Volume 1, Chapter 59: Dropping All Pretexts and Drawing the Battle Lines

Fu Yanzhou was a successful businessman.
No matter the circumstances, he always knew how to maximize his own interests.
Yet, this time, the reason he hesitated for so long was because he wanted to find a win-win solution.
Since he had promised to make it up to Lin Zhiwan, he naturally could not break his word.
Fu Yanzhou walked over and sat down beside the hospital bed.
Pan Yue had never deigned to look at me straight in the past, but now that she needed me to do something, she finally remembered I existed. I felt nothing but utter disdain in my heart.
The sky began to brighten gradually, and the rolling hills in the distance slowly revealed their outlines in the morning light.
"I said she was arrogant and disrespectful to her elders. Well, everyone saw it for yourselves, didn't you? She's usually even worse than this at home," Pan Yue said, clinging to her husband with the swagger of a lackey emboldened by his master.
When his figure reappeared, he had already materialized behind the martial artists of the Kunyuan Sect.
Listening to Xu Fen decline the boss's kind offer, the nearby men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the boss had money, which meant their wages were secure, and the looks they cast at Xu Fen were filled with goodwill.
Huang Shuxiang glared at me and turned on her heel, hurrying out of my sight. As I watched her retreating figure, I noticed she was limping. Having been relatively close to her earlier, I could clearly see the severe bruising at the corner of her eye—it was obviously no ordinary injury and bore the unmistakable mark of a beating.
Wang Tiemei had no choice but to drop the subject. "All right then, but you must come over for a meal next time, and it would be best if you bring Battalion Commander Gu with you," she said with a smile.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside the ward, and moments later, Yang Aiguo and Gu Jingshen rushed in.
As for the other part, such as the occasional abnormal physical reactions like a racing heartbeat or sweating palms, the causes remained unknown.
Word gradually spread around the company that Wu Zinon had been hospitalized. In particular, a few close colleagues from the marketing department discussed going to the hospital together to visit him.
Watching the venomous ghouls and corpse witches before him steadily retreat, a trace of a smile could not help but surface in Lin Fan's eyes. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed a torrent of ten thousand dragons flying in unison, blasting the creatures back across a vast distance.
Lei Zhan simply tossed it onto an even larger warship and gave it a gentle pull downward, causing the vessel to sway and plummet out of the sky.
"She curtly told me never to mention you in front of her and President Han again. So I gave her the address here. She said she would be right over and ordered all the security guards to wait for her arrival without leaving the premises, halting all further training."
The childish voice was filled with intense anger. The pitiful giant python wanted to raise its head in defiance, but that overwhelming pressure pinned it firmly down, leaving it unable to lift its head at all.
"Report, we found a ledger." Huang Ting still wanted to tease Ye Shao when a police officer ran over from the cave holding a ledger.
Therefore, Liu Shiya thoroughly disliked Merry. Furthermore, she hoped that Suyang would stay away from Merry and avoid being seduced and tempted by her.
However, the Three-Talent Sword Formation had a very specific requirement: those who wielded it had to not only be fellow disciples, but also practice and live together day after day for decades... To be honest, meeting that condition was quite difficult.
I nodded in assent. As the silver coins in my inventory automatically dwindled, the two weapons emitted the radiant glow they rightfully possessed.
I frowned, muttering inwardly. How could such a major event happen without my knowledge? How is Wang Jiao doing now? Where on earth is she?
When bidding farewell to Thor and his followers, he had deliberately chosen this scenic meadow with sparse monsters so that he could enjoy a moment of temporary freshness and tranquility.
