“Sir, the Quaids had their eyes on the land of Green Hills Orphanage 12 years ago. They tried everything they could to convince the orphanage director, Gideon Hills, to give up the orphanage, but he wouldn’t budge. "In the end, they burned down Green Hills and grabbed the opportunity to take the land…“The Quaids later became one of the five elite families of South River City because of that land!“I’ve received information that the Quaids will be attending an auction three days later to bid on an emerald. Rumor has it that the emerald is a remnant from Green Hills Orphanage that is supposed to be magical.”Chase looked like he was ready to murder them. Sam felt as though an invisible pair of hands was strangling him, and it sent chills down his spine.“The Quaids have to pay for this!” Chase smiled, but there was a chilling look in his eyes.They had murdered 108 people in that fire for a piece of land.He immediately instructed, “Make preparations. I'll attend that auction in
Quinn’s pretty face lit up. “Mr. Collins, I’d like to find out if the miracle doctor is as good as you say. Is he able to treat ALS?”She had asked this question because her grandfather, Charles, was suffering from ALS. It was known as one of the top five terminal illnesses in the world. ALS patients normally would only have three to five years to live.The symptoms included muscle atrophy, stiffness of limbs, and paralysis. It even affected the respiratory muscles, which would cause the patient to die of respiratory failure.Charles' condition was at the late stage, and he could die at any moment.“ALS?”Sam was taken aback. He replied seriously, “If it was some other doctor, there might not be hope, but it shouldn’t be a problem if it's the miracle doctor who treated me five years ago.”Quinn felt as though something had gone off in her mind, and her breathing got a little more ragged.If it were someone else, she would not have believed it. She might even think she was being
“Huh?”Quinn and Elaine were taken aback at first, but they later laughed out loud in unison.“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I, Collins? You’re saying that you live here?”Elaine laughed in great exaggeration. “Do you know how much a villa is worth here? It can easily go up to 30 or 40 million. A bumpkin like you can work hard your entire life and you won’t even be able to afford a bathroom here.”“Oh, I can’t take it anymore. You’re making me laugh too hard.”Her hands were clasping on her tummy, and she could not stop laughing.Quinn had an angry smile on her face. “Tell me, which is your house?”“It’s at the peak. I think it’s called Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1 or something,” Chase replied casually.Quinn laughed sardonically.If he had mentioned another random villa, she might have believed him.However, Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No.1 was the address of the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. Why would this country bumpkin be staying there?She looked at Chase sympathetica
Everyone looked toward the voice’s direction and saw Chase standing at the door.“Who are you, young man?” Dr. Strickland’s face fell as he asked unhappily.“You don’t need to know who I am."Chase took a step forward and sniggered. “The old man in bed has two years more to live, but you’re claiming his time is up. That’s disregard for human life.”A stranger’s death had nothing to do with Chase, but this person had belittled the old man, and Chase had to do something about it.It was because Chase’s master had gone by the moniker of ‘The Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ when he was traveling the world, and Chase had inherited this title. He had the responsibility of defending the honor of this title.Dr. Strickland was enraged to hear Chase claim that he was disregarding human life. “What did you just say, you rascal?”Everyone turned to look at Chase coldly.The doctor’s name was Elijah Strickland, and he came from a family that had been in the medical industry for hundreds of y
A silver light flashed in his hand, and seven silver needles appeared.“Go!”Chase waved his arm, and the seven silver needles pierced into seven acupoints on the old man.Dr. Strickland was startled by this and exclaimed, “Did… Did you just move the needles through the void?!”After the seven needles pierced into the old man’s acupoints, a white light suddenly flashed from them, and the needles formed into the alignment of the Big Dipper. It was dazzling, looking like the starry sky.“Inscription for 10,000 years on your back, inscription for the seven stars on your chest. The Grim Reaper welcomes you now, but I can keep you here with us.“Awaken! If not now, when?!”Chase chanted those words. It sounded like they were the key to controlling life and death.The moment he finished the words, the old man on the bed who was supposed to be unconscious suddenly threw up blood that was black. After that, he began coughing violently.Everyone was silent.They were thunderstruck and
That man had been telling the truth since the beginning. He really could save her grandfather.Unfortunately, she had treated him as a con man.An employee of the Cooper Corporation took a deep breath and said determinedly, “From now onward, every one of us will search for the whereabouts of this miracle doctor even if we have to overturn the entire South River City. Don’t come back without finding him!”The next morning, Henry called Chase again. “Where are you, Chase? Riley is taking you to her company for an interview. Give me your address and I’ll get her to pick you up.”“Alright, Uncle Henry.” Chase sent him the address for Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No.1.Downstairs at the Turner household, a young woman in a black, professional suit was standing next to a white Benz C260. She looked at the time and said impatiently, “Riley, that country bumpkin fiancé of yours isn’t respecting our time. We’ve been waiting for him for quite a while.”“Stop it, Anna. I’m already feeling frus
Chase shook his head and replied, “I wasn’t the one who bought it.”“Huh?”The two women were surprised to hear that.Anna did not really believe him. “You sure keep a low profile, Mr. Collins.”She suddenly noticed the bag in Chase’s hand, and her eyes brightened. “Do you have cash in there, Mr. Collins? I always hear about how rich people like using cash.”Before Chase could say anything, she had taken a step forward to take the bag from him. She opened it and looked inside.Her face turned green instantly.There was no cash inside. The bag was filled with cans and mineral water bottles. It was dirty and smelled bad.“It's the garbage I just picked up,” Chase explained. He had no idea whether to laugh or cry at this situation.“Garbage you picked up?” Anna’s smile froze on her face.“That’s right.” Chase nodded.Anna’s expression fell immediately. “After all that confusion, you’re just here to pick up garbage?”She wiped her hands furiously with a paper napkin as she spok
“What’s the rush? We’re about to become colleagues soon. It’s better to get to know each other first.”A cold look flashed in Edward’s eyes. He reached his hand out to Chase and bragged, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Edward Wright, the current manager of the Second Marketing Department. I’m Riley’s colleague and superior.”Chase noticed the malicious smile on Edward’s face and knew what was going on. Chase reached out his hand as well. He said with a stoic expression, “Chase Collins.”Raymond quietly got excited when he saw them shake hands.Edward was known to have an iron grip. Raymond had once shaken hands with Edward, and his fingers almost broke. He was in pain for three whole days, and Edward had gone easy on him.This country bumpkin was about to have a taste of that.When Chase and Edward shook hands, Chase felt a strong grip on his hand.He looked at Edward. There was a taunting and expectant look on Edward’s face.Edward wanted to humiliate Chase in front of Rile
A sharp blade appeared in Chase's hand.This was a spiritual artifact named Azure Edge, forged by a renowned swordsmith after considerable expense and effort.A flash of cold light swept across, instantly felling over a dozen ghostly creatures.They stood no chance against Chase's strikes. Their throats were slit, and their heads separated cleanly from their bodies.A crimson crystal dropped into Chase's palm.It appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it contained a thick, viscous vitality and was more potent than ordinary blood. A faint spiritual essence seemed to pulse within it, emanating an almost sentient energy."Is this a ghost crystal?" Chase's eyes lit up with excitement.He immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on restoring his depleted vitality.Within his core, his Sea of True Energy roiled and churned. Vitality surged as waves of energy coursed through his bloodstream, refining his muscles and bones."This ghost crystal is incredible. It's allowing my bo
Chase's pupils contracted as he sensed the impending danger.He unleashed a barrage of punches in an instant, executing the most powerful technique from the Dominion Codex.The void trembled and cracked as Chase staggered back several steps. Despite the force of his strikes, his attack barely grazed the massive beast's claws, leaving only minor scratches.The beast howled furiously, its eyes filled with unrestrained violence.Chase fixed his gaze on it, and he asked in a wary tone, "Who… or what are you?"The creature's aura was pure savagery. Its heavy, steel-like scales were nearly impenetrable. Chase's full-strength attacks barely left a mark, let alone inflicted critical damage.The beast let out a deafening roar and leaped forward, spewing a foul, dark liquid at Chase.Where the liquid hit the ground, it immediately began to corrode, releasing an acrid stench. The substance seeped into the soil like acid, causing nearby plants to wither and die almost instantly.Chase reac
"Damn it! What kind of mysterious medicine is this? The pain is unbearable!"Moments later, Chase calmed down, and his expression was dazed as he muttered to himself, "That scene… Could it have been an illusion?"Chase refused to believe it was merely an illusion. After all, if it were, how could he have seen that towering, majestic mountain?That night, Chase stayed in the cave instead of leaving. He continued to study the Dominion Codex, determined to master the technique as quickly as possible and ascend to a higher realm.…Meanwhile, a man clad in armor stood suspended in the air in another location.The man's posture was upright, his features sharp and striking, with eyes as deep and vast as the cosmos. He exuded an overwhelming aura of sharpness and power."So, it was an illusion?"The man frowned slightly, sensing a faint aura belonging to the Ghost King bloodline emanating from Chase. This discovery puzzled him."Something feels off," he murmured. "This human's bloodl
Chase stared in shock at the withered, lifeless corpse before him."So, this is the so-called secret?" Chase let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden relic, but it turns out to be nothing more than a trap."The eerie figure had used him as a mere sacrifice, intending to refine his body to restore his own strength and cultivation.The only secret Chase had uncovered was the entrance to the hidden realm, and he suspected it contained unimaginable treasures. Yet he realized the reason he could not enter alive was simple—he was not strong enough."If I've already been discovered, I might as well turn the tables!"His thoughts sharpened, and a ruthless gleam appeared in his eyes. Chase hurled a barrage of punches without hesitation.His iron fists rained down like a storm, striking the eerie figure with deafening impacts.The figure was caught completely off guard, stunned by the ferocity of Chase's counter-attack."Ahhh! You damn insect, st
With a flick of his trembling fingers, Chase unleashed a flash of silver sword energy from his fingertips, targeting the figure's forehead.The eerie figure was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Chase to launch an attack. However, he simply raised his hand and flicked a finger.The silver sword energy shattered instantly, and Chase staggered back several steps, his chest heaving with labored breaths."As I thought... My cultivation is too weak. Even using the second stance of my sword technique can't harm this old monster in the slightest. If I want to win, I'll have to use that final move…" Chase's mind raced as his gaze flickered with determination.At that moment, the eerie figure opened his eyes again, revealing a mocking grin."Your physique is peculiar," he remarked."Hahaha! Don't worry. Once you become my servant, all these divine abilities and techniques, even the secrets of the True Martial Principles, will belong to you!"As the figure finished speaking, a s
Chase quickly calmed his mind, and a broad smile spread across his face. The figure before him was undoubtedly the most powerful ally he had ever encountered.If he could earn this person's approval, he would gain access to an array of techniques—martial arts, supernatural skills, combat techniques, and even secrets for refining the body.This opportunity was far more significant than just obtaining the Seven-Star Herb and mastering a Supreme Technique."Boy, come here and bow before me!"Suddenly, the eerie figure sitting cross-legged spoke with a cold and commanding voice."Bow?" Chase froze for a moment. Was this guy out of his mind?"That's right! Your ability to make it this far proves you've passed the trial. As a reward, I will grant you an opportunity," the eerie figure said, his tone laced with icy indifference."From now on, you'll serve as my subordinate, guarding my tomb for a hundred years. Once the century is up, I'll set you free."Hearing this, Chase immediately
The blood mist gradually dissipated, revealing Chase's figure.Chase was slightly startled. He noticed that his skin was now covered in a faint golden layer of scales, resembling a suit of golden armor.These golden scales were not just protective layers; they felt more like a natural armor embedded into his body.He raised his hand and touched them. They were as hard as iron, with a faint metallic gleam shimmering under the light.Standing still, Chase let the wind blow past him. His clothes fluttered wildly.In the next moment, Chase stretched out his arms, exuding a terrifying destructive power as though a dragon had emerged from the sea.He slammed into the rock wall with full force, causing the stone surface to shatter and crack apart."This… This is the Supreme Technique!"Chase stood dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. "I… I actually cultivated the Supreme Technique? The legendary Supreme Technique!"The Supreme Technique was the pinnacle of martial arts, an incred
The sight before him was astonishing. This figure had actually knocked him to the ground! It was beyond belief.Chase cast the man a cold, indifferent glance but said nothing. He turned and walked deeper into the valley.As he ventured further, the patterns etched into the mountain walls grew increasingly intricate and mysterious, with ripples of glowing light flowing through them."There's definitely something unusual here," Chase muttered to himself while nodding slightly.His eyes landed on a carved totem on the rock face. It was a ferocious and menacing Wolf King Totem.Suddenly, the totem came to life!The Wolf King opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, sending sound waves rippling through the air. Caught off guard, Chase coughed up blood on the spot."What the hell is this thing?" he exclaimed as his expression changed dramatically. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily retreated.Two Wolf King Totems peeled themselves from the wall. They ex
Chase had a guess about it. He pushed open the stone door and strode in, his eyes widening at the sight before him.He saw a great cliff that was thousands of feet high. It was full of numerous images and wordings carved into it. It looked quite a mess and he could remember nothing on it at a glance.Chase also distinctly sensed a thick wave of heaven and earth's vitality in this vast and open land."Huh? The vitality waves seem to contain an ancient yet weary aura."Chase was surprised.He crouched down next to the cliff to take a closer look."These wordings seem to be an ancient language. Could it be a type of ancient script?" Chase frowned.Ancient script?Chase gave this further thought.He reached out to pat the cliff in an attempt to find out if there were any treasures hidden within it.However, this cliff was as solid as steel. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to leave any marks on it."If I'm not able to destroy this cliff, I should just leave."Chase si
