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
Chase hung up and rubbed his nose in disbelief.He initially wanted Hector to take care of the body, but they had accidentally discovered Bernard’s identity as an Eastern Ocean spy.This was just as well. It solved unnecessary trouble.He put his phone back into his pocket and returned to the villa. Julia was playing with her phone when he asked, “Miss Julia, how is it going learning to use the phone?”Julia was relieved to know that Chase had made a name for himself when Sam brought her to Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1 and she saw how luxurious it was.She also felt like she had lost touch with the world after going crazy for more than ten years. She did not even know how to use a phone.The villa’s housekeeper, Rebecca, bought her the latest Fruit 14 and volunteered herself to teach Julia to use the phone.Rebecca covered her mouth and smiled. “Miss Julia learns really fast, Mr. Collins. She knows how to chat on the phone and watch clips online now.”“That’s because you tau
How would Chase look at her?She laughed self-deprecatingly and leaned helplessly against the couch.Quinn, oh, Quinn. What was happening to her?She had already said those words to him. Their relationship might as well come to an end.Quinn already had Little Rocky. Why did she have to tie Chase to her selfishly?That was when her doorbell rang.Quinn walked to the door and looked out through the eyehole. She found Chase waiting outside.She quivered slightly as slight joy filled her heart.Quinn quickly opened the door as she tried to hold back her happiness. She looked at Chase, saying, “You… You’re back.”Chase grunted in reply.Quinn could not help saying, “I’m sorry to have treated you that way, Chase. It’s because I…”Chase stopped her. “You don’t need to explain. I’m not here with any intentions. I’m just here to pack up my things and move out.“Don’t worry. I won’t bother you in the future.”Chase walked into the villa after that and headed straight for his room.
A cynical smile appeared on Chase's face. He waved his hand, and two silver flashes shot out.Silver needles pierced into the men in black's hearts and through the middle of their eyes. They did not even make a sound as they died on the spot."What…"All the Webers watching took a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps. There was wariness in their expressions as they were filled with fear. Those men were powerful martial artists, but they were killed without even being able to retaliate."Who is this man? How dare he slaughter the guards of the Secret Sect's headquarters?!"Everyone began whispering among themselves."My gosh! That man must be a god to be so powerful. He killed all the guards from the Secret Sect's headquarters! How many people have he killed?""I heard that a powerful man emerged in Capital City who destroyed the Starks. Could it be him?""Impossible! Your news is outdated. I heard that this man's name is Chase Collins. He was born in a village at the bord
Chase would rather exhaust his vital energy than use precious ingredients. After all, he aimed to be at the peak of martial arts.If he relied on precious ingredients to help achieve peak stage momentarily, it would easily leave unwanted side effects or even cause his power to spiral. His cultivation would be forever stalled if that happened.There was a reason why some things were too good to be true.The cultivator's path meant that the more powerful the skill, the more difficulties one had to endure. It was the same with saint-level skills."If I accumulate enough experience, I can still formulate a plan to scale to greater heights even if I'm unable to achieve a breakthrough within a short time."There was a glint deep inside Chase's eye.All the old and weak, women and children of the Webers were just ants to Chase. He could destroy them with just a flip of the hand. They were not worth mentioning at all.However, if they gathered, they would be able to produce great power
"Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat
Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
