Chapter 3

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.

Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”

“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”

Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”

Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.

“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.

“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”

Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protect her.”

Chase frowned. “I don’t think that’s appropriate, Uncle Henry.”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about this unless you’re looking to disobey his orders.”

With a smile, Henry continued, “I approve of you as my son-in-law. It’s decided, then.”

Chase had no idea what else to say. “Alright. But I’ll only protect your daughter for three months.”

He quietly disagreed with this. This old man had always caused trouble for others when he was alive, and even in death, he was giving trouble to his disciple.

If he had known that his master would do this to him, Chase would not have been so nice as to buy so much porn for him when he was alive.

A cold voice rang out right then. “I don’t agree with this, Dad!”

The next moment, Chase saw a woman running in angrily. She did not have makeup on, but her features were exquisite. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and she had long, slender legs that were fair and smooth.

Behind her was a middle-aged woman who looked like she had taken good care of herself. The woman looked like she was about 40.

Riley Turner had fire spitting out of her eyes.

All she did was go out shopping with her mother and in that period of time, her father had already arranged a fiancé for her.

The fiancé he got for her looked no different than a beggar. She would be a laughingstock if her friends found out about this.

“Are you crazy, Henry? This boy isn’t good enough for Riley,” Henry’s wife, Laura Holland, said coldly.

“This is all for Riley’s good. You’ll understand the reason for this in the future,” Henry tried to calm them down.

Riley stamped her feet. “Dad, I'll never marry a beggar like him even if it kills me.”

“I don’t agree to this either.”

Laura objected to this loudly.

Henry was enraged. “This has been decided. There is no room for discussion. Chase, I’ll be handing my daughter over to you.”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Henry. I’ll make sure to protect her well,” Chase promised.

Smiling, Henry said, “Riley, bring Chase with you to buy some daily necessities. It’s his first time here, and he doesn’t know the city well.

“By the way, bring Chase to your company tomorrow as well for an interview.

“Isn’t your colleague’s uncle the HR manager there? Just inform your colleague to arrange for Chase to work in your company.”

Riley was almost bursting into tears, but she knew her father was furious. All she could do was glare at Chase.

After they left the house, she looked at Chase in disgust. “I’m warning you, Collins. Don’t even think that we’ll really be getting married. I’m not into frogs like you. Just give it up.”

She thought Chase would argue against this, but to her surprise, he seemed nonchalant about it. “I’ll leave when the time comes.”

  • My Seven Gorgeous Women   Chapter 2266

    "Perhaps there are unspeakable circumstances? Don't you think so, Elder Weber?"Helena maintained her elegant bearing, speaking with a captivating charm that was pleasing to behold.Her reasons for helping Norm were obvious even to a fool. Norm was clearly the Dark Order of the Path's chosen one, making the Dark Divine Holy Land his natural destination.Even if it meant offending the top-ranked Wren, as the Dark Divine Holy Land's Holy Lord, Helena had to secure him; otherwise, she would be failing her sect's ancestors.Understanding Helena's identity and being no fool himself, Norm immediately grasped her intentions."You're right, Holy Lord Helena. Everything should wait until Mr. Collins completes his Divine Vein opening."He was naturally happy to find this shield and went along with her suggestion.Seeing all questions deflected to Chase, Wren made his decision. Comprehending this stone wall would not take more than half a day anyway. He would simply wait and see what excus

    Hearing Wren's words, Willow and the others suddenly found him rather clownish.Chase had already obtained both the Light Deity Technique and Dark Deity Technique, personally transmitted to him by the Light Divine Pearl and Dark Divine Pearl themselves. Chase had not hoarded these techniques either, teaching both supreme methods to everyone.The only differences in their cultivation progress stemmed from individual talents, aptitudes, and comprehension of the Order of the Path.Now, this supposedly premier Holy Lord of the realm was trying to tempt Norm with the very techniques they had already mastered. It was honestly hilarious.They suspected Norm had drawn the Ninth Heaven Dark Lightning and produced his special Dark Order of the Path Divine Veins precisely because he had been cultivating the Dark Deity Technique.Upon hearing Wren's recruitment offer, Norm's first thought was, "Is that it?"Of course, he could not say that directly and deflected again. "Everything must be

    Selmer, Wren, Helena, and Josh—the newly arrived master of the Divine Connection Sect—all paused upon hearing this, each beginning their own calculations."Elder Weber, my apologies for the oversight. About Mr. Collins, is he..." Selmer continued pressing for information.Norm found himself in a predicament. He cast a pleading glance toward Willow and the others. However, Willow, Yara, and Lisa, who were still displeased with his earlier deflection toward Chase, could not be bothered to respond.Norm knew his elder title was essentially meaningless within Chase's group. Apart from Willow, perhaps only Chase's contracted beast Walter could speak for him."This is Chase's contracted beast. You can ask him directly."Left with no choice, Norm passed the responsibility to Walter.Walter blinked, uncertain how to respond.Wren and the others, faced with this tower-like transformed monster, were equally at a loss for words. Enid had only mentioned names earlier without explaining each

    Though Norm grumbled internally, he understood clearly that the Light Divine Holy Land and Dark Divine Holy Land were this realm's top two sects. Both Holy Lords possessed peak stage five major martial god strength.If he handled this poorly, he might not make it out of the Dark and Light Sacred Hall alive. Hence, he smiled slightly and replied, "You flatter me, Holy Lord. However, I currently have no intention of changing allegiances."His words created an uproar among the local cultivators, including the sect masters of the Divine Connection Sect and the Divine Blood Sect, who had yet to speak.Naturally, Helena, who had directly extended the invitation, bore the brunt of this rejection."Oh? My Dark Divine Holy Land was founded by the Dark Martial Path Ancestor. The Ninth Heaven Dark Lightning and black Divine Veins you manifested when opening your channels clearly demonstrate your talent and mastery in the Dark Order of the Path."From every perspective, wouldn't we be more su

    At first, Wren thought Enid had made a mistake, but then he remembered Travis' words and confirmed it was true.Nearly 300 years old at stage three of major martial god, yet he was producing martial veins for the first time?Wren felt his assessment of the so-called Miracle Doctor Sect needed to drop even lower. Most likely, this sect lacked techniques above the major martial god level and probably had no predecessors who had ascended to divine status.Otherwise, Norm would not have waited so long to produce Divine Veins. This realization greatly boosted his confidence in recruiting Norm.Looking at this supposed Holy Lord Wren—clearly a stage-five major martial god—Norm felt a familiar sensation.Another Fallon, perhaps? He had the same arrogance and the same unbridled ambition!He could not help but find it amusing. Everything truly came full circle. This scene of adoration, this Wren before him… It was all a repeat of his past experiences.Norm was filled with emotion.Behin

    Norm felt completely bewildered.He had noticed everyone looking excited and envious, but he merely assumed they were discussing Walter or Yara opening several Divine Veins. He never imagined they were talking about him!When Enid gave her introduction earlier, he only listened to half of it before becoming captivated by the stone wall's contents.After all, given his relationship with Chase, he doubted he would receive many more cultivation resources or techniques. This Divine Blood Stone Wall represented one of his best opportunities. Indeed, he could feel the wall's contents helping him tremendously.When Enid later explained the history of Divine Vein openings, he barely listened. Instead, he sat on a meditation cushion and began his comprehension.After reflecting on his rather unremarkable nearly 300 years, he finally gained some insight.He had seen plenty of heavenly lightning before, but the purple lightning that came with producing Divine Veins seemed to be something
