Chase emptied everything in there and prepared to leave. However, he suddenly sensed strong murderous intent from afar.There was a loud gush of the wind.He turned to look and saw a group of martial artists dressed in black coming at him in an attack. A young man was leading the group. The man stared sinisterly at Chase and asked coldly, "Were you the one who ambushed the Hawkinses' library?" He was tall and slender and had a good-looking face. He looked like a gentleman, but his eyes were cold and cruel."Are you Spencer Hawkins?" Chase narrowed his eyes and recognized the young man. "What do you want?""Cut the crap! You stole valuable books from the library. I have to detain you in the prison located in the Hawkinses' ancestral land. You'll suffer a fate worse than death!" Spencer said sinisterly.The prison was used to lock up members of the Hawkins family who committed crimes. Most of those locked up in that prison were guilty members or extended members of the Hawkins fam
"You killed my brother, Chase Collins, and you took everything my father left to me. We need to deal with this sooner or later!" Spencer attacked while roaring.There was a sharp look in his eye as he clenched his teeth while saying, "If you want to kill me, I'll make sure you die with me!" Spencer shouted.Chase immediately sensed the energy within Spencer began to surge. Spencer was covered with lightning-like marks, which emanated powerful waves."Oh no!" Chase instantly guessed that Spencer must have taken some sort of pill that temporarily heightened his protective energy.A notion moved in Chase's mind. A soft, milky light glowed on his storage ring and eventually enveloped Chase. The next moment, a vast power descended to shield him, and it instantly shot out. Everything happened fast.Chase had reacted quickly, but Spencer was even faster.He could not continue to stay where he was in such circumstances. Chase decided to escape right away."Trying to run?" Spencer sneere
"Spencer!" Chase's eyes were filled with rage, and murder boiled within them. "Die!"Spencer waved his weapon around and made an attack directly at Chase.The sounds of weapons clashing did not stop.It was not long before the look on Chase's face changed.Chase had vastly underestimated Spencer's abilities, especially after Spencer used the Violent Blood Technique. His power surged severalfold, and his physique's strength increased as well. It did not take him long to beat Chase back."Do you think you can defeat me?" Chase smiled coldly at him.He suddenly leaped into the air. True energy burst out fiercely from his body and formed into a brilliant gold light that lightened up the skies. The brilliance of his body made him look like a huge, burning sun."What's this?!" Spencer's eyes widened as his heart beat wildly."Suppress!" Chase roared.The lightning coiled around Spencer's body broke apart like glass. His clothes were ripped to pieces, and cracks appeared on his skin.
He knelt in front of Chase."P-Please have mercy on me. I admit defeat. I'll surrender. Please don't kill me!" His voice quivered.Everyone present was shocked.No one expected Chase to be so powerful. Even the direct descendent of the Hawkins family could not defeat him. This was just too unbelievable."If we had such talent in the Secret Sect, we'd be at the top.""Chase Collins will become a true martial arts powerhouse if his cultivation goes through another breakthrough."A group of people began whispering among each other. They were looking at Chase with fear and respect.Spencer looked grim. His knees were on the ground, and he was trembling. He was furious and humiliated."Chase Collins, I swear I won't let you off. Just you wait! I'll make sure you regret what you did. I'll get the other Secret Sects to come together and kill you!" Spencer roared.He knew that he would not live. However, he refused to be killed in humiliation. That was why Spencer chose to let it all
Such power was something no one could imagine."This is bad! Run!" someone yelled in a panic.Everyone tried to escape.Chase was not afraid at all. He grunted coldly. "What's the rush to leave when you're already here?"He walked in the air and went after all those people. He stepped in the air like it was the ground. Every step brought him forward hundreds of yards. It took only a few seconds for him to go thousands of yards and appear behind those people."No! Help! Help!" someone howled and tried to escape with all his might, but it was pointless. Chase was too fast. He caught up to the man in a blink of an eye.Chase waved his right arm with his fingers opened up like a claw. He crushed everything that blocked his way. Chase reached out for one of those men.Blood splattered everywhere.Chase crushed the man's neck with just one grip. He broke off the man's head and made a grab for two more men. The three remaining men died on the spot.He took care of four men instantly
In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”
Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protec

Outside the library, the guards were startled by the sudden commotion."Intruder alert!"Within moments, hurried footsteps echoed as guards approached the library in a frenzy.Chase casually tossed the long spear into the air and lightly pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot. His figure darted forward like a phantom.…Meanwhile, from the opposite direction of the library, two figures were rapidly closing in."The library is under attack!""I can feel a surge of energy that's far beyond the capability of a martial arts saint. Could it be a martial arts overlord?"These two stage-five martial arts saints were skilled fighters stationed by a branch of the Hawkins family to guard the area.As they rushed to investigate, a deafening explosion filled the air.The roof of the library collapsed, releasing a violent energy wave that swept outward, making their robes billow wildly."This is bad!"The two guards were furious. They rushed into the library, only to see a crims
"How could it not be here?" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes. He was certain the Hawkinses' treasured manuals should be stored in this library.Suddenly, his expression shifted as he sensed something unusual.A faint breeze seemed to manifest out of nowhere, followed by a soft green glow that gradually expanded, forming a hazy barrier.Chase focused his mental energy, triggering a subtle yet profound ripple from the depths of his consciousness."Break for me!"His spiritual force surged like thunder, tearing through the barrier in an instant."So, the library not only holds cultivation techniques but is also protected by a spiritual restriction formation! For an ordinary martial arts saint, even someone at the peak stage, breaking through this would be impossible!"With a cold snort, Chase strode confidently toward the center of the library.There, in the heart of the room, sat a skeleton cross-legged. Its surface glowed faintly with a greenish hue, and it radiated a powerful
"Hmm? Someone's approaching," Chase muttered, his brows furrowing together.He sensed several figures drawing near, their presence becoming increasingly apparent."It seems some people aren't ready to give up. Fine. If they've come, they won't be leaving," Chase said, a glint of cold determination flashing in his eyes.Without warning, Chase leaped out of the window and slammed his foot into the ground.The courtyard erupted in a cloud of dust and debris."Chase, prepare to die!"Several figures in black emerged, their auras sharp and menacing. All of them were martial arts saints who were exuding lethal intent.Four blades streaked toward Chase, each gleaming with deadly precision."Child's play," Chase remarked with a sneer. With a casual wave of his hand, he deflected the incoming attacks.The sheer force of his strike was overwhelming, like the weight of a mountain crashing down.In an instant, two of the martial arts saints exploded into clouds of blood and gore, leaving
"Fine! As long as you spare my life, I swear eternal loyalty to you. I'll serve as your slave or servant if that's what it takes!" Luis declared without hesitation. He knew too well that if he refused, death would be his only outcome.Luis was not afraid of dying—he simply could not accept defeat. A lifetime of prestige was ruined in an instant."I, Luis Hawkins, swear to the heavens that I'll submit to Chase Collins and never betray him. Should I break this oath, I vow to meet a terrible end!" Luis raised his hand and spoke in a firm, resolute tone.Chase scoffed, his expression tinged with disdain. He had no intention of believing Luis, and the mockery in his eyes was evident. "Luis, you think I don't see through your games? Do you think I'm unaware that you're merely stalling for time?""H-How do you know that?" Luis narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them.Chase chuckled coldly. "Luis, I've dealt with countless schemers and liars. Your petty tricks? They don'
