The security guards turned and left when they heard this.“Don’t go, come back!“Ow! I’m begging you! Stop hitting me…”Jeanie was crying out in pain and begging for the beating to stop, but it only made Owen hit her harder.Quinn could no longer take the sight when she saw this and went forward to stop it.“Don’t. Have you forgotten how arrogant she was?” Chase said as he enjoyed the show.Jeanie could only keep begging, “Miss Norris, please. I’m begging you. Please help me…“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have kept going against you, and I shouldn’t have plotted to take over your position as CEO..”Jeanie's face was badly bruised, and even her front teeth had been broken. She was no longer as arrogant as before.Chase finally asked when he thought she had enough, “What are you going to do about the matter of giving up your shares?”“I’ll agree to it. Just please save me from this madman,” Jeanie pleaded.Chase prepared a share transfer agreement for Quinn and placed it in front
“I bought this villa a few years back, and I stay here most of the time.”Quinn explained to Chase while pointing at a bedroom on the second floor. "That will be your room from now on.” Even though she was not willing to live with a man, Chase was now her husband in name. She could not let him wander around homeless.Besides, Chase had offended Huey, and Huey was determined to hurt Chase. She could not let anything happen to him.“Are we considered to be living together now?” Chase said to her with a small smile.“Don’t even think about it.”Quinn’s pretty face blushed as she glared at him. “I just feel sorry that you have nothing and nowhere to stay in South River City, which is why I'm letting you stay here. Don’t overthink this.“But we need to come to an agreement before you move in.”“Go ahead,” Chase said.“First, you’re not allowed to touch me, not even hold my hand.“Second, you aren’t allowed into my room without my permission. And you can’t touch any of my things,
Quinn’s kitchen was huge and luxurious.Chase was speechless when he opened her refrigerator.It was worth over a hundred thousand, but there was nothing in there but a dry pack of pasta.Spices left on the stove such as salt and pepper were all brand new and still wrapped up.Pasta was the only thing Chase could cook for her. Considering that she was a working woman who was constantly networking, he did not put in any pungent ingredients such as garlic.Despite the lack of ingredients, he managed to serve up the pasta.Quinn sniffed the pasta and was surprised as she said, “It smells really good. I can’t believe you really do know how to make a meal.”Chase said, “There’s nothing left in your house but pasta. You’ll need to make do with this for now. I’ll make more for you if this isn’t enough.”He had stayed in the mountains for decades, and Chase had learned to cook because he was in charge of taking care of the old man.Quinn was too hungry and immediately dug into the pas
Chase shook his head and said, “Get your men to stand down. I know how to handle this.”“Alright.” Bianca left with her men.Chase looked coldly into the dark night. “You asked for this, Harrigans.”…When Bianca got home, she immediately told William about what happened.She asked, “Grandpa, the Harrigans seem determined to kill Dr. Collins. What should we do?”William grunted coldly and said, “Warn Huey Harrigan to stay away from Dr. Collins in the name of the Coopers. Tell him that Dr. Collins is our benefactor. If he dares touch Dr. Collins, he'll be making an enemy out of us.”“Grandpa, the Harrigans are South River City’s most elite family…” Bianca was shocked by his words. She did not expect her grandfather to be hot-tempered enough to choose a direct confrontation with the Harrigans.“It doesn’t matter if they're the most elite family.”William laughed coldly and said, “Don’t forget that Dr. Collins has the Dragon Soul Ring. The Harrigans are lesser than ants in the
About ten minutes later in the homestay located in South River City’s suburbs, Chase was here to see Julia again. He was disappointed that there was no improvement in Julia’s mental condition.She was still afraid of strangers and sunlight. She was even frequently disturbed by nightmares of the fire.Sam could not help asking, “Sir, how about if I send her overseas to a psychiatric hospital?”“It’s fine.” Chase shook his head and said, “I can treat her. All I require is some things that I might need you to prepare for me.”“Please tell me what they are.” Sam perked up immediately.Chase wrote down a medical prescription. “I need you to use your connections to help me find these medical herbs, especially the main herb, Sky Spirit Flower.”“Secondly, I need you to find me a calligraphy pen. Not the ordinary kind, but the kind of pen that has spiritual energy.”Sam looked at Chase in bewilderment. “A calligraphy pen with spiritual energy?”He had lived quite a life but had never
Early the next morning, Chase woke up to find Quinn gone. There was a note on the table.[I’m off for work. I made you breakfast. It’s in the insulation cabinet. Finish it before coming to work. By the way, I’ve also washed your clothes. Hang them out to dry yourself.]“This woman isn’t as cold as I thought…” Chase smiled and took his breakfast out of the insulation cabinet to finish it.After he was done hanging his clothes out to dry, Chase headed straight for Blizzard Group.Every single person in Blizzard Group from the low-level employees to the higher management was especially busy at work. Even lunch was settled at their office tables.Chase knocked on the door and entered the CEO’s office. Quinn looked up at him and said gleefully, “You’re here just in time, Chase. I need you to take this document over to La Fleur and get them to stamp it.”Chase had no idea how to react to this task. He asked, “Where’s your secretary? Isn’t this supposed to be her job?”“Elaine is meeti
Chase was not angered. Instead, he replied with amusement, “Will you believe it if I say that you won’t be the assistant general manager for very long?”Edward was instantly enraged. “Nonsense!”Riley said coldly, “You shouldn’t say something like that even if you’re jealous of Edward being better than you, Chase.”“I’m jealous of him?” Chase laughed.“Aren’t you?”Riley was full of herself as she looked at Chase. There was a look of disgust on her face. “Edward is now the company’s assistant general manager despite his young age while you’re just a minor employee. What else could it be if you’re not jealous of him?”“Believe whatever you want. Trust me, the man you're so proud of will return to his true form very soon.”Chase did not even bother arguing with her and left after saying that.Riley’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Henry.After she hung up, she quickly called out to Chase and said, “Wait. My dad wants to talk to you.”Chase frowned and took the phone fr
Raymond and Anna were gleeful at this idea.They knew that Edward was about to play Chase like a fool.There were two security guards dozing off at the parking entrance of Tangent Hotel.Chase stopped right at the entrance, but the boom barrier did not move. He pressed on the horn gently.The security guards jumped. They were about to curse out loud when they saw the little gold man on the Rolls-Royce. They immediately got to work and raised the boom barrier.Chase nodded thanks to both of them and drove into the parking lot.One of the security guards followed him inside and waited for Chase to park the car. He approached Chase to curry favor with him. “Do you need me to help you park the car, sir?”Chase wanted to reject the offer but Henry suddenly called him on the phone.“Thanks for the help.”Chase handed his keys over to the security guard and walked toward an elevator.“It’s no problem at all.”The security guard took the keys from him. He had met many rich men who w
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
