Two figures shot through the sky, clashing together in a flash like comets colliding.A huge crash rang out as they flew apart after their first fierce battle in the air, creating a terrifying shockwave. If that impact had happened on the ground, there would have been few survivors."How can this be? It's only been a few days! How did you get so much stronger so fast?" Assassin Nine cried out, his old face showing total shock.Others might not realize it, but Assassin Nine knew that Chase's skills did not look like those of a beginner. He could keep his power under control, not letting even a bit of his energy show. It was clear he had mastered his new strength.In their fight just now, Chase was every bit his equal.Even though they were both martial arts masters, there was a huge difference between a newbie and someone who had been at it for years.Even with some lucky breaks in the past few days, getting a grip on that kind of power and really mastering it was not something th
'Could it be that Caspian Myst was the one who rescued Chase that day? No way, Caspian Myst has been gone for decades. How could he show up in Chitara?' Assassin Nine wondered to himself, puzzled.That was bad. If things kept up like that, he could end up dead. The Ancient Wave Punch from Caspian Myst was legendary, with each punch stronger than the last. And it doubled in power after every ten punches. If someone could throw a hundred punches, the force would be tenfold.At that thought, Assassin Nine's heart raced with fear.He could not believe it. He, the ninth-ranked assassin of the Martial Soul Hall, was losing to a kid who had just become a marquis of martial arts.No, that could not happen!He had to turn the tide.However, that was easier said than done.There was only one choice!Assassin Nine hit his chest hard, squeezing out a few precious drops of his heart's blood.Blood Kill!It was a risky move that would hurt him badly but would hurt his enemy even more!H
Another restrictive mechanism! Even someone like Assassin Nine could not talk about the past without being silenced by that mysterious force. It was clear that there was more to the story than it seemed. Chase thought to himself that no matter who was involved or what powers they had, they were going to pay. Even if it were a god, he would bring them down to earth. The faces of everyone from Green Hills Orphanage who did not make it filled his mind, and he was more determined than ever.Chase kicked the body of a fallen enemy, and it landed right at Powell Residence's front steps. He then glided over to where Olivia and the rest were waiting."Master Collins, what do we do with these people?" Lola asked, gesturing to the scared Powell family members."Get rid of them!" Chase ordered. Without another word, Lola dove into the crowd. Olivia was eager to get revenge for her master."Master Collins, please let me go. It was the head of the family who was against you. I was just follow
However, Chase barely batted an eyelid.Seeing no particular response from Chase, Ira went on, "We've pretty much picked out all the filming locations. Only the first scene is in Chitara, and the rest will be shot in various places across Bactria. You'll be on the move with the crew, Mr. Collins!"Chase frowned slightly at the news.It turned out that he would not just be filming in Chitara. He thought that it was no big deal, so he agreed."Great. Here's the script. Go over it well. Tomorrow's the first day of shooting. I'll see you there. I've got to run now. I have other things to handle," Ira said briskly, leaving the script behind as he headed out.The moment he stepped outside, he was swarmed by reporters."Mr. Perkins, a word, please?"The reporters were all eager for a comment.Ira said with a smile, "Thanks for all the buzz about my new movie. I'm thrilled to announce that our star actor is on board. Stay tuned for more updates!" With that, he hopped into his car and z
On the outskirts of Chitara, Ira's whole film crew was out there shooting, and he had an eye for the unique. Out of all the famous spots in Chitara, he did not pick a single one of them. Instead, he set his sights on this particular place.All of a sudden, a line of cars zoomed up the street outside. A crowd of people in sharp suits and shiny shoes poured out, crowding around the film set so that no one could squeeze through.Ira was important enough to have his own security team."What's going on here? This is Mr. Perkins' filming spot, and you can't mess with it."The security guards were on their toes, ready to protect, even though there were way fewer of them than the other group. They bravely tried to block them."We're here for you. Take them down!"Right after the leader spoke, his group rushed in. The few security guards were no match for the intruders. They were knocked down like they were just kids."Leave now if you don't want trouble," the leader barked. Then, he and
Just then, Chase swiftly darted forward and landed his attack right on the mark. Enzo was sent flying back in shock.Even when surrounded by so many guns, Chase still dared to slap him."Mr. Bateman, I want him gone!" Enzo stood up while holding his cheek, saying furiously."Whether he goes or stays and when that happens, that's up to me!" Jaxon did not pay much attention to Enzo. He walked over to Chase, looked him in the eye, and asked slowly, "Did you kill my son, Eric?""What if I did?" Chase said calmly."Why did you kill him? Just for this woman? He was my only son!" Jaxon demanded a reason."Because he had it coming!" Chase's words left everyone speechless.Chase mocked that Eric had his death coming in front of his father!"Chase, you're done for. Do you even know who you're talking to? That's Jaxon, the head of the biggest financial group in Chitara, Bateman Group. You dare to say that to his face? Not even a miracle can save you now."Enzo had seemingly forgotten the
The moment Chase's words hung in the air, all the bullets whizzed back the way they came, only faster. In an instant, everyone who had shot at Chase was on the ground, not moving.Jaxon's last thought was pure shock. The master of the Martial Arts Alliance was gone too?That explained why he had not been able to reach him for days.At this moment, only Zara and Enzo were left standing in the chaos. They were frozen with fear at the sight of the carnage."Chase, please let me go! It was all his idea!" Enzo whimpered, pointing at Jaxon's still form. He was begging for mercy. Seeing that Chase did not budge, Enzo scrambled over to Enola. "Enola, my sister, help me! Don't let me die!"Enola just shook off the hand on her leg and turned her back. She had lost all hope in him. Zara, too, finally begged. She ignored the mess on herself as she crawled from among the fallen."Enola, help me out. I'll give you everything I have. I'll even work for you and do anything you say.""Chase, you
Chase did not seem too bothered as he said flatly, "I won't leave. Ask them to step aside and I'll talk to you privately."Jules immediately lost his temper when he heard Chase's answer."How dare you? Chase, what do you think human life is? Talk? Even if the king himself were to come today, you'd have to come with us.""How troublesome." Chase sighed as he took out a purple token and tossed it to Jules.Jules caught it and took a look. Though the intricately carved nine dragons were lifelike, he had no idea what it was. Jules was still puzzled after examining it for a while."What's this?" Jules asked in confusion."You don't recognize it? That just means your rank is too low. How about this?" Chase replied, pulling out a golden item and tossing it over. It was the King Defeating Golden Mace.Chase casually tossed the King Defeating Golden Mace, which was capable of taking down corrupt officials and generals, to Jules. Jules looked equally confused. Chase realized Jules did not
