Chapter 53

With muffled thuds, the men in black were kicked away one after another like rubber balls, landing on the ground and rolling amidst the messy dishes. The masked men, kicked several meters away, clutched their stomachs and convulsed upon hitting the ground; not a single one was able to get back up.

Jin Zhonghui put down his wine glass, nodded at Lei, and said, "Everything's fine, just a bit shaken up. Once they calm down a bit, they'll be alright. Suchat is inside protecting them." Knowing that "them" referred to Kelly and Fukuda Miyoko, Jin Zhonghui answered without hesitation.

"I asked you a question, are you deaf?" Yang Mo furrowed his brows, his icy gaze sweeping back and forth across Ye Hua like a sharp, piercing sword.

After the special forces operative brought him out, he let him lean against the outer wall of the building to gradually alleviate the blinding glare and pain in his eyes. Patting A3 on the shoulder, the operative said, "Don't worry, bro, I'll vent this anger for you." With that, he raised his rifle again and walked back.

Gao Ziyu thought to himself that after all, he was getting older. How long had it been since they last met, yet he had visibly aged a lot, and his movements were no longer as agile as before.

Tang Weisen did not recognize this man, but seeing him approach menacingly, he instinctively pulled Liu Mei'er behind him.

"Spouting nonsense? Then what is this text message!" Li Weiguan sneered, pulling out the text messages sent by Andao Lin and Andao Yu to the Zhao family. The two An siblings were instantly left speechless.

Luna could not help showing a look of terror, thinking that Lu Fei was going to snap her neck. She believed that with Lu Fei's strength, let alone snapping her neck, tearing her apart completely alive was entirely within his capability.

As long as Yang Mo was willing to leave now, she wouldn't care if it was one, ten, or a hundred—she'd pack up every single cake in the shop for him.

"Understood!" The maid opened the door a crack, pushed the beggar inside, and then immediately shut the door, hurrying away toward the main entrance.

After a moment, she suddenly thought of something, panic flashing in her eyes. She reached out to push Ye Chen away, but then, as if remembering something else, she hurriedly pulled him back.

However, I told you, I cannot bear to see you looking so dejected. Lu'an, look at me and tell yourself: ever since Madam Lin—no, I mean our mother—died, you have endured all this until now. Can you really just give up like this?

Of course, the feelings of these believers are understandable; everyone wishes to live a safe, comfortable, and happy life.

The faint sound of Zhao Qiaozhen's weeping could be heard. Zhang Donghai's heart tightened. With a light leap, he vaulted into Bureau Chief Zhang's courtyard. A large black dog opened its mouth to bark, but Zhang Donghai flicked a silver needle, and the hound wobbled and collapsed to the ground.

This action of his was entirely unexpected by the people. Not expecting him to genuinely turn over a new leaf, the crowd instantly shifted from sorrow to joy, cheering and shouting with excitement.

However, Liu Changfeng looked deeply at the fire-engulfed dark building and took a deep breath. A trace of intoxication and wonderful pleasure appeared on his emaciated face, as if he had just smelled the most marvelous scent in the world.

The furnishings in the hall were simple and elegant, or one could even say utterly empty. Lin Yumeng walked a full circle and, aside from those creepy eight characters, found nothing of value. With a sigh, she had to abandon the search, pushed open a stone door, and walked into the inner chamber.

This Japanese man could be considered a master of acting; it would truly be a waste for him not to be an actor. His performance was lifelike, yet those seemingly innocent eyes occasionally flashed with an imperceptible sinister cunning.

He sipped his fragrant tea leisurely, which once again set Li Tianqi to pondering, unable to figure out what he was really up to. Facing a person like this, Li Tianqi felt a sense of dread, utterly clueless about what the man was thinking or what his next move would be.

Generally speaking, regardless of whether they were genuine or fake, the safest course of action was to probe their true intentions. If it could indeed be accomplished, he would do it for them. Besides, the martial arts prowess they demonstrated just by reaching this place was enough to take his life in this confined space. This matter still required cautious handling.

"Absorb, Divine Farmer Cauldron, absorb for me!" The Medicine God roared furiously, exhausting all his lifelong spiritual power, and instantly sucked the black monkey into the Divine Farmer Cauldron.

"What the hell, no way! He actually knocked a Silver Badge pilot flying with a single wrench?" The staff member responsible for monitoring exclaimed in shock.

Qiushuang's hesitation caused Yuan Qingfeng to nearly press his body against hers. Not expecting this man to get so close to her, Qiushuang instinctively retreated in a flurry. Perhaps backing up too hastily, Qiushuang failed to notice a stone behind her; she tripped over it, lost her balance, and fell backward.

However, just as she stepped out of the Shen family's front gate, the sound of galloping hooves came from across the street. Shen Yunxi looked up and unexpectedly saw that the person on horseback was Long Wu.

"The ultimate technique of the Netherworld Formula—Infinite Devouring!" The pupils of the others shrank involuntarily, and they muttered the words in unison.

"Boss, we lost." Upon returning to the shore, the captain of the Grey Wolves lowered his head, not daring to meet Shen Shisan's gaze.

Shen Shisan's voice was remarkably loud, which, combined with Pang Fei running ahead while holding up his pants, drew everyone in the bureau over to watch the spectacle.

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously silent imperial court instantly erupted into a commotion. The silent officials from Northern Yue successively accused Ye Mingshan of harboring malicious intent. For a time, the entire court was filled with fierce arguments and curses.

"Even if you can't guarantee it, you must guarantee it. After all, if they are still innocent civilians, any merit you've earned won't be enough to offset this," Liu Zhanyuan said without leaving any room for negotiation.
