More than a thousand figures stood silently on a mountain ridge, their bodies radiating surging soul power. Every breath they took seemed perfectly synchronized, as if they were a single entity.At the forefront of this vast formation, a tall, graceful figure came to a halt, her gaze sweeping across the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance, their peaks looming faintly through the clouds.This was Laura, Grand Legion Commander of the Second Courtyard Legion.The girl had an oval face with skin smooth as fine jade, glowing softly under the sunlight. Clad in a form-fitting black robe and trousers, she sported a neat bob haircut that framed her features.Her beauty was exceptional, rivaling even that of Lisa from the Dragon Blood Vein—and yet their auras could not have been more different. If Lisa exuded an air of noble arrogance, Laura carried herself with an icy detachment.No trace of emotion flickered across her oval face; it was as calm and placid as a still pond hidden in the dep

News that the contest for the position of Grand Legion Commander between Albert and Elvis had been moved up by a month quickly spread throughout the First Courtyard Legion, and even reached the ears of the other three legions, sparking a flurry of discussions.Everyone was somewhat astonished. True, Albert had firmly established his footing in the First Courtyard Legion over the past month and achieved remarkably impressive results in the Fiend Demon Cave, but his success owed more to the existence of the Fifth Squad. In the past, all the unruly members of the First Courtyard Legion had been assigned to the Fifth Squad—and unruly as they were, they each possessed a fair measure of strength, meaning the overall combat prowess of the Fifth Squad was by no means weak. Coupled with Albert’s mastery of the Nine-Turn Dragon’s Breath Soul Refining Technique, it was only then that the Fifth Squad was able to unleash such formidable power under his leadership.Once Albert was deprived of the F

Admittedly, they had originally intended to find some excuse to take this Nine-Star Light Elemental Soul under their wing.But now that Palama had spoken so plainly, it would really be inappropriate for them to poach the girl. After all, it was largely thanks to Palama that Emily had been able to use the Light Pool to resolve the issue with her Light Heart.Are you lot done yet? If you are, get out of my temple right now. Stop buzzing around like a bunch of flies, an impatient young woman’s voice suddenly rang out from behind them mid-conversation.Christie, Palama and the others turned around, and saw a woman sitting rather unceremoniously on the jade-white steps. She had a petite and delicate figure, with a fresh and pretty face like a girl next door—only her snow-white hair made her stand out distinctly.At that moment, she held a jade sugarcane in one hand, the other end in her mouth. She bit down with her pearly white teeth, then stared at the group before her with an impatient a

Albert nodded. The position of Chief Courtyard Master of the First Courtyard still belonged to his father. No matter which angle he looked at it from, he would never allow Kenton to get his way—after all… what was his father’s was ultimately his.Besides, Joseph is still in a severely injured state. His Divine Platform has yet to recover. The only reason he can currently maintain the combat power of a Four-Star God-Level powerhouse is that he relies on external objects to sustain it. Meanwhile, the other candidates vying for the new First Courtyard Master position are all around the Five-Star God-Level realm. On top of that, Joseph was never formally recognized as a member of our Dragon Fang Vein in the past. His participation in the election would thus be somewhat against the rules—these are his main disadvantages, Angel continued.Albert sighed when he heard this. If Uncle Joseph’s Divine Platform had not been destroyed back then, he would now be at least a Seven-Star God-Level powe

He chuckled and said to Albert, Given how fond the Vein Lord is of Captain Albert, I should think this would be nothing more than a trivial matter.That Kenton was truly as crafty as an old fox. He had not explicitly rejected Albert’s proposal, yet he had neatly passed the buck to Thomas.Albert, of course, could not possibly bother Thomas with such a petty issue in person. Not only would it make him seem incompetent, but if word got around, he would earn a reputation as someone who lacked the ability to get things done and relied solely on his status to pull strings.Albert’s expression remained calm as he suddenly said, I recall that when a Grand Legion Commander takes office, they have the authority to reset the resource allocation within the legion, do they not?A flicker of surprise crossed Kenton’s eyes. He smiled and replied, That rule does exist.However, the election for the First Courtyard Legion’s Grand Legion Commander is still two months away, is it not? If Captain Albert

Once upon a time, resources in the First Courtyard Legion were actually distributed evenly among all squads, with each squad receiving a 20% share.But after Elvis took charge of the First Squad, he increased its resource allocation by an extra 10%—all to win over the loyalty of his squad members and flaunt his own capability and tactics.In other words, the First Squad came to claim 30% of the monthly resources.The Second, Third, and Fourth Squads each retained their 20% share.As for the Fifth Squad—which hadn’t even managed to elect a captain back then—it became the sacrificial lamb, left with a mere 10%.Simply put, Elvis had directly swallowed up the Fifth Squad’s rightful portion of resources.The legionnaires of the Fifth Squad had long harbored grievances over this, yet they had no choice but to swallow their anger, cowed by the First Squad’s status as the vanguard unit and Elvis’s prominent position.But now... having learned the truth, Albert had no intention of enduring th

As Jared walked out of the consulting room clutching a stack of lab test requisitions, his mother hurried over, bombarding him with questions. What did the doctor say? How are you? Is it serious?Jared had initially hesitated to tell her the whole truth, but he knew she’d insist on seeing all the test results later—there was no hiding it. With a long face, he replied, The doctor said I most likely have gonorrhea and syphilis, along with some inflammation. He even didn’t rule out HIV...Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mire’s face drained of color in fear, and she took a few steps back instinctively.Thinking she’d been scared stiff and might lose her balance, Jared rushed forward to support her. To his shock, she waved her hands frantically and cried out in terror, Stay away from me! Don’t touch me! HIV is deadly—I haven’t lived long enough yet!Jared’s expression darkened. It finally dawned on him: his mother was afraid he’d infect her. She really was such a pragmatist.Sighing, he said,

In that split second, the Patriarch of the Hand family and every single member of the clan wore expressions of utter horror!The Patriarch stammered, Levi—are you saying the Eight Heavenly Kings were beaten to death?The Hand family members were reluctant to believe that the Eight Heavenly Kings had been killed by someone.Because if that were true, it would mean there was an extremely powerful enemy lurking in the shadows.Yet they had absolutely no clue who this enemy could be.No one in the Hand family, from top to bottom, believed that Alan—or anyone around him—had the strength to pull this off.Sanderson even speculated that perhaps the Eight Heavenly Kings had accidentally crossed paths with some reclusive martial arts master in the mountains during this trip.The Patriarch of the Hand family also thought this was very likely.He was overcome with grief at that moment. The Eight Heavenly Kings were not only his old friends, but also the backbone of the Hand family’s prosperity.

There were steamed abalone with glass noodles, braised abalone, abalone sashimi, abalone soup, and more.Thanks to the high-quality ingredients, every single dish was absolutely delicious.However, at the dinner table, Nora herself only had a bowl of plain egg noodles. She didn’t touch a single bite of the various abalone dishes.Tasha was a little surprised and asked her, Mom, why aren’t you eating the abalone? You slaved over making all this food—how come you won’t have even a bite?Nora was too embarrassed to tell the truth. How could she admit to her daughter that she couldn’t eat seafood because she had contracted various sexually transmitted diseases?So she just said, My stomach hasn’t been feeling well these past couple of days. I can’t eat seafood.Jared, who had just been deeply humiliated by Ivy, was still burning with rage. He shot her a glare and said coldly, You? Eat seafood? You don’t deserve it! What do you want to eat seafood for anyway? To nourish that bastard in you

As she spoke, Ivy put on the hat and twisted exaggeratedly on the balcony a few times.Her leg was still injured, but striking a few square-dance poses was hardly a challenge for her.That little shimmy of hers made Jared’s anger flare even hotter!At that moment, Jared was on the verge of a breakdown. He would have given anything to grab a rocket launcher and blow Ivy on the third-floor balcony to smithereens.Ivy, you damned shrew! Do you know what happens when you push me too far?!Ivy grinned and said, Your wife slept with another man and got knocked up—and that guy is still alive and kicking, isn’t he? What kind of comeuppance did he get? I’m just running my mouth. Nothing bad’s gonna happen to me! Hahahaha!Jared flew into a rage. Ivy! I’ll kill you sooner or later!Just as Jared’s veins bulged with fury, Ivy whipped off the green hat and hurled it forcefully. The hat fluttered through the air and headed straight for Jared’s head. He stumbled backward, and the hat plopped onto t

Though the distance was a bit far, he could clearly see that the twenty-odd fluttering objects hanging on Alan’s balcony were green hats of various styles and designs!Twenty green hats—what the hell was the meaning of this?!And they were pointed directly at his house. Wasn’t this obviously meant for him to see?Wasn’t this a blatant mockery of him for being cheated on by Nora?!Damn it! This was simply outrageous!Jared was so enraged that he was gasping for breath. His fists were clenched so tightly that his fingernails were digging into his palms.He didn’t need to think twice—there was only one person in the world despicable enough to pull off such a devilish stunt, and that was Ivy. No one else.In that split second, he wanted nothing more than to grab Ivy by the hair and slap her ugly face silly, again and again!With that thought, he spun around, rushed back inside, pulled on his pants and jacket, and stormed out of the building.Old Mrs. Mill was sitting in a wooden armchair

Claude’s helicopter immediately carried Alan, Mogos and Berger toward the city.As they neared Tomson Yipin, Alan said to Berger, Berger, I’ll bring my lawyer to Benel Pharmaceuticals tomorrow. Once we sign the contract, I’ll give you an excellent prescription for stomach ailments.Berger blurted out, Master Alan, I have sworn to pledge my lifelong allegiance to no one but you. You helped me take back Benel Pharmaceuticals—I am willing to hand over all the company’s shares to you, Master Alan!Alan waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, I already told you the other day—I’ll take 80% of Benel Pharmaceuticals, no more. But I’ll never agree to give you the prescription for anything less. The 20% I’m leaving you with will definitely not shortchange you, so don’t say anything about giving me all the shares again.A solemn look crossed Berger’s face. He quickly clasped his fists and said, Berger shall obey Master Alan’s instructions!Alan nodded, then turned to Mogos and Claude. When
