That was too bad!Chase sighed when he saw what had happened.Greedy Wolf's blade intent was newly formed and not perfect enough. It could only suppress the minds and souls of ordinary people. Anyone with slight cultivation could fight against it.However, Chase had at least achieved a small part of his plan. This time, he channeled his vital energy and swung down his blade. A giant image of Greedy Wolf roared behind him.An image of a colossal wolf walking in the snow under the moonlight appeared in everyone's consciousness. It lunged at the defensive formation shielding the Worthingtons' ancestral home. The officer and everyone else inside the ancestral home heard a loud crack. It was shrill to their ears.That was impossible!The officer could no longer hear anything from the outside world. There was only fear and anger in his eyes.How did Chase break the defensive formation when its energy source had not been exhausted?He could only roar about this silently. There was n
"A god's corpse?"Chase did not think this was possible. After all, this world's limit was a martial monarch. A god?Even though Chase would become a martial god again after leaving this world, his abilities were still far from a real god. There had to be something unique about that corpse for others to think that it was a god.This was Chase's initial thought.Walter and Willow did not believe it either."Could it be the corpse of an ancient giant beast?" Walter guessed.As a Two-Headed Giant Python, many ignorant humans he met mistook him for a Snake God or even a dragon. Weaker humans who met cultivators would also mistake them for gods."Talking about this doesn't help. Why not just lead us there?" Chase said to Cyril."Alright."Cyril led the group into the ancestral home. The place was surrounded by guards who looked like they were in a daze. All of them were equipped with sophisticated tools. Most of them had guns and grenades on them.A portion of these men possessed
The pieces did not fall but floated in the air.No one expected this.This included the officer who was guarding the corpse. His eyes widened at this incredible sight.Chase could sense spiritual energy gathering at the corpse."Could it come back to life?"He guessed what would happen.The giant's imagery suddenly opened his eyes as if answering Chase's question and got up.That was when the floating crystal pieces fell to the ground. They glittered like fragments of diamonds.The giant stood up, looking like a colossal spirit.Fortunately, the round hall, which had a radius of about 165 feet and was about a hundred feet high, was just enough to fit him."You… are… dead."The giant spoke one word at a time very slowly, but everyone heard him.It was a relief to the officer to see the giant pointing his fingers at Chase. The giant belonged to the Worthingtons and recognized who was the enemy.Chase and the others were surprised too. The only thing real on this giant was it
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

The swing of his blade created a ripple in the air, and everyone watching was astonished.The officer realized that there was no vital energy used in that swing after sensing it via the formation. That was pure physical strength. However, the defense formation was sustained using stored vital energy.Below the base of the ancestral home was a giant space storing Dark and Light Emeralds and spiritual stones. They were mainly used to replenish the formation.According to reports from below, they had exhausted a hundredth of the reserves just to defend against one swing of the blade.That would mean Chase could exhaust the first level of the defense formation's reserve energy if he swung his blade at the formation a hundred times.The office was shocked at the data. However, upon further thought, he figured Chase would not last if he were to attempt swinging his blade down a hundred times. After all, he had clearly put in full energy for that one swing of the blade. There was nothing
What was the point of having such a strong defensive formation? They were like ragdolls to someone as powerful as Chase.Willow was proud of this. She was now a resident fan and Chase's groupie. She had started making plans to turn Chase into her slave and bodyguard.The others moved quickly to get inside during the short moment when the defensive formation was broken. Bright lights suddenly burst out from inside the Worthingtons' ancestral home.They watched as flashes of brilliant lights displayed formations in the air like electric currents. After the lights connected, the defensive formation was strengthened once more. The cracks on its formation lines were repaired, and the shield became thicker than before.Chase attacked with a rain of swords. The usual clanging from the attack turned into muffled sounds.It looked like the Worthingtons had placed a lot of effort into their defense. Their defense formation was unexpectedly strong.Chase saw how the rain of sword attacks di
When Willow and Cyril saw Walter attack, they both thought he had acted too recklessly. As expected, alarms blared throughout the Worthingtons' ancestral home.Warning lights flashed wildly as the guards swarmed out of the compound like ants from a nest.Chase stared in disbelief.In the programming world, there was a popular principle known as the Duck Test. If it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, looked like a duck, and pecked like a duck, then it was probably a duck.This so-called ancestral home, aside from its exterior resembling a military base, had military-grade alert systems and personnel. By the duck principle, without a doubt, this was a military base."Is this ancestral house hiding some kind of secret? Why is the defense so tight?" Chase asked Cyril.Cyril was equally stunned by the scene. "My mentors just told me the Worthingtons' ancestral home is very important. I don't actually know what's inside… But now, it seems I underestimated how much it means to the
In Walter's understanding, even among ape-type beasts, it was nearly impossible to move so effortlessly between high-rise buildings using only physical strength—let alone doing so with such speed, like Chase just did.Willow, being a practitioner focused on soul-based and spiritual techniques, had also trained her body somewhat recently. However, she was nowhere near Walter's level and definitely far below Chase's.When she sensed that Chase had surpassed her even while she was fully employing both her movement techniques and vital energy without using any vital energy at all, she went numb inside."Chase is just a genius. I can't compare…" she said to comfort herself.In the end, even with her top-tier body movement techniques, she arrived at Cyril's location more than ten minutes later than Chase. Seeing everyone already waiting on her, she felt slightly embarrassed."Sorry, I was too slow.""It's fine. We were just taking a break anyway. What's ten minutes?" Chase waved it off
Chase and his group arrived at the rooftop of a tall building next to the Worthingtons' headquarters."That whole building over there belongs to the Worthingtons," Cyril said, pointing to the rooftop across from them where the giant words for 'Worthington Group' were displayed.For Willow and Walter, this was their first time seeing the high-rise buildings of modern society. Everything felt fresh and fascinating. They were curiously scanning the surroundings.Chase glanced at the crowds below and frowned. "This isn't a good place to fight them. There are too many civilians around. One misstep and it'll be a disaster.""Is that a problem?" asked Walter, the Water and Fire Two-Headed Giant Python. Although currently in human form, he still carried a beast's mindset and did not see anything wrong with the idea.Cyril, hearing Chase's concern, immediately understood he did not want to harm innocents. However, Walter, as Chase's contract beast, seemed surprisingly indifferent to human
In the Worthingtons' headquarters, Ricky looked at Dominic, who was still stunned from the earlier battle, and shook his head.Dominic clutched his throbbing head and asked, "Is there really no way to get all this weird junk out of my mind?""To clear it out, I'd have to work with Carla and treat you for nearly a full year. And that's only if we return to the nether realm. Here? It's practically impossible," Ricky snorted."You're a peak martial nirvana cultivator, and you've already mastered the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist, a top-tier yellow-ranked technique. You even have the Two Evils of Hell by your side, so why did you insist on fighting that kid one-on-one? Wasn't his destiny aura bright enough for you to realize who you were dealing with?"After explaining the difficulty of healing him, Ricky could not help but scold Dominic in a tone full of frustration. From his perspective, their side had been at a disadvantage ever since entering this so-called Dark and Light Mineral Ore.
