Meanwhile, the German leadership shrewdly played the media card, encouraging the Dutch government to protest to the Soviet Union regarding Soviet artillery shells landing within Dutch territory and causing casualties. Led by the United States, Western countries seized the opportunity to exert public pressure on the Soviet Union.

Although bewildered, the attendant, upon hearing the title "Your Highness," wisely chose to wait in silence.

For Du Rui, having weathered so many trials and tribulations, rises and falls, he had long grown accustomed to them. Moreover, he had never been particularly invested in fame and fortune. Even if the Emperor, for the sake of Tang’s stability, stripped him of his position, as long as he could witness Li Chengqian ascend the throne smoothly, he would not mind.

In 553 AD, Silla dispatched troops under the pretense of assisting Baekje, but instead launched an offensive against Baekje, ultimately annexing the entire Han River basin. Enraged by Silla’s betrayal, King Seong of Baekje retaliated the following year by attacking Silla’s western region, but was captured and executed by Silla.

Within moments, the anti-aircraft units surrounding the base opened fire, the thunderous roar of heavy anti-aircraft guns echoing like a storm.

"Return to the East Coast port of America with two atomic bombs? That would play right into the enemy’s hands!" The White House envoy shook his head emphatically.

After the dust settled from the S2 virus storm, the two countries most severely affected were Britain, which suffered primarily economic blows, and Japan, which endured both economic and demographic devastation.

Wu Jingniang’s words left Du Rui and Wu Meiniang stunned. Du Rui gazed at Wu Jingniang, uncertain whether her words were intentional or accidental.

These past few days had worn Li Yong out. As the highest local authority, even the smallest matters required his approval, including the formation of the Yiwu County government, which needed his instruction.

Jin Yeqiu shook his head with certainty. His memory was remarkable; he could recall the faces of everyone he had met for years. If not for his extraordinary memory, he would not have achieved his current level of medical expertise.

Compared to visiting Wang Yang, the tasks at hand could all be put aside for a while.

The hot spring manor and his own residence—when compared, it was better to bring this troublesome matter home after all.

…After distributing six consecutive test papers, the names Ning Tao and Zhi Dehai, speculated by the top students, still had not appeared.

As Yu Yun spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until she fell silent, her head bowed low, tears rolling down her cheeks and splattering onto the floor.

Zhao Bin took out his phone, snapped a photo of the screen, and sent it directly to Wang Hongfeng, confident that he would understand.

"That’s right, it’s exactly how I felt after obtaining these things. Do you think there will be any side effects?" Ning Tao smiled.

"Really? Brother Ji, you’ve truly forgiven me?" Guan Caiwei looked at Ji Yunyang with joy, her eyes shining brilliantly, filled with a unique light.

"Hold these blueprints for me. The floor is wet—I can’t just put them down here!" Yu Lili rolled her eyes in displeasure.

Seeing the vibrant green in his bowl, Fu Tingze felt that his sweet little world was slipping further and further away.

He heard them say the station manager had been waiting for Zhao Bin for some time, yet he himself was not mentioned, confirming that the station manager only wanted to see Zhao Bin.

"How did you get so much information?!" Qiao Jian gnawed on a large bone, muttering a question to Xie Cheng.

The ball moved rapidly up and down, repeatedly striking the floor, and all eyes in Chen Zhi Gymnasium once again focused on Geng Haoshi.

His partner’s powerful fists hammered down like torrential rain, relentless and wild; despite being engulfed by cold shadows, he continued to clutch the Fenrir wolf’s head tightly, refusing to loosen his grip.

"Mm." Du Dewei nodded, gesturing to the bartender and handing over fifteen thousand to Xie Cheng.

After four mechanisms were triggered, a massive lightning column appeared in the center of the Thunder Domain. An oval-shaped energy gate materialized.

Xi Chen remembered that Du Yuesheng had already left Shanghai and should be in Chongqing now. Was the Green Gang still here?

"Boss, you’re finally back. A foreign lady just arrived, asking for you by name," a member said.

Geng Haoshi was currently in his sophomore year, and he had spent most of his freshman year in the dormitory, so he had never actually been to the city center.

The two followed him inside, but Taiwei Yuan could not help but wonder. Now that the Elder Tower had exposed their secret base in Baiyu Capital, what would happen in the future if Lian Shanyan truly became king? How would he handle these Elder Tower factions that refused to obey?

In just a few days, Wang Shixian had mastered the "Nine-Word Mantra" with such skill that Song Jingzhou, who taught him the technique, was thoroughly satisfied. If not for Wang’s unique suitability, Song would have been reluctant to part with his unofficial protégé. What a pity! Song Jingzhou sighed softly.

Spirit plants are rare and intelligent beings among flora, the elite of their kind. Once they reach a certain stage of development, they gain the ability to flee and defend themselves, almost always guarded by protective beasts.

Watching him leave, Fu Qingmeng’s lips finally curved into a smile. She wasn’t feeling well, but it was not so bad that she couldn’t get out of bed.

It’s not hard to imagine that there must be a reason behind this incident, but now the real question is which one is the true cause? After all, this period still needs careful thought; what if something happens when the time comes?

Gradually, the intense heat emanating from Sidolan turned tangible, forming molten lava, which rose and created a storm. The temperature in the arena soared, and many passengers began sweating profusely.

The old man before them had sparse hair, patches of dead skin, a face blackened by time, holding a whisk in one hand and stroking his only beard with the other, appearing deep and unfathomable.

Yet even this lifeless skeleton radiated a faint white divine glow. No matter how many ages had passed since its death, powerful energy still swirled around it, as though guarding its immortality.
