Sam lowered his head at Chase and said, “I’m so sorry to have given you trouble. This was my fault, and I apologize for this.”Edward was standing next to Chase and thought that Sam was lowering his head to him. He quickly waved his hands agitatedly and said, “You’re much too kind, sir. We’re very grateful that you’re able to do this for us.”He said this with excitement in his eyes.What an honor it was that the Kingpin was apologizing to him.Sam did not even look at him. He turned to Henry and Riley and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that no one ever gives you trouble again.”Henry and Riley were still in a daze after what just happened. They nodded blankly.“Someone please help me throw this fellow out of here. He's no longer the general manager of Emgrand Group from this day onward,” Sam said as he pointed at Daniel.Soon, Daniel was flung out to the road like a dead dog.Sam gave some thought to this and placed a purple and gold card on the table. He said to Chase, “T
Edward sniggered. “What else could the reason be? Do you think it’s because of you?”Chase replied seriously, “Of course, it’s because of me. He’s my subordinate.”Edward was taken aback to hear that. Even Henry and the others were astonished.“What did you just say?” Edward thought he had heard wrong. He scratched his ear and asked, “Did you just say that the Kingpin is your subordinate?”“Yes, I did.” Chase nodded.“Pfft!”Edward burst out laughing. “Oh no, I can’t take it anymore. Hahaha! This is too funny.”“Uncle Henry, Riley, did you hear that? He actually claims that the Kingpin is his subordinate. I’ve seen people exaggerate, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone go to such an extent.”Edward clutched his stomach and laughed until he was bent over. He might just die from laughing until he was out of breath.Even Laura was laughing. “Ignorant thing. You really know how to blow your own horn. If the Kingpin was your subordinate, I'd be the godmother of the world's
Chase immediately headed to the nearest shop to get some candles and flowers.It had been a full 12 years since the fire at the orphanage and the deaths of the orphanage director and other orphans.Half an hour later in the middle of the cemetery of General Hills Cemetery Zone B, there was only dead silence. It was a lonely atmosphere. A young woman was kneeling in front of a grave while sobbing. “Grandpa Gideon, it’s your death anniversary today. I’m here to see all of you again.”There were seven candles in front of her.“I’m sorry that I’m useless. I couldn’t find Little Rocky or my other six sisters. I couldn’t even avenge all of you.“I hate the Quaids. They destroyed everything and killed all of you. There was never a moment when I didn't think about revenge in the past 12 years, but I really have no idea how to do it.“Grandpa Gideon, the Quaids are auctioning the piece of emerald pendant you were helping Little Rocky safeguard. Don’t worry, I won’t allow the emerald penda
Elaine was inside the car parked at the foot of General Hills Cemetery where the town was. She kept checking the time and looking out once in a while.Not long after, Quinn got into the car.“Are you alright, Miss Norris? Why are your eyes so red?” Elaine could not help asking.“I’m fine.”Quinn rubbed her eyes quickly and forced a smile. “I think sand might have gotten into my eyes.”She changed the topic. “By the way, when will the Quaids’ auction start?”“In less than half an hour,” Elaine quickly updated.“Let’s go.”Quinn instructed.Elaine was about to start the car when they saw someone coming from afar.It was Chase.Elaine was the first one to call out, “Chase Collins.”Quinn was slightly surprised and quickly rolled down the window to stare at him coldly.Chase, who had just come down from General Hills Cemetery, turned to look. There was a look of exasperation on his face as he said, “My dear Miss Norris, South River may just be a city, but it’s not that small.
The sound rang clear, and there was a healthy bounce to her butt.Jacob was stunned, Quinn was stunned, and even Elaine, who was at the side, was stunned.Quinn felt like she had just been struck by lightning, and she began to tremble. Her neck turned red, and the color spread all the way to her ears.This jerk had… smacked her there in public!Shock, fury, humiliation, disbelief—all these emotions overwhelmed her at the same time.She held back the urge to tear Chase apart and forced a stiff smile on her face as she said, “That’s right. This is the reason you should give up on me, Jacob.”After that, she quietly reached out to pinch Chase on the arm. She twisted his flesh viciously in a 360-degree turn.Quinn used every ounce of strength she had, but Chase did not seem to be affected as he looked normal as usual.“No! I don’t believe this!”Jacob roared, and his face turned dark as he said, “Tell me, Quinn, how is this guy better than I am?”“Simple. I have huge junk, and I
Jacob thought Chase was scared, and he got even more confident. “That’s right. I bet you’re scared right now. Just kneel in front of me and let me enjoy Quinn for a few days, and I promise to let you off. What do you think?”“You’re despicable!”Quinn trembled with anger. Even then, she felt helpless.The Quaids were a wealthy and influential family in South River City. Their power was on par with the Norrises.Unfortunately, her grandfather was currently unconscious because of his ALS, and the Norrises began to deteriorate while the Quaids took over their position in the hierarchy.This was because Quinn did not dare cross any lines and offend Jacob despite being constantly harassed. Chase suddenly raised his hand and slapped Jacob.Half of Jacob’s cheek swelled, and a few of his teeth were broken as blood and teeth flew out of his mouth.“You bastard. You… You…” Jacob covered his cheek with his hand and stared at Chase with his mouth full of blood. He initially looked shocke
She was disappointed.“Miss Norris, we’d better leave right now,” Elaine insisted.Quinn looked at Chase and struggled with the decision. In the end, she decided, “No, I’m not leaving!”This started because of her, and she could not leave Chase behind so irresponsibly.Moreover, Chase was her fiancé in name.Ten minutes passed by very soon, and a deep voice could be heard coming from afar, “Who dares cross the Quaids?”An old man in a suit led dozens of bodyguards toward their direction ferociously. The old man looked distant and cold, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. It was scary to look him in the eye.He was the butler of the Quaids, Dean Quaid!There were dozens of bodyguards behind him. All of them had cold eyes and looked murderous.“Uncle Dean, this is the guy who hit me.” When Jacob saw someone coming to his rescue, he quickly pointed at Chase.“Hahaha, the Quaids are here, bastard. Let’s see how you’ll suffer now.“You’re pretty stupid to make me call and
“Yes, Mr. Quaid!”Dozens of bodyguards came attacking in an instant. They did not say anything else and immediately surrounded Chase.These people had style but no substance.Chase looked at them with disdain and was about to fight them.It was at that moment when a dainty voice shouted, “Stop what you’re doing!”The next moment, a woman in uniform approached them with seven or eight men who were wearing the same uniform.The woman in uniform strode forward with long, slender legs. She said with a cold and sharp expression, “How dare all of you fight like this in broad daylight?!”“Mandy.” Quinn looked delighted.The woman nodded at her before turning to Chase. The sight of him angered her. “I remember your name is Chase Collins. What’s wrong with you? Nothing good happens every time I bump into you.“When you were caught the last time, you were lectured for half the day for possessing illegal weapons. This time, you’re fighting in public. Are you itching for me to arrest you?
"Hmph! How dare third-rate garbage like you challenge the Martial Arts Alliance? You're asking for it!""To be honest, Quinn Norris is really pretty. She's as pretty as those socialites in Martial City!"A high-ranking group of the Martial Arts Alliance began discussing her openly."You're right. These women's flesh contains vast vitality. We'll be able to enhance the purity of our martial pathways if we get our hands on them.""Haha! Stop wasting time with them and let's get this done right now!" An old man in a black robe sniggered. He waved his arms around and suddenly swung dozens of punches in the air. These punches gathered into one strong gale of wind that gushed right at Quinn.Quinn was covered in blood. Her clothes were torn, and numerous wounds could be seen on her skin.Lyana's pretty face was pale. Blood dripped from her lips, but she clenched her teeth in determination as she refused to back down.Olivia was in slightly better condition than them. She had a thin sw
"I… I choose the latter!" Skrull's face turned pale. "You won't live to walk out of here if you kill me!"Chase shook his head. "You're not worth spending my time on. You should find someone better to tell all your secrets to."He flicked his fingers after that.A purple flame shot out and flew through Skrull's head. He was burned right on the spot. No traces of his body were left behind.This was a fight where the victor was apparent.Everyone was shocked into silence at the sight, and no one dared to make a sound. After all, anyone who could kill Skrull so easily was extremely powerful. Chase was too intimidating."You! Come here!" Chase suddenly grabbed someone.There was a rustle, and a martial artist hiding among the crowd was grabbed by the neck and dragged over."W-What do you want? I… I was wrong… Please have mercy!" The martial artist howled.Chase glanced at him. "I'm going to ask a few questions. Cooperate and I'll consider letting you live.""What do you want to k
"What's the problem with that?" Chase replied coldly."You…" The old man in gray clenched his teeth. He wanted to lunge forward at Chase for a fight to the death but realized both his legs had lost all feeling. He looked down.Chase had crushed his shoulder blade with one punch. It impacted all of his veins and caused his core to be destroyed. All his veins and bones were broken. He had become a maimed man."You're dead, you little bastard!" the man said viciously."Who are you?" Chase's eyes were cold."Hoho! I don't mind telling you. I'm the Enshrined of the Lacroix family, Skrull Lacroix!" Skrull was a mid-stage martial monarch and one of the martial monarchs belonging to the martial domain."The Lacroix family?" Chase frowned."They won't let you get away with this!" Skrull roared viciously. "The patriarch is a martial deity. His wrath will darken the skies and boil the seas! Give yourself up if you know what's good for you and we'll consider sparing your life. Otherwise, a
Chase slammed his palm down on the shoulder of the old man in the gray robe. The man's bone broke instantly. His arm exploded, and his flesh flew everywhere. His blood rained down.The old man screamed in pain with a look of fear on his face."My arm… Damn it! My arm!" the old man screamed."What are you waiting for? Get him! I want him dead!"Two remaining martial monarchs snapped out of it and went attacking Chase at the same time."Nothing but party tricks." Chase shook his head and kicked out at them.Both men did not manage to dodge in time. They flew backward from Chase's kick. Cracking sounds could be heard coming from them as their bones broke inch by inch. They bled from all orifices and fell limp to the ground, howling in pain."Yikes…"The surrounding spectators were shocked to see that.It took one meeting, and three martial monarchs were slaughtered without hesitation."Who is he?!""That man is too powerful!""Even martial monarchs can't take his attack. Could
"How dare a mere absolute martial monarch dare offend me?" Chase burst out with a laugh. He slapped the young man, and he fell rolling to the ground.After that, Chase punched him and destroyed his core."No!" the young man screamed."Chase Collins!" "How dare you?!"The remaining people exclaimed, and three of them immediately lunged forward to attack Chase. They were all late-stage martial monarchs.Powerhouses of such cultivation levels were not considered very powerful in the martial domain, but in the common world, they were considered superpowers. Normal martial arts organizations were not their match.The three men joined forces and surrounded Chase. If it were any other martial artist, this was a dangerous situation, but Chase was not afraid."Get lost!" Chase roared. He channeled true energy within him, which shot out in the form of a huge airwave. It shot out with great power.Deafening explosions followed, and the three martial monarchs' attacks were vanquished ins
Chase's combat skills were too sharp. He could sense the difference immediately and did not hesitate to initiate the attack. He made sure to go for the kill."Too bad." Chase shook his head and sighed. After that, he turned his gaze toward a forest not far away.He could sense a few hidden auras in that direction. Powerful figures seemed to be hiding in the dark, watching him.Chase's consciousness instantly sensed that group of people. He continued moving forward and headed straight to where they were.Seven figures immediately leaped out from the forest. All of them had weapons in their hands as they surrounded Chase."Did you kill Black Five?"All of them were in green shirts and had powerful auras. It was obvious that they came from the same organization. They were prepared to fight side-by-side and worked well together."Who's Black Five?" Chase wondered."Are you playing dumb?"One of them grunted coldly and said, "Are you trying to deny what you did after killing him in
Even the normal sword techniques Chase used were equivalent to a second or third-stage martial monarch's attack. There was no way a mere martial monarch could stop his attack.It did not matter if he was a martial monarch. This was considered an opportunity now that Chase was facing the situation.The look in his eyes burned with determination.A purplish-red flash glinted in his eye. He channeled the blood and energy in his body and tuned his true energy to peak performance. He moved both his palms and shot out hundreds of shadow fragments from them. The explosion was deafening to the ear.Every palm attack contained incredible power as they exploded in the air, causing the space to collapse. It swallowed the masked man in black.Thunderous explosions were heard everywhere.Chase's attack had the man cornered. Millions of incoming punches rendered him helpless to fight back, and nothing he did helped him.After a while, the punches stopped and vanished.Chase stood tall where
"A martial monarch can create huge waves with just a flip of a hand. They can do anything and are indestructible."Chase mumbled, "But… What does that have anything to do with me?" His voice was extremely cold. It was chilling.Chase had once looked forward to becoming an unbeatable powerhouse who took the world by storm, but reality was cold and cruel."Haha! Scared now, aren't you?" The masked man in the black robe began laughing tauntingly at him. "Get lost if you're scared or you'll end up losing your life.""You're wrong." Chase shook his head. "You're nothing but garbage to me. You're no better than an ant.""Still acting stubborn when you're about to die, huh?" The man was enraged.He vanished the next instant. His abilities were strange and unpredictable. Chase was unable to grasp his next move.It happened all of a sudden.The man attacked Chase from the back. He clawed at Chase from behind, his nails digging deep into Chase's skin. Blood gushed out from the wounds."
Not long after, Chase raised his hand to swing down his sword.Wyman could only watch as the sharp blade came down at him. His chest tightened. He could feel the threat of death.Just then, something happened to change this.A grayish-white figure suddenly lunged forward from a dark corner with a saber that clashed with the sword swinging down.Both weapons collided, and sparks flew with a loud clang.The old man in gray grunted as his arms tremored from the impact. His hand tore open, and blood splattered.Chase reacted while the old man was distracted. He moved his wrists and swung the sword around. It moved in a curved trajectory, slitting Wyman across the throat. Hot liquid gushed out from it.Wyman's eyes widened with disbelief. Everything happened too fast. He had been defeated in a blink of an eye. Wyman had been absolutely defeated.How did that happen?Chase was only a martial arts overlord. How did he burst out with such terrifying power?"You…" Wyman grabbed his ne
