Chapter 42: The Man-Eating Tiger Case (12)

Duan Yuxuan instantly became emotional: "Captain Zhou, he is my trusted subordinate, how could I ever wish to harm or retaliate against him? You can ask my secretary and everyone in the office just how much I cherish and value Zhang Han!"

Chang Nian also nodded in agreement: "In our company, Zhang Han was the person Chairman Duan trusted most!"

Tears welled up in Duan Yuxuan's eyes as well: "I saw online reports saying he was mauled to death by a tiger—how could this happen? Captain Zhou, you must catch the murderer! Whatever you need us to do, I—"

Hu Li shook her head slightly. She was speaking the truth, and she had neither the reason nor the energy to deceive anyone anymore.

His swordsmanship was characterized by launching the most venomous and lethal attacks under the seemingly passive and defensive guise of neither attacking nor engaging.

When I reached the doorway of the hospital room, the door was half-open. Lu Xudong sat by the bedside with his back to the entrance, spooning food into Guo Yuqing's mouth one bite at a time.

Fortunately, Xiang Ningxuan had led his team there in time. If the temple had been truly completed, relying on its amplification, the two snake gods could have increased their projected power by at least double. By then, it wouldn't have been a one-sided thrashing, but a direct execution of Xiang Ningxuan.

The big-headed ghost had virtually no arms, yet it made a beckoning gesture. Luo Yuanchen instantly felt himself lose all control, his entire body lunging forward toward it.

The past six years had been a hellish darkness for Daywalkers and humanity alike, but for Nightwalkers, especially the Kindred, it was a golden age.

As Lü Ziqiang spoke, he was already stuffing the old dog into a plastic bag. The old dog could still move, but it obediently accepted being handled.

Ye Ye had wanted to say something else, but before she could open her mouth, she felt someone beside her stand up.

After reading it, Yakumo Yukari stood frozen in place like a wooden stake, completely motionless.

He consciously or unconsciously covered the receiver, as if desperately afraid that any sound leaking from it might be heard by Gu Xixi.

"Before I start this gamble, leave the casino, and immediately depart Beijing with Hu Jiuxin and Qiu Chaoyue. Escape as far away as possible. Go wherever you want." Xu Feng's abrupt change of topic made the spade ace slip right out of my hand.

The barbarian forces on the city walls abandoned their favorable position and scrambled down the scaling ladders, naturally pursued every step of the way by the defending garrison. Chen Gui looked down from the battlements as the barbarian soldiers retreated like a tide, weighed down by the terrifying siege engines that had so unnerved the defenders.

The "Ring of Toxic Punishment" was already Numeria's desperate trump card. The reason it forced back the Gold-tier Claudia wasn't truly because it possessed enough power or means to genuinely harm a Gold-tier Holy Warrior. Simply put, "poison" was the nemesis of "fungi"; it would injure the death "seeds" lurking within the [Plague Robe].

Many people were discussing what could possibly be the cause of such a transformation, as there had never been any precedent for such sudden and drastic changes before.

The bullet broke free from the barrel, flying forward at a speed invisible to the naked eye. In an instant, it reached its target, piercing straight through Long Wanhe's glabella.

That sworn brother picked up a pre-prepared rope and sack, went up to bind Tan Daguo tightly, and stuffed him into the bag.

Facing such stubbornness from Daixiao, how should he present himself? Should he be reckless and heedless like Zuo Linfan, or gracefully let go like Mo Qinghan to win Daixiao's guilt?

As Shen Jiahua spoke, she glanced at Liang Yimo, the implication crystal clear: no matter what had transpired between Ye Chen and Liang Yimo in the past, she was ultimately nothing more than her own substitute.

With those words, the formation abruptly shifted. Instantly, demonic energy surged, transforming into rolling black waves that directly crushed down upon us. At the same time, the four heavenly demons moved in unison, unleashing immense pressure from all directions that left Ji Ya and me in severe distress.

"Stop arguing, don't fight over me. Xiru, I just want to see Ao, I just want to see if he's all right? Just like Xiujie said, I am Ao's wife, and I have the right to go in. Step aside," Shimin said.
