Chapter 136 Confess Your Crimes

The Pierleone Mansion.

Leo lay back in the plush armchair, his eyes half-closed. Stephana held a razor, shaving Leo’s face with utmost concentration.

Nearby, Benedict stood holding a towel.

This figure, who usually commanded immense power and influence across the city of Rome, was currently waiting on Leo like a mere lackey.

"Swish..."

Throughout the courtyard, all the servants tiptoed around, terrified of making the slightest sound that might disturb him.

He could perceive the other's vague thoughts, and likewise, his own thoughts could be transmitted to the other party.

Upon hearing Xie Shu's words, Old Madame Xie was so enraged that she sat heavily in her chair, gasping for breath repeatedly. Madam Zheng hurried forward to stroke Old Madame Xie's back to help her soothe her breathing, simply because Xie Shu had failed to obey her as obediently as she usually did.

"Go to hell! Scumbag! What kind of woman do you take me for!" A soft sword at the waist undulated like a water dragon emerging from the depths, thrusting straight toward Qin Chen.

Not far away, the young people from nations such as Blue Rabbit and Red Fox—who had just tumbled out of the carriage with weak and trembling limbs—heard Ao Li's excited, chattering voice the moment they stepped down, nearly tumbling headfirst off the platform.

Whoosh! Their respective owners retrieved countless magical instruments and weapons, and the killing intent that had filled the sky dispersed like dark clouds, leaving once again a canopy of stars and a bright moon hanging in the open air.

Weary of the powdery, cosmetic scents of city life and the monotonous commercialization of towering skyscrapers, walking through a corner of such a beautiful ancient town brought a sense of mental ease like never before.

"Xing'er, there is no need to stand on ceremony between us. Whatever medicinal pills you desire, I shall simply have someone fetch them for you," Fu Lin said with a hearty laugh, looking with genuine fondness at his nephew, whose face was as fair and handsome as jade.

Whoever discovers it first and succeeds first gets to set the rules and laws, just as Newton established the law of universal gravitation and Einstein proposed the theory of relativity.

Amidst the darkness, sheer gauze brushed gently against the air, the bed frame gave a creaking groan, and a slender figure draped in translucent gauze sat down beside it.

By conducting the verification this way today, she had completely pushed the eldest branch of the Xie family right into the dangerous epicenter of public scrutiny.

Because another fleet of the Yaling race was being hunted down by the human fleet, fleeing in disarray through the void.

"Hehe, Young Master, let's make another deal. How about it?" Feng Fenghua blinked slightly, a flash of mischievous cunning quietly slipping through the amusement in the depths of her eyes.

Leaving the previous residential district behind, one entered a commercial zone. The architectural style here was comparatively retro, yet the materials used were sturdy, eco-friendly futuristic building materials. The structures were not tall, with the highest being merely five or six-story restaurants, while the majority of hovercars zipped along barely skimming the ground.

Villagers laughed and chatted merrily throughout the village, thick white wisps of cooking smoke curling upward from the kitchens of every household, drifting straight toward the sky to gradually merge with the white clouds above.

Having said this, Ye Guchen pulled Ruoxue into his arms with a somewhat emotional surge of feeling, thinking to himself that with him here, no one would ever be allowed to bully her.

However, just as Ruoxue shifted from a lying posture to a sitting one, perching herself right on top of Ye Guchen, he abruptly yanked her back down into his arms once more.

They had started out exchanging casual remarks, but by this point, they had fallen completely silent. With identical figures and nearly matched strides, if not for one having short hair and the other long, and their black and white running gear completely distinguishing them, one might have easily mistaken them for a pair of identical twins.

Bai Yu offered this remark; after all, it was merely his conjecture. Lacking precise information, he could not make a definitive judgment, though he could still discern the differences between northerners and southerners.

Uncle Zhang, the bearded uncle, and Lord Hammer not only cared for him deeply but also helped forge him into a true practitioner of ancient martial arts.

Now, Chai An'an suddenly felt a great deal of ease in her heart. Although Yang Luo treated her like an enemy, she was still grateful that Yang Luo had confessed to not having amnesia. At the same time, Yang Luo's capabilities made Chai An'an feel as though she had caught sight of a powerful, capable force lying dormant in the shadows, solely dedicated to keeping Lu Cheng safe.
