Chapter 17

Even though the guards here had lessened in number, there were certainly still patrols. The guards had nowhere else to store him, so he was left to lie in the corridor.

She wanted to say yes, but as she grew quieter, such thoughts began to surface more frequently—thoughts that did not seem to belong to her own mind. Occasionally, a voice with a strange intonation would emerge, unfamiliar yet undeniably her own.

Longteng Corporation did have a finance department, but since they did not need to pay artificial intelligence a salary, wages were not a concern, nor was the cafeteria.

The Xerod army, fervently calling upon their gods for protection, fought with increasing courage, pushing the front lines steadily southward, placing the territorial forces at a growing disadvantage.

The medical team from Bayer Group poured tea for the Manchester United CEO, whose hairline was receding, and a few accompanying personnel.

She had long suspected that something must have happened at home, forcing them to treat her this way.

Director Zheng simultaneously issued orders for the special forces to prepare swiftly and storm into the dilapidated house.

Only when Su Chen and his allies had grown stronger could they afford to loosen their grip. They knew the greenhouse environment wasn’t entirely beneficial, but it was necessary for now.

“No,” Ye Rumo shook her head. Although this method saved time and effort, if everyone did it this way, wouldn’t An Ning miss out on earning points?

Even if the Xerod people offered gold coins, supplies, and slaves to settle disputes, they couldn’t agree to every condition.

Before even touching Ye Kuang’s body, a phoenix blast hurled him out of the arena, disqualifying him from continuing the fight.

"Damn it! That old professor was trying to harm us all along. It’s useless just giving us weapons, but now they’re actually helping the enemy! This lousy Emei stab—take it back and treat it like gold!" Jin Tianyi cursed loudly.

The demonic figure chuckled eerily and easily dodged. With a strange howl, dozens of black-clad men surged from all directions, surrounding the sisters Zidi and Cangyue.

Ye Meijing, clearly exhausted, nestled against Longteng's chest and fell asleep. Seeing that Longsi and the others were also listless from the desperate flight, Longteng knew disaster was imminent. Resolving to act decisively, he allowed each of them to rest.

He had been stuck at the quasi-Martial Saint level for ten years without the slightest breakthrough, unsure when he would finally ascend to the Martial Saint realm.

“This young man appears to be more than just a genius...” She stared intently at the flickering characters, her eyelids twitching in rhythm with their pulsations.

Zhu Ming stood by the lake, hands behind his back. Under the blood-red setting sun, the mountains and lakes of Liangshan Marsh were bathed in a crimson hue, exuding an endless grandeur.

However, a tier-three superpower could easily kill a tier-one superpower, which greatly elevated the status of tier-three fighters at the cosmic apex.

“Ah!” Two soldiers screamed in agony, their faces contorting as their bodies distorted and finally dissipated into white smoke before their companions’ eyes.

You can only watch helplessly as the stocks in your hand plummet in value, unable to sell because there’s no one to buy.

Night’s shade deepened. On the bustling streets, cars and people passed by. A gentle night breeze blew, and inexplicably, the prison fire phoenix caught a faint scent of blood.

Tao Qiquan brought several plastic surgeons to see her and sought medical treatment—this was how Dr. Sangya finally managed to find her.

At least for the time being, Lucifer would not realize his old enemy was in Hell. He could continue cooperating with Joseph to eliminate Nero and advance their next plan.

“This...!” Ziyun was momentarily stunned, unsure how to respond. She could only stay in Rome for half a day before flying directly to Hawaii to shoot a new MTV music video—a half-day she had arduously secured.

In 1995, Van Gaal led Ajax to win the Champions Cup, with wingers like Finidi George on the team. Over the years, Ajax also nurtured talents like Roy, Babangida, Van der Vaart, and Van der Meide.

The Iranian fans closest to the goal clutched their heads in anguish as silence once again fell over Azadi Stadium.

Suddenly, a clear, gentle voice laughed softly overhead, accompanied by light but rhythmic applause.

Later, she took a deep breath inwardly, though the tension in her shoulders betrayed her inner excitement. Abruptly turning, her peach blossom-shaped eyes raised slightly as she looked at Wei Feng with a fervor and exhilaration as if she had discovered a new world.

Nobuyoshi Ohno was reasonable, but his reason was to become the future head of the Ohno family. Under that premise, he was willing to devote effort to magnify the family’s legacy; otherwise, all reasoning was meaningless to him.

After seeing off the friends who brought great business, the reception at the manor concluded flawlessly. The butler Brandon was indispensable; without his prior training and strict planning, the event would have been chaotic. Instead, everything was handled methodically.

However, when facing his penalty-kick nemesis, Brazilian goalkeeper Diego Alves, Cristiano Ronaldo missed again, granting the opponent a new record: 22 penalty saves since joining La Liga, the most in the league’s history.

“After taking it, the body feels nothing in the short term, but...” Xinhu gave Qin Wuyan a cool, indifferent glance with a hint of arrogance.

At that moment, the Bald Wolf and Tang Zhong had already begun their fight. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, their fists collided fiercely, producing a sharp crack.
