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

    Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle

    "Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump

    "Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was

    Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del

    However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t

  • My Seven Gorgeous Women   Chapter 1865

    Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating

    "Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo

    The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an

    Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
