"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
Chase had not returned to his house in Capital City because too many things were happening before.If not for this rare occasion where the siblings were able to gather, Chase would not have remembered this house.He led them into South Monarch Manor while ignoring the astonished looks on the faces of passersby."This will be our home in Capital City, everyone."When they walked into South Monarch Manor, the first thing Chase did was let his sisters pick their rooms. As for Chase, he went to the edge of South Monarch Manor and began setting up various formations.Now that Chase had chosen this place to be his home in Capital City once more, he would not let it get destroyed again.However, while he might have some knowledge of formations, it was not his forte. Chase gave Skylar a call and prepared to learn from him. After all, he was quite envious of how Herb Hall was set up.Chase wanted very much to mold South Monarch Manor into a place like Herb Hall that could turn a location
Even though Chase could not figure out why they were there, he did not show it on his face. He appeared in front of them with a calm look.Basalt's army immediately called out in unison upon Chase's appearance, "Greetings to Basalt's chief instructor!""You may step down and go back to work. I'll take care of these two gentlemen."Basalt's army left after Chase gave the order."It's been a while, Elder Blake."Chase greeted him first."I can't believe how long it's been, Chase. You've improved so much. If I knew this, I would've made you stay in the Esoteric Medical Sect."Blake sighed with pity when he saw Chase.It looked like Blake was about to reminisce.Chase quickly stopped him."Please go ahead and tell me why you're here to see me, Elder Blake."Blake looked embarrassed when Chase brought this up.Chase noticed it and knew that he had made the right guess.Linus, who was an impatient young man, quickly spoke up at this point, "Chase, we're here to get your help wit
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
