Chapter 53: Ye Feng Loses His Temper

Ye Feng glanced at the time and thought Secretary Tao should be arriving soon, so he kept his eyes fixed on the entrance.

Secretary Tao entered, sneaking a glance in Ye Feng’s direction. After exchanging a look with him, she finally called out to Su Manman.

Everyone turned their heads in surprise—it was Secretary Tao from Hengda Group. A flicker of astonishment crossed their faces.

A look of doubt flashed across Lin Haiyang’s face. Hengda Group...

Ye Ming replied, “Alright,” hung up the phone, and returned to the conference room. Upon entering, he saw that Zhong Yin had already stopped speaking, sitting there with a face full of anger. The others wore embarrassed expressions as well—clearly, Zhong Yin was quite upset that Ye Ming had left to take a call during his speech, so he simply refused to continue.

At that moment, Ke Zhenkai fired a shell from the rocket launcher in his hands. The shell shot out of the launcher, tracing an erratic arc through the air before blasting toward the helicopter.

There was a considerable difference between a local official and a lord. When Li Xin saw the last clause—if Liu Kehong did not return after fifty years, the entire territory would transfer to Li Xin—such a huge temptation made it impossible for him to remain indifferent.

“Bro, do you know where this place is?” The boy, not shy in the least, walked up and patted Ling Yong on the shoulder. Clearly, he thought these people had been brought here just as confused as himself. Judging by his tone, he was a naturally outgoing type.

Suddenly, a long, sharp cry of a street vendor pierced the air outside the window, yanking Ye Ming out of his fevered springtime dreams and back into the real world.

Bang! Ling Yong crashed to the ground once more. Back at the previous spot, the zombie lord’s face was twisted in fury, its cold, emotionless eyes sweeping over the crowd. It was clear the creature was truly enraged.

Zhou Ming’s words seemed to hit the trio where it hurt most. The three exchanged embarrassed glances, unable to answer for quite some time.

Gardener Bear animatedly recounted his battles to defend his territory, waving his paws as he described how he struck down his foes and drove them from his land. In Gardener Bear’s stories, all his neighbors became synonymous with hooligans, villains, and scoundrels.

Just as he was about to step into the backyard, Chu Aotian paused, raised his chin slightly to signal Zhou Ming to go ahead, and then turned away.

“How did you acquire this satellite city? If we have a mobile puppy, why don’t we just buy a ship and leave this planet?” Xing Yang finally voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind.

Then came a second blade of light, crashing down with even greater force. The entire cave shook with the power of the blow, sending showers of dirt and stone tumbling from above.

Huang Fuya realized that, at this very moment, her heart was beating faster—purely, simply, because of Lu Xiyu.

Each of them held a battle spirit longsword, and from their aura, they had already reached the rank of Battle Emperor.

The news of Jun Yuexi’s kidnapping hadn’t spread at school. Not even the homeroom teacher knew that a student in her class had suffered such an ordeal. The Jun family simply informed the school that Jun Yuexi had caught a cold and would be resting at home for a couple of days.

Meanwhile, Ning Qing had already wrapped an arm around Xue Lengyu’s waist, pulling her protectively into his embrace, while his other hand struck toward the man in black.

Even if Xue Lengyu tried to convince herself the poison wouldn’t be fatal, she had witnessed Helian Wanjing die in agony before her eyes. The renowned healer, usually so confident, now responded in vague, uncertain terms. With that, no matter how hard she tried, Xue Lengyu simply couldn’t feel at ease.
