Chapter 56: Attending the Competition at Evergrand Group

"Alright, Chairman Ye, I understand. Oh, and there's one more thing—the competition reported by the public starts tomorrow. We need you to attend as a judge!" Secretary Tao spoke up.

"I'm not in a position to appear for this event right now. Let the judging be handled by you in my stead. However, you'll need to find a few professional evaluators as well—when it comes to architecture, neither you nor I are experts."

...

At that very moment, Mo Qiu turned around, and in her jet-black eyes was a gleam of mockery that sent a chill down Wang Bao's spine.

Whether she was joyful, sorrowful, lucid or mad, she was always an extraordinary presence, utterly unique, irreplaceable by anyone.

Night had deepened. The Gold and Silver brothers were still plotting, while Liu Xuan had already slipped into dreams, though his sleep was far from restful.

Yi Xia failed to notice the odd tone in Jiang Sen's voice. For her, Chen Fangping's sudden disappearance was a tremendous shock—a pivotal lesson in her life.

No words were spoken, but anyone who witnessed the scene would feel a deep respect for Yuan Gang's astonishing perseverance.

Of course, what delighted the fox most was its new innate ability: it could transform its fur into scales, granting its body the same fortification as the fire python itself.

Near the wreckage of the first helicopter, two men in black suits crawled out. Looking towards another crashed aircraft, they saw their comrade who had just escaped get shot in the head.

Lu Lin hurried to Tu Shanling and Lu Zhirou, grasping Tu Shanling's hand with his left and Lu Zhirou's with his right, quickly escorting them to the carriage and helping them aboard.

On this day, Yang Lin and his companions passed through a picturesque valley. The scenery was so beautiful that Yang Lin's eyes lit up. Though it was still early, about half an hour before noon, he decided to pause the journey to enjoy the view and have lunch.

Despite all that You Yongli said, he revealed no clues—merely further proof that You De was indeed involved in the underworld.

A hazy shadow flew from her palm, enveloping her body. After a few minutes, the shadow and her form merged completely, and only then did the glow gradually fade.

In the land of those three, mushroom clouds rose—each site was struck by ten or more high-yield nuclear bombs. No matter how deeply it hid, it was doomed to destruction.

"Enough! Send out all our reserve units, and have the garrison in Ozma City dispatch two more divisions. Establish a solid defensive line here, and gradually compress the fanatic forces' area of activity!" General Yoshida drew a line on the map.

Meng Chuan frowned; he hadn't expected Lin Yi to propose such a thing. The other three were silent as well.

The next moment, the six members of the Morton team acted without hesitation, their figures flickering as each selected their respective targets.

Though Cui Kai had been defeated twice in succession by Lin Yi, he knew Lin Yi was extremely clever and cunning—not only a formidable doctor, but surely possessed other abilities yet unseen.

"I don't know what tricks you have, but given the current situation, I wish I'd fought back while I was still clear-headed!" Zhang Man cried, her face full of despair.

Boom! Boom! Jagged underwater reefs were shattered by 'Xingtian,' leaving savage scars across the mech's outer armor.

But as Ren Changhai took just two steps forward, his body was restrained. In the next instant, a vaguely purple, ethereal hand seized him from the air and slammed him to the ground.
