Volume One, Chapter 43: The Deserved Fate

Leng Manyi listened and looked at him carefully. She didn’t mind Zhang Wen’s blank expression in the slightest, because to her, Zhang Wen was either solemn-faced or absent-minded and dull.
“Don’t worry. When we arrive, all we’ll need to do is announce the victory,” Moriya replied with a light laugh.
After several minutes, seeing Kendall Jenna return from the restroom, Sun Dahei pulled Scarlett Johansson’s hand and headed toward it themselves.
The Warriors’ starting lineup for this game consisted of the four giants plus the exceptionally skilled defender, Matt Barnes.
Jiang Li had just slain the third chief and hadn’t yet stepped down from the shattered ring when an ethereal, furious cry rang out. A terrifying blood-red serpent’s head pierced through the floor above the arena, trailing a long, blood-red body wreathed in sinister aura as it lunged straight at Jiang Li.
“Don’t go home yet—come with me,” Tianze beckoned, hurriedly striding out of the company.
Kidd collapsed with a dull thud. Kira’s body and mind shuddered; glancing at Bonnie, she exploded with power, transforming into a blur and speeding away. Yet in that instant, Jiang Li shot forward, leaping several times before returning, already clutching Kira in his hand.
Tianze could understand Li Yuanfang; according to company estimates, Universal Robot Company’s sales this year would reach a staggering two trillion, with pure profit alone exceeding one trillion. What is 5% of pure profit? That’s over fifty billion—more than most companies’ net profits.
Miles Turner cast a sympathetic look at Buddy Hield. Though he didn’t know what grudge Buddy had with Sun Dahei, no matter the reason, angering Sun Dahei had disastrous consequences—he himself was proof of that.
Despite some sourness or faint jealousy in people’s hearts, the Valley Master’s decision, coupled with his previous public declaration, left no room for regret.
“It really was to mislead everyone!” Chi Xue suddenly realized, opening all the letters and laying them out together, sorting them into three distinct envelopes.

However, the aura within her was so bizarre that, despite her best efforts to suppress it, Wang Yun could not escape Qin Feng’s “death sense.” No matter how she fled, she always felt a subtle, lingering murderous intent locked onto her from behind.
Chi Xue took the kettle in confusion. When she saw it was full of clean water, her eyes flashed with excitement.
“Who would’ve thought? Honestly, I didn’t even expect it myself. The first time I met Lu Man during the Hunter exam, I barely noticed him. Now, he has far surpassed my expectations…” Killua murmured.
Through the old man’s odd accent and the rodents scurrying about the graveyard, Lu Man concluded that the old man might be some kind of magical beast.
He truly lived up to his reputation as a supervillain; with his intelligence, he’d definitely figure it out, so it was hardly surprising.
She suddenly understood: the villain didn’t dislike her closeness, perhaps he even liked it a little. Otherwise, when she tried to kiss him, he could’ve easily dodged or stopped her.
After refining things properly, he wouldn’t need to draw charms or consecrate artifacts every day, or tell fortunes for people.
“That’s fine. We have a deal—don’t go back on it,” Im Yoona said, giving a thumbs-up and swallowing nervously. The barbecue in her hand suddenly tasted bland.
Su Jinsheng and his two adopted sons, Su Chengfeng and Su Chenglong, keenly sensed the change in the trio’s expressions—especially the subtle facial movements that betrayed overwhelming, barely suppressed joy.
“Big brother!” The other three members of the Yuan family were shocked; Xu Shaoyu’s actions were simply too decisive.
Unfortunately, the man clad in dark armor continued to advance, step by step.

Thinking to himself, Li Zimu pulled the reins, and the horse reared up with a long neigh, coming to a halt.
Then I witnessed a startling scene: Lin Ruoshui’s damned boyfriend tapped his finger lightly, and the Heaven-shaking Seal, suddenly out of control, swung toward me instead.
Just as Guo Tai was about to retort, five extremely familiar figures appeared at the mouth of the dead-end alley. He was facing the entrance and saw them immediately, while the three others had their backs turned and hadn’t noticed the newcomers. Their footsteps were steady, making almost no sound.
Jin wielded a bone-cutting knife found on Brother Lei’s corpse. Its blade was hideous, stained with stubborn, dark red blood that sent chills down the spine.
Li Shuyuan’s door opened; clearly, she’d heard Hou Changfeng’s self-inflicted commotion.
The lack of cultivation techniques plagued not only Katherine—it was a widespread problem. Most nations had no inherited techniques; their histories were simply too short, lacking any real foundation.
She drew a deep breath and silently prayed for good fortune as she jumped into the molten pit.
Hua Mingsheng frowned, and Hua Pearl glanced at the Lamborghini that was relentless in pursuit. They’d already turned several corners, yet it still followed closely. If not for the heavy traffic in the capital during rush hour, with that car, it would have caught up long ago.
This terrorist attack was so sudden, with no prior warning; it was highly unusual.
