Chapter 32: He Had Been Set Up

The restaurant owner had not expected her to attack so suddenly. Before he could react, she grabbed him by the collar and slapped him.

The restaurant owner flew into a rage as well. He shoved her away forcefully, his face twisted with anger. “You old woman, what kind of filthy accusation are you making? I didn’t even know who she was before she jumped from the building! Don’t go spreading rumors!”

Mother Xie took advantage of the momentum and sat down on the ground, beating her thighs as she wailed bitterly. “There’s no justice in this world! My child was working here perfectly well, and after only a few days on the job, she’s dead! If you’re saying it wasn’t—”

The dining table was laden with dish after dish. Everyone had different tastes and naturally favored different foods, but this particular dish of boiled cabbage was something each of them could enjoy.

“That bastard is utterly vile. I’m never speaking to him again.” He Yuxiao walked out of the lingerie shop, her face cold with anger. How could she have ever known such a shameless man?

After a brief sigh of emotion, Lu Qingfeng decided to leave immediately. He had no interstellar vessel, the Five Elements were still asleep, and most importantly, the interstellar coordinate map was not with him.

“Jin Rouyue, aren’t you waiting for your boyfriend? Would he even dare come to a place like this?” Ling Yangfeng turned his gaze back to Jin Rouyue and laughed contemptuously.

Although the Dutch believed that, on the seas, the Spaniards were somewhat inferior to them, the difference was only a matter of degree. The Taiwanese navy that had defeated the Spaniards had already earned the recognition of all the Dutch in the Far East.

“I—I understand.” Chen Yuan was startled by her solemn expression and naturally had no grounds to refuse.

Wei Qian could be considered Lu Pingfeng’s senior, while Cui Ning was a woman; thus, it was not entirely improper for them to enter Lu Pingfeng’s bedchamber.

From Lu Qingfeng’s words, it was not difficult to tell that the visitor was Ma Zhenshan. He had only just left and had now returned, which left Lu Qingfeng somewhat puzzled.

Bah, bah, bah. That thought was only fit for private grumbling. He was, after all, an elder; she could not be so disrespectful. Gu Meijing continued to brood miserably, completely unaware that Xiao Quan was gazing at her belly with profound significance.

A single ordinary office building could easily cost at least five hundred thousand a year in rent. There were more than twenty offices on one floor alone, and renting out the entire floor would cost over ten million a year.

The young man calmly accepted the envious yet restrained glances from all around him, the corners of his lips lifting as delight filled his heart.

“Prepare the night-vision goggles.” After seeing Gao Fei’s one-minute-preparation hand signal, Wang Chaoyang spoke to the others.

At that moment, fireballs erupted one after another. Their pure energy attacks battered the castle until it began to loosen and crumble. Whenever a soldier hiding behind the castle failed to dodge and was struck by a fireball, flames engulfed his entire body. He writhed in agony before eventually being burned to a crisp.

The skills carried by the three-headed fire dragon were a variation Ye Feng had conceived earlier while studying rune formations.

To temper Dari thoroughly, Elena made him the vanguard who cleared the way for everyone. Wielding a broad-backed machete, Dari sweated profusely as he hacked through the weeds blocking their path.

The moment he saw what was happening and understood what she intended to do, Guo Qu immediately stepped to the right, raising the hand that held his dagger and assuming a defensive stance.

Only after Lin Yu reached the Foundation Establishment stage did he realize how terrifying Feng Ziling was. Even after attaining Foundation Establishment, he still could not detect her current strength. It was not that her power was simply too great; rather, she seemed to possess some method of concealing her true strength. To Lin Yu, trying to sense her was like a mud cow sinking into the sea—utterly futile.

Lin Yu opened the door, and sunlight shone across his face, bringing a smile to his lips. Yet his heart was shrouded in gloom, and his wary gaze remained fixed on the four maids around him.

“Yes!” The white butler left after replying. Then another servant dressed in the same manner stepped forward, remaining at Prime Minister Chao’s side and effectively keeping him under surveillance.

“Don’t worry, there isn’t any. It’s just that you failed to wipe something off your face.” Yang Chong casually brushed the cream from Dia’s cheek.
