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
"This guy has some nerve, making someone from the Webers kneel and apologize!""Is he tired of living?"The bystanders murmured among themselves, astonished by Chase's audacity."You little bastard, what did you just say?!" The young man in fine clothes froze, his face turning a deep shade of red as he sensed the overwhelming energy radiating from Chase.What kind of joke was this? He thought Chase was just bluffing, hoping to intimidate him into leaving."I'll say it one more time—apologize, or die!" Chase's patience had run out. His gaze, now sharp as a blade, revealed his intent to kill without hesitation.Since the situation had escalated to this point, Chase decided to go all in. He was determined to make a statement."Haha! You little brat, you should worry about yourself first!" the young man sneered before leaping forward with a powerful kick aimed at Chase. The wind howled with the strike.Chase remained unfazed, his expression filled with disdain. "Trash like you dare
"I'll escort you ladies out of here," Chase said calmly while turning to his sisters."Chase, let us stay and help you," Quinn responded. Concern was evident in her voice."Don't worry. Trust me."Chase gave her a gentle smile, though reluctance flickered in his eyes. He insisted on seeing them off, ensuring they left safely.As the women's figures disappeared from sight, Chase exhaled slowly and whispered to himself, "I'm sorry. It's my duty to avenge the Collins family and my duty alone. I can't drag you into this."Chase was about to step into a restaurant close to the street when he heard a commotion at the entrance."Move! What are you blocking me for? Do you even know who I am? One call from me, and I'll have hundreds of men here to slaughter your entire family! Get lost!"A cobalt-blue Ferrari screeched to a halt in front of the establishment.Two young men emerged from the car. One of them, dressed in luxurious silk robes, wore a dark scowl. He was accompanied by severa
"Useless fools! What are you waiting for? Beat him to death!" Holden shouted.Inside the restaurant, many diners had been frightened by the commotion and quickly moved aside."That young man is in trouble!""Indeed. That's Holden from the Weber family. That guy is bound to suffer.""The Webers are a powerful family. Even martial lords have to think twice before crossing them..."The onlookers shook their heads in pity, casting sympathetic glances at Chase.From a nearby empty table, a middle-aged man in white let out a sigh and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number before speaking in a low voice, "Mr. Collins... Yes... It's the Webers. They're here. You'd better step in personally..."After ending the call, the man's expression shifted several times. He seemed conflicted but eventually made up his mind.Walking toward Chase, he said respectfully, "Mr. Collins, since the Webers are involved, it might be wise to avoid a confrontation for now.""Oh? And why is that?" Chase ask
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
Chase lifted his leg and kicked a Ghost Boar into the air.On the other side, a towering Ghost Boar charged at him, its body covered in thick armor-like skin. Even for Chase, taking it down in one strike would not be easy."Get lost!" Chase snorted coldly, delivering a sharp palm strike to the boar's neck. He sliced it clean through, severing its entire arm!The Ghost Boar shrieked, stumbling away in agony. However, Chase chased it down, stepped on its tail, and twisted hard.A piercing wail echoed through the battlefield.Grabbing the boar's tail, Chase swung it into the ground, shaking the earth beneath them. At that moment, several more Ghost Boars approached, but this time, they halted their advance. Standing three feet away, they refused to take another step forward."What's this? You're afraid now?" Chase smirked.Despite his fierce battle, he had exhausted a great deal of energy. His true energy was nearly depleted. He needed to replenish it.One of the smaller, weaker G
"You're just a mere beast! Get lost!" Chase let out a sharp breath, kicking the Ghost Boar in the stomach.The boar let out a miserable shriek, its body hurtling dozens of feet away. It smashed through countless ancient trees before it finally came to a stop.Suddenly, from atop a small hill, a snow-white fox with wings sprouting from its back lunged toward Chase. Its presence was even more menacing than the Ghost Boar's, and its speed was terrifyingly fast.The moment it opened its mouth, razor-sharp teeth gleamed like knives, ready to tear him apart.It moved too fast! In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Chase, its fangs already aiming for his throat!Just then, a fair hand smacked down on the fox's head. With a single slap, Chase sent it soaring through the air! He felt a rush of excitement in his chest."What incredible strength!"This was the first time he had executed a martial technique.Yet even relying solely on his physical body, he could tell that he had grown tw
Chase had indeed spotted a treasure, but he also sensed the danger that came with it. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would not be able to withstand its power and might lose his life instead."Heavenly treasures like this often contain immense energy fluctuations. This orb… It might help refine my true energy and strengthen my martial veins…""This brat… He's still alive?" Just as the warrior was about to continue his hunt, he was stunned to see the supposedly unconscious Chase slowly getting back on his feet, staggering toward him."You're still standing?" His brows furrowed in surprise before his expression turned cold."Well, since you survived, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"Before the words even fully left his mouth, his steel whip lashed out, streaking through the air like a venomous serpent, striking straight at Chase's throat!"You're courting death."Chase let out a cold laugh, his hand shooting out to seize the whip. With a forceful yank, he sent the warr
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?" H
"Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform
The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored
At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
