"Impressive, Chase. I underestimated you. Since you're so eager to take on challenges, let me see just how strong you really are," Davy Scovel said, his voice filled with anger.Ignoring the rules of the arena, he decided to personally teach Chase a lesson to regain the sect's honor."What? An elder of the Floating Cloud Sect is going to fight? Chase is in real trouble now," spectators murmured while feeling taken aback.It was not just about the elder's power; everyone knew that anyone who could become an elder of a sect had once been a top genius in their youth."Chase, do you have any last words?" Davy taunted, clearly confident he could easily take down Chase.It was evident he did not intend to merely capture Chase—he meant to kill."Such confidence, Elder Scovel. Even I find it admirable," Chase replied, releasing his own domain, which began clashing with Davy's in the arena.Chase's domain radiated a red glow, while Davy's was pure white. The two domains battled for domin
"What do you mean, take Chase down? I think Chase might actually beat Elder Scovel. Even though he's an elder, the highest one can go while walking this world is peak martial lord. Chase might already be one of the strongest out there!" someone argued."Impossible! Chase is still so young. There's no way!" A supporter of the Floating Cloud Sect could not accept this idea."Even if he can't defeat Elder Scovel, he's definitely on the same level," the person insisted."The world of cultivation is about to change. Chase's rise is unstoppable," someone concluded.While the crowd below buzzed with debate, Chase found that he and Davy were at a stalemate after exchanging a hundred moves. He began to consider whether to use his third domain in battle. Earlier, he had combined his Slayer's Domain and Magma Domain into his attacks. Although Murdoch had repeatedly warned him not to reveal too much, Chase was eager to defeat this elder of the Floating Cloud Sect in front of everyone.Amid
Seeing Skylar standing before him, Davy immediately threw out a harsh accusation."Ol' Maloney, you deal with him. I'll handle Chase." Skylar dismissed Davy's words entirely, not even bothering to acknowledge him.Hearing this, the ragged old man gave Chase a glance before flying over to Davy's side, where they began to talk privately."You troublemaker, always stirring things up!" Skylar chuckled as he approached Chase. It was clear he was not genuinely upset. "So, what happened this time? How did you end up fighting that old fart?""Nothing much," Chase replied casually. "The Floating Cloud Sect caused trouble at Herb Hall's arena, so I decided to challenge their arena."Their defenders weren't that tough, and I took them down in a few moves. But when I beat the younger ones, the older guy wasn't too happy and decided to take matters into his own hands." Chase summed up the entire situation in a few words."Got it." Skylar nodded with a satisfied smile. "Just let me handle thin
Chase acknowledged that none of these old experts were simple. Still, as long as they did not provoke him further, he did not mind.If they did, well, he was not one to be trifled with either. After all, he had only used about half of his true strength earlier."Oh, by the way, sir, you can handle the spot we won. I'm going to check on Miss Summer and the others," Chase added.Initially, he intended to secure a spot for his Basalt soldiers. Yet given the situation, even someone as skilled as Trek would not be able to hold his own. It would only put Trek in danger. Hence, Chase decided to let Skylar take care of it as a gesture of goodwill."Alright, take care," Skylar replied. He was about to leave but then paused.He glanced upward and addressed the sky, "Alright, show's over. Scatter now, all of you, especially you two old farts who've been watching this whole time. Don't make me mad." With that, Skylar disappeared.Chase felt a bit puzzled—two old farts? Were others still watc
The moment Myles heard that Chase was not there to challenge the arena, his heart finally settled down.Otherwise, he would likely have ended up like the others from yesterday, unable to walk off the arena on his own.Wherever Chase went, everyone's eyes followed him, making him feel quite uncomfortable. Unable to endure the constant stares, Chase decided to head back to Herb Hall earlier than planned.Inside Herb Hall, after learning that Quinn and Hannah were there, Olivia decided to stay as well. Surprisingly, Skylar did not object to her presence.As soon as Chase stepped inside, he bumped into the three women just as they were about to leave. After a brief conversation, he found out that they planned to spend the day exploring Capital City.As the third sister, Hannah intended to show them around the city, ensuring Quinn and Olivia experienced the best sights and flavors Capital City had to offer.Seeing Chase, Hannah appeared quite surprised. "Little Rocky, aren't you a bus
Before they even reached the entrance, a rather elegant woman stepped out and approached the four of them."Hello, do you have a reservation?" Her tone carried an air of arrogance."Oh, we were just shopping and got tired, so we thought we'd come here for a meal. Do we really need a reservation to eat here?" Hannah replied, looking a bit awkward.She had not expected that they would need to book ahead just to dine at a restaurant."Do you think McKale is just some roadside diner? If you wish to dine here, you must make a reservation in advance."Even then, without the right status, we still might not serve you. I suggest you leave now and come back next time with a reservation," the woman responded, her tone not only self-assured but also carrying a hint of ridicule. It was as if she believed the four of them were just ordinary people."How dare you?! Do you even know who I am? A little restaurant like this dares to act so arrogant?!" Hannah could not take it any longer.She was
In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”
