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
Blood sprayed across the ground, staining it crimson.Chase stood where he was. His clothing was immaculate, and his expression was calm. Even his heartbeat was steady as if nothing had happened."Hmm?" Inside Cooper Manor, Wyman Cooper abruptly woke from his slumber.He draped on a robe, opened the window, and gazed toward the street's end before letting out a cold snort. "As expected of the remnants of the Collins family. You dare storm into the Coopers' domain, ignoring my authority?"A shadow streaked across the air.Wyman leaped from his room, gracefully stepping along rooftops. He crossed over 30 feet in an instant, landing just steps from Chase."Chase, long time no see," Wyman said with hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was fixed on Chase. "Last time we met, you weren't even qualified to face me. And now, you dare come looking for trouble?""You want to kill me?" Chase asked indifferently."Kill you? Of course!" Wyman sneered. His expression was venomous. "I spare
In Chase's navel region, his true energy churned and coalesced into a swirling vortex of liquid energy, circulating powerfully within.He clenched his fists tightly, and his skin glinted with a metallic sheen.Every part of his body—his skin, bones, internal organs, and even his Sea of True Energy—was infused and refined by the true energy surging through him. His strength surged, increasing severalfold."Although my power has improved, it's still lacking a critical edge," Chase muttered with a faint smile."The martial monarch realm…" With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of true energy shot forth, smashing a distant wall.A thunderous explosion erupted, reducing the wall to dust and rubble."The destructive power still isn't enough," Chase noted, narrowing his eyes as a sharp glint flashed across them. "My true energy is still too weak.""It seems I'll need to pay the Coopers a visit," he murmured to himself.For Chase, the martial monarch realm—the next stage after martia
Chase extended his hand, catching the item that fell from the man in black's robes. He smashed the man's skull with a single palm strike without hesitation.This was the second time he had encountered someone from the Coopers."The Coopers?" Chase sneered coldly.He would not tolerate anyone provoking him. The Coopers wanted him dead, but he also had every intention of wiping them out.…Cooper Manor was located in the eastern district of Capital City. Kolson Cooper, head of the Coopers, sat in the main hall. To his right was an elderly man with a gaunt face and gray, wiry hair.At that moment, the elderly man was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his eyes shot open."Mr. Kolson, there's been trouble," the butler announced as he hurried into the hall.Kolson asked with furrowed brows, "What happened? Don't tell me that item has been stolen?" His tone remained calm. The Coopers had amassed immense wealth after years of operating in Capital City. As a martial arts overlor
This was the culmination of the man in black's years of training, his most powerful trump card. He knew that if he did not stake everything now, his fate would be sealed with death.A wave of murderous intent surged through the forest like a tidal wave.The man's body swelled. His once gaunt frame transformed into a hulking, muscular figure. His bulging tendons radiated a terrifying pressure.The man charged forward like a raging bull, exuding ferocity, brutality, and unrestrained destruction."Die!" he roared as his fist barreled toward Chase like a falling meteor."The one dying today is you." Chase's lips curled into a cold smirk.In the blink of an eye, he leaped forward, meeting the attack head-on with a single punch.The deafening impact shattered the ground beneath them. Both figures were blasted backward, and blood spattered into the air.The man spewed blood from his mouth and nose, his chest caving inward. His ribcage was shattered, leaving his torso a grotesque, sunk
"Get lost!" Chase's body twisted unnaturally like a phantom as he slipped to the side. He stepped forward swiftly, launching a devastating punch into the man in black's abdomen.The sound of ribs shattering echoed in the air as the man was sent flying once again.At this moment, rage no longer clouded the man's mind—it was replaced by fear."How is this possible? How can his speed be this fast? I clearly locked onto his movements..." He was baffled, unable to comprehend how anyone could achieve such blinding speed. Even after exhausting himself and burning his true energy essence, he still lost track of Chase.Footsteps echoed. They were slow, deliberate, and unyielding.Chase approached him. His expression was impassive and cold, and there was a faint smile playing on his lips. "You like playing with fire? Then, let's see how you handle the Flames of Heaven."A flicker of flame leaped forth.Chase opened his mouth, exhaling a crimson spiritual flame that morphed into a fiery lo
At that moment, the man in black unleashed his full power, amplifying the technique's terrifying might.Chase's face paled as he realized the danger. Without hesitation, he activated a secret technique.Pure and potent true energy surged through his body, merging into his flesh and meridians. His aura surged, reaching unprecedented heights.A series of thunderous crashes echoed as Chase's fist tore through the overwhelming tide of true energy, obliterating it into nothingness.Simultaneously, he pushed his speed to the limit. He transformed into a blurred shadow as he charged forward."This lunatic dares to attack head-on? Does he have no fear of death?" the man in black thought. He was momentarily bewildered. Before he could react, a massive fist loomed in his vision, hurtling toward him.He raised his fist to block, colliding directly with Chase's strike.In an instant, an overpowering, unstoppable force surged through him like a tidal wave. The sheer impact sent the man in bl
Suddenly, a crimson blade arc slashed through the sky, hurtling toward Chase."Get back!" Chase barked, swinging his sword and unleashing a burst of sword energy that obliterated the blade arc.Leaping into the air, Chase nimbly dodged the man's relentless attacks.Sparks flew as metal clashed repeatedly, creating a cacophony of sharp, ringing collisions.As Chase evaded, he felt the terrifying intensity of the man's strength. Each attack narrowly missed him, heightening the sense of peril.The man's punches and kicks carried immense force, each blow capable of exerting tens of thousands of pounds of pressure. Some strikes reached nearly double that strength, enough to crush even martial supremes into pulp, leaving not a single bone intact.Despite the overwhelming power, Chase's body remained resilient. His skin glowed faintly, as if forged from golden steel. Though the man's strikes caused some pain, they failed to inflict serious damage.Meanwhile, Chase observed his opponent
"Burning blood essence to gain temporary power?" Chase scoffed. "That's a reckless method."He understood that martial monarchs of martial arts could ignite their blood essence to unleash power far beyond their limits. However, doing so required an extensive recovery period and inflicted irreversible damage on their bodies.The old man's intent was clear—he wanted to drag Chase down with him.'He's insane!' Chase thought grimly.Realizing he could not hold back any longer, Chase activated his sword essence. Sword light burst forth, slicing through the old man's last line of defense.Blood splattered everywhere.The old man's chest was pierced, and his body collapsed to the ground like a broken ragdoll. A wooden hairpin punctured his heart through his chest, leaving the old man utterly powerless. His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with venomous hatred."I curse you! I curse you to eternal damnation…" Before he could finish his words, he let out his final breath.Chase approac
The old man roared in fury, raising his hand to strike as surging true energy erupted from his body. It was wild and unrestrained.Their fists collided with a resounding impact.The old man felt a powerful force ripple through him, shattering his fist and dislocating his entire right arm.He let out a piercing scream of agony.Before he could recover, Chase's left leg swung out, his knee slamming into the old man's abdomen.The dull sound echoed as the old man was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground. Blood spurted from his mouth in thick droplets.He struggled to get up, and his face was pale and twisted with rage."You brat! How dare you ambush me? I'll tear you apart!" the old man screamed furiously.Chase shook his head calmly. "Old fool, is that all you've got? I haven't even used my full strength, yet you can't handle it?""What did you just say?" The old man's face turned red with anger, almost causing him to cough up blood again. "You insolent wretch! I'
