“I’m not stirring up any trouble. They’re the ones inviting me up the stage,” Chase said with exasperation.“They’re inviting the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate up the stage, not you!” Quinn said furiously.“I am the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate,” Chase replied matter-of-factly.“You…”Quinn was almost crying from anger.Did he think he was the miracle doctor just because they shared the same surname?She thought that Chase had gone crazy. There was no other reason why he would speak nonsense like this.Chase did not continue speaking to her as he headed directly for the stage.Elaine got anxious. “What are we going to do, Miss Norris? That rascal isn’t listening to you. He’s heading for the stage.”“What else can I do? I can’t just run up there and drag him down to beat him up, can I?”Quinn smiled helplessly. She took a deep breath and said, “All I can do now is hope that Grandpa Cooper will let him off on account of me and Bianca and forgive him for this.”She looked up at
Quinn felt like she could not breathe.She could not stop thinking about both of Chase’s identities. It only made her so dizzy she almost passed out.Quinn did not believe it.She could not even accept it.However, the truth was right in front of her. She had to believe it.She stumbled and fell a few steps back. She almost fell to the floor.Quinn never dreamed that the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate whom she had been searching for all this time was Chase.Memories of how she had insulted Chase numerous times flashed in her mind, and her face turned pale immediately.Elaine, who was by her side, was left with her mouth agape. It was so wide open that one could fit an entire fist inside.That country bumpkin was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate?!This was such a crazy world!Meanwhile, Chase looked at William and Bianca and said, “There's no need for such formalities, Mr. and Miss Cooper.” William straightened up and smiled at the audience as he said, “Believe your eyes, eve
This man was supposed to be Riley's, but she had pushed Chase into the arms of another.Otherwise, Riley would have been able to be part of this proud and honorable moment.She turned to look at Edward. She saw him cowering among the crowd, trembling like a rat hiding in the dark.One man stood high on the peak of the world as he was revered by renowned figures.The other was like a total buffoon and looked like a clown.There was a vast difference between both men.William led Chase to meet Quinn. “Dr. Collins, this is Mr. Norris’ granddaughter, Quinn Norris.”He had no idea that Chase and Quinn knew each other, so he introduced them accordingly.Chase picked up a glass of red wine and toasted Quinn. “Nice to meet you, Miss Norris.”Quinn picked up the glass with a complicated look on her face and said nothing. She was looking at him with shock and incredulity. However, most of all, she was feeling regret.“I told you before that I was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate, Miss
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice in shock when they heard the person say it out loud.Quin walked out slowly from the crowd.Bianca did not expect her to object so publicly, and the look on her face changed. “Quinn, you…”“I’m sorry, Bianca.”Quinn looked at her apologetically and said, “I know this is wrong of me, but I have to object to this.”“Why?” Bianca looked upset as she questioned Quinn.She liked Chase, and Quinn knew it. Quinn had even told her before that she had no interest in Chase.Yet, now she was objecting to their marriage. It made Bianca sad and angry.Quinn did not reply to her but turned to look at Chase. “Can I speak to you in private, Chase?”He saw the pleading look in her eyes, so he nodded. “Sure.”Chase and Quinn walked out of the manor under everyone’s gaze.When Chase saw that they were alone, he asked, “What did you want to talk to me about?”Quinn turned back to look at him with mixed emotions. She bit her lip gently and s
The most excited among them was Edward.Chase was a stupid man. He actually turned down a chance at climbing up the social hierarchy.The woman he turned down was Bianca Cooper, the dream girl of many men.From his point of view, Chase had already offended the Coopers by rejecting them. It would be difficult for him to continue staying in South River City.It did not matter if Chase was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. He was just a doctor. How could he fight against a wealthy and influential family?Quinn gave a guilty glance at Bianca and asked, “Can we leave now, Chase?”“Let’s go.”Chase nodded. He left Cooper Manor along with Bianca.Meanwhile, in a black bus situated in the suburbs of South River City, many passengers were crouched on the floor with their hands over their heads. They were looking at three men and a woman in front of them fearfully.The men and the woman were searching everyone’s bodies for anything valuable. They even pulled out the gold teeth of the bu
Chase coughed and asked, “Err… Can you repeat that again? Who did you invite?”Rowan darted a look at him from the corners of his eyes and said impatiently, “Listen carefully to what I say. The person I invited here is the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.“Forget about it. Why am I even talking to you about an important man like him? He's not someone that you can meet easily anyway.”He grunted coldly. Rowan had not even looked at Chase since walking into the door.From what he perceived, this young man was probably just a new bodyguard Quinn had hired. He was not worth Rowan’s time at all.Chase rubbed his nose and shook his head in astonishment.He decided to let it be.Chase understood something right away.A fake Medical Saint had appeared, and the real one had been looked down on as a result.Quinn got anxious as she tried to explain, “Uncle Rowan…”Before she could say anything, Rowan’s phone rang.After he hung up, he said agitatedly, “Quinn, the Medical Saint of Hell’s
He was worried that the ‘miracle doctor’ would get upset, so Rowan quickly apologized, “Sir, this is my niece, Quinn Norris. Please forgive her for being rude.”“Uncle Rowan, he’s a fraud. You shouldn’t trust him. I’ve met the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate…”Quinn felt like she was about to go crazy.The ‘miracle doctor’ smiled and said calmly, “Miss Norris, are you talking about the one you perceive to be the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate, the same person who had attended the appreciation banquet?”“That’s right.” Quinn scoffed. She glanced subtly at Chase, who was standing by her side. She continued, “That’s why I know you’re not the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.”The ‘miracle doctor’ smiled. “All of you have been deceived, Miss Norris. The truth is, the person who attended the Coopers’ appreciation banquet is the real fraud pretending to be me.”“My teacher is right.” The young man in the suit who was holding a bag sniggered and said, “My teacher doesn’t care abou
“Who are you, young man? How dare you stir up trouble here!” A Norris came forward and pointed at Chase while shouting.The others looked at Chase unhappily.Rowan frowned. “What do you mean, young man?”“I mean exactly what I said.”Chase pointed at the fake Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate and said arrogantly, “I’m the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. That man is a fraud.”He said matter-of-factly.Everyone was taken aback.Where did this Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate come from?They took a good look at Chase and began sniggering.He was just a young man of about 20, but he was claiming to be the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. Did he think that they were stupid?The ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ and Tom sniggered as well.As expected, Rowan’s face immediately fell. “Quinn, how did you train your bodyguard? How dare he spout nonsense like this here?”“Uncle Rowan, Chase isn’t spouting nonsense. He’s the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate,” Quinn bit her lip and said.“Are you
There was a loud bang when the palm hit Chase and he fell hard to the ground. Blood dripped from his mouth."That's a powerful palm attack!"Chase's eyes widened slightly, and his heart beat fast. He almost died from that attack. Fortunately, Chase had used his steel physique to block the attack at the crucial moment.Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the attack with his current cultivation level. He would have ended up seriously wounded.Chase clenched his teeth. His body hurt immensely. The power of that palm attack might have been softened by his shield, but it was still enough to hurt his internal organs and make his energy and blood boil."That attacker was really powerful. Could he be a powerhouse?"Chase was quietly astonished. However, he was not afraid. He had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, after all. Moreover, his cultivation was at its peak as his power had increased tremendously.Myra's petite body trembled when she saw Chase fall to th
Chase roared at the sky, and it echoed for several miles.He leaped into the air and swung his arm, crushing a man-made hill next to him. It then collapsed into pieces."How powerful!" Chase was delighted.He had a feeling he could easily crush a huge piece of wood in his hand right now."The power of a stage three martial monarch is strong, indeed," Chase muttered. He had absolute confidence right now that he could kill garbage like Jaden with one punch."Huh?"Chase looked up all of a sudden and frowned slightly. "Why are there people here?"He could see two figures coming toward him in the dark. They were coming closer to where he was."That's quick of them." Chase narrowed his eyes. He did not hide away but went up to them instead."You're being rash with this, young friend," one of the men said in a low voice. "The Larsens are a big family, and you've angered their patriarch and many of their elders. You're in deep trouble.""Oh?" Chase could no longer hold back when he
The wind whistled in the air as slash after slash of the sword swung down on Chase.Every swing was followed by a blood splatter."H-How is this possible?!"Jaden's eyes widened in disbelief.The guards he brought with him were elites of the Larsens. The one with the lowest cultivation among them was a stage-five martial arts saint.Such a team would be able to take down a castle anywhere."You're nothing but ants. How dare you even dream of killing me?!"Chase's dark hair billowed in the wind as he punched into the air. The power of the punch created a tremor that reverberated to every corner. A huge air wave surged, and all the guards collapsed.He clenched his fist. There was a bright, silver spear in his hand. He flung it out hard, and it shot through a wall ten feet away. It pinned Jaden on the shoulder.Jaden screamed and fell kneeling to the ground. His face contorted from the intense pain, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. There was a bloody hole on hi
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ryker yelled. "I'm the steward of this pharmacy, and you're asking me to kneel and apologize to some backwater nobody? I—"Before he could finish, a resounding slap landed on Ryker's left cheek, leaving it red and swollen."You ungrateful fool!" Jaden seethed with rage as his face twitched in fury. "Didn't you hear what I said? He's a martial arts master!""What?!" Ryker froze for a moment before his eyes widened in disbelief. "No, that's impossible! He doesn't look older than 20. How could he possibly be a martial arts master?""Hmph! This world is full of prodigies. I might not want to believe it, but the terrifying strength he displayed is no lie!" Jaden growled in a low voice."This incident must be contained. Write a resignation letter immediately and send it to headquarters. Say that your old illness has flared up, and you're requesting leave to recuperate at home.""What?" Ryker was dumbfounded.His father was asking him to resign? After toiling
"What do you intend to do?" Chase's expression grew wary.He fixed his gaze on the figure slowly approaching him. The man stopped just three feet away, his eyes narrowing as if he were trying to piece together a memory."Your aura… It feels familiar, as if I've encountered it before," Jaden murmured. His brows furrowed as he struggled to recall the sensation. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock."Could it be…" His voice trembled with a trace of fear. "You're Chase, the last remnant of the Collins family?"Chase smirked coldly. "Since you already know, there's no need for pretense. I came to your pharmacy today to seek justice—nothing more."Narrowing his eyes, Chase released a chilling aura that pressed down on Jaden like a crushing wave.Jaden's body trembled uncontrollably, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure. He fell to his knees in an instant.Ryker, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded. His father was the commanding steward of the pharmacy, yet he had just kne
"I…" The guards hesitated.The commotion had spiraled out of control, casting a negative light on the pharmacy. They dared not intervene recklessly now.Ryker, however, was furious. "How dare you?! This is not a place for you to act out!"He lunged toward Chase, only to be stopped by the guards. "Sir, we urge you not to get involved!""I'm the steward of this pharmacy! If such chaos occurs on my watch, none of you will escape punishment!" Ryker declared coldly.The pharmacy was owned by the Larsen family and managed directly under Ryker's authority."Mr. Larsen, this Chase fellow is a Pill Refiner. We can't afford to provoke him.""Yes, he's a Pill Refiner!"Several guards quickly defended Chase, fearing Ryker's wrath might end up implicating them.Hearing this, Ryker paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. "So, you're a Pill Refiner?"I think you're just a con artist! How could a mere nobody like you know anything about refining pills? To me, it seems you're pretending
The pharmacy attendants scoffed and sneered at the scene.Chase paid no attention to their foolishness. Without hesitation, he freed Myra from her restraints and supported her as they moved away from the commotion.During their brief confrontation earlier, Chase had already assessed Myra's condition. Her injuries were severe—her Sea of True Energy was shattered, her bones were fractured, her organs were damaged, and her foundation was nearly destroyed.If he had not arrived in time, her life would have been at serious risk.As Chase used his skills to heal Myra, he noticed something peculiar. He could detect a faint yet familiar aura on her.The realization sent shockwaves through his mind."Myra, what on earth happened to you?" he murmured softly while brushing her hair gently.At that moment, he sensed movement from the pharmacy.Turning around, Chase spotted Ryker walking toward him with an air of arrogance. The youth's eyes narrowed into slits, as though nothing in the worl
"Huh?"Hearing this, the young attendants in the pharmacy were stunned.This pharmacy belonged to the renowned Valley of the Medicine King within the martial arts domain. It was said to be backed by a martial monarch, a saintly master of both medicine and martial arts!The so-called Dr. Larsen was a descendant of the Larsen family. He was celebrated for his extraordinary knowledge of medicine and unparalleled medical skills."Where did this brat come from, causing trouble and disturbing the peace? Get out of here before I lose my patience!"A young man dressed in a blue brocade robe glared at Chase, scolding him harshly. This young man looked to be around 17 and had a handsome and refined appearance. He exuded an elegance befitting a noble scion.However, his expression was icy, and his eyes were sharp, reflecting intense malice and murderous intent."Mr. Larsen, you don't need to concern yourself regarding this matter. Please forgive him," said the green-robed guard captain out
Chase unsheathed his sword and struck with precision. A flash of sword light, sharp and unstoppable, swept through the air and pierced one attacker's chest."What?!"The remaining two were stunned, unable to believe the boy before them was far more formidable than they had anticipated."Die!"One of them charged forward, swinging a blade that sent a dazzling crescent of energy hurtling toward Chase's throat. Meanwhile, the other flanked him, launching a sneak attack.The two attackers coordinated flawlessly, their strikes merciless and intent on ending Chase's life.Chase raised his sword to block the fatal blow, then countered with a swift thrust.Blood sprayed as the one attempting a sneak attack failed to react in time, and his heart was pierced. He collapsed in a lifeless heap.Chase smirked coldly, withdrawing his sword as he stepped back. His gaze swept over the two corpses, and he shook his head.These black-clad men were weak—far inferior to Bryson. Their techniques we
