Volume One, Chapter 107: The Abduction

Montage felt his heart skip a beat.

Without hesitation, he rushed out of the room and immediately dialed Jiang Xiaorou’s number.

“Come to headquarters immediately!”

After sending her the message, he then called Zhang Ziliang, recounting the situation in detail.

“You mean Professor Zhang has been kidnapped?”

Natasha approached with excitement, but the golden gleam they had been hoping for in the box was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Zhao, the eternal iceberg, only melted for Shi Murong. If he ever showed more emotion, Ye Jiutian would think he had lost his mind.

Liu He and the others nodded in agreement. People like them, who were constantly online, would notice even the slightest change, let alone such a hot topic.

Based on the information provided by the King of Jin, they had hurried to Lingxiao City. But to their surprise, they were met with such an awkward situation the moment they disembarked. The three of them quickly covered their arms against the biting wind and snow, rushing toward the clothing store.

Qiu Tingqi was no fool. After rising for a while, he failed to receive any mental signals from his men on shore at the expected distance. This clearly proved that the lake’s restrictions had once again taken effect. To avoid detection, he immediately sank again and concealed himself among the nearby aquatic plants.

Seeing Mu Ge’s carefree demeanor, Old Master Zhao finally felt at ease. This world was just like that: those with an open heart always saw light and beauty, while the narrow-minded saw darkness and ugliness. Old Master Zhao believed that with Mu Ge’s strong heart, he could go far, very far.

For the Chinese team, this match was a life-or-death battle. Since they were trailing Iran by two points before the game, a draw or a loss meant elimination. The only way to advance to South Africa was to defeat Iran outright.

“Is that meant as a compliment?” Feng Yufei tilted his head, a faint smile blossoming across his delicate features, causing anyone who saw it to involuntarily curve their lips in return.

“Damn it!” Bai Yu shuddered all over. This time he had come close to death—someone had installed such a powerful explosive device in Longbang Tower.

Or rather, it was precisely because of Mu Xin’s presence and death that she was completely changed. Had it been otherwise, she might have been as troublesome as Dr. Liu Chuan to the very end.

Carrying the memories of the battleground, Shi Kai wasted no time and resumed his journey westward.

He Yan’s words stirred something within He Yan’s heart, and a bold thought suddenly emerged: perhaps that call was just an accident, this incident merely a coincidence. Fu Shenxing might not even be aware of Chen Heguo’s identity or her cooperation with the Chen family. Maybe she could quietly rescue Chen Heguo without attracting attention.

However, in recent years, the emperor’s tolerance for the Yelü clan had waned considerably, along with his trust in the crown prince. Meanwhile, the second prince was gaining favor—a troubling sign indeed.

If the nutritional powder truly had a problem, that would be a severe issue; the best course of action, of course, would be to report it to the authorities.

“Bah! Come or not, I don’t care. Don’t ask me for pocket money again!” I turned on my heel and headed toward the large cavern in the cliff.

“They’ve created a strong magnetic field to prevent the fine needles from approaching their bodies!” Wang Zeliang immediately understood Xuanyuan Ci’s intention.

“Teacher, I know you’re trying to comfort me, but rest assured I am not blinded by hatred. I understand that to exact revenge, one must first possess greater strength,” Chen Luo said, surprisingly calm.

Lin Huihui slowly lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled softly. “See? If you’d said that earlier, I wouldn’t have been so upset.” Gu Honggu ji.

The force was so great that a bright red imprint of fingers appeared on that handsome face, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his lips.

“There will be such a time,” Chen Luo said, bidding farewell to Yan Zhen. He then escorted Wu Xiangyu and Yan Yingying into the grand hall of a spatial teleportation array, waving goodbye to his two beloved confidantes.

Gu Xi roared furiously, pushing Huangfu Lan aside. He concentrated all his residual power and struck the spatial barrier again and again, until his energy was completely exhausted and he collapsed.

“Everyone, please be seated. Let’s eat while we discuss,” Zhang Taixu greeted everyone, introducing the plan for the evening as he ate.

She had come to detest white above all colors. Seeing a youth clad in white immediately made her think of a fox spirit, which made her feel uneasy and involuntarily darken her expression.

The figure of the young man from the nightmare once again imprinted itself in Su Li’s mind. Unlike before, this time Su Li remained fully conscious, which startled him greatly.

The black oil was driven by the current, continuously flowing through the gaps between the boats downstream.

Juyar sprinted at full speed in invisibility. Hearing the roar behind him, his heart suddenly jumped. He glanced back. Damn it! Lin Feng was chasing after him. How was that possible?

“But...” Although she understood the logic, Murong Qiufeng still couldn’t bear to leave Murong Nian in danger. Today, he had only suffered superficial wounds; next time, it might not be so simple.

Just as Mo Wanliaverted her gaze, Beimo Jing happened to shift his eyes to her. Seeing her enter the carriage, his expression darkened. He urged the horse forward, ordering the troop to move out.

Not far from the dark zone, level 20 fishmen would spawn. It took just over twenty minutes to bring them to the dark zone, leaving forty minutes to utilize. Fishmen’s attributes were far stronger than players of the same level, and the fishman leader’s abilities were even more formidable.

“Kill!” Lin Feng shouted loudly. When the enemy was less than five meters away, he launched his assault. With a casual swing of his necromancer’s dagger, he immediately slit the throats of two monsters. Blood gushed out as they collapsed to the ground.

As the earth gate opened, the lamps on the lower walls were exposed to air, igniting one after another with a crackling sound, illuminating the long stone staircase.

Turning back slowly, it was Counselor Su Yanan, still wearing a worried expression but offering encouragement. That was enough.

Shen Suixin and Lu Shiyu left hand in hand. Their original purpose for the evening was not merely dining, and with the seventh princess stirring trouble, Shen Suixin had even less appetite.

Unable to find the passage to the Lava Abyss, Chi Fengyu was unconcerned; his only worry was for Long Fei’s safety.
