“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
“It doesn’t matter what it is because you're the one who saved me."William Cooper shook his head and said determinedly, “You’re the esteemed guest of the Coopers from this day onward. If there's anything you need, the Coopers will do everything they can to help you!“May I know your name, Miracle Doctor?”“It’s Collins. You can also call me the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.”“Thank you, Dr. Collins.”William lowered his stature to Chase, and that was when he noticed the purple ring on Chase’s finger. A shocked look appeared on his face.It… It was the Dragon Soul Ring!Anyone who possessed the ring could control the four top financial conglomerates in Bactria!The Coopers may be an influential family in South River City, but they were nothing in Bactria.Even Bianca was looking at Chase with reddened eyes. “Thank you, Dr. Collins. Thank you for saving my grandfather.”Chase shook his head with a small smile.Suddenly, everyone heard a loud thud.They turned to look and saw
"That thing's physique is too hard! My arrows can't shoot through it!" Chase was alarmed. No blade could cut through such solid flesh.Chase took a deep breath and said with clenched teeth, "But I won't lose!"The human-like creature smiled tauntingly. "I can't believe there's an ant-like martial god here!"The creature swung its arm to punch right at Chase. That punch was as powerful as an avalanche. It was extremely strong. A huge dent appeared on the ground from its sheer power.Chase was flying in the air from the hit and crashed heavily into a tree. Coughing up blood, he almost passed out."Damn that beast!" Chase cursed.He did not expect this world's ferocious beasts to be so powerful. One claw could easily hit him into the air.Chase stood up and prepared to escape. However, his body suddenly stiffened. He could sense a lethal danger coming toward him.Blood spurted from Chase's neck. He lifted his head with great difficulty and saw the head of a gigantic, savage snake.
A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded in the sky. A brilliant purple pillar fell with a loud boom, planting itself deep into the ground.Another thunderous explosion was heard.Chase was scared out of his mind. He quickly hugged his head and knelt on the ground. However, nothing happened to him this time."What's going on? I wasn't struck by lightning and burned to a crisp!" Chase stood up in bewilderment. He rubbed his head and found a faint, white scar on it."Huh? Where are my clothes?" Chase suddenly realized that his green shirt looked completely tattered as if it had been torn apart. He had a bandage around his left arm, and his wounds had begun to scab over."Did someone save me?" Chase's eyes narrowed. There was a glint in them. He noticed monster corpses not far off."What's going on?!" Chase strode quickly toward the bodies of black giant pythons.A python swung its tail at him when he got near one of them. Chase flew off from the impact. He crashed hard to the groun
With a loud boom, lightning struck again, landing right next to Chase. The ground exploded, and a deep hole appeared."Yikes!" It frightened Chase so much that he fell sitting on the ground with a pale look on his face.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was terrifying.Chase looked at the sky in fear. All he could see were flashes of dark lightning crossing each other. They looked like they contained unlimited power.Thunder echoed in the air, and lightning flashes brightened the sky. They were so bright that it almost looked like daylight.Chase was shocked to discover a few mini vortexes in the sky. They began to expand, and one of them contained active silver lightning."What's that?!" Chase's heart beat wildly as his eyes widened with shock. A few figures seemed to move within those vortexes.Savage roars were heard coming from them. Chase looked up and saw a group of giant monsters. They were bigger than the Thunder Snake from before and were exuding a bloodthirsty aura. E
Chase's sword hit the black-robed man's shoulder, and a crisp sound was heard. His eyes widened as he watched in disbelief.H-How was that possible?The sword flew off from the impact. The black-robed man grabbed Chase's neck and punched him hard.Chase flew off from the impact and crashed into two huge trees before finally falling.Chase heaved violently. His throat was burning with pain, and his body felt like it was falling apart. He wondered how many of his bones were broken. Even his true energy had been completely exhausted.Chase fell lying on the grassy field. He breathed heavily and coughed violently.He turned to look with difficulty at the black-robed man who was standing at a distance. All he saw was the man wiping away the blood from his hand with disgust."How dare garbage like you dare to try and kill me?" The black-robed man shook his head. An amused smile appeared on his face."Garbage?" Chase almost coughed up blood at the word.How dare he?!Chase was a mar
The thunder and lightning stopped, and only a few more sparks fell.Raging wind began galing, and a black vortex appeared midair. It was slowly descending as it whirled.A figure stepped out from within the black hole. He was in a black, extravagant robe. The man had good-looking yet devilish-like features that exuded an arrogance that seemed to look down on the world."Master!" The zombie soldier stood respectfully by his side as he bowed to him. "Good job," the black-robed man said calmly with an amused smile on his lips. "This shell is better than I thought."Chase narrowed his eyes. The man in front of him was putting him under immense pressure. His aura alone was enough for Chase to feel he was in the middle of a raging sea. It made Chase feel small and insignificant.Chase could not help gripping tight on his sword with great caution. He was prepared for a fight at any moment.There was a great sense of danger about that man. However, it just intensified Chase's excitemen
The longsword in Chase's hand bore an intricate lotus engraving, its aura unmistakably that of a Ghost Weapon.As the blade swung through the air, it generated a fierce gust, slicing cleanly through the descending lightning.Electric arcs clashed against the sword, producing a sharp, ringing impact. However, the blade remained completely unscathed.Chase's eyes flashed with surprise."Huh? Even lightning tribulation can't damage a Ghost Weapon?"He had assumed that, given his current cultivation level and martial skills, he would be utterly defenseless against such divine punishment.However, reality had just proved him wrong."Hahaha… This is unbelievable!" A voice thick with excitement suddenly rang out.Chase's expression darkened instantly. "Who's there?"His gaze sharpened as he scanned his surroundings. He was trying to locate the speaker. As far as he knew, the only other being present was the zombie soldier. No other presence could be detected.Frowning, Chase felt a
Chase fled in a battered state, his body covered in shallow cuts and bruises, though none were life-threatening.His armor had protected him, shielding him from external attacks while gradually restoring his body. The defensive power it provided was formidable.The zombie soldier's fist smashed into Chase's chest, forcing him to cough up blood.His body trembled from the impact, and he staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground."Damn it!" he cursed under his breath.Despite his strength, he was still in a mortal body. He could not take much more of this. If this dragged on, he would not last.Chase scanned his surroundings. Darkness blanketed everything, and an eerie stillness hung in the air like a ghostly abyss. It was as if he had stepped into the underworld itself.The spiritual energy here was abnormally thin, and the chaotic flow of true energy made it unsuitable for cultivation. However, the harsh environment also made it the perfect place to temper himself.He crossed
Chase struggled to his feet, pain searing through his chest. He had not been able to dodge in time and had taken a direct hit from the zombie soldier's kick, so his ribs were likely broken. Gritting his teeth, he tightened his grip on his sword and charged forward, his strikes swift and relentless.A thick wooden pillar split in half as Chase leaped onto a barrel. Just as he steadied himself, a sudden impact sent him flying into the raging river. The rushing current swallowed him whole, his vision consumed by churning waves.The water was freezing, and his body shuddered from the sudden cold.The zombie soldier wasn't done. It followed, its sharp claws striking at the floating barrel.Water erupted as shattered wood shards flew in all directions.Chase moved carefully through the depths, staying submerged to avoid another ambush. He did not dare surface. Just as he thought he had evaded the danger, a powerful suction force suddenly pulled at him. Before he could react, the curre
Chase's heart tightened as he realized the danger.He swiftly drew a dagger and slashed toward the zombie soldier's neck, but before the blade could make contact, the creature tilted its head downward and caught the dagger between its fingers.With a slight flick, the dagger snapped in half.His sword slipped from his grip, tumbling to the ground. Chase immediately leaped forward, stretching out his hand to catch it before it hit the earth."Damn it! This thing is way too strong!"Frustration burned inside him. Despite being a skilled warrior, he was being beaten into a miserable state by a mere zombie soldier. Worse yet, he could not even harm it!The creature had no intelligence, only pure battle instinct, and its resilience was terrifying. Even lethal wounds barely slowed it down before it regenerated."I need to find something to counter it!"Taking a deep breath, Chase turned, preparing to locate reinforcements. However, the moment he moved, the zombie soldier followed.A
