Zara actually had not left yet and had been waiting until now.

"What's up?" Chase did not put down his lunch box and just coldly asked.

"Chase, I'm here to apologize for what happened yesterday. I wasn't targeting you; I just couldn't stand the director randomly bringing people into the crew. After all, this drama isn't just the director's; we've all put in effort.

"But today, after observing you, I found that you're really suited for acting. So, I came to apologize to you and invite you to have a meal together. How about it?" Zara appeared apologetic.

"No need for a meal. This lunch box is pretty good. Just say what you need to." Chase shifted his lunch box and said.

"Chase, give me a chance. I won't hide the truth from you. After watching you act all morning, I realized I've fallen for you," Zara said with a half-hearted attempt.

Chase felt a chill run down his spine.

"Stop right there."

Chase quickly stood up, preparing to leave.

"Chase, give me a chance. Whatever Enola ca

    “Follow me. It wasn’t easy for you to make the trip. I’ll get you something to eat. There'll be a meeting here later. I’ll bring you along to gain some experience.” Enzo released his hand and led them into the suite.“Is he really your older brother?” Chase asked curiously after Enzo left the room.“Of course. I’m a Langdon, and so is he,” Enola replied matter-of-factly.“Is he your real brother?” Chase asked further.“Um… Alright, I’ll be honest with you. I was adopted by my parents, but they never lied to me about it. They treat me like their real daughter, and my brother dotes on me a lot too. He treats me like his real sister,” Enola said with a happy look on her face.“Where are your parents?” Chase asked curiously. Chase had known Enola for a while but never heard her talk about them before.“My parents died in an accident when I just started out in the entertainment industry. Enzo had to stop his studies overseas and return to Chitara to take over the family business. My b

    Even Chase was stunned.However, owning only one would not be of much use.His dead master had told him before that the current cultivating world no longer contained much spiritual energy. Chase did not expect to see a spiritual stone at this auction.The spiritual stone was a result of culminating spiritual energy.Could there be more than one if this particular stone was found via stone gambling?Chase decided to buy this spiritual stone.“Two hundred thousand!”Enola turned to look at him curiously when she heard him call a bid.“What do you want the ruby for, Chase? Rubies like that aren’t worth much. They’re just a piece of stone at the end of the day. It’s a gimmick to call it a jewel, just like those emerald pieces. They’re just items that have been slapped with the label 'precious,'” Enola advised Chase to prevent him from being scammed.“It’s fine. I’m just having some fun,” Chase replied casually.“I can’t believe someone is willing to pay 200,000 for a stone.”“Th

    It was clear that Enzo was treating Chase as someone who had bad intentions toward Enola.“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m just a bodyguard your sister hired!” Chase was not bothered to explain much and left after saying that.Chase headed straight toward Chitara’s stone gambling street.There were not many people on the street when he arrived. Only a few stalls were open. It was thanks to the internet era that stone gambling was no longer an activity that was as easy to scam people as before. Most people were now aware of the tricks they played, which was why fewer people visited this street.An old man with a stall by the street saw Chase standing in a daze. “How about trying out one of these stones?”The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw Chase. He swung the stone in his hand for a bit. He wanted badly to force Chase into buying it.However, enforcement had been strict in recent years. He could not physically force someone to make a purchase. He could only rely on his words.

    The old man grumbled silently. Young people nowadays were difficult to handle. He continued, “Just continue walking ahead until you cross two streets. You’ll find a shop called Emerald Studio. All you need to do is enter. You’ll find the real stone gambling street there.”He did not forget to give Chase a reminder.“There’s something else, young man. If you really want to visit that street, you’ll need to pay a fee at Emerald Studio. If there’s something you need, there’s no difference in buying it on this street. No one would be able to tell the difference if that person isn’t an expert…“Hey, where are you going?”Chase rubbed his nose. He was right. There was something up with this place.However, he did not expect this place to be divided into two streets.This street only sold fake stones.The real stone gambling street was in another place.It made sense. The stones on this street could only be used to con people.The real stone gambling street would have no lack of cust

    All Chase had to do was wait for the last person to get his hands on that stone. He would convince that person to sell the stone back to him. If that person refused, Chase would just snatch the stone if he had to.Everyone present felt nervous as they stared at the owner cutting the stone. They watched it without blinking. Their eyes were glued to the stone as they held their breaths. The machine quietly slid down to cut the stone.The anxious look in everyone’s eyes turned to disappointment as the sound of the stone being halved rang in the air.That slice cut the stone in half, and the smooth cut surface looked dull. There was no sign that this stone contained anything precious. Most of the spectators were disappointed, but they insisted on continue watching it.Dominic was especially focused on this. He had a group of men behind him, and when he saw that the stone yielded nothing, he cursed out loud in anger. He had both hands behind his back and held back his anger as he did no

    It was just a useless piece of crap. It did not matter how much Dominic asked for it, it could not be worth as much as before.Chase did not name a price. He wanted Dominic to be the one to suggest a price.“I spent 50 grand on this stone. All my cigar money has been thrown in. I won’t sell anything to you if you don’t give me at least ten or 20 grand.”He spoke like a true head honcho. Everyone could see that all that was left of the stone were broken-up pieces.What else was there to be cut open? There was nothing left inside! How could he ask for ten or 20 grand for the crumbled pieces?!He had to be dreaming!“Don’t be stupid.”The man Chase spoke to was worried that Chase would actually take up the offer. He pulled Chase back to stop Chase from saying anything further.Everyone began discussing this.There was not much left of the stone, and it was quite an anxious situation to be in.“Nothing much is left. You can’t bully someone out of town like this, Dominic!” A col

    There was no point doing something like that when he could cut a new stone for ten thousand.Chase was not affected by what the crowd was discussing. He took the remaining stones from the stall owner happily. He removed a piece of stone, which was the stone that contained the spiritual crystal.“Do you plan to cut your stone here, sir?” The stall owner asked Chase when he handed the cut-up stones over to him.Chase did not want the stones cut in public. Otherwise, Dominic might create trouble for him. Chase did not mind facing Dominic, but there was no need to give himself so much trouble.The crowd was still hanging around. Chase put away the stones and turned to leave. That was when he saw Enola and Enzo standing at the side.“Hey, Enola, isn’t that man your bodyguard? He’s such a joke. I wondered who that stupid guy was and it turned out to be him.”Enzo and Enola had been there for quite a while, but they could not squeeze through the crowd due to too many people standing aro

    “Return it? Hey, what’s the look you’re giving me?! I bought this translucent stone with Enola in the high-end stone area over there. I spent a million on it. There’s bound to be something good in there. Not everyone can be like you, willing to spend money on useless stones.”There were many types of stones available, and the icy gem stone was known to be a more expensive type of gem.“What if there’s nothing inside the stone after you cut it?” Chase asked with a smile.“Nonsense! Who do you think you are? I’ve been around here for years and won’t ever pick a stone with nothing in it. Do you trust me, Enola?” Enzo was enraged to hear Chase doubting him.He was the owner of the underground auction house of Chitara. How could he continue holding his head up if he could not pick a good stone?“You have to trust me, Enola. Let’s go. We should ignore people like him who don’t know what he’s talking about.” Enzo looked at Chase with animosity.“I didn’t say I don’t trust you, Enzo.” En

    "Spencer!" Chase's eyes were filled with rage, and murder boiled within them. "Die!"Spencer waved his weapon around and made an attack directly at Chase.The sounds of weapons clashing did not stop.It was not long before the look on Chase's face changed.Chase had vastly underestimated Spencer's abilities, especially after Spencer used the Violent Blood Technique. His power surged severalfold, and his physique's strength increased as well. It did not take him long to beat Chase back."Do you think you can defeat me?" Chase smiled coldly at him.He suddenly leaped into the air. True energy burst out fiercely from his body and formed into a brilliant gold light that lightened up the skies. The brilliance of his body made him look like a huge, burning sun."What's this?!" Spencer's eyes widened as his heart beat wildly."Suppress!" Chase roared.The lightning coiled around Spencer's body broke apart like glass. His clothes were ripped to pieces, and cracks appeared on his skin.

    "You killed my brother, Chase Collins, and you took everything my father left to me. We need to deal with this sooner or later!" Spencer attacked while roaring.There was a sharp look in his eye as he clenched his teeth while saying, "If you want to kill me, I'll make sure you die with me!" Spencer shouted.Chase immediately sensed the energy within Spencer began to surge. Spencer was covered with lightning-like marks, which emanated powerful waves."Oh no!" Chase instantly guessed that Spencer must have taken some sort of pill that temporarily heightened his protective energy.A notion moved in Chase's mind. A soft, milky light glowed on his storage ring and eventually enveloped Chase. The next moment, a vast power descended to shield him, and it instantly shot out. Everything happened fast.Chase had reacted quickly, but Spencer was even faster.He could not continue to stay where he was in such circumstances. Chase decided to escape right away."Trying to run?" Spencer sneere

    Chase emptied everything in there and prepared to leave. However, he suddenly sensed strong murderous intent from afar.There was a loud gush of the wind.He turned to look and saw a group of martial artists dressed in black coming at him in an attack. A young man was leading the group. The man stared sinisterly at Chase and asked coldly, "Were you the one who ambushed the Hawkinses' library?" He was tall and slender and had a good-looking face. He looked like a gentleman, but his eyes were cold and cruel."Are you Spencer Hawkins?" Chase narrowed his eyes and recognized the young man. "What do you want?""Cut the crap! You stole valuable books from the library. I have to detain you in the prison located in the Hawkinses' ancestral land. You'll suffer a fate worse than death!" Spencer said sinisterly.The prison was used to lock up members of the Hawkins family who committed crimes. Most of those locked up in that prison were guilty members or extended members of the Hawkins fam

    Outside the library, the guards were startled by the sudden commotion."Intruder alert!"Within moments, hurried footsteps echoed as guards approached the library in a frenzy.Chase casually tossed the long spear into the air and lightly pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot. His figure darted forward like a phantom.…Meanwhile, from the opposite direction of the library, two figures were rapidly closing in."The library is under attack!""I can feel a surge of energy that's far beyond the capability of a martial arts saint. Could it be a martial arts overlord?"These two stage-five martial arts saints were skilled fighters stationed by a branch of the Hawkins family to guard the area.As they rushed to investigate, a deafening explosion filled the air.The roof of the library collapsed, releasing a violent energy wave that swept outward, making their robes billow wildly."This is bad!"The two guards were furious. They rushed into the library, only to see a crims

    "How could it not be here?" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes. He was certain the Hawkinses' treasured manuals should be stored in this library.Suddenly, his expression shifted as he sensed something unusual.A faint breeze seemed to manifest out of nowhere, followed by a soft green glow that gradually expanded, forming a hazy barrier.Chase focused his mental energy, triggering a subtle yet profound ripple from the depths of his consciousness."Break for me!"His spiritual force surged like thunder, tearing through the barrier in an instant."So, the library not only holds cultivation techniques but is also protected by a spiritual restriction formation! For an ordinary martial arts saint, even someone at the peak stage, breaking through this would be impossible!"With a cold snort, Chase strode confidently toward the center of the library.There, in the heart of the room, sat a skeleton cross-legged. Its surface glowed faintly with a greenish hue, and it radiated a powerful

    "Hmm? Someone's approaching," Chase muttered, his brows furrowing together.He sensed several figures drawing near, their presence becoming increasingly apparent."It seems some people aren't ready to give up. Fine. If they've come, they won't be leaving," Chase said, a glint of cold determination flashing in his eyes.Without warning, Chase leaped out of the window and slammed his foot into the ground.The courtyard erupted in a cloud of dust and debris."Chase, prepare to die!"Several figures in black emerged, their auras sharp and menacing. All of them were martial arts saints who were exuding lethal intent.Four blades streaked toward Chase, each gleaming with deadly precision."Child's play," Chase remarked with a sneer. With a casual wave of his hand, he deflected the incoming attacks.The sheer force of his strike was overwhelming, like the weight of a mountain crashing down.In an instant, two of the martial arts saints exploded into clouds of blood and gore, leaving

    "Fine! As long as you spare my life, I swear eternal loyalty to you. I'll serve as your slave or servant if that's what it takes!" Luis declared without hesitation. He knew too well that if he refused, death would be his only outcome.Luis was not afraid of dying—he simply could not accept defeat. A lifetime of prestige was ruined in an instant."I, Luis Hawkins, swear to the heavens that I'll submit to Chase Collins and never betray him. Should I break this oath, I vow to meet a terrible end!" Luis raised his hand and spoke in a firm, resolute tone.Chase scoffed, his expression tinged with disdain. He had no intention of believing Luis, and the mockery in his eyes was evident. "Luis, you think I don't see through your games? Do you think I'm unaware that you're merely stalling for time?""H-How do you know that?" Luis narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them.Chase chuckled coldly. "Luis, I've dealt with countless schemers and liars. Your petty tricks? They don'

    "You can try," Chase said with a faint smile."You…" Luis was consumed with rage.Suddenly, a pitch-black spear shot out from the side. It was aimed directly at Chase.Chase's expression shifted. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he leaped back several yards, creating distance between himself and the attacker."I see the Hawkinses really are cunning!" Chase's gaze turned icy. "But since you're so desperate to die, I'll gladly oblige."Sword energy erupted, sharp and unforgiving. A single flash pierced through the head of a guard."Y-You're breaking your word!" Luis roared, his face turning an ashen shade.He had planned to use the family members as leverage against Chase, but instead, Chase had struck preemptively."I won't lay a single finger on your family," Chase said coldly. "But as for the others... Don't blame me for what's about to happen."He stared at Luis, his expression devoid of emotion. "Do you really think I care about the Hawkinses' wealth? To me, your

    Luis was utterly stunned upon hearing Chase's words. He had never imagined Chase's appetite would be so insatiable. He wanted the entirety of the Hawkins family's assets!"Mr. Collins, pardon me for being frank, but if it's money you want, the Hawkinses are not lacking in that. I can offer you five times the amount you desire," Luis said, attempting to negotiate.Chase chuckled. "Mr. Luis, you've misunderstood. Money means nothing to me." He then added while shaking his head, "I'm after more than just your resources. What truly interests me is the Hawkinses' forging techniques. Surrender those, and I might spare your life.""The forging techniques?!" Luis's eyes widened with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Hawkinses' ancestral rules strictly forbid passing those techniques to outsiders. We can only offer you finished products!"The forging techniques were a legacy painstakingly developed by generations of the Hawkinses' forebears. They were the family's lifeblo
