Volume 1, Chapter 33: Song Shujun's Guilt

[Page 1 of 3]

Kakashi rarely had the leisure to sit idly at home, yet he felt a faint sense of unease.

“Surely they couldn’t have taken everything, could they?” Wei Wuji asked. If they had removed it all, then the fault lay with the Military Commandant’s Office.

“You four take the upper and lower routes, but remember—you may travel only halfway. Then wait for my orders!” Zhang Yifan instructed.

Yufeng noticed Madara’s expression change for an instant before immediately returning to normal. He found it rather strange.

Las Vegas, America—the famous gambling capital. Every year, countless wealthy men came here to wager fortunes, while countless master cheats either flourished like fish in water or were exposed and met their deaths. In short, it was a place of dazzling extravagance and peril in equal measure.

Within the grandest hall of the Spirit Cloud Sect, amid lavish decorations, only a single table had been placed upon the red carpet.

“I happen to be short one driver. How about having that Young Master Guan of yours play chauffeur for me? As for the compensation, you may name whatever price you like,” Ye Fan said indifferently.

“If it wasn’t him, then who was it? A hero like Uncle Wang would never tolerate his subordinates slaughtering innocents, much less do such a thing himself,” Xiao Tiange said.

“According to Ivan’s dying words, the Hound Base was attacked by hackers, causing its ultimate defenses to fail. That was how the Skynet Hunting Squad succeeded, and how the Hound Base fell.” Cunning Fox spoke slowly, a deep look of worry on his face.

After a sharp crack, the face of the burly man who lunged forward seemed to blossom like a firework. Blood and fragments of the broken bowl sprayed in every direction, and the yellow-faced man toppled headfirst onto the ground.

At a glance, his heart began to pound. He secretly muttered that, aside from his unattractive eyebrows, the man truly had an excellent physique. Unable to restrain himself, his gaze drifted beneath the water, where Tao Fang’s pale body trembled violently. Her enticing, sensitive curves appeared and vanished amid the emerald ripples, creating a breathtakingly alluring sight.

Several mercenaries and guards who were caught unprepared were struck at once. The darts pierced their vital points, and with a muffled groan they collapsed directly to the ground. Blood quickly spread across the earth, staining it crimson.

To make a child of only seven worry so much—Tong Guaiguai began to wonder whether she had been too unreliable.

“Let him speak!” Suppressing his own improper imaginings, Zhang Jiaming fixed his reddening eyes on his trusted subordinate and waved a hand to halt the soldiers.

Tu Baobao hastily cooked two dishes: celery stir-fried with pork, and green peppers scrambled with eggs. They looked passable, and the taste was mediocre but edible. At least they were not poisonous.

“Never negotiate with terrorists.” This was an ironclad rule of the counterterrorism forces of every nation.

“Mother, the Dark Elves were originally kind by nature as well. We must find a way to restore their true nature,” Princess Mido said.

“Half-Barrel, Qingyi, can you hear me?” After speaking, the Yaksha King let out a long breath. He was extremely tense inside; a person might never encounter such a thing even once in a lifetime. Jumping from an altitude of thirty thousand meters meant that one had essentially undergone astronaut training.

While she was pondering this, Jing Hong had already returned once more. When he arrived, he was carrying a roll of blue felt on his back.

Tang Yu raised his head toward the distant sky, as though he could see a face filled with youthful vitality.

Wu Rushi studied the young man beside her. He was a good person, decent by nature, and clearly distinguished love from hatred.

Finding the true cause was the fundamental solution to any problem. Such a demand was easy to state but difficult to fulfill.

Ryoko Hamada immediately surrounded him with Ryuichi and Saito, while Xia Qingfeng stood with Luo Yuechen and Ma Long, staring coldly at him.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant. No one had expected anyone to dare oppose Wu Rushi. For a moment, everyone looked at the approaching man with undisguised admiration.

Unless absolutely necessary, Wu Rushi would not fix her appearance in its original form. After all, she had already become the Dao.

Ye Feng did not say this merely to appear magnanimous. In truth, that was exactly what he believed. Shallow waters cannot nurture dragons; in this world, there is no invincible martial art, only invincible people.

This Ma Qianli seemed to have a violent temper. The slap he gave Ye Zhiqing was extremely loud. I had not expected him to strike Ye Zhiqing so suddenly, and my body jerked along with the crack of the blow.

At that moment, both sides had developed their own misgivings, and Ye Feng could not help feeling relieved. He studied the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan, only to find that the other man’s expression had not changed in the slightest. Ye Feng had considered using the sound of his breathing to discern the state of mind of a master like the Evil King, but that was clearly no easy matter.

After Swan finished bathing, she discovered sorrowfully that the pile of clothes she had bought for a seven-figure sum that day had been taken out in the morning but had not come back with her that evening. She had no idea where she had lost them.

No, she was neither a demon nor a devil, for there was not the slightest trace of the aura possessed by either demons or devils about her.

Because she had never applied herself to her studies and possessed no useful skills, she had spent nearly a year after graduation wandering aimlessly and openly living off her parents. Until her parents finally grew completely tired of her, she had no choice but to leave that warm home—where clothes appeared whenever she reached out and food appeared whenever she opened her mouth—under the pretense of finding work.

The eight guild leaders had all grown up in the Northern Frontier in real life and were thoroughly familiar with the characteristics of the in-game map, so they readily agreed.

“How do you know that? Couldn’t Yamaguchi have deliberately sent them back through an overseas force to avoid suspicion?” Lei Yiran raised her objection.
