Xiaolin Showdown: Chase Young Novels & Stories

Xavier asked. “Yes, they are. His half-sister and their maid. I have his biography on my palm. And I know almost everything about him. I waited for years for this day to come. I worked with him, getting to know almost everything about him. Now that it's coming as I planned, I'm fully ready for him,” Shadow said. “I understand. I am always with you in everything. We will fight until we win. I promise you that,” Xavier said. Just as they were discussing it, their phone buzzed, and it was a message. “Keep Sloane out of this. If you want me, come to me directly.” It was Chase.

At this moment, they were gloating. Chase was so arrogant just now, and now, he was finally going to pay for it! Liliana, too, was among them. She wore a sinister grin. It was as if she could already see Chase begging for mercy, and she became even more excited. "Haha, Chase, you little bastard! You're finished! You're dead!" After all, Hero was a master at the martial lord level. How could someone as weak as Chase possibly be his match? "Hmm?"

Thinking of loan sharks striked fear through her heart. If they could be somehow free from them! The doorbell rang and she jumped in fright. It was past midday. Almost 3 in the afternoon. Who would come at such an odd time? With that though, she went to the front to open it. Ethan had also come out of his room curious to see who was at the door. Eloisa would not come at this time. Yoonah opened the door to her worst fear. The loan sharks were standing there. She silently led them inside. She had forgotten today's date. Ethan quickly went to call Eloisa. He knew her mother could not handle them alone.

" Vincent interrupted, ruining their fantasies. While they continued to discuss their new boss, Chase wondered what Liam Chevalier looked like. Whatever he looked like, Chase just hoped to have a good relationship with his new boss. —

Ash shook his head, indicating a negative answer. There was nothing else in the phones and they had also completed the task they laid down to help Nelly track down her enemies. They weren't much but they were powerful men involved too. Easton Landers, Ivan Landers, Ethan Stratford and Aria Dean. “Including Amon,” her inner voice said.

"Way ahead of you, babe." Too fatigued to entertain the idea of shoplifting at the moment—and recognizing that neither of us will yield when it comes to paying—we decide to split the bill evenly as soon as we reach the checkout lane, dividing the cost of groceries to $18.56 each. We settle the bill and, after a brief intimate encounter in Max's car—why not?—we return to his place, opting to watch "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" as the first film of our 'N*****x and Chill' marathon for the night. "Damn. Why is it always the minority that ends up getting killed off first?" Max comments as a hefty anaconda emerges from the water and swallows Dr. Ben Douglas whole.

My ribs screamed in protest, but her laugh was right in my ear. "You okay?" she asked, hovering over me just like she had on the ridge. "Yeah," I breathed. "Better than okay." Behind us, a real game had broken out without any nets—just two piles of snow for goals amid a wall of shouting and cheering. A few older wolves from the packs drifted down to watch before stepping out onto the ice themselves. Not to judge, but to join in. Dren from Blackriver, who’d lost his brother, was patiently teaching a Frostfang kid how to grip a stick, while Mara raced a rogue girl named Tova end to end.

"There wasn't a snake there. I tried to tell you something. And since you guys wanna do something crazy, I'll just leave here." With that, she walked back into the corridor, left us. My eyes moved to Barb, then to Bella. They both narrowed their eyes at me, biting their lips. "Food war," Barb declared. "At the count of three, we shall begin." She raised her fingers. "One, two…" and snapped them in the air. "Three, fucking go!" Agitated, I grabbed the meatballs, slurping on them crazily. Bella and Barb battled for the little corn dogs, as well as the burnt ends. As soon as Barb spotted me eating the meatballs, she gasped, and struggled to take them before I did.

Leah interjects, giving her a warning look. Chloe rolls her eyes but complies. “Fine, sorry, I didn’t mean to pry.” “Let’s talk about you instead,” I say, eager to divert the attention away from me. “Any interesting guys in your life lately?” Chloe chuckles, her eyes lighting up. “Ah, well, last week I hooked up with this guy. He was cute, but man is he desperate. He’s been chasing me ever since, even though I ghosted him.” I can’t help but laugh as I give her a playful punch in the arm. “You’re so mean!”

“She pushed me! I didn’t do anything to her!” “Stop lying,” Lyle says bluntly, his tone sharper now. He doesn’t raise his voice, but the authority in his words makes Fiona flinch. Fiona’s eyes widen further, and she stares at him like he’s betrayed her. “I’m not lying! She grabbed my wrist and—” Lyle holds up a hand to silence her, then gestures toward the corner of the room. “There’s a CCTV camera right there,” he says, his voice cool and controlled. “Do you really want me to pull the footage, Fiona? We can all watch exactly what happened.”
