Hoss could tell that this was something important to Hero. It might even be able to change the trajectory of his life.It was important that Hoss treated this seriously."Here's wishing us a wonderful night tomorrow, Mr. Hoss!"Hero reached out his right hand and smiled. "Also, I'd suggest that you prepare a car. It'd be more convenient to drive tomorrow night. After all, you need to see me first before taking action tomorrow. We need to decide on a safe place to meet.""Sure!" Hoss nodded in agreement.He stood up to leave after that.Chase had bugged their hotel room earlier and heard everything they said. As he listened to their conversation, he smiled condescendingly."He's dumb to believe in Hero Weber. How stupid of him!" Chase said to himself."But it doesn't matter. We'll still battle it out tonight. I hope he won't be the reason I lose. Otherwise, it would be his death anniversary this time next year."A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he mumbled."You forced m
Leopold continued, "But the one she dotes on the most is the eldest grandson of the Webers, Hiram Weber.""Hiram Weber?" Hoss' eyes narrowed slightly. "I'd like to see who ends up the victor tomorrow night."Hoss hung up and went into deep thought, 'Tomorrow will be the day I fight Chase Collins to the death! If I win, I'll be the most powerful fighter of my generation. But if I lose… I'll lose everything. I can't allow that to happen! No matter what happens, I must survive this and get my revenge.'Everything will end tomorrow.'There was a cold look in his eyes as he mumbled to himself, "I can't wait to tear Chase Collins apart and turn him to dust!"…Early the next morning, inside the office of Hawkins Corporation's CEO, Hoss was seated in his chair while massaging his temple. There was a fatigued look on his face, and he looked a little tired.Just then, someone knocked on the door."Come in!" Hoss looked up as he said nonchalantly.A female staff member pushed the door o
After the call ended, Hero said, "Let's see if he'll show up!""I…" The young man hesitated. "Mr. Hero, Mr. Hoss is from the Hawkins family, after all…""What about the Hawkinses? Could Hoss be more powerful than me?" Hero glared at him. "Stay here alone if you're afraid. I'll be leaving first."Hero stood up.Footsteps were suddenly heard coming from behind him."Mr. Hoss?"Hero turned to look. It was an impressive-looking man in a suit. He was walking toward Hero."Hoss Hawkins! Hah! I thought you were too afraid to be here because of Chase Collins," Hero said with a grunt."I promised you to be here, Mr. Hero. I wouldn't go back on my word," Hoss replied nonchalantly.Hoss did not want to be there initially but was worried something would happen that night and decided to show up."Let's go!" Hero glanced coldly at Hoss and left the lounge first.Hoss followed him out of the lounge and into his underground garage, where a Lincoln limousine drove over.Hoss opened the door
Hero was taken aback and went out after Chase.He later realized that Chase was nowhere in the hotel."Damn it!" Hero cursed out in anger. "That bastard made a run for it.""Calm down, Hero," Hoss advised. "I'm guessing that Collins must have been afraid of us seeking revenge and ran off. It's not surprising. Maybe this is a good thing. We don't need to waste time sending men after him."Hoss was calm and did not look angry at all. "Not only that, we have the opportunity to go public with what he did."He took out his cell while speaking. "I've booked a flight ticket for tomorrow at 8:30 am. I'll return right now."With that, Hoss turned to leave."Hey, hey, don't go. Let me play host and bring you around for some fun!" Hero quickly stopped him. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have the best treatment. You won't be sorry."Hoss hesitated before nodding. "Alright. I'll take you up on your offer. I hope you'll be able to keep your promise.""Of course!"Night came, and they qui
They were the Hawkinses' trump card. Besides that, Hero had also recently achieved a breakthrough to semi-saint.He stood where he was and watched as the dozens of bodyguards lunged at Chase and did not join the fight. Hero trusted in the abilities of these dozens of bodyguards. They were enough to take care of Chase.However, Hero's eyes widened the next second. His eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.The bodyguards flew off backward the moment they touched Chase. They fell unconscious to the ground in one move!It only took Chase one move!Hero was stunned. How was that possible? Was Chase really so powerful?He did not display any ancient martial arts technique and did this with pure strength. His physical prowess was powerful enough to handle ordinary martial arts legends! What was even more unbelievable about this was that the bodyguards had guns on them.It was hard to tell what Hero was thinking by looking at his face. It was not delight nor sorrow."Your bodyguards d
Anyone who was able to pick up this skill could burst out with power several times stronger than normal people. It was powerful enough to break bones.Hero was stunned. Hoss lost to Chase because of this move.That was when he felt a chill down his spine. Hero turned back to look with difficulty. He saw Chase standing not far away, and his heart was filled with fear."W-What do you want?"Hero's body stiffened, and his face turned pale.What did he just see?A thin, golden thread was coiled around Chase's right hand.Chase's hand quivered slightly, and the golden thread suddenly straightened. It shot as quickly as lightning right into Hero's shoulder. Everything happened too fast.Hero's eyes widened as he tried his best to evade the attack. However, it was too late.Hero's shoulder was cut with a wound that was about three inches long by the golden thread."Argh—"The intense pain crawled throughout his body, causing Hero to howl. The veins on his temple throbbed. Hoss took
"I'll keep you in here while waiting for the Webers to come get you. Trust me, they'll be willing to pay any price!"Chase left after that.Hero was left lying on the ground in a daze. He watched as Chase left, and he showed no signs of stopping him."What exactly is going on?"It was quite a while before Hero managed to move again. He rubbed his head and looked in a daze. All of a sudden, a vicious look appeared deep inside his eyes."I want revenge! I want to kill you! I want you dead!" Hero roared in a frenzy. He could only lie on the ground as he was too seriously injured. He was unable to stand.After a while, Hero seemed to remember something, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. "Just you wait, Chase Collins! I'll kill you with my own hands one day!"…Chase had no idea that Hero was making plans to murder him because he was in a pretty bad situation.When he used the mystical technique, it activated a hidden bloodline within him. Even though he had temporarily pos
"That might not be necessary. The Webers' Supreme Elder is a martial arts overlord. It doesn't matter how arrogant that brat is, he wouldn't dare go up against a martial arts overlord," someone spoke up."That's enough!" A roar rang throughout the hall suddenly. Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. Everyone looked stunned and fearful.Right on the main seat in the house was the new Weber patriarch, Mountain Weber. He looked serious and composed. He swept a glance across the hall. "If you've said enough, it's time to hear me speak."The Webers are one of the top families in Capital City. We've been standing tall for a hundred years in this country! Since my grandfather's day to our current generation, we've survived for five generations. The Webers are one of Capital City's influential families. "I admit that brat is quite capable. He took down the Webers' guards, and even Hero was defeated in his hands. But don't forget that he wasn't born and bred in Capital City. We ha
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
A golden rune floated in Chase's palm, shimmering with radiant energy.The rune collided with the rusted blade, scattering dazzling sparks into the air."What?!" the elder exclaimed, his pupils constricting."Do you think a piece of worthless scrap metal can harm me? How laughable." Chase shook his head. He flicked his fingers, and the golden rune expanded to the size of a hand. In an instant, it transformed into a blazing flame that radiated intense heat. It spread in all directions."What kind of technique is this?"The elder's face twisted in fear. He leaped back, trying to escape, but the golden flames spread rapidly as they devoured everything in their path. Grass and leaves turned to ash in moments, and even the soil melted under its heat.When a single ember touched the elder's body, smoke began to rise from his flesh, causing him immense pain. The flames were not just hot—they burned through flesh and blood with ease."No! This fire is too dangerous. I can't let it touch
The elder was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he had witnessed.The Nine Dragons Shield was a forbidden technique that consumed immense amounts of vital energy to activate. Even martial arts saints who used it would suffer grave consequences, potentially causing their cultivation level to permanently regress."Who are you?" he demanded."Who I am doesn't matter," Chase replied, his tone calm yet piercing. "What matters is that I can kill you."Another bolt of lightning crashed down from the heavens.Chase stood still, unmoving, letting the lightning strike his body.Blood spattered as his clothes were shredded. His shoulders and back bore scorch marks from the impact. He smirked and said, "Not bad. This level of lightning barely affects me."As soon as he spoke, Chase launched a punch. The force of his strike condensed into a tangible blast. It was like a meteor crashing down, slamming into the elder's chest.A dull thud echoed as the elder's body convulsed violently
