Chapter 102: The Three Sisters of Egypt

November 9th, not yet nine in the morning.
The museum gates were shut tight, yet a long line had already formed outside.
Thanks to the publicity from reporters and social media influencers, the news of the Phantom Thief issuing a crime notice had spread far and wide.
Those who had secured tickets naturally rose early, hoping to get inside, film short videos, and ride the wave of traffic.
Bloggers who failed to reserve tickets but still wanted to chase the trend could only wander outside, offering commentary on the museum.
Furthermore, because he had single-handedly eliminated Ning Hao, the frontrunner for this year's Dragon Ranking Battle had seen his popularity skyrocket.
They were now less than thirty miles away from the headquarters. Given the Japanese military's capability for long-range raids, such a distance posed an exceptionally grave threat to the command center. For Li Ziyuan, there were no other options left; he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.
"However, Lady Wuming has three highly skilled martial artists protecting her from the shadows," the man said calmly.
The sword energy did not stop at Iron Tenth Lord's shout; instead, it surged forward and struck Ghost Tenth Lord, slicing him clean in two.
"Do you still remember what you promised me?" The cold voice drifted through the air, colder even than the frigid air being inhaled.
The sky was dark, but the ice underfoot reflected a dark red glow, as if one were standing upon a frozen sea of congealed blood.
Two streaks of blood-red light dove down from the void, plunging into the brows of the man and the monkey respectively, before vanishing.
If he were to die in the line of duty, what would happen to his wife and children? At their age, they had long since passed the stage of youthful bravado and fighting. They were old men now; the importance of sacrificing oneself for the Emperor had long been replaced by wives, children, and tatami mats.
Zheng Pin carried his rifle, looking left and right for a while. As he walked, he suddenly heard sobbing coming from beneath a large tree by the hillside. He pushed a round into the chamber and approached, rifle raised.
Yet he thought to himself, if only you hadn't said it so late—now that I've heard it, what's the point of telling me now?
Cang Lang snuck into the classroom through the back door, found a sunny spot, and as soon as his backside hit the seat, he pulled the hood of his HLA down jacket over his head.
He feared neither death nor pain, which meant there was surely something more important than those two things worth waiting for. Lin Zhiyuan had waited so long, gambled for so long, and finally, he had proven himself right.
As Chen Yang was lost in thought, he noticed Huo Jianling had arrived at the front courtyard's large iron gate, so he went to unlock it.
The man in black was stunned. Since when was medicine taken like this? It was as if she were eating it like a meal.
Most of Ye Shiyi's attribute values had changed, especially his Spirit and Strength, which had seen the greatest shifts. His massive Spirit value had plummeted to less than a tenth of its original, while his Strength had soared by nearly a thousand.
In the distance, a glimmer of light peering over the mountains illuminated the far reaches of the firmament, the pearly-white sky brewing a coolness that flowed through the eyes and into the heart.
The seventh act, once announced by the host, instantly captured everyone's attention.
He was conservatively estimated to be over fifty years old; his missing front teeth made his greeting whistle with escaping air.
Tang Yangyu had never been to the Underground Dragon City and did not know what it looked like, but he could guarantee it would never be as magnificent or exquisite as this Underground Wolf Castle.
A pair of innocent eyes peered out from the rock, looking up; then, the creature hurriedly shifted its body, moving away from the tree. Although the tree gave it a unique sense of safety, it did not want the tree to be injured again.
"Heh! You have it easy—you were only unable to use your spiritual power for a short time. I haven't been able to use even a shred of spiritual power from the very beginning, relying entirely on my physical body to hold on. Ow, ow, ow—it hurts!" Ying Huo said with disdain, only to clutch his waist and cry out in pain a moment later.
"Brother Xu, don't worry. Since we've come here, we naturally won't let your beloved marry anyone else," Li Qianzi said, patting Ye Jingxu on the shoulder with a determined look in her eyes.
