The Second Rank Announcement (Part Two)

"All right, I understand. I'll be heading out first, you should drop by the company later as well." Without waiting for Yu Sanjiao's reply, Zhao Long walked out of the trading room. He knew Yu Sanjiao wouldn't answer him anyway, and he couldn't be bothered to argue with him, lest it ruin his mood.

I've seen him give me as much as a fifty percent discount at most—meaning he could literally cut the price in half for me! Shoes worth over a hundred were handed over for me to take back and try on first for just fifty.

Seeing this, Yao Ze could only shake his head with a bitter smile. The gap in cultivation realms was still too vast, yet the might of the Violet Lightning Hammer remained unaffected, hurtling toward the giant in the blink of an eye.

By this point, everyone was completely convinced by Big Bull's analysis. Liu Wei, in particular, realized that had it not been for Big Bull's dissuasion, given his impatient temperament, he probably would have bought in yesterday and suffered a severe, deep trap today. Therefore, while feeling a lingering sense of fear, he admired Big Bull's stock-trading prowess even more.

"I never really realized... that you have this uncanny ability to push someone to the verge of internal injury without even changing expression," Purda said expressionlessly. As he spoke, he suddenly let out a cough, and a mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth. Droplets of blood spattered into the sewage below, and a streak of red hung beneath his lips, which were habitually curled in a sarcastic smile.

Though reluctant, though unwilling, Su Mo still turned around and placed her hand on the doorknob. In her heart, she desperately wished He Jingyan would stop her, yet he still did not.

"Fine, you won't tell me, will you? If you won't tell me, I'll go find out myself! And if I can't find out, I'll go ask An Mingxin!" she dropped this harsh ultimatum, purely to pressure Fu Heyuan.

Yang Mancun already sat on hundreds of thousands of floating profits in ZTE Corporation, and compared to yesterday's closing price, the stock had risen again today. He could comfortably lock in his gains whenever he pleased. True, it had dropped a few points yesterday, but in the face of such lucrative returns, what did that matter? Who on earth could ever manage to sell at the absolute peak?

As for why these team members chose the cumbersome method of carrying them horizontally in their arms rather than strapping them to their backs, it was all thanks to their meticulous care and deep camaraderie. After all, carrying them this way significantly lowered the chance of secondary injury for the wounded compared to piggybacking them.

"Lunatic!" Feng Yang was hardly going to believe this weirdo. The eccentric was dressed entirely in black—shirt and trousers alike—and exuded an unidentifiable scent, looking every bit like a malicious entity.

"Xiali Liu, why are you here?" Liu Lanxin was the first to recover her wits. If she remembered correctly, Xiali Liu ought to be at home.

Ye Suiyun was utterly confused, having no idea how to respond. The man let out a cold snort and said, "Always acting willfully and recklessly, completely lacking a sense of propriety." It was unclear whether he was referring to Ye Suiyun or Li Fu.

Seeing this, a certain young man felt a wave of relief before suddenly turning his gaze toward the young police officer lying on the ground.

If they couldn't even fend off a boastful twelfth-layer Qi Condensation cultivator, then the Murong family was truly due for an overhaul.

The male regained his composure first and said, "My name is Brother Yangbao, you can just call me Brother Yangbao, and this is Azhu." Ye Suiyun couldn't help but be rendered speechless, thinking to himself that surely no one demanded strangers call them "brother" upon a first meeting; this person really was rather foolishly earnest.

"This is the terror of the nano-mega-cannon!" It wasn't Zhang Yifan's first time seeing one; he had witnessed it in his past life as well.

And now, this King of Wei was seeking to marry Ji Wanyue. The implications behind this were quite intriguing... Could this possibly involve the power struggle between the states of Qin and Wei?

"Hehe, given Kakashis abilities, he probably doesn't need my rescue. Besides, spatial ninjutsu is Kakashi's specialty, after all. All we need to do is hold out until Kakashi returns," Orochimaru said with a light chuckle.

Finally, someone cracked under the pressure and stepped forward of their own accord—an officer of middle rank.

The second-generation superpowered individuals hesitated, not immediately leaving the banquet hall. Yvonne glared at them and said with heightened emphasis, "Did you not understand what I said?" Only then did these people retreat one after another.

When Feng Luohyu opened his eyes once more and looked out the window, dusk had already fallen. The sun lingered halfway down the mountain, yet to dip below the horizon. The distinctive purplish-red sunset glow unique to the rising sun greeted his eyes, breathtakingly resplendent.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Yaoquan wound up his punch and drove it straight into Jiang Chengce's face. Jiang Chengce neither dodged nor parried, and thus was knocked flat to the ground by the full force of Zhang Yaoquan's blow.

A faint ripple stirred within Jun Hui's heart at that moment. She didn't know why she felt this way, only that a trace of sorrowful emotion lingered in the depths of her soul, assaulting a heart that had never known impulse before.

Such a status, no matter whose eyes it fell into, was enough to stir towering billows, for ever since the appearance of the "Investigative Envoys," no one had ever laid eyes upon their true faces. Now that Ye Fan had stepped forward with such a high-profile debut, it naturally invited deep apprehension.

Some matters are best endured and let go; forbearance is the ultimate virtue. Since she currently lacked the capability to protect herself, she would cultivate slowly until the day she became invincible across the realm, at which point she would truly display her dazzling radiance. Genius requires patience, the world demands study, and survival necessitates endurance.

Jun Hui let out a soft sigh as well. Thinking of what had just transpired, a wave of lingering fear washed over her—she had nearly failed to make it out alive.

Jiang Chengce executed a sharp U-turn, spinning the Dodge Viper around and driving away from this oppressive and sorrowful place.

The black beam of light previously unleashed by the water demon was shattered to pieces by Muxue's roar, transforming into specks of black starlight that scattered in all directions.

The entire dormitory building had already stirred into motion at Instructor Ren's whistle. Clattering and clanking echoed endlessly; ten minutes was simply far too short a time for anyone. In this bustling environment, Yi Yang, who had changed his clothes early on and stood there composedly, appeared particularly conspicuous.

Attorney Wu felt as though he had stumbled upon a blockbuster piece of juicy gossip, yet his professional ethics as a lawyer strictly forbade him from divulging a client's secrets.

Though humble in his words, Jia Yuanchun's heart was filled with pleasant astonishment. He had never expected Jia Chen to be so unfathomable, possessing martial arts of such formidable caliber.

He ought to have remained completely indifferent, should have pretended not to hear and continued chatting with Xuedao, but... why on earth did he hesitate?

Arthur gazed at the Lamplighter's retreating back without a shred of pity. All of this was entirely his own doing; opportunities had been laid out right before him, yet he hadn't dared to grasp them. What else was there to say?
