Chapter 528: Lin Quan Starts, Shocks the World!
The number 10 jersey originally belonged to Cesc Fàbregas, but during last year's European Championship qualifiers, he gave it up to the true core of the team, Lin Quan. Although Lin Quan didn't care much about the number, whether it was 7 or 11, the number 10 jersey holds a special meaning. So, without hesitation, he accepted Fàbregas' gesture.
Before the match, the Italians had suspected that Lin Quan might play....

In the void, the golden cauldron gradually dissipated, leaving behind a pitch-black object, warm to the touch, which fell into Xiao Ze's palm. This Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe, warm from its creation, felt silky smooth like satin when held.
"If one didn't know better, it would be hard to imagine that this silken robe was crafted from the Ancient Devouring Insect Queen," Xiao Ze remarked, glancing at Xun'er....

Chapter 191: Breaking the Formation and Killing the Enemy
"Hummm!"
Countless black sound waves spread out from Magic Sound Mountain, covering the entire mountain like a web of black sonic waves. These sound waves, like massive black pythons, slowly wriggled around the mountain. Though they appeared calm, they carried an astonishing destructive force. Especially when the Yuan Gate elders infused their own energy into these black sound waves, their power doubled.

Afterward, Charles went to the Palace of Versailles, where he was received by an assistant to the French Minister of the Navy.

Charles certainly deserved such recognition—without the intelligence he purchased from a smuggler, the joint fleet might still be aimlessly searching the vast Mediterranean.
However, after the ceremony, a French o...
