John suddenly roared, “Fletcher!”“M-Mr. John, I… I’m here…” An old butler appeared in trepidation.“Have you found out who Master Collins really is?” John stared at him with red eyes.Fletcher quivered and fell kneeling to the floor. “I… I've failed… you. I still... haven’t… figured out who he really is…”“Why don’t you just die if you know you’re useless?”John smiled pervertedly as he picked up a stool and bashed him up crazily.Fletcher screamed. His voice gradually turned into a whimper, and he was eventually beaten to death.Everyone was afraid of being the next Fletcher.That was when John’s phone rang.He picked it up for a few seconds, and an eerie laugh suddenly erupted from his throat.“Hahaha! The Harrigans are saved. The Supreme Elder’s first disciple is on his way over. He'll arrive tomorrow afternoon!“He said we can begin making plans. Once he arrives, he'll destroy the Coopers and kill Master Collins. After that, we’ll take over South River City!”His words
“As for the wizardry school, ordinary people won’t usually be aware of them. They're the ones who have true abilities.”Chase explained things in detail, “The wizardry school is split further into five branches—Mountain, Medical, Life, Face, and Fortune. This is commonly known as the Five Techniques of Metaphysics. What you know as martial arts medical skills, divination, fortune telling, and location analysis techniques originated from these five branches."All three of them were astonished at this. They had learned something new from Chase’s explanation. It never occurred to them that there was so much knowledge hidden in this concept.Sam asked, “There's something I don’t understand, Sir. Why won’t those in the wizardry school show themselves?”“This question is a little too complicated to answer. You might not understand it even if I explained it to you.”Chase elaborated casually, “Let me put it this way. They can’t show themselves so blatantly to the world because this world
After William left with Bianca, Chase, and Sam went to the homestay where they had settled in Julia.“Watch the door. Don’t allow anyone to enter without my permission.”Chase gave Sam the order before stepping into the homestay.Julia had been staying inside her room. She was still afraid of lights, especially fire.She cowered in a corner the moment Chase turned on the lights. She hid under the covers and trembled as she looked at Chase.Her condition had not improved since the last time he saw her, but her clothes were cleaner than before, and she looked healthier as well.“Don’t be afraid, Miss Julia. It’s me, Little Rocky. I’m here to treat you.”Chase wanted to go to her but was afraid he would scare her. He comforted her patiently.It took some difficulty, but he managed to calm her down. Chase stopped hesitating as he took out the Clear-Headed Talisman and gently flung it at her.At the same time, Chase gently chanted, “Appear!” A strange sight appeared when he said
“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. The Harrigans are about to meet their doom. I won’t let anyone who was involved with the orphanage’s fire get away with it,” Chase promised.Julia choked back a sob and said, “You’re a good boy. I know that you’re quite capable, but you still need to take good care of yourself. You have a long life ahead of you, and you shouldn’t let revenge blind you.“Moreover, I believe your Grandpa Gideon and the others would never want you to endanger yourself.”“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. I can do it.”Chase crouched in front of her as he tried to be on level with her height. He asked again, “By the way, Miss Julia, I found out that my sisters are still alive. Have you any idea where they are?”“I… I have no idea either.” The look in Julia’s eyes turned dim. She shook her head and said, “You were sent away after that fire. The girls and I thought we were dead for sure.“Your Grandpa Gideon reminded us of the dried-up well in the garden at the crucial moment and got u
Inside Room 802 of the Emgrand Hotel, Bernard was excited to see Quinn appear as promised. “I thought you wouldn’t come, Quinn.”“Don’t read too much into this. I’m just here to discuss the medical prescription with you,” Quinn replied. There was a tinge of sorrow deep inside her eyes.Since she had witnessed how intimate Chase and Bianca were, she had been gloomy and feeling sad about it.Quinn was wearing conservative casual clothes. Even then, her clothes were unable to hide her slender figure.“I know, I know.”Bernard nodded. His gaze kept slithering all over her body as his heart burned with lust.Quinn was voluptuous and had a pretty face. She was a great specimen of a woman.There was also a light scent coming from her as she had just taken a bath. Bernard almost lost control of himself.He quickly looked away and put up a gentlemanly demeanor. “Have a seat, Quinn. We can take our time discussing this.”Bernard got up to open up a bottle of wine after Quinn sat down. “
Quinn’s body quivered slightly, and she later became motionless and stiff.Bernard looked at her carefully before asking, “What's your name?”“My name is Quinn Norris,” Quinn replied in a robotic tone.“What do you call me?” Bernard got excited.“Master.”Bernard burst out laughing agitatedly. “I did it. The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman Master passed down to me really works!”The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman was also known as the Trance Talisman. It could control a woman to sleep with a man while she was in a blank state.It was better than drugging a woman as she would obey the person who put the talisman on her even though she was paralyzed mentally. In short, she would do whatever the person told her to.This was why Bernard had made the effort to invite Quinn to the hotel.As for the prescription, it was all just his ploy.After the death of Lucas, all he wanted was to sleep with Quinn. He took a plane out of the country overnight.Bernard looked at Qui
Quinn was shocked while looking at Bernard’s dead body. Her mind went blank.When she snapped out of it, fear filled her face as she said, “Are you crazy, Chase? You killed someone!”“Oh," Chase replied stoically. He acted like this was nothing serious.Quinn was about to cry from the anxiety. “Oh no! I’m going to be ruined because of you.”Chase replied with indifference, “I'm the one who killed him. I’ll take responsibility for it. Don’t worry, you won’t be implicated.”She roared, “Even if you don't implicate me, I don’t want anyone to know that I have a murderer for a husband. I don’t want my company and family to be destroyed because of you.”“What do you want me to do?” Chase frowned and asked.Quinn replied heartlessly, “I want a divorce. The faster the better. I don’t want to be dragged down by you. We’ll go our separate ways from now on. We'll never get involved with each other’s business.”Chase said grimly, “I promised your grandfather to take care of you before he d
“Who… Who are you?” Quinn asked weakly.“I’m the general manager of the Emgrand Hotel, Miss Norris. We apologize for causing you alarm for the fire that broke out in our hotel,” the woman said apologetically.Quinn was taken aback. “Fire?”“Don’t you remember?”The hotel manager tried to jog her memory. “Half an hour ago, a fire broke out in Room 803. It implicated Room 802 and caused your friend to die in the fire. You’re the only one we managed to rescue…”Quinn’s eyes widened. She thought she had heard wrong.Bernard was killed by Chase. How did he end up being burned to death?The general manager said, “If you’re not able to remember anything, you may check the news online, Miss Norris.”That was when Quinn reacted. She took out her phone to check online.She was shocked to read that the internet was filled with news of the Emgrand Hotel being on fire.[The Emgrand Hotel broke out in a mysterious fire tonight at around nine. There was one casualty and one wounded. The wou
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
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
