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
The next moment, Bianca went to look for Chase and reached her pretty arms out to him. There was a fiery look in her eyes as she said, “May I have the next dance, Mr. Collins?”The hall turned silent instantly.Everyone was stunned.Bianca had rejected the invitation of so many talented young men just to invite Chase for a dance.Michael and the others instantly looked upset.Humiliation!What a great humiliation!They were no better than a country bumpkin!However, they were tongue-tied when they saw Chase frown and say, “I’m sorry, I don’t know how to dance.”There was a commotion in the hall.How dare he reject Bianca’s invitation to dance?!The look on the other young men's and Michael’s faces turned even more upset.They were dreaming of having Bianca, but Chase seemed not to care about her. This was like a vicious slap to their face.Everyone’s eyes were filled with murder, and they wished they could tear Chase apart!Bianca was not angry at being rejected. Her pret
When Willow and Cyril saw Walter attack, they both thought he had acted too recklessly. As expected, alarms blared throughout the Worthingtons' ancestral home.Warning lights flashed wildly as the guards swarmed out of the compound like ants from a nest.Chase stared in disbelief.In the programming world, there was a popular principle known as the Duck Test. If it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, looked like a duck, and pecked like a duck, then it was probably a duck.This so-called ancestral home, aside from its exterior resembling a military base, had military-grade alert systems and personnel. By the duck principle, without a doubt, this was a military base."Is this ancestral house hiding some kind of secret? Why is the defense so tight?" Chase asked Cyril.Cyril was equally stunned by the scene. "My mentors just told me the Worthingtons' ancestral home is very important. I don't actually know what's inside… But now, it seems I underestimated how much it means to the
In Walter's understanding, even among ape-type beasts, it was nearly impossible to move so effortlessly between high-rise buildings using only physical strength—let alone doing so with such speed, like Chase just did.Willow, being a practitioner focused on soul-based and spiritual techniques, had also trained her body somewhat recently. However, she was nowhere near Walter's level and definitely far below Chase's.When she sensed that Chase had surpassed her even while she was fully employing both her movement techniques and vital energy without using any vital energy at all, she went numb inside."Chase is just a genius. I can't compare…" she said to comfort herself.In the end, even with her top-tier body movement techniques, she arrived at Cyril's location more than ten minutes later than Chase. Seeing everyone already waiting on her, she felt slightly embarrassed."Sorry, I was too slow.""It's fine. We were just taking a break anyway. What's ten minutes?" Chase waved it off
Chase and his group arrived at the rooftop of a tall building next to the Worthingtons' headquarters."That whole building over there belongs to the Worthingtons," Cyril said, pointing to the rooftop across from them where the giant words for 'Worthington Group' were displayed.For Willow and Walter, this was their first time seeing the high-rise buildings of modern society. Everything felt fresh and fascinating. They were curiously scanning the surroundings.Chase glanced at the crowds below and frowned. "This isn't a good place to fight them. There are too many civilians around. One misstep and it'll be a disaster.""Is that a problem?" asked Walter, the Water and Fire Two-Headed Giant Python. Although currently in human form, he still carried a beast's mindset and did not see anything wrong with the idea.Cyril, hearing Chase's concern, immediately understood he did not want to harm innocents. However, Walter, as Chase's contract beast, seemed surprisingly indifferent to human
In the Worthingtons' headquarters, Ricky looked at Dominic, who was still stunned from the earlier battle, and shook his head.Dominic clutched his throbbing head and asked, "Is there really no way to get all this weird junk out of my mind?""To clear it out, I'd have to work with Carla and treat you for nearly a full year. And that's only if we return to the nether realm. Here? It's practically impossible," Ricky snorted."You're a peak martial nirvana cultivator, and you've already mastered the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist, a top-tier yellow-ranked technique. You even have the Two Evils of Hell by your side, so why did you insist on fighting that kid one-on-one? Wasn't his destiny aura bright enough for you to realize who you were dealing with?"After explaining the difficulty of healing him, Ricky could not help but scold Dominic in a tone full of frustration. From his perspective, their side had been at a disadvantage ever since entering this so-called Dark and Light Mineral Ore.
"Aren't you going to help your companion?"Cyril pointed at Walter, whose massive python body was still twitching on the ground."Oh, he'll be fine in a bit," Chase replied calmly.He knew Walter had just been frightened by Silly Husky's soul-based attack.At that moment, Chase finally grasped the full extent of Greedy Wolf's power. The next time he encountered Dominic, he would make sure the man paid dearly.He began reciting the Tranquil Mind and Spirit-Clearing Mantra, dispelling the lingering effects of Greedy Wolf's soul attack from Willow and Walter.As for Cyril, he managed to recover on his own, which did not surprise Chase. After all, Cyril was the protagonist of this world."Just now, were we trapped in some kind of illusion left by the enemy?" Willow, still shaken, finally snapped out of it and recalled the terrifying scene."No, that was a special soul-based attack from my Greedy Wolf blade. Sorry about that," Chase offered an unusually rare apology.The indiscrimi
Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec
Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho
This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s
The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
