Chapter 34: The Jiang Family of Tuzhou (6)

"Consultant Lin, your Husky is truly remarkable. To perform so brilliantly after only two days of training is impressive," Wang Dun praised.

The bow of the cruiser erupted into a raging inferno, and shrill alarms blared throughout the vessel. The force of the explosion nearly knocked Major General Cheng off his feet; as he fell, he struck his head on a nearby object, raising a large, painful lump.

Ninety percent of those present were well aware of the vehicles that came to pick up produce for Juyuanxuan, but they were unfamiliar with Han Bing’s black Mercedes.

Xiao Fei, coming from an elite family, didn't mind skipping a chauffeured car, just as someone with a net worth of over a hundred million might choose to drive a taxi for fun. The moment he stepped into the cab, he could tell the driver possessed a certain knack for good fortune.

"Nearly twenty police dogs in our base have contracted canine distemper," Elder Liu said. "Two-thirds of them are narcotics detection dogs. Furthermore, the four dogs that were diagnosed first and suffered the most severe symptoms were, without exception, narcotics detection dogs."

The staff officer looked bewildered. He had just heard the gunshots himself, and to be honest, he lacked the ability to pinpoint their direction in such a short amount of time.

Watching this demon appear out of thin air, even the man from the Xuanyuan clan was startled, his heart pounding in his chest. Even with his immortal cultivation, he felt incredibly pale and insignificant in the presence of this being.

After a long while, Murong Xuan finally explained his true purpose for coming to the Xilin Mountain Range to Xiao Yan. Throughout the explanation, Xiao Yan’s expression remained grave, and by the end, a shadow of gloom had settled upon his face.

Afterward, as if blaming Jiang Fan for shattering his beautiful dream, he shot him a fierce glare before running back to the stone-cutting table, picking up the grinder to resume his work.

"Ding!" Link snapped the blade. Even a sword capable of cutting through a spaceship wasn't strong enough for him. Pressing a hand against the opponent, he attempted to infiltrate the brain with a magnetic field... but failed.

Thus, upon learning by chance that Jiang Fangfang was going to work as a nanny for the Deng family, Ma Dong first established a close connection with Deng Yan through her. He then catered to Deng Yan’s preferences by gifting calligraphy, paintings, and jade chess sets, eventually reaching a point where the other party would accept money without hesitation.

Jin Nanzhou had been cut off from the outside world for three days. He sat on a bench outside the hospital room, his heart heavy with concern.

Liang Jinyi and Lin Yimo noticed her and exchanged a glance, both looking at her with the same unspoken thought.

Ruo briefly explained to the two of them how he had discovered the serum at the Sherman Pharmaceutical plant and subsequently seized it from the Power Broker’s company at the Port of New York, though he omitted the fact that he had located the serum through Kingpin.

"We’re on the same team, aren't we? Just tell me what you need, old boss!" Ma Dong uncrossed his right leg from his left, then crossed his left over his right, continuing to bounce his leg.

"Bone Hyperplasia" is not omnipotent; at most, it can double the number of bones in a skeleton. Upgrading can further increase the quantity or quality, but there is ultimately a limit.

"It’s a pity. If he were a bit better looking, he might have had a chance to debut in a group," Yu Wan sighed regretfully.

But at this point, there was no use dwelling on it. She could only hold her head high, eyes fixed forward, listening intently to the synchronized footsteps of the formation behind her, striving to stay in perfect step with them.

The process for refining extraordinary protein powder is similar, but the final filtration step requires more specialized equipment; ordinary machines cannot isolate the extraordinary protein hidden within standard powder.

His parents wanted to go traveling; now that they were in their later years and had the means, they didn't want to toil away—they wanted to enjoy life while they could.

He couldn't bring himself to praise her. As someone who had been glued to Gu Chacha’s side, he could clearly see that her awareness had not been the same these past two years.

Nalan Che’s gaze remained fixed on Dongfang Mo, never wavering. Looking at the man who, until recently, had affectionately called him "Uncle," he couldn't help but feel how much times had changed.

She must have been too excited upon hearing others call her a mermaid, and in her sudden movement, she had aggravated her foot injury. She hadn't moved much before, and the numbing pain had made her forget about it... Well, now that she had moved, it hurt—it hurt terribly.

However, before Zhou Weizong could return the item to Yu Xian, Wen Lancheng snatched it away to take another look.

The scene was truly grand; with the highest authorities of the four realms appearing simultaneously, it was an extraordinary spectacle.

Facing the gaze of the Direclaw Bear, Tang Chen actually seemed to understand its intent, and he spoke in a tone tinged with apology.

Lost in thought, Sanna couldn't help but let a sinister smile creep across her rough-featured face.

Otherwise, if the opponent became wary, a soul at the Divine Treasury realm might well choose to go down in a blaze of glory.

Without realizing it, I walked out of Yuhua Lane, waving goodbye to the children until they were no longer in sight, their lingering gazes following me.

But Dulu and Runa didn't find it laughable—or rather, they were in no mood to mock anyone at the moment.

One must realize that the central leadership transition was only a year away, at which point a new team would be elected. If Li Jianye played his cards right, he might just become an alternate member of the Central Committee and enter the core of China’s political hierarchy.

Setting aside the fact that Xu Changsheng had indirectly helped him and Cheng Yuanyuan find closure, his sheer courage in confronting the Ghost King head-on was enough to earn Zhao Zijie’s complete respect. Having previously heard his father praise Xu Changsheng, he had harbored some competitive thoughts, but now, only admiration and gratitude remained.

Xue Pan rose in a daze. The Palace Censor checked his attire once more for any improprieties before escorting him out.

The talented scholars on Ying Hong’s side were also stumped upon hearing the question.

In Wang Jian’s view, the shift in the relationship between these two best friends was far more significant than the appearance of the final "big boss."

Although the brand had already taken steps to protect its logo, the truth was that Gucci products had not yet entered the domestic market at that time. Very few people recognized the mark, and because there was no need for product promotion, the Gucci company had not thought to secure the rights to the Chinese characters for "Gucci."
