“That young man is Master Collins? How is that possible?”John stood up suddenly from his seat as his eyes stared hard at Chase.The Harrigans behind him, who had seen Chase before, were in shock.They had investigated Chase when he and Huey had an altercation. They had confirmed that he was a country bumpkin who had just arrived at South River City.That was why they did not think much of Chase. They never suspected him even after Huey's death.However, reality had told them that the country bumpkin they did not pay heed to was Master Collins himself.They could not accept it.“Chase Collins, Master Collins!!!”John’s eyes turned red. There was a savage expression on his face as he roared, “They’re both called Collins and are close to the Coopers. I should've realized this. I should've!“Collins, you bastard. You shouldn’t have revealed yourself.“I don’t care if you’re Master Collins or the survivor of Green Hills Orphanage, you’re dead today!“Your head will be mine. I’ll
Everyone witnessed Bob stumbling a few steps back after the smoke and dust dissipated. Chase was still standing in the same spot with a hand behind his back. He did not move at all.“Did Bob Farley just suffer a hit?”“How is that possible…”All martial artists present stood up in shock. There was a stunned look on all their faces.Bob was a peak meridian-opening master, but Chase was able to hold his own against Bob and even got the upper hand. That proved Chase was more powerful than Bob was.He steadied himself with an extremely upset look on his face. “You have quite a hand. It’s no wonder you act so arrogantly.”Bob suddenly broke into a wide smile. “I now announce the end of this warm-up session. Your luck ends here!“Now, let me give you a taste of the most powerful martial arts technique my master has passed down to me!”He roared, and the vigorous energy around him began to move fluidly. His physique immediately heightened five more feet into the air. His clothes wer
“It’s my turn to attack!”Chase’s demeanor changed the moment he said this.He was no longer the young man who kept his powers hidden. He now looked like an emperor looking down at his subjects whose lives were in his hands.Everything looked small under his gaze. His towering finger stood proud and tall under the starry sky.It looked like Chase was the most powerful man under the sky!Even Bob was intimidated by Chase to the extent that he subconsciously wanted to bow down to Chase.Chase took a step forward and said, “My intention is to slice you with a sword!”He used his finger as a blade and sliced hard through the air.A bright flash appeared shockingly from his finger, and it flew straight in Bob's direction.The flash was about ten feet long, and it broke the ground in half. It was a clean cut as the ground was smooth and flat. It looked like he was slicing a vegetable.“My gosh, what’s that?”“Was it caused by some impact?”The people below the stage were still re
The world became silent so silent that everyone could hear a pin drop.Everyone’s gaze was focused on the proud figure standing in the arena.That figure stood tall like an emperor who held power over all the lands. It was a simple figure, but it was powerful enough to earn everyone’s respect.This recognition made everyone feel agitated.Most of them had thought that Chase would not be Bob’s match. He was too young, after all.However, the arrogant Bob had died in Chase's hands, and he had even begged for mercy before he died.What was true power?This was true power!Bianca stared at Chase with infatuation in her eyes.He was such a powerful man!The silence quickly broke with an exclamation, “Wow, Mr. Collins is incredible!”Carol, who was below the stage, gently patted her voluptuous bosom. Her cheeks were red, and she looked agitated.Vinny, Edward, and the others sitting next to her were all silent.They were now looking at Chase with shock, incredulity, respect, but
Chase stood alone in the arena with a stoic expression. “Clear the scene, Mr. Cooper.”“Yes, Master Collins!”William understood his intentions. He quickly turned to everyone below the stage. “Besides the five elite families, everyone else should leave.”The place was soon empty. Even Vinny, Edward, and the others were gone.Only Chase and the five elite families were left in the stadium.John seemed to notice something. He quivered violently and coughed up a lot of blood.“The Harrigans…”Chase walked down from the arena and approached the Harrigans slowly. “I bet you never dreamed this was how you would end.”Every Harrigan but John was kneeling and begging for mercy.John knew that their reign was over and roared in resentment, “You bastard! What I regret most is not cleaning up that mess better all those years ago. I should've made sure that you burned to death. The Harrigans wouldn’t have ended up this way if it wasn’t for you.”“Are you sure about that?”A cold look fl
However, all three of them were now lowering their heads at Chase and treating him with utmost respect.Chase said without beating about the bush, “I only have one request for the Norrises, and that is for Quinn to continue leading the family. You need to assist her in every way you can. Do you have any problems with that?”“No, no, we don’t.” All three of them quickly shook their heads in fear of Chase misunderstanding them.Reginald said with great caution, “Don’t worry, Master Collins. We’ll hold a family meeting after we get back to nominate Quinn as the matriarch of the Norrises.”“Very good. No one in South City City will dare touch the Norrises,” Chase said as he nodded. One sentence from him was enough for Reginald and his brothers to get emotional.A subordinate of the Coopers in charge of watching the doors came over and said respectfully, “There are four people out there asking to see you, Mr. Collins. The one leading them is a man called Edward Wright.”“It’s them?” C
“Our CEO’s name is Chase Collins.”Sandy was slightly taken aback and glanced at Quinn in surprise. “Both of you lived together for quite a while. Didn’t he tell you that he's the CEO of La Fleur?”She said this clearly.Quinn’s mind began buzzing from Sandy’s words. She looked like she was in a daze as she stayed silent for a long time.It took her so long to realize this. Chase was Mr. Collins, the CEO of La Fleur. To think that she had tried every way she could to meet him before this.In the end, it was the man she had looked down on so many times who had saved her by approving the two billion investment.Quinn suddenly remembered something, and she turned pale from the memory.Chase had told her before that he was the CEO of La Fleur.However, both she and Elaine did not believe him. They even made fun of him for making such a brag.Quinn suddenly felt horrible about this. She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground could just swallow her.When Sandy saw her lookin
The Harrigans immediately got every subordinate working under them to return to the residence and protect the Harrigans. They were afraid of Chase barging in again.All of the Harrigans had gathered in the meeting room.A woman burst out asking, “John, Master Collins wants us to be at Mount General Cemetery in three days to kneel to the dead and ask for their forgiveness. What… What should we do now?”She was John’s younger sister, the fifth in the family. Her name was Wendy Harrigan.Every member of the Harrigan family was looking fearfully at John.Someone helped John up, and he stared back at them with a swollen face as he said, “Contact the Supreme Elder immediately. Make a request for him to return to the country and help the Harrigans.“That little bastard will be dead once the Supreme Elder returns. The Coopers and every other family on their side will all die!"John said this savagely with a crazed look on his face.Someone asked cautiously, “Mr. John, what… if the Supr
Besides him, there were eight other people next to him. They were all martial monarchs who had strong and long-lasting auras. They were midway martial arts overlords.Such powerful people were considered top-notch fighters even in the Secret Sect. After all, only a handful of people in the martial domain had martial arts monarchs."I'll never surrender!" Quinn's pretty face was pale. She ran with all her might, and her skirt had turned bright red."If I'm right, that woman has something valuable on her.""Hahaha! Consider this my lucky day!"All of the martial artists shouted excitedly with lust in their eyes.It happened suddenly. Three flying daggers flew by and shot through the throats of three martial artists. They died horrible deaths instantly."Who is that?!""He's dead!"The rest of the martial artists were enraged.Chase was seen standing in the air at the next moment with a golden sword in his hand. Both his hands were behind his back as he stared coolly at the grou
He could not accept this! How could he?! The Secret Sect was supposed to be the official sect of Bactria! It was supposed to be a holy land for martial arts!"Tell me, where's the real location of the Secret Sect?" Chase crouched and stared calmly at Huck while asking.Huck clenched his teeth. "You're dead, you little bastard. How dare you offend the Secret Sect?! My father won't let you get away with this!""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow.He raised his hand and gave Huck a hard slap. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the air, and Huck passed out right away. Chase would never be on the same side of the Secret Sect. He was not afraid of them either.His physique had long surpassed the standard of a martial monarch."Traveling millions of miles has not been a waste." Chase got up and turned to walk out of the restaurant."Hey, friend, wait a minute!" A middle-aged man blocked Chase's way."What do you want?" Chase frowned while asking."You've misunderstood me, young friend.
"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!" Chase w
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.
