The entire city was filled with a sense of tension, as if a storm was about to break. On the seaside boardwalk, a fisherman pulled hard on his fishing rod, the taut line looking like it could snap at any moment. Beneath the dark surface of the sea, a great terror seemed to be lurking. A fierce gust of sea wind swept the waves, crashing against the rocks with a thunderous bloom! Boom! The gloomy sky quickly began to rain. The few pedestrians on the road ran to nearby shelters and stood, looking up…-

Bandy, picking up the phone, looked at the other family members in the dining room. "Did any of you arrange for a truck to hit Dale?" The gentlemen sitting at the dining table looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally, they all shook their heads. Wolfley even said with a smile, "That's a good idea. At least it won't get your hands dirty." Bandy turned his head again, "It wasn't us." The mayor didn't believe it at all. "That batch of liquor was just an accident!" He seemed to be…

At nine-something in the evening, the mayor was reading the "International News." He was also very interested in the recent events happening internationally.

He put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, rubbed his eye sockets, and then picked up the phone, "This is Sidney." "It's me, Mike." "What's wrong?" he…

The dring-dring-dring of the telephone interrupted the conversation between the mayor and Orson the lawyer. He looked at the phone for a moment, then picked it up. This was a call to his private number; it had to be something important. "This is Sidney." "It's me, Dale. I've received an important piece of intelligence. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of liquor stored in a warehouse at the docks." The mayor rephrased his words for him, "Smuggled liquor." Chief Dale immediately…

The situation on Summuri Island was a bit complicated now. Because it was adjacent to the Tanfit continent, it could be considered a part of the continent. Now, the military friction between several countries on the Tanfit continent was constantly escalating, and the clouds of war had begun to spread around. In fact, looking at the development of the situation rationally, Summuri Island was very likely to be affected by the war, which also led to a divergence of opinions among the four major families…

In the morning, Vice President Vaughn arrived early at the dockworkers' union office.

"Very large... boat... rotten..." This sentence left Su Li and the other two men staring at each other. Ding Longyun frowned and said, "A very large boat that's rotten?" Su Li didn't press for details but looked out into the distance. At this point, he could just make out a blurry shadow in the distant fog. The blurry shadow grew steadily larger and clearer. Finally, they all saw it: a ship-shaped dark shadow had truly appeared in the distant mist. This ship-shaped shadow was not small,…

The two men sped up, catching up to Gong Xiao ahead. Ding Longyun chuckled and asked, "Gong Xiao, what do you feel like eating tonight? I'll cook it for you." Gong Xiao smiled slightly. "Brother Ding, you're too kind. Whatever everyone else is eating is fine with me." "Then let me think... how about congee tonight? I feel like I've been running hot these past couple of days, so some congee should cool things down," Ding Longyun said, winking at Su Li. Gong Xiao replied, "I have no…

The corpse of the One-Eyed Frog King indeed disturbed the underwater creatures. Soon, Corpse Beasts began to appear, followed by numerous black and white striped Sea Spiders surfacing on the water. The One-Eyed Frog King was a Leader-class monster. Although it was only Level 2, the flesh and blood of a Leader-class creature were clearly potent. Throwing it into the water caused a massive disturbance in this area, and a large swarm of Corpse Beasts and Sea Spiders surged out, immediately overwhelming the…

"Screech—" The One-Eyed Frog King suddenly opened its massive, bloody mouth and thrashed violently, slamming into walls as it blindly tried to shake off the iron rod that had pierced its eye. Gong Xiao, who had been tossed onto the living room sofa by Su Li, looked up and saw the astonishing sight of his attack: the iron rod flying out, piercing the monster's single eye, and embedding itself deep into its skull. The force of the blow made Gong Xiao gasp, her cherry lips open wide, unable to utter a…
