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
Chase had just walked out of the room when Bianca frowned and said, “Are we being too generous, Grandpa? Even though Dr. Collins cured you, one million would be enough for even the best doctor in the country, yet you gave him 50 million.”“What insolence!”William’s eyes narrowed. “Do you mean to say that my life is only worth a million?”“That’s not what I meant, Grandpa…” Bianca tried to explain.William shook his head and asked, “Do you know what I saw on him?”Before Bianca could ask further, he took a deep breath and said slowly, “I saw the Dragon Soul Ring on him!”“What? The Dragon Soul Ring?” Bianca exclaimed with a shocked look on her face.She was the eldest daughter of the Coopers and was aware of information not privy to ordinary people.The Dragon Soul Ring, for example, was a symbol of the owner of the four top financial conglomerates. Anyone possessing it could control those conglomerates and was in control of trillions in fortune.Bactria’s richest man or even
Henry shook his head and said, “I understand your good intentions, Chase, but this is something you can’t control. We’re trying to figure out how to settle this problem.”Chase wanted to tell him that he knew Sam Collins and all it required was a phone call from him to teach Daniel a lesson.However, Riley suddenly looked at Edward and begged, “Edward, didn’t you say that your father knows the kingpin of South River City? Can he help us talk to the kingpin?”“What? Edward, your father knows the kingpin?” Henry looked at Edward in surprise.Edward replied softly under everyone’s gaze, “Yes, Uncle Henry. My father is acquainted with the kingpin.”“That’s wonderful to hear. Edward, can you talk to your father on our behalf?” Laura asked.Edward immediately called his father, Frank Wright, in front of everyone and explained the situation to him.He hung up soon afterward and said to everyone, “I’ve told my father everything, Uncle Henry. He says he can help us out with this.”Befor
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
A golden rune floated in Chase's palm, shimmering with radiant energy.The rune collided with the rusted blade, scattering dazzling sparks into the air."What?!" the elder exclaimed, his pupils constricting."Do you think a piece of worthless scrap metal can harm me? How laughable." Chase shook his head. He flicked his fingers, and the golden rune expanded to the size of a hand. In an instant, it transformed into a blazing flame that radiated intense heat. It spread in all directions."What kind of technique is this?"The elder's face twisted in fear. He leaped back, trying to escape, but the golden flames spread rapidly as they devoured everything in their path. Grass and leaves turned to ash in moments, and even the soil melted under its heat.When a single ember touched the elder's body, smoke began to rise from his flesh, causing him immense pain. The flames were not just hot—they burned through flesh and blood with ease."No! This fire is too dangerous. I can't let it touch
The elder was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he had witnessed.The Nine Dragons Shield was a forbidden technique that consumed immense amounts of vital energy to activate. Even martial arts saints who used it would suffer grave consequences, potentially causing their cultivation level to permanently regress."Who are you?" he demanded."Who I am doesn't matter," Chase replied, his tone calm yet piercing. "What matters is that I can kill you."Another bolt of lightning crashed down from the heavens.Chase stood still, unmoving, letting the lightning strike his body.Blood spattered as his clothes were shredded. His shoulders and back bore scorch marks from the impact. He smirked and said, "Not bad. This level of lightning barely affects me."As soon as he spoke, Chase launched a punch. The force of his strike condensed into a tangible blast. It was like a meteor crashing down, slamming into the elder's chest.A dull thud echoed as the elder's body convulsed violently
Chase ignored the elder and remained focused on his cultivation.After a moment, the elder shook his head and sighed. It was as though he found the situation regrettable.With a single step, he appeared directly in front of Chase. A long spear materialized in the elder's hand, its sharp tip aimed squarely at Chase's throat."Hand over your belongings, and I'll spare your life," the elder said, his voice cold and laced with murderous intent."And why would I?" Chase opened his eyes abruptly, their depth like an endless starry sky. "This situation is in my favor, and you think you can resort to robbery?"While speaking, Chase studied the elder closely. He quickly noticed that despite the man's high cultivation level, his injuries were severe. His chaotic energy flow suggested an overreliance on medicinal pills."You dare defy me, boy? Do you believe I won't kill you right here and now?!" the elder roared."Go ahead and try," Chase replied with a cold laugh.The elder's eyes gleam
With a crack, a bone snapped.The old woman screamed in agony. She released Chase as she crumpled to the ground, clutching her right leg."You bastard..." she hissed the words through gritted teeth, her disheveled black hair cascading wildly over her face. Her gaze burned with venom as her sunken eyes fixed on Chase like smoldering coal ready to ignite.Her flushed face glistened with beads of sweat as she fumbled in her robe, pulling out a small bottle of potion.She tilted her head back and swallowed its contents. Almost immediately, her contorted features relaxed, and the hollows of her stomach filled out as if by magic.She then spat out a mouthful of dark blood before casting Chase a venomous glare and retreating without another word. In moments, her figure had vanished into the shadows."She's physically formidable, but her soul lacks strength. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught off guard so easily," Chase murmured to himself. He decided not to pursue her. He was awar
The old woman cackled ominously. "You're mistaken. This Element-Gathering Formation isn't meant to trap—it's meant to kill!"As her words fell, Chase suddenly felt a surge of killing intent rising from behind him. Whipping around instantly, his pupils contracted sharply as the old woman's withered hand closed in mere inches from his shoulder.At the critical moment, Chase shifted half a step sideways.The skeletal hand swiped through empty air, and the old woman's face twisted in surprise. "Such quick reflexes!" she hissed before launching another strike.A streak of blue lightning crackled from her palm that was coiled with violent energy. It shot toward Chase's neck like a serpent.Chase flicked his fingers, sending a fiery red spark hurtling forward. It collided with the lightning mid-air, exploding into a cascade of fiery embers. Chase moved like a butterfly through a field of flowers, deftly evading the relentless onslaught."Not bad for a remnant of the Collins family," the
Chase withdrew the spiritual flame and turned to leave, quickly disappearing into the darkness."Is that… spiritual fire?" Ellen whispered to herself. When she returned to the scene and saw the charred remains, she gasped in horror. Her delicate face was filled with both shock and dread. Without lingering, she hurried back to her room and pulled out a talisman. She placed it against her chest to conceal her aura and hide her presence.Meanwhile, Chase walked along the street, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings for any clues. Suddenly, he paused and turned toward a seemingly ordinary house. The building appeared unremarkable, with no distinguishing features. However, Chase's keen senses detected a dangerous presence emanating from within.He smirked slightly and leaped to the front gate of the yard.The gate opened, and Chase stepped inside. A damp, musty stench assaulted his senses, making the air almost unbearable. He frowned slightly. It was clear that this place had no
