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
“This…”Tom took out pennant after pennant and explained the history of each one.Everyone had chills down their spines.This man was an expert healer, indeed!He had cured ordinary people and even saved the life of an old general in Capital City.Even Quinn was shocked, and a thought appeared in her head.Could this elderly man be the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate?That would make Chase…She was shocked by this thought and did not dare to think any further.Tom opened up a small red book at the end. “This is the medical license that was given to my teacher from Capital City’s Medical Association. There's also their stamp on it. Please take a look if you don’t believe it.”Everyone went forward quickly and saw the contents were just as he had described. The license had the words ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ on it. “Hoho, I wonder if all these are enough to prove my identity?” ‘The Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ smiled and said with both hands behind his back.Rowan lo
Inside a deep forest in the suburbs of South River City, the thick scent of blood filled the air. The ground was covered with more than 20 dead bodies.It was apparent that a big fight had just happened here.Sam, who was in a general’s uniform, looked at the bodies on the ground and asked in a deep voice, “How many times has this happened?”“This is the seventh time, Mr. Collins,” a right-hand man of his said as he wiped the blood off his face and lowered his head at Sam.“The seventh time?!”“They’re all here for the Chief!”Sam mumbled in frustration. “Why did the Chief reveal his identity as the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate? These people have been flooding into South River City crazily.“Even though the Chief doesn’t care about ants like you, I can’t tolerate any threat toward him!”Sam’s eyes narrowed, and there was coldness in his voice.His phone suddenly rang. After he was done with the call, a look appeared in his eyes. He snapped his fingers and said, “Prepare the
“That’s… just as well,” the ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ said with a nod as he put up an unwilling look and relented.Tom was overjoyed and quickly prepared to make their escape.There was no way Chase would allow them to leave. He stopped them. “We haven’t even settled the issue of determining our true identities. What’s the rush in leaving?”“You…” The ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ trembled, but no one knew if it was out of anger or fear.“Let’s wait a little longer. Sam Collins is about to arrive soon,” Chase said with a smile.The faces of both the ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ and Tom turned pale. Unfortunately for them, Chase refused to let them go, and they were not able to leave.Quinn could not take it any longer. She could not bear to see them that way. “Let them go, Chase. There's no need to make things difficult for an elderly man.”“I can’t let him go when he’s pretending to be me,” Chase said as he shook his head.Quinn frowned and said, “Do you really want to
Sam then pointed at the fake Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate and said, “This is the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate!”After he said that, the two 'medical saints' stopped in their tracks, their faces stunned.Did they hear him right?Sam acted as if he did not see their expressions and walked forward. Then, he walked to the 'Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate', grabbed his hand, and cried excitedly, “Doctor, thank you for curing me five years ago!“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re in South River City? I would've loved to host you."The 'Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate' was utterly confused as he looked at Sam’s excited face.However, he regained his senses and said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me. I never ask for anything in return after I save someone.”“Your righteousness touches me, doctor!” Sam was getting more and more emotional.“Doctor, this is the key to one of the villas under my name. Its name is Serpent Bay, and it costs more than 30 million. You can move in any time 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
