He set down his wine glass and stomach powder, walked to the door, and checked the monitor. Seeing his assistant standing outside, he opened the door.Once the door opened, he looked at his assistant and asked, What is it so late at night?The assistant immediately held out a packet of medicine to him and said anxiously, President, a local pharmaceutical company in Plus City has suddenly launched a new stomach powder called Zhenyuan Stomach Powder. They have even hired Juliet, the most popular female celebrity in China right now, as their brand spokesperson. This product has sparked a nationwide buying frenzy!What?!Kobayashi Jiro frowned and said coldly, Chinese pharmaceutical companies actually dare to copy our flagship product from Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. This is utterly outrageous!As he spoke these words, it never once occurred to him that Kobayashi Stomach Powder itself was plagiarized from an ancient traditional Chinese medicinal formula.He took the Zhenyuan Stomach Powder,

When Alan heard her speak of the previous match, the images of her being repeatedly struck and injured by her opponent on the ring flashed through his mind, and a faint twinge of compassion stirred in his heart.He said earnestly, I think you performed excellently in your last match. There is one thing I don’t quite understand: why did you let your opponent land so many attacks on you? Your strength is actually superior to theirs. If you had launched firm counterattacks from the very beginning, you most likely would not have gotten hurt at all. Yet you kept giving them chances on purpose. Why is that?Ito Keiko said shyly, I mainly hoped to win with a single decisive strike back then. That is why I let my opponent attack me continuously in the early stage, waiting to find their flaw.Alan looked surprised. In a competition, winning is all that matters. Why must you insist on defeating your foe with one move?In Alan’s eyes, Keiko’s pursuit of a one-hit victory was vastly different fro

The shop owner said, Miss, we’re closing soon, and all our staff have finished work. We can’t make any more milk tea. I’m sorry.Very well. Ito Keiko nodded helplessly.Just then, she suddenly spotted Alan walking toward the right side of the main gate of Tomson Yipin. She quickly held her milk tea and rushed out of the shop.Alan had assumed Ito Keiko had already left, so he planned to go to the pharmacy to buy a box of liver-protecting tablets for his father-in-law, so he would have something to show for his errand back home.When he reached the pharmacy entrance, he noticed a huge poster hanging outside. On it was the stunning Juliet holding Zhenyuan Stomach Powder, alongside a slogan handwritten by herself:New Traditional Chinese Medicine, New Domestic Brand. I Trust Zhenyuan Stomach Powder!Her personal autograph was underneath the slogan.Alan stepped into the pharmacy, only to find several customers asking the sales assistant eagerly:Miss, I’d like a box of the Zhenyuan Stoma

Gilmore rubbed his eyes and let out a deep, long sigh. Oh… I don’t want your apology, kid. All I’ve ever wanted is your understanding.Mia nodded softly and sighed. I won’t meddle in your affairs from now on. I only hope you can handle all these relationships properly.For Mia now that she knew the whole story, she could no longer stop her father from seeing Ariana. Nevertheless, as Ava’s biological daughter, out of respect for her mother and their family of three, she could not openly support her father in pursuing Ariana.Thus, she believed the only thing she could do was stay out of her parents’ matters entirely.She would no longer involve herself in their past grievances or their present entanglements.Gilmore had never expected his daughter to stand firmly on his side. Her choosing not to interfere was already the best outcome he could have hoped for. Overjoyed, he said, Mia, thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much this means to me.Mia let out a quiet breath and s

Rest? No way, Gilmore said. I need to take a few photos with my phone and send them to your Aunt Ariana, to show her how great her taste is.With that, he immediately pulled out his phone.The moment he took it out, it started ringing. Gilmore muttered to himself, It’s Mia. Alan, don’t say anything silly. If Mia asks later, she mustn’t find out that I had dinner with your Aunt Ariana.Alan raised his right hand to cover half of his face. He truly had no idea how to respond to his foolish father-in-law.Gilmore pressed the answer button and said, Hello, Mia. Alan and I are on our way back already.From the back seat came Mia’s furious voice: Dad! You have truly disappointed me!Gilmore let out a startled yelp. His phone slipped from his grasp and fell into the gap between the seats.Ignoring the phone, he spun around and stared at Mia in terror. Mia??? How… how did you get in the car?!Mia asked angrily, Why wouldn’t I be here? If I hadn’t come along, I would never have known you’ve be

Alan nodded, drove Mia’s BMW out of the garage, and the two set off together for the Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant.When they arrived, they saw several elderly people chatting and laughing at the entrance. Gilmore and Ariana stood side by side. Gilmore was quite handsome among middle-aged and elderly men, and Ariana’s temperament and beauty were outstanding among women her age. The two looked extremely well-matched together.At that moment, they chatted harmoniously and naturally with the other elders.Ariana was holding a gift box in her hand — the exact same caviar skincare set that Alan had given to Mia and Ava.Seeing this, Mia felt uneasy. She turned to Alan and asked, Do you think my dad is cheating?Alan laughed helplessly. Honey, where did that come from? Dad and Aunt Ariana are old classmates and friends. They’re just attending a gathering together; it has nothing to do with infidelity.Mia said anxiously, But don’t forget they were once lovers! They were each other’s fi

Thurman smiled and replied, The various Ancient Academies are both rivals and allies to one another, so their ties are naturally close. On occasion, disciples from different academies even need to cooperate for special missions.A faint light flickered in Albert’s eyes as he smiled. Senior Thurman, do you know anything about the Sacred Light Ancient Academy in Central Divine Land? I have a very close friend who entered it not long ago. With her natural talent, she must have been admitted directly into its Starry Heaven Academy.Thurman was instantly astonished. Oh? Directly into the Starry Heaven Academy? Your friend must possess extraordinary, peerless aptitude.At that moment, Sweetie beside them suddenly looked thoughtful and spoke up. I have heard some news regarding the Sacred Light Ancient Academy. Word has it that several new disciples joined their Starry Heaven Academy this year, and one young woman among them has caused an enormous stir throughout the entire academy.Thurman

Isabel and the others saw Thurman and Sweetie land and suppress their soul power. Understanding Albert’s stance, they also dropped all hostilities. After all, there was no deep grudge between the two sides—their conflict had merely been a simple competition over Soul Gold Dew.Albert turned to Isabel and the others and asked, How much Soul Gold Dew have we gathered here in total?Isabel replied, We have harvested twenty drops of Soul Gold Dew altogether.After a moment of thought, Albert took out a jade bottle, tossed it to Thurman, and smiled. Twenty drops of Soul Gold Dew. We shall split them equally, ten for each side. What do you think, Senior Thurman?Albert had already amassed a large surplus of Soul Gold Dew from his haul in the Golden Hall earlier, so a mere ten drops was of little consequence to him.Thurman caught the jade bottle and sensed its contents briefly. Confirming ten drops of Soul Gold Dew inside, he spoke with a touch of embarrassment. Since Dragon Chief Albert ha

She felt a flicker of gratitude toward him, yet having always been sharp and hostile toward Barber, she could not bring herself to voice her thanks, and her tone remained stiff and cold.Barber paid it no mind. My golden armor protects me well. I am unharmed.Isabel muttered under her breath, and in the end said nothing more.Dale smiled and said, Third brother, you’ve arrived just in time. We discovered a cache of Soul Gold Dew here, and then they showed up. That is how the fight began.Albert nodded. He had already guessed as much.As they spoke, however, Sweetie’s gaze turned icy. She showed not the slightest hint of fear at Albert’s arrival. On the contrary, she raised her fiery jade ruler and pointed it at him challengingly.If I am not mistaken, you are Albert, the Dragon Chief of the Twentieth Legion of the Martin Supreme Clan of this generation. I wonder if your title is truly well-deserved.Albert smiled. What is it you wish?He had no intention of antagonizing the disciples

When they stopped to rest, Albert took the chance to refine some Soul Gold Dew into golden crystals with his Netherworld Soul Fire. Then he smiled warmly at Euphemia and said, Cousin Euphemia, hold out your hand. I have a treasure for you.Euphemia glanced at him in puzzlement, yet did not refuse. She simply smiled and extended her slender, fair hand.Taking liberties with your elder sister will get you punished, you know, she teased, twirling the Green Bamboo Serpent Staff in her other hand playfully.Albert pursed his lips and placed one golden crystal into her palm.Euphemia held the crystal up before her eyes curiously. She could sense an extremely pure power surging within it.The energy felt somewhat familiar, akin to Soul Gold Dew, yet far more refined and immaculate.Try absorbing it, Albert told her.Had anyone else handed her an unknown object to absorb, Euphemia would have merely smiled, pocketed it, and then struck them dead with her staff without hesitation.But when it c

Yet Euphemia merely stared at it coldly and said faintly, What is the point of playing dead? You wished to devour me, did you not? Come. I have come to you.Even after her words fell, the corrupted being remained completely motionless.Euphemia took a step forward. In the next instant, she suddenly swung her Green Bamboo Serpent Staff sharply toward her right. Venomous radiance surged forth, and a faint, delicate fragrance spread throughout the bamboo grove.The staff wreathed in toxic light struck a severed limb that had lunged violently toward her. Flesh on the limb seemed to wriggle incessantly.Euphemia unleashed her soul power and blasted the limb apart, scattering pale flesh and bone across the ground.Amid the burst of splattered gore, an imperceptible streak of black light suddenly shot straight for Euphemia’s glabella. It traveled at such blistering speed that even ordinary Elementary Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators would fail to detect it.However, when the black light was

The golden flaming arrow traveled at blistering speed. Even mighty warriors such as Tabor could only catch a glimpse of golden light streaking across the sky.By the time they regained their senses, the arrow—wreathed in raging golden flames and resembling a snarling golden fire dragon—had slammed violently into the blood-oozing skin visage.In that instant, golden fire engulfed everything, as if the entire heavens had been set ablaze.The skin visage let out a bloodcurdling shriek and was incinerated at an astonishing rate. The golden flaming arrow pierced straight through it, hurtling toward the Soul-Devouring True Devil behind it.The devil unleashed endless shrill wails, swinging forth its massive palm and conjuring countless shadowy figures in a futile attempt to block the arrow.Yet the golden-flamed projectile advanced with unstoppable momentum, effortlessly tearing apart all of the devil’s defenses. Finally, beneath the astonished gazes of all onlookers, it sank directly into
