“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.

    While the women were arguing, Chase came down with a box in his hand.He would not have returned if he had just left his daily necessities behind. Those would not have been worth making the trip back.However, his master had left him some things before he died that Chase had kept at Quinn’s place. He came back to get them.Chase glanced at Quinn and suddenly turned to say to Bianca, “Miss Cooper, can I borrow some tissues and a lipstick from you?”Bianca had no idea what he wanted to do, but she passed those items to him.Chase used the lipstick to write down a beauty prescription on the tissue. He named it the Basic Youth Retaining Liquid.It was a youth retaining pill in the cultivation world. Anyone who consumed it would be able to look youthful and never turn old even on the day they died.The formula Chase jotted down was a modified version that had an amazing beautification effect.After he was done, Chase handed the tissue over to Quinn.“We've known each other for a wh

    “You’re such a sweet-talker. I was worried that you wouldn’t be used to my cooking. After all, everything here is food that you had when we were living in dire straits. Rebecca told me that you’re eating steaks and other expensive food now for your meals.” Julia rolled her eyes at him brusquely.She hesitated before saying, “By the way, I was thinking about going out for some air. I’d like to visit the graves of your Grandpa Gideon and the other children…”“We’ll go out in a few days, Miss Julia…” Chase said. “It'll cause some unnecessary trouble if you go out now. Let’s wait until I’ve taken care of the Harrigans.”The police had to be watching Mount General Cemetery right now. They would be arrested the moment they visited the graves. Even though Chase was powerful enough not to be bothered by them, he did not want to stir up trouble for no reason.“Alright.”Julia nodded and reminded him worriedly, “I know you want revenge, but you have to be careful. Nothing is more importan

    “Grandpa, what should we do?” Bianca asked nervously.Before coming here, she already knew that Dark Cloud Town was not safe and would be a little chaotic. Unexpectedly, it was scarier than she thought. Someone was even robbing them with guns!William had experienced the battlefield, so he composed himself and said, “Calm down, and let's see what happens.”Chase had the same thought as him.Soon, those men with guns walked over. The man in the lead, Scar, roared aggressively, “All of you in there, get out of the car!”“Hester, give them some money so that they’ll go away,” William ordered.The driver, Hester, immediately took out wads of cash and opened the door. He then said to the robbers, “Guys, calm down. We’re just tourists. This is a little something from us, so please let us go.”As he said that, he handed the money over.They never expected Scar to push the money to the floor with a scoff. “Shut up! Get out of the car right now or we’ll shoot.”After he said that, the

    “No.”One of the robbers chuckled coldly and then looked at Ann lewdly. “You were the loudest just now. Since that’s the case, you can stay to satisfy me and the boys. We want to know if you’re just as loud in bed.”The robbers laughed as they sized up Ann’s curvy body lewdly.“You!” Ann’s face turned pale from anger.“My good man, you can have her. Can you let me go?” The young man asked, his eyes darting around.“Rodney! You!” Ann looked at Rodney Allan in disbelief.Was this still the same man who claimed he would die for her when he used to pursue her?“Ann, I’m sorry. I don’t want to die, so I apologize,” Rodney said mercilessly.“Alright, you can go now. However, you have to leave naked,” a robber whistled and said.“Thank you, my good men!”Rodney was ecstatic and immediately ran away after he stripped down to his underwear.Right after he took a few steps, the group heard a gunshot. Rodney’s head exploded from behind. His blood and brain matter started flowing to the

    When Chase heard what Anna said, he asked the driver to stop the car and then looked at her from inside the car. “Who are you?”“I’m Ann Shields. You might not know me, but I know you.”Ann quickly said, “I'm Quinn’s friend. She’s shown me a photo of you.”Quinn’s friend? Chase wondered with a frown.Ann thought he did not believe her, so she continued, “I really am Quinn’s friend. Please save me!”Chase then said to Scar, “I’m taking her away.”“Sir, please leave something for the boys. If not…” Scar’s expression changed.Even though he was the leader of the robbers, he had angered a lot of his men by letting Chase and his group go. If he let Chase take this woman away as well, it would be hard for him to convince the masses.“Do I need to repeat myself?” Chase lifted his eyebrow and asked firmly.“No!”Scar swallowed and said to his men, “Let her go!”“Boss!” one of the robbers objected.“Shut up!”Scar glared at his lackey and barked, “You don’t have the right to questi

    “The ring on that kid’s hand is called the Dark Dragon Ring. I’ve seen it on the dark web, and it’s the symbol of the Dark Dragon King, the King of the Dark World.“Think about this. If we did anything to them just now, we might already be dead right now.”“What?”The robbers were horrified, and their faces were immediately filled with horror.At this moment, one of the robbers who was keeping watch called out to Scar. “Boss, more people are coming.”“Alright.”Scar was elated and quickly ordered, “We have more company, boys. Hurry up and get ready to make a move.”Immediately, the robbers got into position with a clear division of labor.Ten Rolls-Royces drove over shortly on the rugged mountain road.Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, John was resting his eyes in the back seat.If one looked closely, one would notice that his hair had turned white. It was as if he had aged ten years in just one night.A young man next to him said flatteringly, "Uncle John, after we destroy th

    "How did they die if I didn't kill them?" Chase shook his head coolly. "These garbage are not worth a mention.""You… You're really cruel…" The plump woman shivered. There was fear in her pretty eyes. She had a different expectation of someone like Chase. Someone like him should be a gentleman. How could he be someone so cruel and vicious?"Who are you? Why did you kill the Secret Sect disciples?" someone roared. There was a coldness in the voice.A group of martial artists in black walked into the restaurant. A black-robed man was in the lead—Huck Brennan.Huck was standing outside the restaurant. He was surrounded by people, but none of them dared to get within three feet of him. There seemed to be an invisible wall around him that put a distance between him and the people. He intimidated the crowd.Behind Huck were several martial monarchs. Each of them was powerful in their respective abilities, especially the peak martial monarchs. They were very close to becoming extreme mar

    "Unfortunately, you shouldn't have crossed me."Not long after he said this, he dealt a kick. He kicked one of the men at the waist with great strength. The man flew several yards away, his spine breaking from the kick.There was one last person left. He was extremely frightened and turned toward the deep alley to run."Huh?"Chase raised an eyebrow.That man was attempting to escape. Could he have sensed danger at that moment and enhanced his power based on a last-minute judgment, which helped him escape?"I've said before that none of you can leave!" Chase said coldly. He leaped up and moved with great agility. His legs strode in the air, and a kick whipped out at the head of a man who was trying to escape.The martial monarch flew off about a dozen feet from the impact. He crashed into a row of tables, and half of his face had caved in. All his teeth were crushed."What witchcraft is that?" The remaining person turned pale."You're not good enough to know anything!"

    The dagger was pulled out, and blood splattered everywhere."You…" Vaughn was so shocked that his eyes widened."This guy… He has strong willpower…"The others took a sharp breath with a wary look in their eyes. That man had come to them of his own accord and allowed them to stab him in the shoulder with a dagger. If this were some other person, that person would be howling with pain.However, this man did not make a sound. He even used the pain from the stab to erupt with power."I'll kill you!" Vaughn roared as his muscles swelled up. Energy erupted all over him as he raised his hand to hit Chase viciously on the head.Chase raised his palm to block the attack. He used force with his wrist, and a crack was heard. Vaughn's arms were broken. After that, Chase crushed his throat and he lost the chance to even struggle from the grip.A human head rolled to the ground."That's vicious!" Shocked voices began discussing this.Everyone watched on.Chase wiped the remaining blood fr

    Chase was more than a hundred miles away from the small town at the foot of the mountain. He moved at the speed of lightning to get there. When he finally arrived at the small town outside the valley, it was noontime.Many martial artists were gathered at the foot of the mountain. Corpses of the Secret Sect disciples were strewn all over the streets."Looks like many people barged into the valley to save others last night, but they ended up in a heated fight instead." Chase shook his head.Among the corpses were those who were wearing uniforms of Secret Sect disciples while others were in ordinary village clothes. Some had blood and dirt on them. They had clearly died not too long ago."Huh?"Chase's gaze fell onto the chest of a corpse. The height and body of the corpse were not usual. There was also a unique tattoo on its chest.Chase stared at it for a while, and he slowly frowned. "That's the tattoo of the Secret Sect!"He recognized the tattoo. It was the mark of the Secret

    The man in black, who was the leader, grunted coldly. He pulled a saber from his waist and came attacking Chase."You're dead!"A murderous look shot out of Chase's eyes.Chase rushed forward with the speed of lightning. He was like a cheetah on the hunt and was soon fighting with the man in black. They had only just started fighting.An arm broke, and blood gushed out. The blood stained his chest, and he flew about three to four feet away.The man in black looked frightened. He could not believe it. He was a martial deity. How did he get defeated by garbage who was just a mere martial monarch?"How is this possible—"Before he could finish, Chase swept a vicious kick at him. He kicked the man right in the head. His brain exploded with blood and pieces of his brain matter splattering everywhere."Kill him!" The remaining people were angered. They came attacking Chase at the same time.Chase faced them coolly. He slaughtered them quickly as he moved around them like a phantom g

    "Chase Collins?"Upon hearing his name, the expressions of the man and woman in green shifted dramatically."That's right, it's me," Chase replied coolly."How did you find us?" the man asked sharply.Chase scoffed without offering an explanation. It was clear they recognized him, so he saw no reason to waste his words."If you know me, then answer one question," Chase said, fixing his piercing gaze on the man. He spoke slowly, enunciating each word, "Where is she?"Quinn, Lyana, and his other sisters were his family. Their safety was paramount to him.The man's expression flickered between hesitation and uncertainty."I don't know what you're talking about," he finally said while shaking his head slowly."Heh, so you refuse to answer?" Chase's eyes narrowed sharply. "If that's the case, don't blame me for what happens next!"He raised his arm, and a brilliant silver light began to radiate from his palm.The man's face paled, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! I admit it! We k

    Time slowly passed.Three hours later, a muffled sound resonated as the energy in Chase's body surged dramatically. His cultivation had advanced to the next stage of the martial monarch realm, and his vitality was brimming with unmatched strength."I've finally reached this stage of the martial monarch realm!"He exhaled deeply and stood up.After stabilizing his current progress, he resumed alchemy, intending to take advantage of his momentum to refine three more Spirit Gathering Pills.Half an hour later, the pills were complete.Chase swallowed one without hesitation. A surge of potent medicinal energy coursed through his body, refining his flesh and bones.A guttural growl escaped him as his pores opened, expelling impurities from his body like a coiling serpent. As time went on, the energy around Chase gradually stabilized, and his complexion regained its healthy glow."Phew... It's finally done," Chase murmured in relief. He then carefully stored the remaining two pills.

    "The rarer the spiritual herb, the greater its potency. For refining a Spirit Gathering Pill, the primary ingredient is the Three-Striped Purple Sun Herb. In addition to that, six supplementary herbs are needed. If I gather them all, it should be enough," Chase mused before forming a plan."My body has been tempered to a considerable degree. Refining a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills shouldn't pose much of a problem," he said with a confident smile.'Alchemy is indeed effective, but the mental energy it consumes is enormous. At my current state, I can refine, at most, five pills a day. Still, even five Spirit Gathering Pills a day is an incredible fortune,' Chase thought with satisfaction.With that in mind, he sat cross-legged, retrieved his pill furnace and the required herbs, and followed the instructions in the Emperor's Alchemy Codex to begin refining.Everything went smoothly.In just a short while, a perfectly round and glistening Spirit Gathering Pill was produced."This

    Moments later, silence settled over the area.Chase rose from the ground and dusted himself off."Huh? Did I just break through?"He suddenly realized that his strength had increased yet again. The sensation was peculiar but unmistakable—his cultivation had advanced to another level.'No matter. I need to leave first,' he thought.Chase turned and began to walk away. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped abruptly."Hmm?" His brows furrowed together as he detected an unusual fluctuation in the surrounding energy. He paused, tilting his head and focusing his senses.After a moment, he opened his eyes and smirked coldly. Through his heightened perception, he had noticed someone—a small fry—spying on him."Haha, you little brat, I've finally caught you!"A sinister laugh echoed, and a man dressed in black battle attire emerged. His expression was twisted with rage.Meanwhile, his eyes locked onto Chase, and they were brimming with killing intent."You killed my senior, Kit L
