Chapter 51: Unlocking a New Skill: Duplication

This yakuza war, destined to be recorded in Japanese history, ended as quickly as it had begun.

Before many people could even react, before its impact had time to spread, and while Cabinet officials were still drafting letters of warning, it was already over.

And the outcome took everyone completely by surprise.

The Nermigai Family had held an absolute advantage from the very beginning; no one doubted their victory, since the Fierce Ghosts were merely a faction of traitors who had broken away from them.

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, still failing to react to the misunderstanding. After all, the employees had not explained themselves clearly, and since he believed his relationship with Zhuang Yue was completely upright and aboveboard, he felt the innocent need no explanation and saw no reason to elaborate.

"Not everyone is as brilliantly minded and fiercely insightful as you, capable of seeing my potential," Lin Qingru said with a crescent-eyed smile.

"Just look at yourself, where is there even a shred of composure left about you?" He had truly been acting more and more unhinged lately.

"That's not really true. My boy won a hundred thousand in prize money in Kyoto just the other day," Li Fenfang laughed.

It turned out that Yu Chengzhu’s question was merely on the surface; her true intent was to find out whether the antidote was real, and to discover the true identity of the Medicine Man.

Did she really think that using the secret realm as a bargaining chip was a fair exchange? People capable of remodeling secret realms were a dime a dozen.

"Before that, let's just get along as friends. How does that sound?" Chen Ping'an looked at Lin Qingru, his attitude gentle and his voice soft.

After all, Jiang Yaoxiong felt he had already given her all the guarantees she needed. What more could she possibly want?

The spirit-awakening stage could not be interrupted under any circumstances, or all previous efforts would be wasted. At best, the awakening would fail; at worst, every meridian in the body would snap. The two of them had only been teasing Shen Hui earlier to help him relax his mind, not because they truly didn't care.

Murong Cai'er walked over quietly and found Chen Yi sleeping soundly. She squatted down beside him.

In short, its head was densely packed with intertwined black snakes, yet its body remained human in form, complete with a pair of fox tails.

To directly attack Chengdu or quietly go and pluck off Zhai Muzhi's head might be simple enough for Li Shentong, but he harbored a deep dread of a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Though the current imperial court still belonged to the Chu family, it was no different from belonging to the Zuo family.

Presently, Lin Xiao took the Dao of the Universe as his foundation, while all other laws—such as the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and others—were built up by filling in the details upon this bedrock.

The Central Plains was a fat piece of meat, and since the Nature Sect had never clashed with it before, some were inevitably tempted to test the waters.

The prerequisite was earning back those tens of millions first! Chen Ming in his past life indeed possessed a net worth of tens of millions, but he had never actually seen such a massive pile of cash all at once either.

PS: Still nothing tonight. The opening of the new plotline needs to be polished carefully; looking back at the past two days, it feels a bit too rough.

Earlier, while she was changing behind the screen, Shen Zhao had still averted his gaze toward the brazier in the room, only raising his eyes when he heard the sound of her footsteps as she walked out.

"But character is equally important; don't forget the lesson," Tang Bin's expression shifted slightly, though he did not argue back.

Han Ziyu, the chief of police standing nearby, sneered inwardly upon seeing Lin Xiaotian act so brazenly despite having six handguns pointed right at him.

Coughing lightly, Lin Zhenniang tried her utmost to explain in greater detail what an advertisement actually was. Yet, although her previous life was flooded with overwhelming advertisements every single day, how could she possibly define what an advertisement truly was at its core?

Lin Zhenniang lowered her eyelids and said nothing. Every word the matriarch spoke was considered absolute truth in this era, and if she wanted Ruyu to leave, it had to be done this way. However, coming from the modern era, such unquestionable dogma felt somewhat unbearable to her.

Qiao Nuon went home to pack her belongings for her upcoming work trip abroad, rested well for the entire night, and the next day met up with her three accompanying staff members—Luoluo, Zhang Da, and Liu Ming—along with Su Ziheng at the airport, boarding a flight bound for Paris, France together.
