Chapter 27: Did you hear me clearly?

Before going to bed, Shi Ran received a notification from Secretary Su.

“Assistant Shi, I have some matters to attend to tomorrow. You will accompany Director Zuo to the meeting.”

Attend a meeting?

Wasn’t she a personal assistant?

Shi Ran’s fingers hovered over the keyboard as she typed out a message, wanting to clarify the situation.

The face of Zuo Yelin surfaced in her mind, and her heart...

The two approaches were simply different. The Fate Hunters specialized in hunting and plundering others to strengthen themselves, primarily targeting the so-called Children of Destiny.

At that moment, confusion swirled within him as well. Despite his terrifying grip, Kate’s wrist hadn’t shattered immediately. Moreover, if his perception was accurate, the Krypton space seemed to have flickered when he tested Kate.

Some supernaturals had engaged in transactions that technically didn’t exist; when they received trade notification messages, they were still clueless about the true nature of the deals.

The battle scene, with thousands upon thousands of skeleton soldiers clashing, stirred Li Ling’s blood to boil. He thought to himself how wonderful it would be to deploy a corpse-refining formation on the battlefield.

Senior disciples Xing You and her two juniors showed some insightful roots; after all, it wasn’t easy to attain enlightenment just from a few words from Huazhi. They were not fools.

Officer Ding was dumbfounded as well. He had long suspected some misunderstanding but never imagined his subordinates could be so wildly mistaken.

Just as he finished speaking, a sudden roar erupted nearby, like the throat of a beast being strangled. Star’s expression changed drastically as he dashed off at full speed.

Huazhi nearly screamed at the top of her lungs, unable to restrain her voice for fear that her brother might say something reckless again.

Mu Yang knew it was impossible to get improvements from the Northern Realm King, so he lowered his expectations and revealed his plan to downgrade the Realm King Fist to make it accessible to Earthlings.

Fang Er, an ugly, crooked-faced man exuding the aura of a street thug, was cunning and sly. Especially skilled at setting traps and deceiving those who ventured out to seek a living, he thrived on his crafty schemes and had recently drawn the attention of the city lord.

Murong Qingwan was trapped between his arms, too afraid to move a muscle, lest she provoke the desire pressing against her slender waist.

Unexpectedly, the secrets he had hidden so meticulously all fell into the hands of Xiao Changque without his slightest awareness.

The words hovered on her lips, repeated over and over in her mind, yet she never summoned the courage to ask aloud. In the end, she silently ended the call.

After the Dragon Priest emitted a detestable laugh, the remaining hand tapped repeatedly in the void.

Ling Yu followed Qian Feng closely as he stepped out, afraid that Qian Feng might do something reckless. Upon seeing Qian Feng’s expression, Ling Yu understood most of the situation.

With a sharp clang, the man who was about to curse Xi Ruoyu’s mother suddenly changed color, his finger pointing at Xi Ruoyu’s right hand, which seemed frozen mid-air.

Qing He had figured out exactly who it was. He instructed Section Chief Bai to find Yun Bai and bring her home, away from the afternoon’s troubles.

Qing He’s hand kept stroking downward, reaching the hem of her clothes. Lingering there for a moment, it slipped beneath the fabric. Yun Bai, quick-witted, reflexively grabbed Qing He’s hand.

Upon waking at dawn, Su Nuannuan suddenly lifted her head, looking toward the bed, which was already empty.

The giant ape’s face bore a mocking expression as he glanced back and forth between Lin Nan and Qilin, sneering coldly. The voice seemed imbued with boundless murderous intent, chilling one as if plunged into an ice pit.

Chen Zihua placed the ball on the ground and passed it to Su Suo. Su Suo made a diagonal pass into the penalty area. This time, Chiellini did not err; he intercepted cleanly and launched a long kick to Alves.

Lu Youshan saw his expression and patted his shoulder, consoling, “Brother Ye, don’t be too upset. Maybe your grandmother has just moved somewhere else; it might not be anything serious.” He knew these words were merely to comfort him. Thinking carefully, how likely was it for someone of such an age to move house?
