Chapter 397

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
The next afternoon, Chase saw Finn and Iris again.

This time, they were the ones who came to see him.

Chase said in surprise, “Finn, have you found out where Quinn is?”

He asked the question because he knew that Finn and Iris were busy with work and they would not be able to conduct the search on their own.

“I’m sorry, Chase!”

Finn shook his head and smiled bitterly as he said, “We tried to track down Miss Norris and Madam Snake, but we won’t be able to get any news in such a short time.”

“Is there a reason why you’re here today?” Chase asked.

Finn and Iris gave each other a look. They had no idea how to voice out their reason for seeing him.

In the end, it was Finn who said, “Have you heard about the Basalt, Chase?”

Chase shook his head and said, “I suppose it’s the most mysterious organization in Bactria and it’s in charge of solving difficult and complicated issues for the country.”

“That’s right!”

Finn nodded and said, “You’re a cultivator of martial arts, Chase. You mu

    Iris was almost crying as she watched the almost-crazed Finn. Her tears could not stop falling.She said with reddened eyes, “People are too selfish. They're either afraid of dying or they only care about their own benefits. They'll just sit on their high horses if the issue does not implicate them.“This era might look peaceful on the surface but it’s not as wonderful as everyone thinks. People can enjoy the peace because someone else is taking up the responsibility to keep the peace.“Every time there is an earthquake or a horrible flood, who are the ones who risk their lives to be the first responders, saving every life they can? Do they get paid a lot? Aren’t they people too? It’s all because they are soldiers serving the people!“When news is reported on drug organizations being busted, no one knows how much effort has been poured into taking them down, even risking their lives. Do they get paid a lot? Aren’t they people too? It’s all because they are soldiers serving the peop

    Myra smiled sweetly at Chase’s attempt to comfort her.However, she hesitated before taking out her phone to send out a message.Four hours later, it was noon. They had finally arrived at the West Oceania military camp.Myra reminded him, “Don’t say anything to anger Kent Hampton when you get inside, Chase. Just let me handle everything.”“We’ll see how things go.”Chase smiled. There was something hidden behind his smile.If Kent was reasonable, Chase was willing to give him some leeway.However, it would be different if Kent was not.Many soldiers were stationed at the door of the military camp. They stood guard firmly within miles of radius.Chase and Myra had just arrived at the food when a few soldiers with guns stopped them. “Halt! Who goes there?”“Are you blind? Don’t you know who I am?” Myra asked coldly.The muscled man who looked like the leader sneered. “We know who you are, Miss Kollins. We meant that fellow behind you. This is important military grounds, after

    Dozens of muscled men with guns flooded into the room in an instant. Their guns were all aimed straight at Chase.“Marshal Hampton…” Myra turned pale from fright.Kent put up his hand to silence her. He looked coldly at Chase. “I’ll give you a chance right now, young man. Kneel and apologize to me and my son, and I’ll spare your life.“I know you can fight, but don’t forget that this is my territory!”“That’s right, Collins. Kneel at my feet or I’ll let my father kill you,” Logan began bragging excitedly.“Really?”Chase laughed with disdain. He said calmly, “I’ll give you a chance too, Kent Hampton. I’ll let this go if both of you kneel to Myra and me to apologize.”“Wait, Chase…” Myra was shocked.She did not expect Chase to be so stubborn. He was still angering Kent at a time like this.Clap, clap, clap…Kent laughed angrily while applauding. He sneered and said, “You’re a brazen man. Looks like you won’t learn your lesson until I teach it to you.“Take Myra away. I’ll st

    When he felt Finn looking at him, Kent thought Finn was unhappy that he had brought an outsider into the military camp.Kent said, “Sir, you have no idea. This kid beat up my son, so that’s why I called him here to settle debts with him.“But this kid is so bold to make a fake King Defeating Golden Mace to sneak in here.”Finn roared when Kent said that, “You bastard!”Kent and Logan were thrilled when he saw this.He had offended a representative of the Basalt!Even God would not be able to save this kid, let alone Myra.Kent then ordered one of his men with an angry look on his face, “You bastards, what are you waiting for? Lock that kid up! Are you trying to embarrass yourself in front of the sir?”“Kent, you’re the bastard!” Finn roared, his voice thunderous.“Sir, you…” Kent was confused.Finn’s expression turned dark as he asked, “Do you know who he is?“He’s the new chief instructor of the Basalt!”Right after Finn said that, Kent was completely stunned.Logan was a

    When he saw his idiot son standing there motionlessly, Kent slapped him across the face angrily. “You rascal, this is all your fault!”Logan fell to the ground after the slap. After a buzzing sound in his ear, he lost consciousness.“Alright, that’s enough.”Chase interrupted, “This is just a lesson for you. I won't spare you so easily if you repeat this.”“Yes!”Kent patted his chest and promised, “Don’t worry, sir. I'll never disobey you in the future!”…Outside the military camp, Myra noticed that Chase had not returned after a long time.She could only call someone. “Grandma, I agree. But I need the Wallaces to help me save someone.”Soon, a car with Camland’s license plate drove over.Then, a middle-aged man with a square face walked out with a young man.“Uncle…” Myra struggled to say that word.The middle-aged man’s name was Samson Wallace, and he was the head of the Wallaces in Camland. Meanwhile, the young man's name was Sterling Wallace, and he was Samson’s son.

    After Chase parted ways with Finn, he came out to see Myra. “Myra.”“Chase, a-are you alright? Kent didn’t hurt you, did he?” Myra asked in surprise.“I’m fine.”Chase smiled and continued, “Kent’s not bad. He didn’t do anything to me.”Myra looked at Chase closely. After making sure he was completely fine, she sighed in relief.‘Did Kent spare Chase because of Sterling?’Myra wondered, feeling a little moved.At this moment, Samson and Sterling emerged with their heads lowered. They looked very dejected, especially Sterling. His expression was so unpleasant that he looked as if he had lost a parent.He was so confident before he went in. He thought Kent would welcome him and show him respect after discovering he was a Basalt candidate.However, he got kicked out before he could meet Kent.‘Damn you, Kent. Just you wait. You'll suffer when I become an official Basalt member,’ Sterling swore in his heart.When Myra saw them, she walked over and said with gratitude, “Uncle Sam

    “Really?” Myra was stunned.Immediately, Samson started panicking. The Wallaces’ plan would be in vain if they told the truth.He quickly said, “Kid, you'd better be grateful. How could you come out if we didn’t inform Kent about this?”He brought up the question in Myra’s heart.Chase then answered in a deep voice, “Easy. I have a stronger background than Kent. Even if you gave him balls of steel, he still wouldn't do anything to me.”“Oh yeah? How much stronger, then?” Sterling asked in disdain.Chase answered word by word, “I'm the chief instructor of Basalt.”Right after he said that, the air around them fell quiet.The three of them had looks of shock on their faces.Sterling started laughing after a few seconds. “Hahaha! I’m going to die from laughter. He’s saying that he’s the chief instructor of Basalt! This is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!“Gosh, I’m going to die from laughter.”Samson also burst into laughter. “Kid, are you for real? Why don’t you just say tha

    Samson’s face was drenched in sweat at this moment. He was shaking as he looked at Chase.If he remembered correctly, Chase just said that he was the chief instructor of Basalt.They thought he was lying, so they did not take him seriously.However, now that the military news station had made the announcement, he could be sure that Basalt’s new chief instructor was also surnamed Collins.…How could he not panic?Sterling and Myra also understood when they saw Samson’s reaction. Then, they turned to look at Chase in unison, their faces filled with shock.As Samson looked at Chase, he inhaled sharply and asked, “A-Are you really Basalt’s chief instructor?”Chase replied flatly, “Do you believe me now?”Samson was scared out of his wits.Meanwhile, Myra was astonished.Suddenly, Sterling scoffed and said, “Dad, don’t be fooled by him.“He can’t be the chief instructor just because he shares the same last name, right?“It’s just a coincidence.”Then, he said confidently, “Mo

    "What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the

    Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen

    "History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon.

    Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
