Chapter 59

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
After Elijah said that, Evelyn and Sherman stood frozen on the spot momentarily. It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck them.

Evelyn was so shocked that her scalp was tingling.

What did he say?

The kid in front of her was the expert who even Dr. Strickland admired?

Screaming, she asked in disbelief, “How is this possible? How is this possible? Dr. Strickland, did you get the wrong person?”

“Just assume that I did, then.” Elijah smiled coldly. After that, he turned to look at Chase with great admiration and said, “It’s such an honor to have you visit my humble pharmacy.”

“You flatter me, Mr. Strickland.” Chase smiled lightly. “I’m here to get some medicine for Mr. Cooper.”

“Okay, please come with me and I'll personally prepare the medicine for you.”

Elijah nodded excitedly as he led Chase into the pharmacy, leaving Evelyn and her father petrified. Their brains could not register what was going on.

Soon, Chase took the packaged medicine and said, “Thank you, Mr. Strickland

    Chase turned around and walked away, saying indifferently, “Wrong, it’s 100 billion!”“What?”Evelyn was startled and thought she had heard wrongly. When she came back to her senses and wanted to curse, she found that Chase had disappeared.She could only squat on the ground and wail in despair.Sherman came out to console her, “Sweetheart, I’ve already accepted my fate.”“Ms. Benson, may I be so bold to say that you're too self-righteous and arrogant." Elijah, who also followed him out, spoke in a cold tone.“You think that because Benson Group runs a big business, you can pressure others with your power and lure them with gains. However, that's a big mistake.“For a person like my master, wealth and power are nothing to him. He doesn't even care about the entirety of South River, let alone Benson Group.“You used the worst method, which is tantamount to sentencing your father to death!”Elijah’s merciless words completely destroyed Evelyn’s pride.She burst into tears and s

    Catching her gaze, Chase smiled lightly and said, “Miss Cooper, you have so many friends. Why do you still want me there?”“It’s not the same.”Bianca’s pretty face was slightly flushed as she said, “Although I have a lot of friends, there are only a few who matter as much as you, Mr. Collins.“And you’ve been very kind to my family. So, if you can attend my birthday party, my grandfather and I will be very happy.”“Since you’ve said that, it'd be rude for me to refuse,” Chase said with a smile.Bianca immediately smiled sweetly and said, “That's great! I'll pick you up when the time comes.”It was getting dark.As soon as Chase returned to the Turners’ place, he saw Edward talking about something passionately while Laura and Riley looked shocked.When Henry spotted Chase, he smiled and said, “Chase, you came just in time. Edward and Riley are going to a gala tonight, so you should go too.”“What gala?” Chase asked.Henry said, “It’s the birthday of one of Edward’s big client

    More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the White Palace, a historic building that was a landmark of South River City.At the moment, the entrance to the White Palace was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs were nothing special here. Among the lineup of cars were also Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and even Rolls-Royces.Considering Bianca was the eldest daughter of the wealthy Cooper family, of course, countless people from South River City’s upper class were in attendance.“Mr. Collins, we’re here.”After Bianca parked the car, she stepped down and opened the door for Chase herself.At this moment, a Maserati stopped beside the two people. A second later, two women walked out of the car.Bianca immediately stepped forward and hugged one of the women. “Quinn! I thought you weren’t coming.”“I’m your best friend! How could I miss your party?” Quinn chuckled.The next moment, she spotted Chase, and her face turned cold. “It's you!”The secretary beside

    Turning around, Chase saw several familiar figures walking toward him.It was Edward, Riley, and the others.Riley looked at him in surprise. “Why are you here?”“Riley, do you even need to ask?” Edward took a step forward and looked at Chase with disdain. “This kid must've followed us because he wasn't happy about being left out."Upon hearing this, Riley’s eyes turned cold as she said with great disgust, “Chase, can't you stop pestering me? Don't you know that doing this will only make me resent you more and more?”“I’m not following you.”He continued indifferently, “I had no idea that the party you were going to was my friend’s birthday party. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.”“Your friend?” Raymond, standing behind Edward, questioned, “Tell us who your friend is, then!”“Bianca,” Chase said calmly.As soon as he said that, the group suddenly became silent.Edward was the first to react, showing an amused expression. “Did I hear correctly? Are you saying that Miss Cooper

    “Edward, who is he?” Anna looked curiously at Ferb.“You don’t know him?”Edward had a serious look on his face as he said, “He’s Ferb Quaid, the eldest son of the Quaid family in South River City. He was born with a silver spoon, so no one dares to cross him.”The three inhaled sharply.Then, Raymond exclaimed, “Look! He’s heading straight to Chase!”They looked over and saw that Ferb was indeed slowly making his way toward Chase. “Does Chase know Ferb?” Edward’s expression changed.Not only Edward, but the rest of the people in the room also shifted their gaze to Chase.“Who’s that kid?”“I don’t know. I don’t think he’s one of us.”“Does Mr. Ferb know him? That can’t be. That kid’s outfit doesn’t look like it cost even a grand. How could Mr. Ferb know someone like him?Then, as everyone was watching, Ferb arrived in front of Chase. “Are you Chase Collins?”“Yeah, why?” Sitting there, Chase looked calmly at him.“Hehe, let me introduce myself. My name is Ferb Quaid.” Fe

    After Ferb said that, the room turned cold, and everyone could feel a bone-piercing chill.“Hahaha! Chase is such an idiot! This is so funny. He’s doomed!”Edward did not like Chase, and considering the current situation, he was elated!In his eyes, Chase was already a dead man.Anna and Raymond also had the same thoughts, especially Anna. She turned to say to Riley, “See? I told you that this guy is a country bumpkin. Not only that, but he’s also a troublemaker. I said that he'd get himself killed sooner or later. And now, it looks like it’s coming true.”Riley seemed to be caught up in a complex mix of emotions when she heard that. The next second, fear overwhelmed her. “He’s so good at causing trouble. I’m glad I didn’t grow any feelings for him. Or else, I would've gotten into trouble with him.”Ferb smirked. The way he looked at Chase was filled with murderous intent. “Congratulations for successfully enraging me.“When I was eight years old, I was sent to an overseas mer

    The most shocked person among them was Riley. She had opened her eyes to sneak a peek. It looked like Ferb had been hit by Chase with one slap and flew away from the impact.All it took was one slap and he was flung more than ten meters away? That was incredible.She looked at Chase, the person who had once disgusted her immensely. She suddenly realized that she might have underestimated this man. He was not as useless as she had made him out to be…Ferb slowly stood up while everyone was looking at him.He wiped the blood away from the corner of his lips and looked at Chase savagely. “It’s impossible that I can’t defeat garbage like you! Impossible! This shouldn't have happened!”“King of Mercenaries?” Chase smiled tauntingly and said with murder laced in his voice, “This is all there is to you. You were finished in one blow!”Ferb’s eyes instantly turned red when he heard those words. All he felt right now was immense humiliation.“I don’t believe this! This isn’t true! Die, y

    Meanwhile, inside a comfortably decorated room on the fourth floor of the White Palace were Bianca and Quinn. They were half-naked on a huge water bed as they played around with each other.“Tsk, tsk, Quinn. It has only been a few days and your skin is looking better than before. Tell me, what products have you been using…“Also, why do I get the feeling that your boobs look bigger…”“Stop it! Mine aren’t as big as yours.”“I won’t believe it until you let me touch them…”“Hey, stop it…”They kept teasing each other until they finally fell back onto the bed while breathing heavily.Bianca asked curiously, “Tell me honestly, Quinn. Is Chase really your fianceé?”“Yes, he is. I have no idea what my grandfather was thinking when he decided this for us. I’m so annoyed by this.”Quinn sighed heavily, and there was an exasperated and moody look on her pretty face.“You look like you don’t really like him, but I think he’s a pretty good guy. He’s good-looking, and he…” Bianca blin

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik

    "Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a

    Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It

    As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single
