Chapter 106: Obtaining the Evidence

On the other side, Shu Yiming’s progress was remarkably smooth. Not only had he managed to purchase Liu Amin’s equipment, but he also uncovered many people who held grudges against Liu Amin. By the third day, excavation had already begun.

In his office, Shu Yiming was reading a document when Ouyang Zhuo appeared at the doorway, bringing Niu Erlang with him.

The moment Niu Erlang saw Shu Yiming, he rushed over and dropped to his knees at Shu Yiming’s bedside with a heavy thud.

...

At that moment, no one noticed his departure, for they were all too stunned by the blunt rejection. A hush fell over the crowd, broken only by scattered whispers.

“Heh, don’t worry. I’d like to see who dares to take my life,” Wang Jin said with a laugh, then strode into the Lanruo Temple. In an instant, he had stepped from the entrance into the heart of the temple.

It must be said that Cang Shiyue and Zhao Yina shared a close bond—each was the other’s best confidante. The moment she heard Zhao Yina was unwell, Cang Shiyue was immediately filled with concern.

The crying ceased abruptly as his words fell, and after a brief silence, the faint rustle of fabric could be heard.

Sylvanas fell silent, yet on her pale, fearsome face, a cruel and satisfied smile appeared.

“I see you still have some shred of conscience. From now on, you will be my trusted aide. No one will dare blame you, let alone harm you.” With that, he handed the token to Stone.

“Grandmaster!” The members of the Mohists hurried to their leader’s side. If anything happened to him, they dared not imagine the consequences.

Though the weather was hot, they had already been to many places, even making a trip to a temple.

Yu Yan, though every fiber of her being resisted, was helpless—she no longer had the strength to fight back.

Listening to the sounds of passion and entanglement within the room, Chen Feng gazed inside with reluctance. Liu Siyin yielded herself to Liu San’s every move, and from the sounds, it seemed Liu San was nearly finished.

The human wall was set, and Zhang Shujie prepared for the main kick. He paced backward at an angle, measuring his steps, while the referee stepped away, whistle already between his lips. Just as he was about to blow, he lowered the whistle and strode toward the wall instead.

As he reveled in his triumph, a flash of bright light pierced his vision—a gleaming throwing knife appeared in his eyes.

Tang Huang’s feet were rooted as if nailed to the earth. No matter how fierce Wu Qiang and Wu Lie’s attacks, Tang Huang never budged an inch.

The Iron-Sleeved Heavy Armored Troops, undefeated until now, actually recoiled. The corpses strewn throughout the restaurant served as a stark warning, keeping them from making a single reckless move; fear kept them at bay.

It was not that Chen Zhifan was selfish—Ghost Fullpurse was not a bad sort, and whether or not to mention him had no bearing on the matter at hand.

Yinzaji was also pleased with Yan Tao’s defense, applauding enthusiastically before giving Yan Tao a thumbs-up.

“Um, Master Fan, we didn’t mean it like that!” the leader of the group explained awkwardly.

“Grandpa!” Jiang Fan rushed forward, throwing his arms around Meng Shuigen, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

“Mr. Ye, please don’t say such things. We still need you to break through the Blood Wolf Base’s network. We need you to command the assault on the base. Of all our people, you are the most indispensable. How could we let you lead the charge at the very front?” the Fourth Elder said urgently.

Wen Jian stood his ground, right hand gripping his sword, left arm hanging naturally at his side, blood slowly trickling down.

A ripple swept toward the monstrous Slein. As it passed through, Slein’s body slowly crumbled into ash.

The first time Chu Wuchang saw Cao Zheng sleeping on the beam, he was astonished. Now, having seen it so often, he was no longer surprised.

“All actions of a Watcher must be shrouded in secrecy. Qi Mu is clearly incapable of this. Even if he’s mastered magicka, he’s only barely qualified for our special training—still nothing more than a fledgling insect!” Ouyang Kangsheng snorted coldly.
