Chapter 2: Compelling Others to Do Good Deeds

How much do you think is appropriate to donate?" Loli still would not let them off the hook and continued to ask.

It is a matter of waste utilization! After all, you will never use them again. Don't you think they take up a lot of space just sitting there? However, if they are not damaged and you throw them all away, it seems somewhat wasteful. If you were to deliberately damage them just to dispose of them, surely you wouldn't be that kind of perverse person!

Not only Luo Zengming and the unfortunate employee Sandy appeared flustered and terrified; at this moment, sitting before her was a person with a pale face and trembling lips

Behind him stood a thug with a bandage on his nose, looking fierce as he shouted aggressively

What made him even more embarrassed was that his wife's words were flawless, leaving no room for rebuttal

"Are you really sure this thing is useful?" Loli asked

"Why did this happen? Who hired the shipping company? Didn't Sandy consider finding another shipping company to retrieve the goods first? This way, at most, we would only lose some deposit," Luo Zengming inquired.

Even if the force that initiated the provocation ultimately survives, it will have suffered significant damage. There have been one or two precedents that have made everyone much more cautious and careful thereafter said Lori

This is also a philosophy of life taught to her by her aunt: when someone competes with you for the same prey, relinquish that prey and focus on your opponent, for you may discover something of greater value.

"You seem to be asking too many questions; it should be my turn to ask now." Loli did not respond but issued a warning

"You may not care about these things, but there are those who can be saved because of them." Mrs. Luo was very aware of her husband's character, and she gently comforted him

"Take you as an example, if you continue to cultivate without stopping, what is the ultimate goal?" the person continued to ask

There is no doubt that it will once again be a topic that will be met with ruthless ridicule

In that moment, she saw countless exceptionally intricate ripples emerging from the surface of the pottery jar, radiating from the numerous bumps and protrusions. Ultimately, all the ripples converged at the center of the jar, intertwining like a flower in full bloom.

He appears to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a thin and elongated face. From his messy hair, Lori does not believe that this person is married or has a girlfriend

"If you want to obtain information from me, you must show some sincerity and share something about yourself. We will exchange answers," said Lori. "I still have the same question as before: why are you interested in this item?"

I believe there should be no issues

"What are you worried about?" asked Mrs. Luo

"Trust me, my intuition tells me that this thing will definitely be useful," he concluded.

"Are you a practitioner?" the person continued to inquire

"Everything has been resolved, the goods have already been dispatched. However, Sandy seems to be very frightened. He said over the phone that the owner of the shipping company cut off a piece of his finger in front of him and told him to bring the finger back to you as an apology. Mr. Luo, what exactly did you do?" Miti asked, filled with confusion and astonishment.

I don't know, but if you give me control of your eyes, I can show you some interesting things, said Yan.

Perhaps we can collaborate. Loli said to that person: Your modern perspective on explaining the mysteries of magical tools has greatly enlightened me, and I need your skills.

I have decided to collaborate with you, but I absolutely do not wish to be constrained by you like these individuals. Our cooperation must be equal.

What strikes me as strange is that you do not appear to be a practitioner. How is it that you can discern that this object is different? Do you possess some kind of instrument that can identify or even search for magical artifacts

Is there something going on

"Not bad," he replied at the end of his words

Throughout the long course of history, there may have been such tragedies; however, the ultimate outcome is always that the party that initiated the provocation must confront a frenzied and unrestrained retaliation.

Even if she is just a little girl, the title of a gang leader is enough to instill fear

"Magical instrument? Magic array?" That person furrowed their brow and asked

Brothers, let these fellows see how much our elder sister is respected by all of us said the nearby Uncle Mao, raising his voice

I began to study that ornament in order to determine its origin. I consulted several appraisers, and they informed me that the ornament is likely a work from the Tang Dynasty

"Elder sister, I remember you seemed to have mentioned the term 'Juyuan Formation' to us before," interjected a nearby underworld boss.

As soon as the words were spoken, including Zhu Bowen, the gang leaders quickly took out their mobile phones and began to press buttons rapidly. In an instant, the narrow and crowded RV was filled with the sounds of phone calls, varying in pitch and volume.

That person furrowed his brow, clearly calculating the gains and losses in his heart. After a long while, he helplessly said: "This matter dates back to three years ago. Three years ago, I happened to acquire a certain ornament. At that time, I was researching the use of sound waves to detect the shapes of underwater objects.

It is precisely for this reason that when several hands appeared to be affectionately placed on their shoulders, all three men involuntarily began to tremble at the knees

In addition to that unscrupulous lawyer, there were more than a dozen thugs who appeared rather disreputable, among whom several had bandages on their noses, looking exceedingly amusing.

Loli said indignantly: "Others had better remember this as well"

Regarding the previous auction items, he had no interest whatsoever. However, when he saw the appraiser gently cradling the ceramic jar in his hands, his ears immediately perked up

Since you have chased all the way here today, you should at least contribute a little, if not for the sake of your father's spirit, then at least to buy yourselves a few more years of good fortune. The latter half of your lives is still long, and lying in bed all day is hardly meaningful

At this moment, Loris was completely unaware that she had once again frightened her father to the point of losing his senses

Loli pretended to ponder for a moment before slowly saying: "The answer may not satisfy you. For practitioners in the East, the ultimate goal is immortality. Hindu mythology begins with the gods and asuras churning the ocean of milk to create the elixir of immortality; similarly, Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to the sea in search of Penglai, also in pursuit of the elixir of eternal life.

800,000

"Fifteen million," Zhu Bowen said without changing his expression, and the competition came to an abrupt halt

Gently pulling the trigger, with a soft "pop," a small point exploded right in the center of a distant Winnie the Pooh's forehead, revealing white cotton. Behind this adorable plush toy, a long nail was deeply embedded in the wall.

The reason for the words to jump out is one of the donated auction items placed on the stage.

The reason that these gang leaders are drawn here, sitting uncomfortably, is that seemingly unremarkable pottery. Each of them is unwilling to miss this rare opportunity.

Loris was completely unaware; at this moment, her demeanor was so composed and commanding that the gang leaders beside her appeared utterly silent and intimidated

"Your intuition? If you had even a little intuition, you probably wouldn't have died," said Lori.

However, the answer he received was, as expected, Loli's prolonged and deliberate "STOP".

What happened? Has anything occurred again? Is there any news from Sandy?" Luo Zengming asked with concern

However, his tone was not very certain, as he only possessed some numbers calculated using simple formulas, which were copied from a book discussing ballistics

"I concede to you, fine, be quiet. Mom and Dad are probably getting impatient waiting," said Lori

"One million? Have I wasted so much time for just this?" Loli feigned a look of confusion, asking those gang leaders.

The only distinction, I fear, is that Taoism is more pragmatic than the various Indian religions; the concept of immortality is merely confined to longevity, unlike the Indian religions which pursue immortality, indestructibility, and invulnerability

I remember in my childhood, I wholeheartedly hoped to become a scientist when I grew up. However, as I grew older, the ideal of becoming a scientist gradually transformed into a desire to become the richest person in the world

Observing her husband's awkward and helpless expression, Mrs. Luo revealed a faint smile, in which there was a hint of teasing that carried little malice.

Immortal? Please provide a definition for immortals. After all, I only know one thing: the Jade Emperor absolutely does not exist in this world. As for practitioners, we try our best not to disturb each other, so we never inquire about each other's circumstances.

"Which of you has any solutions?" Loli asked, turning to those behind her

"Elder sister, should the brothers have a good heart-to-heart talk with these few?" asked the smiling Uncle Mao.

Perhaps the spring valve could be designed to be more compact and flexible, or simply replaced with a snap-fit device to eliminate these complex designs

I have another one. I asked several connoisseur friends, and they told me that this item is actually a medicinal pot used for decocting herbs. However, my experiments have shown me that all that is needed is something like a magnetron oscillator, similar to that in a microwave oven, and this ceramic pot can precisely control the temperature.

While driving, Luo Zengming, as a father, asked, regarding this daughter, he increasingly felt perplexed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lori's parents were already rendered speechless; what more could they possibly say

Looking at the stack of cash stuffed into the donation box, Luo Zengming could only smile wryly at his wife, who was gently smiling at him.

At that moment, the parents felt a slight dizziness in their heads as they stared blankly at their daughter, their eyes vacant and showing signs of confusion. In their eyes, this little girl seemed no longer to be the beloved and familiar daughter they knew, but rather a UFO, an extraterrestrial, a being from outer space

These words immediately captured the attention of Zhu Bowen and those gang leaders

"Where are we going now? To your laboratory?" Loli asked

3,500,000

Such a price increase is clearly beyond everyone's expectations; however, what is even more surprising is that the other party continues to raise the price without hesitation

Oh? Isn't this Little Six near Temple Street? When did you become so impressive?

As for those more advanced formulas, although they seem somewhat familiar at first glance, and the symbols appear to be recognized, it is a pity that since graduating from university, he has nearly forgotten all his mathematics. He lacks the courage to start learning from scratch.

Listen up, all of you. This matter originally had nothing to do with me. I did not embezzle any of the assets left by your father. Today, in accordance with your father's last wishes before he passed away, I will donate all the money. This can be considered as a way to accumulate some merit for him

For such a result, he surprisingly felt dissatisfied. In his conception, even the power of a micro pistol's bullet should be much greater than this. It is evident that it is not a calculation error, but rather that the finished product did not meet the design requirements

"When did so many philanthropists suddenly appear in my home?" Luo Zengming said to himself helplessly

"Everyone listen, we are here to settle a personal grudge, and those with no business here should not interfere." Another thug shouted loudly. If it weren't for the presence of several gang members around whom they could not provoke, this guy's tone would undoubtedly be much more impolite

The couple did not even know how they had walked out, nor did they know how to find their car, or how they had driven it to the company. At this moment, both of them appeared dazed, as if they had lost their souls.

However, deep down in her heart, she held a completely different opinion on this matter; all of it was merely the idea of that strange evil spirit, and Lori was rather dismissive of the situation.

Little brat, let's see where you run this time. Gentlemen in front, please step aside; let us first resolve a few matters.

Luo Zengming sat there in a daze, his mind completely blank. After a long while, he finally said, "I just made a phone call to my daughter"

The underworld boss said with a stern expression, and with each word he spoke, he would heavily pat the shoulders of the two men whose faces were ashen.

Have you truly considered donating all of your money

"People like you, the common folk, certainly cannot see it; among these items, there is a genuine treasure. However, what is referred to as a treasure is only significant to us; you have no use for it at all," he said, lowering his voice at the end.

Since then, I have gradually paid attention to every antique shop and auction. Over the past few years, I have searched for and found several items, including this identical ceramic jar.

Is that our daughter?" murmured Luo, who was standing behind, in a low voice.

"You can consider this as the last question," that person said

Reluctantly, I took my wallet out of my pocket; it always contained a few large bills, meant to deal with those petty thugs. Sometimes, a few large bills are far more effective than exhausting oneself with words and pleasantries.

"Who among you is carrying enough money?" Yanmo inquired

"Is there any other purpose for this thing besides the possibility of sending me to a reform school? Please don't tell me that you plan to use it to shoot it out with someone wielding a real gun. If that's the case, I really have to question whether your brain was completely damaged when you were accidentally shot, leaving you with an irredeemably foolish aftereffect," said Loli dismissively.

The leader of the thugs immediately changed his expression; he absolutely did not expect that all these gang leaders would be here.

"Is it not permissible for those on the road to do some good deeds?" said Lori

One million. The opponent that Zhu Bowen is competing against has offered an aggressive price

All along, Loli has felt that what her aunt said was very reasonable

Recently, this fellow has been frequently going to my father's company to create disturbances

The number four is considered unlucky, I think six looks good, and it is just right. Each of your two sons would share one hundred million, but in reality, this amount is not much, just a few million dollars

"Old Zhu, how much can your credit card be overdrawn?" he asked at the end of his statement

She even speculated that after making those gang leaders spend a considerable amount, they might return and increase the protection fees by ten percent

Upon hearing these words, Luo Zengming once again displayed an expression of embarrassment on his face

Luo Zengming observed numerous individuals dressed in black suits, wearing black sunglasses, and exhibiting fierce expressions moving about in the vicinity, and could not help but murmur to himself.

What I can ascertain now is that this object is a magical tool created by an external sect

The person who was just trembling with fear may have calmed down at this moment, and thus their tone has also become more assertive.

"No problem, but it seems I haven't seen anything worth taking action on." Although Zhu Bowen does not have a good reputation, his insight is still somewhat commendable

He also mentioned that the freight company is asking us to add an additional 50% to the payment, while our client is already urging for this batch of goods, which was originally supposed to be delivered to them two days ago

This situation not only startled those few individuals who were like fish in a barrel, but even the onlookers were all filled with trepidation.

However, in recent days, the foreign language class that once caused him the most headaches has completely lost its initial difficulty; it seems that his brain can easily remember all the vocabulary.

How?

However, it is absolutely impossible for Yan Mo to admit that the reference he used is a fictional character from an animated series

He carefully filed the parts until he felt they were nearly finished, and only then did he temporarily stop his work.

However, the expressions of the other leaders were as cold as ice, and their chilling gazes made those targeted feel as if they were frogs caught in the stare of a venomous snake

Luo Zengming firmly believes that his daughter's decision this time can be said to have been made without any consideration for him, as he is the one who stands to lose the most.

There is no need for so many; there is one auction item that you must help me secure

The same dullness is also present in the eyes of the greedy couple, who are wholeheartedly eager to reclaim their inheritance, as well as in the eyes of the unscrupulous lawyer working for them, though their astonished gaze is subtly tinged with a hint of fear

Fifteen million. The distant young voice rang out once again

A variety of unprecedented designs suddenly sprang forth from the mind that occupied this moment, and even he himself did not know the reason behind it. This body and the brain it housed seemed to function far better than the one he originally possessed

My credit card allows for overdraft

Dear, I once again implore you to allow our daughter to go to the United Kingdom. I am very worried that if this continues, I do not know what other strange things might happen.

"Yunshan High Energy Physics Laboratory? Wang Keer. Chen ... ... " Zhu Bowen looked at the top card and read aloud.

Let us lay our cards on the table. I believe you are interested in this matter, and it certainly has nothing to do with military projects. Tell us why you are interested in this, and perhaps I can share some things that you would find very intriguing.

Dad, you and Mom can go ahead and take care of your own matters; I will return home by myself.

This simple sentence caused Luo Zengming to swallow back all the words he originally intended to say

Half an hour passed, and most of the gang leaders put down their phones one after another, looking dejected. Only Pig Shark continued to dial numbers one after another.

"Can you answer my previous question? Do deities really exist in this world? How many practitioners like you are there?" the person asked

As Luo Zengming stepped down from the vehicle, his mood was already quite poor, especially when he stood in front of the enormous donation box at the entrance; he felt as if his troubles had increased even further.

Fifteen million, first call, is there anyone else willing to bid higher? Fifteen million, second call, this is the final opportunity

Yan Mo was certainly very clear about why the little girl would ask such a question. At that moment, what he was doing was indeed inspired by that famous animated series. In Yan Mo's view, this was entirely reasonable, as the only reference he could find that was most similar was this high school detective who had turned into a child

"The practitioner?" that person murmured

"Husband, I promise you, I will do as you wish. I am no longer worried about our daughter; clearly, she is more capable than both of us. What truly troubles me is you. Recently, you have faced too many provocations," Mrs. Luo said with concern.

From the T-shirt he wore, valued at over 60,000, and the Rolex on his wrist, which costs around 100,000, Loli categorized this person as wealthy, yet not extremely affluent, placing him within the middle class.

Was it not once said that such a great genius as Einstein had only a few percent of his brain developed

Put that disappointing masterpiece into your pocket, and at the end of the words, retreat into the depths of consciousness

Sitting leisurely in the front row of the library, it is not the little girl, Lori, who controls the body at this moment, but rather the unique vengeful spirit.

With a sound that seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, several emaciated old men parted the crowd and walked out leisurely

He had no intention of continuing to waste words with the little girl and was fully focused on his own work.

What is going on? We haven't taken a wrong turn, have we? This is a charity fundraising event for the World Children's Fund, not a meeting of the underworld alliance. Why are there so many people from that world gathered here?

I do not know what term you prefer to use to refer to those with special abilities, is it "supernatural powers"? "great powers"? "sorcerers"?" the speaker explained at the end

When he spoke the final words, it was Yan Mo who opened his mouth, appearing exceptionally excited while simultaneously filled with anticipation

Certainly, the ultimate ideal is fixed on the desire to earn one million of his own during his lifetime. Regarding this ideal, he absolutely would not even think about it now, as it would only make him feel embarrassed. He is even more concerned that the little girl, Loli, might find out about this matter

"Of course, of course." At this moment, the two couples were willing to pay any price, only seeking to leave safely, hurriedly responding in agreement.

Does the existence of deities truly prevail in this world? How many practitioners like you are there? That person became increasingly excited.

Do not draw everyone's attention, and I am still unable to determine it at this moment. Although I can see its extraordinary nature, it will only be after further research that I can understand what purpose that thing truly serves

I cast a glance at the backs of those two greedy couples, and following them was a familiar face, that of the scoundrel lawyer who worked for these idiots

In this matter, Yan Mo agrees with the little girl's perspective; the object he is currently crafting in his hands is undoubtedly a clumsy and rough piece of work

Fortunately, this is a twelve-seater RV, which can accommodate so many usually arrogant and proud individuals all at once

"A gentleman has offered 700,000. Is there anyone willing to bid a higher price?" the auctioneer inquired

Sister? The thug hesitated and glanced at Mrs. Luo. In his imagination, this Mrs. Luo might be the daughter of someone of very high status.

I speculate that this pottery jar is a rare piece created by integrating the aesthetic perspectives of foreign cultures. In my view, such an antique possesses extraordinary value. My appraisal is 600,000.

In the memories at the end of my words, the days spent learning advanced mathematics were nothing short of a nightmare

"Not bad, quite well done. Please ask that gentleman to wait a moment; I have some matters I wish to discuss with him," said Lori calmly, as the man respectfully withdrew.

Can you help me find that person? After the conference is over, we can pay a visit to that gentleman together, " Lori said淡淡地.

Sandy originally intended to do it this way, but the freight company we hired later was dismissed. That warehouse and the freight company are part of the same entity, and it seems there are some unsavory backgrounds involved. According to the freight company that was sent back, their background is quite formidable.

At that moment, the bespectacled subordinate of the Ma Gui who initially picked her up along with Zhu Bowen approached: "The person you asked us to find has been located."

He glanced at his astonished wife and quickly shrugged his shoulders, saying: "Of course, I was just joking earlier; I merely wanted to lighten the atmosphere. However, who can say for certain about such matters? Surely, you wouldn't dare to claim that there is absolutely no possibility."

Due to the nature of on-site donations and immediate auctions, such charitable events do not provide detailed introductions for each auction item as formal auction houses do. The only means for attendees to ascertain the value of the items is through the statements made by an appraiser invited to the charity event.

Like most fundraising events, no one donates truly valuable antiques, so what is donated is always some second-rate items

Ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction is a donation from Ms. Liu Qingyan. This is a ceramic jar, believed to have been made during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The shape of this jar is quite unique. It is well known that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Central Plains were invaded by foreign tribes. Within a short period, various foreign groups such as the Xianbei, Uighurs, and Turks entered and integrated into Han culture, bringing with them their own cultural and artistic concepts.

At this moment, the two greedy sons had already turned pale, and they had also come to terms with reality. Apart from obediently paying the money as instructed by the little girl, there was absolutely no other option available to them. Otherwise, any hesitation would surely lead those underworld figures to be more than willing to lend them money, but that would be usury, and the compounding interest could easily drive both of them to bankruptcy

However, their gazes would absolutely not evoke the slightest sense of interest in Lori. If looks could kill, Lori was certain that the furious glare of these individuals would have long since pierced her through completely

Lori casually remarked, yet at this moment, it was evident that no one dared to refute her words

Once, I regarded that ornament as the target object, and to my great surprise, it absorbed most of the energy. Such performance is no less impressive than that of the most advanced sound-absorbing tiles available today

Hello, big sister

He installed the last component in its designated position, gently cradling his head in thought. Could it be that his existence, that he shared a brain with Loli, had led to an unprecedented development of the brain

Luo Zengming gently pressed his fingers against his temples, and now his head began to ache again. At this moment, the last thing he wanted to hear was anything related to the underworld.

Behind him, there was naturally a chorus of responses echoing in agreement

four million

"Can't you find another target? Why do you always have to pick on my toys?" Loli complained.

"Why are you interested in this thing?" asked Lori

"Please finish what you were saying! Let us know what grievances you have with our elder sister," said the man known as the Smiling Tiger, Uncle Mao, with his signature smile plastered across his face

Indeed, donate everything, so that no one will be concerned. Father—don't you think it is quite pointless to waste breath on those four rascals and fools?" Loli said in a nonchalant tone.

The big shots sitting in this RV, which one of them does not own several super luxury cars? Moreover, in the long convoy trailing behind them at this moment, any one of those vehicles is far more comfortable and grand than this RV

I have prepared a check, and it amounts to exactly 400 million www.hetushu.com. This is the entirety of your father's inheritance. The previous figure truly does not satisfy me, and I believe your father, who lives in another world, would not be pleased either.

If Zhu Bowen had not heard the origin of this item beforehand, he might have hesitated. However, at this moment, he did not even think about it and immediately raised his hand, saying: "Three million"

The gang leader immediately nodded and bowed upon seeing Ma Gui, repeatedly speaking in a soft tone. No one understood better than him what kind of individuals were before him, and what the consequences would be for offending them. The island was surrounded by sea, and making a person completely disappear was an exceedingly easy task.

"That chubby guy held back for a long time, and finally mustered the courage to say: 'I will donate 1,000,000.'"

Upon contemplating these thoughts, a plan that had never crossed his mind before suddenly emerged in his consciousness. Perhaps he could utilize this body and his current identity to accomplish many things he had once dreamed of but had found nearly impossible to achieve

Everything is auspicious, let us go. However, Lao Hao, I must warn you about one thing: in the future, do not use a meat grinder for disposing of bodies, and absolutely do not turn them into shredded meat. My favorite food is shredded meat.

However, I also believe that you need my assistance. There are certain things that I can discern at a glance, but when you attempt to prove them through experimentation, it may lead to errors.

The pig-headed shark immediately raised its right hand in understanding

What it fires is not a tranquilizer dart, but rather an arrow-shaped bullet measuring one inch in length, propelled from the muzzle under high pressure, theoretically achieving an initial velocity of no less than 500 FPS. With my marksmanship, it is absolutely impossible to miss; as long as I hit a vital point, it would be fatal. Of course, I would most likely aim for the knee.

The true fact is that, for her at this moment, that inheritance is of no significance.

As they spoke, the more than ten thugs had already scattered in all directions, yet none of them wished to be the one to stand out. The complete defeat at the Xinyue Shopping Mall left these thugs with no one daring to entertain any thoughts of underestimating the situation

The most important task at present is the installation of the trigger. The trigger simultaneously controls the valve of the carbon dioxide cylinder and the spring valve connected to the barrel. If it is not installed properly, it will not function.

I have noticed that you are becoming increasingly patient, as you are able to wait until I finish speaking before interrupting me. Ah! No, since I have already finished speaking, it cannot be considered an interruption.

As a mere mortal, you can hardly imagine how terrifying such unrestricted vengeance can be, which is certainly incomparable to being strapped with a bomb and carrying out a suicide bombing

Therefore, my current approach is the most appropriate way to allow them to make their final contribution, and then to give you sufficient reason to discard them said Yanmo at the end

Mr. Luo, as the attorney for the two Mr. Gong, I must warn you that your actions are indeed lacking in reason. You should immediately cease your infringement on the estate that my clients are legally entitled to inherit. Do not think that by donating this money to charitable organizations, the court will show you any favoritism.

Just as he was about to respond, he suddenly felt that the little girl, Lori, had taken control of his body.

My name is Chen Wenkai, and my English name is Wang Keer. I graduated from the Department of Physics at Stanford University in the United States, holding two doctoral degrees in applied physics and computer science. The Yunshan High Energy Physics Laboratory undertakes projects exclusively for the military, and it is still not too late for everyone to withdraw now

... ... ''

Indeed, indeed, even if it is a joke, it seems unnecessary to make fun of our elder sister. The underworld leader beside him snorted coldly and said

That person hesitated for a moment and finally said

"Microwave? That's a very interesting way to put it," said Lori, while secretly asking Yan Mo, "Did you know this thing has such a use?"

Regarding this matter, I am unable to make a decision; obtaining a pass is not so easy." The person said, slightly furrowing their brow

This somewhat eased the discomfort of the husband, who was reluctant to part with his beloved wife. However, as soon as he entered the hall, he was taken aback by the sight before him

Forget it, I have at least met their father once," said Lori, waving her hand.

A single sentence from Loli left everyone who was originally filled with confusion completely stunned, and without a doubt, this was an outcome they could never have imagined

Lori did not want to say another word; she turned her head and instructed those gang leaders, "Search him."

Seeing that person still unmoved, Luoli could only sigh and say: "I believe your interest in this item is certainly not because it is an antique; without a doubt, this should be a magical artifact.

More than an hour later, the office door opened once again, and the secretary, Midi, burst in with a look of astonishment on her face

Mr. Ma, Uncle Hao, Uncle Guang, and all the esteemed seniors, I do not know how many of you are present here, but with your presence, where could I possibly have any authority?

Seeing that there was not the slightest movement from the opposite side, he gently struck the hammer in his hand

For this reason, he argued: "If you don't understand, please refrain from making random comments. What I am currently working on is not a tranquilizer dart launcher; this is a genuine self-defense weapon, and its power is likely not inferior to that of a miniature handgun.

"Seven hundred thousand." Suddenly, a young voice came from a distance

As Uncle Hao's words came to an end, the gang members dressed in black suits around him shouted in unison and respectfully bowed to Lori, performing a deep bow at a precise angle of seventy-five degrees, showing no signs of insincerity whatsoever

Why not reconsider this matter carefully? Do not forget that I even had to trouble a lawyer for this issue, and that lawyer's fee is not a small amount.

"It sounds like something like a battery or an engine," Zhu Bowen murmured to himself

I... I am merely interested in antiques; it is purely a personal hobby. " The person said, trembling and with a somewhat quavering voice.

However, he also has a fatal weakness, and undoubtedly, foreign languages are the greatest obstacle, especially in terms of listening comprehension, which is utterly disastrous. So much so that when he first attached himself to the little girl, he was even embarrassed to find that his English dictation skills were far inferior to those of this little girl.

I have told you not to call me that, as it makes me seem very old-fashioned

Loli temporarily relinquished control over her eyes, as Yan Mo had suggested

"By the way, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. Besides Conan, what else do you know?" the girl asked, her tone filled with sarcasm and disdain

"Don't forget, the mayoral election is coming up next year. At the current rate of development, by next year, even if our daughter were to assume the position of mayor, it would hardly be considered surprising," Luo Zengming said with a wry smile.

As for what the practitioners in the West pursue, to speak frankly, I have no research on this matter whatsoever

However, the Gathering Array is more commonly used to collect a specific type of energy, which is often very powerful. This powerful energy is utilized to propel another formidable magic array. " At the end of the statement, he fabricated a lie and explained.

What is this? Is it very impressive? What is its use? A cacophony of sounds immediately rang in my ears

"You idiot, don't you know that negotiating requires a lot of skill? Just stand by and watch how I bargain," said Lori

What caught Yan Mo's eye was a ceramic pot, whose exterior was quite peculiar; however, it was precisely because of its peculiarity that it appeared exceptionally ugly

Just as Zhu Bowen was about to raise the bid again, his arm was gently blocked by Lori, and this time it was Lori who seized control over the body

To speak frankly, having the underworld act as the nemesis of crime is already quite laughable to her. Although the arrangement ultimately appeared effective, the idea of these gang leaders becoming good people seems rather fanciful from Loli's perspective

As soon as the words fell, those gang leaders pounced like wolves and tigers. Perhaps it had been a long time since they engaged in such activities, as several of the leaders became somewhat high without realizing it, stripping the person bare with their hands all over him, leaving him without even a pair of underpants. This forced the individual to curl up his body and hide naked in an unseen corner

Just as Loli was lost in her thoughts, a sudden exclamation came from a distance: "Over there, I knew they would definitely come here."

"Sir, are you willing to offer a price higher than fifteen million? Fifteen million," the auctioneer inquired

"Mago, I know the fortunes of these two individuals; this amount of money is merely trivial for them. However, everyone experiences financial difficulties at times. If they are unable to come up with it immediately, please lend them this sum for my sake," said Lori with a smile, yet that sweet smile was chilling at this moment.

What instilled fear in that person was not Lori herself, but rather the gang leaders who sat in a circle around him, their eyes fixed intently on him
