Chapter 52: Guarding Against Thieves

Dongdu Imperial Mansion.
When they arrived downstairs, Fu Luoning went to the trunk to get the luggage, while Gu Linzhou followed her out and looked into the building's lobby. "I'll help you carry it up."
"No need," Fu Luoning flatly refused. "You should just head back."
"You really treat me just like a driver," Gu Linzhou complained, sounding displeased. "You made me drive all the way here and won't even let me up for a sip of water."
Knowing he would pull this kind of trick, Fu Luoning waved to the security guard on duty behind the glass door.
"That is only natural. Once you cast aside those stray thoughts, you can become my best chefs. Rest assured, as long as you accept my spiritual power, I guarantee I will grant you eternal life," Rotis cajoled earnestly.
"You're just jealous that they didn't carry you!" Xiao Peng laughed heartily as he climbed onto that carrying pole. Two young indigenous men directly hoisted Xiao Peng up, and the group marched imposingly into the rainforest.
It was still that same dilapidated building, except instead of the sound of turning pages, there were the intense sounds of flesh colliding against flesh, along with heavy thuds as bodies slammed into the paint-peeled walls. The force was so great that one could even feel the ceiling vibrating.
Elder Huang's lips moved again, but in the end, he said nothing. However, one could tell from his expression that doing this seemed highly unusual.
After a few breaths, Bwanga and Basturu, among others, appeared before Amedi.
If not for the status of these two individuals, the things they had done would have been enough to get them killed countless times over. Yet here they were, acting as if they were so formidable.
This meant that if he were to fight others, his attack execution time would be drastically reduced—shortened by even more than half compared to before.
However, his fatal resolve was not realized. A segmented kagune flew toward the rabbit, forcing the rabbit to abandon Amon and dodge the blow.
The anticipated pain did not arrive. Sharan opened her eyes, only to discover in astonishment that the two black tentacles of Siroke had once again pierced Su Yang's right arm and left thigh.
He was still imagining how they would handle this matter and even thinking about hiring a lawyer, when lo and behold, they arrived, completely ignored Xiao Peng and the other person, and headed straight for Charlotte. No one knew what was said to Charlotte, but in the end, they handed her a check and had all the injured players taken away.
The Dao seed hummed, and a surge of brute force passed straight through the electric net, knocking Ah Hei to the ground, unable to struggle back up.
Guo Tianming nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right. This issue is my biggest concern."
Just as Jia Chi was about to question Lu Lun, before he could even bestow his power upon Mu Xiao and the others in his seven-member group, everyone sensed a powerful beastly aura rushing in from the east.
Although spatial laws could be used in this region, they were unable to break through that seemingly nonexistent barrier of light.
Lei Li suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, saying, "Right, right! If you hadn't reminded me, I really would have had the intent to kill!" In fact, Lei Li had no intention of killing the Wind Emperor; he had long considered his connection to Feng Long, and speaking like that now was merely to frighten the Wind Emperor.
At this moment, Jia Lianqing's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He suddenly realized that the development of events probably exceeded everyone's expectations.
"I have an informant inside the gendarmerie, and I want to use him to secretly investigate what Qi Baishan is up to so we can make the appropriate preparations," Old Second Qi brought out his last resort; the Japanese were not easy to offend, but were the bandits of Xianlai Peak and the Anti-Japanese United Army scattered across the Northeast so easy to offend either?
When he was studying under Lan Mengyao, he had driven the latter to a bitter smile, and Lan Mengyao straight up called Yifeng a big fool.
What was even more infuriating was that, clearly knowing the function of that token when her third uncle handed it to him, he actually refused to take it! It was the first time Ling雅 had ever been so unwanted in front of a man, which made her deeply resentful.
