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
Bianca walked over coldly under everyone’s gazes.When Anna and Riley saw her, they felt ashamed.It was because the woman in front of them was too beautiful, making them look merely like foil. Then, their eyes widened.Did they hear her correctly? Did she just say that Chase was her boyfriend?As Anna was lost in her thoughts, Bianca slapped her across the face coldly. “Didn’t you hear me?”The slap was very loud, causing Anna to stagger backward. She almost fell to the ground.Anna was stunned. She put a hand to her face and looked at Bianca in disbelief. “H-How dare you slap me?”Bianca ignored her and turned to softly say to Chase, “Mr. Collins, just slap her. You don’t have to waste your breath on her.”“I’ll kill you!”Anna thought she was about to choke from anger. After she let out a growl, she ran toward Bianca.Riley quickly stopped her and looked at Bianca’s icy face. She said, “How could you slap others for no good reason?”“It’s not my fault that she refused t
“To be honest with you, my name is Edward, and my father, Frank Wright, is the owner of Triumph Hotel,” Edward boasted immediately.He thought that Bianca would at least be surprised after hearing this. However, she did not have any reaction.Edward continued, “I wonder if you've heard that the Coopers in South River City are going to throw an extravagant banquet?”“Of course,” Bianca said, feeling stunned.“Did you receive an invitation?” Edward asked again.“Um, no,” Bianca said with a mocking grin.Edward immediately perked up. “Well, my dad was invited to attend the banquet, and he can bring five guests with him. Why don’t you give me your number and I’ll ask my dad to bring you along?”He had been beating about the bush just to get Bianca’s number.Unexpectedly, Bianca was not moved at all. Instead, she said with a faint smile, “Triumph Hotel, right? I'll remember that.”“Let’s go.” Chase peered at Edward as if he were mentally challenged and left with Bianca.“Hey, you
Chase's face turned bright red. He clenched his teeth and said, "How dare you insult me?! I won't let you off even after I die!"Scoot glared coldly back at him. He crouched to the ground and grabbed Chase's left hand. Flipping it, he began snapping the veins from the back of his hand.Soft snapping was heard. All Chase could feel was intense pain. The pain began to spread out from his palm, hurting him to the core.Chase howled from the horrible pain. His expression was contorted, and the veins on his forehead throbbed hard."You should feel lucky that I'm not killing you, Chase Collins. You wouldn't have survived past three seconds," Scoot said coldly before releasing Chase's hand. He left after that.He suddenly and quietly vanished from the forest.Chase sat on the ground, his throat gurgling with blood and his face scarily pale. He was breathing heavily while his eyes were filled with hatred.…A few days later, Chase arrived at a valley in order to become stronger.The v
Scoot moved fast, and sword flash shone brilliantly.There was a squelch, and a piece of bloody flesh flew into the air as hot blood splattered all over the ground.Chase screamed painfully as he quickly retreated. His head was covered with blood, and his face was pale. He lowered his head to look. A huge chunk of flesh has been cut off from his arm, revealing the horrifying sight of his bone. It was quite a terrifying sight.Chase held his wound as he looked at Scoot in shock. This man could actually immobilize him.What sort of strange skill was that?"You snuck an attack on me first, Chase Collins. Don't blame me for killing you!" Scoot spoke up coldly with murder in his eyes.A muffled bang was heard from a distance. The ground began shaking violently as trees fell.The look on Scoot's face changed. He looked in the direction deep inside the woods. The roar of a ferocious beast could be heard vaguely at a distance."There are actually ferocious beasts here!"A wary look ap
A typhoon suddenly appeared out of thin air.It came galing from the other side of the cliff, bringing with it a frightening chilling sword aura.Chase was alerted. He put his fingers together to form a mark in the air, and sword flashes burst with brilliance. They looked like a thousand fireflies had gathered.He flicked his fingers at the next second, and the sword flashes shot through the air.Even the air was sliced into pieces as a sharp yet deafening sound was heard. It was a terrifying strength that was strong enough to tear apart any martial artist with a cultivation lower than a martial god.However, Scoot was quick to react. He was instantly in defense mode."Get lost!"Scoot dealt a kick that burst with massive energy. He kicked away the sword flash."How can this guy be so powerful?!" Chase's eyes widened in disbelief. The sword flash he shot out had been blocked.He looked at Scoot with shock and bewilderment. He could not understand why Scoot would suddenly be so
Chase's figure moved with an ethereal grace, resembling a sword immortal from a fantasy tale."Stop! Leave the Profound Abyss Crystal behind!"Suddenly, thunder rumbled through the forest depths.Chase halted his steps and turned his head. From within the dense woods, a young man in a blue robe sped toward him with incredible swiftness."It's you?"Scoot Larsen's expression shifted slightly. He had not expected to run into Chase again here."Chase! You damned bastard!"Scoot cursed with a flicker of apprehension flashing in his eyes. He had encountered Chase once before and had witnessed him slay the Nether Ape."Trying to run? Too late!"Chase's voice rang cold as his figure vanished in an instant. He reappeared atop a towering tree several yards away and slashed his sword with deadly precision.A razor-sharp sword arc howled through the air, slicing through Scoot's battle armor like paper.Blood splattered.A searing pain tore through Scoot's back before the agony surged
Fern spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale as he staggered backward, and he barely kept himself from collapsing."This… This is impossible!" His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with both unwillingness and sheer terror.As a proud disciple of the Ghost Palace from the nether realm, how could he lose to a mere country bumpkin?Shame and rage burned within him. Grinding his teeth, he roared, "Chase Collins! You dare wound me?! You're dead!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase's eyes narrowed slightly.Without another word, he slowly drew his sword.With a swift swing, the blade slashed through the air, sending a brilliant arc of sword light sweeping forward like a cascading ribbon.Fern's expression twisted in horror. He scrambled to evade, but he was a fraction too slow. A deep gash tore across his chest, blood spilling down in crimson streaks.Sucking in a sharp breath, Fern clutched his wound. His face was drained of color, and sweat beaded on his forehead as he star
The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.Chase sat cross-legged, regulating his blood flow while sensing the vast and surging demonic energy within his body."The demon blood contains immense and pure energy. If I can refine it perfectly, my physical strength might break through its current limits and reach the peak!"His eyes narrowed, a sharp gleam flashing within them."Hmm? They found me this quickly?" Just as he was about to continue his training, he sensed something and looked outside.A sword hummed through the valley. A young man in black stood atop a cliff with a sword in hand."A martial artist… His energy is thick and powerful, far beyond others of his level. No wonder he was able to kill that beast. He truly lives up to the title of a top-tier genius."The young man's sharp gaze flickered with a trace of wariness. He was clearly shaken by the sheer strength Chase had displayed.He had just slain a demon wolf and reaped a bountiful reward. Yet now, he ha
Chase released his grip.The Black Fiend Bow returned to his grasp, and he swiftly nocked another arrow.The piercing sound of the arrow cutting through the air echoed as it tore through the night sky, carrying a terrifying force as it pursued its target.Blood splattered as a severed leg fell to the ground.A chilling scream rang through the forest as a shadowy figure plummeted from above.Chase's gaze remained cold as he stepped forward, closing the distance.When he got a clear look at the figure's face, his eyes narrowed in surprise. It was the old crone from the river's source!She was still alive!"You little bastard! You deserve to die! You should be dead!" The old woman, who had disheveled hair, glared at Chase with venomous hatred."Is that so?"Chase grinned while raising his arm. With a flick of his wrist, three more arrows shot out in rapid succession. In the blink of an eye, they shattered the old crone's remaining limbs, crushing her bones completely.The woman
Chase's face turned pale, his heart pounding wildly."This is…"He felt his entire body surging with boundless true essence, flowing like a relentless tidal wave.A strange and eerie aura surrounded him, shrouding him in a mist-like energy that made it impossible to see through or fully comprehend."Gosh!" Chase stood frozen in shock.For a moment, he felt as if he had become someone else entirely."Could it be…"A chilling thought flashed through his mind."The trace of demonic energy I absorbed… Was it carrying remnants of the Demon Ancestor's will?"He quickly pieced it together."The Demon Ancestor may have perished long ago, but fragments of his will must still linger. If I transfer that lingering consciousness into this purple skull emblem, then…"Chase took a deep breath. "That would be equivalent to having two lives."His luck this time was truly extraordinary. Not only had he discovered the Devouring Sky Demon Art, but he had also unexpectedly absorbed a remnant of
Chase furrowed his brows as he got lost deep in thought. "Could it be that the demonic race never truly perished but instead went into hiding, secretly passing down this forbidden art? First, I need to fully understand the Devouring Sky Demon Art before investigating that secret."With that decision made, Chase immediately began his closed-door training.Once cultivated to its peak, the Devouring Sky Demon Art could consume souls and refine them into demonic puppets with terrifying combat power.For Chase, this technique was a perfect match. "Devouring Sky Demon Art, First Layer!"With a single thought, new information flooded his mind.This was the fundamental incantation of the technique—nothing too obscure. After a quick review, Chase grasped it with ease.He extended his finger, allowing a drop of blood essence to fall onto the purple skull emblem.In an instant, blinding crimson light erupted from the emblem. It trembled violently, letting out sharp, anguished wails, as if
