In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”
Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protec
“If that’s what you think, you can go ahead and buy what you need on your own.” Riley left after saying this coldly to Chase.Chase shrugged and walked away to hail a taxi by the road. “Take me to Emgrand Group.”Riley entered a Starbucks and sat down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She took out her phone and sent a message to her chat group: [This sucks! This really sucks!]There were only five people in the chat group, and they were all colleagues who got along with Riley.It was not long before a woman named Anna Clayton replied to her message: [What’s wrong, Riley? Who upset you this time?][My dad found some random country bumpkin and made him my fiancé.] Riley finally found someone she could vent to.[What?][Woah! Are you for real?]The group chat immediately became active.[Why would I lie to you?]Riley typed angrily: [The worst thing about this is that my dad is making me get him a job at our company. My dad claims that it would be easier for hi
“Sir, the Quaids had their eyes on the land of Green Hills Orphanage 12 years ago. They tried everything they could to convince the orphanage director, Gideon Hills, to give up the orphanage, but he wouldn’t budge. "In the end, they burned down Green Hills and grabbed the opportunity to take the land…“The Quaids later became one of the five elite families of South River City because of that land!“I’ve received information that the Quaids will be attending an auction three days later to bid on an emerald. Rumor has it that the emerald is a remnant from Green Hills Orphanage that is supposed to be magical.”Chase looked like he was ready to murder them. Sam felt as though an invisible pair of hands was strangling him, and it sent chills down his spine.“The Quaids have to pay for this!” Chase smiled, but there was a chilling look in his eyes.They had murdered 108 people in that fire for a piece of land.He immediately instructed, “Make preparations. I'll attend that auction in
Quinn’s pretty face lit up. “Mr. Collins, I’d like to find out if the miracle doctor is as good as you say. Is he able to treat ALS?”She had asked this question because her grandfather, Charles, was suffering from ALS. It was known as one of the top five terminal illnesses in the world. ALS patients normally would only have three to five years to live.The symptoms included muscle atrophy, stiffness of limbs, and paralysis. It even affected the respiratory muscles, which would cause the patient to die of respiratory failure.Charles' condition was at the late stage, and he could die at any moment.“ALS?”Sam was taken aback. He replied seriously, “If it was some other doctor, there might not be hope, but it shouldn’t be a problem if it's the miracle doctor who treated me five years ago.”Quinn felt as though something had gone off in her mind, and her breathing got a little more ragged.If it were someone else, she would not have believed it. She might even think she was being
“Huh?”Quinn and Elaine were taken aback at first, but they later laughed out loud in unison.“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I, Collins? You’re saying that you live here?”Elaine laughed in great exaggeration. “Do you know how much a villa is worth here? It can easily go up to 30 or 40 million. A bumpkin like you can work hard your entire life and you won’t even be able to afford a bathroom here.”“Oh, I can’t take it anymore. You’re making me laugh too hard.”Her hands were clasping on her tummy, and she could not stop laughing.Quinn had an angry smile on her face. “Tell me, which is your house?”“It’s at the peak. I think it’s called Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1 or something,” Chase replied casually.Quinn laughed sardonically.If he had mentioned another random villa, she might have believed him.However, Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No.1 was the address of the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. Why would this country bumpkin be staying there?She looked at Chase sympathetica
Everyone looked toward the voice’s direction and saw Chase standing at the door.“Who are you, young man?” Dr. Strickland’s face fell as he asked unhappily.“You don’t need to know who I am."Chase took a step forward and sniggered. “The old man in bed has two years more to live, but you’re claiming his time is up. That’s disregard for human life.”A stranger’s death had nothing to do with Chase, but this person had belittled the old man, and Chase had to do something about it.It was because Chase’s master had gone by the moniker of ‘The Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ when he was traveling the world, and Chase had inherited this title. He had the responsibility of defending the honor of this title.Dr. Strickland was enraged to hear Chase claim that he was disregarding human life. “What did you just say, you rascal?”Everyone turned to look at Chase coldly.The doctor’s name was Elijah Strickland, and he came from a family that had been in the medical industry for hundreds of y
"Damn it!" the black-robed man cursed. He turned around and headed toward the deep forest."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase immediately went after him, and they entered the deep forest one after the other.That was when a lethal sword flash swung by, the sharp blade tearing through the air.The look on Chase's face changed. He quickly moved to dodge the attack while turning back to retaliate with a punch.True energy reverberated wildly in the air, and the sword flash crumbled inch by inch. A towering figure appeared suddenly while swinging a giant axe.Chase put his arm up to block the attack. His arm shuddered from the impact, and his hand was torn, blood gushing from it.This was an enemy.The black-robed man beat back Chase and smiled coldly. "You've managed to cultivate your physique to such a powerful extent as a Body Refining Cultivator. No wonder you're brave enough to fight me."His left leg kicked out like a whip while he spoke. It shot out with terrifying p
The look on Chase's face froze. He decided not to stay and quickened his footsteps toward the thick forest.Just as he stepped out, a powerful presence came toward him like a suffocating wave of energy."Oh no!"The look on Chase's face changed. He quickly stopped and looked up. An old man was standing several yards away. His arms were crossed, and he was looking down at Chase coldly. There was a cruel and taunting look in his eye. He looked like an eagle playing with his prey."Is there no way to escape?" Chase laughed bitterly. He seemed to be aware that the old man would not let him go so easily."All you're doing is heading toward death. You might as well come quietly with me back to my sect."The old man leaped suddenly after declaring this and appeared in front of Chase with amazing speed. His iron claws reached out to grab Chase by the neck.This terrifying force came upon Chase, making it difficult for him to breathe. He was unable to channel the true energy within him.
The ape made furious noises. It enhanced its speed to the extreme with everything it had and finally managed to block Chase's way.That was when the ape's left arm was torn off. It was a bloody sight that was horrifying.It was the price it paid to catch Chase."Get lost!"Chase growled. He punched the ape's head and sped out of the vicinity to escape.The ape was dead. The strange venomous mist thinned before finally dissipating.…Chase was a mess, all covered in wounds.His speed slowed, and he was breathless. He was truly exhausted."I can't rest. I have to find a quiet place to recuperate."He clenched his teeth as he spoke. He chanted a quick incantation to absorb the vitality moving between heaven and earth to replenish the true energy and essence.The thickness of the energy and essence on this mountain range was unique. Even an ordinary martial artist could absorb the vitality here to cultivate.Chase remembered reading about it in an ancient book. Such energy was
The black ape let out a furious roar, locking its bloodthirsty gaze onto Chase as it relentlessly pursued him."Damn it!" Chase cursed under his breath.Although the black ape lacked intelligence, its primal instincts told it that if it could kill and devour Chase's blood, its own strength would grow even greater!With a mighty swipe of its claws, the black ape sent a thick tree branch flying through the air. The sheer force of the strike ignited sparks as the branch tore through the atmosphere.Chase's eyes locked onto the incoming branch. With a swift push of his toes against the tree bark, he flipped in mid-air and narrowly dodged the attack.The branch whizzed past, stirring up a violent gust of wind that made Chase's clothes billow wildly.The black ape's palm strike came crashing down just as Chase landed, shaking the earth beneath him. The impact sent him staggering backward.A sharp pain rose in his chest, and he nearly coughed up blood.Lifting his gaze, he saw that th
This was no ordinary weapon. It had been forged from century-old obsidian iron, a treasure of exceptional sharpness. Yet this monstrous beast had devoured it whole in a single bite.The sheer strength of its jaws was terrifying.At that moment, the ghost-winged griffin opened its mouth once more, releasing a thick cloud of toxic mist. The corrosive vapors distorted the air, spreading rapidly toward Chase. A putrid, venomous stench filled the surroundings, making it impossible to breathe."You're courting death!"Chase roared, activating the Domination Technique. A radiant golden aura erupted around his body, forming a shimmering protective barrier. With a single punch, he shattered the toxic mist.He gripped his battle spear without hesitation, his body surging forward like a diving dragon. He drove his weapon through the ghost-winged griffin's skull, pinning it to the ground.The griffin's blood-red eyes widened in its final moment of agony. It let out one last shrill cry before
The demonic lizard, a martial nirvana-level beast, stood before Chase. Its eyes were gleaming with hostility.Chase's gaze turned sharp as he gripped his battle spear, stepping forward without hesitation.The demonic lizard struck first, its claws slicing through the air with terrifying speed, leaving behind streaking afterimages.Chase dodged swiftly, sidestepping its attack before thrusting his spear forward to pierce straight through the beast's throat.The demonic lizard was no weak opponent. It had reached its peak power and was a formidable adversary that would have been a death sentence for an average martial god-level warrior.Blood gushed from its neck, but the demonic lizard was not finished. Its eyes burned with fury, locking onto Chase as it charged madly toward him.Chase lightly tapped his foot against the ground, vanishing in an instant. At the same time, his fist struck out, landing a devastating blow directly to the monster's chest. The impact exploded through it
"Retreat!"A cry of alarm rang out as their expressions shifted dramatically. Without hesitation, they turned and fled as if they had encountered something truly terrifying.The black fiend wolf was a martial nirvana-level demonic monster, known for its mastery of stealth and ambush tactics. Once targeted by this beast, death was almost inevitable.Though these two martial gods were powerful, they could not hold their ground. One of them was quickly overcome by the poison mist, his face twisting in agony as smoke escaped from his mouth and nose. The venom had spread too deep, and his survival was unlikely.Meanwhile, the black fog continued to spread, growing denser, engulfing everything in sight.Standing firm, Chase narrowed his eyes in suspicion.The black fiend wolf was indeed a martial nirvana-level demonic monster, but did it really think that a mere poison mist could kill him?What a joke!"It seems this forbidden land holds far more dangers than just beasts. There's mia
The group of martial gods turned pale with fear, abandoning any thoughts of chasing Chase as they scrambled to flee.However, before they could take a single step, streaks of radiant energy tore through the air.Elite martial gods had arrived! Each of them carried countless talismans, their bodies pulsing with mystical energy.One talisman ignited, erupting into roaring flames and transforming into a fire serpent that lunged at Chase.These talismans were not ordinary—each had been purchased at an exorbitant price, crafted by skilled rune masters to ensure formidable power.Yet Chase remained unfazed.He extended his hand, grabbed the fire serpent, and bit down without hesitation to crush it between his teeth.To others, these runes might have been lethal, but Chase cultivated the Chaos Immortal Physique, rendering him impervious to such flames. Instead of harming him, the energy was absorbed and refined within his body.The remaining martial gods unleashed their attacks. Brill
Blood sprayed through the air. The martial god did not even have time to react before his skull was shattered and his lifeless body crashed to the ground."Damn! What do we do? That beast is too powerful—we can't kill it!" The remaining martial gods trembled in fear, their legs nearly giving out beneath them.The demonic tiger was brutal and bloodthirsty, showing no mercy. Its body was covered in impenetrable scales, rendering ordinary swords, spears, and halberds useless. Only overwhelming force could put it down."Run! We have to report this to the elders and let them handle the beast!"Without hesitation, they turned and fled with swift movements.However, just as they were about to escape, Chase appeared and stood right in their path."Who's there?!"The martial gods immediately grew wary, turning to face him.They saw an ordinary-looking young man, dressed in simple green robes, with nothing particularly eye-catching about him."Get lost!"One of them barked impatiently.
