Volume 1, Chapter 28: After the Divorce, She Is Pregnant and Must Terminate the Pregnancy

The Director of the Marriage Bureau, upon learning of the Colonel’s imminent arrival, waited at the entrance in person and stepped forward to greet him the moment his aircraft appeared.

"I am unaware of the nature of your mission, Colonel, but our entire bureau stands ready to provide full cooperation."

Resde gave him a fleeting glance and headed straight inside. "Clear the female’s mark."

"Oh?" The Director was stunned. He had never heard of the Colonel being married or having any romantic interest in a female. However, this was not a matter for a minor official such as himself to question.

The Director personally escorted him to his office to wait, while Meng Yuan was taken to a smaller adjacent room—clearly a secretary's office. She had arrived with the Colonel, after all.

The Caribbean world: the backdrop of this realm and the origin of most of its events were centered on the high seas. Thus, the landing point was not chosen to be a place like Port Royal; it began directly on the ocean. This was not hard to imagine.

Returning home, Jonk hastily finished a meager dinner and began to practice the Profound Arts. He trained intensely for the entire night. For some reason, the incident involving Adriano had moved him deeply.

One brilliant maneuver after another left Liu Yan feeling humbled. This girl was far too ruthless; he feared that if he were to lay a finger on her in the future and his mother found out, his fate would be miserable.

Han Feng slowly closed his eyes, ceasing his gaze at the Starry Chess Array. He adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and circulated his internal spiritual power to wash away the discomfort throughout his body.

He did have some problems on his end, however. It seemed he would have to play for real in this King of Gamblers tournament; otherwise, there was no way he would win any money.

Jonk still held some fantasies about the Serie A league. Although it had been surpassed by La Liga and the Premier League, it remained one of the top three leagues. Achieving a hat-trick in his Serie A debut filled Jonk with a sense of pride.

Those who unlock soul power are able to control the phantoms born from within their souls. Such phantoms possess mysterious powers, as enigmatic as the soul itself.

"Haha, it was thanks to you that I was able to enter this academy. Usually, the guards don't let anyone into Bruno," the bearded man said, departing with a hearty laugh.

"I thank the Deputy Division Commander for his concern and guidance regarding our company. The issues that arose during the scheduling of training are entirely the responsibility of the three of us. I would like to offer my self-criticism first." Tian Yu stood up, bowed to Li Ke and Wang Wei, and then bowed to all the soldiers.

After Lin had left, Ji Zhuang placed the pot of magnolia back on the table, admiring its petals. Yet, as if she had performed long, strenuous labor, she finally slumped over the table and fell asleep.

Lin Guohua silently cursed his mother for giving birth to such a wicked creature as Lin Guoling, but he helplessly accompanied her and Ding Kai to complete all the enrollment procedures.

"Come, have a drink. Congratulations, Zhang Yulin; you are now a regimental commander directly under the theater command. Your future is surely limitless." As she spoke, Zheng Man picked up a red wine glass. Her fingers were long, clean, and beautiful—round and jade-like, without a single blemish. The sight made Zhang Tianhai’s heart flutter.

After speaking, Rolando hurriedly walked out of the Throne Room under the grateful gaze of Odysseus.

The sound of artillery in the vicinity grew more dense. The dazed expression on Zhao Hao’s face began to normalize, but as he recovered more of the memories in his mind, his expression grew increasingly unsightly.

As for Barcelona, apart from Iniesta, who was out due to injury, the rest of the players were the same starters from the first leg.

Up front, Zhu Peici turned around and handed the test papers and answer sheets to Lin Miao. Lin Miao pulled out his own, and without looking back, passed the remaining papers to the rear. Zhang Xueru tapped Lin Miao’s hand like someone with ADHD before taking the papers.

Just then, the flying thunder artillery units of the National Revolutionary Army finally completed their encirclement of Gangkou Town. With a series of deafening explosions, satchel charges began to soar toward the town.

Li Yunlong grabbed the large broadsword by his side and led the New First Regiment, charging headlong into the Japanese counter-attack that was now only a few dozen meters away.

"I’m twenty-four this year, single. How about you?" Zhang Tianhai grinned. He cherished these rare moments of leisure.

The moment he saw George’s mecha explode, Andrew felt his heart leap into his throat. Only when he discovered that the opponent had luckily escaped did he breathe a sigh of relief.

This was mainly because individuals like Hinata Nishiki and Uchiha Tsunenobu, upon becoming "Great Medicines," had fundamentally distinguished themselves from ordinary ninjas. They had seen a more incredible and vast world; their minds had been opened, their horizons broadened, and they possessed sharper insight and intuition.

Ever since Li Yunlong began leading troops, he had never lived a life of luxury. He was terrified of poverty and had never dreamed that his troops could possess such formidable firepower.

Could it be a ghost hidden in the night? Qi Bei felt uneasy, but with no tangible evidence, he could only keep his head down and continue walking.

Fu Qinghuan suppressed the anger smoldering in her heart. Watching his expression made her tremble with rage, but she had to endure it.

A large hand suddenly landed on Tieguai Li’s shoulder. Tieguai Li instinctively frowned and looked over.

As long as the Chu army did not arrive, these people could not stay indefinitely, or else Lingui City would be unable to bear the burden.

The Western Suburbs Great Rift Valley was once the largest mineral vein in Su City, but since mining ended, it had been abandoned for over twenty years.

The blood that should have poured downward strangely defied the pull of gravity, flowing backward and trickling into Ian's mouth and nose. The unconscious boy showed no sign of struggle or discomfort.

Shi Bao was originally a notorious bandit, but for some reason, he had suddenly transformed into an inspector.

Li Hanming nodded upon hearing this and glanced at the map nearby. Intelligence department strongholds had already been established in Huguang, Liangjiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, and Shaanxi. Once Li Kai headed to Liangguang and Fujian, he would be able to establish them there as well.

"It is a pleasure to meet you! I also admire your abilities! Would you mind introducing them?" Ling Yifei asked with a smile.

"Send off your old squad leader!" Bai Yuliang looked at this veteran, Fan Guojie, who was about to retire. He had over a decade of military service and had trained a large number of excellent soldiers. Ge Chao was the first generation of recruits trained by Fan Guojie.

A player’s critical damage is defaulted to double; for example, if a player originally does 10,000 damage, they can deal 20,000 upon triggering a critical hit.

"Received, I’ll be there at once!" Gui Mei, who was busy setting up tasks below, heard this and quickly scrambled onto the roof.

Perhaps only by distancing oneself from the noise and turmoil of the world can one obtain a moment of peace for the soul. It is no wonder that monks and Taoists enjoy practicing in deep, undisturbed mountains and forests.
