Chapter 71: You’ve Left Me No Choice

"The Long family’s assassination attempt has failed this time, and in the short term, they've already lost their grip on Jiang Province. We must seize this opportunity, strike while the iron is hot, and firmly establish the Jiang family’s absolute authority in the province!"

"Beyond gaining complete control over the surrounding cities, our influence must radiate throughout the entire province. We need every power within Jiang Province to submit to our Jiang family. Only then can we truly claim Jiang Province as our own..."

The clients were practically ecstatic, brimming with excitement, their spirits soaring with delight.

Shi Jingwei, styled Fengxin, was the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu Shi Jingtang. During the reign of the Deposed Emperor of Tang, he served as Commander of the Third Right Battalion of the Zhangsheng Army and Prefect of Changzhou. Upon hearing that Emperor Gaozu was raising an army in Taiyuan, he said to others, “Life ends in death—who can escape it? My elder brother is undertaking a great cause. I cannot cling to life and bring shame upon myself, only to be mocked by others.” With these words, he took his own life.

For an event like this, the organizers had been waiting with bated breath, longing for it as though counting every star and moon until finally, their wish had come true.

“Damn it, Brother Qin, they’re shooting at us!” Pumpkin said nervously.

The assigned identity was as the eldest son of Li Shimin! Ding—system detected that Li Mi is accompanied by his son Li Fan, who has just been born.

Esdeath subconsciously repeated the phrase, and then, like a proud peacock, burst into a delighted laugh.

Not only Ancestor Zhu Li, but many demon beasts also preferred to take human or half-human form. After all, their natural shapes were often strange and cumbersome, and everyone considered the others ugly.

“Bastard! What do you think you’re doing? Are you really going to stop me from leaving?” Chu Liang was visibly agitated.

Although she had no intention of interacting with the King of the Underworld, hearing these words from a third party gave them a different meaning.

Da Niu, having opened his soul, walked in the opposite direction straight toward him, pinning the DP down right in the center of the river.

Yet Yang Guo was unmoved. One sword stroke followed another, each faster and heavier than the last, like tempestuous waves crashing down.

He had reserved the most luxurious presidential suite. As long as one spent a certain amount at the casino hotel, the accommodation fee was completely waived. There were even people who lost tens of millions of dollars in a single night, yet stayed at the hotel for over a decade without ever being asked to leave; on the contrary, they were always treated as honored guests. In this city, reality was stark—money ruled all.

Xiao Zining gave a faint smile, his lips curling indifferently. Slowly, he produced a brocade box from his pocket and, before the assembled crowd, retrieved a seal from within.

Annoyed, Liu Yibin steeled himself: Since that’s the way it is, let’s see what tricks you can pull.

They once possessed the Three-Tails; the Fourth Mizukage was its Jinchuriki. But ever since his death, the Three-Tails vanished without a trace, and it still hasn’t been found.

Haruno Sakura didn’t know all the details, but she had a general idea—especially regarding the Hyuga clan, where the branch family members were marked with the so-called “Caged Bird” curse seal.

As for Shi Zhu, he really did go to the airport by car. The red banners were particularly conspicuous, circling around more than twenty newly built houses as he looked again and again. He wasn’t entirely sure, but he felt it just might work.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Mu mentioned wanting to install air conditioning, Black immediately agreed, probably hoping to shirk work under a legitimate excuse. He decided to check the prices right away.

The location of the twelfth Babel Tower was quite special. It was a thousand kilometers from the Shamanic Miracle, and a thousand kilometers from the Seven-Star Demon-Suppressing Tower in Huaxia. The three formed a triangle of geographical significance.

“Is that so? I don’t think so. The previous contract is void, and this project hasn’t been finalized yet. From what I’ve heard, more than one company is bidding for it.” Ma Shaobo shrugged.

Today, the group at this table was a fortuitous mix. I’d only expected a confrontation between Jiang Xin and Guo Ming due to their recent association, but unexpectedly, Guo Ming turned out to be Liu Qin’s ex-boyfriend. No doubt Liu Qin was not pleased either.
