Chapter 119: Gathering to Conspire

After the regional governors arrived in the capital, their envoys were much the same. The first thing they did was summon their informants—both overt and covert—whom they had left behind in the city to gather intelligence on the court’s inner workings. Only someone like Jiang Zhen’an, who hurriedly became governor of Qingzhou, had not left spies in the capital.

From the information gathered by their agents...

“Well, my people just found out. After all, you temporarily belong to the opposing faction, so it’s not unreasonable to dig into your background, is it?” Levi said with a casual expression, delivering words that made the merchant’s heart race with fear.

Adal returned to the Storm Fortress, stationed in the Void Storm, along with the rest of the Naru. Piloting this mighty warship, he descended over Shadowmoon Valley, where it would serve as a floating fortress throughout the war.

Of course, these were future matters. When Mahe first climbed onto the rooftop, he saw Eren transformed into a colossal giant, roaring fiercely as he hurled a massive boulder from his shoulder at the nearby cave entrance.

As the dream unfolded, the protagonist began to gain a glimmer of understanding, though the veil shrouding the secrets remained intact. Perhaps, when the clouds part and the moon shines bright, a sudden glance back would reveal the ignorance of the past.

At that moment, he noticed Levi had somehow silently approached Eren, delivering a kick that silenced Eren’s roar, sending the words back down his throat and even knocking out one of his front teeth.

“Heh heh, no matter how cunning as a fox or sly as a devil, how could he possibly escape the grasp of us brothers?” the Sage of Refinement chuckled.

In the dimly lit room, the Third Generation smiled softly as he gently stroked Asma’s hair, bidding a final farewell.

Amidst the pleas, the soul of the Demon Lord’s consort was slowly peeled from her body, transforming into a glowing green orb.

Philip was much the same, though amid his anticipation, a fleeting thought crossed his mind: today’s lunch seemed to have come earlier than usual.

Only when a locust, weakened by thirst, exhaustion, and carelessness, lowers its guard and spends a long time drinking water, and if it happens to be extremely close to the lurking dragonfly, will the dragonfly attack.

Chu Si watched the madman. From the moment he followed Zhu Feng to meet her, he intended to kill her. She never expected he had broken free from Zhu Feng’s control to come on his own.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiangru looked at her, her eyes suddenly reddening, tears shimmering within them.

“I’ve actually always known you were with Master Shen,” Gu Xi said, no longer as warm as before, her words tinged with unfamiliarity.

Taking a step back, Ron weighed his bamboo spear thoughtfully, then leaned backward like an Olympic javelin thrower, gathering all his strength before launching it fiercely.

After speaking, he looked again at the child, as the fiery wheel mark on his forehead gradually vanished. Except for crying loudly at birth, he had been very quiet.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Nuo held Xu Ran’s hand, puzzled, unable to imagine what could upset her sister who they hadn’t seen for over four years.

Only then did Xu Nuo realize why she had been stunned upon seeing her—the wedding dress she wore.

The old lady saw clearly in her heart and ordered the two children to be taken away, then asked Wen Wanrong why she had come so early in the morning.

After removing her makeup backstage, Qiao Mu led Han Yingzi toward the parking lot, only to find it surrounded by fans flashing their phones. With difficulty and the help of staff and bodyguards, the two finally squeezed into the nanny van.

“...Why didn’t you tell me?” Qiao Mu now fully understood why Su Xuan, who usually dressed with such elegance, looked so haggard this time—they had long suffered domestic abuse.

“Truly impressive. No wonder that video of our quarrel has so many views!” Yi Ning whispered joyfully, her heart relieved that from now on, confronting Wang Ze would no longer be a source of negative emotions.
