In an instant, the once-clear waters began to emit thick smoke.This toxic smoke was extremely potent; anyone who came into contact with it would become dizzy and fall into a deep sleep.Sunny lay on the ground, laughing hysterically toward the sky."You scoundrel!"Chase was furious and seething with rage. Sunny had resorted to releasing poison in a suicidal attack at this critical moment. It was utterly despicable.Although he was unharmed, it had given him quite a scare."Chase..." Nearby, another young Hawkins family member approached hesitantly."What? Are you trying to stop me?" Chase glanced at him."I wouldn't dare, Chase. Please calm down. We're just worried that if you push him too far, causing mutual destruction, it might attract the attention of the Hawkins family's higher-ups. At that point, I'm afraid..." The young man seemed somewhat fearful of Chase.They had come here to eradicate the Hawkins family completely. If they angered the Hawkinses and provoked a larg
"You're asking for it!" Toby sneered.The two exchanged a fierce punch.A visible shockwave spread from where their fists met, sending all the onlooking young family members flying backward. Some even spat blood. This was a battle between martial arts saints!Chase narrowed his eyes slightly. His strength was slightly inferior to the opponent's, but the opponent was clearly not skilled in fist techniques, so this exchange ended in a draw."You've broken through?" Chase's expression darkened.He had not expected that the Hawkinses had been hiding such an old monster!At their peak, the Hawkins family had barely reached the threshold of first-rate powers; their foundation was shallow and unstable. Yet now, it seemed the situation was completely different.Toby's cultivation had reached stage five of martial arts saint, making him one of the top experts even in all of Capital City."As expected of the Hawkinses! That old dog, Toby, is actually this formidable!""Heh, Chase, I adv
In the blink of an eye, the two figures left Hawkins Residence, with one chasing and one fleeing. They appeared on the streets outside. Toby suddenly accelerated, leaping dozens of feet to intercept Chase and block his path."Toby, you cowardly turtle. You finally dare to show yourself?" Chase roared, his eyes blazing with anger.This bastard had been hiding within Hawkins Residence, barely clinging to life. If it were not for his body refinement technique, he would have died long ago!Such humiliation was absolutely intolerable for Toby!"Chase, I admit your talent is high, but you're currently only at stage three of martial arts legend. You're no match for me!" Toby sneered as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "If you kneel and beg for mercy, I might leave your corpse intact and let you die swiftly.""In your dreams!" Chase let out a cold laugh and threw a punch. His fist force surged like a raging storm, stirring up sand and dust everywhere."You reckless fool!" Toby said
Chase had indeed been hiding his true strength!Of course, besides the core members of the Collins family, almost no one knew this—even Chase himself was unaware."I'll kill you today, Toby Hawkins, and no one can save you!" Chase declared. His eyes were icy cold as he articulated each word deliberately.Upon hearing this, Toby's heart trembled violently. He suddenly realized that Chase's intent to kill was more terrifying than ever before. He truly intended to kill him!Toby turned and fled; he did not want to stay and wait for death. Chase dared to kill even stage-four martial arts saint. What was he, a mere stage-three martial arts saint, compared to that?However, Chase would not give him a chance to escape.Chase employed his movement technique, moving at incredible speed. His figure flickered unpredictably, and he closed the distance with each flash—all while unleashing palm strikes one after another."Chase, you dare kill me?" Toby roared hysterically.Chase executed the
Toby was utterly terrified. He was panicking and repeatedly begging for mercy."It's too late," Chase said indifferently before swinging his fist."Don't kill me!!" Toby screamed in sheer terror.However, it was all too late.Toby was decapitated. His head shattered, and scarlet blood splattered everywhere.Even in his last moments, Toby had questioned, "How dare you kill me? Are you insane? Do you really want to start a war with us Hawkinses?" Chase frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "I'm not insane."He looked into the distance, his gaze deep and profound. He thought to himself, 'Though the Collins family hasn't treated me well, they're still my family and my roots. I won't allow others to tarnish or defile them!'Toby Hawkins violated my bottom line; he deserved to die! But I need to use his identity to cover my tracks a bit.'With that thought, Chase took out a black ghost mask from his storage ring and put it on. This was a special treasure that could alter one's ap
Hoss' eyes were filled with apprehension. "Dad, if the Collins family is so formidable, how did they fall into decline? As far as I know, before Chase, the Collinses had many outstanding young warriors—""Silence!" Cielo shouted angrily.Anything related to the Collins family was taboo and could not be disclosed!Cielo did not intend to reveal anything even to his own son, Hoss, to avoid inviting disaster."Chase is a treasure. He's the key to the Collins family's resurgence!" Cielo said solemnly.His eyes flashed with a sharp light. "We can't allow Chase to live; he must be eliminated! Otherwise, when he grows stronger, it'll spell disaster for the Hawkins family!""Indeed!""If this person matures, he'll definitely become our worst nightmare!"Listening to the conversation, Cielo nodded silently. He had long known that Chase was associated with the Collins family.However, Chase's existence had led to the weakening of the Hawkins family—something he was unwilling to see.Mo
'Damn! That shameless Reyna actually brought another man to humiliate me? Hmph, I'll settle this score with her sooner or later! Isn't he just a lowly commoner from a small town? I could crush him with a single slap!' Aether snarled to himself."So, how should we deal with Chase?"Hoss' eyes gleamed coldly. "Even though the Collins family has been destroyed, there's still a threat. Since Chase is a direct descendant of the Collins family, how can we allow him to live in this world?"Aether frowned upon hearing this, seeming somewhat hesitant. "Hoss, Chase is from the Collins family, and he still bears the surname Collins. Is it really right for us to kill him off?"Hoss shook his head. "Remember that it was because of us that Chase ended up on the streets, where he was bullied by others and almost left to die. Things are irreconcilable between us!""But..." Aether was still undecided.Seeing this, Hoss sneered, "It's decided, then. Rest assured! The Collins family no longer exist
"Damn it! It's happening again! What is it this time? Get out, get out!" Chase roared wildly, screaming hysterically.No matter how hard he pushed or struck, he could not expel this strange energy.His entire face twisted in agony.He struggled desperately, resisting with all his might, but the energy was too terrifying. Within just a few seconds, he was defeated and completely lost his ability to resist.His consciousness gradually blurred, and he started sinking into darkness… He seemed to vaguely sense something awakening within him.…The morning sun rose as usual on the next day.After breakfast, Hoss and Selene walked out of Hawkins Residence side by side.Hoss' car was parked at the entrance. Just as they stepped out of the main gate, two men dressed in black blocked their way."Sir, miss, our boss has an urgent matter to discuss with you. Please cooperate," one of the men said in a deep voice.Hoss raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "If there's something, just say it.
