"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

    Holding her gaze, Bernard flashed Quinn a smile and said, "There are no conditions. I'm giving it to you for free."Quinn's brows furrowed at his words.As if reading her mind, Bernard continued, "I know you've found someone you like. Don't worry. You and me, we're just friends now."Like I said, I just want to help. Please let me help you so that I won't have any regrets."Well, if you insist on thanking me, just treat me to a meal when this is all settled."Quinn's pretty eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing his words.She could not help but think to herself, 'Was I wrong about him before? He seems like a really decent guy.'Bernard continued, "Please don't refuse my help, okay? Besides, I'm sure you wouldn't want the Norrises' legacy to be destroyed, right?"These were the words that pierced through her heart. After all, she had only two goals in mind—one, to look after Little Rocky; two, to restore her family’s former glory as per her grandfather's dying wish."It's gett

    After the helper left, Chase asked curiously, "You know people from the sect, Mr. Cooper?""Well, you can say I used to be an affiliate."William nodded lightly and continued, "Frankly speaking, I was one of their disciples, but I left and joined the army when the war broke out. It's been almost 50 years."He then let out a sigh and said with a somber expression, "The bodyguard who died to protect me the other day was a lad called Quentin Lawrence. He was one of the sect's disciples. "Yesterday, after regaining consciousness, I contacted the sect and asked them to deal with Lawrence's body. I also sought out some help from them."Chase nodded in understanding as he asked, "You're facing some troubles, Mr. Cooper?"Without waiting for a response from William, Bianca spoke up and said coldly, "That's right, Mr. Collins. We received a challenge from the Harrigans yesterday. They want us to have a showdown at Crescent Lake this afternoon. It's a fight to the death."Given the curre

    To their amazement, a palm print appeared on the granite table. Carter had left a dent that was three centimeters deep."This is... How..."William and Bianca were both too stunned to speak. They could not believe what they were seeing.Just how powerful was this man that he could leave a dent like this on the table?It was truly mind-blowing for William and Bianca.If Carter were to place his palm on a body instead, would it mean that the body would be perforated?At this point, William could not help but treat Carter with reverence while saying, "You're truly a man of skills, Master Watson. I've greatly underestimated your capabilities. Please forgive me."Crossing his hands behind his back, the smug look on Carter's face was unmistakable. Anyone could see that he was enjoying the flattery very much.His two disciples looked equally haughty.Still relishing their moment of glory, one of the disciples suddenly noticed Chase shaking his head.The disciple's expression sank as

    "In fact, external martial artists are the weakest between the two styles because this style relies solely on brute force. Sure, these guys won't have any problem against three to five opponents, but they'll be at a distinct advantage during huge group fights."William and Bianca nodded unisonly in understanding.Carter continued, "The reason why internal martial artists are superior to external martial artists is because, apart from brute force, they're also trained to cultivate true energy. Coupled with other techniques, the power that they unleash is unparalleled."The ranking system of internal martial artists is primarily divided into two categories—acquired and innate. There are many sublevels within the acquired rank, starting with apparent strength, hidden strength, inner strength, strength-dissolving, and finally, meridian opening!“Being the first sub-level, apparent strength simply refers to internal martial artists who have succeeded in using their true energy during co

    Just when William was about to reply to Chase's request with a nod, one of Carter's disciples sneered. "What good can you do by tagging along? You don't know anything about martial arts, so you certainly can't be of any help. Not only that, you may even be a burden to us.""He's right. We're heading off for battle, and from the looks of it, it's going to be bloody. Are you sure you won't shit your pants?" the other disciple laughed haughtily and looked at Chase, eyes full of disdain.Chase replied calmly, "Don't worry, I promise I won't be a burden to anyone."He was asking to join because he was worried about the safety of William and the others.He felt that he was responsible somehow, given that he was the reason the Coopers got into this mess with the Harrigans. He could not just walk away.Sensing his determination, William nodded and said, "You're welcome to join us, Mr. Collins."Carter knitted his brows together as he said, "Let me make this clear, Cooper.

    "Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat

    Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t

    Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i

    "Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was

    Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic

    Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa

    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.
