Volume 1 Chapter 40: Tit for Tat

My first reaction was, where did he get a gun?

"What do you mean? Speak, what do you mean?" She flew into a rage, looking truly terrifying, as if she had been transported back to the past.

The Lone Wolf’s body swelled rapidly like a steamed bun soaked in water; his limbs, already thick, now resembled stone pillars, becoming incredibly rigid.

It appeared that these six warriors with purple dragon scales were now unleashing their ultimate strength, prepared to fight with everything they had for the dignity of the Dragon Clan.

"It is useless. Though your consciousness is strong, it is still far too weak to resist the power of the Demon!" At this moment, sensing the power of the Apocalypse Emperor, that demonic voice spoke once again.

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering how such a remark from Yang Du could have elicited such a lengthy response from Wang Zhenyu.

"I don't mind. Weren't you two already together?" An You blinked at me.

Hearing Tang Jian’s joke, the other captains and officers in the conference room burst into laughter. The gloomy and tragic atmosphere from before the meeting was swept away, and the mood in the room gradually began to lighten and liven up.

Steel Egg and Skyward Madman exchanged a glance. Skyward Madman winked at Steel Egg and asked, "Should we tell him that the flying sword and the century egg were thrown by us?"

Representing this group in the discussion were Xue Yue and Wei Lihuang, who were the three best performers during frontline combat operations. For this, the French even appointed the two of them as acting officers, commanding about a company of French troops to defend their positions.

When Tang Jian arrived at the armored unit’s station, he saw Zhang Zuolin directing several mechanics in performing pre-battle maintenance and routine inspections on fifteen tanks. Additionally, five "Spearhead" tanks were scheduled to arrive at Tsushima Island later that morning.

Gu Jin found a window seat, ordered an iced Americano, put on her headphones, and lowered her head to play on her phone.

Observing Han Sui’s retreating troops from a distance in the rear, Lu Bu saw nothing amiss. Thinking of Zhang Yan’s forces near Zheng County, he and Taishi Ci led their troops to give chase.

"No need to thank me; it is only right. Go! I believe in you!" Liu Ying gracefully smoothed her beautiful gown, sat beside Yue Xing, and took a sip of tea.

Although Grand Commandant Yang Ci had passed away, Lu Bu could not be certain whether the new head of the Yang family would let the matter slide. If the Yang family obstructed him and he still failed to absolve his crimes, he would be in trouble. If the mission remained unfulfilled and that bandit Dong Zhuo blamed him, he would not be willing to take the fall for such an injustice.

Following the general manager’s arrangements, a holographic projection of Zhuge Liang appeared beside everyone present.

If one ran, one might truly become food for the wild wolves; however, if one managed to kill the wolves, it was not necessarily certain who would end up as whose meal.

The moment the bullet struck, Bai Yu felt nothing; he only felt that his leg suddenly lost all strength and went completely numb.

Chen Sanye took a rough look; the retaining wall was at least seven or eight meters high. Moreover, it was perfectly vertical and smooth, offering absolutely no handholds for climbing.

"Young Master Lin, a pleasure. We’ll be desk-mates from now on; I look forward to your guidance!" Li Yujie said, looking at Lin Haoxuan.

I think that if it weren't for Xue Qi, my life would certainly not have been so twisted, bizarre, and complex.

Subsequently, Elder Yuan led the remaining youths to another tower, repeating the process of sending a few of them inside.
