Volume 1, Chapter 22: She Was Merely a Maid Kept to Handle Others

I had better leave it behind; the tendency to dwell on memories through objects is all too common. With that thought, I grabbed the secret savings hidden beneath my pillow, picked up my suitcase, and rushed out the door.

No more rotations—that was the first thing on everyone’s mind once the management fee was increased. Who would choose to rotate when they could earn several times more? Furthermore, those with the means would bring in even more people, the sooner the better.

Feng Qi is the strongest young prodigy among the Spirit Beast clan in recent years. His strength is undeniably superior to the other young talents; perhaps only he could defeat Zhu Sha in the current arena.

No one dared to block his path. Regardless of where he was headed, people stopped in their tracks, turned around, and followed him quietly, desperate to understand what was going on.

Since he sensed that Lan Lianxia enjoyed it, he not only refrained from stopping but became even more brazen, sliding his hand into her body and mimicking the rhythm of intimacy.

"There is no need for you to know these things. I went to A-Kui at the time, and I have nothing more to say," Zhang Youze’s voice replied.

Worst of all were their grenades. Dropped from their high vantage point, at least sixty percent of the hundred-odd fallen imperial warriors had died by them.

Yan Poxi was his mistress; he tolerated her every whim and would endure anything, even being cuckolded. But the moment he realized she threatened his brothers, he killed her without a second of hesitation. That is the essence of "loyalty"—a code that men of the underworld live by. But I digress; let us return to the story.

The maid leaned forward slightly, almost knocking the abalone off the plate, her face pale with fright.

"Sister Han, please don't be too heartbroken. The dead cannot return to life. You must restrain your grief. If Jiaming could see you from the afterlife, he would not want to see you become like this," the proprietress of the cash register said to Han Chunhong, her voice trembling with caution.

"Understood!" Lu Shan nodded vigorously. Despite his age, he had heard whispers of the power struggles among the upper echelons, but he never imagined such drastic measures would be taken for his younger brother. His heart was filled with nothing but gratitude and being deeply moved.

After Shura spoke, he did not wait for Zhunti to finish his words. He stood up straight and flew directly toward Zhunti, who was at the highest level. His flight was like an arrow released from a bow, never once brushing against the stairs.

But when everyone met up that night, they were deeply disappointed. They had scouted all five dog-breeding facilities in Changzhou City, and none showed anything suspicious. The reports from Lin Hai were the same; the hundreds of men from the Brotherhood had searched everywhere but found no suspicious persons or information.

"I still can't compare to you. I can't even afford a building like this yet!" Jin Yong looked at the luxuriously decorated building, then at the various high-end amenities below, and could not help but sigh with envy.

Heiyue and Xisa had endured years of near-torture under Sala’s brutal training. Though it looked painful, their agility seemed hardly diminished. Miraculously, Xisa and Yizhi were also able to adapt and endure it.

Ye Xin was a clever person and immediately withdrew her magical energy. Deprived of her support, the water dragon instantly collapsed into a puddle.

With their plan set, Lu Ya and Yuan Tao transformed into two streaks of light and, in the blink of an eye, infiltrated the Shang army's camp.

"If it continues to develop this way, it won't be long before the heart of the Linqing region lives up to its name!" Xiao Han looked at the city, truly born from a barren wasteland, and felt an immense sense of pride.

Of course, all of the above were merely the sudden, wild imaginings of the Black Bear Spirit. He knew that the West Sea Dragon King had likely come to seek revenge for him pulling out the tendons of the Green Dragon Prince. Yet, the Black Bear Spirit thought to himself, surely a mere West Sea Dragon King could not be a match for him?

The mother who had given him life and raised him suddenly felt so distant, and her malicious actions were completely beyond his comprehension.

Zhang Chen investigated privately and discovered that the plot of land actually belonged to Xinghai Real Estate. It seemed Zu Fenghai and the general manager of the Unicom branch had long ago reached an agreement. As for the decision to build the signal tower next to Jingcheng Residences, it was merely a trap Zu Fenghai had set for him—a trap he was forced to step into, despite his better judgment.

The G Group had paid the price, and they were also fully sponsoring the upcoming television drama. Meanwhile, D Agency exposed a more attractive celebrity scandal to shift the public's focus, and it proved effective.

Even if he won the first two times, what did it matter? Jian Yishen’s momentum was too strong now; surely, it was his turn to win.

Although Park Yinhui was dead, the Samsung Group managed to survive because of its numerous intergalactic subsidiaries, and it even extended its reach into the territorial disputes of the Running Wolf Empire.

"This is the feather of Maat, the goddess of justice and order. Step onto the other scale! If you can pass the final test, you may enter the pyramid behind me," the Jackal God transmitted into his mind.

The space housing the testing platform was already very close to the sarcophagus, and even closer to the "inner ring" where the twelve leaders resided. Seeing that Lu Qi had "died," the twelve "spheres of light" were clearly relieved. All that remained was to send Lu Qi in.

Although the methods used to achieve victory were not particularly glorious from a historical perspective, the sooner the war ended, the sooner the people of the Running Wolf Empire could live in peace and happiness.

After lunch, the two of them turned into ridiculous tour guides. Their dramatic haggling while buying lingerie and the eyesore of their fashion show after changing clothes made it difficult for the production team to even edit the footage. No one expected them to change so much after a single meal, and the fans were initially unable to accept it.
