Chapter 25: More Work, More Reward

On the way there, he had been thinking that if he could not reason with her, then they would just get a divorce. Splitting the assets in half would not really change anything, right?

Han Mo felt a sense of bewilderment. Since the guest had left, why had he not seen them in the lobby? Could it be that they had slipped out through the back door? Was there something so shameful about that?

Whether Lin Yi had a history with Zigong was still unknown, and it was better not to interfere with the path he would choose to walk in the future.

"How bold! Is that any way to speak to the young master?" Before Ding Che could even turn his gaze or utter a word, a sharp reprimand rang out beside him.

"Why are there so many experts? Oh, what rotten luck!" Ye Yu cried out in his heart. A hunter kicked him square in the chest, sending him flying.

With two faint, almost imperceptible gunshots, the two American soldiers lying on the ground gripping their machine guns collapsed without so much as a whimper.

Duan Lang’s triumph would inevitably lead to someone else’s disappointment. When there are many disappointed people, it is not very pleasant for the one who is triumphant—in competition, there are no permanent winners, only temporary ones.

The Federal University’s regulations were strict, but for those two to commit such violence there, it was clear that they were either outsiders or simply unafraid of the rules. Yet, if the situation escalated, they would surely face trouble.

"Splash!" A massive, jet-black skeletal fish burst from the water, followed by several flying iron swords, their fierce killing intent blocking the way.

Ling Xi was moved by these words. In the original host’s memories, Zhan Zhengxuan had forced her to study Taoism simply because he had no son and did not want his so-called Heavenly Master Taoist lineage to die out.

Adam’s gaze went blank the moment he saw the final line of Mario’s attributes. Level Eight?! Damn it! His combat stats had doubled! Mario now possessed the strength of a Level Eight Battle-Qi Warrior. No wonder he had been able to suppress the axe-wielding man so easily.

The ghostly claws were terrifyingly sinister! Tang Yeyue found a stone the size of two bricks and smashed it toward their heads! Yin Canghun narrowed his eyes, leaped up, and delivered a fierce leg strike. With a sharp crack, the stone was driven deep into the mud by the force of his kick.

An average person spent only about one Divine Grace Coin a year, and most commoners used Silver Glow Coins; they could not afford Divine Grace Coins.

Looking closely, one could indeed see two images so faint they were nearly invisible to the naked eye. What else could they be but the "Ascension of the Immortals" and the "Buddha Preaching the Dharma"?

However, those still running wild in Tokyo at this time, besides the low-life demons and monsters, included another breed of people.

The surprise attack on Lujiazhuang by the Left Wing Column ended in victory. They had seized substantial spoils, wiped out nearly a hundred enemies, and gained total control of the Lujiazhuang station. This effectively blocked the enemy reinforcements from Yangquan, Yuci, and Taigu, laying a solid foundation for the Eighth Route Army’s various corps and regional forces to carry out the total destruction of the Zhengtai Railway—the "Hundred Regiments Offensive."

While she hesitated, the coffin did not remain idle. The pungent scent of blood sent it into a frenzy; it tore a deep trench into the ground and only came to a halt right in front of Li Xuanqiu.

"Mr. Oshima, I can tell you that I was shot by a Japanese soldier at the end of the Zoumayi campaign. The bullet missed my heart by five millimeters. After it was removed, I remained in a coma. That is the situation." Lei Jian recounted the origin of his injury without reservation.

Those who wished to invite Zhang Yi back to serve as Chancellor naturally represented the faction in the State of Wei that favored the State of Qin. Zhang Yi had previously served as Chancellor of Wei during the period when relations between Qin and Wei were at their best. This group hoped for his return, aiming to board the war chariot of Qin and forge ahead recklessly.

Tong Fengyi brought Qiu Zeyuan back to the Governor’s Mansion, secretly relieved that everything seemed normal. Just as he was preparing to escort Qiu Zeyuan to his room to rest, the mansion suddenly blazed with light. Seeing Qiu Jiyuan and Tong Guangting sitting bolt upright in the main hall, Tong Fengyi felt cold sweat drench his back.

What was happening? Everyone panicked. What was this? Why did the usually haughty Emperor act this way upon seeing this young man?

"You’ve forgotten one place. That property doesn’t belong to Tianyang City, nor is it controlled by any family!" Mu Yang said with a mysterious smile.

The famous name of Lin Yin and the summary of the assets under his name inevitably stung Jiang Shengjiu’s heart.

The man before her had beautiful, long, silver-white hair. He wore a bright red robe, his peach-blossom eyes slightly lowered, and his long lashes concealed the complex emotions in his gaze. He exuded a somewhat contradictory temperament.

They, including Qing Yan, Empress Xuanyuan, and others, were permitted to stay in the tents due to the assassination attempt. Liao Yuanfa chose the simple task of picking mushrooms.

"Who are you calling unreasonable?! Who are you calling irrational?! We’ve only been married eight days and you dare to point at my nose and curse me? If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll be tearing the roof down next!" With that, He Yanjun raised her hand as if to strike Tong Fengyi.

"Then why don't you arrange a dinner? Let everyone sit down and discuss the project properly." Su Tong lowered her head, her expression unreadable.

Ling Jiantong leaned against a tree trunk, her shifty eyes occasionally glancing at the barbarian who was already sound asleep on a rock. The thick rope binding her hands had been worn down halfway through. She had to escape while the barbarian was still in a deep sleep, otherwise, if discovered, it would be a disaster.

"Spare me the nonsense. Just answer what you are asked," Wang Dong said, slapping his hand down bluntly.
