Chapter 72: Who is Supreme
Zhan Ling merely took a single step forward, and the majestic aura of an Earth Kun-realm powerhouse surged forth.
The overwhelming pressure forced Gan Kun flat onto the ground, feeling as though thousands of pounds were crushing his body, leaving him gasping for air.
At that moment, Gan Kun was seized with terror and dread.
Was this the true power of an Earth Kun-realm expert?
He was utterly incapable of any resistance, left with no choice but to await death!
Seeing this scene, Su Qing smiled.
If Jia He failed to recognize her own position in a situation like this, it would not be impossible for her to be eliminated by the entertainment industry. While perhaps not an immediate discard, a gradual phase-out was an absolute certainty.
With the military joining in and making a commotion, the supply crisis in the domestic retail tea market worsened even further, leaving citizens in many remote towns unable to purchase tea normally from the market.
"Several tens..." Yu Zonghao managed to suppress the urge to roll his eyes. If not for considerations regarding the other party's status, he would have felt a strong impulse to rebuke him.
After Lee Jun-hee hugged them one by one to say his goodbyes, he finally got into his car and left. As for whether he would have the chance to attend again, he did not dwell on it much; his ability to come this time was entirely due to Yoo Jae-suk, and another opportunity seemed unlikely.
If anyone else had spoken to Lee Soo-man in that manner, Lee Soo-man would have flown into a rage long ago. But Yoo Young-jin was different. Due to the upper-management power struggles within the company, Lee Soo-man had been forced to adopt a much lower profile at board meetings, and he was now anxious to demonstrate his capabilities to the shareholders.
However, the situation in the United States was different. While a film's box office revenue was naturally important, it was not the most critical factor. Historically, box office receipts for Western films accounted for sixty to seventy percent of total revenue, but that proportion had generally dropped to around fifty percent nowadays.
Two minutes later, more and more people arrived in the underground palace. The remaining members of the knight order arrived one after another, and on the demon faction's side, the three subordinates of the man with the saber, along with a lone wanderer, finally entered as well.
As for the remainder, they were temporarily "bestowed" or rather "borrowed" exclusive angel designations by the development team.
Even the kind-hearted Senior Sister Lanyu chose to remain silent. After all, her airheaded nature was not quite on par with Circle Nine's; at the very least, she could still tell the difference in combat power between the enemy and themselves at a glance.
Most of these people were vigorous young men, dressed in tight-fitting clothes and wielding weapons in their hands, ranging from short blades and long staves to red-tasseled spears.
It was not until Zhou Xu rummaged around for something and turned up a few photographs and a diary that he saw the name Jian Chenglin and learned about his mother's past.
Xia Yuxue had assumed Dexter's father would not let Dexter leave, but she had not expected him to be so straightforward.
"It's just the mansion building not far away. What? You're still thinking of going over to cause trouble for them?" Anding Qin replied and then countered with a question.
Qin Hao knocked on the door and called out as well, but still, no one answered. There were five rooms on the third floor of the villa, and he had no idea which one Chen Kun was staying in.
Outside Nanling Town, beneath the shade of the trees lining the road, quite a few commoners had set up roadside stalls, selling mountain produce, vegetables, and other goods.
She told herself to stop daydreaming; perhaps Ji Minchuan had not even noticed that she was not home.
Hua Nongyu uttered a silent inward complaint, maintained her final shred of grace and decorum, nodded in farewell, and slowly departed from the venue.
His heart was filled with helplessness and sorrow; life was simply like that—there were gains with every loss, and losses with every gain.
Ever since he had been publicly humiliated and stripped of his dignity by Guo Yufei and Zhong Shuo, Jia Haozhen had pondered deeply upon returning home and ultimately decided to approach matters from the standpoint of justice rather than relying on overwhelming pressure. Consequently, he no longer meddled in the selection of the yamen's chief constable.
"They are doing very well and are currently on their way back. I believe we will be able to see Your Majesty shortly." Eunuch Li had received the triumphant battle report sent back by their men early that morning.
