Chapter 118: King Kong vs. Godzilla? (Second Update)

Hearing Shen He speak, Niu Qing was visibly stunned for a moment before hurriedly asking, "This island will disappear?"

When he had signed the non-disclosure agreement earlier, he only knew that his team was tasked with exploring a mysterious region. It was highly dangerous and considered an uncharted territory. Beyond that, he knew nothing else. However, his superiors had warned them more than once that they would be accompanied by an expert to assist in exploring this unknown area.

Roy Haynes was the primary hero responsible for enforcing New York's prohibition, and his strict crackdown had reduced the number of underground speakeasies in the city by fifty percent.

Being pointed at while already in a foul mood, the ace—fueled by alcohol—felt his negative emotions amplify significantly. Spurred by a sudden, reckless surge of rage, he snatched up a beer bottle, smashed it against the ground, and gripped the jagged shard, thrusting it directly at the other man.

If the Yao State could track things back to He Lingshan, they could naturally also track them to General Zhongwu. No matter how one looked at it, the General was a much more likely suspect than the Lord of the Island. He Chunhua only wanted to use A-Jin to repel the enemy. If he were to kill A-Jin and needlessly create a formidable foe for himself, what benefit would that bring?

"The priority is gathering intelligence. As long as we thoroughly scout the surrounding situation, our operation will go off without a hitch!" said Jin Lingyin's father. Seeing Zhong Hai agree, Bu Shiren could only watch helplessly as the officers took Zhang Tude away to the backyard.

To a gambler, encountering someone with such poor luck was like manna from heaven; it was practically a free win. Ron shrugged. Because his father was an avid art collector, he held a subtle aversion toward people in that circle.

Sui Sui took action. She lashed out with all her remaining tentacles at the entity, but even they were useless against something that lacked a physical form. After Zhang Tude returned to the car, the entity charged toward the vehicle as well.

"This was never your fault, do you understand? I don’t allow anyone to bully those under my protection, Wei Xiyue. It makes me look bad. I’ll go deal with him; you stay upstairs and don’t come down," Wei Xiyue said.

Grabbing the heavy carrier’s arm, she executed a 180-degree side throw, slamming the armored figure hard against the ground.

"Sister Xue, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Who is this Xue Qiugui from Shimenli Village? I don’t even know them; why would you want me to go there?" Dong'er was completely bewildered.

There were still many people nearby, but no one looked in Yu Liang's direction.

Lin Xi had just lulled Huizi to sleep and was leaning back against the soft sofa. Her gaze fell aimlessly on the coffee table as she sat motionless for a long time, her mind blank.

In less than ten minutes, the city was instantly reduced to ruins. Smoke billowed everywhere, and every building was destroyed.

"..." Although something felt wrong, Blake could not find any flaws in Prometheus's arrangements. He now regretted having used up his chance to ask a question so easily during the Trial of Light. The more faultless the other party appeared, the deeper his suspicions grew.

"You go to sleep first; I'll get your pajamas," Mu Ran said, helping Di Jingyu onto the bed. She removed his slippers and socks, but as for the rest, he would, of course, have to take them off himself.

This dealt a heavy blow to Mother Feng's enthusiasm, and the old woman ran to complain to Old Madam Li.

Indeed, Chu Xiangyan had just taken over the family business and had a mountain of tasks to attend to. Because of this, she had less time to meet up, and this "betrayal" naturally drew Luna's dissatisfaction.

Not long after arriving in the classroom, Zhao Yule, who had looked half-asleep, immediately perked up upon seeing her.

A black beam of light erupted from Baili Zhan's hands. The terrifying energy was unstoppable, as if it intended to devour everything in its path.

"I... I'm sorry, Young Master Jing, I really cannot bring myself to say those words." Becky was embarrassed to the extreme.
