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
The Coopers’ courtyard was decorated with lights and colorful banners early in the morning. It looked very lively.The banquet was today, so there were streams of luxury cars and guests coming over. Almost every street in South River City was congested.Countless big shots who could cause significant influence in South River City were here as well.Aside from that, the guests from other places in Bactria had also made the traffic impenetrable.Everyone wanted to see the amazing Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate who saved Mr. Cooper's life.Chase practiced and meditated inside Villa No.1 in Imperial Dragon Bay until Bianca interrupted him.“Mr. Collins, the banquet is about to start, so I’m here to pick you up.”Chase opened the door and was blown away by Bianca’s stunning outfit. Her elegant light-colored gown was both low-key and dignified, accentuating her seductive figure perfectly.Chase stole a few glances at her and complimented, “Miss Cooper, you look absolutely gorgeous toda
How was Chase, that country bumpkin, so lucky to be noticed by such a beautiful woman?After meeting his expectant gaze, Bianca laughed and said, “Friends? Who do you think you are?”Edward was a little annoyed and responded, “You’re so unappreciative of favors.“I'm an executive of a company and also the son of the owner of Triumph Hotel in South River City. I'm pretty well-known here.“I want to know how I'm worse off than that country bumpkin and why you're always siding with him?”Edward pointed at Chase. He did not bother hiding the contempt on his face. “You want to know why?” Bianca furrowed her brows.Edward nodded. “Of course!”Bianca laughed. “Well then, listen up. To me, you don't even have the right to kiss Mr. Collins’ feet!“Even your father is nothing to me, let alone you!”“You!” Edward was furious!However, Bianca paid him no attention as she led Chase into Dragon Lake Manor.The luxurious manor was decorated grandly. Countless magnificently-dressed big sh
“Don’t try to scare us.”Edward chuckled in contempt. “She’s just an escort. What can she do to us?”Chase did not want to pay any more attention to them. He turned around and found that Bianca had vanished.He walked to somewhere quiet and sat down.A Bentley drove over to the entrance of the Coopers’ villa and stopped by the road.When the door opened, Quinn, donning a white dress, stepped out with her secretary, Elaine.Bianca had been waiting for them for some time. When she saw them, she went over with a smile. “Quinn, you’re here.”Quinn looked haggard. “Bianca, can I ask you a question?”“What's with the formality? What is it?” Bianca rolled her eyes at Quinn.Quinn quickly said, “Everyone’s saying that the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate saved your grandpa. Is it true?”“Yeah.” Bianca nodded.“I knew it!”Quinn was thrilled. Suddenly, she grabbed Bianca’s hand and said, “Bianca, my grandpa’s condition is getting worse. The reason I'm here is to get the Medical Saint of
Once the man said that, Edward inhaled sharply. He felt goosebumps rising all over his body.Ordinary folk could only hold power while he could control life and death?What a badass!Riley’s heart was racing upon hearing that. To her, the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate was truly a big shot.Frank said with admiration on his face, “Mr. Lewinski is right. We can’t claim connections or offend someone like the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.”At the same time, he added, “So, you'd better behave yourself. Remember, don’t offend anyone, or else I won’t be able to protect you.”Edward and his group nodded.“Mr. Wright, do you know who the young man they’re going to promote is?” Anna asked.“Do you need to ask? It’s Edward, of course!” Raymond said, fawning over Edward.Even though Edward was over the moon, he still looked at his father nervously.Frank chuckled mysteriously. “From what I know, the people present are all the big shots of the older generation and also the sons and daughte
Edward was stunned by the slap. He held his face and asked stupidly, “Dad…”“Get lost!”Frank roared, “You punk, don’t call me Dad. From now on, I’m cutting all ties with you!”After he said that, he clutched his chest. His face was extremely pale, and his body was shaking violently.It was unknown if he was too angry or scared. At that moment, his vision turned black, and he fell unconscious.The sudden scene scared Edward and his group.“Dad, what’s going on? Don’t scare me!“G-Go call for an ambulance!”After some commotion, Frank was finally sent to the nearest hospital.What happened?Edward and the other two had not come back to their senses.Edward looked at Jason Lewinski and asked, “Mr. Lewinski, my dad…”“Don’t. Don’t try to claim connections with me. I don’t want to be dragged down with you.”Jason's face turned pale. After he said that, he ran away and bought a train ticket back home that very night.At that moment, the group realized something was very wrong.
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
The man had just commented to his junior when a sharp sword aura came swishing toward him. It sliced off half of his fringe, and his knees buckled from fear. If the sword had moved an inch further, his skull would have been sliced off."Shut your trap!" Clive's cold voice was heard. It was filled with murder. He had ignored all the criticisms directed at him. However, he pulled his sword out when the man insulted Rania."This is my woman. Insult her again, and I promise you will not see the sun rise tomorrow." Clive turned and continued walking forward without looking back.When he finally vanished from sight, a tall, dashing man came forward with a sword behind his back."Is Clive around?"He asked the two Universal Holy Land disciples who had just seen Clive."Clive just went inside to see the master, Skyler," one of them replied respectfully."Oh. What a coincidence. Um… What happened to your hair?" Skyler suddenly noticed the fringe of the disciple answering him had been slic
"If everything goes as planned, I'll be heading to the Holy Path with Chase Collins." Yara put the small, white bottle into his storage pouch as he spoke in a low voice."There's no hurry for this. I need to make proper arrangements at the Evil Shadow Sect first. Carla secretly set up the Severance Formation at the locations where Norm Weber and I were cultivating in isolation. She wanted to trap us inside and see us dead! I must have my revenge for that."The Holy Path won't happen immediately. You'll make it there eventually. Don't worry too much about it."Tack's eyes turned sharp at the mention of Carla. He and Norm had taken pains to nurture and groom Carla to become the sect master of the Evil Shadow Sect.Yet she showed ingratitude to their efforts by trying to kill them just to be with that rascal, Fallon Locke.Carla was a heartless woman who had no loyalty or filial piety. Such a vicious woman should find it lucky if all they did for revenge was to kill her.Tack saved N
Yara returned to his room at the inn after exiting the tournament venue. He checked the room carefully for any signs of intruders entering his room. He then took out a talisman from his storage pouch and blew gently on it.The talisman started to burn, and gentle smoke slowly billowed in the air. A formation formed instantly, and the entire room was cut off from the outside world.After that, Yara took out a messaging talisman. He touched the image of an old man on it. The next moment, the old man's image projected in front of him. He looked to be about 50 or 60. The old man had a head of white hair and a white beard. He was also wearing a big, red robe as he held a chowrie in his hand."Chase Collins took the bait, master," Yara said respectfully to the old man."Good job. You'll be rewarded well once this is done." The old man whisked his chowrie and laughed. He added, "Get his primordial essence, understand?"He lowered his voice when giving the instruction. When he bent his hea
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
"An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe
However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi
"Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
