“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
Marvin took out his iron abacus and kept clacking on it. Even though the sound of the beads was not loud, it could be heard widely. The zombies, spirits, and dark beasts seemed to slow down and even let their guards down."Attack!" Marvin yelled.Ivana was the first to attack. Her sword glowed with a red light. Everywhere her sword aura touched, those monsters would be chopped up into pieces with blood splattering everywhere.She had a protective energy field around her, and none of the blood touched her. Ivana was still able to look as pretty as a flower.Baron and Castiel pulled out their sabers and spun in the air like spinning tops. Flesh was sliced, and blood splattered in the air wherever they went. They were like meat grinders.As for Yul and Turk, it was not as easy for them as swordsmen.All they could do was sweep attacks with their sword auras, which exhausted a lot of vital spirit. Everything around them was killed after all the hard work.Chase glanced at them and f
Yul, the monastery master of Passive Monastery, had a monastic name called Daylight. He was known as the Daylight Swordsman in the pugilistic world. He pulled out his sword and a bright light shone. Everywhere it touched, the zombies and monsters turned to dust. It was just like an exorcism.His oldest disciple, Turk, raised his sword in a dashing manner. One could tell that he was an extremely talented swordsman.Turk was a stage-four martial god. Handling the group of zombies was an easy feat for him.Chase pulled out Greedy Wolf, which he had just gotten, and channeled vital energy into it. The blade seemed to come alive as everyone heard a vague howl coming from it.It suddenly glinted and quivered in the air. An invisible sword aura rippled out in a great wave with Chase in the center. It was a powerful force that sliced all the zombies and monsters into half, and they turned into dust.The Mystic Nefarious Formation seemed to have vanished. Even the evil energy around had
"This is the Mystic Nefarious Formation of the Nefarious Deity Sect."Yul spoke up first."Is there anything I should pay attention to with this formation?" Chase asked while releasing his consciousness to inspect it. He was surprised at his discovery.After strengthening his mind and soul multiple times and even achieving enlightenment in the Passive Concentration Technique, his consciousness was now able to sweep across thousands of miles.Now that he was inside the Mystic Nefarious Formation, it felt like his consciousness had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He could not detect any borders at all.The mountain range and forest around him seem to have disappeared from his consciousness."This formation is specifically used by the Nefarious Deity Sect to fight powerful opponents."Marvin smiled bitterly. He took out his weapon at the same time. It was a metal abacus. He used it to channel protection on himself for self-defense.The others followed suit. Everyone was in defense
Baron, being a straightforward warrior, and Yul, a reclusive priest, were not particularly skilled in dealing with outsiders.After exchanging glances, they ultimately left the task of explaining to Marvin, the pavilion master of Drizzle Pavilion, a renowned merchant sect in the nether realm."Mr. Collins, you're not originally from the nether realm, are you?"Chase nodded. "No, I come from Earth's primary world.""That makes sense. We're also from Earth," Marvin continued. "However, due to the nature of our cultivation techniques, we require the evil energy unique to this realm. That's why we established our sects here."But the 12 Divine Palaces in this world are all tyrannical overlords, and the Nefarious Deity Sect, which controls this region, has been constantly harassing us. It has been a never-ending source of trouble."Meanwhile, the evil energy on Earth has been depleting, limiting our ability to progress in cultivation. With no other choice, our three sects joined force
Looking at Greedy Wolf's spirit that looked so adorable, Chase could not help but feel a bit of sympathy for it.He allowed his spiritual form to manifest in front of the tree hollow and gently stroked the little white wolf's fur.The spirit was startled.It had never sensed Chase's presence, yet now, Chase had appeared directly before it, touching its fur without warning.If Chase had harbored any ill intent, would that not mean it could have killed it at any moment?The wolf's fur bristled instantly, and it bared its tiny fangs, letting out what was meant to be a fierce howl just like a real wild wolf.Yet to Chase, it only looked like a little pup pretending to be intimidating.Amused, he scooped it up into his arms. The young wolf froze on the spot.By all logic, anyone caught within its innate aura of killing intent should have seen it as a vicious, bloodthirsty predator. Yet Chase was holding it like a pet—as if it were nothing more than an ordinary puppy.Its eyes were
After cultivating the Tranquil Mind Technique, Chase not only gained the ability to conceal his consciousness, but his perception had also grown incredibly sharp. He could clearly sense the emotions of everyone present—shock, unwillingness, frustration, and even anger.Even so, it did not matter. His strength far surpassed theirs, and none of them posed a threat to him.Once he received Greedy Wolf, however, their emotions shifted toward astonishment.This went for everyone except Castiel, who clearly looked dissatisfied. It seemed he had long coveted this blade.Could this sword be even more formidable than it appeared? Gripping the handle in his right hand, Chase immediately felt its defiance.The blade resisted him, as if trying to break free, radiating an overwhelming killing intent.Through his consciousness, he faintly perceived a lone wolf lurking in the darkness, its eyes gleaming coldly as it watched him with a ruthless, predatory gaze.A weaker warrior who was unable
Though the sect's founder had passed down three Skyfeather Robes, this particular one had the strongest defensive power. It was rumored to contain a hidden body-refining technique, though no one had been able to uncover it.Meanwhile, Ivana gazed at Chase, her joy growing even more evident.She knew that the Skyfeather Robe was crafted from the skin of a whale and the feathers of a phoenix, making it one of Passive Monastery's most treasured heirlooms.Once worn, it could withstand any attack below stage three martial god, repel water and fire, and resist all forms of poison and corrosion.More importantly, Chase now looked exactly like a refined scholar, which was exactly to her taste. Her heart raced, filled with an uncontrollable longing.Standing nearby, Castiel and Turk, who had been too overwhelmed by Chase's sheer presence to pay attention to anything else, finally turned to look at Ivana.At that moment, they realized they had lost something far more important than just a
Ivana could hardly believe what she was seeing. She instinctively reached out, trying to touch Chase to confirm if he was real.Marvin finally snapped out of his shock and quickly pulled his daughter back. "Mr. Collins... What's this?"His voice trembled as he spoke, and his mind was racing. He even wondered if the Chase standing before them was just an illusion.However, the pressure and presence Chase exuded earlier had been undeniable, so why was it that their spiritual senses could no longer detect him?Chase glanced at their stunned expressions and immediately understood. Smiling, he said, "Here, take this back. The Tranquil Mind Technique is indeed an excellent method."He handed the silk scroll back to Marvin.What did that mean? Was he implying the technique was not good enough?This was a lower world-grade technique, something Marvin had spent a long time persuading the previous pavilion master to hand over, only to be refused repeatedly!Baron frowned. For a body-refi
Marvin hesitated for a moment before responding somewhat awkwardly, "It seems this estate was already plundered before we arrived. We found nothing."A hidden estate had appeared yet yielded no treasures, which was indeed an unusual occurrence. He was worried that Chase might use this as an excuse to make things difficult for them.Though their group of six might have a chance if they used every trick they had, the sheer destruction in the valley and the ground having been polished smooth like the bottom of a bowl left them uneasy. If a fight broke out, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.Marvin gritted his teeth, then retrieved a silk scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Chase. "However, Mr. Collins, you saved several of our young members. As a token of gratitude, we would like to offer you a gift—the Passive Monastery's 'Tranquil Mind Technique.' This mental cultivation method strengthens the soul and can be trained up to the peak of the martial god realm."Chas
