Riley finally burst out in the end, “Edward, he has been in there for almost an entire morning. Why isn’t he out yet?”“Don’t worry, Riley. I’ve already told my uncle about this. He won’t be able to pass the interview.” Even though Edward was also curious about this, he still smiled and comforted her.Anna said gleefully, “That’s right, Riley. Edward’s uncle is the HR manager and holds the power to recruit. If he doesn’t approve of that country bumpkin, he won’t be able to join the company.”Riley felt better when they consoled her about it.That was when they saw Harrison walking out in a hurry with a bag clenched under his armpit.Edward’s eyes lit up as he quickly went to him. “How did it go, Uncle Harrison? You didn’t let that rascal pass the interview, did you?”Harrison slapped Edward without a word. He said with a grim look on his face, “You almost got me in trouble, you ignorant thing.”This slap shocked Edward. Even Riley and the others were stunned.What was happening
“Don’t worry. We won’t say a thing about it. Hurry up and tell us.”Everyone pushed for the story.Anna sniggered and said, “I heard that when Mr. Chalk was interviewing him, Mr. Collins, who's here on an unofficial visit, saw how he was being picked on. Mr. Collins was enraged and called Miss Lawson about it. After that, Mr. Chalk was given a good scolding.”Realization dawned upon Edward. “I knew it. Why else would Uncle Harrison look at me like I’m the enemy and say that I almost got him into trouble? The newly appointed Mr. Collins saw everything.”“Riley, did you hear that? This isn't my fault. That rascal just got lucky.”“He should count his lucky stars.” Riley looked terribly upset.Edward consoled her, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a reason to fire him.”It was soon after work, and Edward needed to negotiate a contract. He suggested bringing along Riley and the others for a learning experience.Chase did not plan to go, but as Riley was going, he had to tag along. Af
“Where exactly could you be?”Bianca clenched her teeth and said with tears in her eyes, “If you can save my grandpa, I'd be willing to take care of you and serve you for life.” Her phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up. “How… How is it Hounddog Creed? Have you found him?”“I’ve found him, Miss Cooper. He said for you to go to Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel to apologize to him personally, “ the man quickly told her.Bianca was not mad and instead cried out with joy when she heard this. “Good, good. This is good news.“Prepare the car. I’m going to the Royal Capital Hotel right now!”In Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel, there was a large, round glass table inside the room that was covered with luxurious food. There were also many bottles of branded alcohol.Edward, who was in a suit, raised his glass of wine to a middle-aged man not far from him. “Mr. Chapman, this is a toast for you. Thank you for honoring us with your presence. Cheers to you.”Before Mr. Chapm
Everyone turned to look at the door and saw a young man walking in with his hands in his pockets.“Chase Collins?”Edward and the others exclaimed in surprise.Riley was delighted to hear someone speak up for her, a little touched even.“Who the hell is this guy? How dare you poke your nose into my business?” Daniel stared at Chase coldly.Chase said nothing. He went to Riley and pulled her protectively behind his back.After that, he picked up a liquor bottle on the table and smashed it into Daniel’s head without another word. “How dare you touch my woman?”“Argh!!!”Daniel screamed and quickly covered his head with his hands. Blood trickled through his fingers.Riley and the others were stunned to see this. Next, their expressions were replaced with fear.Daniel was the general manager of Emgrand Group, and Chase had wounded him.This was bad news!Daniel held his hand in his hands and roared, “How dare you hit me, you lowlife?! I guarantee you that you'll pay terribly fo
The more she talked about it, the angrier she got. In the end, tears of resentment fell down her cheek.Chase looked at her in disappointment, but he still smiled as he said, “What if I refuse to apologize?”Riley almost went crazy with his answer. She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Then you should get out of here. I never want to see you again.”She thought Chase would regret what he said when she said those words and apologize to Daniel.However, Chase did not seem to be affected. All he did was shrug and say, “Alright. I’ll leave.”Chase turned to walk out after that. He was decisive about it.Riley was stunned. She felt a little bad about it as Chase had stood up for her, after all.However, the thought of the trouble he caused wiped out all her feelings of guilt, and they were replaced by anger instead.Edward immediately approached Daniel and groveled, “Mr. Chapman, Chase Collins is the one who hurt you. It has nothing to do with the rest of us.”“That’s right, Mr.
“Alright. I’ll help you on account of your sincerity,” Chase said nonchalantly.“Thank you, Miracle Doctor!” Bianca was crying tears of happiness as she invited him into the car.Riley, Edward, and the others happened to walk out of the hotel at the same time. They were also shocked to see the 18 Rolls-Royces parked outside.They were especially shocked to see so many important figures huddled around a young man as they respectfully invited him into the car.After Chase got inside the car, all 18 of the Rolls-Royces turned around and sped off while everyone looked on in amazement.Anna suddenly exclaimed with a look of disbelief.She pointed at the 18 Rolls-Royces driving away and stammered, “Did you see the person in that car? Why… Why did he look a little like… Chase Collins?”Raymond also exclaimed after Anna said this, “My gosh. I didn’t realize it before you said anything, but I think he looked like Chase Collins too.”Riley and Edward quickly turned to look at the convoy
Elijah was delighted to see Chase. He quickly went forward and lowered his stature at him ashamedly, “Greetings to you, Miracle Doctor!”The medical experts present looked shocked when they saw this.Elijah was a miracle doctor who was known all over South River City, but now, he was bowing to a younger man who was supposedly his junior.Chase nodded nonchalantly and began seriously checking the condition of Mr. Cooper, who was lying in bed.His face fell after a while. “Who allowed you to remove the silver needles from the old man?”He had left the seven silver needles in the elderly Mr. Cooper because they were supposed to help his condition should Chase decide to continue treating him. Who knew someone would remove them?Bianca stepped forward to take a look and turned pale. She quickly asked out loud, “Who did this?”She had specifically instructed them not to touch those seven needles that were pricked into her grandfather's skin.“It was me, Miss Cooper.” An old man with
Chase did not hesitate. With a quiver of his arm, 13 silver needles shot out.13 silver needles were flung out by Chase, and they pierced precisely into Mr. Cooper’s 13 Ghost Acupoints, which included the Third Eye Acupoint, the Ghost Palace, the Ghost Cave, the Eye of the Ghost, and the Ghost Store.Spiritual energy began surging restless as it entered Mr. Cooper’s body.This was the miraculous effect of the 13 needles. They were able to guide the spiritual energy into a person’s body and create hope for life.While Chase was performing the technique, the weather suddenly changed outside the window. A shocking streak of lightning suddenly hit the Coopers’ villa despite the sunny day.This was because the 13 Needles of Hell’s Gate was a technique that went against nature’s order, and Chase’s actions defied it, which was why the lightning was a warning to him.Chase chose to ignore this as he continued infusing vital energy into the 13 needles in order to help Mr. Cooper absorb th
"I'll kill you!" the man in the black robe yelled furiously as his body rapidly expanded. His body got even taller, making him look like the devil himself. He made a mad dash at Chase.The man stomped hard on the ground and leaped into the air as he waved his fists. He turned into a shadow fragment that was so huge that he covered about a three-mile radius range around Chase. He came down on Chase like a typhoon."That's powerful!" Chase's eyes widened. He could feel great pressure from the man. He was a powerful fighter.Chase clenched his teeth and met the attack. Fist and palm collided, and there was an explosion in the air. The man in the black robe smiled tauntingly and kicked hard at Chase with his right leg.The kick was swift and strong, aiming at Chase's head viciously.Chase quickly evaded by moving to the side. The man's kick was too ferocious. The bone in Chase's left arm almost broke when he met the man's attack."There's still time for you to beg for mercy, young ma
The man in the black robe sneered and burst out with energy once more. The demonic aura emanating from him felt hotter than before. He dealt a punch that was like a flaming comet falling to earth. It came fast and furiously.Chase stomped hard on the ground and bent his knees. He sprang up like a coil and moved with great speed and agility. He instantly closed the gap in the distance and raised his leg to whip it hard on the man's chest.A bang echoed in the air. Chase's attack did nothing to the man but managed to cause a tearing pain in his left shoulder. Blood splattered from it.He gave a low exclamation, and there was a flash of caution in his eye.It was just an exchange, but he could confirm that the man in front of him was not an ordinary martial deity. Otherwise, he could not have broken his defense.The man flew backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily onto the ground dozens of miles away. He struggled for a long time before managing to stand up. He was filled with
"Damn it! I shouldn't have been defeated so quickly even if I hadn't healed from my injury!"The man in black clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes slightly. He wanted to kill Chase badly and turn him into dust.He thought that if he exerted some power, the bumpkin in front of him would kneel and beg for mercy, but things turned out differently. That bumpkin had actually faced three moves from him without losing and even made him cough up blood."Roar!"The man suddenly shouted, and the air around began to contort. A terrifying wind galed and took Chase with it.After that, the man leaped like an eagle hunting a rabbit and went for the kill. An eerie light black as ink wisped around his right fist as he dealt out a vicious punch. His punch was like a venomous snake leaping out of the hole. It was precise and vicious, and quick as lightning.Chase's eyes widened as he moved half a foot to the side. It was a close call as the lethal blow almost landed on him. He kicked at the ma
This was a huge palace that stood as tall as the mountains. It was glittering and brilliant with various paintings and images hung on the walls. Some were of deities visiting the moon and playing musical instruments, some were of phoenixes flying through the clouds. There were others of dragons roaring and griffins clawing in a dance. They were lifelike and looked real."Where is this?" Chase looked around in a daze.Meanwhile, deep inside the palace, a man in a purple shirt approached Chase.He had a good-looking face and nice features. The man was tall and exuded a strong aura. He was like a deity."W-Who are you?"Chase was flabbergasted. This man intimidated him. Chase felt a heavy pressure above him, which almost suffocated him."Who are you? Why did you barge into the forbidden land of my ancient country?" The man sounded calm. He had a hand behind his back and looked down on Chase when he spoke."Ancient country?" Chase was taken aback at the man's words. Was this the leg
There was a muffled sound, and the leaf turned into dust. The man's palm was unscathed. All he had was some dust on his sleeve."You…" Chase's eyes widened with great fear. He was aware that all that man had to do was blow some air and Chase would be dead for sure."This can't continue. There'll be hope as long as I'm still alive. I have to leave this godforsaken place right now!" Chase made a quick decision. He stood up right away and made a mad dash for the coastline."Die, you lowly ant!"A roar echoed in the air, and Chase's movement slowed. He felt a chill.A massive power came crashing down like the skyline was collapsing. It suppressed everything in all corners and was suffocating.Chase's knees gave out, his bones cracking. He fell kneeling to the ground. His shoulders were trembling, and he was in great pain."I need to run as far as I can!" Chase was filled with great fear. He gave everything he could to channel true energy and ran crazily to the front."Hmph! Trying
The martial artists who survived in the land where light and dark convened were naturally tainted by evil energy. Their physique would gradually transform, slowly making them a better fit in the nether realm.While within the nether realm, martial artists would experience various hallucinations.They would hear spirits crying and wolves howling. Resentment was everywhere, and evil spirits would constantly appear. That place was covered in dark fog, and spirits roamed. Every corner of it was dangerous and had high death rates. Ordinary people would never dare step into this place.Chase had lived on Earth for 20 years. He trained in martial arts and medical skills from a young age and had seen a lot of this world.However, even he felt a chill down his spine after he was one reading the record on the nether realm."No wonder I keep having the feeling of a mysterious movement at the northeast corner of the martial realm. Could the dark energy from the nether realm have seeped throug
"Unfortunately, we chose to stay behind back then. There's no other way. If we aren't able to stop the balance from being destroyed, the martial realm will meet with catastrophe."All three elders looked at each other and sighed.That was when a skinny middle-aged man suddenly pushed the door open and entered. He gave them a fist and palm salute. "Masters, I have something urgent to report."An emerald slip appeared in the man's hand."Oh? Is there news of the influential families of the martial realm?""I can't believe there's news so soon."All three elders were surprised.It had only been 15 minutes since it happened, and there was already news. That was not easy to obtain.All three elders were top powerhouses with strong capabilities. However, they were hopeful that the news was true and reliable. They took the emerald slip and used the divine sense technique to check the news in it."What?!" "The martial realm's Secret Sect has been destroyed?!"All three of them rais
"I understand it now. This is a spiritual stone tablet with a record of a mysterious Soul Refining Technique!"Chase looked delighted.The Soul Refining Technique was used to refine a person's soul and purify the Origin of the Soul."That's really powerful!"Chase opened his eyes and took a sharp breath. "The things left behind by powerhouses of the nether realm are really incredible. Such treasure is highly valuable. Even a small piece of this would be enough for powerhouses to fight over it!"A notion crossed his mind, and a massive soul energy surged. The spiritual tablet was instantly crushed by the soul energy.The spiritual tablet was crushed to dust and recondensed into an emerald slip that floated in the air. It gradually flew toward Chase."Huh? That isn't right."There was a cold look in Chase's eyes. He discovered a thread of a soul energy's fragment inside the emerald slip.A contorted savage phantom shadow shot out of the emerald slip. It came clawing at Chase wit
"My gosh! How is this happening?!" The skeletal old man panicked. His soul energy sensed that heaven and earth's vitality seemed to be attracted by something when it was around Chase, and it flowed directly into Chase.Meanwhile, the brilliant glow of the sun appeared in the air behind Chase. It burned brightly and blinded those who saw it.A massive Divine Red Phoenix appeared and opened up its wings as it flew in the air. It was ferocious and had an air of danger about it."The Divine Red Phoenix?!"The sight of it put fear in the skeletal old man as his eyes widened. "Who exactly are you?!"Chase ignored him. He had formed into a golden-red phoenix and was emanating a terrifying aura in the air."Burning Sky Technique!"The temperature in the cave suddenly hiked up several hundred degrees due to the burning golden sun. Even the cave walls and ground were melted into lava that started to flow like a river.The skeletal old man screamed in pain as his body turned red instantly
