"Then pass a message to the True Dragon for me. Tell him that I, Shale, have repented after all these years and wish to return to Bactria."The True Dragon's strength back then was truly formidable. Even after so many years, Shale did not dare to set foot in Bactria, all because of a single word from the True Dragon. He was even willing to humble himself to this extent just to return."I can do that, but what's in it for me?" Chase adopted an attitude of seeking benefits."If you agree, you can ask for whatever you want," Shale quickly promised, sensing Chase's willingness to help."I haven't decided yet. For now, I need to stay in Eastern Ocean for a while. I'll give you an answer when I return to Bactria," Chase replied after a moment of thought.It was precisely because of Chase's contemplation that Shale believed his words. If Chase had agreed immediately, Shale would not have trusted him, thinking the human boy was just trying to fool him."Very well, I'll give you time to t
"This is Chase. He'll be staying in Eastern Ocean for a while. From today on, you're his servant. You must treat him as you would treat me!""What? Lord Shale, what happened?" Hamish's eyes were filled with shock. Despite his deity's orders, Hamish could not help but ask as he recalled that his family's downfall was due to this Bactrian."No need to question. Just do as I say," Shale replied coolly, not wanting to explain."Do you dare to disobey my order?""I wouldn't dare.""Then hurry up and address him properly."Shale's casual words made Hamish's facial features contort with inner conflict. After a while, he reluctantly called Chase 'sir'.Even Chase did not expect Shale to be so generous. However, it was good. Hamish was a powerful peak stage-nine martial lord of martial arts. With him by Chase's side, they could go anywhere in Eastern Ocean.Chase grunted softly, indicating his acceptance of Hamish.Seeing this, Shale finally sent them away from this place. They reappea
"Enoch, although it's a good idea to acknowledge a master, Basalt's Collins won't consider people like us with low cultivation. His first servant is the patriarch of the most powerful family of East Capital. I'm worried he won't even give us a second look.""Epoch, we will still need to try even if he isn't willing to take us in. Otherwise, we might not be able to survive."Enoch had made the decisions.He sped up his pace to get to Chase.Chase wondered what Enoch would want him.That was when Enoch suddenly knelt on both knees."My name is Enoch Sands. I'm willing to serve you as my master, Basalt's Collins. Please take me in and allow me to serve by your side."When Epoch saw Enoch taking action, he followed suit and knelt as he spoke up, "My name is Epoch Sands, and I'm willing to serve you as my master too. Please take me and Enoch in."Chase was astonished by their actions.He was initially prepared to say his goodbye to the brothers.However, this happened instead.Ch
The journey down the mountain was very slow. It was because the road down was much more difficult and they had to wait for the Sands brothers.Chase walked at the front while Hamish walked behind him.It was not long before they heard some rustling behind. Chase knew without looking back that the Sands brothers were done packing up and had caught up to Chase.They looked funny carrying their luggage."What are all these? That's a lot of luggage," Chase asked them curiously.This evoked enthusiasm in Enoch."Master, these are all good stuff. Epoch and I accumulated all of these throughout our years on Holy Mountain. They're all spiritual herbs and spiritual medicine that ordinary people won't be able to get their hands on."Enoch's pride piqued Chase's curiosity. He poked his head out to glance at these items. He burst out laughing.Were those even spiritual medicine?Chase reached his senses out and found that they were only grade seven or eight spiritual herbs. They could n
The first thing Chase did after getting down the mountain was to get the Sands brothers to change.Hamish still looked quite proper, and so did Chase. However, the Sands brothers were completely disheveled.Their clothes were just enough to cover up their private parts.They had been living as hermits up in the mountains and did not think much about it. Now that they had left the mountain, they looked out of place with society and were more like wild men.There was a store selling apparel at the foot of the mountain. However, the Sands brothers shocked everyone inside when they stepped inside.The store owner even spoke up against them, "What are you beggars doing here? Get out."Chase immediately took out a wad of Eastern Ocean's money and flung it in front of the owner. It was only then that the owner broke out in a wide smile."Please take your time to look around and choose any item, sir."The Sands brothers changed into new clothes and even picked a few more apparel."Sir
"What's with your reaction? Shouldn't I be back?"Chase's cold reply scared Aaron so much that he jumped out of bed and plopped down on his knees in front of Chase."That's not what I meant. I just didn't think you'd be back so quickly." Aaron had broken out in a cold sweat.Chase did not want to waste any more time as he stared at the trembling Aaron."Where's the woman who came with me?"Chase had a bad feeling about Bianca's disappearance.A troubled look appeared on Aaron's face when Chase mentioned Bianca. He stammered, "She… She…"Chase immediately roared when he saw this, "What happened to her?! Talk!"Aaron did not dare to hide anything when Chase lost his temper."She was taken away by Sonar Organization." Chase was taken aback by Aaron's reply.Sonar Organization was involved?Not only that, they were even brazen enough to take her from Eastern Ocean's top triad?"And you stood by to watch while Sonar Organization took my friend away?""Basalt's Collins, those
It looked like Aaron had never revealed Chase's identity. None of the people in front of him knew who he really was.Chase would've been impressed by their courage if they knew his identity and still treated him arrogantly.That was when he heard a familiar voice."Honorable sir, how can you do this to Mr. Payne? The entire Yorels Organization won't let you off now."It was clear that Aaron was someone he held in very high regard. The man he respected had died, and the blind faith he held for Aaron had made him forget about his fear for Chase. He stood against Chase as he accused Chase along with everyone else.Chase was immensely disappointed at this. Even though Shea was an ordinary man, Chase thought he would be able to see situations clearly if he was smart enough to try to get on Chase's good side. However, it now looked like an ordinary man would just be an ordinary man. He was too short-sighted for the world.Among those dozens of men included true masters of martial art
There was a happy atmosphere back at the headquarters of Sonar Organisation.For some reason, Sonar Organization, who had always come in second as a triad in East Capital, was suddenly being thought highly of in the past two days. Even their leader had been summoned by the emperor.Every Sonar Organization member could sense something in the air.Sonar Organization was about to welcome fame and fortune.It was usually Yorels Organization that had a monopoly over such matters. It was finally Sonar Organization's turn.Their members now had more pride when walking on the streets.Yorels Organization was made up of members from all walks of life. Sonar Organization, however, were mostly made of those from renowned families.These families would send their members to experience and train in Sonar Organization before returning to hold important positions within the family.This was the reason Sonar Organization always managed to survive facing Yorels Organization despite being the t
