Chapter 146: Caught in the Web 26

"A very handsome man." Zhao Siyi silently repeated the girl's words to himself, still disbelieving as he asked, "Are you sure you didn't mistake the person? My cousin told me she was staying here with another girl, and she even called me yesterday to pick them both up."

The woman, wearing garish makeup, replied, "How could that be? When they checked in, it was indeed two girls, but when they checked out later, she was accompanied by a very handsome man. I remember it so clearly because the girl with him was truly stunning, surpassing many A-list celebrities, and the man standing beside her was also hopelessly handsome."

The woman standing next to her chimed in, "That's right, the man was..."

"Alright." Shangguan Shiyue stood up immediately, walked to the printer, plugged it in, and pressed the start button.

When her psychic power fully awakened, like a phoenix descending from the heavens, her strength soared toward near-infinitude. Jean possesses the ability to manipulate the molecular structure of matter and energy, altering their very composition—a formidable power indeed.

Zhang Zian was, of course, happy to oblige. The profit margins on pet supplies are quite high, and these items not only make life easier for the owners but also ensure the comfort of their pets; it was a triple win.

Yanjun stared at him steadily: once a young aristocrat at the pinnacle of prosperity, now covered in dust. There are many down-and-out nobles, but he is the only one whose life is in danger every single second. One wonders how many times in the past two years he has worn the look of a man with nowhere left to turn.

When tracking clues or searching for evidence, they sometimes split into groups to conduct investigations and interviews; in such cases, for the sake of each other's safety, they need to know their counterpart's location at all times.

Upon receiving the order, the team members, each shouldering their massive marching packs, sprinted toward the gray transport plane in the distance.

Why did Aniu become the top boss of the underworld? Zhang Lingling had been pondering this question constantly. "Aniu, I shouldn't have let you go undercover..." Regret welled up in her heart; if Aniu had never gone undercover, perhaps he would never have had any contact with the criminal world at all.

Noble Lady Jin could not finish her sentence before she began to weep. Seeing her cry, my own tears began to flow as well. Noble Lady Yu also wiped away tears from the side.

Aniu felt an immense weight, as if thousands of pounds were binding him, leaving him unable to move. At the same time, he felt as if thousands of snakes were slithering over his body, attempting to burrow into his flesh.

Feng E was not surprised. In truth, from the moment his training began until now, he had been exhausted because he had so few helpers.

Returning to the back of the car, the first thing he did was order everyone to scatter and retreat, telling them to run as far as they could.

"If you want to go to the city, I'll take you some other day." The Taoist priest curled his lip. Seeing the Toad Taoist rush under the eaves and reach the doorway, he paid no mind and waved his hand with an air of magnanimity.

Feng E lay half-reclined in the trench at this moment, and upon feeling the spirit of his brothers, a smile appeared on his face.

The implication was an accusation that Clara was playing games, showing not only a lack of trust but also an attempt to stir up conflict within the royal family; even if the magic potion truly existed, her motives were impure.

Off to the side, the toad, dressed in robes of black patterned with gold, glanced sideways at his disciple, seemingly divining his thoughts, and raised a hand to push aside the swaying beaded curtain.

But Lin Chen was different, whether it was the internal martial arts technique he used just now to overcome hardness with softness against Zhao Jinglei, or the final, unstoppable "shoulder strike."

Compared to the mainland, the Ming Dynasty's military strength in the New World was insufficient. Once war broke out, France and Spain would be more than capable of taking on the Ming without any reservations. Regardless of victory or defeat, the Ming would inevitably suffer heavy losses in such a war, and by then, Britain, which had been watching from the sidelines, would find its opportunity.

"But we can't just watch them run away right under our noses, can we?" Cai Guosheng could not grasp the situation for a moment and exclaimed in frustration.

As for asking Deng Tietou to retrieve the rice, what kind of daydream was that? He didn't think his cheap mother had the charisma to make that scoundrel return.

However, a moment later, the Old Ancestor of a Thousand Souls had completely vanished—vanished so thoroughly that he had turned into absolute nothingness.
