“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
“Are you trying to revolt against me?”Rowan clutched his face and roared, “Someone! Get in here!”After he said that, the bodyguards of the family ran in angrily with their weapons.Rowan then pointed at Chase and yelled, “Cripple him!”“Yes!”The bodyguards did not hesitate before rushing toward Chase with their weapons.However, as soon as they approached Chase, they were thrown backward by a huge force. They subsequently broke countless tables and chairs in the room.The Norrises were shocked by this scene.How was this kid so powerful?“You want to cripple me, huh?”Chase took a step forward and slapped Rowan, sending him flying a few meters away.“You…” Rowan spat out some blood and cursed.Chase slapped him again, breaking two of his front teeth.Everyone, including Reginald and Roger, staggered backward from fear. Then, they all looked at Chase in horror.“Any more objections?”Chase’s cold eyes swept across the room.The room was dead silent.No one dared to s
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
Chase lifted his leg and kicked a Ghost Boar into the air.On the other side, a towering Ghost Boar charged at him, its body covered in thick armor-like skin. Even for Chase, taking it down in one strike would not be easy."Get lost!" Chase snorted coldly, delivering a sharp palm strike to the boar's neck. He sliced it clean through, severing its entire arm!The Ghost Boar shrieked, stumbling away in agony. However, Chase chased it down, stepped on its tail, and twisted hard.A piercing wail echoed through the battlefield.Grabbing the boar's tail, Chase swung it into the ground, shaking the earth beneath them. At that moment, several more Ghost Boars approached, but this time, they halted their advance. Standing three feet away, they refused to take another step forward."What's this? You're afraid now?" Chase smirked.Despite his fierce battle, he had exhausted a great deal of energy. His true energy was nearly depleted. He needed to replenish it.One of the smaller, weaker G
"You're just a mere beast! Get lost!" Chase let out a sharp breath, kicking the Ghost Boar in the stomach.The boar let out a miserable shriek, its body hurtling dozens of feet away. It smashed through countless ancient trees before it finally came to a stop.Suddenly, from atop a small hill, a snow-white fox with wings sprouting from its back lunged toward Chase. Its presence was even more menacing than the Ghost Boar's, and its speed was terrifyingly fast.The moment it opened its mouth, razor-sharp teeth gleamed like knives, ready to tear him apart.It moved too fast! In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Chase, its fangs already aiming for his throat!Just then, a fair hand smacked down on the fox's head. With a single slap, Chase sent it soaring through the air! He felt a rush of excitement in his chest."What incredible strength!"This was the first time he had executed a martial technique.Yet even relying solely on his physical body, he could tell that he had grown tw
Chase had indeed spotted a treasure, but he also sensed the danger that came with it. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would not be able to withstand its power and might lose his life instead."Heavenly treasures like this often contain immense energy fluctuations. This orb… It might help refine my true energy and strengthen my martial veins…""This brat… He's still alive?" Just as the warrior was about to continue his hunt, he was stunned to see the supposedly unconscious Chase slowly getting back on his feet, staggering toward him."You're still standing?" His brows furrowed in surprise before his expression turned cold."Well, since you survived, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"Before the words even fully left his mouth, his steel whip lashed out, streaking through the air like a venomous serpent, striking straight at Chase's throat!"You're courting death."Chase let out a cold laugh, his hand shooting out to seize the whip. With a forceful yank, he sent the warr
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?" H
"Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform
The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored
At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
