Chapter 39

Penulis: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“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

    “Go over there if you don’t want to die!” A young man in a suit pointed at the corner beside him, his face dark.For a moment, everyone was pushing and shoving each other as they crowded into the corner. They were scared that they would be implicated.Quinn stood still as people surrounded her. At the same time, she was staring at Chase, tears welling in her eyes.She wondered, ‘Rocky? Is that you?’She bit her lip tightly, wanting to step forward and remove the bronze mask from Chase’s face.“Miss Norris, let’s get out of here.” Elaine immediately dragged her to the corner when she saw that she was still motionless.Tim gave Chase a cold look and immediately gave an order, “Get him!”In a moment, a dozen burly men were seen attacking Chase without saying a word.They were all fighters the Quaid family had been training over the years. They were all desperadoes with blood on their hands.They were extremely fast and approached Chase in the blink of an eye.However, Chase just

    “No!”When Tim felt the murderous intent from Chase’s eyes, he was so scared that he felt as if his soul was almost leaving his body. “Spare me! Please spare me! I had nothing to do with the fire back then.“Please, spare me. If you let me go, I'll be willing to testify against every bad thing my family has done.”Even though he was saying that, a small hint of rancor flashed across his eyes.He swore that if he could survive, he would tear Chase into pieces.“Nothing to do with you?” Chase chuckled, and he seemed to be poking fun at him. “Do you think I don’t know why you're hosting this auction? Do you think I don’t know you’re doing this to bait me?”“You…”Tim’s heart sank, and he was terrified. “You can’t kill me, or the Quaid family won’t spare you! My family is stronger than you imagine...”Before he could finish, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. In the next moment, he felt as if his entire world had turned upside down.He noticed his nephew, Jacob, was looking at

    “Don’t worry, this is just the appetizer. Soon, I'll have the heads of all the Quaid family members neatly placed in front of your grave!”After saying this, he buried the heads and the emerald pendant in front of Gideon's grave. Once he was done, he also took off his bloody clothes and burned them in public before turning around and leaving.Not long after he left, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the tombstone. She was panting.As she looked at the empty cemetery, Quinn’s delicate body trembled and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. “W-Where did he go? Isn’t he Rocky?”She fell heavily to the ground with her head pressed tightly against her legs. She felt very lonely.Suddenly, she smelled a faint smell of blood. When she looked up, she realized that the smell of blood was coming from the soil under her feet.Resisting the discomfort, she reached out her hands to claw at the dirt. Soon, a black bag appeared in her eyes.Quinn seemed to notice something and ope

    “Miss Norris, don’t you know that the entirety of South River City is quaking in its boots right now?"Elaine continued with lingering fear, “After the Quaid family sent people to take away the bodies of Jacob and Tim, they immediately made a statement. They’re threatening to cut the murderer to pieces at all costs!“Now, both the underworld and law enforcers in South River City are looking for the man wearing the bronze mask.“I heard that many people who were still at the scene are now at the hands of the Quaid family. I think the family is hoping to get some clues from them. If I hadn’t escaped fast enough, I would probably be at their mercy now too…" “Is Chase among them?” Quinn asked, her expression slightly changing.“Let’s not talk about that good-for-nothing.”Elaine snorted coldly and said, “I saw him sneaking around just now on the way back. He probably sneaked away when the mysterious man wearing the bronze mask appeared.”Quinn secretly breathed a sigh of relief bef

    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
