Chapter 45

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“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

    Upon hearing this, Raymond, Anna, and the others immediately started licking his boots.“In that case, let’s go.” Henry waved his hand.They got into two cars and rushed toward the destination—Imperial Restaurant.Riley did not want to sit in the same car as Chase, so she got into Edward’s car.As a result, Chase had no choice but to sit in Henry’s car, but he seemed very indifferent to this.Inside Edward’s car, Raymond and Anna chose to sit in the back seat. They very wisely let Riley sit in the front passenger seat as she would then be the closest to Edward.“Edward, that country bumpkin is so annoying. We can’t go on like this,” Raymond blurted.“Yeah, Edward, that guy is so shameless. I feel sick when I see him.” Anna nodded immediately.The two of them did not shy from the topic even though Riley was in the car. After all, they knew that she did not like Chase.Edward was also very unhappy with Chase and immediately sneered. “Don’t worry, I'll let him know what it’s like

    Soon, several burly men walked toward Edward and the others with unkind expressions.Everyone’s expressions changed.What was going on? Why did Mike seem to not recognize Edward’s Supreme Imperial Card?Edward was also frightened by the way things were going. “What are you doing? How dare you treat Supreme Imperial Card holders like this? I'll file a complaint against you with the Kingpin of South River City!”Bald Mike was about to kick the group out when he suddenly noticed Chase, who was standing behind Edward.At that moment, a violent shudder wracked his body. It was his card!Respect instantly flashed in Bald Mike’s eyes.After the incident with Daniel, Sam was worried that some of the people under his command would bump into Chase. Hence, he sent photos of Chase to the heads of all his industries and told them to treat Chase as if he were Sam himself. If anyone dared to go against Chase, Sam would kill whoever it was with no mercy.Recalling that, Bald Mike immediate

    “Of course.”After that, Chase went into the restroom.After Mike watched him leave, he turned to tell the young man, “Tiger, take the most treasured wine of the restaurant to Mr. Collins’ private room.”The young man named Tiger was shocked. He asked with wide eyes, “Mr. Parson, that’s a Splendor Liquor from 1979. There are only 17 in the world, and each of them costs more than ten million!“You wasted so much effort to get this one bottle, and you’ve always treasured it. You wouldn't sell it to anyone no matter how much money they offered…”Bald Mike simply gave a slap across the face before saying, “Just do as you’re told. Stop blabbering.”As long as he could get on Mr. Collins’ good side, he was willing to give away wine that cost 100 million, let alone wine that cost ten million.The young man could only do as he was told while clutching his face.It did not take long for the waiters to serve countless sumptuous delicacies in a neat and orderly fashion. There was caviar

    After she said that, Edward and Raymond turned to look at Chase mockingly.This was the plan they had discussed earlier, and their goal was to humiliate Chase.When Henry saw this, he frowned. “Anna, this is an eight-person table, so we can’t possibly add a stool. Why don’t you hang your bag on the chair?”“No way!” Anna refused with a huff. “Uncle Henry, this is a Gucci bag that I spent 20 grand on! What if it gets scratched?”“Yeah, Chase. You’re a man, so you won’t quibble with Anna over something so trivial, right?”“I think you should just eat standing up. What do you want? We’ll get it for you.”Edward suppressed his laughter as he spoke to Chase, giving him a hypocritical show of kindness.Chase did not say anything. Instead, he went over and threw Anna’s bag to the floor before sitting down on the chair. At that moment, Anna and the others were all stunned.“You asshole! H-How dare you throw my 20,000-dollar bag to the ground?!” Anna shrieked when she came back to her

    After saying that, he left.“Dad!” Riley wanted to go after him.“Riley, ignore him. He’s as stubborn as a mule.” Laura stopped her and gave a cold chuckle. “I have no idea why your dad is so nice to a country bumpkin. He’s treating Chase like he's his own son!“Alright, enough of that. Let’s eat.”After Laura said that, they sat down.Edward could not wait to open the expensive bottle of Splendor Liquor from 1979. After opening it, he poured a glass for everyone.“Here, let’s have a taste of this 13-million-dollar liquor.”Laura did not usually drink, but today, she had a few sips. While feeling intoxicated, she said, “Edward, it’s all thanks to you that I can have a taste of such good liquor.”“Yeah, Edward. With just this small glass, I'll be able to boast to my friends for an entire year!" Raymond gushed with a grin.When Edward heard the praise from all around him, he felt great and started to feel arrogant.“Edward, that country bumpkin said we’ll regret this. Hahaha! H

    Bald Mike turned to look at Edward with great disdain and sneered, “Apologize to him? Is he worthy of that?“He should take a good look at himself. I’m here to toast Mr. Collins!”Everyone was confused again.A toast to Mr. Collins?Who was Mr. Collins?After hearing what he said, Edward’s face turned red, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to hide in a hole in the ground.It turned out that everything had been in his head, and now, he was only left with embarrassment. Wait, Mr. Collins?Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. His expression changed slightly as he asked, “Mr. Parson, which Mr. Collins are you talking about?”Except for Chase, who had just left, there was no one with the surname Collins among them.Could it be...When he thought about this, a bad feeling suddenly washed over him.“Who else could it be?” Bald Mike snorted as he added, “It’s the Mr. Collins who was with you just now.”As soon as he said that, it felt as if a bolt from the blue had struc

    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
