"Get lost!" Chase smoothly dodged Annie's grasp and uttered those two words coldly.Annie's smile instantly vanished. Feeling somewhat insecure, she asked, "You didn't come here for me?""Do you think you're that important? Stop dreaming," Chase replied, prepared to move past her as she tried to keep pestering him."Do you know where you are? What happened yesterday in the mall was one thing, but today, you dare insult me in Kayden Manor? Are you looking for trouble?" Annie's voice grew louder, catching the attention of several guests.The man who had been with Annie earlier quickly walked over. "Kid, being noticed by my sister is already a great honor for you. I advise you not to be ungrateful and just comply with her."He spoke confidently, clearly accustomed to his sister's whims.Hearing the man's words, Chase realized this was the protagonist of the banquet—Alan Kayden, the eldest son of the Kayden family.Looking at the man in his early 30s with the aura of a true master of marti
After three muffled thuds, everyone thought Chase was done for.Instead, Chase said coldly, "Since you're busy now, I'll come back later."He then turned to leave."Huh?" The crowd then noticed that it was not Chase but the three guards who were lying on the ground. Everyone turned their attention back to Chase."Kid, who exactly are you?" Alan finally realized something was wrong. He leaped forward and blocked Chase's path."You hurt the Kaydens' guards and think you can just leave? Dream on."Alan lunged at Chase, aiming a claw-like hand at his waist."Mr. Kayden himself is making a move. That kid is done for.""Yeah, everyone in Capital City knows that Mr. Kayden's Dragon Claw Technique is unrivaled among his peers. Even if that kid could defeat three meridian-opening masters, he won't stand a chance against Mr. Kayden, a true master of martial arts."The onlookers were curious about how Chase managed to beat three meridian-opening masters. Now, they were watching with eyes
As Chase hovered in midair, he heard the crowd's discussion, and his expression turned icy. Initially, he felt that his approach of coming directly to ask questions might have been somewhat rash. Now, he believed he had been too lenient.At that moment, Alan attacked again.Chase's eyes grew cold, and instead of dodging, he clenched his fists. As Alan's claws neared his face, Chase punched forward, aiming straight at Alan's clawed hand.To the onlookers, it appeared as though Alan had successfully grabbed Chase's fist."That kid is done for! Mr. Kayden just used his Dragon Claw Technique to grab his hand. His arm is as good as crippled," one person remarked."Yeah, but the kid should feel proud. It took Mr. Kayden three moves to subdue him," another added."That's if he survives boasting about it. Now that he's fallen into Mr. Kayden's hands, his chances of living are slim," a third noted.The young true masters of martial arts in the crowd discussed the scene while a few marq
The old man was stunned when he heard Chase introduce himself.He said coldly to Chase, "You still need to explain yourself for barging into the Kaydens' residence and wounding our patriarch even if you are Master Collins!"Chase shrugged and said indifferently, "I never planned to wound him. He was the one who wouldn't let me be and insisted on killing me."Alan was speechless. His face turned pale as he pointed at Chase. "If… If you had told me you were Master Collins, I wouldn't have attacked you!""Do you mean to say that I should die at your hands if I'm not Master Collins?" Chase asked.Alan had no idea how to reply. He pointed at Chase. "You…"He passed out just like that.The old man held back his pain when he saw his patriarch pass out and channeled true energy to Alan. He said to Chase after that, "Why are you here at the Kaydens' place today, Master Collins?"Chase turned to look at everyone and said nonchalantly to them, "I'm Chase Collins, and I'm here at Capital C
Chase ran all the way out of the Kaydens' residence while Hubert went after him close behind.It forced Chase to use every fiber in his being to escape because he knew that if he was caught, it would be the end of him.He flew high into the air, but no matter how hard Chase ran, he got caught a few miles in the air."Why did you run when you saw me, Chase Collins?" Hubert stopped Chase but did not attack him. He smiled instead.It was freezing several miles in the air. They could see the vast Capital City below their feet if they looked down."You were coming after me. Of course, I'd run.""Why would I come chasing after you if you didn't run?""Alright, fine. Let's leave it at this. Why did you stop me, sir?" Chase quickly stopped this unending questioning and asked Hubert.Chase did not think that Hubert would come after him relentlessly just to take revenge for him breaking Alan's arm."That's a pointless question, isn't it, Chase Collins?""You need to explain things clea
"Hahaha! It's too late for you to try to escape, young man. Tell me where the Collinses' treasure is or I'll make sure you wish you were dead!" Hubert stopped putting up any pretenses when he saw Chase realize something was wrong. He decided to show his true colors, and his domain filled the entire air. Both their figures vanished several miles high in the air."This was all an act. Did you do this on purpose?" Chase knew that he had fallen into Hubert's trap and asked coldly."You're right. Everything started at the Kaydens' residence. Do you think a marquis of martial arts like you can really escape that far from me? It's because I wanted this opportunity for myself that I allowed you to escape this far. "To be honest with you, the Kaydens aren't the only ones with such a dagger. A few other influential families have one of their own too. It's used to verify your identity. Do you think that no one has been paying you any attention since you left Dragon Tiger Mountain? "I've b
In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”
