Chapter 54: No Casualties

"Yes, it's mine as well."

Seeing Shen Jize admit it, Lin Wei couldn't help but curse out loud, "This Ni Qingguo is truly despicable, daring to dig a trap like this. Those coal miners are every single one of them the main breadwinners of their families. Once a mine collapses, how many families are shattered? What are people supposed to do?"

"More than that, the incident at the mine happened too close in time to the stock market affair. Both of those belong to me."

As for anything further, there was no need to elaborate.

Lin Wei...

The Overlord Tripod smashed fiercely into the barrier of light. Xu Xuan's eyes were also fixed intently on the protective shield. The next moment, after striking it tirelessly for a long time, the sound that Xu Xuan had been longing for finally came. This time, the barrier finally shattered.

Fortunately, there were three Spirit Luo Fruits today. However, there were only three, meaning his chances were very slim. If he missed this opportunity, God knows how long he would have to wait.

Then, before the surveillance camera, Xi Chen placed his weapon on the ground and waved his hands at the camera to show that he was unarmed.

They would get injured, they would feel pain, and of course, they would die. Even more than ordinary people, they had to constantly worry about the awakening collapse that could descend upon them at any moment.

Amidst the idle chatter, Liu Chiyan's phone suddenly popped up with a video call request, dialed by Yeguang.

Surrounded entirely by water, he was actually going to die of thirst. Liu Qichao felt that there was nothing more ironic in this world. It wasn't that he hadn't tried drinking seawater to quench his thirst, but the moment he took a sip—before it even reached his stomach—Liu Qichao vomited it all out, retching so violently and dizzyingly as if he were about to cough up his own heart, lungs, and intestines.

They wanted to seize this opportunity to destroy the Japanese bacterial experimentation base, but they could not be too blind. If they acted blindly, it would only lead to inevitable and irreversible losses.

"No, this should just be an ordinary tiger. I'm afraid it really just suffers from albinism," Yunzi said.

Seeing Yeguang's parents, Yiyi was noticeably excited, but Liu Chiyan had already instructed her while they were still in the office not to expose her relationship with Yeguang, and to avoid being too affectionate when meeting his parents.

"Wrapped up so tightly, what could it possibly be?" Driven by curiosity and questions, Chu Ning stepped forward, tore open the transparent packing tape on the surface of the cardboard box, and opened it.

"I understand what you mean. I'll accept the flute so that the old master can have something to look at and remember the person by in the future, but under no circumstances can I accept this money. Besides, the children's expenses have already been taken care of," Liang Qianqian declined politely.

Lu Fan knelt by Liu Qingqiu's side, wailing loudly. Although he had a premonition beforehand, when the event actually unfolded right before his eyes, that heart-rending pain almost suffocated him.

On the bustling street, Wei Yiyang dragged his exhausted body around, still desperately searching. He had been looking for three full days and nights. Throughout these three days and nights, he neither ate nor drank, not relaxing his search for her for even a single moment. Yet, he still hadn't found a single shred of news about her. The longer he searched, the more panicked and desperate he became.

She truly lived up to her status as the old dowry-holder, granting her such a fine instrument, yet teaching her not some aloof and esoteric ancient melody, but the most widely sung Yuefu folk ballad of the current dynasty.

"Yes, these three silver notes belong to the same batch. It is recorded in the ledger that on the first day of the third month this year, someone brought in silver notes with a denomination of ten thousand taels and exchanged them for fifty notes of two hundred taels each," said a shopkeeper.

Following that, the first ferocious and clawing creature let out a cry, spitting a sharp bolt of lightning from its mouth. Qiongqi heard the sound coming from behind, and with the force of a thunderbolt, that lightning struck down upon the crown of its head. Staggering, it collapsed onto the ground.

"F***, you actually dare to fight back. I originally intended to leave you half your life, but now that you've angered me, you can only pray for your own luck." Thomas swung his iron fists in consecutive counterattacks. In an instant, they traded blows back and forth, making for a truly spectacular sight.
