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
“Oh yeah?” Chase lifted his head and continued expressionlessly, “Maybe I can spare your family if you tell me who they are.”“Don’t even think about it!”Arthur did not even hesitate before rejecting Chase. “Just kill me. I’ve lived long enough anyway, and you’ll never find your real enemy. You’ll live in remorse and be faced with nightmares your entire life!“At the end of the day, you’re even more pitiful than I am. Hahaha!”Arthur cackled, feeling pleased with himself.“You’re refusing to tell me, huh?”Chase’s eyes turned cold as he grabbed Horton.“No, Dad! Save me! I don’t want to die!” Horton struggled, his face filled with terror.“Stop it!”Arthur’s face changed.Chase exerted some force on his hand, snapping Horton’s neck.“Horton!” Arthur cried in pain.“Are you going to tell me now?”Chase grabbed another middle-aged man and snapped his neck again.He was Arthur’s third son, Flynn Quaid. He was also involved in the fire at Green Hills Orphanage.“Flynn!”Ar
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
"An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe
However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi
"Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
