“How dare you talk big even in the face of death?!” Shauna scoffed and took a step forward. “Kid, are you the one who killed my son, Huey?”“You’re right. I killed that good-for-nothing,” Chase replied indifferently.Shauna was so furious that she wanted to chop him into pieces. “Do you even know who I am? How dare you kill my son?”“Listen up, she’s my ex-wife and she’s known as Black Widow in the Golden Triangle,” John announced proudly.“What? Black Widow?” Sam’s expression changed.He then quickly introduced her to Chase, “Sir, Black Widow is one of the top drug lords in the Golden Triangle. Her drug empire is in all corners of the world, and I heard that her brother is one of the biggest warlords, known as General Tuckman. "He even has an army of over 10,000 soldiers!”Sean stepped forward with a pleased smile on his face. “Well, it seems that you’re pretty well-informed. You even know who I am.”“You’re General Tuckman?”Sam's heart sank.Sean looked at Sam’s people in
At that moment, Chase and the others fell into a life-and-death struggle.Sam’s expression changed as he started blaming himself. If he had found out about the Harrigans and Shauna’s relationship, he would not have led Chase into this dangerous situation.He took a deep breath and decided that he would protect Chase even if he would die.When he noticed that Chase was not speaking, John was even more pleased with himself. “Hey, I’ll give you a chance now. As long as you’re willing to kneel, I can spare your corpse.”Shauna and Sean smirked coldly. How would they let Chase die so easily? Of course, they would humiliate and torture him before sending him to hell.Suddenly, Chase burst into laughter.“Kid, what are you laughing at?” John’s face fell.As Chase shook his head, he said, “I’m laughing at you for underestimating me. Otherwise, how could you stand so close to me?”After he said that, Sean seemed to remember something and roared urgently, “Oh no, retreat!”However, it w
When he opened his eyes, what he saw shocked him beyond relief.Shell after shell crashed into his base from afar. His people were getting blown up, killed, and even burned alive.Sean also saw that the snipers he had stationed to lay ambush had collapsed one after another after getting shot in the head.After he took another look, Chase, Sam, and others were completely isolated from the range of damage.“What’s happening?!"Sean took a few steps back and all of a sudden, his expression changing drastically. “Shit! They have tricks up their sleeves!”Shauna opened her eyes, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.In the next second, they saw what made their skin crawl.Armed helicopters!Over a dozen armed helicopters were flying over to them from afar.Countless rocket missiles fell from above, inflicting significant damage upon Sean’s forces.Some of the Harrigans even lost their lives under this aerial onslaught.The ground shook like an earthquake.
“You want to kill my brother, and now you’re calling it a misunderstanding?”A cold voice resonated through Mount General Cemetery, freezing the air around them.In the next second, they saw a woman walking out slowly. She was in military uniform with her rank displayed on her shoulders. She was tall and slim, exuding a dignified aura.A major general!Everyone’s eyes contracted instantly.The woman only looked as if she was in her 20s, but she was already a major general!It was her!When Chase saw the woman’s face, he was stunned.It was Myra.However, he immediately understood.When he got into contact with Myra before, he knew that Myra had a lot of soldiers as her subordinates.He figured that she might have a military background. However, he did not think that she was a major general.When Sean heard what Myra said, he was a little taken aback and blurted out, “General, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Have I ever wanted to kill your brother?”He just wanted to
At this moment, the longing that he had been suppressing in his heart finally erupted.Even if Chase was usually steadfast and reserved, his eyes were also turning red now. It was as if he had gone back to being the young boy who always cried and needed protection.He looked at Myra’s tear-stained face and walked over to hug her. “Myra!”“Rocky.”Myra held him tightly as if he would disappear in the next second.It had been 12 years!No one knew how hard she worked the past 12 years just for this day.The scene was silent.Everyone was looking at the two people embracing in bewilderment, the shock on their faces persistent.Julia was the only one who was crying in excitement. There was nothing happier than these two reuniting.Suddenly, a sharp gunshot broke the silence.It turned out that Sean had fired a shot at Chase and Myra when everyone was not paying attention.In that instant, the bullet flew toward Myra’s back at lightning speed.Sean’s eyes were filled with fierc
“Send them to hell,” Chase said flatly.After he said that, everyone fell to their knees and begged for their lives.“No, don’t kill me!”“Please spare me! I don’t want to die!”All their foreheads were bleeding from banging them on the ground, their faces brimming with terror and the desire to live.John was so scared that he even lost control of his bladder. He grabbed Chase’s leg and roared hysterically, “Chase, don’t kill me. I know we were in the wrong! We were just following the Supreme Elder’s orders back then. Please forgive us and let bygones be bygones.”Right now, his entire body was shaking. He did not look like the head of a family at all.Everyone was scared of death, including him.In reality, those like John who often considered themselves superior were the most afraid of death.It was because they were unwilling to let go of everything, including their wealth and power.“You were in the wrong?”Chase kicked John away after seeing how disgraced he was. Then,
Myra sat next to Chase and placed her head on his shoulder. Meanwhile, she told Chase about her experience in the past years.“Is Alexander good to you?” Chase listened to her silently, occasionally asking questions.“He was very kind to me and regarded me as his child. Moreover, he also taught me military strategies and combat since I was young. However, those loved by God die young. He died from sickness half a month ago…” Myra said sadly.“Died from sickness?” Chase was stunned when he heard that.Myra nodded and continued, “After he died, I came to South River City so that I could find the opportunity to seek revenge for those who died in the fire. Then, I started noticing you…”As the two were chatting, Chase noticed Myra’s face turning pale and her body shaking slightly.“Myra, have you not recovered yet?”Chase's heart sank.Myra suffered from a strange illness when she was young. Occasionally, she would experience a terrifying chill that would torture her.Gideon hired
Chase carried Myra and turned to Scarlet. “Hurry, take me to Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1.”“What are you trying to do?” Scarlet asked.“If you want to save Myra, you’ll do as you’re told,” Chase urged.Scarlet’s expression changed, and she quickly led Chase and Julia into the car.When they got back to the villa, Chase carried Myra to the third floor. Then, he said to Scarlet, who was about to follow them into the bedroom. “Watch the door. Don’t let anyone in without my permission.”Inside the room, Chase placed Myra on the bed. As he felt Myra's soft breathing, he murmured, “Myra, I won’t let you die. No one can separate us!”In the next second, he removed his shirt, displaying his scars.If others saw this scene, they would be beyond shocked.Chase was covered in scars, and it looked as if he had centipedes all over him.He already had these scars since he was young. They remained even after so many years of recuperation.Chase vibrated his energy and blood. Then, his b
Luis was utterly stunned upon hearing Chase's words. He had never imagined Chase's appetite would be so insatiable. He wanted the entirety of the Hawkins family's assets!"Mr. Collins, pardon me for being frank, but if it's money you want, the Hawkinses are not lacking in that. I can offer you five times the amount you desire," Luis said, attempting to negotiate.Chase chuckled. "Mr. Luis, you've misunderstood. Money means nothing to me." He then added while shaking his head, "I'm after more than just your resources. What truly interests me is the Hawkinses' forging techniques. Surrender those, and I might spare your life.""The forging techniques?!" Luis's eyes widened with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Hawkinses' ancestral rules strictly forbid passing those techniques to outsiders. We can only offer you finished products!"The forging techniques were a legacy painstakingly developed by generations of the Hawkinses' forebears. They were the family's lifeblo
"Young man—no, Mr. Collins—please, let's talk this through. There's no need for violence," Luis pleaded. His dignity as the head of the Hawkins family had all but vanished. The Hawkinses had been a cornerstone of Bactria, influencing its entire power structure. Now, however, Luis saw that everything could change with Chase. He needed to bring Chase to their side no matter what it took.After all, Chase's talent was extraordinary, and his potential for growth was limitless. If the Hawkinses could recruit him, they would gain a formidable martial arts saint. They could elevate their standing to unprecedented heights.Luis said, his face stretching into a fawning smile, "Mr. Collins, on behalf of the Hawkinses, I'm willing to compensate you with any resources you need. I can even offer you an entire mine to aid your refining pursuits.""You think I need your resources?" Chase scoffed, his tone dripping with mockery. "And from the Hawkinses? I doubt you can provide anything worthwhile
"What… What's happening? Why are these swords flying on their own? Such powerful sword energy! Are these... black iron swords?!"Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with shock. The event unfolded so abruptly that none of the Hawkinses' guards could react in time.In an instant, countless black iron swords tore through the air, forming a dense cloud that surged toward the guards like a tidal wave."This is bad!" Luis roared in fury. "Block them!"A massive surge of energy exploded from him, forming a white fist aura that smashed into the incoming sword energy."Hmph! A mere insect of a martial arts saint dares to intercept my black iron swords? You people are courting death!" Chase sneered.With a wave of his right hand, the swarm of black iron swords merged into a single massive blade that slashed down toward Luis.A terrifying sword light split the air. Luis hastily countered with a punch, but it was not enough to escape unscathed. A gruesome gash tore across his chest, blood
"Reckless fools," Chase muttered coldly.He raised his hand and struck out, unleashing a golden palm strike that swept through the air like a tidal wave, enveloping a radius of dozens of feet. Everything in its path was utterly destroyed.The golden imprint descended, shattering every weapon it touched. Bones snapped, flesh tore, and blood splattered in all directions. The power of a single strike crushed everything in its wake."Run for your lives!""No…""Help me!"Agonized screams echoed through the air as bodies fell lifelessly to the ground.Luis' face turned ashen at the sight. He involuntarily stepped back while trembling. "You… Who are you?!"Chase did not bother to respond. Without sparing Luis another glance, he strode toward the Hawkinses' grand estate.It was a sprawling complex of magnificent architecture that exuded opulence and grandeur.Inside, the family members were already alerted to the attack. They had gathered in the main hall, and they whispered nervous
Despite his exhaustion, Zion pressed on as he was convinced that Chase would eventually falter."Seventh Form!" he roared, unleashing a blade strike that seemed to split the heavens and earth.Yet even as the towering blade descended, Chase remained unmoved. With hands clasped behind his back, he stood still and made no effort to dodge or block the attack.An arm fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.Zion's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he stared at the scene. His most powerful strike had severed an arm, but it was not Chase's."T-This can't be… H-How is this possible?" he stammered. Zion looked lost, unable to accept the reality before him."It doesn't make sense! How could you withstand my blade? This defies logic!" he muttered, his voice tinged with confusion and despair."You're just too weak," Chase replied calmly while casting a cold glance at Zion.Flicking his finger, Chase sent a pill into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly, replenishing his deple
In an instant, a group of guards rushed forward to help the elderly man to his feet."Sir, are you all right?" they asked with concern.The old man clutched his swollen face while coughing up blood. His complexion was pale, and his breathing had turned weak. "This man's strength is extraordinary—likely at the late stage of the martial arts saint level. We can't defeat him. Summon the Council of Elders immediately!""Yes, sir!" The guards promptly obeyed and withdrew."You little brat! How dare you launch a sneak attack?!" Zion Hawkins, the second son of the Hawkinses, spat with venom as he glared at Chase."Save your words. If you hate me that much, then come at me," Chase replied indifferently.Zion, a mid-stage martial arts saint, stood flanked by more than ten early-stage martial arts saints and another dozen at mid-stage.Such a force could dominate most of Bactria, but to Chase, it was laughable at best."Arrogant fool! Prepare to die!""Raging Blade, Ninth Form!" Zion ro
Chase strolled toward the massive stone monument, his gaze fixed on the four bold words carved into it. "The Hawkinses' Secret Sect? Perhaps today is the day this name vanishes.""Hmm?" Chase suddenly paused, sensing two powerful auras converging from different directions."As expected of the Secret Sect—full of hidden talents," he muttered while shaking his head lightly. He did not appear surprised; he had already anticipated this scenario before arriving.The ground trembled violently, followed by a chorus of furious roars echoing through the air.From deep within Hawkins Residence, Chase sensed a massive number of disciples pouring out from a grand hall. These disciples, all of them martial arts legends or higher, radiated intense killing intent.Together, they were a formidable force capable of annihilating smaller sects and clans. Yet even their combined might could not withstand a single punch from Chase. Within moments, their resistance crumbled, leaving corpses strewn acro
At the entrance to Hawkins Residence stood a massive green stone monument engraved with four bold words—'The Hawkinses' Secret Sect'."The Hawkins family, the Secret Sect…" Chase murmured, narrowing his eyes as a faint, playful smile crossed his lips. Without hesitation, he stepped toward Hawkins Residence.The gates of Hawkins Residence were firmly locked, but to Chase, they were no obstacle. To him, it was as though the entire place was unguarded."Who dares trespass in the restricted grounds of the Hawkins family?!" The estate was heavily guarded, with patrols stationed at every corner. High vigilance was practiced here. Yet such defenses were meaningless to Chase. He moved through the compound as if walking through air, completely unimpeded.Suddenly, a massive, oppressive force descended, enveloping the entire Hawkins Residence in an aura of suffocating intensity. It was so overwhelming that even seasoned warriors shuddered instinctively.Chase halted mid-step, his gaze shi
"Hmm?" Chase's brows furrowed slightly."Did someone manage to escape?"His gaze sharpened, and his aura suddenly retracted as he transformed into a streak of light. He darted in a specific direction at an astonishing speed."Brat! Don't think you can be so arrogant! You won't escape. Your death is certain!""I'm an elder of the Secret Sect's Enforcement Hall!""Do you know what you're doing? Killing me will bring severe punishment upon you!""Our sect master is in seclusion, attempting a breakthrough to the Body Refining state. If you can't deal with us quickly, your end is inevitable once he emerges!"The furious shouts came from behind. Chase smirked coldly, his voice tinged with disdain. "An elder of the Secret Sect? Perfect. Today, I'll send you off to accompany your sect master."He did not pause to acknowledge their words and only focused on the task ahead. Behind him, the sound of explosions echoed relentlessly."This is bad!""Damn it! How is this kid still holding o
