“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
When he saw Chase’s face, Ferb’s expression froze. Alarm, shock, and also disbelief appeared on his face at the same time.He let out a devilish growl and stared at Chase in resentment. “It’s you! I'll never forgive you even after I’m dead, you bastard!”“Die, then.”Chase smirked coldly and snapped Ferb’s neck.On the second floor of the basement, Quinn looked at the two burly men approaching her with a look of horror on her face. “W-What are you doing?”“What are we doing?”The man in the lead looked at her lewdly and said, “Miss Norris, everyone says you’re one of the four beauties of South River City. You truly live up to your title.“Even though Mr. Ferb said he wants to have you to himself, we’ve been watching over you the past few days.“So, shouldn’t you give us some benefits?”He emphasized the word ‘benefit’, his eyes filled with greed.“Y-You wouldn’t dare!” Quinn’s face turned pale as she started struggling.“Behave!”The man in the lead slapped Quinn hard acros
“Grandpa Gideon, the Quaids who killed you are all here. You can rest in peace now.“I know there are more people hiding in the dark, but it’s okay. I'll find all of them and then send them to hell to repent their sins.”Chase brought out the alcohol he bought while he was on his way over and placed it in front of the grave before leaving. …The first thing Quinn said upon waking up at the hospital was, “Rocky…”Once she saw where she was, she realized she was lying on a hospital bed.Meanwhile, Mandy, already in her uniform, was standing by her bed. “Quinn, you’re awake.”When she saw that Quinn was about to sit up, Mandy quickly helped her up. “Don’t move. The doctor said you have a fractured arm. You probably got it during the accident.”“Mandy, w-why am I here?” Quinn looked at the ward anxiously.Mandy told her what happened after she passed out.She said reluctantly, “Quinn, I almost got the masked man. I didn’t think he would…”“He left?”Quinn felt very frustrated,
Mandy felt sad looking at Quinn’s ashen face. She did not expect Quinn to have such a tragic past.She shook her head and said, “You didn’t commit any crimes, so why should I arrest you?“Your brother is the one who violated the law, so he should bear the consequences. We won’t falsely accuse the innocent, and we also won’t spare anyone who has committed a crime.“Quinn, if I manage to catch your brother again, I won’t go easy on him. I hope you can understand.”Manday hesitated before she spoke. After all, Quinn was her good friend, so she did not want their friendship to be affected.Quinn’s face turned very pale. Of course, she understood Mandy’s dilemma.Since things had escalated to this point, Quinn could only dry her tears and say, “Mandy, did you save the mentally unstable woman who was locked in the basement with me?”“Yeah, she’s in the hospital. I’ll take you to her.” After Mandy said that, she brought Quinn into the car.More than ten minutes later, they arrived at
“Miss Julia, don’t worry. I'll cure you.”As Chase looked at Julia’s sleeping face, he sobbed out the words, “After that, we’ll go find the rest of them. We can look after you when you’re old.”It was now nighttime.What happened to the Quaids shocked the entire South River City. Everyone could not believe the huge changes.Right now, everyone was wondering who the man in the bronze mask was.Mandy also got an order to arrest the murderer in a month so that they could calm down public opinion.At the same time, in a forest overseas, a white tiger weighing over 500 kg was staring fixedly at a man in black about ten meters before it. He was Tony Lutton.The white tiger seemed to have felt the dangerous air around Tony. It looked like it was about to pounce as it let out an earth-shattering roar.Tony stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, “You’re unlucky to have run into me, you beast.”Perhaps the white tiger understood him, so it roared and pounced on him,
Riley’s expression changed slightly as she said, “Dad, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why should I apologize to him?”“What did you say?”Henry roared, “You bullied Chase with Edward and the others. How dare you say you didn’t do anything wrong? Apologize to Chase right now or I won’t approve of your relationship with Edward.”After Henry said that, Edward’s expression changed as well.Riley’s expression changed, and she bit her lip. The next moment, she looked angrily at Chase and said, “I-I’m sorry.”She could not hold back her tears of grievance anymore. She turned around and ran back to her room upstairs to lock herself in.When did she bully Chase with Edward and the others? Chase refused to fit in, so that was why he was targeted.“Riley…” Edward wanted to follow her.However, Henry stopped him and said to Chase, “Chase, I asked you here to announce something to you. I’m about to marry Riley to Edward. What do you think?”“I wish them all the best.” Chase’s eyes froze be
Laura said excitedly, “This is great! Edward, if you're really the young man the Coopers will promote, we'll immediately hold a wedding ceremony for you and Riley.”Henry could only go along with what they were saying without giving any input. After leaving Henry’s house, Chase called Evelyn and asked her to sign the contract with him.He only wanted to do things with a clear conscience. When he first got to South River City, Henry had protected him multiple times. He would think of this as returning a favor to him.When he was about to return to his villa in Imperial Dragon Bay, his phone rang.It was from Quinn. “Chase, where are you?”“How did you get my number?” Chase asked in surprise.“That’s not important. Just tell me where you are.” Quinn sounded a little irascible. “My grandpa is awake, but he… He looks like he’s not going to make it, so I want to cancel our engagement while he’s still conscious.”“Alright, I’ll send you my location.” Chase sent her his location once
“Your grandpa is in very bad condition. I have to treat him now.”Chase stabbed the needle into Charles’ throat. At the same time, he passed some true energy into Charles’ body to prolong his life.“You’re crazy!”Quinn pushed him away and roared, “Why are you treating him when you don’t know anything? I'll never spare you if something happens to my grandpa!“Go! Get lost! I never want to see you again!”Chase smiled without saying anything. Then, he turned and left the villa.“Grandpa, how are you? You're scaring me…”Quinn lay before the bed. She was devastated as she looked at the unconscious Charles.At this moment, Charles’ doctors arrived.After examining Charles, the old man leading the group was surprised. “Huh? This is so strange. Mr. Charles’ organs have all deteriorated, but there's a magical power prolonging his life.”“Dr. Clocke, is there any hope for my grandfather?” Quinn asked nervously.Nathan Clocke thought momentarily and said, “Miss Norris, perhaps there
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
