, as if suddenly lost in thought.

Zhang Xia and her cousin, both excited, continued to praise Brother Zhao, a burly man who had trained in boxing for years.

Zhao Tianmin, who had been confident and triumphant moments ago, now wore a dark, sullen expression. Without a word, he walked over to help Zhao Chenyue up, checked his injuries, and then made a phone call.

Seeing this, Chu Pengfei naturally scowled, his displeasure evident as his face darkened considerably.

Jiang Xiyu thought that continuing to search this way might attract Yang Wei’s attention. Since she had come, she wanted to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, especially as she now had a favor to ask of Yang Wei.

This was also Chu Shen’s dying wish, etched into the floor of the prison before his death. Otherwise, the Wang family would not have had the right to be buried alongside Chu Shen.

By then, they would devour their enemies down to the bones, leaving them to die without even understanding how.

After stealing time repeatedly, they naturally developed a set of rules suited to their trade. Thus, they feared not imprisonment but betrayal and disunity above all else.

At the sidelines, Li Wei and Bo De alternated between deep silence and roaring fury, constantly outwitting each other.

Moreover, the Spurs had an astonishingly talented rookie from ’97, fourth pick Antonio Daniels. Unfortunately, with so many talents on the team, the second-year player saw little court time. The team’s official twelfth man, the “waterboy guardian,” was Gerald King, a ’95 undrafted player who only took the floor during garbage time to cover the interior.

Ji Ran planned to stay put in the dorm today, resting well to fully recover. She refused to exhaust her body prematurely.

“It’s no problem. Inside, the smell makes my head dizzy, so it’s much better out here,” Wang Jue said with a smile.

For such an important game, they naturally called for an experienced commentator—so Bavita came to the sidelines.

Take the Shannan Water Fortress as an example: half of it rests on land, half on water. The land portion has a foundation of bluestone, with the main buildings constructed of brick and wood, surrounded on all sides by sturdy fortress walls. The side facing the water features several tall archer towers. Inside the fortress lies a naval barracks and a training ground for naval soldiers.

Suozhi’s leader, Wu Yu, was already waiting inside the Tai’an Palace. Recently, Wu Yu’s visits had become increasingly frequent. Beneath the seemingly stable peace of Taiping and Xixuan lay turbulent waves, and what awaited was nothing but the storm on the surface.

After five thunderous clashes, the five swords collided, exploding into five enormous fireworks. After the strike, Jie Lei and the Fatty simultaneously withdrew their hands, and the mountain peak briefly returned to calm.

Second Chenxue’s body instantly grew taller, reaching about one meter seventy, stopping only then. Her beautiful hair also lengthened, flowing down to her waist in a cascade of flowing locks.

“What?” The dark green stake never expected his ultimate technique to be so easily blocked. Especially since the protective net dissipated the pile driver’s force through vibration, leaving the lazy gray one behind the net completely unharmed.

I knew a powerful ghost immortal was supporting me, so I followed my master without hesitation, as bolts of lightning ruthlessly descended.

The Rockets’ mobile base had yet to return, but A Zhi had already ambushed the original site, waiting patiently. When the base returned, he slipped inside unnoticed while the patrol was distracted.

Wang Xuan’s words were calm, but to Hong Lang they were shocking. To strike out and attempt to annihilate the Giant City’s Broken Sword King’s men required great courage—unless one had the strength to face the Broken Sword King’s wrath. Especially after hearing his final words, Hong Lang was overjoyed and lavished Wang Xuan with praise.

Fortunately, whether due to insufficient power supply or some other reason, the spider web launcher did not spray any more of the white sticky fluid, allowing him enough free time to release his skills.

Once these people entered, the freezer’s temperature was immediately lowered to an ultra-low minus one hundred degrees, instantly freezing everyone inside.

After a long while, Hei Xueji sighed, her voice tinged with sorrow. Yet Ryan showed no reaction. This greatly annoyed Hei Xueji, who was waiting for Ryan’s comforting words.

“Cheater?” Ryan asked with curiosity as he stepped through the door, then saw a man in a black leather coat, feigning arrogance, walking toward the door leading to the second floor.
