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
Sam lowered his head at Chase and said, “I’m so sorry to have given you trouble. This was my fault, and I apologize for this.”Edward was standing next to Chase and thought that Sam was lowering his head to him. He quickly waved his hands agitatedly and said, “You’re much too kind, sir. We’re very grateful that you’re able to do this for us.”He said this with excitement in his eyes.What an honor it was that the Kingpin was apologizing to him.Sam did not even look at him. He turned to Henry and Riley and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that no one ever gives you trouble again.”Henry and Riley were still in a daze after what just happened. They nodded blankly.“Someone please help me throw this fellow out of here. He's no longer the general manager of Emgrand Group from this day onward,” Sam said as he pointed at Daniel.Soon, Daniel was flung out to the road like a dead dog.Sam gave some thought to this and placed a purple and gold card on the table. He said to Chase, “T
"I'll continue slaughtering!" Chase stood up once more.Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had recovered. It roared and lunged toward Chase with terrifying power.This time, Chase's body quivered slightly, but he still managed to block the dragon's attack."Not bad. There's thick dragon energy in this Flood Dragon's flesh and blood. If I use it to refine pills, the effects would be incredible!"Chase was excited about this. It was the same delight he felt when discovering a spiritual herb. It was due to hunting a dragon and obtaining its energy.There was a deafening explosion.Chase rode on the dragon's neck while inside the valley. He had a sword in his left hand while his right hand was clenched into a fist. He was using all of the skills and techniques he had learned.Chase punched the dragon right in its eyes.The dragon was filled with pain as it threw its head in the air and howled in misery. Meanwhile, Chase swung a punch with his other hand and struck the dragon right in the
The Flood Dragon howled with pain. A piece of scale on its head was indented. It was almost crushed."Looks like the strength of a Flood Dragon's physique exceeds the limitations of an ordinary martial artist. Otherwise, I would've crushed half its head with one punch."Chase's eyes narrowed with a cold look in them. "But this Flood Dragon is too big. It's perfect for training! Die!" He roared and lunged at the dragon again.Man and creature collided. Chase continued forward to attack. His fists punched the dragon again and again.Every punch rang with a loud metallic clang. Chase punched harder and harder as he fought wilder and wilder."What sort of martial arts technique is that?"The dragon began to sense danger and turned to escape."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase grunted coldly and stepped on the ground as he leaped into the air like an agile monkey. He landed right on the dragon's back."Time for you to get down!"Chase growled as he grabbed hard on the drago
"We should team up to kill that little bastard no matter what price we have to pay!"The three remaining middle-aged men suddenly stood up. Murder was in the air."No. He isn't our target. Our target is the Flood Python. We shouldn't cross that man if he's still alive." The old man tried to stop them."Damn it!"Everyone was unhappy about this but they also knew that if Chase was still alive and they approached him, it would only incur his wrath. Things would get complicated if that happened."Forget about it. We should let that little bastard be. Once we get our hands on that Flood Python, we'll tear him apart," the young man in extravagant clothes said unhappily."He's right. We can't let that little bastard leave the lake alive.""I don't believe an ordinary man can survive that lake. He must have sunk deep inside and drowned.""We'll wait until tomorrow to get that python and take its crystal core!""Let's go!" Everyone left the cave after discussing this. They continued
"No wonder they're an ancient lost species. They have powerful bloodlines. My power is just enough to stab this snake, but I was able to destroy the defenses of this lizard with eagle claws."Chase frowned. The bloodline of these monsters was too powerful. If it were not for the help of mystical powers, he would have lost if he had relied only on his cultivation and physique."If that's the way this is, I'll use the opportunity to improve my sword technique…"The look in Chase's eyes turned cold. His mental energy condensed into a sword aura that instantly chopped off the head of the snake.As for the eagle-clawed lizard, it tried to struggle for its life. Even though its abdomen had a hole in it, it tried to fight back stubbornly and refused to die. It even tried to escape by running into the lake to hide.However, Chase did not let the lizard have its way.Chase took a breath to swallow true energy. The lake was instantly filled with true energy that surged and boiled wildly. I
Chase's eyes widened. He knew he was no match for this enemy.Even with his current stamina, he could only explode with a maximum strength equivalent to the weight of six thousand pounds. That middle-aged man could punch through a house with one move. If they got into close combat, Chase was bound to lose."How dare you barge into this forbidden land?"The middle-aged man spoke coldly. He glanced at the corpse and blood on the ground and immediately understood what had transpired. "I'd advise you to leave right away or you'll be sure to die."Chase laughed tauntingly."You're asking for it!" The middle-aged man was enraged. He suddenly made a move and lunged forward to kill Chase.However, a bright red sword slashed through the air as it aimed for the man's throat. The man frowned and reached out to grab the blade of the sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere.The man sensed a horrifying attack on him. His hand was torn and was almost dislocated."Your physique is extraordinar
"Oh no! I must've gotten poisoned!"Chase looked grim and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground as he began channeling his skills to stop the poison from spreading.Chase's clothes ruffled despite it being a windless day. He closed his eyes and focused his mind to meditate. He was attempting to communicate with the innate golden elixir.However, he was shocked to discover that everything he did helped nothing.He was like a statue as he maintained the pose for one hour. However, nothing happened during that time. Nothing unusual happened at all."What's going on?"Chase opened his eyes. He was bewildered as he mumbled, "True energy is the source of power for martial artists. Why am I unable to connect to it?"He looked away at a distance. The pretty man had vanished. Chase sighed."Looks like I can only give up cultivating for now."Chase could only rely on consuming normal food to maintain his life. He had to do this for quite a while. However, it was better than going hungr
"You're dead!"The pretty young man looked sullen. With an angry roar, his spear reverberated in the air. It kept buzzing as if gearing to tear a wound through the air and stab right into Chase's heart.However, Chase did not budge. He clenched his fist and punched out hard with a loud bang. The spear was immediately bent like a bow and began to break apart inch by inch. The spear had now turned to garbage."What?!" The man's eyes widened with shock.He never thought that his precious spear would be destroyed with one punch."Do you still think you're powerful?"Chase shook his head. "You're nothing in my eyes. I can kill you with one finger!"He swung another punch while speaking. He was so fast that his punch created a strong wind.A scream echoed in the air as the man flew off from the impact. There was a deep, bloody dent on his chest. Blood kept gushing out of it. He looked absolutely pitiful."This man… He's a monster!"The man clenched his teeth and stared hatefully at
Chase quickly raised his blade to block the attack.Both men's positions were swapped, and Chase was beaten back. His shirt was torn, and his muscled upper body was exposed."Are you stupid? Don't you know how to put on more clothes?!" The pretty young man attacked while shouting condescendingly.He came closer and closer to Chase. "Looks like this is all there is to you. Just surrender already."While he was speaking, the man twisted his wrist, and his black spear changed direction. It was now aimed at Chase's heart.There was a sharp whistle in the air when the spear stabbed forward. The air exploded from it.Such an attack would cause even a peak martial god to be instantly riddled with stabbing wounds.Chase grunted coldly before suddenly exploding with a roar. As true energy surged from his body, his muscles rippled and his physique expanded.Palm and fist collided to create a huge bang."Huh? How did your physique turn stronger?" The man was astonished. He was quite surp
However, there was no green poisonous gas coming from his body. The gas was unable to reach Chase because he was able to shield himself with the lightning-protective energy.This series of battles only happened within a short time.It took only about half an hour for Chase to kill everyone and for the group to escape in a fluster.The sinister mist vanished from the valley and the Thousand Soul Ghost Tree remained quiet once more.However, Chase's brows furrowed deeper. He had seen a figure appear at the border of the valley. It was standing there with crossed arms and admiring the view in a carefree manner."You… You're not dead."It was a young man.He had beautiful features and was smiling. He was as pretty as a woman. At one point, Chase thought he had entered another different world."Huh?"The beautiful man turned to look at Chase with an astonished look. "You came out of this alive! This is where the Thousand Soul Ghost Tree resides. If you didn't die, that means you ha
