Chase shook his head and replied, “I wasn’t the one who bought it.”

“Huh?”

The two women were surprised to hear that.

Anna did not really believe him. “You sure keep a low profile, Mr. Collins.”

She suddenly noticed the bag in Chase’s hand, and her eyes brightened. “Do you have cash in there, Mr. Collins? I always hear about how rich people like using cash.”

Before Chase could say anything, she had taken a step forward to take the bag from him. She opened it and looked inside.

Her face turned green instantly.

There was no cash inside. The bag was filled with cans and mineral water bottles. It was dirty and smelled bad.

“It's the garbage I just picked up,” Chase explained. He had no idea whether to laugh or cry at this situation.

“Garbage you picked up?” Anna’s smile froze on her face.

“That’s right.” Chase nodded.

Anna’s expression fell immediately. “After all that confusion, you’re just here to pick up garbage?”

She wiped her hands furiously with a paper napkin as she spok

    “What’s the rush? We’re about to become colleagues soon. It’s better to get to know each other first.”A cold look flashed in Edward’s eyes. He reached his hand out to Chase and bragged, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Edward Wright, the current manager of the Second Marketing Department. I’m Riley’s colleague and superior.”Chase noticed the malicious smile on Edward’s face and knew what was going on. Chase reached out his hand as well. He said with a stoic expression, “Chase Collins.”Raymond quietly got excited when he saw them shake hands.Edward was known to have an iron grip. Raymond had once shaken hands with Edward, and his fingers almost broke. He was in pain for three whole days, and Edward had gone easy on him.This country bumpkin was about to have a taste of that.When Chase and Edward shook hands, Chase felt a strong grip on his hand.He looked at Edward. There was a taunting and expectant look on Edward’s face.Edward wanted to humiliate Chase in front of Rile

    The woman quickly explained, “Mr. Collins, I’m the deputy CEO of La Fleur. My name is Sandy Lawson. You can just call me Sandy.“Our company had a shareholders' meeting yesterday, and Mr. Sam Collins from Emgrand Group announced that he has transferred 75% of the company’s shares to you. That would mean that you’re the biggest shareholder and our company’s CEO as of yesterday.“He has shared your photos and basic information with me and informed me to assist you in any way.”Chase replied, “Understood. I’m in the company right now. I’ll contact you if I need anything.”In the deputy CEO’s office, Sandy immediately called her secretary over after hanging up. She instructed, “The newly appointed CEO, Mr. Collins, has arrived at the company. "He's probably here on an unofficial visit. Inform all department heads immediately to watch their employees and display their best attitudes at work. I’m warning everyone here in advance. If Mr. Collins is unhappy with anyone, prepare to leave

    Harrison was enraged. “You’re the homosexual! Your entire family is full of homosexuals! Get out. Get out of this room right now.”Chase asked, “If you’re not a homosexual, why are you hiring based on horoscopes?”“For the sole reason that I’m the HR manager. Everything I say, goes. What can you do about it? Beat me up?” Harrison sneered and said gleefully.He was given a hard slap on the face the moment he said this.Harrison was in shock. He covered his cheek with his hand and looked at Chase in disbelief. “How… How dare you hit me?!”“Would you believe me if I told you that I can hit you and even fire you?” Chase said calmly.Harrison said viciously, “Fire me? You? Do you think you’re our new CEO? You’re finished for hitting me. Just wait!”He took out his phone with another word and made a call. “Carlton, send a few security guards over to my office. Someone is making trouble here.”Five tall, muscular men in uniform rushed into the room not long after.“This is the rascal

    “Five minutes and 20 seconds…” Chase looked at Sandy coolly. “You’re late.”“I apologize, Mr. Collins.” Sandy felt a chill in her heart.There was dead silence in the room.Sandy’s actions shocked everyone present.Harrison’s eyes widened.Sandy was the company’s deputy CEO. Her position was second to only the CEO.Wait…What did she call that rascal?M-Mr. Collins.That was when Harrison shivered. He fell weakly to the ground and looked at Chase in disbelief. “You… You’re the newly appointed CEO, Mr. Collins?”Barrett and the others were paralyzed by fear when they heard this. They started trembling as well.Chase crossed his legs and smiled at him to say, “Do you still remember what I told you? I can hit you and even fire you. Do you believe me now?”Harrison was stunned to hear that. He immediately began slapping himself. “I’m… I’m sorry, Mr. Collins. It was my fault for acting arrogantly, I was wrong…”He never imagined that the person his nephew wanted to give trouble

    Riley finally burst out in the end, “Edward, he has been in there for almost an entire morning. Why isn’t he out yet?”“Don’t worry, Riley. I’ve already told my uncle about this. He won’t be able to pass the interview.” Even though Edward was also curious about this, he still smiled and comforted her.Anna said gleefully, “That’s right, Riley. Edward’s uncle is the HR manager and holds the power to recruit. If he doesn’t approve of that country bumpkin, he won’t be able to join the company.”Riley felt better when they consoled her about it.That was when they saw Harrison walking out in a hurry with a bag clenched under his armpit.Edward’s eyes lit up as he quickly went to him. “How did it go, Uncle Harrison? You didn’t let that rascal pass the interview, did you?”Harrison slapped Edward without a word. He said with a grim look on his face, “You almost got me in trouble, you ignorant thing.”This slap shocked Edward. Even Riley and the others were stunned.What was happening

    “Don’t worry. We won’t say a thing about it. Hurry up and tell us.”Everyone pushed for the story.Anna sniggered and said, “I heard that when Mr. Chalk was interviewing him, Mr. Collins, who's here on an unofficial visit, saw how he was being picked on. Mr. Collins was enraged and called Miss Lawson about it. After that, Mr. Chalk was given a good scolding.”Realization dawned upon Edward. “I knew it. Why else would Uncle Harrison look at me like I’m the enemy and say that I almost got him into trouble? The newly appointed Mr. Collins saw everything.”“Riley, did you hear that? This isn't my fault. That rascal just got lucky.”“He should count his lucky stars.” Riley looked terribly upset.Edward consoled her, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a reason to fire him.”It was soon after work, and Edward needed to negotiate a contract. He suggested bringing along Riley and the others for a learning experience.Chase did not plan to go, but as Riley was going, he had to tag along. Af

    “Where exactly could you be?”Bianca clenched her teeth and said with tears in her eyes, “If you can save my grandpa, I'd be willing to take care of you and serve you for life.” Her phone suddenly rang. She quickly picked it up. “How… How is it Hounddog Creed? Have you found him?”“I’ve found him, Miss Cooper. He said for you to go to Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel to apologize to him personally, “ the man quickly told her.Bianca was not mad and instead cried out with joy when she heard this. “Good, good. This is good news.“Prepare the car. I’m going to the Royal Capital Hotel right now!”In Room 802 of the Royal Capital Hotel, there was a large, round glass table inside the room that was covered with luxurious food. There were also many bottles of branded alcohol.Edward, who was in a suit, raised his glass of wine to a middle-aged man not far from him. “Mr. Chapman, this is a toast for you. Thank you for honoring us with your presence. Cheers to you.”Before Mr. Chapm

    Everyone turned to look at the door and saw a young man walking in with his hands in his pockets.“Chase Collins?”Edward and the others exclaimed in surprise.Riley was delighted to hear someone speak up for her, a little touched even.“Who the hell is this guy? How dare you poke your nose into my business?” Daniel stared at Chase coldly.Chase said nothing. He went to Riley and pulled her protectively behind his back.After that, he picked up a liquor bottle on the table and smashed it into Daniel’s head without another word. “How dare you touch my woman?”“Argh!!!”Daniel screamed and quickly covered his head with his hands. Blood trickled through his fingers.Riley and the others were stunned to see this. Next, their expressions were replaced with fear.Daniel was the general manager of Emgrand Group, and Chase had wounded him.This was bad news!Daniel held his hand in his hands and roared, “How dare you hit me, you lowlife?! I guarantee you that you'll pay terribly fo

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik

    "Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a

    Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It

    As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single
