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

    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

    Several figures flew over. When they saw the smooth, bowl-like surface of the valley, they could not hide their shock. What kind of person would have this level of power? To reshape the entire valley like this…Among them, the purple-clad young woman, Ivana, immediately recognized Chase from their previous encounter."Sir!" She swiftly flew forward and greeted him with a respectful bow.Beside her, an elder in a black robe with a long beard—clearly her superior—was taken aback.Seeing Ivana rushing toward an unknown figure, whose aura was overwhelming and possibly hostile, he felt a surge of unease and quickly followed after her."Ivana, don't be reckless!" His tone carried a hint of reproach as he shot her a warning glance.Ivana pouted in frustration but obediently stepped back behind him, though she still could not resist making a playful face.Chase found her antics amusing and asked casually, "Who are you people? What do you want?"The long-bearded man cupped his fists a

    The man with small eyes observed Chase's stance. He did not seem to be gathering any elemental energy, which made the man suspicious.A martial artist at the martial nirvana stage, with only a stage six martial god cultivation, was trying to block the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers' combined attack using just his body?Even Knox Nefary, the strongest physical cultivator of the Nefarious Deity Sect, could not do that.This brat was too arrogant!The other two had the same thought as they smirked in disdain.By now, the water-fire-poison dragon drill had reached Chase, carrying the power of heaven and earth. The impact rippled outward like waves, turning everything in its path—trees, boulders—into dust. Any wild beasts that had not escaped in time were instantly reduced to a bloody mist.Even the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers, still seated in mid-air, felt the shockwave. They hurriedly channeled their energy to block it.The man with small eyes frowned inside his prot

    At that moment, the sky darkened, storm clouds gathered, and lightning crackled through the air. It seemed as if a torrential downpour could begin at any second.If someone were standing on the battlefield, they would have experienced a constant shift in temperature—one moment freezing cold, the next blazing hot, then pierced by eerie, bone-chilling winds, only to suddenly feel numb from electric shocks.The four warriors, each wielding a different elemental force, had created a chaotic clash of energies. Their power leaked into the surroundings, sending wild beasts and demonic creatures fleeing in terror.Chase's long hair, which had grown out over the past few months, fluttered wildly in the wind. His sharp gaze hardened. He could not allow the three of them to continue amassing power.He silently chanted an incantation. Three clones materialized behind him.The four versions of Chase exchanged a glance. Then, the three clones dashed forward, each targeting one of the Nefarious

    By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious

    The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t

    Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "

    A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.

    "Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
