Chapter 5

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“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 three days. That emerald must not fall into the hands of the Quaids. We’ll take the opportunity to teach them a minor lesson.”

If Chase had guessed right, that piece of emerald was taken off him when the old orphanage director had found him by the road.

According to Gideon, the emerald had something to do with Chase’s identity. In order not to lose it, he had kept the emerald on Chase's behalf and had planned to return it when Chase turned 18.

Unfortunately, a fire broke out at the orphanage when Chase was 11 and everything changed.

Sam nodded. “By the way, sir, I’ve also managed to find out that seven little girls survived the fire from that day…”

“What did you just say?” Chase froze and stared at Sam.

“I swear with my life that there were seven girls who survived because they hid inside a dry well during the fire, but they disappeared after that.

“It’s as if someone had erased all evidence of their existence.”

“Seven little girls…”

Chase clenched his fists. He thought, “Could they be my sisters? They’re still alive?"

“Look into it. Continue following any leads you have on this and report to me the moment you find out something.”

Taking a deep breath, he made a silent promise to himself, “Don’t worry, my sisters, I’ll find you! You protected me back then, and now, it’s my turn to shield all of you from harm!”

Half an hour later, Sam walked Chase to a taxi in a respectful manner.

Meanwhile, Quinn had just got out of a Bentley and witnessed this scene.

She paused in her steps as an astonished look crossed her face.

“What’s wrong, Miss Norris?” Elaine asked in bewilderment.

Quinn took a deep breath and said, “I think I just saw Chase Collins being politely sent off in a taxi by the kingpin of South River City.”

Elaine was taken aback. She quickly looked in the direction Quinn was staring at and said, “I don’t see him. Is it possible you mistook him for someone else, Miss Norris? Chase Collins is a country bumpkin. It’s impossible that he would know someone as important as the kingpin.”

Quinn contemplated this.

Elaine was right.

That man was just a country bumpkin. How would he know the kingpin?

Quinn shook her head. “I might have made a mistake. Forget about it. Let’s go see him. I’ll have to convince him to introduce the miracle doctor to me, no matter what.”

Ten minutes later, Quinn finally managed to see Sam.

“Miss Norris, may I know what brings you here?” Sam stared at her emotionlessly.

Quinn hesitated before saying, “Mr. Collins, I heard that you suffered from the last stage of cirrhosis five years ago but was treated by a miracle doctor. I was wondering if that story is true.”

“It is.” Sam nodded subtly. A look of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

He was diagnosed with cirrhosis five years ago and had lost all hope. Just as he was about to die, Chase appeared and saved him. Otherwise, he would be gone by now.

    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.

    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

    The woman quickly explained, “Mr. Collins, I’m the deputy CEO of La Fleur. My name is Sandy Lawson. You can just call me Sandy.“Our company had a shareholders' meeting yesterday, and Mr. Sam Collins from Emgrand Group announced that he has transferred 75% of the company’s shares to you. That would mean that you’re the biggest shareholder and our company’s CEO as of yesterday.“He has shared your photos and basic information with me and informed me to assist you in any way.”Chase replied, “Understood. I’m in the company right now. I’ll contact you if I need anything.”In the deputy CEO’s office, Sandy immediately called her secretary over after hanging up. She instructed, “The newly appointed CEO, Mr. Collins, has arrived at the company. "He's probably here on an unofficial visit. Inform all department heads immediately to watch their employees and display their best attitudes at work. I’m warning everyone here in advance. If Mr. Collins is unhappy with anyone, prepare to leave

    "I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha

    After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just

    "Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h

    This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi

    Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we

    Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle

    "Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump

    "Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was

    Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect.
