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
“Sir, I’ll get my men to conduct a search now,” Sam replied.Julia immediately asked Chase the moment he returned to his room, “Chase, why isn’t Myra awake yet?Scarlet looked at Chase too.Chase said grimly, “Myra has exhausted her body all these years, and she’s on the brink of death. It'll be difficult to wake her up, and she won’t last long in this condition.”“What?”Julia almost passed out from his answer.Scarlet’s eyes reddened as she said, “Isn’t there any way of saving her?”“There is, but I need time. I’ll need you and Miss Julia to focus on taking care of Myra while I handle this,” Chase said.“Alright!”Scarlet took a deep breath and said, “No one can touch her while I’m alive!”Sam called Chase after half an hour, “Sir, we’ve almost gotten all the medical herbs you requested. We're currently missing two main herbs, which are the Centennial Blood Root and the Sky Spirit Flower.”“Aren't any of them found in the entire South River City?” Chase frowned.The Cente
Inside a dim and damp room, Quinn slowly woke up and found that her limbs were tied. Her mouth was gagged as well.She smiled bitterly and suddenly realized what was happening. It was not the first time she had experienced something like this.All she remembered was planning to head to Mount General Cemetery to meet Little Rocky. She had just gotten to her underground garage when someone covered her mouth from behind and she passed out.Quinn struggled for a while. She looked around her using the rays of light shining in from outside.There was someone next to her in the exact same situation.The look on Quinn’s face changed. She recognized that person. It was Bianca.What was Bianca doing here?Quinn was bewildered but made some sounds with her mouth while trying to move her body. She tried to wake Bianca up.Unfortunately, she was bound too tight and could not move at all.She got anxious and fell heavily to the ground.It was the sound of her falling hard that woke Bianca
“Didn’t I tell you before? Mr. Collins is a really powerful fighter. I was asking him for a lesson but I sprained my ankle. He was just carrying me back to my room because I was hurt. There was nothing else about it.“I wanted to explain things to you, but you turned and ran away before I could," Bianca said seriously.She paused before bursting out, “Quinn, I think you like Mr. Collins. How did you end up this way?”“I… I don’t like him at all. I already have someone else,” Quinn’s expression changed as she stammered.“Who is it? Tell me about him.” Bianca suddenly got interested.Quinn hesitated before saying slowly, “T-The person I like is Master Collins…”She said this and stopped herself.Bianca’s eyes widened as she gave Quinn a very strange look. She looked like she wanted to laugh but was trying her best to hold it back.Quinn decided to tell Bianca everything. “I wanted to tell you this for quite a while, Bianca. I grew up in an orphanage, and there was a little boy th
Bianca was prepared to die the moment Atlas took the shot.However, Quinn suddenly exclaimed from behind her.Bianca quickly opened her eyes and could not believe what was happening right in front of her.A green light had formed a shield in front of her like a force field. It blocked the bullet mid-air and stopped it from moving any further.The bullet fell to the ground, and the green shield in front of Bianca vanished.A loud crack was heard coming from her wrist.Bianca looked down and saw that the bracelet on her wrist had made that loud cracking sound. One of the six beads had exploded.“This is my birthday present from Mr. Collins!”Bianca was happy and surprised.She did not expect the bracelet Chase gave her to save her life at that crucial moment.Atlas was shocked by what he saw. He said in disbelief, “How is that possible? No, I don’t believe this!”He roared and continued pulling the trigger at Bianca. He made another two shots.When the first bullet was about
Quinn glanced at Bianca and noticed her carefully caressing the remaining three beads like the bracelet was a great treasure she had just discovered.She smiled bitterly, and her tears could not stop falling.She said inwardly, 'Sorry, Chase… This is all my fault, Little Rocky…'She could not wait to see Chase.It was because she wanted to make up for her mistakes……It was five in the afternoon when a plane disembarking from South River City safely landed at the Rochester Airport.Chase walked out of the plane alone and mumbled, “Am I finally here at Rochester…”His phone rang. The call was from Scarlet.“Mr. Collins, I have a distant relative at Rochester. She’s my cousin. Her name is Elena Warrington. I’ve informed her to wait for you at Gate 3 of the airport.“You can ask her anything you want to know about Rochester. I’ve already told her about you.”“Alright.”Chase hung up and headed toward Gate 3.A high-profile red Porsche 911 was parked at the side of the road ou
Kevin’s face turned red as he barked, “What the hell are you talking about?”He wanted to humiliate Chase, but Chase turned out to be even meaner than he was. Chase had called him a doofus and was even advising Elena to dump him. How could Kevin not lose his temper?Elena quickly smoothed things over. “That’s enough. Stop arguing.”She looked at Chase coldly and said, “My cousin said you’re here in Rochester for the auction tomorrow, am I right?”“That’s right,” Chase nodded and replied.According to Scarlet’s news, the Sky Spirit Flower and Centennial Blood Root would be auctioned off at this auction in Rochester.“Do you think you can attend the auction?” Kevin immediately sniggered and said, “I’ll be honest with you. You won’t be able to attend it because only those with an invitation will be able to take part in the auction.”“Invitation?” Chase frowned. Scarlet did not tell him about this.Kevin looked gleeful when he saw the look on Chase’s face. “I happen to have an invi
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.
