Chapter 227

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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.

    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. My team and I a

    A twisted grin stretched across Huey's face, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent."Right back at you," Chase replied nonchalantly."Enough of this bullshit."Caleb sneered. "I'm giving you one last chance, Cooper. Surrender now and I'll spare your life."Refuse, and all of you will die! You should know better that the Coopers won't last a day without you leading them!""How dare you! Let's see who's the last man standing today. Don't get ahead of yourself!" Bianca yelled angrily."Well, what are we waiting for? Bring it on!" William said with a dark expression.Surrendering was not an option."Alright then! If you're so determined to march to your deaths, so be it!" Caleb said coldly.He then turned around, gave a nod to the young man dressed in black, and said respectfully, "As you've heard, Master Lemmington. Kill them all!""As you wish!"Flashing William a predatory smile, Tyrone stepped forward and leaped out from the crowd.He said, "You were lucky to have a loyal

    "Urgh, now my hands are filthy thanks to a piece of crap like you!" Tyrone said with a scornful smile, not even bothering to glance at Cameron's dead body.It all happened too fast, leaving William and the others in stunned silence."Cameron!""Cameron!"Grief overtook Carter and his remaining disciple when they realized what had happened, whereas Chase shook his head grimly.This would not have happened if they had taken his warning seriously.Snapping back to his senses, Caleb laughed haughtily and said, "Well, well, well! And yet you dare to say he's skilled? Look at him now!""Exactly! You should've known better than to send someone like him to fight against us. He couldn't even finish his sentence!" Huey said, looking pleased.The two Harrigans gained a newfound respect for Tyrone after witnessing his skills firsthand.He was indeed the Supreme Elder's disciple!Hearing Caleb's words, William asked Carter with a grim expression, "What should we do now, Master Watson?""

    "You know nothing about martial arts, yet you dare to spout such nonsense?!""I'm just stating the facts," Chase replied nonchalantly."You...!" Francis flew into a rage and was about to beat him up.Seeing this, Bianca immediately stepped in and said, "Please stop saying such things, Mr. Collins. He's right. We're complete newbies here. We should keep quiet."Bianca was starting to feel annoyed at Chase as well.He did not even know anything about martial arts! Why could he not just shut up?Besides, Carter was representing the Coopers. Chase should be saying nice things about him, not words that would damage his reputation.William also said with a frown, "I agree with Bianca, Mr. Collins. Let's just keep quiet for now. We wouldn't want to risk Master Watson getting distracted."Still in the middle of the fight with Tyrone, Carter yelled angrily, "Just wait, you rude brat! I'll deal with you after I've won this fight!"Seeing that nobody would heed his advice, Chase fell sil

    The sudden voice from afar had stunned everyone, even Tyrone.Directing their gazes toward the source of the sound, the crowd stared agape at Chase, eyes filled with shock and confusion.After a moment of silence, Huey burst into laughter and said, "Is it just me, or did he say that he can save Carter?""Hahaha! I think he just wants to boast a bit before he dies so that he can preserve some of his dignity!" Caleb laughed loudly as well.It was obvious that they did not believe Chase one bit.They had witnessed Tyrone's skills firsthand. Even Carter was easily defeated, not to mention someone like Chase.Carter, who was on the brink of death, opened his eyes and sighed helplessly when he saw that his 'savior' was Chase.He was dying here, yet Chase was still saying such things.Thinking that Carter did not hear what he said, Chase repeated, "If you're willing to apologize to me, Master Watson, I'll save your life!"Chase did not have a good impression of Carter. He thought of

    Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was

    Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.

    Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were

    "No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami

    Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the

    Chase watched as Fallon chatted with others and did not answer his question.He was furious with Fallon for ignoring him.Chase immediately used Thousand Eyes and Flowers, which he had learned from Jade. A firewall slowly burned behind him. The eye of the fire kept shooting flames as it slowly gathered more flames.The air around it was like an oven as the temperature shot up continuously."Step back."Chase warned Willow and the others.Willow and Walter were the only ones who knew about his sisters.They took several steps back to avoid the range of Chase's Thousand Eyes and Flowers. Willow and Walter showed Yara and Lisa images of Chase's sisters to explain the situation."These two sisters of Chase are really beautiful. The one in white looks adorable while the one in purple looks so dashing. Tsk, tsk. I had no idea he had such good fortune."Yara praised Olivia and Hanna when he saw their images.Willow and Lisa felt a little jealous. "They're all right."They replied w

    They objected to Carla and Fallon's relationship from the very start.Both of them were happy to see them fight.If Carla could break up with Fallon, they might consider forgiving Carla for setting up the Severance Formation against them.After all, it would be good for her if she learned her lesson.Tack and Norm waited to see how Fallon would handle this.Norm knew nothing about this, but Tack was sure of one thing. Chase's sisters were in his hands.Besides them, one of Chase's seven sisters was in the hands of a Supreme Elder from the Nefarious Deity sect.Fallon had been wondering about Chase's sisters when Carla suddenly accused him of this. He could not help sighing quietly.What did he do to deserve this?"Would you believe me if I told you I don't know who his sisters are?" Fallon said bitterly."Believe you? If I'm right about this, Chase Collins is working with Willow because he wants to find his sisters. He already has the Nefarious Deity Sect locked down as the p

    At the tournament venue, Chase watched as Yara held Willow's hand while Willow was holding Lisa's hand. All three of them came toward him in a line.He looked at them strangely.Yara had forgotten that she was dressed as a man, and it looked quite striking to be holding two women's hands.The spectators and Yara's die-hard fans burned with jealousy when they saw their ideal man being close to Willow, who should know better. They became agitated as all sorts of speculations crossed their minds. They started to curse at Willow."Who's that slut? How dare she seduce Yara?""Tear her apart right now! Go on! What are you waiting for?""Vixen! She's shameless. How could she be good enough for Yara when she's so ugly?""Tsk, tsk. Could she have drugged him? Why does Yara look excited? There's no way he could be interested in a mediocre woman like her when he's such a gorgeous specimen.""Look at the three of them running toward Chase Collins. Is this some sort of new play? Looks excit

    Every powerhouse around them must have tried to sense it and come to the same conclusion as her.None of them dared to act rashly.All the top fighters from the sixth level have gathered there to quietly watch Chase, the Chosen One, enter the Holy Path.However, he told everyone that he was waiting for others.All of them had no choice but to wait with him.The people he was waiting for had finally arrived.Yara appeared hurriedly and entered the tournament ring along with Willow and Lisa."Who's that good-looking man?"Tack asked Fallon.Fallon and Carla looked at each other. He answered in exasperation, "That's Yara Fries, who is actually a woman."Tack and Norm did not believe him. Yara may have exceptional looks and could be viewed as a formidable character, but there was no doubt that he was a man.They exclaimed at the same time, "A woman?" "Yes. Yara possesses the phoenix bloodline. Every time Yara goes through the Rising, he will go through a gender change and his
