"Senator Cleveland!" The lieutenant governor enthusiastically and quickly went to greet him, extending his hand from a distance. The man he called "Senator Cleveland," who was actually Congressman and Senator Jeffrey Cleveland, stood his ground and extended his right hand. As the lieutenant governor rapidly approached and extended his own hand, the two men's hands clasped together firmly. "I didn't expect so many of you to come. I hope we didn't keep you waiting long." Senator Cleveland looked…-

Sub-bureau Chief Bruce sat at his desk, feeling a bit awkward. Just a few seconds ago, the handwriting identification expert had refused his invitation. "Looks like you weren't successful," Lance said, crossing his legs and lighting a cigarette. His gaze made Sub-bureau Chief Bruce feel embarrassed, and also a little ashamed and annoyed. A so-called police consultant was not a particularly impressive role; he was an external staff member. If this external staff member were someone like Lance,…

“Old man, this is Ace, the youngest scholar in our city-state. Have you heard of Logic Book (Volume One)?” Daina interjected. “I don’t know, I don’t know. You outsiders cannot stay in our village. Go quickly, go quickly!” Ace's eyes suddenly glowed with a complex rune structure. He sincerely took the Silver Thales, slipped it into the old man’s hand, and said, “Old Village Chief, the two of us do not look like bad people. The wilderness is so terrifying, and there are Monsters.…-

Ace smiled and returned Daina’s salute, saying, “Hello, Lesser Wizard Apprentice Daina. I am the Torch-Bearer, Ace.” Daina, in her Monster Hunter attire, was all smiles. She hung her shield on her back and slid her short sword into the leather sheath. Her leather boots clicked as she entered Ace’s house. Inside the living room, Daina hung her sword and shield on the wall. Ace waved the servants away. Daina lowered her voice, speaking with both excitement and respect: “Mr. Ace, I never…

Noon. The sun was high, and the autumn air was clear and crisp. Bayen woke up, clutching his aching head. I am getting old. My body and spirit are no match for young people. He habitually felt his white beard, then suddenly realized half of it was gone. The bizarre scene from last night echoed in his mind. A strange book, inscribed with dense straight lines forming a complex, dizzying, unknown pattern, lay quietly beside him. Looking closer, the book only had the hexagram on the cover…

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, now 51, had only one thought as he reviewed the Austro-Hungarian troops stationed in the Sarajevo suburbs. This was a sluggish, outdated, and insular army. While seemingly massive in size, it was, in reality, unwieldy and inefficient. The backwardness was not only in weaponry and tactical doctrine. More fatally, this multi-ethnic army lacked a single common language for internal communication. In some units, there were even cases where soldiers could not understand…-

“This version was a redesign I did after listening to your suggestion last time, Boss.” Helga picked up the prototype gun with the bottom-inserted magazine and handed it to Morin. “I thought carefully about the center of gravity shift issue you mentioned last time, and it definitely exists... so I made this new design. I wanted to see how the practical effect would be.” Morin took the gun, weighed it, and performed a few aiming drills. Helga truly inherited her family's excellent…

A few days later, the news about the destruction of 'The Black Hand' chapter settled down like a pebble dropped into a lake. The headlines on the newspapers were once again dominated by news like 'His Imperial Majesty Attends Naval Ship Launch Ceremony' and 'Massive Workers' Strike Breaks Out in the Gallic Republic.' It was as if the minor unrest in the Balkan Peninsula had never happened. But Morin knew that the undercurrents beneath the surface were only growing stronger because of it. He…

Long after Qin Haoxuan and Xing had left, the anger on the Seventh Prince's face finally showed. "Bastards! So what if there are immortals? All under heaven is the king's land; all within its shores are the king's subjects. Even immortals are just servants of our royal family. And now these slaves dare to step on the head of the royal family!" The Seventh Prince, who had been spoiled since childhood, could no longer contain himself. He said viciously, "No matter what, I must find a way to teach them a…

Everyone finally understood when they saw this. "Although your flames are terrifying, unfortunately, my 'Indestructible Bronze Body' is impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire. How can your powerful flames harm me?" Zhao Haoyang recovered from the temporary paralysis of the electric shock. This "Indestructible Bronze Body" was not afraid of blades, spears, water, or fire, but it couldn't completely block electric shock. The high-voltage electric shock just now gave him some trouble.…
