“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
Quinn said brusquely when she heard this, “I think you’re head over heels for this guy! I don’t think Chase can achieve that in his entire life, much less a month! At most, he’ll just be an average person living an ordinary life.”Bianca chuckled and suddenly grabbed one of Quinn’s boobs. “Just say it if you don’t dare to have this bet with me.”Quinn quickly protected her boobs, saying in exasperation, “Fine. I’ll make the bet. What would you like to bet on?”“It’s like I said before. If Chase becomes an important man in South River City, then I win.“You’re not allowed to steal Chase from me after he becomes my man, and you can’t let him get between our friendship.“If I lose, I’ll wash your clothes for free for a year. What do you think?”Bianca blinked at Quinn at this point.Quinn felt challenged when she saw the confident look on Bianca’s face. She immediately said, “Alright. I’ll make this bet with you, but let’s be clear, you can’t use your resources or the Coopers’ reso
The Quaids were here!Everyone could feel their heart sinking.The sound of rapid footsteps followed, and dozens of men in black suits suddenly came rushing through the door. Every one of them was tall and muscular.When they appeared, the entire hall was filled with tension.There was murder in the air!These muscular men were top-notch fighters who were highly paid by the Quaids. Among them included wanted criminals from overseas. Some of them were bloodthirsty fighters from the underground boxing arena.After they made their entrance, an intimidating middle-aged man slowly appeared from behind.Everyone in the hall began trembling, with no one even daring to breathe.That man was Horton Quaid!He was the oldest son of Arthur Quaid, the old man of the Quaids. He was the father of Ferb and Jacob Quaid, making him the patriarch of the Quaids!When Horton appeared, the muscular man in the suit who was holding Ferb quickly said, “Mr. Horton, Mr. Ferb’s limbs and spine are broke
“Yes, Miss Cooper.”The reply was thunderous. The bodyguards she had brought along immediately stood protectively in front of Chase. They were face-to-face with the dozens of men brought along by Horton.There was instant silence in the hall.Everyone was stunned to see Bianca defending Chase, and there were looks of shock on everyone’s faces.Why was Bianca from the influential Coopers defending this man?The look on Horton’s face turned extremely dark. “What do you mean by this, Bianca? Are you protecting the rascal who crippled my son, Ferb?” Everyone turned to look at Bianca. They thought that she would back off after finding out the truth of the matter.However, her answer astonished everyone present.“What if I am?” Bianca tilted her head to the side and sniggered. “Mr. Horton, are you planning to hurt the man I love and trying to stop me from protecting him?” This shocked everyone.Did they hear it right? Did Bianca just say that Chase was the man she loved?Every
As the voice spoke out, a woman in a long, white dress came walking in.She was tall and slender, absolutely beautiful. She was just like a beautiful snow-white orchid that outshone the women in the room.This was Quinn from the Norrises!Everyone was astonished to see her.Horton looked darkly at her. “It’s you, Quinn. What did you mean by that?” “Mr. Horton, it’s Bianca’s birthday today, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to be bringing men here to break someone’s limbs.”Quinn smiled warmly.Horton grunted coldly. He pointed at Chase and said, “This rascal crippled my son, Ferb. It’s only right for me, as a father, to punish the person responsible.“Hand him over to me and I’ll leave with my men. You can continue being here in peace.”“What if we refuse to hand him over?” Quinn asked in the same warm manner.Her words echoed in the room.Everyone was stunned.Why would two women from influential and wealthy families defend Chase?What did he do to deserve this?
The pharmacy attendants scoffed and sneered at the scene.Chase paid no attention to their foolishness. Without hesitation, he freed Myra from her restraints and supported her as they moved away from the commotion.During their brief confrontation earlier, Chase had already assessed Myra's condition. Her injuries were severe—her Sea of True Energy was shattered, her bones were fractured, her organs were damaged, and her foundation was nearly destroyed.If he had not arrived in time, her life would have been at serious risk.As Chase used his skills to heal Myra, he noticed something peculiar. He could detect a faint yet familiar aura on her.The realization sent shockwaves through his mind."Myra, what on earth happened to you?" he murmured softly while brushing her hair gently.At that moment, he sensed movement from the pharmacy.Turning around, Chase spotted Ryker walking toward him with an air of arrogance. The youth's eyes narrowed into slits, as though nothing in the worl
"Huh?"Hearing this, the young attendants in the pharmacy were stunned.This pharmacy belonged to the renowned Valley of the Medicine King within the martial arts domain. It was said to be backed by a martial monarch, a saintly master of both medicine and martial arts!The so-called Dr. Larsen was a descendant of the Larsen family. He was celebrated for his extraordinary knowledge of medicine and unparalleled medical skills."Where did this brat come from, causing trouble and disturbing the peace? Get out of here before I lose my patience!"A young man dressed in a blue brocade robe glared at Chase, scolding him harshly. This young man looked to be around 17 and had a handsome and refined appearance. He exuded an elegance befitting a noble scion.However, his expression was icy, and his eyes were sharp, reflecting intense malice and murderous intent."Mr. Larsen, you don't need to concern yourself regarding this matter. Please forgive him," said the green-robed guard captain out
Chase unsheathed his sword and struck with precision. A flash of sword light, sharp and unstoppable, swept through the air and pierced one attacker's chest."What?!"The remaining two were stunned, unable to believe the boy before them was far more formidable than they had anticipated."Die!"One of them charged forward, swinging a blade that sent a dazzling crescent of energy hurtling toward Chase's throat. Meanwhile, the other flanked him, launching a sneak attack.The two attackers coordinated flawlessly, their strikes merciless and intent on ending Chase's life.Chase raised his sword to block the fatal blow, then countered with a swift thrust.Blood sprayed as the one attempting a sneak attack failed to react in time, and his heart was pierced. He collapsed in a lifeless heap.Chase smirked coldly, withdrawing his sword as he stepped back. His gaze swept over the two corpses, and he shook his head.These black-clad men were weak—far inferior to Bryson. Their techniques we
"You..."Bryson's pupils contracted, his eyes brimming with terror and regret.Chase's expression remained cold. "It's over."Turning his gaze toward an elder in a black robe who had appeared unnoticed, he asked, "Were you sent to silence me?"With an arrogant look on his face, the elder sneered, "Surrender willingly and perhaps you'll suffer a little less."Chase's body erupted with thunderous lightning, illuminating him like a God of Thunder descending upon the mortal realm. With a powerful motion, he hurled Bryson's lifeless body aside.The black-robed elder coughed up blood as he staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with shock. Meanwhile, Bryson's body lay crumpled where it had landed, now lifeless."What overwhelming strength!" The elder's eyes narrowed, but he quickly composed himself and scoffed. "I admit I underestimated you. But don't think for a second that you can defeat me!"With those words, the elder's figure shot toward Chase. His right palm sliced thr
Hearing this, Bryson let out a cold laugh. "Oh? Myra Wallace is a direct descendant of the Kollins family? This won't be an easy task.""Don't worry," Bentley reassured him. "As long as you handle this, the rewards will far exceed your expectations."Bryson remained silent for a long while, then sighed and nodded. "Fine, I'll do it.""Thank you, Mr. Cabral," Bentley said gratefully."You're certain she's just a normal woman?" Bryson asked with a frown.Bentley nodded firmly. "Absolutely. From what I've gathered, she's just an ordinary person.""Very well. In that case, I'll prepare my men. Wait for my signal," Bryson replied, standing up and walking out of the hall.He headed directly toward the inner yard, moving without interruption until he entered a luxurious palace."Bryson?" A stunning young woman in a red dress was playing the cello. Hearing his footsteps, she quickly turned around.Seeing that it was him, her cheeks flushed with a shy, charming smile. "Bryson, what b
"Who sent you?" Chase asked in a deep voice."W-We were sent by World Villa. I-It was the Supreme Elder who ordered us to find you," the burly man stammered. His face was pale with fear. He was desperately trying not to say the wrong thing and provoke Chase's wrath."World Villa?" Chase narrowed his eyes. A cold glint flashed within them.He feared no one. However, Myra was in a weakened state, and he did not want her entangled in further trouble.Moreover, it was clear that World Villa was targeting him specifically. Chase resolved not to bring additional danger to Myra.After a moment of contemplation, he decided to show mercy—for now."Get out of here!" he barked. "And tell your boss this, I'll settle this score sooner or later.""Y-Yes, of course! Thank you for your mercy!""Thank you! Thank you!"The three martial monarchs bowed repeatedly before fleeing in disgrace.Meanwhile, Chase remained in place, lost in thought."Chase, are you worried that World Villa will trace
Myra nodded obediently. Then, she took out a pendant and handed it to Chase with a solemn expression. "Chase, keep this emerald pendant safe. It'll protect you.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow.The pendant was clear, almost transparent. A faint flame seemed to flicker within it, radiating a searing heat."This is incredible," Chase remarked in admiration.Then, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes, sending a chill down Myra's spine."This pendant is the only keepsake left to me by my family. I can't lose it," Myra said seriously. "But I'm giving it to you now!"Chase shook his head. "This pendant is far too valuable. I can't accept it."Myra quickly waved her hands. "No, no, it's not some treasure. If you encounter danger, just crush it.""If that's the case, I won't decline," Chase replied with a slight nod and put the pendant away.Seeing him accept it, Myra sighed in relief, and her gaze softened with affection.…The next morning, Chase slowly opened his eyes as sunlight
Faced with a barrage of arrows raining from the sky, Myra felt her scalp tingle, and her body stiffened in fear. There was no place to hide and no way to escape.At that moment, an overwhelming sense of impending death washed over her, and her heart sank into despair.Was this how her life would end?However, just as she prepared to face the inevitable, a sudden twist of fate occurred.A streak of ghostly blue sword energy appeared, instantly slicing through all the arrows. The energy then morphed into a radiant beam of light, cutting a brilliant arc as it charged directly toward the commander."Who's there?" the commander barked, his expression growing grim.Without hesitation, he drew the saber at his waist and swung with all his might to deflect the incoming strike.The sharp clash sent him hurtling backward, and his feet carved deep grooves into the solid ground as he struggled to stabilize himself."So powerful…" he muttered as his expression darkened.Taking advantage of
Myra let out a sharp cry and formed a hand seal. Her figure blurred, vanishing for an instant before reappearing directly in front of her opponent.Her sword pierced the throat of the leader. She then delivered a fierce kick to his abdomen, sending him flying backward. Then, she pulled out her bloodstained blade without hesitation. Her movements were as swift as the wind as she dashed out of the secret chamber.However, to her dismay, another martial arts overlord awaited her outside."Damn it!" she cursed under her breath."Little girl, kneel, and I might spare your life!" the overlord sneered while wielding a massive longsword that he swung with relentless fury.This martial arts overlord was no ordinary opponent. His mastery of the longsword was impeccable, and his strikes were powerful and precise. An ordinary martial arts overlord would have already been overwhelmed or killed against him."Get lost!" Myra growled, her voice filled with determination.She channeled all he
