Edward and the others watched in disbelief as Bianca helped William up the stage.It was her!That was the woman that they had insulted previously!What… What was she doing on the stage? She looked like she had a close relationship with William too!Could she be from the Coopers?This chilling thought suddenly occurred to them as the realization hit them at the same time.That was when they saw Bianca helping William up the stairs while saying, “Be careful, Grandpa.”It was like a bomb had suddenly gone off in the minds of Edward and the others. Their minds were buzzing from the revelation.She really was a Cooper!Edward’s face turned pale, and he could not stop trembling. He almost peed his pants.He finally understood why Frank was so angered to the point that he had to be hospitalized. It was because he got sick from being too shocked.Raymond and Anna fell sitting to the ground as they trembled.The woman they had insulted was Bianca Cooper!They had called her a slut
“What are you being all arrogant about when you’re just a country bumpkin? It doesn’t matter that you’ve managed to get a woman like Miss Cooper. She might just be playing you for a fool.”“Edward is right,” Anna said coldly. “Miss Cooper is a noblewoman. How is it possible for her to be attracted to a loser like you? Stop being arrogant when you have nothing going on for you.“Don’t forget that Edward’s father is the owner of Triumph Hotel. He’s the supplier of all the drinks in this appreciation dinner.“Even if Edward did say something offensive, the Coopers would never give us trouble over a loser like you.”Edward calmed down when he heard her words.That was when Riley turned to look at Chase and said, “I’m really curious, Chase. How did you manage to butter up Miss Cooper?”“Me? Butter up Bianca Cooper?” Chase laughed softly.“Isn’t that what you did?”Riley scoffed. “Why would a renowned person like Miss Cooper even give an ordinary man like you a second look? You must
Everyone turned to look at Chase as he stood up.Edward jumped in shock when he saw what was happening. “What are you doing, Chase? Sit down.”What a stupid man. He did not even understand what was going on in this place.William and many other renowned public figures were eagerly waiting for the appearance of the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate.Those who were not aware might actually mistake this man for the miracle doctor.“Don’t be stupid, Chase. Don’t drag us down with you even if you’re looking to humiliate yourself.”Raymond and Anna were almost crying. There was intense pressure from being stared at by so many prominent figures.It was fine if Chase was seeking humiliation, but he should not take them down with him.Riley was furious about this. She stared coldly at Chase and said, “Are you crazy, Chase Collins? They’re inviting the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate up the stage, not you.”Chase smiled as he looked back at the stares. “William Cooper is inviting me on stage. H
“I’m not stirring up any trouble. They’re the ones inviting me up the stage,” Chase said with exasperation.“They’re inviting the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate up the stage, not you!” Quinn said furiously.“I am the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate,” Chase replied matter-of-factly.“You…”Quinn was almost crying from anger.Did he think he was the miracle doctor just because they shared the same surname?She thought that Chase had gone crazy. There was no other reason why he would speak nonsense like this.Chase did not continue speaking to her as he headed directly for the stage.Elaine got anxious. “What are we going to do, Miss Norris? That rascal isn’t listening to you. He’s heading for the stage.”“What else can I do? I can’t just run up there and drag him down to beat him up, can I?”Quinn smiled helplessly. She took a deep breath and said, “All I can do now is hope that Grandpa Cooper will let him off on account of me and Bianca and forgive him for this.”She looked up at
Quinn felt like she could not breathe.She could not stop thinking about both of Chase’s identities. It only made her so dizzy she almost passed out.Quinn did not believe it.She could not even accept it.However, the truth was right in front of her. She had to believe it.She stumbled and fell a few steps back. She almost fell to the floor.Quinn never dreamed that the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate whom she had been searching for all this time was Chase.Memories of how she had insulted Chase numerous times flashed in her mind, and her face turned pale immediately.Elaine, who was by her side, was left with her mouth agape. It was so wide open that one could fit an entire fist inside.That country bumpkin was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate?!This was such a crazy world!Meanwhile, Chase looked at William and Bianca and said, “There's no need for such formalities, Mr. and Miss Cooper.” William straightened up and smiled at the audience as he said, “Believe your eyes, eve
This man was supposed to be Riley's, but she had pushed Chase into the arms of another.Otherwise, Riley would have been able to be part of this proud and honorable moment.She turned to look at Edward. She saw him cowering among the crowd, trembling like a rat hiding in the dark.One man stood high on the peak of the world as he was revered by renowned figures.The other was like a total buffoon and looked like a clown.There was a vast difference between both men.William led Chase to meet Quinn. “Dr. Collins, this is Mr. Norris’ granddaughter, Quinn Norris.”He had no idea that Chase and Quinn knew each other, so he introduced them accordingly.Chase picked up a glass of red wine and toasted Quinn. “Nice to meet you, Miss Norris.”Quinn picked up the glass with a complicated look on her face and said nothing. She was looking at him with shock and incredulity. However, most of all, she was feeling regret.“I told you before that I was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate, Miss
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice in shock when they heard the person say it out loud.Quin walked out slowly from the crowd.Bianca did not expect her to object so publicly, and the look on her face changed. “Quinn, you…”“I’m sorry, Bianca.”Quinn looked at her apologetically and said, “I know this is wrong of me, but I have to object to this.”“Why?” Bianca looked upset as she questioned Quinn.She liked Chase, and Quinn knew it. Quinn had even told her before that she had no interest in Chase.Yet, now she was objecting to their marriage. It made Bianca sad and angry.Quinn did not reply to her but turned to look at Chase. “Can I speak to you in private, Chase?”He saw the pleading look in her eyes, so he nodded. “Sure.”Chase and Quinn walked out of the manor under everyone’s gaze.When Chase saw that they were alone, he asked, “What did you want to talk to me about?”Quinn turned back to look at him with mixed emotions. She bit her lip gently and s
The most excited among them was Edward.Chase was a stupid man. He actually turned down a chance at climbing up the social hierarchy.The woman he turned down was Bianca Cooper, the dream girl of many men.From his point of view, Chase had already offended the Coopers by rejecting them. It would be difficult for him to continue staying in South River City.It did not matter if Chase was the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate. He was just a doctor. How could he fight against a wealthy and influential family?Quinn gave a guilty glance at Bianca and asked, “Can we leave now, Chase?”“Let’s go.”Chase nodded. He left Cooper Manor along with Bianca.Meanwhile, in a black bus situated in the suburbs of South River City, many passengers were crouched on the floor with their hands over their heads. They were looking at three men and a woman in front of them fearfully.The men and the woman were searching everyone’s bodies for anything valuable. They even pulled out the gold teeth of the bu
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
