“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
Quinn was wearing all black as she welcomed everyone who came to pay their respects with red eyes.Meanwhile, Chase stood next to her, trying his best to fulfill his promise to Charles.At this moment, the host made an announcement from outside. His voice stammered as he said, “T-The Harrigans are here.”At that moment, the chaotic scene plunged into silence.The Harrigans!They were the most elite family in South River City!Then, a handsome young man in black walked in with other people.As the guests watched the young man, they exclaimed, “It’s Huey Harrigan!”The room was in an uproar.Huey Harrigan was the noblest in South River City!His father was the head of the Harrigans, Don Harrigan; his mother was the CEO of a global luxury brand; his uncle was Dick Horseley—the Kingpin of the South Sea.Even Sam, the Kingpin of South River City, was nothing before Dick.One could say that Huey was untouchable in South River City, and all of the rich children had to be respectfu
To be honest, Quinn was moved by what Huey said.After all, this family was her grandfather's blood and sweat. Moreover, his dying wish was for her to help the family prosper.However, she had already sworn that she would only marry Rocky.If she gave in to Huey because of her family, how would she face Rocky in the future?When she thought about this, Quinn took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t marry you. Please give up because I already have a fiancé.”After she said that, Reginald and his brothers were stunned. Gradually, they showed an ecstatic expression.They were rejoicing over the brat rejecting Huey!Huey’s face fell as he said, “You already have a fiancé, huh? I'd like to see who dares to steal my woman from me.”At this moment, Chase stepped forward and said with a half smile, “I'm the one who stole your woman.”Quinn then said magnanimously, “That’s right. Let me introduce you to my fiancé, Chase.”“What?”The crowd was in uproar. This news was too muc
Huey’s heart was filled with bitter resentment, but when he saw Chase’s eyes, his heart turned cold. He wanted to challenge Chase, but he could not get the words out.He felt that Chase would really kill him.Everyone’s hearts were racing.Gosh, the son of the most elite family in South River City was slapped in public and rendered speechless!Finally, Reginald came back to his senses and stepped out. He pointed at Chase’s nose while yelling, “Do you know who Mr. Huey is? How dare you slap him?! Do you want to die?”He looked like he was indignant at the injustice, but on the inside, he was over the moon.Since that brat dared to offend the Harrigans, he was done for! Not only that, but even Quinn was doomed!“Oh yeah?” Chase lifted his eyebrows and said, “If he wishes to seek revenge, he can just come at me. I'll welcome him with open arms.”Everyone inhaled sharply. Was this kid seriously provoking the Harrigans by himself?He was mad!He must be a madman!Even Quinn was s
“It’s because of you that we've offended the Harrigans!“It’s because of you that I've ruined Grandpa’s blood and sweat!“It’s because of you that I've become the sinner of the family!”Quinn looked at the empty funeral scene and cried hysterically.A look of self-blame flashed across Chase’s eyes when he saw Quinn breaking down.He did not think that he would trigger her so much by doing what he just did.At the end of the day, she was just a vulnerable woman whose loved one passed away.Chase ignored her resistance and pulled her into a hug. He comforted her, “I’m sorry, but I'll help you. Trust me, the Harrigans won’t do anything to you.”“How will you help me?”Quinn pushed him away and roared, “Chase, who do you think you are?!“You’re just a country bumpkin! It'll be so easy for the Harrigans to destroy you.“Whatever, there’s no point saying anything now.”Quinn wiped her tears and said while pretending to be strong, “Come with me now.”“Where to?” Chase asked.“Yo
Quinn’s face turned red as she stammered, “I-I don’t have anything to say. C-Can you let me go?”“That’s more like it.” Chase then released her.“You rascal!” Quinn wanted to slap him the moment she was free.However, her phone rang at this moment. It was from Elaine. “Miss Norris, b-bad news! The shareholders are having a meeting, and they want to replace you.”“What?”Quinn’s expression changed. After she hung up, she rushed to the company with Chase.The shareholders sat together in the meeting room of Blizzard Group. They were discussing whether they should dismiss Quinn as the CEO of the company.A woman who was dressed to the nines and wearing heavy makeup scoffed. “What’s there to be confused about? Quinn brought such a huge loss to the company, so we have to dismiss her and elect someone better.”She was Jeanie Shuhman, the only female shareholder of Blizzard Group.She had been coveting the position of CEO for a very long time. However, since Quinn was from the Norris
Chase not only stunned Jeanie with his slap, but he even stunned the other shareholders.“You scoundrel, who are you? How dare you slap Miss Shuhman?”One of the shareholders who was close to Jeanie got up and scolded him.The rest of the shareholders also glared at Chase.However, Chase said calmly, “Quinn is my wife. I’m already being very kind by just slapping her once for wanting to dismiss her.”Jeanie let out a growl before pouncing on Quinn while making threatening gestures.“Quinn, you bitch! How dare you allow that loser to slap me?! I’m going to kill you!”Chase slapped Jeanie again, sending her to the floor. The other side of Jeanie’s face was also swollen.Jeanie almost passed out from the humiliation of getting slapped twice.“Anyone else wants to dismiss my wife?” Chase scanned the room.Everyone took a few steps back, not daring to say anything.They were used to being aloof and arrogant. They had never met anyone who would use violence just because of a sligh
“If you find a way to reach an agreement with La Fleur in three days and help the company through this crisis, you'll still be the CEO. We won't have any objections.“On the contrary, if you can’t, don’t blame us for being merciless.”“That’s not all.” Chase suddenly chimed in. He pointed at Jeanie and said, “If Quinn manages to get the investment, I want to add on another stake. I want this bitch to clear out her shares and get out of Quinn’s company!”Jeanie scoffed in contempt and said, “Alright. If you get the investment, I can give up my shares and transfer them to you unconditionally. Everyone here is my witness.”“Alright, it’s a deal, then.”Since things had escalated to this point, Quinn knew she had no choice. She could only leave with Chase.After the two left, Jeanie showed a pleased grin. She thought, 'You fell for my tricks, you bitch.'I'm the lover of the manager of La Fleur. As long as I say something, you might not even be able to step into the doors of La Fle
"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.
