Volume 1, Chapter 37: Turning the Little Milk Bun into a Puppet Doll

"Yes, yes, President Lin is truly President Lin," Director Sun quickly chimed in with a thumbs-up, though the movement pulled at the spot on his face where he had been punched, making him wince in pain.

In the dim light, Xiao Wen let out a long sigh. He withdrew from that mine tunnel, reached the main passage, and then headed toward another tunnel.

The Slave of the Darkspawn remained indifferent. Once majestic and awe-inspiring, it now appeared incredibly fragile before Chen Jing, the president of the Monster-Catching Society.

In addition to the current U.S. Army forces stationed in Japan, one of the three U.S. field armies will be dispatched to Japan, along with two independent armored brigades and two special operations groups.

Before he could finish his sentence, golden chains emerged from the ground. The surrounding space was filled with an aura that suppressed soul power. A barrier instantly encased Mo Bai, and those chains, possessing an irresistible force, shackled his body.

As for Wu Kai, he was terrified by the succession of paranormal events. He was at a loss, for the situation before him was too supernatural, too horrifying. Was this person standing before him, who could drive someone mad with a mere touch, perhaps a deity?

"Wait, the shop's damages have not yet been compensated. Shopkeeper, what is the extent of your losses?" Li Yu called out to Princess Ya and her group, who were about to leave, and asked the shopkeeper who had been standing by the side. The matter had yet to be resolved.

A sharp blade flashed from the White Fang Strange Edge, instantly repelling the three attackers with sheer force. Ye Nan-yi, meanwhile, did not even pause his stride, for he trusted that Bo Tai would surely be able to react in time.

"These four fallen soldiers, including Major Jessie, were naturally no exception. As their commanding officer, I presided over the funeral. The thunder was constant, and the lightning flashed repeatedly; even in daylight, it was a terrifying sight. Bolt after bolt of lightning tore straight down from the sky."

In the time it took to say these few words, those fifty men had already charged to within about a thousand meters of the prison. Knowing the enemy had sniper rifles, these skilled fighters realized that advancing any further would likely mean their deaths, so they hesitated. The Greedy Wolf system, even at a slow running pace, had already outpaced them by three or four hundred meters.

The deep blue sea lay before them, with wave after wave rolling in, creating crests of white foam. A cool sea breeze accompanied the sound of the crashing waves, while the warm sun poured down, making for an extremely pleasant scene.

"The ones leading those cowards are Black Kill, Wolf Fang, Zhang Qingshui, and Earth, is that acceptable?" No sooner had Old Duan finished speaking than Metal Uncle and Captain Duck-Bill raised their hands, clearly having something to say.

"Are you really willing to take us with you?" Tai Sui's question caused the eyes of these people to widen; their mud-stained faces showed nothing but surprise and delight.

Simplifying complex problems and making tangled human hearts transparent was not difficult for Wang Ping now. In fact, as long as he placed his half-skull head, still equipped with electromagnetic muscles, before anyone, even the most composed carbon-based sentient being would be thrown into a panic.

"Fear?" A trace of a nightmarish arc curled at the corners of Wei Feng's mouth. For a man who had already died once, a man who had personally experienced death, what else in this world could make him feel fear?

Many years later, when people recalled these two globally sensational auctions, they would talk with relish about what happened there. At the same time, these two auctions were hailed by industry insiders as the most successful of the century.

After regaining her composure, Qing Yue flashed into the space. Only after asking Yun Qi for the method of treatment did she emerge. She instructed Nan Qi to fetch water to bathe Nan Changqing.

Although no grievances had yet been formed, the grudge was set. Mourinho wanted to twist the knife in the hearts of the increasingly discouraged Gunners; his psychological warfare had failed, but now there was a prime opportunity, and he certainly did not want to miss it. He also understood that to establish a big-name image in the Premier League, one must defeat a giant.

If it weren't for the golden light ability weakening more than half of the damage, and the fact that it was not a creature of flesh and blood, it would likely have died once already.

Hody Jones felt a sudden jolt of alarm. The term "President" held far too much deterrent power for him.

Unable to secure a victory after a long battle, and worried about the safety of his spirit beast, Zhan Wuji refused to tangle further. With a cold word, he unleashed his ultimate technique, a supreme move that stunned the mortal world.

By the time Li Tong, Xia Yu, and the others arrived at the Killing Worship Platform, the entire ceremony had evolved into a festive celebration for the villagers. Many villagers spontaneously went on stage to perform, with the most popular activity being young men fighting—this was the villagers' favorite and the most common form of entertainment in the hunting zone.

"What is this? A menu?" The Grass-Clad Commoner asked with confusion. He had just taken it casually and placed his order without paying any attention to what he had actually been handed.

Upon hearing the words "brother-in-law," Chen Meng suddenly felt a resentful gaze flash across his back and vanish.

Under the experience of these two extremes, the chicken meat became incredibly tender and succulent, with golden juices dripping down into the pot.

Lin Fengyao was also somewhat surprised, but seeing this, she did not move to target the black dog again and instead activated her abilities to begin finishing off the bandits.

"Sect Leader Xiao, I have been in seclusion for quite a long time; I wonder what year it is now in the Heavenly Origin realm?" Being in a different world, time might differ. Ding Bu-er did not know how long he had been gone, so his first question was to ask about the time.

"Are you trying to... kill a god!?" Star-Hunter stared with shock at Lu Huaici, who appeared like a wild beast.

Yun Wuyou was stunned. This was the first time someone had called him "Old Bai," as his compound surname was Baiyun.

These soldiers were often the pillars of their families; successfully converting each one meant influencing the family behind him.

It was not that Bae Joo-hyun had never seen Son Seung-wan cry, but after so many years of being together, perhaps Son Seung-wan hid it very well, as she had only seen it twice.
