The woman immediately left Chase and the others and walked toward the approaching man."Stop right there," Hannah called out. She was about to say more, but Chase stepped forward."Hannah, it's just a restaurant. Why bother? Let's find another place."With Chase's persuasion, Hannah finally let it go. "Quinn, Olivia, let's head somewhere else," she said as the four of them started to leave."Basalt's Collins! Is that really you?"A voice called out from behind, tinged with uncertainty.Chase turned around and realized the man who had stepped out of the luxury car was none other than Ronan, Kingston's younger brother.Seeing Chase's familiar face, Ronan quickly recognized him. He hurried over, taking large strides to reach him."Ronan, it's you. You didn't join your brother in training inside the secret realm?" Chase asked casually. Since Ronan was from the Salvatore family, Chase could not just ignore him."Oh, don't even mention that. Because of my brother, my father has give
Sensing Hannah's hesitation and reluctance, Ronan immediately realized that someone in the restaurant had upset Chase's friends. He shouted again, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear me? Clear the place out!"Seeing that the employee from before was remaining rooted in place, Ronan spoke once more."But sir, it's the peak dining hour, and we have a lot of customers inside…" the woman hesitantly replied."What? Are you saying my words mean nothing? If there are many customers, then tell them their meal is on the house. Now, get them to leave!" Ronan demanded, showing his sincerity."Forget it, Ronan. That's not necessary," Chase interjected. "My sister just heard your steak is excellent and wants to try it. A private room will be more than enough." He then turned to Hannah, giving her a reassuring look. "Hannah, since we're already here, let's give it a try.""Alright," Hannah finally agreed, her earlier hesitation fading.Once she agreed, Ronan personally led the
"How about this? I'll reserve this VIP room just for you from now on. Anyone who comes here and mentions your name will dine for free at McKale. I hope you'll honor me by visiting often, Basalt's Collins," Ronan said, acting as though he had scored a great deal, leaving Chase puzzled about his true intentions."What do you want? Just say it straight," Chase asked bluntly.Seeing Chase's straightforwardness, Ronan cautiously leaned in closer and said in a low voice, "Chase, I just need a favor from you. I know you carry weight with my brother and even my father. All I ask is that whenever they mention me, you'll say that I'm one of your men.""One of my men? What do you mean?" Chase was still confused."My father thinks I'm wasting my time and is planning to send me to the border to toughen me up... I don't want to go. This is my last resort. If you tell them I'm working with you, I guarantee they'll take me more seriously and reconsider sending me to the frontier," Ronan finally ad
Douglas said this shamelessly.Despite his tone of voice, everyone who heard it kept their heads low and stayed silent as if they had heard nothing."What are you waiting for? Take me there and kick them out!"Douglas spoke up haughtily when he saw this.The woman serving him had no idea what to say.At the thought of Ronan inside the private room, the woman knew she only had one choice. She had to lead Douglas there and let Ronan handle this mess himself.The woman no longer hesitated at this thought. She led Douglas and his men to the private room.Everyone burst into a heated discussion the moment Douglas left the hall."I can't believe Mr. Douglas came here for a meal too. This is scary. I'd better leave right now."Someone paid up and left in a hurry.There were others who were unaware of Douglas' identity and did not understand the implications.When they found out that Douglas was the successor of the Webers, the top influential family in Capital City, they got fright
"It's you!"Douglas was shocked to see Chase. He did not expect Chase to be one of those eating in the private room.Chase was the only person Douglas was afraid of.He was serious about killing Douglas when they were at Moonfall Hotel. Fear overcame Douglas once more when he came face-to-face with Chase. He had almost died at Chase's hands when he had his bodyguards with him the last time. This time, he had no bodyguards. All he had was Herbert, who was behind him. This was bad.Douglas was in danger. "I didn't know you were having a meal here. If it's you, I'll let this go. Goodbye!"Douglas turned to leave after that.They were both standing at the door.Due to this, only Chase and Douglas could see each other. The other people behind Douglas could not see inside the room.Herbert spoke up casually, "What's going on, Mr. Douglas? Are you backing out of there? Who is in there?"Herbert knew Douglas' temperament. If it were not someone absolutely powerful in there, Doug
Eve tried to explain things.Chase had a guess about what might have transpired.It was easy to figure out that since Eve's experience at Dragon Tiger Mountain, she had learned her lesson before leaving for Capital City and had made an effort to find out more information before approaching Douglas, which led to their meeting today.Enola quickly ran to Chase and hugged him around the arm.Even though she was one of Chase's big sisters, Enola always did what she liked."What are you doing here, Chase?" Enola asked curiously.Chase pointed into the room."I'm here with Quinn, Olivia, and Hannah to try out some local delicacies."Chase emphasized the word 'local delicacies' while glancing at Ronan, who was standing at the side. Ronan did not dare say a word when he met Chase's gaze."Hannah?"Enola knew about Quinn and Olivia but did not know Hannah.That was when Chase realized that Enola had no idea who Hannah was.He immediately introduced them, "This is our third sister, H
"Herbert, I have a plan. You need to help me hold down Chase Collins while I return to the Webers to get help. Don't worry. Once I get help, I'll come to rescue you right away!"Douglas transmitted his voice to Herbert, who was standing behind him. He tried to convince Herbert to risk his life. This was a matter of life and death, and Douglas hoped that Herbert would do something.Herbert ignored Douglas' voice transmission."It's only Chase Collins. I can't believe you're scared silly like this because of him. How embarrassing," Herbert said with disdain.He did not believe that Chase would kill the successor of the Webers in the restaurant.This was what Chase wanted. Before Herbert could react, Chase moved in a flash and attacked at great speed.By the time anyone realized it, Chase had appeared in front of Douglas with limitless power in his hand as his palm struck directly at Douglas' head."How dare you?!"It was only when Herbert saw it with his own eyes that he was forc
Herbert tried his best to talk his way out of this.If he could leave this place by paying the minimum price, he would make sure that Chase would pay back tenfold for it.Even though the Webers would come to Herbert to give an explanation for Douglas' death, anything was salvageable as long as he was still alive.This was Herbert's plan.That was when a flash of a sword was seen, and a transparent sword intent stabbed through Herbert's chest. Not only did the sword intent put a hole in his chest, but the surging sword intent also messed up the meridians in his body. It took only a while for his veins to be completely ruined.Herbert stared at the hole in his chest with disbelief.He had used all of his consciousness to focus on defending against any attack from Chase, but someone had attacked him from the back.Herbert looked back in dismay and saw a pair of cold eyes right before he stopped breathing.It was Olivia's murderous stare."How dare you threaten my brother?! You're
