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
When Sandy received the call from Chase, she immediately stopped her work and waited for Quinn in the office.However, she waited for a long time but no one showed up. She had no choice but to call the security office to inquire if a woman had dropped by.She found out from security that Quinn had been taken to the general manager’s office.Sandy was reminded of Owen’s past of sexually harassing women by using work as an excuse, which was why she rushed over.She almost passed out from what she saw at the office.Sandy was too late.She broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at Chase and said, “Mr. Co…”Chase spoke up first, “Miss Lawson, the general manager of your company threatened my wife to sleep with him. I couldn't accept this behavior and beat him up for it. Please see to this matter.”Owen sneered at Chase in disdain.He was the company’s general manager and held a lot of power. There was no way Sandy would punish him just because he requested it.Quinn and Elaine s
What?Two billion?Quinn and Elanie were shocked. They thought they had heard it wrong.Both of them came with the preconceived notion that it would be difficult to get their investment. However, Sandy was already aware of their reason for being here and even took the initiative to offer two billion as an investment.“Is the investment too little for you, Miss Norris?” The look on Sandy’s face changed slightly as she asked the question.Quinn quickly waved her hands anxiously and stammered, “No, no. That’s enough.”She would have been happy with one or two hundred million in investment.She did not expect Sandy to offer two billion instead, which shocked her.“Good. Come with me to sign the contract, please.” Sandy gestured toward a direction respectfully.That was how Quinn managed to quickly sign a partnership agreement with La Fleur.Before she left, Sandy gave Quinn her card. “This is my personal contact information, Miss Norris. Please feel free to contact me should you
Chase paused after saying this.Both women were taken aback.Quinn frowned and said, “What do you mean? Are you telling me that you’re the CEO of La Fleur?”“That’s right. I’m the CEO of La Fleur,” Chase admitted graciously.Elaine could not help sniggering. “Are you trying to show off, Collins?“Just because your surname is also Collins doesn’t mean that you’re the CEO of La Fleur.”She looked at Chase with disdain. “I have to say that this is the first time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you.”Chase replied seriously, “I really am the CEO of La Fleur. If you don’t believe me, I can get Sandy Lawson here as my witness…”“Alright, stop fooling around. The most important thing right now is to return to the company and share the good news with the shareholders.”Quinn interrupted Chase. They got into the car and drove straight to Blizzard Group.It was clear that even she did not believe that Chase was the CEO of La Fleur.Elaine was looking forward to getting back as she s
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
A golden rune floated in Chase's palm, shimmering with radiant energy.The rune collided with the rusted blade, scattering dazzling sparks into the air."What?!" the elder exclaimed, his pupils constricting."Do you think a piece of worthless scrap metal can harm me? How laughable." Chase shook his head. He flicked his fingers, and the golden rune expanded to the size of a hand. In an instant, it transformed into a blazing flame that radiated intense heat. It spread in all directions."What kind of technique is this?"The elder's face twisted in fear. He leaped back, trying to escape, but the golden flames spread rapidly as they devoured everything in their path. Grass and leaves turned to ash in moments, and even the soil melted under its heat.When a single ember touched the elder's body, smoke began to rise from his flesh, causing him immense pain. The flames were not just hot—they burned through flesh and blood with ease."No! This fire is too dangerous. I can't let it touch
The elder was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he had witnessed.The Nine Dragons Shield was a forbidden technique that consumed immense amounts of vital energy to activate. Even martial arts saints who used it would suffer grave consequences, potentially causing their cultivation level to permanently regress."Who are you?" he demanded."Who I am doesn't matter," Chase replied, his tone calm yet piercing. "What matters is that I can kill you."Another bolt of lightning crashed down from the heavens.Chase stood still, unmoving, letting the lightning strike his body.Blood spattered as his clothes were shredded. His shoulders and back bore scorch marks from the impact. He smirked and said, "Not bad. This level of lightning barely affects me."As soon as he spoke, Chase launched a punch. The force of his strike condensed into a tangible blast. It was like a meteor crashing down, slamming into the elder's chest.A dull thud echoed as the elder's body convulsed violently
