Chapter 218

ผู้เขียน: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Once Chase released the tattooed man, Quinn looked at him and said, “Sir, is there some sort of misunderstanding here?”

“There’s nothing to misunderstand. My wife’s face became swollen after using your company’s cosmetics. She’s now in the emergency room, and the doctors say that her life might be at risk.”

The tattooed man shouted and cried as he banged on the floor. “Give my wife her face back.”

“I think you must be mistaken, sir. Our company’s product has gone through strict safety testing. Nothing of the sort would happen…” Quinn explained patiently.

“This man is telling the truth. I can prove it.”

A middle-aged woman stepped forward to say, “My daughter used your company’s cosmetics as well, and her body began to rot. Pus is coming out of her wounds. She’s been crying about committing suicide every day…

“If anything happens to my daughter, I… I’ll die in front of your company.”

The woman sat on the floor and cried pitifully.

“I can also prove it…”

Two other women stepped

    Chase's words sank in.Everyone was stunned.The tattooed man felt like he had just been humiliated. He said red-faced, “Nonsense! Why would you say I don’t have a wife? I just told you that she's in the emergency room.”“Do you know him, Chase?” Quinn could not help asking.Even Mandy was looking at him curiously.She did not have much of an impression of this man. Her deepest impression of him was when she had arrested him at the bus station and he was later bailed out by Quinn.Chase shook his head as everyone looked at him. “I don’t know him. To be precise, it’s the first time I’ve met him.”“What?!”Everyone exclaimed immediately as they thought they had heard wrong.Why would Chase say that man did not have a wife when Chase had not met the man before?“Stop complicating the situation, Collins,” Elaine, who had never liked Chase, said brusquely.Did this jerk know where he was? All Chase did was embarrass Quinn.Quinn was exasperated. She was about to berate Chase w

    “What stupid question is that? Of course, she is.”“You’re lying too.”Chase sneered and said, “You’re barren. You can’t have a biological daughter.”“Nonsense! You’re that one who's barren. I curse your entire family to be barren!” the middle-aged woman said shrilly. She acted like she was afraid of being exposed in public.Mandy’s smile faltered as she looked at Chase. “You can tell this by looking at her face?”“Yes,” Chase replied with a nod.“Take a look at mine, then. I’ll tell you if it’s accurate,” Mandy sneered and said.“What would you like to know?” Chase asked.Mandy said, “Tell me what my parents’ occupations are.”Chase stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly shook his head to say, “You lost your parents when you were young. There’s no occupation to speak of.”His words sank in.Everyone stared at Mandy. They wanted to find out if what Chase said was true.Quinn’s pretty face turned pale. She looked at Chase in disappointment.Mandy blew her top in front

    "David, you know this guy?" Mandy asked out of curiosity.Stifling a laugh, David replied, "You bet I do, Officer Coleman. He's the son of my distant relative. He was born impotent, and that's why he's still a bachelor now in his 30s."Due to his circumstances, he gave up on himself and simply became gay. Word has it that he's a bottom. Not only that, he even did drugs under the influence of a few bad friends and was ultimately diagnosed with AIDS."He was sent to a drug rehabilitation center half a year ago. I didn't expect him to get out of rehab so soon."Hearing these words, Mandy was stunned, along with Quinn and everyone else.This was because what David said just now was exactly the same as what Chase had said earlier."Chase was able to know all that just by looking at his face? How is that possible?" Mandy could not help but ask incredulously.Equally stunned at David's words, Quinn could not help but scan the crowd. She was trying to see if Chase was still around somew

    Hearing Mandy's words, Susan finally realized the severity of her crimes. Bursting into tears, she wailed, "I confess! I confess to my crimes. We were all just following orders from Mr. Huey. I promise not to do it again."Seeing her reaction, the other guy who was also pointed out by Monkey earlier confessed to his crime as well and offered his full cooperation.Mandy walked up to Susan and asked, "Let me ask you something. Do you really have a daughter?"Hearing her question, Susan crumpled to the ground and cried, "No, I don't. That man was right about me earlier. I-I became infertile when I was 16 years old due to multiple abortions. I've been unable to have children since then..."Although she had mentally prepared herself, Mandy was still shocked.Chase got it right again! Did he really master the art of face reading?!Her mood sank suddenly when she recalled him mentioning that her parents were both dead."Take all of them to the station and ask Huey Harrigan to meet me n

    "What happened to Mr. Cooper?" Chase asked, his brows furrowing as he frowned."He was attacked by someone..." Bianca replied with a quivering voice.Hearing her words, Chase's expression darkened as he asked, "Where is he now?""He's at home.""Okay, I'll be right over."Chase hung up the call and immediately rushed to the Coopers' family house.Upon reaching William's room on the third floor, Chase noticed the room was already swarmed with people. William was lying on the bed. His face was ghostly pale, and his life was hanging by a thread.A solemn atmosphere shrouded the room.Seeing Chase's arrival, Bianca got up from her seat beside the bed and greeted him, "Thanks for coming, Mr. Collins.""Good day, Mr. Collins."The other family members also started greeting him politely.Since the incident with the Harrigans, the Coopers knew that Chase was not to be taken lightly. Their attitude toward him took a 180-degree turn ever since."Give us the room, everyone. I'll see w

    "It's not your fault, Mr. Collins. Our family and the Harrigans have been tearing at each other's throats for a long time. Even if not for you, our families were bound to have a showdown someday," William said earnestly."However, it's best for you to keep your guard up these few days, Mr. Collins. The martial artist hired by the Harrigans is extremely skilled. My bodyguard had been practicing martial arts for decades, yet he didn't stand a chance against him."Worried about Chase, William gently reminded him. There was a hint of fear visible in his eyes."Thanks for your concern, Mr. Cooper. I know who I'm dealing with. Do take care. I'll come again tomorrow." Chase nodded and left.After Chase had left, William asked Bianca, "Bianca, how did you deal with Lawrence's body?""Mr. Lawrence's body has been transported to the funeral parlor, Grandpa. Uncle Yosef is taking care of this matter," Bianca replied."I feel so bad for him," William said. Sighing heavily, he continued, "Not

    Double? That would be four million dollars!Giddy with greed, the shop owner nodded immediately and said, "Done! The herb's all yours, sir.""Hold up."Chase suddenly said, "I'll pay triple!"Triple?The shop owner trembled at the thought.Huey did not expect Chase to raise the price even higher. Furious, he said, "I'll pay five times more!"He then gave Chase a side-eye and continued, "What's the matter? Can't keep up? Coward.""Six times!" Chase said calmly.Hearing Chase's words, rage overtook Huey as he hollered, "Ten times! I'll pay ten times more!"Just as he thought Chase would keep up with the bid, to his surprise, Chase grinned and said, "Alright then. It's all yours."Huey was speechless.If looks could kill, Chase would be dead by now."What do you say, sir?" The shop owner was about to faint from joy as he looked intensely at Huey.Ten times the price was a whopping 20 million dollars!Never in his life had he sold an item that was ten times its original pric

    At the same time, the potent aroma of medicinal herbs permeated the air.In response, Chase quickly stopped his infusion of vital energy and carefully opened the lid. To his delight, he saw five white pills at the bottom of the pot, each the size of a strawberry. They emitted a nice herbal scent."It's a success! I've made a Recovery Pill!" Chase exclaimed, satisfaction flashing across his eyes.He had prepared five batches of medicinal herbs in advance, thinking he could only make three pills. He did not expect himself to successfully make five, which indicated that his skill in making pills had improved.Without wasting any time, Chase placed all of these pills into a glass bottle and started meditating to replenish the vital energy that he had exhausted earlier.Soon, night descended, and a myriad of stars filled the night sky.Quinn had left work early that day.She had been trying to get hold of Chase the whole afternoon, hoping to apologize. However, none of her calls went

    Chase, who was standing directly in front of that sword strike, was equally stunned.Zacharias had been right!From that sword, he sensed the same divine intent as the one he had felt earlier in the clouds from that figure that resembled the Nine-Sea Giant Squid. It was evil, filled with pain and oppression, spreading boundlessly.Clive was indeed a projection—or a fragment—of Klondike!Chase's rage simmered down, replaced by a cold gleam in his eyes. This was the one who wanted to kill him?He was ready to strike back with full force. He summoned Greedy Wolf from the void, and his killing intent surged across the arena. The moment the blade appeared, it once again drew gasps from the audience.The overwhelming sword intent Clive had released earlier was instantly compressed and forced back by half as if it were afraid of Chase's blade. Then came the killing aura of Greedy Wolf. It was nearly tangible, sweeping across the hearts of every spectator.Earlier, Clive's sword aura had

    Clive finally seemed to snap out of his daze."You brat, did you drug me?" he barked angrily, vaguely aware that something felt off. It was as if he had just taken a nap in the arena. His first thought was that Chase must have slipped him some kind of drug."If I had drugged you, would you still be standing there?" Chase scoffed at such a ridiculous accusation.That was true. If Chase truly had drugged him, Clive would probably already be lying unconscious in the rest area.Clive reluctantly accepted Chase's explanation for now."Let's settle this once and for all!" he shouted, raising his Heaven and Earth Sword as a boundless sword aura swept across the arena.Huh? His strength felt even greater than before. Clive grew smug with pride.Chase appeared completely unaware of his incoming strike.Rookie move, he thought. Chase must have been stunned by his sword intent and was now completely frozen.Clive was imagining it all in his head.Then, he shouted, "Boundless Heaven and E

    As soon as Zacharias spoke of Klondike, Chase's sea of consciousness suddenly darkened.Chase was startled. He sensed a presence—some sort of power—watching him. He released his spiritual consciousness and swept the area but found nothing."That's Klondike's power. Just mentioning him will make you a target and draw his gaze," Zacharias warned. "I no longer have anything to lose, but you must be careful. If his true body takes notice, there's only one outcome—death.""It's too late. My master already has his eyes on you. Kid, did you not see what happened to Zacharias? I suggest you learn from it and—"Before Gideon could finish his sentence, an invisible chain shot out, binding his soul and sealing his mouth, leaving him completely unable to speak."You'd better behave. This is my sea of consciousness," Chase said coldly.The last time he struck Gideon with a bolt of lightning, it obliterated his soul, but Gideon had reformed using a portion of Zacharias' spirit. If Chase destroy

    Chase had been wondering why it took Zacharias so long to wake up. Now that he was finally awake, why was he still so weak? More importantly, why did he immediately turn against his old acquaintance?What exactly had happened in between?"He's a fraud. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid and the Nine Sea Holy Sword are all projections or incarnations of that evil deity. All that nonsense about being fated with me was a setup—just a ploy to steal my divine foresight," Zacharias said as his spiritual form twisted like wisps of smoke, looking unstable and on the verge of dispersing completely."Evil deity? Projection? Are you talking about Klondike?" Chase asked, recalling the Nine-Sea Giant Squid he encountered on the fourth level among the Worthingtons as well as the so-called expert they summoned. He remembered they had mentioned someone named Klondike.Upon hearing Chase speak that name, Gideon visibly flinched in shock."So, you actually know?" he asked with a dark expression."My soul has

    Fallon was a little speechless when he heard Ford's words.He had made up the whole "spiritual consciousness duel" thing on a whim, yet this kid delivered his commentary with such confidence and flair. It looked like he was a seasoned show-off too!Truly, the younger generation was not to be underestimated. Fallon could not help but let out a snort of laughter.Carla, standing beside him, transmitted a quiet message via spiritual consciousness, "Ford… isn't wrong.""What?" Fallon was stunned.In terms of soul and spiritual consciousness, Carla was undoubtedly one of the top experts in the nether realm. As someone who focused on physical cultivation, Fallon had always respected her spiritual skills.However, this so-called "spiritual consciousness duel" had just been something he made up.Even Carla had believed it was a lie earlier. Yet now, she was suddenly vouching for Ford, saying he was telling the truth?It really gave Fallon a scare."I made this up on the spot. Are you s

    "Could they be rigging the match?""The reward for the Holy Path is at the martial god level. Would they fake a match for that?""It's exactly because it's a martial god-level reward that they'd rig the match, got it?""No way. I object. City Lord, these two are definitely up to something!"As Clive and Chase remained motionless for longer and longer, Fallon and Carla also noticed something was wrong.However, after scanning the arena with their spiritual consciousness, they did detect a clashing of energy between the two.After a brief moment of thought, Fallon spoke up. "Everyone, please calm down. These two prodigies are currently engaged in a rather novel type of battle—a spiritual consciousness duel. The fight between them is currently in a deadlock. A single misstep could mean complete annihilation of their souls."Only those whose spiritual consciousness is highly refined can perceive what's going on. So please, be patient and wait for the match to conclude."The crowd im

    "Kid, if I hadn't deliberately transmitted my voice to you, do you think you could hear me?"Chase flinched. That voice had clearly echoed within his sea of consciousness. Could it be that Zacharias Crane had awakened?He quickly recalled the Seer of Whitepeak—the former elder of the Shadowless Sect whom he had subdued—and hurriedly searched within his sea of consciousness.Zacharias' soul still lay dormant."Heh, just as I thought. That old fellow is suffering too, hiding out inside you." The voice sounded pleased.Chase was completely stunned."Let me be honest with you. I'm the Nine Sea Holy Sword, Gideon. That Zacharias kid always bragged about being a peerless divine seer. But it turns out that even he couldn't escape his fate."As he spoke, a translucent figure materialized within Chase's sea of consciousness. He wore a gray robe and carried nine long swords on his back."Sir, and you are…"Chase was shocked. This man had entered his sea of consciousness silently. If he m

    "That's no surprise. They're human too and have emotions. It's normal.""Aren't cultivators supposed to develop noble hearts as part of their cultivation? How can they allow such raw emotions to control them?""Well, not everything looks like it seems. The way they vent their emotions is different from us common folk."Chase looked exasperated while listening to the discussion below. He did not want to listen in on them. However, there was something about Clive.When Chase tried to sense Clive with his consciousness, he could sense an ordinary cultivator and an unfathomable cultivator who was as mysterious as a deep, black hole. It got him curious. Could this man have a split personality? Or was he possessed?Chase released his consciousness completely to be safe. This way, he could watch over every move Clive made.This move had also caused him to hear every unnecessary voice below the ring.Clive had no idea what Chase had done. All he knew was that a pair of mysterious eyes s
