Chapter 59: Pretending
As long as his mother's condition remained unconfirmed, the police could do nothing to them. Whenever pressed further, she would simply faint, turning what should have been a normal discharge after a day or two into an extended hospital stay that persisted to this day.
Of course, some people worried that returning home would be less safe than staying in the hospital where doctors were readily available, but most people disliked lingering in hospitals and would check out as soon as the doctor gave the green light.
Yet Third Aunt Xie was in fine health and recovering quite well; stubbornly, she refused to be discharged simply to evade the consequences.
"Brother Long, if our family members can be rescued, we will do whatever you ask. We would die without regrets," another procurement agent immediately declared, raising his head.
The crackling sound of flames burning rang out incessantly, springing up in all directions and scorching the earth, casting a bit of light into the dark night.
"Yitian, now that you have stepped inside, do not bother leaving." In the empty void, the massive figure of the Thunder Shark Emperor was revealed.
The roaring sound of chariots grew louder and louder. Those behemoths were gradually coming into view before them—their colossal frames and ferocious gun barrels propelled by oversized treads, advancing toward this side with an unstoppable momentum.
Even if the Myriad Swords Manor chose not to act, plenty of people eager to curry favor with them would naturally step forward, killing her to win the Manor's favor. If she were to remain in the Qian family residence indefinitely, she might end up bringing disaster upon them instead.
After telling everyone to wrap up for the day, Su Yue returned to the accommodation arranged for him by the program crew and immediately logged into several forums and online communities to check the reviews for the newly broadcast show.
Yu Heng stepped out of the secret chamber, and the next moment, he arrived before a garden where another bamboo house stood quietly.
During this process, the fierce hostility within his heart gradually erupted. At the same time, he gained a deeper comprehension of his martial arts. His murderous intent boiled over, blending with his surging vitality and blood, propelling his overall capability up another tier in just a few short days.
The northern wind blew bitterly, stinging people's faces with a bone-chilling pain, but no one paid any attention to it. Everyone was single-mindedly racing against the impending snowfall to cover all these fields.
"What? You're saying Brother Long has come to my factory? No way!" The boss immediately became excited.
Sensing the murderous intent in Chen Ping'an's eyes, Duan Fei immediately delivered a heavy slap across the face of Lu Dashan, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Qiu Ling? It's you!" Upon seeing Qiu Ling, Wu Kong could not help taking a step backward, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes.
The Vermilion Bird Gate served practically as the entrance to the inner palace and was naturally a vital location, heavily guarded by troops.
As he spoke, Nami suddenly walked out of the house, facing the opposite direction of the tangerine grove, her bright eyes fixed intently on the ground ahead.
Black Tiger Park glared angrily at Luffy, and with his fierce appearance at the moment, he truly bore a striking resemblance to a tyrant of the mountains.
Zhang Jingtian immediately ran to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of boiling water and drank it down in one gulp, then squeezed two glasses of bayberry juice—one for himself and one for Lan Fenfen.
As a martial arts master, he naturally knew just how formidable Ye Tao truly was, because even he would find it difficult to defeat a black bear with a single strike. Yet Ye Tao had accomplished it, a feat that could not help but shock anyone.
When Qu Changheng drove up and arrived, Shen Xinyun was already fully prepared, waiting for him in the chilly morning breeze.
Will's stamina was also extraordinary. Amidst a continuous series of high-intensity evasive counterattacks, he was not even panting heavily. Having dealt with the B-rank threat on his hands, he wasted no time rushing over to White Chinese Cabbage's direction to resume the attack.
As the eyes of the Den Den Mushi slowly closed, Luffy's performance for the entire world finally came to a complete end.
The First Madam was surprised; Liu Qianqiu had never spoken such soft words before, yet today she had actually backed down.
The Silver Snake hurriedly increased his strength, gripping the dagger tightly, and stabbed twice more in succession at Chen Feng's right palm in an attempt to pierce it through.
The Black Dragon Dynasty was nothing compared to the Totem Clan; as long as the Totem Clan wished it, they could annihilate the Black Dragon Dynasty at any time.
