Chapter 141

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“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

    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

    Chase, who was standing directly in front of that sword strike, was equally stunned.Zacharias had been right!From that sword, he sensed the same divine intent as the one he had felt earlier in the clouds from that figure that resembled the Nine-Sea Giant Squid. It was evil, filled with pain and oppression, spreading boundlessly.Clive was indeed a projection—or a fragment—of Klondike!Chase's rage simmered down, replaced by a cold gleam in his eyes. This was the one who wanted to kill him?He was ready to strike back with full force. He summoned Greedy Wolf from the void, and his killing intent surged across the arena. The moment the blade appeared, it once again drew gasps from the audience.The overwhelming sword intent Clive had released earlier was instantly compressed and forced back by half as if it were afraid of Chase's blade. Then came the killing aura of Greedy Wolf. It was nearly tangible, sweeping across the hearts of every spectator.Earlier, Clive's sword aura had

    Clive finally seemed to snap out of his daze."You brat, did you drug me?" he barked angrily, vaguely aware that something felt off. It was as if he had just taken a nap in the arena. His first thought was that Chase must have slipped him some kind of drug."If I had drugged you, would you still be standing there?" Chase scoffed at such a ridiculous accusation.That was true. If Chase truly had drugged him, Clive would probably already be lying unconscious in the rest area.Clive reluctantly accepted Chase's explanation for now."Let's settle this once and for all!" he shouted, raising his Heaven and Earth Sword as a boundless sword aura swept across the arena.Huh? His strength felt even greater than before. Clive grew smug with pride.Chase appeared completely unaware of his incoming strike.Rookie move, he thought. Chase must have been stunned by his sword intent and was now completely frozen.Clive was imagining it all in his head.Then, he shouted, "Boundless Heaven and E

    As soon as Zacharias spoke of Klondike, Chase's sea of consciousness suddenly darkened.Chase was startled. He sensed a presence—some sort of power—watching him. He released his spiritual consciousness and swept the area but found nothing."That's Klondike's power. Just mentioning him will make you a target and draw his gaze," Zacharias warned. "I no longer have anything to lose, but you must be careful. If his true body takes notice, there's only one outcome—death.""It's too late. My master already has his eyes on you. Kid, did you not see what happened to Zacharias? I suggest you learn from it and—"Before Gideon could finish his sentence, an invisible chain shot out, binding his soul and sealing his mouth, leaving him completely unable to speak."You'd better behave. This is my sea of consciousness," Chase said coldly.The last time he struck Gideon with a bolt of lightning, it obliterated his soul, but Gideon had reformed using a portion of Zacharias' spirit. If Chase destroy

    Chase had been wondering why it took Zacharias so long to wake up. Now that he was finally awake, why was he still so weak? More importantly, why did he immediately turn against his old acquaintance?What exactly had happened in between?"He's a fraud. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid and the Nine Sea Holy Sword are all projections or incarnations of that evil deity. All that nonsense about being fated with me was a setup—just a ploy to steal my divine foresight," Zacharias said as his spiritual form twisted like wisps of smoke, looking unstable and on the verge of dispersing completely."Evil deity? Projection? Are you talking about Klondike?" Chase asked, recalling the Nine-Sea Giant Squid he encountered on the fourth level among the Worthingtons as well as the so-called expert they summoned. He remembered they had mentioned someone named Klondike.Upon hearing Chase speak that name, Gideon visibly flinched in shock."So, you actually know?" he asked with a dark expression."My soul has

    Fallon was a little speechless when he heard Ford's words.He had made up the whole "spiritual consciousness duel" thing on a whim, yet this kid delivered his commentary with such confidence and flair. It looked like he was a seasoned show-off too!Truly, the younger generation was not to be underestimated. Fallon could not help but let out a snort of laughter.Carla, standing beside him, transmitted a quiet message via spiritual consciousness, "Ford… isn't wrong.""What?" Fallon was stunned.In terms of soul and spiritual consciousness, Carla was undoubtedly one of the top experts in the nether realm. As someone who focused on physical cultivation, Fallon had always respected her spiritual skills.However, this so-called "spiritual consciousness duel" had just been something he made up.Even Carla had believed it was a lie earlier. Yet now, she was suddenly vouching for Ford, saying he was telling the truth?It really gave Fallon a scare."I made this up on the spot. Are you s

    "Could they be rigging the match?""The reward for the Holy Path is at the martial god level. Would they fake a match for that?""It's exactly because it's a martial god-level reward that they'd rig the match, got it?""No way. I object. City Lord, these two are definitely up to something!"As Clive and Chase remained motionless for longer and longer, Fallon and Carla also noticed something was wrong.However, after scanning the arena with their spiritual consciousness, they did detect a clashing of energy between the two.After a brief moment of thought, Fallon spoke up. "Everyone, please calm down. These two prodigies are currently engaged in a rather novel type of battle—a spiritual consciousness duel. The fight between them is currently in a deadlock. A single misstep could mean complete annihilation of their souls."Only those whose spiritual consciousness is highly refined can perceive what's going on. So please, be patient and wait for the match to conclude."The crowd im

    "Kid, if I hadn't deliberately transmitted my voice to you, do you think you could hear me?"Chase flinched. That voice had clearly echoed within his sea of consciousness. Could it be that Zacharias Crane had awakened?He quickly recalled the Seer of Whitepeak—the former elder of the Shadowless Sect whom he had subdued—and hurriedly searched within his sea of consciousness.Zacharias' soul still lay dormant."Heh, just as I thought. That old fellow is suffering too, hiding out inside you." The voice sounded pleased.Chase was completely stunned."Let me be honest with you. I'm the Nine Sea Holy Sword, Gideon. That Zacharias kid always bragged about being a peerless divine seer. But it turns out that even he couldn't escape his fate."As he spoke, a translucent figure materialized within Chase's sea of consciousness. He wore a gray robe and carried nine long swords on his back."Sir, and you are…"Chase was shocked. This man had entered his sea of consciousness silently. If he m

    "That's no surprise. They're human too and have emotions. It's normal.""Aren't cultivators supposed to develop noble hearts as part of their cultivation? How can they allow such raw emotions to control them?""Well, not everything looks like it seems. The way they vent their emotions is different from us common folk."Chase looked exasperated while listening to the discussion below. He did not want to listen in on them. However, there was something about Clive.When Chase tried to sense Clive with his consciousness, he could sense an ordinary cultivator and an unfathomable cultivator who was as mysterious as a deep, black hole. It got him curious. Could this man have a split personality? Or was he possessed?Chase released his consciousness completely to be safe. This way, he could watch over every move Clive made.This move had also caused him to hear every unnecessary voice below the ring.Clive had no idea what Chase had done. All he knew was that a pair of mysterious eyes s
