"Who is it?" 098 was a bit excited.
"It's me," Ling Chunann said, "I'm definitely 100% confident in my own appeal, so as long as I ascend to the throne, I've completed the mission."
"…Host, please stop joking around." 098 was displeased.
Ling Chunann shrugged. "Okay, fine. It's actually Xiao Hongjing."
098: "…" Disbelieving. Not to mention Xiao Hongjing barely appeared in the story, his initial state in this world was enough for 098 to ru...

Although Xiao Hongjing had not appeared much in public before, he was very well-informed, which is why he was able to recognize Ling Chunann at first sight. Therefore, when Xiao Hongjing revealed someone's identity, Ling Chunann was not surprised and immediately grasped the key point, "What about their lineage, then?"
Xiao Hongjing hesitated, seemingly reluctant to answer, but seeing his beloved earnestly looking at him, he still provided the answer, "He is th...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqin couldn't help but stand up, sat back down after a while, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, glanced outside the door, and then took another sip of tea.
When Ling Chunann woke up, it was already late. Xiao Hongjing dallied for a while before telling him that Lu Zhiqin had arrived.
Refusing Xiao Hongjing's company, Ling Chunann went to the hall. Before he even entered, he sensed the presence of the shadow guards around, "Why are...

Chapter 80: Promise
Half a month ago, Kenda's first impression of Luo was arrogance, but now, ignoring his injured arms, he knelt on the rain-soaked ground, begging Luo for help.
This drastic change in impression, perhaps, is the demeanor one adopts in times of downfall, but it also shows enough sincerity.
However, Kenda didn't need to go to such lengths; a mere mention would have been enough for Luo to help out willingly. But for Kenda to request help in such a man...

The final day of the Yorknew auction was filled with drama, and the stage wasn't solely set for Barney and his crew. Multiple locations, including areas outside Yorknew City, witnessed a series of battles erupting one after another.
These dramas, fueled by grudges and vendettas, were like fireworks blooming in the night sky above Yorknew, painted with the lives and blood of those involved.

Being recognized wasn't something that necessitated concern; the real issue was the lack of confidence in defeating Luo, a task that seemed to fall squarely in the category of a fool’s errand.
Whether the aura was a façade crafted by Luo or not, once Luo posed a sufficient threat, Illumi wouldn't make a move without an assignment.
Had the task been to take Elly Geffel's life, the situation would have warranted a different discussion.

The man swinging the sword at Kenda, a bearded man, held in his right hand a scimitar with a startling curve. Exaggeratedly, the blade was so large it could be considered half a shield rather than a sword.
