Volume 1, Chapter 31: Could this be a sign from the heavens?

Father Gu was the third eldest in the family.

His branch had moved out of the ancestral estate long ago, choosing not to live under the same roof as the rest. When Gu Jinyan bypassed the older generation to take control of the Gu Corporation directly from the patriarch, the third branch naturally became their primary enemy. Wishing for Gu Jinyan’s death was their shared, long-held aspiration. Now that Gu Jinyan’s wife had handed them an opportunity on a silver platter, it would be a disservice to Jiang Chenyu’s background not to make something of it.

Jiang Chenyu silently looked up at the second aunt, her expression darkening slightly. Using her to attack Gu Jinyan was one thing, but using her to attack Gu’s mother was entirely another. Gu’s mother was such a kind, gentle, and soft-hearted person, and she was the one who raised her younger son...

It was no wonder they had fallen earlier. The stone chamber was pitch black, devoid of lights, and the tomb passage was just as dark. Who could have imagined a trapdoor would suddenly appear in the floor? Could it really be there just to make those entering the tomb fall? Although that fool Natsuki Subaru and his delusions of grandeur had managed to save Emilia once at a critical moment.

He felt incredibly powerful, yet the lack of a worthy opponent clearly left him dissatisfied. He longed to find a famous and powerful ninja to battle, to prove his own strength to the world.

However, that did not mask the essence buried deep within him. His refined and handsome features were now exposed to Fu Chuchu. Unlike the first time she had taken him to the restaurant, there was now a hint of timidity in his eyes.

Tang Shuai had caught the flash of murderous intent hidden by Ximen Jin. Though it lasted only for an instant, Tang Shuai’s sharp eyes had detected it. He realized immediately that Ximen Jun must be plotting against him, which only served to firm up his own resolve.

Harboring sly intentions, we followed them, concerned. Gu Zhebei walked straight down to the fourth floor, clutching a megaphone, and entered the Big Head Toy Store. As the saying goes, better a friend dies than oneself. Even a husband and wife, like birds in the same forest, will fly their separate ways when disaster strikes, let alone mere friends recording a show together.

Ju Yao found his master becoming increasingly unreasonable. Where had he gone wrong?

Before Yun Feng and the others lay a vast, cleared space where the trees had been hacked away. A large number of warriors paced back and forth; some were chatting, some were sparring, and others stood quietly, observing their surroundings.

Bian Wei felt a constricting force tighten around her neck. As her throat was gripped, she felt a sense of suffocation and a prickling itch in her windpipe.

Moonlight: ...This isn't something I can decide with a single word. [Moonlight] is a large family; how do you expect me to set the price?

Lan Sheng realized that the young man who had caught her had shattered both of his arms. Tian You’s cynical, mocking smile loomed large before her.

"Captain, take a look at these bullet casings," Xu Hu said, stepping forward to report.

Within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the Dragon Hawks were all reduced to corpses, save for a few leaders who had escaped.

Lately, he had been doting on her, telling her stories before bed, and talking with her every single day.

"I finally know why it's red. Look." Bian Wei had already opened the supply crate, shining a light on its contents for the two of them to see.

Fortunately, Su Ruan was obedient this time and agreed to everything, allowing Xiao Qingmo to finally board the plane.

Tang Letian carefully sensed the pill in his hand. The power contained within was terrifyingly dense; he even had the sensation that he was holding not a pill, but a star.

The moment he thought of how close she was with Gu Pei, the seeds of jealousy in his heart began to boil and ferment, his eyes clouding over with gloom.

With a dark expression, Mu Manni hung up the phone and dialed Jiang Chengce’s number, intending to angrily demand what he had been doing behind her back. But just as the call was about to connect, she changed her mind and hung up.

Jiang Chengce sighed deeply after hearing this. His look of absolute confidence had vanished, replaced by a face filled with worry.
