Chapter 103: Manipulation Behind Closed Doors

Just as the referee was on the verge of collapse, President Zhao’s voice rang out.

“President Zhang, stop making things difficult for him. I personally instructed him to make this decision and handle the matter!”

“What?”

This time, everyone in the Northern Association of Traditional Medicine was utterly astonished.

…

After the timeout, Coach Hollander let Westbrook, Collison, and Mbah a Moute rest on the bench, while Chen Mo and Love led three substitutes onto the court.

The excited shouts and the golden light filling the gym moved Chen Mo as well, but he still forced himself to keep his gaze fixed on the snakehead at the very top, certain it had some hidden significance.

Outside the city, the Black Armored Azure Cloud Army was still unaware that Wang Shouren had been captured. But from the current situation, whether Wang Shouren was caught or not was of little importance to them. Even if he had been captured, what difference would it make?

From their conversation, it was easy to tell that although this place might not be the main base, it was certainly an outpost. And since a high-ranking leader was present, it might even be X himself.

It was precisely for these reasons that Zhang Tianna had considered transferring her household registration to Shenzhen. Last year, after much hard work, she passed an exam for a computer certification recognized for household registration transfers. At the start of this year, she finally obtained a company quota and officially moved to Shenzhen.

The previously depleted magic surged back with every breath, inexhaustible and overflowing. Even Dumbledore couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy at this boundless power.

Jennifer let out a long sigh. Her extended silence meant she was pondering how to explain everything.

No more jokes or lightheartedness remained. Having witnessed it all up close, the three now felt nothing but a surging murderous intent toward that abyss.

Since he said so, I saw no reason to refuse. We chatted idly for a while longer before I rose, bid farewell, and left the Guo residence.

A basketball appeared in Chen Mo’s hands. He didn’t question why he was being made to practice these fundamental dribbles first—after all, they were a routine part of his regular training.

Hearing his elder brother call him by his full name, Wang Di knew he was serious. He immediately followed Wang Qi into a corner.

The Misty Gorge returned to tranquility, shrouded in clouds and rosy mists, with waves and anglers enveloped in fog, resembling a celestial realm. The devotees, still immersed in the earlier vision, continued to prostrate and pray, hoping for a glimpse of the Celestial Spider Immortal.

The mountain bandits had constructed a fortress on the mountain, filled with defensive structures. A frontal assault was out of the question; Wang Qi planned a nighttime raid instead.

But now, with Wang Di voicing his opinion, it was clear he did not wish to relinquish his say within the Alliance. As Wang Qi’s younger brother, his views could not be ignored.

Unlike before, Tang Luoluo now spoke in a tone almost secretive and unknown, as if this was the only moment to do so.

Ling Qiu led Su Zhen to a secluded valley near Great Wild Goose City. The valley was tranquil and so well hidden that even with Ling Qiu guiding him, Su Zhen felt lost in a maze of clouds and mist, unsure of any path out.

Hearing the call, Su Zhen looked over and saw him sitting on a snowy mountain with Taishu Qianjue. They waved him over to join them.

The two brothers idled and chatted for a while, each eating some red fruit to sate their hunger, then began their cultivation. Now that Wang Di could operate the first level of the technique, he no longer needed Wang Qi’s instruction—only gradual progress to strengthen his inner power and prepare to unlock the next stage.

Ye Huan casually swung his sword. A terrifying arc of energy swept across the sky, making the Second Arbiter’s face change as he hastily retreated, but the sword light still caught him, making him spit out a mouthful of blood instantly.
