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?
“Of course!”“Don’t worry, Miss Cooper!”Everyone quickly nodded. They would not dare spread this in public even if Bianca had not warned them. The Quaids would not let them off if they did. After all, this involved their pride.“Alright. I officially announce the commencement of my birthday party.”The atmosphere immediately got lively the moment Bianca made this announcement.Someone quickly presented a few exquisitely wrapped gifts to her. “Miss Cooper, I got someone to bring these cosmetics back from overseas just for you. They aren’t really expensive and only worth a few million. I hope you’ll like them…”“Miss Cooper, I heard that Mr. Cooper has just recovered. I managed to get this hundred-year-old wild ginseng for more than eight million. I hope you can accept this.”“This diamond necklace is known as ‘Angel’s Tears’, Miss Cooper. I hired a famous designer to custom-make it for you. It’s worth 13 million…”Everyone began to approach Bianca one after the other to give he
She was not greedy for expensive gifts, but she was curious about what Chase would give her.After all, she did not give a second glance at all those priceless gifts she had received.Everyone watched as Chase took out a bracelet and gave it to Bianca. “I made this myself. Even though it doesn’t look good, it'll be able to protect you six times.”The moment everyone saw Chase’s gift, they burst out laughing.It was just six rough little emerald pieces strung together by a red string. It did not look nice at all and looked more like something found in a garbage bin.“Hahah! Am I seeing things? That’s the gift he prepared for Miss Cooper?”“That’s such a terrible gift. Even if you can't afford anything expensive, you should at least spend ten or 20 dollars to buy a nicer-looking bracelet. It'd look better as a gift.”“Even a roadside stall would be too embarrassed to sell garbage like that. I can’t believe he's giving it to Miss Cooper as a gift.”The entire hall was filled with
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
Chase frowned, looking cautious.From his understanding of monsters, only a monster with golden fur, a giant, muscular body with great strength, and could spit flames would be at this level."Could this monster be another form of a powerhouse?"Chase quietly called himself stupid at this point. If it was really a powerhouse, there would be no ferocious beast here.This particular creature must have entered the land by accident and bumped into Chase coincidentally."But this monster is too powerful. I won't be able to take it down by myself."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.If his guess was correct, there had to be other powerful beings in the forest besides this ferocious beast. Otherwise, this beast would not be prowling around this area."I'll fight it out!"Chase made the decision after some thought.Chase stepped hard on the ground and leaped into the center of the valley.Another angry roar was heard from the other side. It was a black bear that was about seven
A brilliant sword flash glowed, and Chase instantly retreated with a burst to put some distance between them.A muscular man in darkness surrounding him stood there with a blade. He was staring sinisterly at Chase. The robe covered the man completely, hiding his face. Chase could sense immense pressure from the man."A stage-four martial god!" Chase narrowed his eyes as he observed the man.From the aura emanating from his man, Chase determined him to be a stage-four martial god with a powerful physique and spirit. His physique was extremely strong."You became a stage-four martial god at such a young age. Not bad! Too bad you happened to bump into me!"The black-robed man sneered. His right hand, which was yielding his blade, was sliced. Blood gushed out from it, drenching the black iron blade.There was caution and grimness in his eyes. He did not expect a young stage-three martial god to be slightly more powerful than he was.Strong wind began to gale, and Chase's clothes b
Chase could not help gulping at this thought as his heart beat wildly. "I'll go for it!"He clenched his teeth as he made the decision and headed toward the Flood Dragon.It was nighttime, and he was in front of a quiet cave. He stood out front with a grim look. Chase observed the place for a long time. After confirming there was no danger, he entered the cave.A giant corpse was lying right in front of him—the Flood Dragon.Its body was cold and missing some scales. It was covered with blood stains, looking like it had died a horrible death.The Flood Dragon's body was cut up badly. Only its abdomen was in perfect shape. The Flood Dragon must have protected it before dying.Chase crouched in front of the dragon. He reached out to look through its skin, and a translucent green crystal appeared in front of him."This must be the Flood Dragon's emerald bone. The quality is incredible…"Chase inspected it carefully. This piece of Flood Dragon emerald bone must be its Life Treasure
"I'll continue slaughtering!" Chase stood up once more.Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had recovered. It roared and lunged toward Chase with terrifying power.This time, Chase's body quivered slightly, but he still managed to block the dragon's attack."Not bad. There's thick dragon energy in this Flood Dragon's flesh and blood. If I use it to refine pills, the effects would be incredible!"Chase was excited about this. It was the same delight he felt when discovering a spiritual herb. It was due to hunting a dragon and obtaining its energy.There was a deafening explosion.Chase rode on the dragon's neck while inside the valley. He had a sword in his left hand while his right hand was clenched into a fist. He was using all of the skills and techniques he had learned.Chase punched the dragon right in its eyes.The dragon was filled with pain as it threw its head in the air and howled in misery. Meanwhile, Chase swung a punch with his other hand and struck the dragon right in the
The Flood Dragon howled with pain. A piece of scale on its head was indented. It was almost crushed."Looks like the strength of a Flood Dragon's physique exceeds the limitations of an ordinary martial artist. Otherwise, I would've crushed half its head with one punch."Chase's eyes narrowed with a cold look in them. "But this Flood Dragon is too big. It's perfect for training! Die!" He roared and lunged at the dragon again.Man and creature collided. Chase continued forward to attack. His fists punched the dragon again and again.Every punch rang with a loud metallic clang. Chase punched harder and harder as he fought wilder and wilder."What sort of martial arts technique is that?"The dragon began to sense danger and turned to escape."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase grunted coldly and stepped on the ground as he leaped into the air like an agile monkey. He landed right on the dragon's back."Time for you to get down!"Chase growled as he grabbed hard on the drago
"We should team up to kill that little bastard no matter what price we have to pay!"The three remaining middle-aged men suddenly stood up. Murder was in the air."No. He isn't our target. Our target is the Flood Python. We shouldn't cross that man if he's still alive." The old man tried to stop them."Damn it!"Everyone was unhappy about this but they also knew that if Chase was still alive and they approached him, it would only incur his wrath. Things would get complicated if that happened."Forget about it. We should let that little bastard be. Once we get our hands on that Flood Python, we'll tear him apart," the young man in extravagant clothes said unhappily."He's right. We can't let that little bastard leave the lake alive.""I don't believe an ordinary man can survive that lake. He must have sunk deep inside and drowned.""We'll wait until tomorrow to get that python and take its crystal core!""Let's go!" Everyone left the cave after discussing this. They continued
"No wonder they're an ancient lost species. They have powerful bloodlines. My power is just enough to stab this snake, but I was able to destroy the defenses of this lizard with eagle claws."Chase frowned. The bloodline of these monsters was too powerful. If it were not for the help of mystical powers, he would have lost if he had relied only on his cultivation and physique."If that's the way this is, I'll use the opportunity to improve my sword technique…"The look in Chase's eyes turned cold. His mental energy condensed into a sword aura that instantly chopped off the head of the snake.As for the eagle-clawed lizard, it tried to struggle for its life. Even though its abdomen had a hole in it, it tried to fight back stubbornly and refused to die. It even tried to escape by running into the lake to hide.However, Chase did not let the lizard have its way.Chase took a breath to swallow true energy. The lake was instantly filled with true energy that surged and boiled wildly. I
Chase's eyes widened. He knew he was no match for this enemy.Even with his current stamina, he could only explode with a maximum strength equivalent to the weight of six thousand pounds. That middle-aged man could punch through a house with one move. If they got into close combat, Chase was bound to lose."How dare you barge into this forbidden land?"The middle-aged man spoke coldly. He glanced at the corpse and blood on the ground and immediately understood what had transpired. "I'd advise you to leave right away or you'll be sure to die."Chase laughed tauntingly."You're asking for it!" The middle-aged man was enraged. He suddenly made a move and lunged forward to kill Chase.However, a bright red sword slashed through the air as it aimed for the man's throat. The man frowned and reached out to grab the blade of the sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere.The man sensed a horrifying attack on him. His hand was torn and was almost dislocated."Your physique is extraordinar
