Chapter 58: Bringing a Calamity Home

The man stood before the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, wearing a calm expression.

"It is not Monday yet. There is no need to rush into discussing the divorce with me."

"This isn't about the divorce." Having not seen him for several days, she asked uncertainly, "Are you... at the company?"

"I am."

"Then I'll come over to see you."

Song Nanyi hung up her phone.

She still had not figured out how to bring up the matter concerning the Lu family, nor whether it would provoke him or what might happen.

The car soon arrived at the Huo Group.

Perhaps it was only in moments of extreme excitement that the color of one's eyes would shift into a glazed gold?

Although it remained unknown who had donated the blood, the doctor was undeniably overjoyed that such a surgery had finally drawn to a successful close.

Perhaps because his tone at the time had been excessively earnest—pleading in a way that hardly seemed characteristic of Qiao Anming—Du Ruo found herself nodding as if under a spell.

Fortunately, she had the presence of mind to wear a mask and use a pseudonym when entering the competition. Otherwise... what would she have done if this sudden fame caused people to crowd around her the moment she stepped onto the street?

"Is that so!" Qinglan suddenly shouted in anger, waving his hand. Lu Bufan, standing beside him, was cleaved in two, a splatter of blood staining them both. The corpse collapsed limply onto the ground, presenting a terrifying sight.

Ji Tingyu's words left me somewhat shocked, as I had never heard him mention anything of the sort before. Could it be because of what he had said to Ye Hansheng in the private lounge just moments earlier? Or had Ye Hansheng said something to him after I walked out of the room?

Though it was a memory, at this moment, it did not feel like a simple dream. This time was more real than any other, as if I had truly returned to that era, sharing with them the same brimming curiosity and anticipation for everything that lay ahead.

The melody of the zither was at times gentle and lingering, at times soaring and uplifting, and occasionally turned sharply like winding mountain peaks and cascading waterfalls. As the brief opening tune concluded, the entire audience erupted into a wave of applause and continuous cheers.

Although Aman was insidious, it was glaringly obvious that her scheming nature fell far short, making it quite possible to coax some information out of her.

Judy's plan seemed to be to lure this disguised newcomer elsewhere to deal with them. The only uncertainty was how many operatives the Black Organization had, and whether they would follow the FBI's plan.

Feng Qiannuo nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Very well! Go and investigate it then!" No sooner had Feng Qiannuo finished discussing the matter than he headed straight to the Empress's palace. Because the eunuch reported that the Empress had regained consciousness, the Emperor was overjoyed and immediately hurried to her chambers. Upon seeing Feng Qiannuo arrive, Shu'er felt a pang of distress in her heart, grieving that she had failed to protect her child.

Everyone was struck with panic. They did not know what was happening, but they knew that if things continued this way, they would surely die.

His compassion had long since been exhausted in his previous lifetime. The sole belief that kept him going and sustained his will to live was to drive the Rune Beasts out of Earth with his own hands.

Indeed, his features bore a striking resemblance to his mother's, especially those eyes, which were an exact replica—like black jade, deep and dark. A single glance revealed a watery, azure clarity within them that pierced the heart with a sharp ache.

Ye Jinjan did not set foot in that room for the entire day, until the following day when the domestic helper in charge of the area came to inform him that the person locked inside needed her dressing changed. Only then did he instruct her to notify the doctor.

Finally pushed beyond his patience, he violently hurled the cigarette in his hand onto the ground and turned sharply away.

Gao Cheng looked around, seeing neither Officer Yumi nor Masumi Sera, the younger sister of Shuichi Akai.

Earth's powerhouses were equally astonished, realizing for the first time that the aliens of the Guisi Alliance were not only technologically advanced, but also possessed strength that was by no means inferior to their own.

Everyone in the inner court knew that the Empress had been doused with cold water and ordered to leave by the Emperor in Xianfei's palace. They also knew that the Empress's position was now hanging by a thread; having lost her child, she would sooner or later be deposed by the Emperor. Believing that even the Empress stepping forward personally had proved futile, they concluded that Xianfei was destined to be conferred the title of Empress in the future.
