Just as they were about to make their move, a loud bang resonated.The two skinny doormen were sent flying into the banquet hall. They had turned into corpses. This sudden scene startled everyone present.After recognizing the newcomer as Chase, Sam quickly cautioned, "Sir, be careful!""How dare you?!"The two men in the banquet hall were enraged, and they charged at Chase.Chase instantly moved beside Sam, shielding him from the assailants before they could react. He helped Sam up and checked him for injuries. Then, he turned to face the remaining two men in the hall."Jayden, he called that man 'sir.' Could it be—""It must be him. How else could he have so easily dodged our attacks?" the two men whispered among themselves."Master Collins, right? We're from the Martial Arts Alliance. Since you're here, this will be easier."Quickly have your lackey vacate dozens of his best rooms. Many of our brothers from the Martial Arts Alliance want to come and watch your challenge
If Chase had not been there, the South River City Hotel would have changed owners.The look in Chase’s eyes turned increasingly cold after listening to Sam’s explanation.It had to be the same with the Coopers.How brazen of them to threaten Chase’s people!At the thought of Julia and Myra still inside the restaurant, Chase got Sam to rest and recuperate while deciding to observe the situation silently. He went off to meet up with Julia and Myra.…“Hi, pretty lady. My name is Jayden Sheldon, and you are…?”This man was Jayden Shelman.After escaping from the hotel’s rooftop, Jayden got his juniors to quickly contact the elders while he kept watch at the hotel.He did not expect to see a gorgeous woman in the hotel’s restaurant. She looked pristine and pure, and he could not turn his eyes away from her.A woman like that would be particularly exciting to have.Myra looked at the unwelcome guest in front of her and said coldly, “I’m Myra Kollins. Is there anything you need?”
When the people nearby saw this, everyone immediately made space and gathered around them instead.That was then when Chase arrived at the restaurant.When he saw everyone gathering at his table, he wanted to squeeze through the crowd to get to it.“Stop squeezing to the front. Mr. Jayden is conducting business. Just watch and don’t infuriate him or you’ll regret it.”Someone from the crowd stopped Chase in an attempt to get Jayden’s attention.“Get out of the way. I’m with them."The person immediately made way for Chase when he heard this.“Julia, Myra. Are you alright?” Chase quickly approached them and sat down. He held each of their hands and comforted them.He was particularly worried for Julia as she seldom went out since being cured. He was worried about her getting agitated.“We’re fine, Chase.” Julia held his hand tight. She was trembling slightly.It was clear that she had been frightened.Myra leaned in close to whisper in Chase’s ear.Jayden watched as this gor
Chase raised his hand and slammed down to break Jayden’s arm. He said frostily, “Your broken arm is a reminder of your punishment!”Julia was present, and it was not the right time to kill anybody.“Get out and don’t let me see you again!”Jasper escaped in a fluster as he held on to his broken arm.Everyone knew that Jayden must have met someone powerful.If Jayden could not afford to offend him, no one would dare continue to stay around and anger Chase. All of them left with lowered heads.Chase got Myra to take Julia home after their meal. Despite feeling worried, Myra had to take Julia away from there.It was not long before Jayden returned with his arm propped up with a plank. He came with a huge group of people. An elderly man in a suit led the group.“That’s him, Master Eunus!” Jayden pointed at Chase from afar as he said to the old man.“You’re the young man called Collins who will be dueling Wilfred Harrigan? You're the one who stopped the Martial Arts Alliance from b
“Gosh! Master Eunus is unleashing the Monastic Sword. Collins is dead for sure!”Jayden was an elite at the Martial Arts Alliance. He knew what sort of divine weapon Archie was using.“That’s right. With Master Eunus’ true master of martial arts cultivation paired with this divine weapon, even an enemy who's a stage-three true master might not necessarily be his match!”His other disciples began discussing this.“You’re not worthy of using a sword in front of me!”Chase sneered when he saw this. He pulled out a sword with the aura of an ancient relic.“This is the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword! You’ll be dead in one move!”The next moment, Chase raised the sword in his arm as he made a slash.An exceptionally sharp sword aura instantly left the sword.A crisp sound rang in the air.The Monastic Sword broke at the sound, and Archie fell from the sky while still holding onto half of the sword. There was a clear bloody slash on his chest as blood spurted out while he fell.He h
There was a body in the middle of the living room that was covered by a piece of white cloth.It was the body of Archie.“Jayden, hurry up and contact Jasper. Even Master Eunus is dead. Who else can avenge us now?!”People from the Martial Arts Alliance had rushed to South River City to see Archie for the last time. They were angry and full of sorrow.“Shut up!”Jayden glared at everyone at the mention of his older brother, Jasper.The person who suggested it lowered his head.Two elites in one family.They were the envy of others outside the family.However, only Jayden knew the truth well.He had given up so much just to catch up to Jasper’s footsteps.There were times when a thought would cross Jayden’s mind.If only he was the only son of the Shelmans and Jasper never existed. How wonderful would that be!The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to prove his worth.In fact, Jayden had decided to come to South River City on his own when he found out about the f
Gary had been trying to get into Riley’s good graces for so many days, but she had never looked at him that way before.Chase said with a small smile, “I’m her ex-fiancé!”Gary was taken aback by Chase’s answer.However, he snapped out of it when a thought crossed his mind. He said, “Hmph. What are you so proud about? You’ll still have to watch the fight by the side of the river. The boats and ferries on Saber River have been fully rented by various powerful parties. "I have a friend who managed to get a ferry. I’ll take you to the middle of the river to watch the fight later, Riley.”Gary distanced himself slightly from Chase after that, as if afraid Chase would want to get on his ferry too.That was when a voice was heard from the side as a ferry slowly arrived at the ferry crossing. “Are you here to watch the fight too? Let’s watch it together.”Before Chase and Myra could reply, Riley said, “Yes, we are!”“Come on board, then.” Ivy Cranston waited until everyone got on boa
Riley and Ivy searched around as well.Chase walked past everyone at the crucial moment and reached the front of the ferry.“Are you crazy, Chase? He’s calling out for Master Collins, not you. What are you doing trying to get yourself involved in this? Do you want to die? Don’t drag us down with you!”Riley quickly grabbed Chase. She was afraid that Chase would bring trouble to everyone on the ferry.“I’m Master Collins!” Chase said with a small smile.“Nonsense! If you’re Master Collins, then I’m Saint Joan of Arc.“I know you’re a medical expert, Chase. Everyone you treat calls you Master Collins, but this is where all martial arts powerhouses are gathered. A doctor like you shouldn’t embarrass yourself here,” Riley said angrily.“Hahaha! He just wants to show off, Riley. We should stay away from him in case he drags us down with him.” Gary took the opportunity to sow more discord.“Master Collins isn’t someone for you to insult. I won’t hold back if you continue acting so ri
