When everyone looked over, they saw one of the Wallaces’ subordinates running over.“Old Mrs. Wallace, bad news! Bad news!”“Okay, I got it. Stop panicking.”Agatha was panicking as well. However, with Liam’s words, she was not that scared anymore.“Come with me. We’ll go meet the Watersons.”She grabbed her cane and then led the family to the villa’s door.This time, more than ten people were present. They were all blocking the entrance to the Wallaces’ villa.Vince’s arm was in a sling as he roared at the door, “Wallaces, come out!”“Mr. Waterson, what is this about?” Agatha smiled and asked Eugene even when she already knew the answer.Eugene laughed in anger. “Old woman, stop pretending. My son, Vince, asked your family to attend the banquet out of kindness. But not only did you not appreciate the gesture, you even beat him up!“I demand an explanation, or I’ll raze your family to the ground!”After Eugene said that, the family members behind him immediately displayed mu
“Okay!”Witherspoon nodded coldly and walked over. He seemed to be looking at the Wallaces in pity as he said, “It's a shame that you’re all going to die.”“How shameless of you! I’ll fight you!”Liam was furious. In the blink of an eye, he had thrown a punch at Witherspoon.He threw this punch with all of his might. The vigorous energy of a peak strength-dissolving master whizzed in the air.Everyone backed away quickly.However, Witherspoon smirked in disdain. “You’re merely a strength-dissolving master and yet you have the nerve to show off in front of me.“Get lost!”Liam’s expression changed when Witherspoon slapped him. He did not have time to dodge and was sent flying across the room.“Liam!”“Liam!”All of the Wallaces were shocked when they saw this.Their hero was defeated!How was this possible?At this moment, Eugene and Vince were laughing.Liam stood up from the ground and wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips. His gaze was filled with fear as he
Inferno was shocked by Chase’s presence. He almost lost his composure.‘It’s that bringer of misfortune! Why is he here?’ he wondered.He would never forget how Chase destroyed the four of them, leaving them battered and bruised.At this moment, Chase slowly walked out of the crowd.When the Wallaces saw this, their eyes were filled with schadenfreude.At the same time, Vince had a cold smile on his lips.To him, Inferno was only close to Liam, so he would only protect the Wallaces.He would not care about this kid, right?“Chase…” Myra wanted to face this with Chase, but the Wallaces stopped her.“Chief…”Inferno’s face twitched when he saw Chase. After he inhaled sharply, he was going to address Chase as 'Chief Instructor.'However, he stopped himself before he could finish speaking.He just remembered he signed a non-disclosure agreement with Basalt, so he could not reveal the chief instructor’s real identity.After Myra struggled to escape their hold, she knelt before
“Thank you!” Of course, Myra was satisfied. She was so grateful that she kept thanking Inferno.She did not think such a respected person like Inferno would be so kind to her.Inferno then looked at Chase. When he did not see any expression on Chase’s face, he let out a sigh of relief and said to Liam, “I should go now. You don’t have to send me off.”Then, he turned around and ran away.Even though the chief instructor did not say anything, he was surely pissed. If Inferno stayed longer, he might get beat up again.Liam quickly ran after him and sent him to the villa's entrance.“Inferno, thank you for your help. My family owes you a favor,” Liam said gratefully.To him, Inferno only agreed to scare the Watersons off because they were friends.“It’s fine.”Inferno waved his hand and suddenly asked, “Right, is the woman I talked to just now a Wallace as well?”“That’s right, she’s my sister.” Liam nodded.After Inferno heard that, he was looking at Liam with more respect in
“What is it?” Agatha asked impatiently.Liam took a deep breath and said, “Inferno told me just now that he'll promote Sterling to an official Basalt member later.”After he said that, the hall erupted into chaos.“Did I mishear him? Is Sterling getting promoted to an official member?”“Gosh! Does it mean we’re going to prosper?”Everyone turned to look at Sterling with envy.Meanwhile, Sterling was stunned.He felt like he had been given a free lunch and felt dizzy.Even Myra was looking at Sterling with envy.However, unbeknownst to everyone, Chase frowned.He did not like Sterling.Why would Inferno allow him to be an official Basalt member?He would have to teach that guy a lesson later.How dare he misuse his power at the expense of ethics?When Agatha finally registered what was happening, she shuddered and said in disbelief, “Liam, i-is it true?”“Yes! Inferno even asked Sterling to report himself at the base tomorrow before he left.”Liam nodded and then reveale
“Myra, do you want to join Basalt?” Chase asked.Myra was a little stunned. After that, she said without even thinking, “Of course! It’s Basalt, after all. But I know I’m not worthy of that.”She was self-deprecating.“It’s good that you know your worth and know you don’t deserve it,” Renee chuckled.“Alright, as long as you want to, I can make that dream come true,” Chase promised.When Sterling heard what he said, he was amused. “Who do you think you are? Do you think you’re Basalt’s chief inspector? Do you think you can let anyone join Basalt?”“Sterling, ignore him. He must think that since Inferno saved him just now, he’s friends with him.” Renee laughed while clutching her stomach.Myra did not believe Chase either. In addition to everyone’s ridicule, she felt her face turning hot.“That’s enough!”Liam ended the argument and looked at Chase. “You’re Chase, right?“Even though I shouldn’t pay attention to a nobody like you, you’re so annoying.”Liam’s gaze was intimida
At night, Myra prepared a lot of food for dinner. In addition, there were also two bottles of red wine.Chase looked at Myra busying herself in the kitchen and the delicious food on the table. He said, “Myra, that’s enough for us. You don’t need to make more.”“Wait, this will be the last one.” Myra was drenched in sweat.Soon, she placed the last dish on the table.When Chase saw the sweat on her forehead, he said in distress, “Myra, there’s only two of us. We can’t finish all of these.”“We can put the leftovers in the fridge for tomorrow. We didn’t have the time to sit down for a proper meal after we reunited.”Myra wiped her sweat and urged impatiently, “Chase, try the food.”Chase grabbed his fork and put some meat in his mouth. Immediately after, he praised, “It’s tasty!”“Really?” Myra’s eyes lit up.“Of course! Not only are you gorgeous, but you’re also amazing at cooking. Anyone who marries you will be so blessed,” Chase said sincerely.Myra’s food was bland, probabl
“This is for you.”Myra filled her glass again and looked softly at Chase. “Even though you haven't told me about your past experiences, I know it’s been tough for you.“I’m sorry for not looking or caring for you immediately.”As she said that, she covered her mouth and started sobbing. She could not control her tears anymore.Chase walked over and patted her shoulder. “How are you to blame for this? It’s fate that we got separated.”Myra turned and held him tightly, sobbing. “I’m so sad. You were just eight…”“Don’t be sad. I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Chase patted her back and comforted her.Even so, his eyes also turned red.Myra nodded. She still had her arms around him. After a few seconds, she asked, “Chase, do you know why I want to join Basalt?“It’s because I want to protect you.“Even though your martial arts cultivation is very high, society isn't the same now.“Even if your martial arts cultivation is high, you still can’t compare with technological advancements.“
