Edward did not know where to vent his anger, so he slapped Anna across the face.“Fuck! Didn’t you hear what Mr. Hudson said? We have to get Chase back or we’re all doomed!”When he thought of how arrogant he was when he fired Chase and how he had to humbly get him back, he felt utterly horrible.Huffing, he said, “Riley, you’re the only one with Chase’s number. Call him and ask him to come back now.”“Yeah, Riley. He likes you, right? As long as you ask him, he'll definitely come crawling back,” Raymond chimed in.Even though Riley was unwilling, she had no choice but to call Chase.“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is turned off…” When Riley heard the automated voice message, her expression changed. “He turned off his phone.”“Let me try.” Edward asked for Chase’s number and called him.The call went through this time.Immediately, Edward put a smile on his face and said, “Hello, Chase. This is Edward…”Before he could finish, the person on the other end hung up.“That bast
Everyone in the villa fell silent after hearing that voice.Did they hear him correctly?Did someone say he wanted to give Arthur an urn and funeral flowers on his birthday?Also, did that person tell Arthur to go to hell?Everyone, including Arthur and his family, turned around to look out of the villa with disbelief written across their faces.Then, they saw a man with a bronze mask swaggering into the villa.That man was Chase.In his hands were a black urn and a bouquet of lilies.Even though he was wearing a mask, the baleful look in his eyes was enough to make everyone in the room shudder.At that moment, Arthur narrowed his eyes, and his face displayed an intense murderous intent.It was that man from Green Hills Orphanage!He was finally here!Soon enough, the guests snapped back to reality and yelled at Chase, “Who are you? Get out!”Chase did not say anything. Instead, he walked slowly toward Arthur.“Stop right there! Or else, we'll kill you!” The Quaid seniors
Mandy looked curiously at the mask on Chase’s face. Then, acting as though she had been given an adrenaline shot, she started murmuring, “Masked man, you're making me want to arrest you more and more.“Then, I want to remove your mask and see what you look like!”When the man next to her heard this, his face twitched.Arrest him?How? With her beautiful long legs?An urgent yet powerful applause broke the silence. “Good. Very good!”Arthur stood up.As he clapped, he said, “You’re indeed the person we’ve spent the last 12 years looking for.“We've spent so much money to train these bodyguards in secret, and each of them can fight ten people by themselves with no problem. Yet, they’re nothing before you.“I have to admit that you’ve surprised me, you fugitive.”As Arthur spoke, he smiled at Chase as if nothing was wrong with the situation.Chase smirked, baring his teeth at Arthur. “Old Dog Arthur, they say that the good die young while the bad live long to bring trouble to e
In the secret basement of Quaid Villa, Quinn slowly regained consciousness.After realizing that both her hands and feet were bound, she subconsciously wanted to scream. However, there was tape over her mouth, so she could not make any noises.‘I've been kidnapped!’ This thought flashed across Quinn’s head.The Quaids must have kidnapped her.Not only that, it was highly probable that they were the ones who arranged for the car crash. What did they want?She felt apprehensive and started struggling, but it was in vain.As she was about to fall into despair, she heard sounds behind her.Turning her head, she saw a woman with messy hair and a dirty face. She was wearing a hospital gown as she held a dirty doll. She was murmuring to herself in a corner. At the same time, she would drool from the corner of her mouth.“Hehe, Rocky, you have to be good. Miss Julia will take you to the doctor. We’re not afraid of getting shots, right?“Rocky, are you hungry? I’ll give you a piece o
“What else can this be? It’s something that'll make her sleep.”The shirtless man replied subconsciously before abruptly turning around to look at Quinn. “Y-You’re awake!”He then quickly yelled outside the door, “Boss, tell Mr. Ferb that the woman is awake!”Not long after, a burly man pushed a young man into the room.The young man was in a wheelchair as all four of his limbs were in casts.As expected, it was Ferb.Quinn looked at him coldly. “Ferb, how dare your family kidnap me!”At this moment, Ferb was not as scholarly as before. He rebuked with a malicious look on his face, “You bitch, this is what you get after crossing me for that Collins kid.“Don’t worry, you'll be my woman after Grandpa’s party. I'll enjoy you slowly. I’d like to see if you can remain so cold and arrogant then! Right, I'll also kill that Collins kid before you.”“You’re insane!”Quinn turned pale with fright.“Yes, I am insane. I’ve become insane ever since that kid crippled all four of my limbs
At this moment, everyone was shivering from fright. When they looked at Chase again, they felt as if they were looking at a dead man.The Quaids had laid out so many tricks just for one person.Surely, Chase was doomed.However, the man in question only sighed softly.“You beast, why are you sighing? Are you scared?”Horton, who was standing in the distance, smirked as he said, “If you kneel and cut off both of your arms, perhaps we can give you a quick death.”“That’s not enough. I learned a new way to torture people overseas. We can slowly cut away the flesh from all four of his limbs while he’s alive, leaving only his bones.”A cold voice was heard, and when everyone turned around, they saw someone pushing Ferb out.At this moment, Ferb looked bloodthirsty and was looking at Chase like a savage beast.Everyone felt their hearts turn cold once they heard that.That was the torture method of ancient times.Chase put his hands behind his back and said slowly, “You did so muc
It did not explode or turn into dust. Instead, Chase had slapped his head into his chest.Louie's headless body then fell backward, completely motionless.Everyone was staring at the scene in front of them without moving.Louie was a martial arts master, yet his head was slapped into his chest by a single strike?“How is this possible?”Horton’s smile froze before he started roaring hysterically.Arthur’s face twitched, and his hands that were behind his back started shaking too.Ferb’s eyes were wide with disbelief, and he looked as though he had just seen a ghost.At the same time, Leo and Lance cried out sadly, “Louie!”Suddenly, they flew backward as they rushed toward the door.“Gosh, are they running away?”Everyone’s jaws were on the floor.It was only natural that the last two Hendersons wanted to run away. The moment their youngest brother died, they felt a huge wave crashing against their hearts.Louie was an inner strength martial artist and yet he was killed ju
The bodyguards did not move and just looked at each other hesitantly.Ten million was a lot, but they had to be alive to enjoy the money!They had seen what happened to those three brothers. They died without an intact corpse!When Arthur saw this, he yelled sternly, “Go! You good-for-nothings! Even if he’s good, he’s just one person!“50 million! The Quaids will give the person who kills him 50 million!”With a great reward came a brave man. Everyone’s brains buzzed as their breathing became rapid.50 million!With that, they did not need to worry about anything anymore. They did not have to lift a finger for the rest of their lives.Moreover, Arthur was right. There were 50 to 60 people here, so they could undoubtedly take down that kid.When the bodyguards thought about that, the fear in their hearts vanished and was replaced by endless greed.“Die!”They gritted their teeth and grabbed their weapons as they moved to surround Chase.The weapons in their hands shone under
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?" H
"Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform
The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored
At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens
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
