All of them heard how Finn and Iris greeted them.Quinn was already used to it as she had heard even more intimate addresses.As for Olivia, Enola, and Hannah, they blushed from it.Chase quickly explained, "You can ignore them. They're used to saying ridiculous things. Let's get into the car first.""Alright."The three of them did not object as they headed straight toward the farthest car."Stop right there!"A voice roared out to them. Chase stopped in his steps and saw a man block in front of Hannah. Chase glanced at him and went to stand next to Hannah."Do you know this man, Hannah?""No, I don't." Hannah pouted slightly and indicated she did not know the man."Then, we'll just ignore him. Let's get into the car."Chase said as he held Hannah's hand. He opened the door for her while helping her into the car.Drift saw how he had been ignored. To think that he was prepared to spend ten million just to get her name. It was one thing to be ignored, it was another to see
"Who are you?" Drift asked."My name is Chase Collins."Chase thought that Drift would at least have heard of him since he was a member of the Brennan family from Capital City. He should act more respectfully after learning Chase's identity.He did not expect Drift to laugh out loud after hearing his name."I don't care who you are. You're just a gigolo. I can't believe you're brave enough to tell me your name like that. You're an arrogant one, aren't you? Too bad that you won't have a chance to continue your arrogance in front of me. You…"Drift kept on talking.He did not notice the change on Boyle's face when Chase announced his name as he was standing behind Drift. There was a look of fear on Boyle's face.That man was Chase Collins, the same man who had destroyed the Coopers all on his own!Chase's name was now taboo among Capital City's Eight Influential Families, especially the families who had made an enemy out of Chase.Boyle went anxiously to Drift's side to stop him
"Alright, let's go." While Chase was thinking about things, Olivia, Enola, and Hannah had already gotten into the car at the back.When Quinn saw this, she went up to Chase and pulled him along."Let's take the same car, Little Rocky.""Okay," Chase agreed and got into the car at the front."Let's go," Chase said again when he saw Finn still staring at him in a daze."Yes, Master."Finn stepped on the gas pedal, and the black off-road vehicle roared like an animal as it sped forward.…Inside the airport of Capital City.Myra had just gotten off the plane and collected her luggage when she saw Chase waiting for her. Four beautiful women were standing next to him."Over here, Myra."Before Chase said anything, Quinn had already called out to her.Myra had already seen them before Quinn called out.She quickened her steps to reach them.Chase was worried that Myra might feel like a stranger as this was the first time the sisters were seeing each other.He quickly explained
South Monarch Manor buzzed with laughter and joy as the five sisters reunited, filling the atmosphere with liveliness.Chase enjoyed every moment as he sat among them in the courtyard, savoring the delicious food Myra had brought while they shared stories about their lives.Hannah was the first to speak. She recounted how she had met the renowned miracle doctor, Skylar. She shared how she became his personal disciple, improved her medical skills, and healed countless patients.She finished by detailing how she eventually met Chase and how they recognized each other as siblings, covering every detail without holding back."So, if Quinn hadn't lost her memory, you wouldn't have reunited with us at all?" Enola remarked with a sigh after hearing the story."Exactly. Life works in strange ways," Hannah replied with a smile. "Anyway, I've told my story. It's your turn, Enola."Enola did not hesitate either. She spoke openly about being taken in by the Langdon family, her entry into the
"My story is rather straightforward," Chase began, spreading his hands. "I was saved from the orphanage fire by an old man. Naturally, I followed him and trained under him."Once my training was complete, I set out to avenge Grandpa Gideon and the others. I followed the clues step by step until I reached Capital City. That's all.""That's it? Nothing more? Rocky, are you treating us like outsiders by hiding the truth from us?" Hannah asked, clearly dissatisfied.The women had already discussed among themselves, hoping to coax Chase into revealing more details. Yet to their disappointment, Chase brushed it off with just a few sentences. They felt as though their plan had backfired."Rocky, even if you don't say it, we know the truth. The Collins family, one of the Eight Influential Families in Capital City, is your original family. Are you keeping the truth from us so that we won't get involved?" Enola asked with her gaze steady on Chase."Maybe it would've been better for us not
"Yes, we'll never abandon you!"The lively chatter of the women left Chase feeling both helpless and deeply touched."Rocky, since that's the case, let's take action now! I've been bored these past few days anyway," Hannah said while cracking her knuckles, eager to get started.The others looked equally excited, as if they could already picture themselves storming into Capital City together.Chase was stunned by their enthusiasm."Hold on, ladies," he said with a frown. "We need to take this step by step. Besides, I'm about to have a breakthrough soon, and it's better if we act after that. Also... I'm not really your biological brother."He lowered his gaze, feeling conflicted. His enemies were his burden to carry, and he did not want to drag his sisters into the mess. After all, they were innocent."So what if you aren't our biological brother?" Hannah retorted, grabbing his sleeve. "We grew up together in Grandpa Gideon's orphanage. Blood ties or not, you're our brother."Myr
The bustling streets of Capital City stretched wide and smooth. Among the crowd, a small group of people stood out like elegant cranes among ordinary birds, drawing many curious glances.Their attire was strikingly different from one another. Olivia wore a simple white dress, looking graceful and beautiful. Meanwhile, Hannah's purple-red gown exuded boldness and charm. Quinn, on the other hand, was in a vibrant blue dress, looking youthful and lively. Myra, who was gentle and serene, radiated a quiet elegance.Only Chase stood apart from them—tall, lean, and imposing. His black outfit fluttered in the breeze while his chiseled features carried a cold, indifferent expression. It made him seem out of place amidst the lively group."Hey, where did this pretty boy come from? How did he end up with all these women?" someone whispered, catching sight of the group.Most of the onlookers were well-dressed young men and women. Their outfits were luxurious, revealing their privileged upbri
"Get lost!" Chase barked. His eyes were cold, and a chilling air of murderous intent radiated from him."What? Did he just tell us to get lost?"The crowd blinked in disbelief, wondering if they had misheard him."You brat! How dare you act so arrogant? Do you think I won't kill you right here?" one of them growled, his anger boiling over.The group was used to bullying others under the protection of the Webers, relishing in the fear and submission of those around them. Chase's defiance infuriated them, making them wish they could tear him to pieces."I'll say it one last time—leave. If you don't, I'll kill you without mercy!" Chase's gaze was as cold as steel, his voice laced with deadly intent."Kill us? Haha, what a joke! Do you really think a weakling like you can stand against us?"Several young men dressed in fine clothes burst into laughter. Their eyes were full of mockery, as if Chase were beneath them.Chase shook his head with a sigh. They were too foolish to understa
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
