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
"Who did this?!" Doug looked around angrily.Chase stood up and glanced at Doug. He saw that Doug was only a stage-one martial god."Did you do this?!" Doug glared ferociously at Chase.Chase shook his head. He did not really want to talk to Doug.A lowlife like him was not good enough to talk to Chase."Hmph! You have no idea what's good for you. I'll kill you today!" Doug roared coldly.He pulled his sword out from the sheath."Is death what you're looking for?"Chase narrowed his eyes."Haha! My big brother is almost here. Kneel and beg if you know what's good for you. I might consider sparing your life.""You talk too much!"The look in Chase's eyes was cold, and he gave Doug a nonchalant glance. Such a character would not affect him much. Chase was not interested in this man at all."You…"Chip watched all of this with fear in his wide eyes. "How dare you hit me?! My big brother won't let you get away with this.""Shut up!"Chase gave him a backhanded slap that land
A smile broke out on Chase's face. Such a quality pill made a huge difference in the attack skills of early-stage martial gods. It could even help a mid-stage martial god temporarily recover peak form.There might be some spiritual herbs in the vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect that were extraordinary, and Chase could not afford any of them with his current wealth. Besides that, he had to buy a set of suitable guides to further solidify his martial arts skills.Chase mumbled to himself, "I have to get a pill that can overhaul my bones and veins to improve my physique and make it go through a rebirth before I can continue enhancing my level."He thought about this."Die, you thief!"A roar was suddenly heard behind him.Someone in a green shirt came running toward Chase.It was a young man who did not expect Chase to move so fast. Chase lost him in the blink of an eye, and this angered the young man in the green shirt. "You won't escape me!"There was a sound of something flying
"Listen up! I won't destroy my skills because lowlives like you aren't good enough to be my enemies!""What arrogance!"A powerful negative energy exploded from the young man in black."Don't you know anyone who said that died in the end?"The young man in black waved his hand, and a black saber appeared out of thin air. It glinted with a chilling flash."A precious weapon!"Chase's eyes brightened. He had heard someone talk about the treasure vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect. This weapon seemed to have been taken from there."Die!" the young man roared, and the black saber slashed down the air.A vast sword flash shone with brilliance and came down at Chase like a raging storm that wanted to crush Chase to pieces."You're a mere martial god ant. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"Chase grunted coldly. He swept the red battle spear in his hand across at his opponent.There was a series of explosions that caused tremors everywhere. The sword flash vanished and f
"Let's go!"The bearded man stood up with difficulty while glaring fiercely at Chase. "Mark my words! This grudge between us isn't settled. I won't let you off!"With those words, the group of seven quickly retreated while supporting the bearded man. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from view.…"Did something happen here?" A while later, the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.Two young men in green robes approached, and as they took in the scene before them, their expressions froze in shock."What's going on here? I can see signs of battle. Could it be that powerful warriors were fighting here?" one of the youths asked, feeling perplexed."Wait, I smell blood! Could it be that someone was killed in a fight here?" the other exclaimed in alarm.Following the scent of blood, the two came across the bodies of several fallen guards lying on the ground. Among them, the bearded man was now barely clinging to life."It's him!"The two youths recognized the bearded man instant
"That's right! Kill him!"The remaining warriors gritted their teeth, their faces twisting with rage as they spread out and surrounded Chase.Although they were wary of Chase's strength, there was not a trace of fear in their expressions."I don't enjoy killing unnecessarily," Chase said calmly as his gaze swept across the group. "If you leave now, I promise not to harm any of you.""Stop wasting your breath!" the bearded man roared. Brandishing a long blade, he charged at Chase. "Kill him! Kill this beast!"In an instant, icy flashes of blade light sliced toward Chase.These attackers, all at the mid-stage of martial god, unleashed their sharpest attacks without hesitation. Each move was deadly and decisive, aiming to give Chase no chance to retaliate.However, Chase simply raised his palm and struck. With each punch, he unleashed an overwhelming force that shattered all the incoming blades of light.The last attacker was blasted into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood b
'This place must have more monsters. I'll return later to collect them. If other warriors grab the spoils, it'll be a huge loss,' Chase thought to himself.He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant warriors. "Scram," he said coldly.At that moment, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the distance. Eight warriors dashed forward at incredible speed, landing near Chase in the blink of an eye.These eight individuals were all martial gods, and among them were two particularly powerful elders who had already reached the mid-stage of martial god.The two leading figures radiated the most imposing aura. One wore a purple crown while the other had a thick beard and piercing, sinister eyes."Where's Lysander? What happened to him?" the bearded man demanded."He's dead," Chase replied indifferently."What?! Who dares to kill him?!" The bearded man erupted in rage, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Chase.The other warriors were equally shocked. Lysander, an early-stage m
Lysander's body trembled as he gathered all the martial god energy within him, channeling it into his legs. He unleashed a flurry of kicks, each imbued with the force of his energy.At that moment, Lysander appeared like a masterful fighter. His movements were sharp and relentless.Each kick was faster than the last, and every punch carried a force that could shatter mountains as it slammed into the wild tiger's abdomen.The tiger howled in pain as its massive body slid several feet to the side. Its stomach was dented and bleeding profusely.However, Lysander's situation deteriorated rapidly. His body was drenched in blood, and his injuries became critical.The tiger lunged again, its jaws clamping down on Lysander's shoulder with a sickening crunch. Bones shattered, and blood sprayed in all directions, soaking his clothes."Help me!" Lysander cried out desperately."Run! Just run!" shouted the remaining martial artists who had not gotten far.The scene resembled a nightmare, l
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
