“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.
“Besides, she comes from an influential and wealthy family from South River City while you’re just a penniless man from the countryside. You’re not good enough for her. If you continue harassing her, you’ll only cause her more harm than good. You'll even bring more trouble to yourself.”“Do you think that I like Miss Cooper?” Chase asked with a stoic expression.“Don’t you?”Quinn scoffed coldly and said, “I know what you’re thinking. I was the one you were initially targeting, but after you got rejected, you turned your attention to Bianca because you didn't want to live an ordinary life.“All you want is to use her family connections to get rich and climb up the social ladder without much effort.“Bianca’s future husband has to at least be a talented and promising young man from South River City, not someone like you who's ordinary and lazy yet dreams of being on top of the world.” Chase could not help laughing at Quinn acting so righteously and being full of herself.“What a
Edward and the others watched in disbelief as Bianca helped William up the stage.It was her!That was the woman that they had insulted previously!What… What was she doing on the stage? She looked like she had a close relationship with William too!Could she be from the Coopers?This chilling thought suddenly occurred to them as the realization hit them at the same time.That was when they saw Bianca helping William up the stairs while saying, “Be careful, Grandpa.”It was like a bomb had suddenly gone off in the minds of Edward and the others. Their minds were buzzing from the revelation.She really was a Cooper!Edward’s face turned pale, and he could not stop trembling. He almost peed his pants.He finally understood why Frank was so angered to the point that he had to be hospitalized. It was because he got sick from being too shocked.Raymond and Anna fell sitting to the ground as they trembled.The woman they had insulted was Bianca Cooper!They had called her a slut
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
A golden rune floated in Chase's palm, shimmering with radiant energy.The rune collided with the rusted blade, scattering dazzling sparks into the air."What?!" the elder exclaimed, his pupils constricting."Do you think a piece of worthless scrap metal can harm me? How laughable." Chase shook his head. He flicked his fingers, and the golden rune expanded to the size of a hand. In an instant, it transformed into a blazing flame that radiated intense heat. It spread in all directions."What kind of technique is this?"The elder's face twisted in fear. He leaped back, trying to escape, but the golden flames spread rapidly as they devoured everything in their path. Grass and leaves turned to ash in moments, and even the soil melted under its heat.When a single ember touched the elder's body, smoke began to rise from his flesh, causing him immense pain. The flames were not just hot—they burned through flesh and blood with ease."No! This fire is too dangerous. I can't let it touch
The elder was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he had witnessed.The Nine Dragons Shield was a forbidden technique that consumed immense amounts of vital energy to activate. Even martial arts saints who used it would suffer grave consequences, potentially causing their cultivation level to permanently regress."Who are you?" he demanded."Who I am doesn't matter," Chase replied, his tone calm yet piercing. "What matters is that I can kill you."Another bolt of lightning crashed down from the heavens.Chase stood still, unmoving, letting the lightning strike his body.Blood spattered as his clothes were shredded. His shoulders and back bore scorch marks from the impact. He smirked and said, "Not bad. This level of lightning barely affects me."As soon as he spoke, Chase launched a punch. The force of his strike condensed into a tangible blast. It was like a meteor crashing down, slamming into the elder's chest.A dull thud echoed as the elder's body convulsed violently
