Volume 8 Chapter 77 Handshake

readx;

There is no floating clouds in the clear sky, the thick blue sky is dyed by the sun, covered with a layer of light purple sunshine, and the water of thousands of miles of rivers reflects a few green snails, flowing east like a dream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the side of this big river, it is the goal of Fang Mingwei and others.

According to Obarth's information, the three top masters came here and settled in the vicinity. They wander on both sides of the river every day, as if there is some rare treasure here that attracts them.

Moreover, the masters who live near here also found that among them, there is a master of the spiritual department, who will choose a section of the river every day and carefully use his spiritual power to search for something.

That master controlled it very well, and his spiritual power was always searching within the river, and he didn't have any intention of provoking. Even if he encountered the spiritual force field of other masters, he did not take the initiative to infringe.

Of course, the ones with the highest level of spiritual masters on the Yunta Star are only level eighteen, and in the face of such a peerless master, after contacting it once, they naturally don't dare to go out again.

According to the comprehensive report of the Terrance family spies, these people did not seem to have come to avenge Gabriel, the former president of the Ammon Chamber of Commerce, but rather to take a leisurely vacation here. Although the spies had determined that the three men must have spotted someone around for special surveillance, they were not impressed at all.

From this point, it can be proved that these three people do not have much hostility towards the Terence family.

The Terrance family's supreme commander on the Junta Star even suggested letting them go, because after all, these three people were all nineteenth-level masters, and if they were really enemies, it would definitely not be a fun thing.

In fact, if it weren't for the Arden family's request, then the Terance family really didn't want to make a move.

Let's not talk about whether all three of them can be left behind, if one of them escapes unexpectedly, it will mean a big trouble for the Terrance family.

In addition, once it is done, it is a mortal feud with Mandy, the top powerful family of the Micha United Council.

Three level 19 masters, for any force, they are a huge force that cannot be replaced. Just think about the five elders in the Terrance family. If someone kills three of them, whoever they are will become the enemy's enemies of the Terrance family.

However, after the Arden family paid a huge price and the Presbyterian Church's research, Gwyneth advocated joining forces with the vigorous Arden family.

Fang Mingwei and the others tried their best to restrain their own aura, and several of them even took out the concealment technique, in such a situation, if it can still be detected, then it is called a ghost.

Glancing into the distance from behind a dirt slope, Vernon immediately withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the people around him, he took out a card reader, turned on the switch, and suddenly a vivid holographic topographic map appeared.

"Here, here and here, that's where the three of them are." Vernon pointed to the three locations and said, "It doesn't seem like it's easy to take down all three of them at the same time." ”

After all, those three people were super masters, although Vernon used the technique of concealment, he didn't dare to pay more attention, otherwise he would also be sensed by them.

When the three nineteenth-level masters gathered together, not to mention that the other masters did not dare to look at it openly, even the satellites and other detection equipment in the sky did not dare to deliberately pay attention to this place, otherwise it would also arouse the vigilance of these three people.

Before Fang Mingwei and the others came here, the supreme commander of the Terence family even ordered that they should not pay too much attention to this place, otherwise once they were angry, no one here would be able to resist.

If the three of them go on a killing spree on the planet, wreak havoc at will, and then leave, then no one will be able to find their traces again.

However, Vernon is a master of this after all, and it only takes a glance to take in the directions of all three people, and mark them out in the holographic map.

Fang Mingwei was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation spread along the river.

Among these people, they are all top masters, and without anyone's advice, they are all becoming more and more restrained, and suddenly even the breath of heartbeat has become nothing, almost as if it were the six stone statues.

Glancing at Punit and Mordon on the other side, Fang Mingwei admired it in his heart, although the two of them could not use the technique of concealment, but these two nineteenth-level masters had their own methods to avoid the search of others.

The mental fluctuations lingered nearby for a long time, and finally slowly spread along the surface of the river towards the upper reaches of the river.

A full hour has passed during this period, but in this hour, Fang Mingwei and the other six people just didn't move at all, they stayed in the other party's spiritual force field well, and none of them were discovered by the other party.

When the person's spiritual force field was far away, the six of them looked at each other and smiled, admiring the superb abilities of their partners at the same time.

Of course, the biggest reason why they were able to dodge easily was because the man didn't know that there were such a few masters who were not inferior to him nearby. That's why he focused most of his energy on the river, if he really concentrated on searching, then whether he could find it or not, or between the two.

Vernon pointed to a man on the topographic map and said, "I'll give this to me." ”

His face was indifferent, but he had an indescribable taste of confidence, and he was clearly confident. Although the other party is a nineteenth-level master, for the god of death who has greatly increased his strength, if he deliberately ambushes, then there is really a possibility of success in one fell swoop.

Vernon said that, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Mordon's body at the same time.

The nineteenth-level physical skill master said helplessly: "Okay, I am responsible for entangling the other person, but once he plans to escape, I am not sure to stop him." ”

"Don't worry." Etod laughed: "Whether or not we can intercept them is up to us." ”

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, and said with the same smile: "That nineteenth-level spiritual stupid will be handed over to me." ”

In just a few words, everyone had already divided their opponents.

In fact, if it is a hard fight with those three people, then only Fang Mingwei is enough. But if you want to keep all these three masters who have reached level nineteen, then even if it is an old level twenty powerhouse like Bridges and Master Potts, they may not be able to do it.

Defeating people and killing each other are completely different things, and the more people who are surrounded, the greater the possibility of accidents, so although Fang Mingwei and the others occupy a great advantage, they still dare not be careless.

"I'll go first, and I'll do it in twenty minutes."

As soon as the words fell, Vernon had disappeared in place, his movements were extremely solemn, but in the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if he had suddenly turned into a breeze and drifted away.

Fang Mingwei's eyes suddenly opened, and he sighed in his heart, this old guy is really incredible.

This way of walking Fang Mingwei is too familiar, this is Shi Sheng's housekeeping skills!

However, this method was the first to be used by Fang Mingwei, but it was only a few times, and it was immediately mastered by Vernon. It's no wonder that Etord thinks so highly of Vernon, it turns out that this old guy really has a super talent that no one can match!

Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, Fang Mingwei and Mordon glanced at each other, and then, Fang Mingwei took out a medallion from his identity ring and pinned it on his chest. The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, and a powerful momentum emanated from their bodies, which immediately attracted the attention of the other party.

The two of them walked out of the hill and walked straight in the direction of the spiritual master.

The three of them didn't make any panicked moves, they just moved closer a little, and the momentum on their bodies was a little stronger, but other than that, they didn't show much hostility.

Fang Mingwei sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that these three people really did not come to avenge Gabriel, and looking at their appearance, he would never have imagined that he and the others wanted to kill them.

The spiritual master's gaze quickly locked on the round card on Fang Mingwei's chest, and he suddenly smiled and said, "It turned out to be the elder of the Terence family, it's really disrespectful." ”

Fang Mingwei said with a smile: "You're polite, may I ask who the three are......"

"Contemptible Burundi, these two are Rose and Emile, we are the Mandy family from the United Council of Silverheart Micha" Burundi's face was full of smiles, but in the depths of his eyes was cold.

Fang Mingwei pretended to be silent for a moment and asked, "Are the three of you coming from the distant Silver Heart for sightseeing?" ”

Burundi suddenly smiled and said, "You should be Mr. Fang Mingwei of the Terence family." ”

His eyebrows raised slightly, Fang Mingwei was not surprised that the other party knew his origin, if the other party was not prepared before coming to the third cantilever, then Fang Mingwei would not believe it.

"Yes, it's despicable."

Burundi bowed to him and said, "Mr. Fang, we came to the third cantilever this time to bring the friendship of the Mandy family. ”

Fang Mingwei's face showed a surprised expression at the right time, and he asked, "Aren't you here to avenge Gabriel?" ”

"Revenge?" Burundi sneered disdainfully, and said: "That stupid pig of his, he would provoke the elders of the Terence family with no eyes, that is simply innocent, how can we avenge this stupidity?" ”

As if seeing the suspicion in Fang Mingwei's eyes that had not completely disappeared, Burundi became more and more sincere: "Mr. Fang, if the Mandy family really wants to be the enemy of your family, then will the three of us still wait for you here?" ”

Fang Mingwei's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "You are here just to wait for us?" ”

"Exactly." Burundi said solemnly: "Since the first day we came, we have been targeted by the spies of your family, but we have always maintained restraint, I think through this period of observation, you should be able to understand our sincerity." ”

Nodding slightly, Fang Mingwei had countless thoughts in his heart, and he said, "Dear Mr. Burundi, according to our observations, you are not just expressing sincerity here......

Burundi seemed to have understood what Fang Mingwei meant, he laughed a few times, and said: "Mr. Fang, let's be honest, we came here, in addition to wanting to express our goodwill, we also hope to be able to cooperate with your family wholeheartedly. ”

"Cooperation?" A hint of sarcasm flashed in Fang Mingwei's eyes.

"Yes, although your family has dealings with the Arden family of the Micha United Council, don't you want to hear about our Mandy family's conditions?" Burundi smiled slyly, and there was a strong self-confidence in the smile.

Fang Mingwei pretended to groan for a while and asked, "What conditions?" ”

"Although the Arden family has been established for a relatively short time, the wealth they have is definitely second to none, even if it is our Mandy family, it may not be able to compare."

"Oh......" Fang Mingwei had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be moved.

Burundi cursed in his heart, what a lord who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles!

"Mr. Fang, you may not know that the reason why the Arden family was able to develop was because they had received nearly half of the property of a huge empire, otherwise they would not have developed to such a point in just five thousand years."

Fang Mingwei hesitated, of course he understood that since the master of the Arden family had betrayed his motherland, but in the end he married the daughter of the kingdom, so it was natural that a part of the country's wealth would flow into his pocket.

"What does Mr. Burundi mean by that?" Fang Mingwei stared at Burundi's gaze tightly and asked.

"Hehe, we want to play a show with your family, as long as everything is normal, we can definitely empty out nearly half of the Arden family's wealth. We are willing to share it fairly with your family. ”

Fang Mingwei's heart suddenly moved, and he secretly called luck in his heart. Fortunately, this time he came in person, if it was Obart, then after hearing this, I am afraid that he will definitely be tempted.

Although the net profit of ten years of trading is huge, compared to a quarter of the Arden family's wealth, that is, the lice on the elephant's side, it is not worth a penny at all.

To be honest, this wealth must be unimaginable. If it wasn't the Arden family that they were dealing with, then Fang Mingwei was really a little hesitant.

But since their opponent is the Arden family, and what is even more terrifying, even Patrick can't help but take action himself.

In this case, even if Fang Mingwei was ten times greedy, he would not dare to stretch out his hand.

With an extremely regretful sigh in his heart, Fang Mingwei asked, "I can't make the decision on this matter, but I can submit it to the Council of Elders and the head of the family, and if it is possible, then we will discuss it at that time." ”

When he said this, Fang Mingwei could clearly sense Douglas's dissatisfaction in his mind. However, in this case, the old gentleman still gave him a face and did not go crazy.

Fang Mingwei's reply is not unexpected by Burundi, if Fang Mingwei takes care of everything, then it will arouse people's suspicions.

Burundi said a few words of humility, Fang Mingwei's gaze swept around the neighborhood a few times, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Mr. Burundi, you have come to this planet, is there really nothing else?" ”

Burundi's face changed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Mr. Fang, we are here, in addition to discussing matters related to cooperation, I also have a little personal matter. But these little things don't need to be done......"

Fang Mingwei smiled, he suddenly understood that there was nothing to say from this gentleman's mouth.

Looking at each other at the same level, Fang Mingwei's smile carried the most natural sense of peace: "Okay, Mr. Burundi, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." ”

With that, he stretched out his left hand to the other party, palm slightly downward, as if to shake hands with him.

Burundi's heart suddenly swelled up with a bad premonition, but looking at the sincere gaze, there was really no flaw. After a slight hesitation, he extended his left hand.

When the two hands shook each other, he was still puzzled in his heart, why did this Mr. Fang stretch out his left hand, could this be the special etiquette of the head of the Terence family?

After seeing Fang Mingwei stretch out his left hand, Mordon's pupils condensed for a moment.

The eyes of the three people behind the hillside widened at the same time, and the few people who knew the details immediately understood that this kid was not at ease.

The two hands were clenched together under the gaze of several people.

The smile revealed at the corner of Fang Mingwei's mouth slowly retracted, he looked at the other party quietly, and said, "Mr. Burundi, you know that I am the elder of the Terence family, so do you know the identity of the person next to me?" ”

Burundi only felt that one of the other party's palms seemed to be made of steel, and he couldn't pull it back for a while, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but he couldn't figure out why the other party would have such a bad performance since he had already expressed his kindness.

Glancing at Mordon, Burundi reluctantly smiled and said, "This ...... I guess it's your personal bodyguard, Mr. Mordon. ”

"yes!" Fang Mingwei let out a long sigh, it seems that these people did do a detailed investigation before coming here, but some things still can't be investigated, otherwise they will definitely not meet with them peacefully.

Slowly leaning forward a little, Fang Mingwei lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Burundi, Mordon is my guard, but he is a disciple of Mr. Patrick......

Burundi's brow furrowed slightly, a name that may have been famous five thousand years ago, but today it has declined. However, as a long-time enemy of the Arden family, Burundi quickly remembered the origin of this man.

His eyes bulged out like goldfish, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, and said: "Actually, your conditions are really good, if it weren't for this old man, we would have cooperated with you, it's a pity." ”

A wave of black suddenly spread from the second-hand junction, emitting an incomparably powerful suction.

Burundi gritted his teeth and flipped his right hand, like a cut off his left arm.

However, at this moment, he saw the cold disdain in Fang Mingwei's eyes.

His heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a huge unimaginable gravity on his body, and at this moment, even his powerful spiritual power was compressed into a small square inch and could not move.

Then, an extremely rare scene appeared in front of everyone, Burundi's body instantly became smaller, as if the water in his body had been drained by countless pumps, and finally it was like a loach "swishing" into Fang Mingwei's left hand.

Burundi's side Ross opened his eyes, he was originally a nineteenth-level physical master. But no matter who suddenly sees such a strange and unimaginable thing, there will be a moment of sluggishness.

In fact, not to mention him, even Mo Erdong and the others, who had already been mentally prepared, were numb in their hearts at this moment, and they were very taboo about the black hole in Fang Mingwei's hands.

But fortunately, they reacted one step ahead of time.

Mordon's body turned into a bolt of lightning, and he punched Rose in the head, until the punch reached his body, Rose woke up under that strong pressure, he hurriedly waved his hand to meet him, and the two fists collided, Rose snorted in pain, and flew backwards.

However, from beginning to end, his gaze was always firmly locked on Fang Mingwei, and there was an irrepressible look of horror in his eyes.

No matter how calm he was, but suddenly he saw a master who was not inferior to himself being "eaten", and his heart was inevitably shocked, although Fang Mingwei "ate" the other party with his hands, but this effect seemed to be no different.

Rose's footsteps did not stop, turning into a bolt of lightning, and he was about to flee far away, as long as he pulled away from him, then it would be difficult for the opponent to catch up with him.

Unfortunately, as soon as his body rose into the air, he felt a pain in his head, as if two huge needles had pierced his head, which made him feel painful.

At this moment, he immediately understood that it was two super-powerful spirit masters who were sending a surprise attack on him. And what frightened him even more was that the level of those two spiritual masters did not seem to be below Burundi, because they had already caused him great damage.

As soon as he bit his teeth, he had already bitten the tip of his tongue, and the great pain had brought out a powerful potential in him.

The internal strength of his whole body was lifted in an instant, and even his body seemed to be painted with a thick layer of red.

A punch was struck downward, and the powerful internal strength shook the counterattacking Mordon away, and after stimulating the strength of his whole body, his momentum exceeded the limit of the master of the same level in an instant.

However, everyone knows that although he looks majestic at the moment, it is a trapped beast battle that overdraws his vitality, and even if he can escape successfully, he will be hurt that is difficult to heal. The level of physical skills of the light ones fell by one or two levels, and the serious ones suffered injuries, and it was over.

It was precisely because Rose used this method of losing both that he was able to move under the mental pressure of the two nineteenth-level spiritual masters, and he repelled Mordon at once.

He could, but Mordon wouldn't have followed his example and launched a counterattack.

Fighting with others on the premise of having a big advantage is not called bravery, but idiocy.

Seeing Mordon retreat, Rose's body was about to rush forward, when he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in front of him, his feet were firmly embedded in the ground, and his eyes were staring at half a meter in front of him.

There, there seemed to be countless tiny cracks in the void space, and these spatial cracks that were constantly changing forms brought him a great impact.

He fled quickly to one side of his body in the other direction, without the slightest hesitation.

He knew that if he couldn't get away from this place before he ran out of potential, then the only thing that awaited him was death.

Punit behind the dirt slope smiled slightly, and the space controller in his hand moved slightly, and those flickering cracks suddenly disappeared.

However, just a moment after the crack disappeared, a palm silently imprinted on the back of Rose's heart.

Spiritual power and internal strength are condensed under high-speed vibration, and the power that bursts out in an instant of the one-hit technique is far greater than the ** tolerance limit of a nineteenth-level master who was injured first.

Rose's body flew into the air, and with a bang, it turned into a rain of blood, completely dissipating without a trace.

Etod stood calmly on the ground, with a faint smile on his lips.

In the distance, the last level 19 master Emile let out a loud shout, and he ran towards the distance, but his head suddenly flew high, as if he was being pulled by something, getting higher and higher......

His body swept away a thousand meters like lightning before he collapsed with a bang, and there was too much unwillingness and disbelief in those eyes that had not yet closed.

Vernon walked out of where Emile had been standing, and Fang Mingwei gave a big thumbs up.

Worthy of being the king of killers, he not only silently approached Emile's side, but also used a blow technique at the best time. Not only that, but he even calculated Emile's subsequent reaction, and used the thin thread in his hand to prepare in advance, but on the way Emile fled, he was cut off by the thin thread.

With just a small joint error, it would not have been possible for him to achieve such a great result.

Such means are enough to break anyone's heart.

Fang Mingwei chanted a spell in a low voice, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and the two souls were instantly included in his mind.

Although Burundi refused to say what he was here for, as long as Fang Mingwei had the ability to control his soul, he would not care about the other party's life and death and confession.

Several people reunited together, Fang Mingwei looked at the two broken corpses, and said, "The nineteenth-level master has nothing, and it was solved by us all at once." ”

Vernon and the others rolled their eyes almost at the same time, and they almost choked to death on the spot by his words.

The strength of a nineteenth-level master is definitely not to be underestimated by anyone.

A single Rose would require Mordon, Iverson, Punitt and Etod to join forces and be killed by surprise attacks.

Once a master of this level is desperate, the powerful destructive power caused by it is by no means comparable to that of a master of the same level.

If it weren't for Master Punitt's use of the Space Controller to block his path, coupled with Etord's silent, powerful blow, maybe Rose would have really escaped.

This is one person desperately, a hundred people can't stop him, if he doesn't even want his surname, then what else can stop him.

As for Emile, she was secretly targeted by Vernon, this old killer has no other skills, but this kind of work is indeed very human.

When the dual-lineage nineteen planned to assassinate a single-lineage nineteenth-level master by unscrupulous means, the success rate was still guaranteed to a certain extent. However, it can be seen from Emile's eyes that he would rather die than close his eyes, that he is definitely unwilling to die.

Probably he didn't believe it until he died, such a powerful master would do such a thing without regard for his identity, so he would die so blindly.

Of course, the most depressed of these three people died was Burundi, who was sucked into the black hole by Fang Mingwei.

If this nineteenth-level spiritual master knew that an ordinary handshake would cost him his life, then he would definitely not reach out!

It's just that there is a black hole hidden in the hand......

Don't say it's him, even if the heads of his son, son, uncle and nephew are connected together, they will never guess it.

Vernon stepped forward and patted Fang Mingwei's shoulder gently, and said helplessly: "Mingwei, this time I can leave the three of them at the same time, pure luck, I think next time is basically impossible." ”

"yes!" Master Punit sighed deeply and said, "Killing three nineteenth-level masters in a row, if it was before, I would never have imagined it. ”

Iverson smiled slightly, and said, "Master Punit, this time it's really thanks to you, if you hadn't laid the spatial rift beforehand, then this Rose would have really escaped." ”

The corners of Punit's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Since things have been invented, of course they have to be used." But I didn't expect that Rose to be so astute and able to detect the existence of a spatial rift in that situation, if it weren't for Mr. Etoard's timely action, hehe......"

Fang Mingwei glanced at Pengit and suddenly asked, "Master, who asked you to prepare the spatial rift in advance?" ”

"No one." Master Punit was stunned and said, "Before coming here, Vernon and I studied the environment in which this function should be used to maximize its effectiveness, and this time it was just a rehearsal. ”

Fang Mingwei and Iverson exchanged a look, thinking back to the time when he first met Master Punit, he even did not hesitate to sell his body to the Fang family for the sake of a Mo Li. But look at the dense layout of his current layout and the sinister intentions......

Sure enough, it is the black who is close to ink, and the person who stays with Vernon will be somewhat polluted by him!

Glancing at Etod again, whose expression on his face had never changed, a thought arose in the hearts of the two of them at the same time, there is really a disciple and a teacher. Looking at the final blow, whether it is the control of the timing or the concealment in advance, you can see where Vernon's skill is transmitted. If it weren't for the fact that Vernon's cultivation is obviously higher than that of the teacher, then the name of the number one killer really doesn't necessarily belong to Vernon.

Iverson and Fang Mingwei had just communicated through the spiritual imprint, and after cutting off the connection with each other, Iverson looked at Fang Mingwei with a somewhat different gaze.

This Fang Mingwei used to be such an honest child, but now......

Holding a black hole and shaking hands with others, grandma's, it's really a typical deceitful person who doesn't pay for his life!

Mordon stepped forward silently and shot at these broken corpses, destroying them completely in an instant.

Then a few people left here leisurely, looking at the appearance of a few of them, no one would believe it, just now, they also cooperated to kill three nineteenth-level masters.

"Mingwei, do you know what they're doing here?" Vernon asked casually.

Fang Mingwei kept flipping through these records in his mind as he moved forward, although his eyes were slightly closed, but when he cultivated to his level, even without the help of his eyes, he could clearly reflect everything in the outside world in his mind through spiritual power.

"They are indeed here to unite with the Terrance family and calculate the Arden family." Fang Mingwei smiled and said, "The price they paid is indeed not small, if the Terence family suddenly turns around, the Arden family may really suffer." ”

"Oh......" Punit asked in surprise, "why would you refuse?" ”

Fang Mingwei smiled bitterly, among the few people in this, only Punit and Etod didn't know about Patrick, of course he couldn't say it clearly.

"Why?" Frowning slightly, Fang Mingwei said unreasonably: "Because I don't like them." ”

"What?" Is that a reason?

"These long faces are hateful, they really ruin my good mood, and they want me to do such a profit-seeking thing, of course I refuse."

Seeing the righteousness and awe-inspiring look on Fang Mingwei's face, Pengit gave a thumbs up.

Etod sighed slightly and said, "Mingwei, although your starting point is good, as the helmsman of a big family, you should think more about it in the future!" ”

Fang Mingwei immediately said respectfully: "Yes, the disciple understands. ”

However, in his heart, he secretly said: Actually, I also want to accept his conditions! A quarter of the wealth, which is much more generous than those misers of the Arden family. But the problem is, if I agree to this condition, I'm afraid that before they can make their money, Patrick's killer group will fire at me.

Once he thought of the killer group led by the old monster Patrick and composed of more than a hundred nineteenth-level super masters, Fang Mingwei's heart shuddered.

With such a powerful force, the Mandy family will definitely be unlucky.

Continuing to search for the purpose of the group of people coming in his mind, suddenly, Fang Mingwei's footsteps stopped.

He stood quietly in place, sensing the memories of the two souls, and even his body had a trace of irrepressible trembling, it turned out that Burundi and they didn't come here just to unite the Terrance family.

In fact, when they came here, there was a secret that no one could think of, if it weren't for Fang Mingwei's ability to control the soul, I am afraid that they would be kept in the dark forever.

(To be continued)
