Chapter 78: Mercy

“I understand that everyone wants to make money, but if anyone pesters me about it again, don’t blame me for not supplying you anymore. The workers in this factory are the backbone—without them, you’d have to do the work yourselves.” Shu Yiming’s voice was much louder than usual.

The bearded man was clearly displeased at these words. He took two steps forward and said, “Boss Shu, if you ask me, there’s something off about some of the people in your factory…”

Zhao Fuxin watched them. It was obvious that Wang Er had taken advantage, while Li Si had suffered an injustice.

Zeng Guofan vaulted over the wall and entered the home of a scavenger. He bumped right into an old woman—well over seventy, with white hair covered in a layer of dust. Her face was dark and mottled, streaked with sweat and dirt. She was bent over, tidying up the yard.

“It’s… it’s in Zhulan Mountain! Just head east for ten miles and you’ll find it!” Mao Dingyin looked up in terror at Huo Fei’s frightening expression, nodded hastily, and pointed with a trembling hand.

Ieyasu was gripped by fear at that moment, when suddenly, with a creak, a beam of silvery light shone from nearby.

The First Doll… Black Rose Mercury Lamp—wasn’t that a member of the “Fantastic Rose”? That girl Xia’er really did say too much—he truly did have a connection with “Fantastic Rose,” and it was no ordinary relationship.

Qi Min’s voice rose and fell, sounding rather weary. But Leng Yue and Duan Lingyun never interrupted her; as they listened to Duan Ruxiu’s past, Duan Lingyun’s eyes reddened, and even Leng Yue felt that man was a disgrace to the name of a hero.

“Think it over yourself,” said Xiahou Ce, frowning. He thought that if things turned out that way, someone would have to keep an eye on her, lest any trouble arise to her detriment.

In the end, Ye Tianyu simply called Zhang Zhenghai directly, feeling that this incident likely originated from higher up. Otherwise, how could it have been so tightly controlled? After all, Lin Derong’s status was anything but ordinary.

Ieyasu, in his innocence, dared not let his thoughts wander to even more frightening possibilities.

At this moment, Golden Boy resembled a skilled archer—no demon soldier could get within a hundred feet of him.

Bi Xuan, for his part, was overjoyed and quickly responded on Weibo, even inviting Qin Zhao to discuss how to improve his singing skills when he had time.

The three of them arrived together at the school gate, which, surprisingly, stood wide open. As he stepped through, Zhang Tian felt that the past few days had been a whirlwind. He had just entered the academy and was looking for ways to earn money, only to be given this opportunity to fight outside. Since coming to this world, it seemed that peaceful days were out of reach.

“It’s all right,” she blurted out, but in the next moment her cheeks flushed and her heart raced wildly. Damn it, what was wrong with her now?

Even though Ye Xiu was now her boyfriend and their relationship was official, Lü Bingbing still couldn’t help but mutter to herself in her heart.

“It’s not them? Then who is it?” Daotuo was confused. If it wasn’t those two Chinese men, nor his two arch-rivals, who could it possibly be?

“Maybe it’s that reclusive family. Let’s not dwell on it, Qingqiu. Let’s go see Father and find out if he has any ideas,” Qin Ruo’er said.

Three hundred years of Wheel City’s history were etched in Jiang Yi’s mind; at last, he had gained some understanding of this place.

Thus, the moment Du Yuesheng proposed buying his wharf, he became anxious. Du Yuesheng, however, didn’t mind—he just smiled, said a few polite words, and left with Yuan Shanbao.

Now, she needed to carefully consider how to solve this problem. For Xin Yi, completing the adventurer’s quest was now secondary. The main reason she had gone to such lengths was entirely because of Xia Yueren’s identity.
