Chapter 46: Nothing More Than Hills and Streams

He had been personally trained by the Great General, who had taught him martial arts, tactics, the art of commanding troops, and how to fight his way out of a desperate situation. Time and again, it had also been the Great General who had saved his life on the battlefield.

The chairman knew perfectly well that Young Master Zhao was nothing but a thuggish scoundrel. Relying on his father’s position as a high-ranking official, he had already extorted a luxury car for free the previous year. Today, he had come to freeload again. He claimed he wanted to buy it, but in truth, he was simply trying to blackmail them.

But by now, darkness had fallen, and with no road signs along the way, she no longer knew which direction to take.

“Call emergency services, now! What are you standing there for?” Zhao Qing said anxiously.

Her family was poor, and they did not even have a communication device.

Seeing the fist coming at him with terrifying force, already close enough to strike, Han Lin remained expressionless. He clenched his right hand and drew it back to his waist, turning his upper body slightly. Then, as he met Jean Yunyin’s punch, he suddenly drove one foot forward. His shoulder rose, and his right fist shot out like lightning. In the space of a spark and a flash, the blow that had been launched later arrived first, colliding head-on with Jean Yunyin’s fist.

“Father, we found the Sweet Hydrogen Water! Ha-ha, it was Young Master Zhang who discovered it!” Gu Qingqing could not wait to tell Guan Kaihui.

What she did not know was that Song Jing was exactly the kind of person who insisted on doing something precisely because he had been told not to. Seeing Chu Anran’s cold expression only stirred up his competitiveness and desire to conquer her.

Then, all at once, Xu Xiangrong remembered that one of his younger cousins, still attending university, had mentioned something about university students being awarded the rank of major after returning from the collegiate league.

Ge Xun truly deserved to be the senior disciple of the Third Rank. Rich in practical combat experience, he remained calm and did not reach out to catch the longsword. Instead, he clamped it between his feet, causing his body to spin even more violently.

Yet at that moment, through a strange twist of fate, she came face-to-face with the man she had once loved so deeply that it had nearly cost her life. In an instant, resentment and bitterness surged within her. Perhaps after years of repression, her emotions had finally erupted.

At the beginning of their relationship, she had regarded it with a measure of admiration and affection. But as time passed, Guan Kaihui discovered his potential and, one could say, had viewed the relationship positively from the very start.

Chigusa Co., Ltd. enjoyed stirring up malicious publicity, deliberately provoking verbal battles in order to attract public attention.

Their expressions changed slightly. They knew that if things continued like this, the two of them would be trapped here by Chu Lingshuang until they died. They had still underestimated Chu Lingshuang’s strength, and as a result, had been forced onto the defensive from the very beginning.

The blade of energy, having lost its target, struck the wall behind them with a thunderous bang. The room shook twice.

Qin Han really wanted to send Editor-in-Chief Wada a reaction image saying, “Sorry, but when you have money, you can do whatever you want.” After thinking it over, however, he decided against it.

Next, Hao Yu questioned the other four commanding generals as well. From their mouths, he received the same information as from the middle-aged man. Once he had confirmed that there was no problem, Hao Yu did not waste any words. He raised his hand and gave a single shake, knocking all five generals, who were already as limp as if they had collapsed, unconscious.

Chen Yi had arrived and found the place extraordinarily lively. Compared with Noxus and Demacia, which were still at war, things here were truly as good as they could possibly be.

Lu Fan had found a way to deal with the extraterrestrials, and the pressure in his heart had eased considerably. After several rounds of drinks, he began discussing their departure with everyone.

Yet, despite everything, they still attracted thieves to their door. Fortunately, Yang Tai was clever enough not to let the man go and did not report him to the authorities. Otherwise, once word spread that the Zhang family was wealthy, someone might well have risked everything to rob them.

It was only when the wolf’s head hit the ground that the three werewolf soldiers realized they had already been severed from their bodies.

The combat-power goggles resembled those used by the Tianyue Empire, but were more advanced, with a newly added regional scanning function.
