Chapter 16

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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.

    “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

    "I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha

    After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just

    "Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h

    This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi

    Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we

    Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle

    "Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump

    "Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was

    Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
