To be honest, Quinn was moved by what Huey said.After all, this family was her grandfather's blood and sweat. Moreover, his dying wish was for her to help the family prosper.However, she had already sworn that she would only marry Rocky.If she gave in to Huey because of her family, how would she face Rocky in the future?When she thought about this, Quinn took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t marry you. Please give up because I already have a fiancé.”After she said that, Reginald and his brothers were stunned. Gradually, they showed an ecstatic expression.They were rejoicing over the brat rejecting Huey!Huey’s face fell as he said, “You already have a fiancé, huh? I'd like to see who dares to steal my woman from me.”At this moment, Chase stepped forward and said with a half smile, “I'm the one who stole your woman.”Quinn then said magnanimously, “That’s right. Let me introduce you to my fiancé, Chase.”“What?”The crowd was in uproar. This news was too muc
Huey’s heart was filled with bitter resentment, but when he saw Chase’s eyes, his heart turned cold. He wanted to challenge Chase, but he could not get the words out.He felt that Chase would really kill him.Everyone’s hearts were racing.Gosh, the son of the most elite family in South River City was slapped in public and rendered speechless!Finally, Reginald came back to his senses and stepped out. He pointed at Chase’s nose while yelling, “Do you know who Mr. Huey is? How dare you slap him?! Do you want to die?”He looked like he was indignant at the injustice, but on the inside, he was over the moon.Since that brat dared to offend the Harrigans, he was done for! Not only that, but even Quinn was doomed!“Oh yeah?” Chase lifted his eyebrows and said, “If he wishes to seek revenge, he can just come at me. I'll welcome him with open arms.”Everyone inhaled sharply. Was this kid seriously provoking the Harrigans by himself?He was mad!He must be a madman!Even Quinn was s
“It’s because of you that we've offended the Harrigans!“It’s because of you that I've ruined Grandpa’s blood and sweat!“It’s because of you that I've become the sinner of the family!”Quinn looked at the empty funeral scene and cried hysterically.A look of self-blame flashed across Chase’s eyes when he saw Quinn breaking down.He did not think that he would trigger her so much by doing what he just did.At the end of the day, she was just a vulnerable woman whose loved one passed away.Chase ignored her resistance and pulled her into a hug. He comforted her, “I’m sorry, but I'll help you. Trust me, the Harrigans won’t do anything to you.”“How will you help me?”Quinn pushed him away and roared, “Chase, who do you think you are?!“You’re just a country bumpkin! It'll be so easy for the Harrigans to destroy you.“Whatever, there’s no point saying anything now.”Quinn wiped her tears and said while pretending to be strong, “Come with me now.”“Where to?” Chase asked.“Yo
Quinn’s face turned red as she stammered, “I-I don’t have anything to say. C-Can you let me go?”“That’s more like it.” Chase then released her.“You rascal!” Quinn wanted to slap him the moment she was free.However, her phone rang at this moment. It was from Elaine. “Miss Norris, b-bad news! The shareholders are having a meeting, and they want to replace you.”“What?”Quinn’s expression changed. After she hung up, she rushed to the company with Chase.The shareholders sat together in the meeting room of Blizzard Group. They were discussing whether they should dismiss Quinn as the CEO of the company.A woman who was dressed to the nines and wearing heavy makeup scoffed. “What’s there to be confused about? Quinn brought such a huge loss to the company, so we have to dismiss her and elect someone better.”She was Jeanie Shuhman, the only female shareholder of Blizzard Group.She had been coveting the position of CEO for a very long time. However, since Quinn was from the Norris
Chase not only stunned Jeanie with his slap, but he even stunned the other shareholders.“You scoundrel, who are you? How dare you slap Miss Shuhman?”One of the shareholders who was close to Jeanie got up and scolded him.The rest of the shareholders also glared at Chase.However, Chase said calmly, “Quinn is my wife. I’m already being very kind by just slapping her once for wanting to dismiss her.”Jeanie let out a growl before pouncing on Quinn while making threatening gestures.“Quinn, you bitch! How dare you allow that loser to slap me?! I’m going to kill you!”Chase slapped Jeanie again, sending her to the floor. The other side of Jeanie’s face was also swollen.Jeanie almost passed out from the humiliation of getting slapped twice.“Anyone else wants to dismiss my wife?” Chase scanned the room.Everyone took a few steps back, not daring to say anything.They were used to being aloof and arrogant. They had never met anyone who would use violence just because of a sligh
“If you find a way to reach an agreement with La Fleur in three days and help the company through this crisis, you'll still be the CEO. We won't have any objections.“On the contrary, if you can’t, don’t blame us for being merciless.”“That’s not all.” Chase suddenly chimed in. He pointed at Jeanie and said, “If Quinn manages to get the investment, I want to add on another stake. I want this bitch to clear out her shares and get out of Quinn’s company!”Jeanie scoffed in contempt and said, “Alright. If you get the investment, I can give up my shares and transfer them to you unconditionally. Everyone here is my witness.”“Alright, it’s a deal, then.”Since things had escalated to this point, Quinn knew she had no choice. She could only leave with Chase.After the two left, Jeanie showed a pleased grin. She thought, 'You fell for my tricks, you bitch.'I'm the lover of the manager of La Fleur. As long as I say something, you might not even be able to step into the doors of La Fle
Half an hour later, Quinn headed to La Fleur with Chase and Elaine.Chase was the driver.Right after Quinn got into the car, she asked, “Elaine, do you have the information about the senior executives of La Fleur?”Elaine opened her notebook and pushed her glasses. “I do. The CEO of La Fleur is named Chase Collins.”After she said that, she peered at Chase, who was driving. He commented, “He has the same name as that guy.”The same name as Chase? Quinn was shocked after she heard that.However, she did not think too much. After all, there were a lot of people with the same names in the world.Elaine continued, “I heard that Mr. Collins is very mysterious and doesn’t like to show his face. Therefore, not a lot of people have seen him before.“So, the deputy CEO, Sandy Lawson, is the one who makes all the decisions."“But I don’t know Miss Lawson…” Quinn said, looking troubled.Chase, who was still driving, chimed in, “Quinn, you can see Sandy after you tell the front desk you
It was no wonder that Huey was obsessed with her.That bitch, Jeanie, had never liked Quinn. It was clear that Jeanie was jealous of her.Owen swore that he would have Quinn.He quietly made the promise to himself.Owen looked at Elaine and Chase, who were seated beside Quinn, and said, “There's something I need to discuss with Miss Norris. I’d like to ask the rest of you to leave.”Elaine tried to pull Chase out of there.However, Chase refused to budge and said, “May I know what you'd like to discuss with my wife that I’m not allowed to listen to, Mr. Hudson?”“Chase is my husband, Mr. Hudson. He won’t disclose what we discuss,” Quinn said with a nod.Quinn made sure to take care of Chase’s pride when they were in public.Owen’s face fell as he said unhappily, “It sounds like you’re not sincere about meeting Miss Lawson. If that’s the way you feel, you can forget about this.“See them out, Amy!”He grunted coldly.Amy immediately said, “Please come this way, Miss Quinn. T
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
Chase lifted his leg and kicked a Ghost Boar into the air.On the other side, a towering Ghost Boar charged at him, its body covered in thick armor-like skin. Even for Chase, taking it down in one strike would not be easy."Get lost!" Chase snorted coldly, delivering a sharp palm strike to the boar's neck. He sliced it clean through, severing its entire arm!The Ghost Boar shrieked, stumbling away in agony. However, Chase chased it down, stepped on its tail, and twisted hard.A piercing wail echoed through the battlefield.Grabbing the boar's tail, Chase swung it into the ground, shaking the earth beneath them. At that moment, several more Ghost Boars approached, but this time, they halted their advance. Standing three feet away, they refused to take another step forward."What's this? You're afraid now?" Chase smirked.Despite his fierce battle, he had exhausted a great deal of energy. His true energy was nearly depleted. He needed to replenish it.One of the smaller, weaker G
"You're just a mere beast! Get lost!" Chase let out a sharp breath, kicking the Ghost Boar in the stomach.The boar let out a miserable shriek, its body hurtling dozens of feet away. It smashed through countless ancient trees before it finally came to a stop.Suddenly, from atop a small hill, a snow-white fox with wings sprouting from its back lunged toward Chase. Its presence was even more menacing than the Ghost Boar's, and its speed was terrifyingly fast.The moment it opened its mouth, razor-sharp teeth gleamed like knives, ready to tear him apart.It moved too fast! In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Chase, its fangs already aiming for his throat!Just then, a fair hand smacked down on the fox's head. With a single slap, Chase sent it soaring through the air! He felt a rush of excitement in his chest."What incredible strength!"This was the first time he had executed a martial technique.Yet even relying solely on his physical body, he could tell that he had grown tw
Chase had indeed spotted a treasure, but he also sensed the danger that came with it. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would not be able to withstand its power and might lose his life instead."Heavenly treasures like this often contain immense energy fluctuations. This orb… It might help refine my true energy and strengthen my martial veins…""This brat… He's still alive?" Just as the warrior was about to continue his hunt, he was stunned to see the supposedly unconscious Chase slowly getting back on his feet, staggering toward him."You're still standing?" His brows furrowed in surprise before his expression turned cold."Well, since you survived, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"Before the words even fully left his mouth, his steel whip lashed out, streaking through the air like a venomous serpent, striking straight at Chase's throat!"You're courting death."Chase let out a cold laugh, his hand shooting out to seize the whip. With a forceful yank, he sent the warr
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?" H
"Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform
The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored
At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
