“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
Chase took a shower after returning to Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1. He sat cross-legged on the floor and began cultivating the Nine Heavens Mystic Sun Technique, which was a skill the old man had left behind for him.This skill was used to absorb spiritual energy into one’s body to strengthen oneself.He closed his eyes and focused spiritually and mentally as he meditated in rhythm with his breathing. Invisible energy began flowing toward him from all corners of the villa. As the energy entered his body through his mouth and nose, the energy was refined within him.Not long after, he heard a strong knock on the door.“Mr. Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate, it’s me, Quinn Norris, the eldest daughter of the Norrises. My grandfather is in a terminal state right now, and I hope you can find it in you to save him. We promise to reward you handsomely for your help!”Quinn sounded sincere and anxious as she spoke from outside the villa’s door.Chase was at the crucial moment of his culti
The moment Henry said this, Daniel gave him a hard slap across the face. “Don’t you pull this on me, Turner! I don’t lack money. All I want is justice for my humiliation. It’s not difficult for me to let you off.”He pointed at Chase and said with clenched teeth, “First, he has to kneel and grovel at my feet!"Next, he looked at Riley with lust in his eyes. “Second, your daughter has to spend one night with me. If she pleasures me well, I might be happy enough to let all of you off.”“You… You’re despicable!” Riley was trembling with anger, and she looked pale.Henry’s expression changed as he begged, “Can we settle this in another way, Mr. Chapman? As long as you let them off, I’m willing to kneel and grovel to you.”“Sure.” Daniel smiled tauntingly. He slapped Henry’s face gently and said, “How about kneeling to me and knocking your head on the ground three times?"Daniel took a few steps back and pointed his phone at Henry. He was planning to record this.Henry turned pale. H
The next moment, they witnessed a sight that astounded them.When the three bodyguards approached Chase, they ended up flying in the air while screaming. They fell heavily to the ground, howling with pain.“How is this possible?” Daniel’s eyes widened in disbelief.He had paid big money to hire these professional bodyguards, but they were easily beaten by Chase. This was impossible!Riley was stunned. She could not believe her eyes. “He… He’s really good at fighting!”Chase did not even look at the bodyguards as he slowly walked toward Daniel.“What… What do you want?” Daniel trembled as he tried to distance himself from Chase.“Since you enjoy others kneeling at your feet, how about experiencing it yourself?”Chase kicked him behind the knees.Daniel felt his knees go weak, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.He yelled out in pain, feeling like his knees were about to break.“I want you dead, you bastard! I want you dead! Not only do I want you dead, I promise t
Everyone, including the woman in his arms, quivered because of his anger. They did not dare utter a word.They knew very well what a frightening man he was. Even the mayor of South River City had personally come to visit him on the first day he was appointed.“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to get justice for you.” Sam stood up slowly and sneered. “Come on. Take me to the presidential banquet hall.”Meanwhile, not long after Daniel left, Henry had a bad feeling as he kept convincing Chase, “We should leave now, Chase.”However, Chase did not panic but sat down calmly. He began digging into the delicious food on the table while saying, “Don’t panic, Uncle Henry. We should at least finish the meal before leaving. Food shouldn’t be wasted.”Riley almost went crazy over what he said. She replied angrily, “How are you still thinking about food when things have gotten so serious? Can’t you tell that Daniel Chapman is getting reinforcements?”“She’s right. I’m starting to think that this f
Sam could not help rubbing his eyes. The look on his face changed.He did not expect Chase to be the person who had hit Daniel.Chase was his young sir. If he wanted to, he would have beaten up Daniel without batting an eye. After all, he could even kill Sam.He looked at Chase, who had a hand in his pocket. Chase smiled as he looked at Sam. “Sam Collins, is it? I was the one who beat Daniel. Do whatever you need to punish me.”Sam almost passed out.Punish Chase? He should stop teasing Sam. Sam would never do that in a million years!Sam quietly wiped his sweat off his brow and said respectfully, “Young…”Henry suddenly approached Sam and forced himself to say, “Kingpin, it didn’t happen the way they described it. Please listen to my explanation…”Riley was shocked and quickly said, “Dad…”They had a lucky break when the Kingpin agreed to let them off. How could they still ask him to let Chase off the hook?However, Henry continued defending Chase with disregard for his own
Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec
Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho
This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s
The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
Over the years, after being backstabbed by Ricky more times than he could count, Dominic had come to understand that when facing an unknown enemy, it was best to bide one's time and act cautiously."Stone, go test his strength," he ordered."Yes, sir," Stone replied.Dressed in a black robe, Stone rarely spoke, but his towering frame—nearly six foot five inches tall—and the massive demon-headed broadsword strapped to his back made it clear to anyone that he was not someone to mess with.Of course, there was no record of this person in Cyril's sect's registry either. The moment Cyril laid eyes on him, he knew this newcomer was a powerful force.He even considered warning Chase and the others to flee. However, seeing Chase step forward without the slightest hint of fear, he immediately understood that these people who were not listed must have come from a higher realm. He then silently shifted closer to Willow and Walter."Go ahead," Chase said calmly.Though his voice was not l
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
