Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to step up.Chase’s smile turned cold. “What’s wrong? No one wants to step up?“I didn’t expect Basalt to be filled with cowards. You don’t even have the guts to step up!“Well, I guess I’ve overestimated all of you!”There was a huge commotion over this comment as everyone was angered by it.It was fine to call them useless, but it was not acceptable to insult Basalt.That was because they held Basalt in very high regard, and the organization was more important than their lives.A huge, muscled man stood out from the crowd and sneered as he said, “Listen, Collins. My name is Deacon Erwing. I’m the first person who isn’t impressed with you. What are you going to do about it?”“Wow!”“You’re awesome!”Everyone began cheering.The look on Iris' and Finn’s faces changed. “Deacon, you…”Deacon was just a normal member of Basalt. It was brazen of him to step forward and speak that way to the chief instructor.Chase put up his hand
Chase and Deacon had arrived at the shooting range while deciding who would go first.Every Basalt member followed them and they stood at the side to watch the upcoming competition between them.Iris, who was the judge, said, “Each of you will be given six bullets. After you’ve finished shooting, we’ll decide the winner by the most accurate hits.“Are there further questions about this?” She could not help glancing at Chase.“So, all I need to do is to shoot all six bullets in the bullseye?” Chase asked.Everyone found this statement quite arrogant.He was just a beginner. It would be lucky enough for him to even hit the target, much less have all six bullets shot right in the bullseye. What was he thinking?Iris gave an angry laugh. “Yes. You’ll get points as long as you hit the target, but it’s best that you get the bullseye. It’s a ten-ring bullseye.”Chase nodded.Iris turned to Deacon when she saw that Chase had no other questions. “You can start.”“Wait.”Deacon sudden
It would be difficult to earn respect if he lost this challenge.Iris immediately got someone to move Chase’s target 25 yards away before she shouted for him to start.Chase stopped her and said, “Hold on. Move that target 200 yards away instead.”Everyone heard him.They thought they had heard wrong.What?200 yards away?This man had to be crazy.He was using a handgun, not a sniper rifle. There was no sighting telescope to be used either.Iris’ pretty eyes widened as she stared at Chase. “Are you sure you’re not crazy?”No one in the military had ever used a handgun to shoot a target 200 yards away before.To put it simply, it was an impossible feat!“Just do it,” Chase said casually.Iris took a deep breath as she ordered for the target to be moved two hundred yards away.“Mad. He must have gone mad.”“I think he knows that he can’t win against Deacon, which is why he’s just throwing everything he can out there.” “Let’s just watch what happens.”Everyone began dis
Everyone’s expressions turned blank at Cyclone’s words.The shots were made 200 yards away!Not only did all five bullets hit the bullseye, but they were even shot precisely into the bullet hole!This was unbelievable!However, Chase managed to do it.This outcome shocked Deacon and all the others to the core.Chase had only just learned how to use the gun!This was quite clear at his first shot.Deacon was stunned. He kept mumbling, “How is this possible? How is this possible?”Finn and Iris were shocked as well, but their shock quickly turned to joy when this sank in.Chase had shut everyone up with his abilities.He looked at everyone’s expression and asked casually, “Did I win this competition?”“Yes. Yes, you did,” Iris nodded immediately as she replied.Chase looked at Deacon. “Are you convinced by my abilities now?” Deacon’s shoulders fell. He looked like he had suffered a huge blow.The next minute, he took a deep breath and knelt on one knee in front of Chase.
All four of them were meridian-opening masters and were halfway to becoming true masters of martial arts. They were also known as midway true masters!That was why Chase suppressed his cultivation to a midway true master as well.“Attack!” Cyclone was fully prepared to fight it out. His arms reached out, and his fists aimed straight for Chase’s main vertebra acupoint.The main vertebra acupoint was at a joint position on the spine. Hitting this acupoint could temporarily paralyze a person.Meanwhile, the other three were also giving their best in the fight. They came toward Chase in a swift attack.They had planned the attack well. As long as everyone attacked Chase from all sides, he would be at a loss as he would not know to defend himself in which direction.Chase did not panic. He took a light step forward and dealt a punch. The punch looked soft, but it was enough to blur Cyclone’s sight.It felt like the entire world was left with only Chase’s punch.Both their punches
The sky had turned dark.There was a glint in Chase’s eye while on his way back in the car.“Basalt is truly an organization that Bactria is heavily invested in. Anyone from Basalt is a powerhouse among powerhouses when they’re out there.“Take Deacon, the shooting genius, for example. If a war broke out, he would be able to take many lives. A true master of martial arts would also take a bullet from him in a moment of carelessness!“There are also the Four Heavenly Kings. These four people are excellent fighters and have good hearts and personalities. They'll definitely become true masters of martial arts if groomed well.”Chase nodded slightly and quietly promised himself, “I won't shame you now that you’ve chosen me, Basalt.“The day will come when I’ll make sure the name of Basalt is known all over the world. The name will strike fear in every country’s heart and elevate the formidability of Bactria!”…Chase soon returned to the villa the Kollins had given Myra. The mome
Chase walked out of his room.Myra’s pretty eyes lit up. She went forward to size him up and said, “You look good. You look really handsome. Your clothes fit really well, and they're just the right size.”He felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but she next said to him, “Too bad. I wonder which woman will be lucky enough to have you?”Chase was rendered speechless.Myra burst out with a laugh. She grabbed his arm and said, “Come on, my handsome Mr. Collins. Let’s head out to find some pretty ladies for you and get yourself a wife.” 20 minutes later, they arrived at the door of Camland’s biggest high-end hotel, the Platinum Hotel.Chase and Myra got out of the car. Sterling, Renee, and the rest had been waiting. They immediately approached Chase and Myra.Renee complained in a huff, “What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for a long time.”There was blatant jealousy in her eyes when she said this.It was because Myra was too beautiful today. Her charm and beauty had com
Myra felt a little reserved when faced with everyone’s gaze.It was because she knew that the young people here were elites of Camland’s influential families. She did not fit at all when it came to her background.Chase grabbed her hand tight and whispered in her ear, “Don’t be nervous, Myra. Just be yourself. This is your world tonight.”Myra’s heart warmed. She nodded gently and followed behind Sterling and the rest. She found her seat and sat down.“I’m going to the washroom,” Renee said and left without looking at them.Sterling went to the side and began chatting with people he knew.Everyone was waiting!They were all waiting for Vince to be here!The party was organized by him tonight. He was the man of the hour!As the most influential family in Camland, the Watersons were powerful enough to make everyone wait for them.Music began to play. Many young men and women began dancing on the dancefloor.Even so, most of the men were staring at Myra.If this were a normal
