Chapter 35

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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

    Tim started introducing the item, “The Quaid family came across this emerald pendant in a chance encounter. It was verified by Master Henderson, the famous fortune teller in Harbor Island. It can help to prolong one's lifespan. “My father has been wearing it for more than a decade. Look, he’s still hale and hearty, not looking his age at all. Its benefits are evident."After he said that, everyone’s eyes fell on the emerald pendant in his hand.For a moment, the hall was filled with whispers.There were doubts and exclamations of shock, but most of them declared bold words and expressed their determination to win.Chase stared at the emerald pendant with excitement on his face.This emerald pendant was indeed the one that the director had kept for him, so he could be sure.Tim was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction and immediately said, “The starting price of this emerald pendant is ten million, and each increment must not be less than 500 grand. Let’s begin!”As soon as

    This sudden exclamation silenced the originally heated atmosphere.At that moment, everyone went blank as they thought they had heard wrongly.Did that man just offer a dime for it?Who was so bold? How dare they stir trouble at the Quaid family’s auction!In an instant, countless eyes looked in the direction of the voice.Even Quinn was no exception.They saw a man wearing a bronze mask sitting not far away with his legs crossed. He was holding a cup of tea, gently swirling it in his hand as if he was not aware of the strange looks from everyone.“Where did you come from? How dare you go against the Quaid family?” Jacob immediately became furious.Tim narrowed his eyes and looked at the masked man with a gloomy expression. “Sir, do you dare repeat what you just said?”Instead of being angry, his heart was filled with infinite ecstasy.He thought to himself, ‘You finally couldn’t help but show up, orphan of Green Hills Orphanage!’“What's wrong? Is it too little?”Under the

    When Willow and Cyril saw Walter attack, they both thought he had acted too recklessly. As expected, alarms blared throughout the Worthingtons' ancestral home.Warning lights flashed wildly as the guards swarmed out of the compound like ants from a nest.Chase stared in disbelief.In the programming world, there was a popular principle known as the Duck Test. If it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, looked like a duck, and pecked like a duck, then it was probably a duck.This so-called ancestral home, aside from its exterior resembling a military base, had military-grade alert systems and personnel. By the duck principle, without a doubt, this was a military base."Is this ancestral house hiding some kind of secret? Why is the defense so tight?" Chase asked Cyril.Cyril was equally stunned by the scene. "My mentors just told me the Worthingtons' ancestral home is very important. I don't actually know what's inside… But now, it seems I underestimated how much it means to the

    In Walter's understanding, even among ape-type beasts, it was nearly impossible to move so effortlessly between high-rise buildings using only physical strength—let alone doing so with such speed, like Chase just did.Willow, being a practitioner focused on soul-based and spiritual techniques, had also trained her body somewhat recently. However, she was nowhere near Walter's level and definitely far below Chase's.When she sensed that Chase had surpassed her even while she was fully employing both her movement techniques and vital energy without using any vital energy at all, she went numb inside."Chase is just a genius. I can't compare…" she said to comfort herself.In the end, even with her top-tier body movement techniques, she arrived at Cyril's location more than ten minutes later than Chase. Seeing everyone already waiting on her, she felt slightly embarrassed."Sorry, I was too slow.""It's fine. We were just taking a break anyway. What's ten minutes?" Chase waved it off

    Chase and his group arrived at the rooftop of a tall building next to the Worthingtons' headquarters."That whole building over there belongs to the Worthingtons," Cyril said, pointing to the rooftop across from them where the giant words for 'Worthington Group' were displayed.For Willow and Walter, this was their first time seeing the high-rise buildings of modern society. Everything felt fresh and fascinating. They were curiously scanning the surroundings.Chase glanced at the crowds below and frowned. "This isn't a good place to fight them. There are too many civilians around. One misstep and it'll be a disaster.""Is that a problem?" asked Walter, the Water and Fire Two-Headed Giant Python. Although currently in human form, he still carried a beast's mindset and did not see anything wrong with the idea.Cyril, hearing Chase's concern, immediately understood he did not want to harm innocents. However, Walter, as Chase's contract beast, seemed surprisingly indifferent to human

    In the Worthingtons' headquarters, Ricky looked at Dominic, who was still stunned from the earlier battle, and shook his head.Dominic clutched his throbbing head and asked, "Is there really no way to get all this weird junk out of my mind?""To clear it out, I'd have to work with Carla and treat you for nearly a full year. And that's only if we return to the nether realm. Here? It's practically impossible," Ricky snorted."You're a peak martial nirvana cultivator, and you've already mastered the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist, a top-tier yellow-ranked technique. You even have the Two Evils of Hell by your side, so why did you insist on fighting that kid one-on-one? Wasn't his destiny aura bright enough for you to realize who you were dealing with?"After explaining the difficulty of healing him, Ricky could not help but scold Dominic in a tone full of frustration. From his perspective, their side had been at a disadvantage ever since entering this so-called Dark and Light Mineral Ore.

    "Aren't you going to help your companion?"Cyril pointed at Walter, whose massive python body was still twitching on the ground."Oh, he'll be fine in a bit," Chase replied calmly.He knew Walter had just been frightened by Silly Husky's soul-based attack.At that moment, Chase finally grasped the full extent of Greedy Wolf's power. The next time he encountered Dominic, he would make sure the man paid dearly.He began reciting the Tranquil Mind and Spirit-Clearing Mantra, dispelling the lingering effects of Greedy Wolf's soul attack from Willow and Walter.As for Cyril, he managed to recover on his own, which did not surprise Chase. After all, Cyril was the protagonist of this world."Just now, were we trapped in some kind of illusion left by the enemy?" Willow, still shaken, finally snapped out of it and recalled the terrifying scene."No, that was a special soul-based attack from my Greedy Wolf blade. Sorry about that," Chase offered an unusually rare apology.The indiscrimi

    Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec

    Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho

    This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s

    The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
