Chapter 1275

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
"Wait!" the man in black shouted in a panic. "Mr. Weber, please spare my life. I surrender!"

"Surrendering doesn't guarantee you'll avoid punishment," Hero said coolly.

"I understand! I understand!" The man in black nodded quickly. "Kaplan sent us to kill your father and siblings—and to seize Weber Group from you!"

Hero frowned. "Kaplan? Which Kaplan?"

"Kaplan Larsen of Capital City!" the man said while trembling.

Hearing this, Hero understood. He should have guessed. Who else in Capital City could command a martial arts legend to risk his life? Kaplan was the only one with that kind of pull.

Hero had long suspected Kaplan's ambition, aiming to take advantage of his own weakened state. Now, it appeared Kaplan had been plotting all along. He had to admit, the Larsens were playing their cards well. Clearly, they were aware of his dealings with the Hawkinses.

"In that case, I have no choice but to kill you to ensure my safety," Hero said coldly, raising his hand to strike.

    Hero's expression darkened as he asked, "What about the other offices?""Not a trace!" replied the head of security.Hearing this, Hero's frown deepened. "Could they all be hiding?""Mr. Weber, look!" the head of security suddenly pointed toward the windowsill."Hmm?" Hero turned, following the direction being pointed at. His gaze immediately turned icy.There, near the windowsill, was a dark, gaping hole."Could it be..." Hero narrowed his eyes, barking, "Did they jump?!""Mr. Weber, is it possible they slipped out from the balcony?" the head of security hesitated."Idiot!" Hero could not hold back his anger. "This is the eighth floor! Do you think someone could just jump out of the window?""So, what should we do?" The head of security looked clueless."Let's go to the monitoring room and check the surveillance footage," Hero replied. He led the way to the elevator and pressed the 27th floor.Larsen Group's building had 27 floors, with the interior more luxurious the highe

    "Haha, Mr. Larsen, I heard about yesterday's events. You're a straightforward person, so I'll be blunt. I want to partner with you regarding the Larsens' assets. How does that sound?" Hero's tone was casual."Partner?" Kaplan's lips curled with a hint of mockery. "What exactly do you mean by that?""I want shares in Larsen Group," Hero stated plainly. "Of course, you won't be shortchanged. Hand over control of Larsen Group to me, and I'll give you fair compensation.""Compensation? And how much would that be?" Kaplan replied, laughing derisively."Eighty billion," Hero declared. "Eighty billion to acquire Larsen Group. I think that's a fair price, don't you?"Eighty billion was no small sum.Kaplan did not respond to Hero immediately. He considered it for a moment before saying, "I'll think about it.""Very well. I'll wait for your answer," Hero replied before rising to leave.As Hero walked out, Kaplan's mind raced. It was clear to him that Hero was not interested in Larsen Gr

    After order returned to Larsen Group, Kaplan finally had time to deal with Hero."Mr. Kaplan, Weber Group has started making moves!" Beck Larsen rushed in, his face filled with anxiety."Hmph!" Kaplan sneered, narrowing his eyes as he looked into the distance. "He thinks he's so clever."Hero wanted to swallow up Larsen Group, but Kaplan had no intention of letting that happen. For Hero to take over Larsen Group, he would first have to eliminate the Larsens. Otherwise, even if he took control of the group, it would be an empty victory.Hence, Hero wanted to use Kaplan to destroy the Larsens and then take over Larsen Group at his leisure.With that, Kaplan played along as they each had their own goals."Mr. Kaplan, this is the critical moment; you absolutely can't let your guard down!" Beck Larsen urged."Don't worry." Kaplan gave Beck a casual glance. "I've prepared everything. He won't be a threat for long.""That's fantastic!" Beck looked relieved.Kaplan ignored him after t

    Aziel observed Chase's eyes closely and immediately noticed their extraordinary depth. Those eyes seemed as vast as the ocean, capable of concealing everything within them.They could draw one in irresistibly, leaving one unable to escape."That nose and those lips—they're identical to the features of the man in the photo!" The more Aziel looked, the more his heart pounded. He became certain that the man behind the silver mask was indeed Chase."Aziel, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you let this slip by, you may never get another chance," Kaplan urged."I know." Aziel clenched his fists, his voice tense. "But I don't like this."Kaplan sighed. "Ah, what a pity. He's no longer the naive young man he once was. Our plan will have to change. We can't delay this any longer. I need to find some help," Kaplan said. He fell into deep thought before finally making up his mind.Meanwhile, Chase had simply shown his face before casually getting into his car. He leaned back to re

    As one of the largest corporations in Capital City, Larsen Group had its own expansive campus. It was not long before Chase arrived on the 39th floor and pressed the elevator button.The elevator doors opened with a ding, revealing a spacious, well-lit office. Standing at a desk was a woman in professional attire, reviewing documents with careful focus. She looked up as Chase stepped out, her face showing a hint of curiosity. She had not heard of any young man with the last name Collins who could freely enter Kaplan's office."Who are you looking for?" she asked."Kaplan," Chase replied calmly."Mr. Collins, please wait here for a moment. I'll call him for you," she said before turning to make the call."Mr. Collins, Mr. Larsen will see you now," she said when she returned, giving him a polite, professional smile.Chase nodded and walked toward Kaplan's office.Kaplan was already waiting for him and rose quickly as Chase entered. "Chase, you're finally here. Let's get started. T

    Chase saw through Kaplan's plan immediately.Kaplan nodded his head in acknowledgment, saying, "Mr. Collins, you're astute."After a pause, he continued, "All we need is for you to keep the Webers occupied for about two weeks, and we'll have our chance to topple them. We'll soon take their place as the top family in the country."His eyes sparkled with a cunning glint. Hero had derailed Larsen Group's efforts for over two years; there was no way Kaplan would let that go. Once the Webers fell, the Larsens would rise as the new elite."What makes you think I can help you defeat the Webers?" Chase replied coolly.Kaplan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Because you're the only one qualified." He leaned forward. "I don't care about your history with the Webers. All I know is I need your help.""Fine, I'll help," Chase agreed without hesitation. He had no fear of Hero, having caused an uproar within the Weber family previously. He knew he was firmly in their crosshairs.Rather

    "Heh, your plan is indeed clever, but unfortunately…" Chase shook his head. "I have no interest in getting involved in this mess. But I can shield you from the Webers," he stated calmly."You…" Kaplan's eyes widened in shock. He had not expected Chase to agree so readily. Chase's attitude was so casual that it made Kaplan pause, making him wonder if there was a hidden scheme at play."I won't meddle in your affairs because I simply don't care. Whoever wins or loses doesn't concern me," Chase said indifferently."Alright, we'll do as you suggest!" Kaplan decided, silently berating himself for being foolish enough to worry. If it had been anyone else, would they have agreed so easily? Chase had not even asked for any reward, which would have raised flags for anyone with common sense!Kaplan laughed, realizing that Chase's choice would benefit him as well. If Chase truly possessed the strength he claimed, then the Larsens might just have a real chance against the Webers."Mr. Larsen,

    Chase glanced around and noticed that aside from Jovan, there were four or five older family members from the Coopers, all from the same generation.Jovan held a unique position in Capital City. He was not burdened with family responsibilities like other heirs. He only needed to focus on his studies and eventually marry and start a family."Chase, come over and have a seat," called a young man around 28 years old, who exuded confidence and strength. His name was Cosmo Cooper."Chase, this is my older brother, Cosmo," Jovan introduced. "He's one of the future successors of the Coopers and a formidable semi-saint ancient martial artist."A semi-saint represented the pinnacle of ordinary ancient martial arts. Although Jovan was quite capable, he was still far from the semi-saint level. He was not even a true master yet, let alone a martial arts saint. Martial arts saints were figures revered as near-mythical on land, far beyond the reach of typical martial artists."Pleasure to mee

    The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his

    The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C

    There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va

    Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu

    The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly

    The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some

    "Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau

    "It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq

    The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
