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
“If that’s what you think, you can go ahead and buy what you need on your own.” Riley left after saying this coldly to Chase.Chase shrugged and walked away to hail a taxi by the road. “Take me to Emgrand Group.”Riley entered a Starbucks and sat down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She took out her phone and sent a message to her chat group: [This sucks! This really sucks!]There were only five people in the chat group, and they were all colleagues who got along with Riley.It was not long before a woman named Anna Clayton replied to her message: [What’s wrong, Riley? Who upset you this time?][My dad found some random country bumpkin and made him my fiancé.] Riley finally found someone she could vent to.[What?][Woah! Are you for real?]The group chat immediately became active.[Why would I lie to you?]Riley typed angrily: [The worst thing about this is that my dad is making me get him a job at our company. My dad claims that it would be easier for hi
“Sir, the Quaids had their eyes on the land of Green Hills Orphanage 12 years ago. They tried everything they could to convince the orphanage director, Gideon Hills, to give up the orphanage, but he wouldn’t budge. "In the end, they burned down Green Hills and grabbed the opportunity to take the land…“The Quaids later became one of the five elite families of South River City because of that land!“I’ve received information that the Quaids will be attending an auction three days later to bid on an emerald. Rumor has it that the emerald is a remnant from Green Hills Orphanage that is supposed to be magical.”Chase looked like he was ready to murder them. Sam felt as though an invisible pair of hands was strangling him, and it sent chills down his spine.“The Quaids have to pay for this!” Chase smiled, but there was a chilling look in his eyes.They had murdered 108 people in that fire for a piece of land.He immediately instructed, “Make preparations. I'll attend that auction in
Quinn’s pretty face lit up. “Mr. Collins, I’d like to find out if the miracle doctor is as good as you say. Is he able to treat ALS?”She had asked this question because her grandfather, Charles, was suffering from ALS. It was known as one of the top five terminal illnesses in the world. ALS patients normally would only have three to five years to live.The symptoms included muscle atrophy, stiffness of limbs, and paralysis. It even affected the respiratory muscles, which would cause the patient to die of respiratory failure.Charles' condition was at the late stage, and he could die at any moment.“ALS?”Sam was taken aback. He replied seriously, “If it was some other doctor, there might not be hope, but it shouldn’t be a problem if it's the miracle doctor who treated me five years ago.”Quinn felt as though something had gone off in her mind, and her breathing got a little more ragged.If it were someone else, she would not have believed it. She might even think she was being
“Huh?”Quinn and Elaine were taken aback at first, but they later laughed out loud in unison.“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I, Collins? You’re saying that you live here?”Elaine laughed in great exaggeration. “Do you know how much a villa is worth here? It can easily go up to 30 or 40 million. A bumpkin like you can work hard your entire life and you won’t even be able to afford a bathroom here.”“Oh, I can’t take it anymore. You’re making me laugh too hard.”Her hands were clasping on her tummy, and she could not stop laughing.Quinn had an angry smile on her face. “Tell me, which is your house?”“It’s at the peak. I think it’s called Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1 or something,” Chase replied casually.Quinn laughed sardonically.If he had mentioned another random villa, she might have believed him.However, Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No.1 was the address of the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. Why would this country bumpkin be staying there?She looked at Chase sympathetica
Everyone looked toward the voice’s direction and saw Chase standing at the door.“Who are you, young man?” Dr. Strickland’s face fell as he asked unhappily.“You don’t need to know who I am."Chase took a step forward and sniggered. “The old man in bed has two years more to live, but you’re claiming his time is up. That’s disregard for human life.”A stranger’s death had nothing to do with Chase, but this person had belittled the old man, and Chase had to do something about it.It was because Chase’s master had gone by the moniker of ‘The Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ when he was traveling the world, and Chase had inherited this title. He had the responsibility of defending the honor of this title.Dr. Strickland was enraged to hear Chase claim that he was disregarding human life. “What did you just say, you rascal?”Everyone turned to look at Chase coldly.The doctor’s name was Elijah Strickland, and he came from a family that had been in the medical industry for hundreds of y
The man had already burned through his life force, giving everything he had, and yet the outcome remained unchanged."How can your strength be this overwhelming? I don't believe it!"The black-clad man roared in defiance, his body emanating an even more potent aura of malice. Suddenly, a blinding light enveloped him, and his form grew indistinct. It was as though he were dissolving into foam.In the blink of an eye, he completely vanished."A mirage?" Chase narrowed his eyes but quickly shook his head. "Such a trivial illusion couldn't possibly deceive me."He struck the void with a powerful punch, shattering the illusory realm in an instant and exposing its fraudulent nature.A metallic arrow shot toward Chase.Chase caught it mid-air with a swift motion and, with a forceful yank, snapped it in half.Suddenly, dozens of similar metallic arrows flew at him from all directions, sealing off every possible escape route and raining down upon him like a storm."Child's play!" Chase
This encounter made Chase realize he needed to further elevate his martial prowess.Only by reaching the martial arts overlord stage could he harness the full potential of heaven and earth's energy, manipulate spiritual power, and unleash the true strength of a martial artist—perhaps even surpassing the power of a martial arts overlord."I must break through again quickly! Without it, I won't even have the strength to defend myself in true danger!"Gripping his sword tightly, Chase slashed forward, tearing open a rift in the thunderous net trapping him. Seizing the opportunity, he leaped out of the net's confines and landed firmly on the ground."You insolent brat! How dare you kill our head?!"The black-clad man charged toward him with murderous intent, his voice hoarse with rage. "Once I kill you, I'll grind your bones into dust!""Hmph. I wonder what your head would think, seeing you die at my hands," Chase replied with an icy smirk.Hearing this, the black-clad man froze, hi
The burly man let out a muffled groan, clutching his injured left shoulder as his face turned pale from the pain."What are you fools standing there for?" the youth shouted angrily.The remaining two men moved in, one from the left and one from the right. They attempted to flank Chase."Get lost!" Chase roared, his fists cutting through the air with a sharp whistle, like a tempest sweeping away leaves. He delivered two powerful punches.The three men staggered backward in unison, visibly shaken."How is this possible…"The three of them were stunned. It was as if Chase's strength had grown exponentially in mere moments."I'll test how strong he really is!"From the window, a shadowy figure appeared silently. He launched a palm strike that carried a fierce wave of energy at Chase.Chase turned and met the attack head-on with his own palm. The black-clad figure was sent flying, crashing into the courtyard wall and coughing up a mouthful of blood."H-How can this be?""I'm at t
The potency of Nirvana Pills was extraordinary. Even consuming just half a pill had greatly enhanced Chase's physical strength.The energy coursed through his body, cleansing his muscles, organs, and bones. It made his physical constitution even more resilient.Finally, Chase opened his eyes, his gaze radiating a brilliant intensity.At that moment, he felt a boundless power surging within him. Every movement he made, no matter how subtle, carried a mysterious rhythm. It was as if he could harm his enemies from a thousand miles away with just a simple gesture."So, this is the martial arts overlord realm?" Chase murmured to himself.He firmly believed that he would eventually shatter all limitations, step into a new realm, and dominate the heavens. He could stand unrivaled across the universe.Chase then stood up. He pushed open the door and stepped out of the room, ready to leave. However, just as he exited, his expression darkened. He clenched his fist and punched forward, stri
The dagger was forged from millennia-old ironwood and coated with a potent toxin. Even martial arts overlords would not be able to withstand its effects upon contact.However, to Wilder's shock, Chase neither dodged nor flinched.The dagger struck Chase's chest, sending sparks flying in all directions. Chase remained completely unharmed, while the dagger was deflected and sent flying."Impossible!" Wilder's eyes widened in disbelief.His dagger was incomparably sharp. Yet Chase's body showed no damage at all?"Now, it's my turn," Chase said coldly.In an instant, Chase's figure flickered, closing the distance between them. His palm pressed firmly against Wilder's crown. With a surge of energy, he shattered Wilder's skull. His lifeless body crumpled to the ground."Dad!" Wyatt howled in anguish, his face contorting with grief.Chase turned slowly to face him.He regarded Wyatt's tear-streaked face with an unfeeling gaze. "Remember, I'm not someone you can afford to provoke. I
However, Chase appeared amused as though he had heard a ridiculous joke. He shook his head and said, "A mere martial arts overlord? You're not worth my effort."He had no interest in bullying ants, especially one who was already wounded.Wilder's eyes filled with malice as he snarled, "Since you won't comply while I'm being nice, don't blame me for what I'll do next!"With a slight sway, Wilder charged forward, appearing before Chase in an instant. He raised his hand and struck out with his palm.The air cracked with a sharp blast as Wilder unleashed his full strength, a cold smile playing on his lips.Chase, however, did not move. Using only the strength of his body, he faced the attack head-on."What's this?" Wilder's grin deepened into a sinister smirk.Chase was not dodging or even assuming a defensive stance. Was he out of his mind?A muffled sound echoed as Chase raised his right hand and grabbed Wilder's wrist, yanking him forward.Caught off guard, Wilder staggered and
Without hesitation, Chase turned and executed a movement technique, retreating with the speed of lightning.A golden streak of light shot through the air and slammed into the spot where Chase had just stood. The ground exploded. Dirt scattered, and fragments of rock flew in all directions.Chase's steps halted for a brief moment. Had he not dodged in time, that strike would have undoubtedly injured him."Who's there?!" Chase narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.A chilling scoff echoed. The surrounding space trembled slightly as a towering, imposing figure emerged from the void.This man exuded overwhelming murderous intent, like a demon king descending upon the mortal realm. His cold, piercing gaze locked onto Chase."One of the Brennans of the martial arts domain," Chase muttered as his pupils constricted upon seeing the man.This was Wilder Brennan—a prodigy in the Brennan family. He had mastered the Black Iron Divine Art and was known for defeating opponents
"My god, someone actually dares to provoke the Brennans in this mountain range. Is he insane?""He's doomed!"Nearby disciples passing through exclaimed in disbelief."The Brennans are the foremost of all noble families!""That man may be strong, but compared to the Brennans, the gap is insurmountable!""The Brennans are not alone; behind them stand other powerful families!"Not far away, Chase stood with a cold, indifferent expression.He felt no fear toward the Brennans. Even if the situation had escalated because of him, retreat was not an option. Besides, he never planned to run.From the moment he entered the martial world, he had made his decision. If he caused trouble, he would see it through to the end.He would become the strongest, dominating the world and commanding respect from all."You little bastard, release Mr. Wyatt!"A sinister voice suddenly echoed nearby. Chase looked up to see an elder in ornate, luxurious robes standing before him, his face twisted with
Wyatt growled fiercely, "We're leaving!" He turned sharply, intending to flee."Stop right there," Chase commanded with a cold and piercing voice, making Wyatt's heart tighten in fear.Wyatt hesitated but turned his head back, glaring at Chase. "You dare stop me? Do you have a death wish?"Chase took a slow step forward with a faint smile on his lips. "A mere martial arts saint dares talk big? Weren't you boasting moments ago about killing me? What happened? Lost your nerve?"Before Wyatt could respond, Chase raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.The sound echoed as Wyatt's cheek turned red and swollen."You bastard!" Wyatt roared in fury, summoning his spiritual energy and unleashing his favored martial technique in a desperate strike toward Chase's head.Nonetheless, Chase remained composed. He casually raised a hand and firmly grabbed Wyatt's shoulder mid-attack.Instantly, Wyatt's face twisted in pain.The sickening sound of bone snapping filled the air.W
