Chapter 100: A Sleepless Night

“Decree of Absolute Punishment?”

Leo held a piece of parchment in his hands, his eyes nearly narrowed to slits. Pope Alexander stared at Leo, uncertain of what he intended to do next. The Pope’s hand rested on the armrest of his throne, as if ready to flee at any moment.

“I thought you were unprepared, Your Holiness, but it seems you’ve been ready all along,” Leo said. “Pity you forgot to write my name on it.”

He approached a brazier.

“Brother Xuan, whatever I want, you have to get it for me too!” Dala, trailing behind, whispered after overhearing the conversation between Yun Xuan and Tantai Wan’er.

“Then I’ll count on both of you,” Zhan Long said, stepping leisurely into the room, heart brimming with joy as he awaited Ning Yue’s arrival.

“When you see them, you’ll think differently. Dayton’s hounds can hunt and kill malevolent spirits,” Fern said, eyes alert to their surroundings, ready for battle at any moment.

“Isn’t it a bit formal to say thank you to me?” Gu Huaiyan placed a hand on his shoulder and said.

The two of them arrived at a cold drinks shop, ordered two beverages, and then sat outside to rest.

“From what you say, you intend to become the head of the Smith family, don’t you?” Lin Yu remarked coolly.

In truth, Lin Hao’s protective stance was deliberately crafted to remind the sect leaders of the Beast Taming Sect: no matter whom they offend, never cross the disciples he had placed. It was a convenient gateway for his future quest to find the Dragon Bone.

Tang Luo smiled. Despite Bai Feifei’s cold tone and her threats over the phone, deep down she still believed in herself.

Sun Yingxiong had long heard that not only he, but another person as well, were lurking in the ghost domain under the supervision of Su Yang University. Seeing Hu Shun arrive, everything suddenly became clear.

“Opportunities don’t last forever, young man. She’s really quite beautiful. What’s her name?” Bernadine sighed, looking at the disobedient knight.

Amidst the crowd’s unified cheers, Lin Chen, clad in a white tailcoat, appeared slowly on stage via the elevator. His mere presence ignited the entire concert before he even spoke.

Thus, Higashitani Takahashi and Hoshinomiya Chie went to the massage room, which was adjacent to the bathhouse.

The attendant said no more, tidied up, and returned to the kitchen as if there were other preparations to be made. Sephiroth neither wished to ask nor hoped others would inquire.

Chiyo’s younger brother, Haie Fan, along with a One-Tail Jinchuriki, totaled three people,” Chen said simply.

In reality, aside from being unable to speak, he retained all his emotions, much as he had in life.

“Duan Lang, come out here, Duan Lang!” Nie Feng shouted angrily, slashing down the members of the Tianxia Society beside him.

At the time, it had been a casual act. Now, reflecting, that scene’s impact on ordinary people was indeed overwhelming.

“Please take care of me.” The first-place banner was firmly handed to Shen Ying. At the moment of crossing the finish line, Te Bei Zhou was certain it belonged to him.

He was now somewhat of a celebrity. Though no one knew his ID, his handsome face had already been seen by too many earlier, lest anyone later try to touch him.

“How can you be so cruel?” Lu Jiahua laughed bitterly, feeling the blood coursing through his veins turn unnaturally cold.

Whether it was due to the stringent protective measures or the poisoner hiding from the tightening security, the horse field remained calm with no unusual incidents during this period.

Among those present, only Ling Feng’s skills matched or even surpassed his.

Yan Qi impatiently waved her off. Bai Ran left the washroom without delay, and only after the door closed did Yan Qi suddenly remember.

But Chen Bo didn’t really care about these things. The current class stratification was firmly entrenched; the idea of someone suddenly becoming wealthy without cause was simply unrealistic.
