Chapter 48: Queuing

Cheng Junbei was hesitant.

"What are you still hesitating for? The old lady's heart has already biased entirely toward the armpit; she definitely doesn't want to give us the money and is just saying that on purpose."

Zhang Mingyue rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and said as if she saw right through everything, "We finally have this opportunity now. Grabbing it to secure our official positions is the most important thing."

"Just think, once you secure your position, your benefits will improve in the future. You are so smart; sooner or later you'll become a section chief, and maybe even—"

Yet at this very moment, Gregory seemed startled by Grigory's aggressive arousal, stumbling backward in a near panic.

After all, whenever he had seen Liu Yifei in the past, the other party always wore a relaxed and smiling demeanor. Even when Liu previously spoke of "attacking Berianz," it had sounded to the Dark Grand Duke like the confident air of someone holding absolute victory in his grasp.

"Ugh... Ah... I can't sit here. I still need to go find Senior Sister Liu Yue. I promised her that I would protect her, I must protect her..." Relying on the obsession in his mind, he climbed up from the ground with trembling limbs, walking with such a swaying and unstable gait that one could not help but wonder if he would collapse at any second.

Horace used a familiar patrol captain and the price of five gold coins to ransom Hazel back.

It was precisely because all these circumstances had been taken into consideration that upon hearing Hans's words, Alice immediately turned around to go back and find Li Yi. Alice believed that even if they were to die, they should die together.

Was there really any need for the system to design such an exaggerated and mind-numbing "huge conspiracy" just to scare people for fun?

The invisible attack descended in an instant. Yue Lingyu, who had already thrown his punches and rushed to within a few feet of Yue Yuqing, was suddenly knocked backward into the air. A large mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, spattering onto the combat stage as his body was blown entirely off it.

After a brief farewell, Xiao Qingfeng and the other four directly drove their escape lights toward the north. With a casual wave of her hand, Li Yuxuan put away the high-hanging disk, and in an instant, the Star Fruit Tree radiated a supreme, boundless light that shot straight into the heavens. Instantly, the spiritual Qi boiled, as though scorched by an endless sea of fire.

Will was originally worried about Dora, but upon hearing what Lewis said, the stifled resentment in Will's heart welled up all at once, and even though he worried about Dora, he didn't utter a word to plead on her behalf.

That person had Wang Chonghan take two steps forward to stand behind him, then carefully felt along his back with his hands, patting him up, down, left, and right. While patting, he pressed his ear close to the back, seemingly listening for some subtle sound.

This sudden chilling draft scared Old Madam Ruan so much that she no longer dared to casually fabricate lies, and she could only report the whole truth honestly and dryly.

Jiang Leilei had been studying the piano since childhood and had already reached the tenth grade level, capable of rivaling professional pianists.

Xie Yanlai suddenly thought of another matter: completely ransacking the Beiping Party Affairs Investigation Branch. Don't you go thinking you can keep all this money for yourself. Even though everyone participating in the operation today is one of Xie Yanlai's men, walls have ears, and whatever needs to be handed upward must be handed upward.

Thinking of his future destiny, Gao Yunsheng helplessly closed his eyes, but could he perhaps launch a counterattack?

Ruan Qiu was watching the commotion when her name was suddenly brought up. She immediately raised her hand to show her stance.

"The robes the two of us wear are getting old recently. Why don't you get us both a new set of robes so we can go drink Manager Chen's wedding wine?"

Uttering these words, Ares subconsciously swept a glance at Lu Xiao's expression. Seeing no particular reaction from her, he found it somewhat difficult to gauge what she was thinking.

It was not yet time for genuine despair, and she did not wish to reveal her illness and cause Xu Ling excessive worry.

The moment his helmet was removed, 3355 retched uncomfortably. Evidently, the tube that had been inserted into his mouth was not particularly pleasant.

Whether she lived or died was something she no longer cared about very much. Under no circumstances could she yield to Lin Qian here.
