Chapter 179: Marat's Self-Doubt
Joseph was contemplating the best way to handle the situation with the three bankers when Count Capefelter spoke up with a sheepish grin:
"Your Highness, it's not just us. The Trade Credit Bank, Lavelle Bank, and a few others also seek your forgiveness..."
Marquis Ludo shot him a sharp glare, mentally cursing himself for bringing this fool along. If it weren't for Capefelter's family's significant influence in the banking guil...

Chapter 522: Lin Quan Misses Out, Spain Struggles to Win!
Before Spain's match, Croatia and Turkey kicked off their Group D battle.
In the very first minute, Croatia almost scored. Rakitic's volley brushed past the post, just missing the goal and narrowly avoiding a dream start for Croatia.
Turkey is not a weak team. Back in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, they made it to the semi-finals and finished in third place. Facing Croatia, their direct ...

Xiao Ze's words made both Xiao Xuan and Xun'er pause in surprise, but they did not immediately refute him. After all, when it comes to understanding flames, Xiao Ze, as a grandmaster alchemist, undoubtedly knows far more than they do. Perhaps Xiao Ze had materials prepared to cultivate other strange flames.
Without keeping them in suspense, Xiao Ze opened his palm and summoned the Origin Emperor Flame. The brilliant gold...

On this day, an extremely strange wave of energy emanated from the Desolate Hall, spreading throughout the entire Dao Sect and attracting the attention of many people. Deep within the Desolate Hall, there was an enormous mountain.
The mountain was a dull yellow, without any lush greenery, giving it a desolate appearance. A huge Dan River roared overhead.
