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?
“Besides, the Quaids will be having an auction very soon, and I need to bring my men over to watch over the event. Once it’s over, we’ll find another opportunity to kill him.”Dean looked at Jacob like he was stupid. If not for the fact that Jacob was a son of the Quaids, he would have slapped him good.Jacob finally looked happy when he heard that. He laughed viciously. “Alright. I’ll make sure to torture him once the auction is over.”“There’s also that bitch, Quinn. I want her under me in bed. I’ll make sure to enjoy her until I’m completely done with her.” There was excitement in his eyes. He could not wait for it.Dean shook his head at this.What a stupid man. Jacob was limited to such thoughts, and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything big.…Sovereign Hotel was one of the top five-star hotels in South River City. Many powerful and respected people frequented this hotel because this was one of the Quaids' assets.Today, the Quaids were auctioning a piece of
A middle-aged man wearing a suit was watching the surveillance and saw Chase eating. Then, he turned his head to ask Jacob, “Is that the guy who beat you up?”That was the third son of the Quaid family, Tim Quaid. He was also the person in charge of the auction.“Yes, Uncle Tim!” Jacob gritted his teeth as he spat out the words with hatred.“That kid is so bold. How dare he beat you up and pig out in our territory?”Tim laughed angrily.Dean quickly said, “Mr. Tim, I’ll get someone to teach that kid a lesson.”“No need.”Tim shook his head and continued, “The auction is important, so we need to keep an eye on things. You must pay close attention to anyone who looks suspicious.”“Uncle Tim, everyone knows we’re hosting the auction. Do you think anyone will dare to come cause a scene?” Jacob asked subconsciously.“You fool, what do you know?!” Tim scolded him before adding, “The auction is just a bait.”Bait?Both Jacob and Dean were stunned.As he looked into their eyes, Tim
The female Poison Dragon stood on the main viewing platform, utterly stunned.Although she had already felt a bad premonition the moment Chase seized the momentum from the Lightning Dragon King, she still could not accept it when that premonition became reality.The Lightning Dragon King—once the embodiment of invincibility in her mind—could not even land a single hit on this unknown human. It shattered everything she thought she knew about the strongest combatants.Could this nobody actually be a visitor from the upper realm? However, did they not say he was from Earth, a place completely barren of spiritual energy?Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. What if this guy actually ended up taking the world master's title?If that happened, it would be a catastrophe for the dragons.She knew, deep down, just how much wrong they had done over the years. Calling it 'corruption' and 'tyranny' would have been putting it mildly.If a reckoning truly came, most of them would not b
As for the last Water Dragon, Lisa, she was completely overshadowed. No one even spared her a glance.Lisa herself had no time to care about how others viewed her. She knew her own strength—or lack thereof. As a small fry, she clearly understood her limits.She absolutely could not defend herself when facing the Lightning Dragon King's strongest attacks. She had to rely on Chase and the others.Hence, she merely revealed her true form, then deployed her vital energy shield and defensive treasures. After that, she huddled behind the others, trembling with fear.After a long charge-up, the Lightning Dragon King launched his attack. Electricity sparked in his eyes, and divine thunder rumbled in his mouth."Die!" he bellowed.With that thunderous roar echoing through the sky, countless thunder balls rained down like hail toward Chase and the others. Electric light flashed, and thunder boomed across the arena. Most spectators could no longer see or hear clearly.The scene was so inte
The Lightning Dragon King knew he could not let Chase go on like this. He immediately activated Electric Eyes.Spheres of lightning circled around him, and bolts of electricity flickered fiercely. The thunder, which had previously faded, now roared once again throughout the arena.This time, the lightning was no longer in the sky; it surged entirely around the Lightning Dragon King himself. His momentum returned in an instant."Well done, Lightning Dragon King!""He's truly worthy of being the pride of our clan!""He's the glory of the Lightning Dragon bloodline! The other branches should stop trying to take credit. The Water, Fire, and Poison martyr spirits were all beaten like dogs earlier. It's now up to our Lightning Dragon King to reclaim our dignity!""Oh please, didn't the Lightning Dragon martyr spirits also get defeated by this guy? The Lightning Dragon King is strong because he's strong, not because of you nobodies in the Lightning Dragon line.""Exactly! When we lose,
Although Lisa was a dragon herself, she had long suffered under the oppression of the Poison Dragon branch. The Lightning Dragon King had never made any effort to investigate or deliver justice.She had come to see the true nature of the dragons for what it was because of this. They were just a bunch of selfish tyrants carving out their own kingdoms by relying on brute strength. Any illusion of nobility had long since crumbled.After witnessing Chase step up for her, her admiration for humans only deepened. Now, she felt nothing but shame as she listened to the audience spew insults, threats, and jeers at Chase. She was ashamed to be one of them.The Lightning Dragon King watched as the audience reacted to his dramatic entrance. He was reminded of his own noble identity and felt extremely satisfied.If Chase's influence was allowed to grow any further, his chances of retaining his role as the world master would shrink by the day.Now, the tide had halted. He decided to strike whil
Yet Chase had actually passed four levels in just one day. His strength was so formidable that it almost defied belief."Where is he from? Which sect does he belong to? Why have I never heard of him before?" Carla frowned and asked."He came from Earth. Apparently, he's here to look for his sisters," Sierra replied.Though she was not powerful herself, the Evil Shadow Sect excelled in mind and soul techniques. They were experts when it came to tracking and gathering intelligence. She had managed to dig up quite a bit of information."Earth? That trashy place? Its power level has always lagged behind the nether realm. How could a top-tier cultivator suddenly emerge from there? And what kind of excuse is 'looking for his sisters'? Unless…"Carla suddenly thought of something."Is there something special about his sisters? The only ones who need special women are from the Nefarious Deity Sect. They're good at corpse refinement and often need bodies with rare constitutions. Besides,
Sierra was grounded and reliable, wholly loyal to Carla. That alone secured her position as Carla's trusted aide.When Carla came to the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, she brought only Sierra along. That was enough to show the extent of her trust."Yes, no one knows when she got involved with him. Master, I've said it before. Willow has never been pure-hearted. And now, this incident clearly shows it was premeditated," Sierra said.She had always known that she was originally the first pick to serve as Carla's double. When Willow took that spot, Sierra developed a strong dislike for her. They often clashed, with neither of them backing down.Willow, however, always seemed to be one step ahead in terms of being cunning. She had built her own circle of loyal followers without Sierra ever noticing.Carla was fully aware that Sierra could not outmatch Willow, but that only proved Sierra was better suited for tasks that required absolute secrecy and without the risk of anything leaking.
"Yes, Master. That mysterious young man's name is Chase Collins. These are our recordings of him."Clint transmitted all of Chase's information to Fallon.Fallon opened a random recording. The image was of Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar fighting Chase. He did not pay much attention in the beginning. However, Fallon frowned again at the end of the recording."This man is really something."He commented as he watched Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar escape from defeat."Did you say the women's names were Olivia Green and Hannah Jones? What do they look like?" Fallon remembered why Chase was here and asked the question.Clint immediately showed him their images."They're really beautiful." Fallon's eyes brightened at the sight of adorably pretty Olivia in a clean, white dress and the dashing Hannah. A lustful fire burned inside him."Where are they now?" he quickly asked."The women have been brought to the respective manors of both Supreme Elders." Clint took one look at Fallo
Fallon and Clara had passed the sixth level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore. They had brought along their trusted subordinates just to get the Dark and Light Emeralds.All they told their subordinates was to defeat the locals and monsters to get good-quality Dark and Light Emeralds, but they kept the truth about the Dark and Light Divine Pearls to themselves. They also kept their relationship a secret.Due to the gap in abilities, their subordinates were stuck with continuing their duties on the sixth level.After returning from the seventh level, they went to their respective bases after getting intimate.Fallon gave a cough to catch the attention of his first disciple, Clint Linman, who was training at the base."Master! Have you found out what happened to the sect?"Clint had been worried after finding out the news of several of their elders' sudden deaths via a messaging talisman. At the same time, he felt happy about it. Their deaths meant vacancies for their positions and
As Chase had unlimited resources of vital energy, a small injury was nothing to him. He learned many tricks in close combat as the fighting time prolonged.The Lightning Dragon martyr spirits had no intelligence and could only repeat fighting modes and tactics.It was not long before Chase spotted their weakness, and things in the arena took a turn.The elemental dragons were initially on the losing end, but the fight soon came to a draw, and the elemental dragons eventually had the upper hand. Huge damage was caused to the martyr spirits when the poison elemental dragon managed to bite into one of them.The martyr spirits were eventually defeated. In the end, they vanished.Chase stared at the arena in the bright, sunny weather as he floated in mid-air. He stared right at Lightning Dragon, the world master."We won?"Down below, Lisa felt like she was dreaming. She remembered the fights in the Dragon Clan Trial usually lasted several days and nights. The first three rounds had
