“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
“Alright!”Tiger grinned and quickly called the cashier over. “Calculate how much they spent.”After the cashier was done ringing up the items, he said, “Tiger, they spent a total of 14.26 million.”When the group heard this, they felt weak in their knees and almost passed out.14.26 million?Who could afford that?“Are you going to pay by credit card or check?” Tiger asked with a smile.Edward smiled bitterly. “W-We have no money...”“No money?” Tiger’s face turned cold as he said with a wave, “Okay, then. According to the rules here, if you can’t afford to pay, you can pay with your hands.”In an instant, several tall and strong men walked in with axes in their hands. They looked very unkind.Raymond and Anna had never seen such a scene before, and they were so frightened that they fell to the ground.“No, don’t cut off my hand!”“Edward, save us!”Even Riley and Laura were frightened, their eyes full of fear.“Hold on.”Edward stopped him hastily. “Tiger, right? I thi
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
Chase frowned, looking cautious.From his understanding of monsters, only a monster with golden fur, a giant, muscular body with great strength, and could spit flames would be at this level."Could this monster be another form of a powerhouse?"Chase quietly called himself stupid at this point. If it was really a powerhouse, there would be no ferocious beast here.This particular creature must have entered the land by accident and bumped into Chase coincidentally."But this monster is too powerful. I won't be able to take it down by myself."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.If his guess was correct, there had to be other powerful beings in the forest besides this ferocious beast. Otherwise, this beast would not be prowling around this area."I'll fight it out!"Chase made the decision after some thought.Chase stepped hard on the ground and leaped into the center of the valley.Another angry roar was heard from the other side. It was a black bear that was about seven
A brilliant sword flash glowed, and Chase instantly retreated with a burst to put some distance between them.A muscular man in darkness surrounding him stood there with a blade. He was staring sinisterly at Chase. The robe covered the man completely, hiding his face. Chase could sense immense pressure from the man."A stage-four martial god!" Chase narrowed his eyes as he observed the man.From the aura emanating from his man, Chase determined him to be a stage-four martial god with a powerful physique and spirit. His physique was extremely strong."You became a stage-four martial god at such a young age. Not bad! Too bad you happened to bump into me!"The black-robed man sneered. His right hand, which was yielding his blade, was sliced. Blood gushed out from it, drenching the black iron blade.There was caution and grimness in his eyes. He did not expect a young stage-three martial god to be slightly more powerful than he was.Strong wind began to gale, and Chase's clothes b
Chase could not help gulping at this thought as his heart beat wildly. "I'll go for it!"He clenched his teeth as he made the decision and headed toward the Flood Dragon.It was nighttime, and he was in front of a quiet cave. He stood out front with a grim look. Chase observed the place for a long time. After confirming there was no danger, he entered the cave.A giant corpse was lying right in front of him—the Flood Dragon.Its body was cold and missing some scales. It was covered with blood stains, looking like it had died a horrible death.The Flood Dragon's body was cut up badly. Only its abdomen was in perfect shape. The Flood Dragon must have protected it before dying.Chase crouched in front of the dragon. He reached out to look through its skin, and a translucent green crystal appeared in front of him."This must be the Flood Dragon's emerald bone. The quality is incredible…"Chase inspected it carefully. This piece of Flood Dragon emerald bone must be its Life Treasure
"I'll continue slaughtering!" Chase stood up once more.Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had recovered. It roared and lunged toward Chase with terrifying power.This time, Chase's body quivered slightly, but he still managed to block the dragon's attack."Not bad. There's thick dragon energy in this Flood Dragon's flesh and blood. If I use it to refine pills, the effects would be incredible!"Chase was excited about this. It was the same delight he felt when discovering a spiritual herb. It was due to hunting a dragon and obtaining its energy.There was a deafening explosion.Chase rode on the dragon's neck while inside the valley. He had a sword in his left hand while his right hand was clenched into a fist. He was using all of the skills and techniques he had learned.Chase punched the dragon right in its eyes.The dragon was filled with pain as it threw its head in the air and howled in misery. Meanwhile, Chase swung a punch with his other hand and struck the dragon right in the
The Flood Dragon howled with pain. A piece of scale on its head was indented. It was almost crushed."Looks like the strength of a Flood Dragon's physique exceeds the limitations of an ordinary martial artist. Otherwise, I would've crushed half its head with one punch."Chase's eyes narrowed with a cold look in them. "But this Flood Dragon is too big. It's perfect for training! Die!" He roared and lunged at the dragon again.Man and creature collided. Chase continued forward to attack. His fists punched the dragon again and again.Every punch rang with a loud metallic clang. Chase punched harder and harder as he fought wilder and wilder."What sort of martial arts technique is that?"The dragon began to sense danger and turned to escape."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase grunted coldly and stepped on the ground as he leaped into the air like an agile monkey. He landed right on the dragon's back."Time for you to get down!"Chase growled as he grabbed hard on the drago
"We should team up to kill that little bastard no matter what price we have to pay!"The three remaining middle-aged men suddenly stood up. Murder was in the air."No. He isn't our target. Our target is the Flood Python. We shouldn't cross that man if he's still alive." The old man tried to stop them."Damn it!"Everyone was unhappy about this but they also knew that if Chase was still alive and they approached him, it would only incur his wrath. Things would get complicated if that happened."Forget about it. We should let that little bastard be. Once we get our hands on that Flood Python, we'll tear him apart," the young man in extravagant clothes said unhappily."He's right. We can't let that little bastard leave the lake alive.""I don't believe an ordinary man can survive that lake. He must have sunk deep inside and drowned.""We'll wait until tomorrow to get that python and take its crystal core!""Let's go!" Everyone left the cave after discussing this. They continued
"No wonder they're an ancient lost species. They have powerful bloodlines. My power is just enough to stab this snake, but I was able to destroy the defenses of this lizard with eagle claws."Chase frowned. The bloodline of these monsters was too powerful. If it were not for the help of mystical powers, he would have lost if he had relied only on his cultivation and physique."If that's the way this is, I'll use the opportunity to improve my sword technique…"The look in Chase's eyes turned cold. His mental energy condensed into a sword aura that instantly chopped off the head of the snake.As for the eagle-clawed lizard, it tried to struggle for its life. Even though its abdomen had a hole in it, it tried to fight back stubbornly and refused to die. It even tried to escape by running into the lake to hide.However, Chase did not let the lizard have its way.Chase took a breath to swallow true energy. The lake was instantly filled with true energy that surged and boiled wildly. I
Chase's eyes widened. He knew he was no match for this enemy.Even with his current stamina, he could only explode with a maximum strength equivalent to the weight of six thousand pounds. That middle-aged man could punch through a house with one move. If they got into close combat, Chase was bound to lose."How dare you barge into this forbidden land?"The middle-aged man spoke coldly. He glanced at the corpse and blood on the ground and immediately understood what had transpired. "I'd advise you to leave right away or you'll be sure to die."Chase laughed tauntingly."You're asking for it!" The middle-aged man was enraged. He suddenly made a move and lunged forward to kill Chase.However, a bright red sword slashed through the air as it aimed for the man's throat. The man frowned and reached out to grab the blade of the sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere.The man sensed a horrifying attack on him. His hand was torn and was almost dislocated."Your physique is extraordinar
