Inside the car, both women’s faces were covered in blood, and they were motionless.Three muscled men in suits and helmets opened the door. One of them exclaimed, “Wow, they’re really lucky to still be alive…”“What should we do now? Kill them?” another man asked.“No!”The man in the lead shook his head and said, “Bring Norris back with us. We’ll hand her over to Mr. Horton to deal with!”…Half an hour later, Bianca was taken home by someone sent by the Coopers.Chase was preparing to return to Imperial Dragon Bay when he suddenly received a call from Laura. “Come over here right now, Chase. We have something to tell you!”She hung up after that, and Chase hailed a taxi to rush to the Turners' residence.He had just walked into the door when Laura pointed at him and started scolding him, “You damned troublemaker! What did we do to deserve this? It’s not enough that you gave us trouble once. You’re doing it again!”Even Henry took a deep breath before saying, “You’ve really
Hudson interrupted him and said coldly, “My dad wants you to immediately break off his engagement to Riley.”Henry rejected this without even thinking twice. “That’s impossible.”“If you aren’t willing to break off the engagement, I’ll have to break his limbs and deliver him to the Quaids as an apology to Mr. Ferb,” Hudson smiled coldly as he said.Laura immediately stood up and sobbed. “Just agree to this, Henry. Otherwise, we’ll all be dragged down by him sooner or later.”“Dad, do you really want to watch my life go to waste because of him?” Riley knelt to the ground.“You…”Henry struggled with the decision.Chase suddenly said, “You don't have to hesitate any longer. I agree for the engagement to be broken off.”“But Chase, you…” Henry looked at him in disbelief.Chase said calmly, “I’ve been against this engagement from the very start. Besides, your daughter doesn’t like me. If we aren’t interested in each other, there's no need to continue with this mistake.”Laura was
It was ten at night.Elaine was in a hospital ward. She was bandaged up and sitting on the hospital bed while giving her statement to the police. She could not stop crying.That was when Bianca walked into the ward with Chase. “Office Coleman, can we have time alone with Miss Parker?”Mandy was in charge of this case, and she hesitated. In the end, she left the ward to Bianca and Chase.Elaine struggled to get out of bed. “Miss Cooper, you have to save Miss Norris…”Chase looked her up and down and noticed that Elaine only suffered from minor physical wounds. She was not seriously wounded.“Don’t get agitated.”Bianca quickly stopped her and said, “Tell me exactly what happened. How did Quinn go missing?”She had just returned home when she received news of Quinn going missing after an accident. She immediately informed Chase about it and rushed to the hospital.Elaine wiped away her tears and told Bianca everything that happened during the accident.Bianca’s expression chang
Before anyone let their imaginations run wild, the Quaids immediately released a statement claiming that they had nothing to do with both accidents. They also mentioned that Ferb Quaid had his limbs broken by a thug.After releasing the statement, the Quaids took the opportunity of having all that attention to announce Arthur’s 70th birthday celebration.…It was nighttime at the Quaids' residence. Arthur was looking darkly at Dean. “Useless bastard! You’re all useless! You can’t even take care of a girl and a good-for-nothing rascal!”“Please don’t be mad, Mr. Arthur!”Dean fell kneeling to the ground. He trembled while he said, “We utilized five men and two cars, but we didn’t expect all five of them to fail at their jobs.“Fortunately, three of them fell off the cliff and died while another two were run over by a car. The Coopers and the Norrises have no evidence against us even if they suspect us…”“Dad, I want to use the shadow guards against that Collins boy. He broke al
Sam knelt heavily on the ground. “I deserve to be punished, sir. There seems to be some mistake with the information I received. I only found out today that besides the seven girls, there was another woman who survived the fire as well.“It seems like she had worked as a caretaker for Green Hills Orphanage back then and was in charge of the washing, cooking, and cleaning.”Chase felt hope in his heart. He quickly asked, “Is her name Julia? Julia Radley?”“Yes. That’s her name, Julia Radley.”Sam immediately nodded and said, “She survived the fire at the orphanage, but her face was burned. And it seems that she went crazy after that. She has been hidden away by the Quaids all these years at Oswald Sanatorium.”Chase was agitated upon learning the news.It was Julia Radley!He could never forget how Julia had treated the children like her own back when he was still at Green Hills Orphanage. She washed and cleaned for them for free and would even spend money to buy delicious snacks
She spoke while knocking her head onto the ground. Her forehead started bleeding profusely.Chase raised an eyebrow. His tone became softer. “That’s enough. Get up. I promise to treat your father, but I need to get to work right now. Anything else will have to wait until I’m done with work.”“That sounds good.”Evelyn cried with joy as she stood up. “Thank you, Dr. Collins.”“This is my contact number. Please call me once you’re free. I’ll come to pick you up.”She gave him a name card respectfully before driving off.Chase soon arrived at La Fleur.The security guards informed Edward of his arrival the moment Chase stepped into the company.Edward hung up the call in his office, and a cold smile appeared on his face.From the moment Chase and Riley broke off their engagement, he had been itching to kick Chase out of the company.From his point of view, it was easy for a sales manager to handle a country bumpkin.Raymond, Anna, and the others looked forward to what was about
Edward thought Chase had gotten scared when he saw him staying silently, and it only made Edward feel gleeful about it.“Everyone knows that Benson Group is the leading company when it comes to South River City’s luxury items. They have a strong influence in the market and own numerous physical stores.“The new cosmetics our company has just pushed out are not well received in the market, which is why we still have 500,000 sets left unsold in our inventory.”At this point, he sneered at Chase and said, “Your job is to get Benson Group to sell at least 50,000 sets of our new product.“I’m giving you three days, and if you don’t manage to sell 50,000 sets in three days, pack up and leave!”When Edward announced this, everyone looked at Chase either gleefully or sympathetically.This job was too difficult to accomplish, and it was almost impossible to get it done.They had tried to reach out to Benson Group before to promote the new cosmetics, but they ended up getting thrown out.
“We’re having the treatment here?” Sherman was taken aback. He asked, “Dr. Collins, don’t you need a quiet space to prevent others from interrupting you?”“That’s not necessary.” Chase shook his head.“Do you need me to lie down?” Sherman asked again.“That’s not necessary either.”“Well… what do you need me to do?” Sherman was bewildered.“You just need to open your mouth.”Sherman got even more puzzled, but he opened his mouth as instructed.Chase took out a plastic bottle and shook out a dark, black pill from it.“Eat this and your congenital heart failure will be healed.”Sherman and Evelyn looked doubtful when they heard this.It was because they saw the bottle Chase was using to keep the pills. It had the words ‘Insecticide’ written on it.He was using a bottle that was used for insecticide to keep his pills? Was he not afraid of accidentally poisoning someone?Also, what was the thing he had taken out from it? It was so black, and it looked like someone might die fro
"Who did this?!" Doug looked around angrily.Chase stood up and glanced at Doug. He saw that Doug was only a stage-one martial god."Did you do this?!" Doug glared ferociously at Chase.Chase shook his head. He did not really want to talk to Doug.A lowlife like him was not good enough to talk to Chase."Hmph! You have no idea what's good for you. I'll kill you today!" Doug roared coldly.He pulled his sword out from the sheath."Is death what you're looking for?"Chase narrowed his eyes."Haha! My big brother is almost here. Kneel and beg if you know what's good for you. I might consider sparing your life.""You talk too much!"The look in Chase's eyes was cold, and he gave Doug a nonchalant glance. Such a character would not affect him much. Chase was not interested in this man at all."You…"Chip watched all of this with fear in his wide eyes. "How dare you hit me?! My big brother won't let you get away with this.""Shut up!"Chase gave him a backhanded slap that land
A smile broke out on Chase's face. Such a quality pill made a huge difference in the attack skills of early-stage martial gods. It could even help a mid-stage martial god temporarily recover peak form.There might be some spiritual herbs in the vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect that were extraordinary, and Chase could not afford any of them with his current wealth. Besides that, he had to buy a set of suitable guides to further solidify his martial arts skills.Chase mumbled to himself, "I have to get a pill that can overhaul my bones and veins to improve my physique and make it go through a rebirth before I can continue enhancing my level."He thought about this."Die, you thief!"A roar was suddenly heard behind him.Someone in a green shirt came running toward Chase.It was a young man who did not expect Chase to move so fast. Chase lost him in the blink of an eye, and this angered the young man in the green shirt. "You won't escape me!"There was a sound of something flying
"Listen up! I won't destroy my skills because lowlives like you aren't good enough to be my enemies!""What arrogance!"A powerful negative energy exploded from the young man in black."Don't you know anyone who said that died in the end?"The young man in black waved his hand, and a black saber appeared out of thin air. It glinted with a chilling flash."A precious weapon!"Chase's eyes brightened. He had heard someone talk about the treasure vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect. This weapon seemed to have been taken from there."Die!" the young man roared, and the black saber slashed down the air.A vast sword flash shone with brilliance and came down at Chase like a raging storm that wanted to crush Chase to pieces."You're a mere martial god ant. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"Chase grunted coldly. He swept the red battle spear in his hand across at his opponent.There was a series of explosions that caused tremors everywhere. The sword flash vanished and f
"Let's go!"The bearded man stood up with difficulty while glaring fiercely at Chase. "Mark my words! This grudge between us isn't settled. I won't let you off!"With those words, the group of seven quickly retreated while supporting the bearded man. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from view.…"Did something happen here?" A while later, the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.Two young men in green robes approached, and as they took in the scene before them, their expressions froze in shock."What's going on here? I can see signs of battle. Could it be that powerful warriors were fighting here?" one of the youths asked, feeling perplexed."Wait, I smell blood! Could it be that someone was killed in a fight here?" the other exclaimed in alarm.Following the scent of blood, the two came across the bodies of several fallen guards lying on the ground. Among them, the bearded man was now barely clinging to life."It's him!"The two youths recognized the bearded man instant
"That's right! Kill him!"The remaining warriors gritted their teeth, their faces twisting with rage as they spread out and surrounded Chase.Although they were wary of Chase's strength, there was not a trace of fear in their expressions."I don't enjoy killing unnecessarily," Chase said calmly as his gaze swept across the group. "If you leave now, I promise not to harm any of you.""Stop wasting your breath!" the bearded man roared. Brandishing a long blade, he charged at Chase. "Kill him! Kill this beast!"In an instant, icy flashes of blade light sliced toward Chase.These attackers, all at the mid-stage of martial god, unleashed their sharpest attacks without hesitation. Each move was deadly and decisive, aiming to give Chase no chance to retaliate.However, Chase simply raised his palm and struck. With each punch, he unleashed an overwhelming force that shattered all the incoming blades of light.The last attacker was blasted into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood b
'This place must have more monsters. I'll return later to collect them. If other warriors grab the spoils, it'll be a huge loss,' Chase thought to himself.He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant warriors. "Scram," he said coldly.At that moment, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the distance. Eight warriors dashed forward at incredible speed, landing near Chase in the blink of an eye.These eight individuals were all martial gods, and among them were two particularly powerful elders who had already reached the mid-stage of martial god.The two leading figures radiated the most imposing aura. One wore a purple crown while the other had a thick beard and piercing, sinister eyes."Where's Lysander? What happened to him?" the bearded man demanded."He's dead," Chase replied indifferently."What?! Who dares to kill him?!" The bearded man erupted in rage, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Chase.The other warriors were equally shocked. Lysander, an early-stage m
Lysander's body trembled as he gathered all the martial god energy within him, channeling it into his legs. He unleashed a flurry of kicks, each imbued with the force of his energy.At that moment, Lysander appeared like a masterful fighter. His movements were sharp and relentless.Each kick was faster than the last, and every punch carried a force that could shatter mountains as it slammed into the wild tiger's abdomen.The tiger howled in pain as its massive body slid several feet to the side. Its stomach was dented and bleeding profusely.However, Lysander's situation deteriorated rapidly. His body was drenched in blood, and his injuries became critical.The tiger lunged again, its jaws clamping down on Lysander's shoulder with a sickening crunch. Bones shattered, and blood sprayed in all directions, soaking his clothes."Help me!" Lysander cried out desperately."Run! Just run!" shouted the remaining martial artists who had not gotten far.The scene resembled a nightmare, l
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
