When he saw Chase’s face, Ferb’s expression froze. Alarm, shock, and also disbelief appeared on his face at the same time.He let out a devilish growl and stared at Chase in resentment. “It’s you! I'll never forgive you even after I’m dead, you bastard!”“Die, then.”Chase smirked coldly and snapped Ferb’s neck.On the second floor of the basement, Quinn looked at the two burly men approaching her with a look of horror on her face. “W-What are you doing?”“What are we doing?”The man in the lead looked at her lewdly and said, “Miss Norris, everyone says you’re one of the four beauties of South River City. You truly live up to your title.“Even though Mr. Ferb said he wants to have you to himself, we’ve been watching over you the past few days.“So, shouldn’t you give us some benefits?”He emphasized the word ‘benefit’, his eyes filled with greed.“Y-You wouldn’t dare!” Quinn’s face turned pale as she started struggling.“Behave!”The man in the lead slapped Quinn hard acros
“Grandpa Gideon, the Quaids who killed you are all here. You can rest in peace now.“I know there are more people hiding in the dark, but it’s okay. I'll find all of them and then send them to hell to repent their sins.”Chase brought out the alcohol he bought while he was on his way over and placed it in front of the grave before leaving. …The first thing Quinn said upon waking up at the hospital was, “Rocky…”Once she saw where she was, she realized she was lying on a hospital bed.Meanwhile, Mandy, already in her uniform, was standing by her bed. “Quinn, you’re awake.”When she saw that Quinn was about to sit up, Mandy quickly helped her up. “Don’t move. The doctor said you have a fractured arm. You probably got it during the accident.”“Mandy, w-why am I here?” Quinn looked at the ward anxiously.Mandy told her what happened after she passed out.She said reluctantly, “Quinn, I almost got the masked man. I didn’t think he would…”“He left?”Quinn felt very frustrated,
Mandy felt sad looking at Quinn’s ashen face. She did not expect Quinn to have such a tragic past.She shook her head and said, “You didn’t commit any crimes, so why should I arrest you?“Your brother is the one who violated the law, so he should bear the consequences. We won’t falsely accuse the innocent, and we also won’t spare anyone who has committed a crime.“Quinn, if I manage to catch your brother again, I won’t go easy on him. I hope you can understand.”Manday hesitated before she spoke. After all, Quinn was her good friend, so she did not want their friendship to be affected.Quinn’s face turned very pale. Of course, she understood Mandy’s dilemma.Since things had escalated to this point, Quinn could only dry her tears and say, “Mandy, did you save the mentally unstable woman who was locked in the basement with me?”“Yeah, she’s in the hospital. I’ll take you to her.” After Mandy said that, she brought Quinn into the car.More than ten minutes later, they arrived at
“Miss Julia, don’t worry. I'll cure you.”As Chase looked at Julia’s sleeping face, he sobbed out the words, “After that, we’ll go find the rest of them. We can look after you when you’re old.”It was now nighttime.What happened to the Quaids shocked the entire South River City. Everyone could not believe the huge changes.Right now, everyone was wondering who the man in the bronze mask was.Mandy also got an order to arrest the murderer in a month so that they could calm down public opinion.At the same time, in a forest overseas, a white tiger weighing over 500 kg was staring fixedly at a man in black about ten meters before it. He was Tony Lutton.The white tiger seemed to have felt the dangerous air around Tony. It looked like it was about to pounce as it let out an earth-shattering roar.Tony stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, “You’re unlucky to have run into me, you beast.”Perhaps the white tiger understood him, so it roared and pounced on him,
Riley’s expression changed slightly as she said, “Dad, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to him?”“What did you say?”Henry roared, “You bullied Chase with Edward and the others. How dare you say you didn’t do anything wrong? Apologize to Chase right now or I won’t approve of your relationship with Edward.”After Henry said that, Edward’s expression changed as well.Riley’s expression changed, and she bit her lip. The next moment, she looked angrily at Chase and said, “I-I’m sorry.”She could not hold back her tears of grievance anymore. She turned around and ran back to her room upstairs to lock herself in.When did she bully Chase with Edward and the others? Chase refused to fit in, so that was why he was targeted.“Riley…” Edward wanted to follow her.However, Henry stopped him and said to Chase, “Chase, I asked you here to announce something to you. I’m about to marry Riley to Edward. What do you think?”“I wish them all the best.” Chase’s eyes froze be
Laura said excitedly, “This is great! Edward, if you're really the young man the Coopers will promote, we'll immediately hold a wedding ceremony for you and Riley.”Henry could only go along with what they were saying without giving any input. After leaving Henry’s house, Chase called Evelyn and asked her to sign the contract with him.He only wanted to do things with a clear conscience. When he first got to South River City, Henry had protected him multiple times. He would think of this as returning a favor to him.When he was about to return to his villa in Imperial Dragon Bay, his phone rang.It was from Quinn. “Chase, where are you?”“How did you get my number?” Chase asked in surprise.“That’s not important. Just tell me where you are.” Quinn sounded a little irascible. “My grandpa is awake, but he… He looks like he’s not going to make it, so I want to cancel our engagement while he’s still conscious.”“Alright, I’ll send you my location.” Chase sent her his location once
“Your grandpa is in very bad condition. I have to treat him now.”Chase stabbed the needle into Charles’ throat. At the same time, he passed some true energy into Charles’ body to prolong his life.“You’re crazy!”Quinn pushed him away and roared, “Why are you treating him when you don’t know anything? I'll never spare you if something happens to my grandpa!“Go! Get lost! I never want to see you again!”Chase smiled without saying anything. Then, he turned and left the villa.“Grandpa, how are you? You're scaring me…”Quinn lay before the bed. She was devastated as she looked at the unconscious Charles.At this moment, Charles’ doctors arrived.After examining Charles, the old man leading the group was surprised. “Huh? This is so strange. Mr. Charles’ organs have all deteriorated, but there's a magical power prolonging his life.”“Dr. Clocke, is there any hope for my grandfather?” Quinn asked nervously.Nathan Clocke thought momentarily and said, “Miss Norris, perhaps there
Even Bianca was mesmerized by Chase. At the same time, her heart was fluttering.She had seen a lot of people in her life, but this was the first time she saw someone as stunning as Chase.“Wow, Miss, your boyfriend is so handsome!” The saleswomen were looking at Chase with admiration in their eyes.Bianca’s face turned red when she heard the word ‘boyfriend’. Then, she said sweetly, “Get me this set and pack it up.”“Alright, please pay the bill here,” a saleswoman said with a grin.Chase did not have any opinions of his outfit because he only wore clothes that were clean and comfortable.While Bianca was paying, some women came into the store. When they saw Chase, they were mesmerized by his looks.Two of them came over with red faces and asked for Chase’s contact number, but Chase rejected them.One of the rejected women was not mad. Instead, she took out her phone and sent a message to her good friend.[Anna, come over here. There’s a hunk right where I am, and I guarantee
The wind whistled in the air as slash after slash of the sword swung down on Chase.Every swing was followed by a blood splatter."H-How is this possible?!"Jaden's eyes widened in disbelief.The guards he brought with him were elites of the Larsens. The one with the lowest cultivation among them was a stage-five martial arts saint.Such a team would be able to take down a castle anywhere."You're nothing but ants. How dare you even dream of killing me?!"Chase's dark hair billowed in the wind as he punched into the air. The power of the punch created a tremor that reverberated to every corner. A huge air wave surged, and all the guards collapsed.He clenched his fist. There was a bright, silver spear in his hand. He flung it out hard, and it shot through a wall ten feet away. It pinned Jaden on the shoulder.Jaden screamed and fell kneeling to the ground. His face contorted from the intense pain, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. There was a bloody hole on hi
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ryker yelled. "I'm the steward of this pharmacy, and you're asking me to kneel and apologize to some backwater nobody? I—"Before he could finish, a resounding slap landed on Ryker's left cheek, leaving it red and swollen."You ungrateful fool!" Jaden seethed with rage as his face twitched in fury. "Didn't you hear what I said? He's a martial arts master!""What?!" Ryker froze for a moment before his eyes widened in disbelief. "No, that's impossible! He doesn't look older than 20. How could he possibly be a martial arts master?""Hmph! This world is full of prodigies. I might not want to believe it, but the terrifying strength he displayed is no lie!" Jaden growled in a low voice."This incident must be contained. Write a resignation letter immediately and send it to headquarters. Say that your old illness has flared up, and you're requesting leave to recuperate at home.""What?" Ryker was dumbfounded.His father was asking him to resign? After toiling
"What do you intend to do?" Chase's expression grew wary.He fixed his gaze on the figure slowly approaching him. The man stopped just three feet away, his eyes narrowing as if he were trying to piece together a memory."Your aura… It feels familiar, as if I've encountered it before," Jaden murmured. His brows furrowed as he struggled to recall the sensation. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock."Could it be…" His voice trembled with a trace of fear. "You're Chase, the last remnant of the Collins family?"Chase smirked coldly. "Since you already know, there's no need for pretense. I came to your pharmacy today to seek justice—nothing more."Narrowing his eyes, Chase released a chilling aura that pressed down on Jaden like a crushing wave.Jaden's body trembled uncontrollably, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure. He fell to his knees in an instant.Ryker, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded. His father was the commanding steward of the pharmacy, yet he had just kne
"I…" The guards hesitated.The commotion had spiraled out of control, casting a negative light on the pharmacy. They dared not intervene recklessly now.Ryker, however, was furious. "How dare you?! This is not a place for you to act out!"He lunged toward Chase, only to be stopped by the guards. "Sir, we urge you not to get involved!""I'm the steward of this pharmacy! If such chaos occurs on my watch, none of you will escape punishment!" Ryker declared coldly.The pharmacy was owned by the Larsen family and managed directly under Ryker's authority."Mr. Larsen, this Chase fellow is a Pill Refiner. We can't afford to provoke him.""Yes, he's a Pill Refiner!"Several guards quickly defended Chase, fearing Ryker's wrath might end up implicating them.Hearing this, Ryker paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. "So, you're a Pill Refiner?"I think you're just a con artist! How could a mere nobody like you know anything about refining pills? To me, it seems you're pretending
The pharmacy attendants scoffed and sneered at the scene.Chase paid no attention to their foolishness. Without hesitation, he freed Myra from her restraints and supported her as they moved away from the commotion.During their brief confrontation earlier, Chase had already assessed Myra's condition. Her injuries were severe—her Sea of True Energy was shattered, her bones were fractured, her organs were damaged, and her foundation was nearly destroyed.If he had not arrived in time, her life would have been at serious risk.As Chase used his skills to heal Myra, he noticed something peculiar. He could detect a faint yet familiar aura on her.The realization sent shockwaves through his mind."Myra, what on earth happened to you?" he murmured softly while brushing her hair gently.At that moment, he sensed movement from the pharmacy.Turning around, Chase spotted Ryker walking toward him with an air of arrogance. The youth's eyes narrowed into slits, as though nothing in the worl
"Huh?"Hearing this, the young attendants in the pharmacy were stunned.This pharmacy belonged to the renowned Valley of the Medicine King within the martial arts domain. It was said to be backed by a martial monarch, a saintly master of both medicine and martial arts!The so-called Dr. Larsen was a descendant of the Larsen family. He was celebrated for his extraordinary knowledge of medicine and unparalleled medical skills."Where did this brat come from, causing trouble and disturbing the peace? Get out of here before I lose my patience!"A young man dressed in a blue brocade robe glared at Chase, scolding him harshly. This young man looked to be around 17 and had a handsome and refined appearance. He exuded an elegance befitting a noble scion.However, his expression was icy, and his eyes were sharp, reflecting intense malice and murderous intent."Mr. Larsen, you don't need to concern yourself regarding this matter. Please forgive him," said the green-robed guard captain out
Chase unsheathed his sword and struck with precision. A flash of sword light, sharp and unstoppable, swept through the air and pierced one attacker's chest."What?!"The remaining two were stunned, unable to believe the boy before them was far more formidable than they had anticipated."Die!"One of them charged forward, swinging a blade that sent a dazzling crescent of energy hurtling toward Chase's throat. Meanwhile, the other flanked him, launching a sneak attack.The two attackers coordinated flawlessly, their strikes merciless and intent on ending Chase's life.Chase raised his sword to block the fatal blow, then countered with a swift thrust.Blood sprayed as the one attempting a sneak attack failed to react in time, and his heart was pierced. He collapsed in a lifeless heap.Chase smirked coldly, withdrawing his sword as he stepped back. His gaze swept over the two corpses, and he shook his head.These black-clad men were weak—far inferior to Bryson. Their techniques we
"You..."Bryson's pupils contracted, his eyes brimming with terror and regret.Chase's expression remained cold. "It's over."Turning his gaze toward an elder in a black robe who had appeared unnoticed, he asked, "Were you sent to silence me?"With an arrogant look on his face, the elder sneered, "Surrender willingly and perhaps you'll suffer a little less."Chase's body erupted with thunderous lightning, illuminating him like a God of Thunder descending upon the mortal realm. With a powerful motion, he hurled Bryson's lifeless body aside.The black-robed elder coughed up blood as he staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with shock. Meanwhile, Bryson's body lay crumpled where it had landed, now lifeless."What overwhelming strength!" The elder's eyes narrowed, but he quickly composed himself and scoffed. "I admit I underestimated you. But don't think for a second that you can defeat me!"With those words, the elder's figure shot toward Chase. His right palm sliced thr
Hearing this, Bryson let out a cold laugh. "Oh? Myra Wallace is a direct descendant of the Kollins family? This won't be an easy task.""Don't worry," Bentley reassured him. "As long as you handle this, the rewards will far exceed your expectations."Bryson remained silent for a long while, then sighed and nodded. "Fine, I'll do it.""Thank you, Mr. Cabral," Bentley said gratefully."You're certain she's just a normal woman?" Bryson asked with a frown.Bentley nodded firmly. "Absolutely. From what I've gathered, she's just an ordinary person.""Very well. In that case, I'll prepare my men. Wait for my signal," Bryson replied, standing up and walking out of the hall.He headed directly toward the inner yard, moving without interruption until he entered a luxurious palace."Bryson?" A stunning young woman in a red dress was playing the cello. Hearing his footsteps, she quickly turned around.Seeing that it was him, her cheeks flushed with a shy, charming smile. "Bryson, what b
