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
“What?!”Everyone exclaimed loudly when they heard this. They were all shocked by the news.They passed the contract around to read it as their minds went blank.It was really true!After Jeanie was done reading it, all she saw in front of her was black. She almost passed out.“This is impossible. It’s not possible that this bitch would be able to get two billion worth of investment.”She looked vicious as she roared horribly, “I’ve told Owen Hudson to do something about this. What was that useless man doing?!”There was an incredulous look in her eyes, and she was almost going crazy from things not working out the way she planned.Jeanie had always been better at Quinn when it came to both looks and capability.She was finally given the opportunity to defeat Quinn but ended up still being on the losing end.How could Jeanie take this?!Quinn looked coldly at Jeanie when she heard what Jeanie said and retorted, “So, Owen Hudson had been working for you, Jeanie.“Unfortunate
The security guards turned and left when they heard this.“Don’t go, come back!“Ow! I’m begging you! Stop hitting me…”Jeanie was crying out in pain and begging for the beating to stop, but it only made Owen hit her harder.Quinn could no longer take the sight when she saw this and went forward to stop it.“Don’t. Have you forgotten how arrogant she was?” Chase said as he enjoyed the show.Jeanie could only keep begging, “Miss Norris, please. I’m begging you. Please help me…“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have kept going against you, and I shouldn’t have plotted to take over your position as CEO..”Jeanie's face was badly bruised, and even her front teeth had been broken. She was no longer as arrogant as before.Chase finally asked when he thought she had enough, “What are you going to do about the matter of giving up your shares?”“I’ll agree to it. Just please save me from this madman,” Jeanie pleaded.Chase prepared a share transfer agreement for Quinn and placed it in front
“I bought this villa a few years back, and I stay here most of the time.”Quinn explained to Chase while pointing at a bedroom on the second floor. "That will be your room from now on.” Even though she was not willing to live with a man, Chase was now her husband in name. She could not let him wander around homeless.Besides, Chase had offended Huey, and Huey was determined to hurt Chase. She could not let anything happen to him.“Are we considered to be living together now?” Chase said to her with a small smile.“Don’t even think about it.”Quinn’s pretty face blushed as she glared at him. “I just feel sorry that you have nothing and nowhere to stay in South River City, which is why I'm letting you stay here. Don’t overthink this.“But we need to come to an agreement before you move in.”“Go ahead,” Chase said.“First, you’re not allowed to touch me, not even hold my hand.“Second, you aren’t allowed into my room without my permission. And you can’t touch any of my things,
Quinn’s kitchen was huge and luxurious.Chase was speechless when he opened her refrigerator.It was worth over a hundred thousand, but there was nothing in there but a dry pack of pasta.Spices left on the stove such as salt and pepper were all brand new and still wrapped up.Pasta was the only thing Chase could cook for her. Considering that she was a working woman who was constantly networking, he did not put in any pungent ingredients such as garlic.Despite the lack of ingredients, he managed to serve up the pasta.Quinn sniffed the pasta and was surprised as she said, “It smells really good. I can’t believe you really do know how to make a meal.”Chase said, “There’s nothing left in your house but pasta. You’ll need to make do with this for now. I’ll make more for you if this isn’t enough.”He had stayed in the mountains for decades, and Chase had learned to cook because he was in charge of taking care of the old man.Quinn was too hungry and immediately dug into the pas
Chase shook his head and said, “Get your men to stand down. I know how to handle this.”“Alright.” Bianca left with her men.Chase looked coldly into the dark night. “You asked for this, Harrigans.”…When Bianca got home, she immediately told William about what happened.She asked, “Grandpa, the Harrigans seem determined to kill Dr. Collins. What should we do?”William grunted coldly and said, “Warn Huey Harrigan to stay away from Dr. Collins in the name of the Coopers. Tell him that Dr. Collins is our benefactor. If he dares touch Dr. Collins, he'll be making an enemy out of us.”“Grandpa, the Harrigans are South River City’s most elite family…” Bianca was shocked by his words. She did not expect her grandfather to be hot-tempered enough to choose a direct confrontation with the Harrigans.“It doesn’t matter if they're the most elite family.”William laughed coldly and said, “Don’t forget that Dr. Collins has the Dragon Soul Ring. The Harrigans are lesser than ants in the
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
