Chapter 55: Perhaps We Should Never Have Begun in the First Place

Seeing that she remained silent, Lou Xizhou raised a hand to tilt Tang Yu's chin, but Tang Yu turned her head and walked inside.
Watching her back as she retreated a few steps, Tang Yu suddenly stopped and looked back at him.
"President Lou, I don't want to be caught between you and your nephew. Perhaps, we should never have started at all."
Hearing her words, Lou Xizhou stepped forward to follow her in, but Tang Yu quickened her pace, clearly unwilling to speak with him.
Seeing this, Lou Xizhou did not pursue her further, but instead walked toward the courtyard.

Compared to the legendary deeds of immortals and Buddhas, this behavior gave the old man a jarring sense of incongruity, leaving him with the lingering feeling that Hero Li's identity as a deity was somewhat off.

He slowly turned around, terror in his eyes, his entire body trembling slightly, devoid of any vestige of a monarch's majesty.

Although nothing untoward was likely to happen, Cheng Yu still had to guard against the remote possibility that one of the siblings might break free from their ropes, or that they might disregard the threat Cheng Yu posed to them and focus solely on their current bound predicament, ripping off the tape on their mouths to start screaming for help and attracting the police.

Zhuang Yi turned his head to glance at Gulyayev and Dzhabrailov, weighing the situation in his mind for a moment. He concluded that even with the advantage of Cheng Yu's sneak attack, the ability to subdue these two men without causing them overly severe injuries—and to capture them alive—was indeed sufficient proof of Cheng Yu's extraordinary strength.

At the exact moment he was sent flying by the impact, a tremendous force seemed to burst forth from his back, tearing through his leather armor and his very torso, instantly killing this high-ranking hunter who possessed the capability to single-handedly battle lord-level fierce beasts.

Chang Ching-yu, the head of Taiwan's Government Information Office, personally issued an order to enforce a ban on three animated series produced by DreamWorks, and publicly stated in the media: depending on DreamWorks' future conduct, the possibility of banning their other works and the entire company remains reserved.

However, Bai Qi had already cast out the Ghost and Deity Seal. While the seal naturally suppressed ghostly and spectral entities, once a being had cultivated to the realm of Great Luo, even a ghost or deity had long since harmonized Yin and Yang, shedding their spectral nature. Consequently, the restrictive power of the Ghost and Deity Seal over them was significantly diminished.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Cheng Yu realized that a single project alone would not be enough to cause Wu Jing such deep concern. After all, over the many years the research institute had operated, countless projects had undoubtedly been abandoned, and Wu Jing had no reason to obsess over a project like this.

Jiulong felt utterly perplexed. Why did merely glancing at him make him seem so full of manly charm? Yet, upon a second thought, understanding dawned upon him.

Simply and directly, Cheng Yu informed Guan Lu that he had acquired twenty-two percent of the shares in the Peach Blossom Spring Club.

With that, she planted a ruthless kick squarely on Lady Li's stomach. Lady Li let out an "ouch" and began to groan continuously.

"This is not the time for reminiscing," Zhou Yu said with a cold snort, walking straight up to Lou Xin. "Speak! Why did you do this? Do you treat the lives of innocent people as a child's game?" Zhou Yu's words plunged Lou Xin into silence for a long while.

"Is it really that serious?" Mu Tianxiang found it somewhat amusing, wondering what on earth Huang Xi could have done to incur such disfavor from General Huo's faction. From her perspective, Huang Xi left early and returned late every day, pouring her heart and soul into medical skills; how could anyone possibly find fault with her?

"Do you have a picture of the child? Send one over." Tang Ling snapped back to reality and suddenly uttered those words. Even if he couldn't see the child in person, looking at a photograph would suffice.

"What are you spouting nonsense for? Where is that old bastard, Divine Wind? Tell him to come out! This lady can handle all of you with a single hand; do I need anyone else?" Sister Hua possessed an extremely volatile temper and pointed straight at Han Jiang's nose as she cursed.

Yet now, she was doing all of this so willingly for Tang Baiqian, maintaining a constant smile on her face without the slightest trace of reluctance.

Having failed to locate Qin Hao earlier, Liao Xin and his companions now sensed that something was amiss. Unless Qin Hao and the others remained in hiding indefinitely, the moment they showed themselves, the members of the Liao family would strike first.
