Chapter 62: Extortion, Cooperation, Collecting Money

Diana Cuno's face was now a mask of pure terror.
What the hell was going on!
She only remembered walking up to her office door, pushing it open, and then a shadowy figure seemed to flash before her eyes, after which she remembered nothing at all.
Panicked, she looked around, touching her neck as she still felt a phantom pain lingering there.
"Security! Where is security!"
Diana immediately called for security, then hurried back to her desk in a fluster.

Seeing Ding Ying's face flushed as red as an overripe apple, Chang Ning hastily reined himself in. Haste makes waste, and with the long night stretching ahead, why rush it all at once?

Because he was the supreme spirit of all primates between heaven and earth, manifesting a true dragon form to slay the enemy in a single strike—this was an ancient dragon clan secret technique that far transcended the scope of ordinary spiritual arts.

He looked back and saw Xing'er standing against the wind, her clothes and hair fluttering. Perhaps, besides a life of quiet seclusion, there could be another way of living in this mortal world.

Guo Fengxuan did not dare to gamble. Fearing that Wang Xian still had the strength to kill him and prioritizing his survival above all else, he decisively chose to flee.

Besides, even if one were to place a bet, nobody would ever bet on zero. Was this guy's brain kicked by a donkey?

"Hey! Can you stop? Calmed down first!" Ace said to Caron in an unhurried tone.

"Well, it is getting late. We master and disciple still have matters to attend to, so we shall take our leave now," Nangong Chu said, cupping his fists in a salute to the Long brothers.

Although the national security personnel had all prepared their weapons, engaging in a large-scale firefight with the opposing side was unwise. Casualties were one thing, but the fallout would be too immense to explain away.

At this moment, Lu Xiao's face turned ashen. He was utterly dumbfounded by everything before him. Wasn't it said that this fellow's martial arts had been sealed by the head of the family using a unique technique? How could things still turn out like this?

In fact, Zhao Xueqi's Haotian Real Estate office had indeed been relocated, and there was no helping it. Three days ago, tremors suddenly erupted beneath the foundations of the Azure Dragon Building, prompting the immediate evacuation of everyone inside.

"Xuanji." A profound sense of possessiveness flooded Yehua's entire being. For some reason, thinking of how she had previously rested in Yu Wuxia's arms sent a dull ache through his heart, leaving no room for any resistance on her part.

A wave of warmth washed over me, and I initially wanted to say thank you, but with Ji Manrou following right behind, I had to drop the idea. If she misinterpreted it as us showing off our affection and let jealousy drive her to plot against me, I would only be asking for trouble.

This restaurant enjoyed immense fame within the city, and everyone dining there was either wealthy or noble. If this were in the past, Gao Mingfan wouldn't even dare to dream of such a place. However, with the enhancement of his current abilities, his acting skills had also reached new heights.

Had it not been for Gongsun Zan's sake, the two of them would undoubtedly have started mocking Wang Xuan by now, ridiculing him for trying to write about famous scholars before even growing his facial hair.

Wang Chuan wanted to close his eyes, but found he couldn't. After a moment of silence, his figure soared away into the distance.

Time ticked by second by second. The green energy within Gao Pingfan's body was almost entirely depleted. He ceased the flow of his energy, withdrew his hand, but continued to gaze intently at Tian Tian's body, sensing the green energy neutralizing the chill within him.

"Are you Young Master Yan or Xu Qing?" Liang Xuan recalled something and asked, looking at the young man.

Inside the council hall of Snake Coil Mountain, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Jade Sandzong sat very respectfully to the right of Wei Wuyang. He was a former elder of the Jade Sandzong; after such a catastrophic ordeal, his past dignity and arrogance had all been ground to dust inside the mining tunnels.

The Nightmare System rarely spoke on its own accord. Since it spoke this time, it meant this ancient text must be an extraordinary object.

A deeper doubt now gripped her heart! Could he be a traitor? Why would he help these mercenaries find the exit to the secret passage? Was saving her just a trick to win her trust?
