"666666, that drift was so freaking cool!"
"Putting everything else aside, just that one drift could rival many big budget movies!"
"I didn't expect to see a clunky vehicle like the Karyon pull off a drift in my lifetime, much less a seamless 180 degree drift."
"Watching movies is only good for a laugh. For real thrill, Xu Mo is the way to go."
"Xu Mo is decent folk. When his teammates were in trouble he dared to rescue them!"
"Spread the word that Xu Mo is righteous!"
"Spread the word that Xu Mo wants to sleep with pigs!"
"Spread the word that Xu Mo got a pig pregnant!"
"... "
In the car.
Xu Mo sneezed several times in succession.
"Who the hell is cursing me?"
After a pause, he said to the four women in the car.
"So how about it, did I come late? I was waiting for you guys in the parking lot for a long time. When I didn't see anyone I guessed you must have run into some trouble. So I drove over and turns out I was right."
"You didn't come late at all. Your timing was perfect!" An Youyi still had some lingering fear but was very excited as she spoke.
This was thrilling, extremely thrilling!
In all her years, this was the first time she felt the euphoric rush of adrenaline.
It’s not every day you get to see scenes like these, much less experience them firsthand.
Unlike An Youyi, Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't seem as excited.
Because this wasn’t her first time experiencing such a thrill.
The last time was robbing a bank.
She turned to look at Xu Mo who was driving and said, "Speaking of which...what took you so long to get here?"
Without turning his head, his eyes fixed ahead on the road, Xu Mo replied as he drove carefully, "The gem they tried to pass off to me in the display case was fake. They wanted to trick me with a fake gem. Good thing I caught it. How could I swallow that insult? So I decided to go big or go home.
Hearing this, Zhou Qiaoqia was first stunned.
Then she stammered, "Go big...how big? Don't tell me you took everything from the exhibition hall!"
Grinning, Xu Mo revealed an innocent looking smile.
"Why else would I call you Zhou the Wise? You got it in one guess! I knew you were exceptionally bright."
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "......"
Zhou the Wise? What kind of crappy nickname is that!
Yeah right, thanks a lot!
Immediately after, Xu Mo freed a hand and pointed to a sack in front of the passenger seat, "Everything's in there. With this sack of loot I should be able to cash out big time."
Just talking about these treasures put Xu Mo in an inexplicably good mood. He even started humming a tune.
At this moment, the only thing missing was tattooing the words nouveau riche on his face.
His expression was the epitome of the nouveau riche.
Seeing this, the stream chat immediately blew up.
"Damn, he took everything from the exhibition hall?!"
"That's a haul full of treasures, it must be worth a freaking fortune!"
"We only told him to steal the gem, not take everything!"
"No big deal. It's just simulated crime, a real criminal wouldn't only take one thing. The show will cover for Xu Mo anyway. With how popular it is, the production team sure has money to spare. No harm done."
"......"
Some were overjoyed, others full of worry.
Xu Mo belonged to the former.
Whereas Wang Hao and Zhao Tianyi who witnessed Xu Mo drive away rescuing the four women firsthand had faces full of worry.
They looked like they just swallowed flies.
They had only turned away from Xu Mo for a moment when he took the shoes right off their feet.
Yet when they came back they witnessed that f*cked up scene again.
Xu Mo actually rescued those women right under their noses with a car!
They wanted to chase him down.
But Xu Mo drove like a madman.
In the blink of an eye after getting the women into his car not even his taillights were visible...
His taillights weren't even visible!
Even getting the parking lot security to drive after them, they had no idea which direction to chase.
So the two gave up altogether.
Instead they sent security to the nearest shop to buy a bottle of nail polish remover and four pairs of socks and shoes in different sizes.
They put on the socks and shoes.
Carrying the nail polish remover and two extra pairs of shoes, they returned to the surveillance room.
Exchanging looks with one another.
Wang Hao didn't know how to broach the subject.
He could only get Zhao Tianyi to break the unfortunate news of Xu Mo rescuing the women to Gao Liming and Zhang Wenrui.
Zhao Tianyi first threw the nail polish remover to Zhang Wenrui who was in the surveillance room. Then he put the purchased shoes and socks outside the door.
Only then did he prepare to speak.
He had heard about the art of speaking before.
You're supposed to tell a joke first before breaking bad news to someone. That way, they won't feel as sad when they hear the bad news.
"When I was playing on my phone just now I saw a joke. It was about a guy who couldn't sleep one night in his dorm room so he lit a cigarette. The next morning, his nearsighted roommate with over 500 degree myopia told him, I saw sparks flying from your teeth grinding last night hahahaha Xu Mo rescued those women hahahaha, was that joke funny?"
Zhao Tianyi spoke extremely fast. If you weren't listening carefully, it would be easy to miss the most crucial line embedded in his rambling.
Indeed, because of how fast he spoke, Zhang Wenrui didn't catch the key bit of information mixed into that nonsense.
He simply rolled his eyes.
"Did you f*cking rent that mouth? Spit it out if you're in a hurry, you dumbass. That joke was awful. Stone cold."
After saying that, he carefully started using the nail polish remover to dissolve the 502 glue stuck on his hands and the safe door.
At first, Gao Liming didn't pay much attention to Zhao Tianyi's lame joke either.
But a few seconds later.
It hit him.
"What did you say?? Xu Mo rescued them?"
Gao Liming practically roared out these words.
He was that shocked.
His voice of disbelief echoed throughout the entire exhibition hall.
"Yeah.", Zhao Tianyi said with a bitter smile.
"You saw it with your own eyes??"
"Yeah. Snatched them right from under our noses."
"And you guys didn't try to stop him? What about security? How could all those security guards not stop him either?"
Wang Hao took a long drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke before he calmly replied.
"Stop him? Forget it. That punk drove up and rescued them. He headed straight for security, you saying they shouldn't dodge when a car comes at them? The key is none of us expected the driver to be Xu Mo! At first I actually thought it was just some female driver who mistook the gas for the brakes."
He paused, then continued.
"We watched as he was about to slam into security guards. Then Xu Mo did a drift, stopping the car perfectly right in front of those girls. They got on and left just like that in the blink of an eye. Who could react fast enough?"
"Xu Mo rescued his accomplices. He also made off with the real gems. We lost...thoroughly lost. But losing to Xu Mo is no disgrace. Even the task force couldn't catch him. As for us..." At this, Wang Hao shrugged.
He seemed to have already accepted it.
...
On the other side.
An officer excitedly said to Director Wang and Han Fei, "Found them! According to eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage, Xu Mo just left the exhibition hall driving a Karyon!"
Exchanging looks with each other, Han Fei and Director Wang spoke in unison, "Set up roadblocks and send men to catch him!"
...
Alright, good night!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
