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.
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
