25 Father and Son Bathing Together
The elderly man in the green shirt feigned a sigh, his face etched with a touch of helplessness, as if he were the one suffering a loss.
The most shameless act was the Dongmei Group forcing major supermarkets to pull Star Company’s products from their shelves. This series of maneuvers caused Star Cosmetics, which had previously been selling like wildfire, to face a sudden stagnation in sales.
Among their cohort of students, Yue Peng could be considered a formidable character. Though he hadn’t been involved in many fights or brawls, he possessed a fearsome reputation.
"Enough, I know you don't do this for rewards, so consider it a gift from me, alright? Once the paperwork is done tomorrow, head over to Italy to take possession!" Li Yongle made the decision in one breath and hung up the phone.
Night descended. Qin Li and Scud were aboard their vessel, speeding across the sea toward the northern glaciers. As they pushed forward, the temperature plummeted, and thick white mist billowed from afar—a clear sign of the approaching glaciers.
He shook his head and glanced at the other person helplessly. He had woken up early today hoping to shake off Li Youyue, but to his surprise, Li Youyue, who had been tossing and turning all night, remained full of boundless energy.
The surroundings were filled with lush, green vegetation; even though it was winter, the landscape exuded a sense of vibrant vitality.
"But I do know you. Your name is Shi Qian, you specialize in thievery, and your nickname is 'Flea on the Drum,' right?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile.
"No! It has actually condensed that character of the Filthy Demon King!" The Seven-Corpse Emperor’s aged eyes brimmed with terror. He tried to pull back, only to watch in horror as the Living Dragon sneered and lashed its tail toward him.
"I’ll go tell Qingdi." Yu Lanting thought for a moment and pointed toward Chen Qingdi, who was busy in the kitchen.
Some disciples could not withstand the pressure and began to vomit blood repeatedly, as if they were nearing death. Even with the great powers attempting to suppress it, that overbearing aura still leaked out in abundance.
"But unfortunately, I happen to enjoy forcing people to do what they dislike. My stance is clear: if you don’t agree, I’ll kill your grandson," Lin Feng said, offering no pleasantries.
"Since the Master is unwilling to tell you, he must have his reasons. In that case, it is not my place to say more," the Divine General Yuling dared not defy the Master's decree.
Upon hearing the direct promise from Zhao Qiming, the head of the Zhao family, Tong Xiaoxia and Liu Erju became visibly excited.
Meiniang waved her hand, and the attendants behind her pulled back the curtains, revealing the pretty figure inside.
"Fine, then just pay me a protection fee of one billion every month," Lin Feng said casually.
Just as they were in shock, the messages in the online live stream chat exploded simultaneously.
Shao Jun told me that this was the moment Dongfang Ziyan cherished most. Because it was cherished, it was beautiful; because it was beautiful, it was fragile; and because it was fragile, there was a fear of losing it.
When Frank called Xi Bai, he hadn't thought much of it; he simply wanted to leave the best of everything to his apprentice from the bottom of his heart.
"On an uninhabited island outside Zhonghai City, they are wearing the defensive shields you provided, so they are unharmed. Some of your subordinates are there as well." Zhao Shiyan’s eyes flickered with bitterness, though her expression remained cold.
At two o'clock on the afternoon of October 7th, five incredibly stylish Porsches drove down the wide boulevard. The National Day holiday had officially come to an end.
Yu Chuchu hid in a corner, waiting until she saw Shen Mujian enter the cafe with a slightly angry look on his face before she turned out from another path.
She wasn't some ancient maiden who could marry upon reaching the age of hair-pinning or bear children as soon as she hit puberty. Her rule of no sex before eighteen would not change.
Yu Chuchu could show her face in the afternoon, but after that, she had to go pick up Yu Jiale. No grand occasion could compare to him.
Qi Anluo felt even more guilty and couldn't help but whisper, "I'm sorry, I didn't know he would do that." She felt somewhat awkward about Gu Xidong’s actions.
The moment Yu Xibai walked in, she drew everyone's attention. Every step she took pulled at their gazes.
Contented, she returned home, hurried into the bathroom, entered her spiritual space, and began to absorb the primordial yang.
Dai Ze glanced at the schedule, which was already packed for the next half month. A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes, a word stuck in his throat, but Lin Qing interrupted him just as he was about to speak.
However, as Shu Feng watched the magic crystal ball now, it didn't look like it was transmitting power at all. It looked more like it was controlling the Red Demon Giant Ape. The ape desperately wanted to break free from this restraint, but it could do nothing more than remain trapped within a purple shroud.
On the other side, faced with the group who were buzzing with excitement over defeating a strong team, Shikamaru appeared much more rational.
Shuiwuyue Chuan looked at the unidentified creature not far behind him with a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
It contained a very detailed introduction to the history and origins of the Alchemists, along with many famous figures. It also included a complete index of all medicinal herbs—or so it claimed. Yet, in such a vast world, who could truly know exactly how many kinds of herbs existed?
Among the stocks, one "junk" stock caught his eye, making him want to laugh out loud. It was none other than Blue Star Technology.
Mu Yu, sensing his warning, nodded submissively. Fearing that Xin Yihan might see through her, she didn't dare meet his eyes and whispered, "Brother Yihan, I'm leaving," before following Qin Jinhuan out of the private room.
From a strategic standpoint, the fundamental goal of the great ninja villages like Konoha and the Sand Village in attacking Qianye was not revenge, but to weaken them, as the strength demonstrated by Qianye and his allies was simply too great.
Liu Wanrong’s heart ached so much he nearly wept. He shook his head, looking at Military Advisor Ma with disappointment. Just then, he saw a large chest not far behind the advisor open quietly. A giant stepped out, clad in full armor and wielding a large axe, marching toward them.
"Do you want me to look for him?" Lin Qing’s eyes darkened; the mention of "your senior" stung her heart.
Sitting in the car downstairs, Wang Youcai reflected on what Hu Huiru had just told him and felt puzzled. What did she mean? Asking him to be responsible for his own profits and losses—but where was the settlement? Surely she wouldn't expect him to collect the sales revenue himself? If not, then what was the point of talking about profits and losses?
