26 A Forced Focus

He pressed his lips tightly together, Jin Rong’s domineering and earnest devotion to Qin Jiujiu flickering in his mind, along with the words Qin Jiujiu had just spoken to him.

"Is it a problem with our attitude?" Lan Linfeng was also quite astonished. Could it be that they had been ostracized all this time simply because of their own demeanor?

This young Master Du, who exuded the aura of a lead actor in a romantic drama, looked exceptionally melancholy under the glow of the streetlights.

He could banter back and forth with Young Master Zhou now precisely because they were close; having breached the barrier of the most intimate relationship, there was nothing left they could not say.

Having overtaken the old man once more, Li Sanshan felt his suspicions deepen. It was as if by some cumulative effect, or perhaps a curiosity ballooning during a rebellious phase; when things were left to take their natural course, it was fine, but the more he was forbidden to think or act, the more he felt compelled to do just that.

Thus, she volunteered, saying, "I will take the children to City B. We shall meet up there once Jin Rong returns from his business trip in a month."

Recently, Tang Tian had been busy organizing a music festival. With so many artists under the agency, how could they make money without putting on a few shows?

His gaze lingered on Yuanyuan for a long moment before he looked at him. "Fine, give me four days, and I will help you finish off Jun Jinhang."

Luo Tianzi sat on the sofa, holding a contract that had already been signed, studying it with meticulous care.

Moreover, the 170,000 in box office revenue from Jinhe Cinema yesterday, totaling over 200,000 in turnover, had ultimately stimulated the major theaters in Jiangzhou City and its eight subordinate counties.

"Very well, very well. Since my father-in-law is safe now, everything else is easy to discuss," I said.

In fact, the reason Su Yang recruited Bai Anjiang, beyond his special abilities, was primarily to prepare for the upcoming transactions with Wu Yanghua of the Splendid Hotel and the Golden Building.

Huo Yun quickly donned the Black Valkyrie battle mask, ensuring that no one could discern his face.

Gradually, exquisite patterns appeared on the surface of the Yuan Core. It continued to absorb relentlessly, and once the two streams of spiritual energy were assimilated, the core began to desperately draw in the spiritual energy from the surrounding air as well.

The couple finalized the matter. The next step was to wait for the New Year to pass; once Tang Xia and the others were married, they would see what Old Tang and Tang Yongyi decided to do.

"Sister, I think I’ll just stay in Xiashan Village," Xia Zhijian reasoned. After all, he wouldn't be of much help back in Qinghe Village, and staying in Xiashan would allow him to help look after the house.

The iron ring in his hand felt light as air, so light that Wang Shuo suspected he was holding nothing more than a sheet of paper.

"Everything is prepared—hot water, hot soup, and hot meals. Brother... I mean, Fourth Master, please, this way." Hu Panshi bowed and gestured, ushering Guo Sheng and Li Zhangheng inside.

This place was not her territory, and the dangers were still unclear. In particular, she might not be able to defeat even a random bird or beast, potentially becoming their snack. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been circling in place until now.

"Very good. Notify everyone to move out." Killing intent erupted from Yi Tian’s eyes as he picked up his pistol and left the room.

Yet, Su Wanyu could not suppress the curiosity in her heart; she wanted to understand this handsome young man further.

"You..." Qin Zong suddenly flew into a rage. Forcing his way through the pressure exerted by the head of the Fang family, he acted as if possessed, launching an assault on the family head.

At these words, Chen Wan’er’s already blushing cheeks seemed to be veiled in a layer of sunset glow.

The other bodyguard, realizing he had encountered someone troublesome, let out a roar and threw a punch at Qin Tian. Qin Tian caught the fist in his palm; no matter how much strength the bodyguard exerted, he could not break free from Qin Tian’s grip, leaving him stunned.

The first thing Xiao Yi saw were eyes more massive than towering mountains, yet clear and bright as the blue sky.

Before the Solar Star, a youth clad in a "Golden Crow Sun-Day Robe" stood transfixed. Upon hearing the tolling of the bell, he was initially overjoyed, but the next moment, his expression shifted drastically.

At this moment, the fat steward of the Lingnan Han family had a face as red as liver.

But now that Chen Ziyang had descended into the deep well, he would not be coming out for a while. Even if there were strange occurrences outside, he had no choice but to hold out here until he returned.

"Game! Are you down there?" Just then, the voices of Anzu and the others echoed from the top of the stairs outside the door.

"How is this possible? There are actually six monsters on the field!?" Dark Yugi exclaimed in astonishment as he surveyed the situation on Gurimo's side of the field.

Griffin seemed to have surrendered before the match even began, but who could rule out that this wasn't a smokescreen?

The Heat players were startled. The Nets' formation was so imposing that the Heat's defense fell into a momentary panic, jittery at every sound.

"Come forth! My Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba shouted, throwing his duel disk forward with force.

"You still remember so clearly; I suppose that’s hard for you," Duanmu Qi said, smiling brightly in the night breeze.

Yet, even though he knew he was facing a formation, he found himself utterly powerless against a construct that had manifested almost as if it were the real world.

The night wind continued to blow. The dozen or so towering peaks stood in silence, and the firmament grew gradually, ever more somber. Daybreak was coming.

"There are three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my deck; surely you haven't forgotten? Even if you steal one crippled Blue-Eyes, what of it? Your control chain has been broken by me, and the attack power boosts for your other two monsters have all vanished!" 'Kaiba' shouted.

Milicic’s talent was undoubtedly superior to many contemporary star inside players; even Yao Ming’s natural gifts were not quite on par with this Serbian center. Milicic possessed exceptional height, flexible footwork, and the ability to play both inside and out. His ball-handling, passing, and set-shot shooting were enough to allow him to move freely between the center and power forward positions.
