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
“Bianca, get someone to protect Dr. Collins in secret. If anyone dares to seek revenge against him, kill them with no mercy.”“Alright, Grandpa.”Bianca nodded and went to make arrangements.At this moment, Sam was kneeling on one knee in front of Chase at South River Clubhouse. He was too heartbroken for tears. “Sir, please let me explain. The only reason I called that fake the Medical Saint of Hell's Gate was all for your sake.”“Go on. If I'm not happy with what you have to say, you'll know the consequences.” Chase fiddled with a clay teapot in his hand and stared at Sam with murderous intentions.Sam was worried that Chase would throw the teapot at him in anger, so he quickly explained, “Sir, ever since you exposed your identity at the Coopers’ appreciation banquet, seven groups of people came to South River City to take action against you in just half a day.“Among them are mercenaries sent by an enemy country who want to kidnap you to treat their president, international as
Chase was utterly stunned as he looked at the hatred on their faces.Did they start hating him just because he refused to treat their father?What was this mindset?“What are you looking at, kid? Tell us!” Bane put his dagger on Chase’s neck.“Alright, don’t be impulsive.”Chase pretended to look scared and blurted, “I’ll tell you. He’s at Serpent Bay Villa 8!”The thugs were overjoyed.Bane was still skeptical, so he asked, “You're not lying to us, are you?”Chase said sincerely, “How would I dare lie to you? You can ask around if you don’t believe me!”One of the men said, “Bro, let’s just bring him along. If he’s lying, we can just kill him on the spot.”“Yeah, let’s do that.”Bane patted his head and pushed Chase into a van that they had stolen before driving to Serpent Bay Villa 8.On the way over, Chase found out that these four were the Jackman Four. They had been hiding overseas this entire time and only recently came back to the country.Their father was a bandit
“I can give you 30% at most. Or else, we can part ways.”“It’s too little! You gotta give me 40% at least!”As Tom and Andrew were fighting over the profits, they heard hurried footsteps outside.“Stop fighting. Put on your wig. They’re here to send us money again.” Tom had a look of joy on his face.Andrew quickly put on his wig and pretended to be a person of foresight.In the next second, the Jackman Four rushed in and yelled at the two, “Which one of you is the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate?”“I am.” Andrew put his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.“I'm his student,” Tom replied.Then, the two looked at the Jackman Four and frowned.They came empty-handed.When the two were about to say something, each of the Jackman Four took out a shiny chopper from behind their back.“Kill them!”Bane yelled as he waved his chopper at the two.Andrew's and Tom’s faces fell.At that moment, they realized these four people were not here to send them gifts. Instead, they were he
Charles nodded.He was at the end of his life, so he wanted to make some arrangements before he died.“Alright, I’ll call him now.” Quinn quickly went out to call Chase.At this moment, Chase just got back from Serpent Bay. When he saw Quinn calling him, he hesitated for a while before answering.“Chase, where are you? Come to my house. My grandpa wants to see you,” Quinn said into the phone.“Alright.”Chase nodded and headed to Norris Villa after hanging up.When he saw Charles again, he saw the intense aura of death on top of his head.Charles was about to die.Seeing this, Chase shook his head.Quinn walked to the side of Charles’ bed and whispered, “Grandpa, Chase is here. What do you want to tell him?”Charles seemed a little more energetic now. He waved his hand to dismiss Quinn as he had something to tell Chase.After Quinn left, Chase said, “Mr. Charles, I promised to save you three years ago, but I failed. It’s my fault. Just tell me if you have any last words. I'
“No way! That brat is a bastard child the old man brought back. How can she take over the family?”“Yeah, ask her to give the token back!”Everyone was pissed and immediately started arguing.Charles’ three sons—Reginald, Roger, and Rowan—looked at each other and then decided inwardly to snatch the pendant back before fighting for the position of the head.Reginald took a step forward and put his hand in front of Quinn. “Quinn, give us the pendant. You’re not the right fit to be the head of the family.”“Uncle Reggie, Grandpa gave me this before he died. He’s the one who asked me to be the head,” Quinn said, her expression changing slightly.She was not after the position, but she could not go against Grandpa’s wishes.Reginald smirked coldly and said, “You’re still young, and you’re not a Norris. How can you be the head of the family?”“Quinn, Reginald is right. You should have over the pendant,” Roger chimed in.“Yeah, Quinn. We’re family, so please don’t make this hard,” Ro
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
