On the other side, on the east of LiLong Country, in Li Industrial City stood a mansion as large and wide as the Li Mansion in Long Capital City. The Long Mansion was similarly built out of bullet-proof, one-way glass. But where the Li Mansion was grey, the Long Mansion was black and was surrounded by black pillars that released flashes of security lights every few seconds. Armored guards in black suits and black shades patrolled the grounds, their actions robotic and professional as they screened every visitor. "Sire, please spread out your hands. We need to scan you before you can enter." One of the gate guards expressionlessly commanded. "Hey, I come to see Commander Long every weekend. Is it necessary to do this every time?" A balding man with a potbelly questioned dissatisfiedly as he spread out his arms. "Unfortunately, that's the procedure." The guard stepped up and snapped a pair of white-steel ScannerGets on his wrists and pow

No! No! NO! This can't be! Where are the people? Where is everyone!? Qing Yue looked at the black body of water and dazedly drifted towards it, her blank mind unable to process anything further. Then her nostrils flared as the scent of blood and sweat overwhelmed her senses. "Blood...? Is it mine?" She looked at her hands, but no... The scent was coming from the body of black water... "Why would a nice, clean sea of water smell like blood?" She moved closer and stared into the black water, her mind jolting at what her eyes perceived. she blinked and saw... It was nothing more than a sea of black water...then what had she seen awhile ago? Qing Yue could've sworn she saw an eye! It was a giant eye smeared with various vein-like throbbing bloodlines. But the disturbing part wasn't the veins. It was how the intersecting veins resembled the waterlines of the New World Formation? What's

A man like Long Tian was one in a million. And in the New World Formation where the cost of living was sky-high, having a relationship with the son of the Great Commander was tantamount to securing a cash cow. There were many instances where Lu Jin felt tempted to dump Gu Yan and cling onto the money-bags Long Tian. But she stomped on the impulse before it could take control of her mind. If she ditched Gu Yan to chase after Long Tian, then Gu Yan wouldn't spare her. He would ruin her career and ruin her image in Long Tian's eyes. Not only would he expose how she'd only approached him for his money. He would also embellish their love affair while she dated him. By then, let alone Long Tian, even the luxurious life and status she enjoyed as Long Tian's girlfriend would be gone. No...I can't lose this status...but I also want the man, Long Tian. Gu Yan, you can only blame yourself for sending me to Long Tian's side... A malicious

"Long Tian, I...I was forced! He forced me!" Lu Jin never expected one careless action on her part would reveal her truth to Long Tian. Not only that, but he also heard how she and Gu Yan were playing him! Was she going to lose Long Tian and the status of Madam Long? No! She wouldn't allow herself to fall from grace so easily! Her eyes gleamed with a fierce light and she shot a glance at Gu Yan. Then steeling herself, she covered her eyes and began bawling like it was the end of the world. "Waaahhh! Tian Tian, Tian Tian! Listen to me! Please, just listen to me! He forced me! He really forced me!" She could only throw the dirty water on Gu Yan and hope the man understood her intention. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any way to salvage the situation... Unfortunately, Gu Yan wasn't on the same wavelength as her. He turned to the bubbling woman with an astonished expression on his face and when he heard her words, he broke into a tow

"Hello, Aunt Hong." Qing Yue embarrassedly greeted, baffled at the unexpected warmth of the other. She hadn't even seen the woman once in the past five years, so where did the deep love and affection come from? Was she going through a phase? "Little Qing Qing, you met your Aunt Hong. Aren't you going to meet your Aunt Si?" "Why just Aunt Si? Aunt Mei is here as well." "Your Aunt Gu..." "Let Aunt Rui see..." What's going on? Why are these Aunts more enthusiastic today than my previous birthdays? Is the 18th birthday really that special? Suddenly surrounded by a flock of fawning and over-affectionate aunts, Qing Yue felt her head spin from the mixture of perfumes and noisy chatter. "Alright, alright. Stop crowding the kid, will you? Qing Qing, come to Uncle Wei. Otherwise, your Aunts will suffocate you to death." At this time, the gruff voice of a laughing middle-aged man resounded from the far end of the hall.Read more
