The Prime Minister, whose earnest counsel had fallen on deaf ears, stormed out. Heath slowly emerged from behind the throne. The Emperor glanced down at her. "Have you come to persuade me too?" "No. For our Aston Royal Family, even if we dug up and destroyed every last Dragon Bone now, all the praise and the people's hearts would go to Ye Zheng anyway." "Hahaha—those old fools aren't even as sharp as you!" The Emperor laughed and clapped his hands, then his expression turned cold in an instant, his tone sinister. "The way I see it, they've already lost their loyalty to me. A pack of ungrateful wretches—everything they have was bestowed by me…" "I've received word that the Yu family has been trying to make contact with Roy. Heath, what are your thoughts?" Heath's heart lurched at the news, afraid her private dealings with Yu Tianming had been discovered. She could only respond in a vague, noncommittal manner. ...

Chapter 47 Three days later, February 10th — the sixth day of the game's second phase. A gray gecko clung to the wall of a rundown old apartment building, its four legs braced against the vertical surface, its flat head poking through a window. Its long, slender tail swept back and forth across the ground below, and before long, it slipped inside. "It got away again!" A group of people stood panting at the base of the building, staring helplessly upward — men and women, old and young alike. They had finally tracked down the gecko's daytime hideout, only to watch it wriggle into the dense cluster of apartment buildings, like a fish slipping from their grasp back into the ocean. Geckos had once been beneficial creatures, helping humans exterminate mosquitoes and insects. But Mutated Geckos were clearly unsatisfied with such a diet. With their agile bodies, they came and went freely in the night, effortlessly breaking into human dwellings, swallowing their prey in a...

Chapter 133 The Company You Can't Leave (XI) Zhu Ning's finger was on the trigger. Logically, she should have fired immediately. If Wang Qinqian truly was the Contamination Source, one shot and Zhu Ning could leave this cursed company. All she had to do was pull the trigger. But she hesitated. This was the first time she'd encountered a Contamination Source that actively wanted to die. Wang Qinqian was no longer human. Zhu Ning had arrived too late. While Wang Qinqian was still alive, there might have been a chance to save her—or she could have been handled like Lin Xiaofeng when she'd first fallen into contamination. Was she alive? Where was the line drawn? Could a Contamination Source be converted back into a human? Wang Qinqian's thinking was remarkably lucid. She knew full well that she was a Contaminant. Honestly, if not for her current state, Zhu Ning would have assumed she was a Non-Natural Human—like the insects she'd encountered in Desol...

Chapter 46 From the diagonal corner, Qin Zhen accepted Bai Shan and Lin Huijun's scrutiny with perfect composure. She returned a courteous smile — the very definition of a "nodding acquaintance." When Bai Shan had heard Qin Zhen's voice through the door, she was naturally surprised by the coincidence. Were they truly this fated, or was Qin Zhen deliberately tailing them? If the latter, Bai Shan felt she should have noticed. Qin Zhen had appeared before her yet again. Whatever the woman's motive, Bai Shan did not consider it a bad thing. She had had her eye on Qin Zhen's ability back in Qianxi Town and had even felt a twinge of regret that Qin Zhen had slipped away so quickly. So Bai Shan returned the smile. Lin Huijun's gaze was far more intense and direct. Arms folded, she assumed a wary, defensive posture. Not only had Qin Zhen surfaced once more, she appeared to be on intimate terms with someone from the Xu family. Lin Huijun simply could not ...

Chapter 132 The Company You Can't Leave (X) Once she clearly understood that the Contamination Zone's method was to induce suicide, the vortex in the sky actually stopped. It was as if it had met some form of psychic resistance—black thorns sprouted along the vortex's edges. That was how psychic suggestion worked. Once you found the logic, the fear disappeared. Zhu Ning felt her mind growing clearer as she spoke, like a dragonfly trapped in a spider's web that had finally found a way to break free. "Let's bring it back to you." Zhu Ning continued: "You came in last place in the performance review two weeks in a row. You were close to becoming a full employee but couldn't make the cut. The company kept denying you. For an entire year, you could only remain a probationary employee." Zhu Ning's voice was gentle, not the least bit aggressive. She was simply telling a story—as if it had once happened to her. "You finally earned ...

From a distance, Ye Zheng sat in the car and caught sight of Bai Muqing far ahead. She had made no effort to disguise her appearance—white to the point of translucence, utterly striking. Probably because of Bai Yi, every pair of eyes on the entire street was trained on her every move. If she weren't a powerful ability user, some hotheaded person might have rushed forward and done something rash. Suddenly, Ye Zheng glimpsed someone on the balcony of a building along the street, holding a bucket with a resentful expression, its contents unknown. Ye Zheng stepped out of the car and removed her hat. That face—known to every person in the nation—appeared under the sunlight. The person on the balcony panicked and hastily carried the bucket back inside. People on the street turned around one after another, gasping in astonishment. Cries of Ye Zheng's name rose and fell. Some even wept involuntarily. The accompanying Knights struggled to maintain order amid the crush, and no one q...

  Chapter 47: Flame in the Swamp 03 The continent of Orr had once been divided into three, occupied by three kingdoms respectively. After Eaton's destruction, Kenting and Spring carved up its territory between them. Spring stretching across the far north, Kenting entrenched in the southeast. The southwestern corner of the continent was a region of dense mountain forests that few people ventured into, dotted here and there with small towns and isolated tribes that stood apart from any kingdom, holding fast to their ancient customs and traditions. Palmer came from these mountains. The Esti Range lay at the continent's southernmost edge, bordered on the left by the southwestern highlands and on the right by Kenting's territory. Its peaks were steep and its trails nearly untrodden. Few knew that a small town lay hidden there, along with the last remnants of the other races. Kenting's railways had been joined to the old Eatonian tracks, and after years of patchwork repairs a...
