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
About ten minutes later in the homestay located in South River City’s suburbs, Chase was here to see Julia again. He was disappointed that there was no improvement in Julia’s mental condition.She was still afraid of strangers and sunlight. She was even frequently disturbed by nightmares of the fire.Sam could not help asking, “Sir, how about if I send her overseas to a psychiatric hospital?”“It’s fine.” Chase shook his head and said, “I can treat her. All I require is some things that I might need you to prepare for me.”“Please tell me what they are.” Sam perked up immediately.Chase wrote down a medical prescription. “I need you to use your connections to help me find these medical herbs, especially the main herb, Sky Spirit Flower.”“Secondly, I need you to find me a calligraphy pen. Not the ordinary kind, but the kind of pen that has spiritual energy.”Sam looked at Chase in bewilderment. “A calligraphy pen with spiritual energy?”He had lived quite a life but had never
Early the next morning, Chase woke up to find Quinn gone. There was a note on the table.[I’m off for work. I made you breakfast. It’s in the insulation cabinet. Finish it before coming to work. By the way, I’ve also washed your clothes. Hang them out to dry yourself.]“This woman isn’t as cold as I thought…” Chase smiled and took his breakfast out of the insulation cabinet to finish it.After he was done hanging his clothes out to dry, Chase headed straight for Blizzard Group.Every single person in Blizzard Group from the low-level employees to the higher management was especially busy at work. Even lunch was settled at their office tables.Chase knocked on the door and entered the CEO’s office. Quinn looked up at him and said gleefully, “You’re here just in time, Chase. I need you to take this document over to La Fleur and get them to stamp it.”Chase had no idea how to react to this task. He asked, “Where’s your secretary? Isn’t this supposed to be her job?”“Elaine is meeti
How could such power be a match for a stage-nine martial arts overlord like him?"Damn it!"The Black-Robed Demon cursed. He did not want to continue fighting Chase. A thick gray fog began to emanate from him.Boom!The fog spread out and covered hundreds of yards from where they were. It concealed everything from sight, and Chase's senses slowed down. It felt like he had sunk into a swamp, and it got more difficult to channel his skills.Chase was on the losing end in such a circumstance. The Black-Robed Demon had an absolute advantage. He attacked savagely and forced Chase into retreat."This guy knows how to use poison?!" Chase clenched his teeth.Chase possessed various martial arts techniques and mystical guides and had always thought of himself as knowledgeable, but the techniques the Black-Robed Demon used were all unfamiliar to him. He did not even remember learning about them."Hmph! You're nothing but an ant. You know nothing about the Path of the Venom!" The Black-Ro
"How did this…"The old man was shocked. He was a martial arts overlord! His physique was solid. How could he be hurt by a greenhorn?"Again!"There was a chilling look in Chase's eye. He waved his left hand, and the sword flash in his palm burst out instantly for the kill.This time, he used a sword-fighting technique that was profound-grade superior quality. He gathered the sword flash into a sword aura to attack his opponents. The power was formidable. Anyone who got hit would die instantly.There was a muffled explosion. Chase's sword-fighting technique had been blocked.A treasure that looked like a shield was in front of the old man. It had stopped the sword aura and saved him from the lethal attack. However, he still flew several yards back from the impact."Oh no! He's too powerful. I'm not his match!" The old man was scared silly and turned to run. He had no plans of continuing to fight. He had seen the brilliant flash of light blade that shone bright like the stars in
At this thought, a glint appeared in the old man's eye. He took out an emerald slip and said with clenched teeth, "Just you with, you little bastard. I've recorded your face. All I need to do is to break this emerald slip and someone will arrive to save me."It was not long after he made his announcement that the old man crushed the slip.Something happened next.A soft golden light began to spread out. Everything that happened there began to reflect in the emerald slip."Huh? What's that?"Chase noticed the slip and was curious about it. He immediately saw everything playing inside the slip. He saw himself standing in the mountains."Interesting. Looks like this person isn't giving up," Chase sneered.Such a trick could work on a martial arts overlord, but it was just a party trick when it came to Chase. However, this had piqued his interest.Chase decided to use this opportunity to test how powerful he was right now. He also wanted to find out the standard of this place.Thi
"Thunder Flame!" Chase growled.Balls of purple fire began gathering from all around, fusing into the vines. Numerous vines began burning furiously. They cackled from the flame and slithered like pythons toward the guards who were trying to escape."No! Save me!""Please! I don't want to die…"Their desperate screams echoed throughout the forest and mountains.It was soon before peace and quiet returned. There was nothing left of the place besides a pile of burnt corpses. All of the guards sent out by the Larsens were dead.Chase was the only one left, and his clothes were white as snow. He stepped forward slowly toward three corpses and lit them on fire.The next moment, flames surged into the air as they cackled furiously. All three guards' corpses vanished quickly in the sea of flames before turning to dust."Not bad. Not bad at all."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.The three guards had used joint attack martial arts and were quite powerful. Even though they were
Jove's eyes widened from extreme shock. He had seen everything Chase could do and was stunned.Jove knew very well that this fight had to end soon. If that elder of his returned, things could take a worse turn.Jove used his most powerful technique and channeled the thick true energy within him crazily. He condensed the energy in this fist and punched it hard at Chase's sword.There was a violent clang. It hurt Chase's hand so much that he almost released his sword."This must be how powerful a stage-nine martial arts overlord is." Chase's eyes narrowed upon experiencing the powerful strength. "This is good timing. It's a good opportunity to practice my new cultivation level."Stage nine martial arts overlord!That was equivalent to peak martial arts overlord.Only two people among the younger generation had been able to achieve stage nine martial arts overlord. Jove had not let down his status as Saint."Kill him!"The remaining three guards were gleeful to see Chase suppress
If Myra refused to say anything, Chase would ask her about it after they took care of this troublesome group.Swords clashed, and they were the only things that could be seen during the fight.Myra was quite formidable, but even she could not fight so many guards. There were too many of them; even the weakest was a stage-three martial artist."Why are you choosing the hard way, Myra? Do you think you can defeat so many of us?""Haha! I heard that you're a talented genius, Myra Kollins, but you don't really seem like it. How dare you go against the Larsens? You're asking for it!""Hehe! How about having a wedding? Marry me and we can live together as husband and wife. Doesn't that sound great?""Hoho! Why are you wasting time talking to a cheap thing like her, Mr. Jove? She's asking to be punished. Let's take turns enjoying her later. We'll make sure that she can't have enough of us later. Hahaha!"Myra's pretty face turned grim. She was furious. How dare those damned things insu
There was a loud bang when the palm hit Chase and he fell hard to the ground. Blood dripped from his mouth."That's a powerful palm attack!"Chase's eyes widened slightly, and his heart beat fast. He almost died from that attack. Fortunately, Chase had used his steel physique to block the attack at the crucial moment.Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the attack with his current cultivation level. He would have ended up seriously wounded.Chase clenched his teeth. His body hurt immensely. The power of that palm attack might have been softened by his shield, but it was still enough to hurt his internal organs and make his energy and blood boil."That attacker was really powerful. Could he be a powerhouse?"Chase was quietly astonished. However, he was not afraid. He had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, after all. Moreover, his cultivation was at its peak as his power had increased tremendously.Myra's petite body trembled when she saw Chase fall to th
Chase roared at the sky, and it echoed for several miles.He leaped into the air and swung his arm, crushing a man-made hill next to him. It then collapsed into pieces."How powerful!" Chase was delighted.He had a feeling he could easily crush a huge piece of wood in his hand right now."The power of a stage three martial monarch is strong, indeed," Chase muttered. He had absolute confidence right now that he could kill garbage like Jaden with one punch."Huh?"Chase looked up all of a sudden and frowned slightly. "Why are there people here?"He could see two figures coming toward him in the dark. They were coming closer to where he was."That's quick of them." Chase narrowed his eyes. He did not hide away but went up to them instead."You're being rash with this, young friend," one of the men said in a low voice. "The Larsens are a big family, and you've angered their patriarch and many of their elders. You're in deep trouble.""Oh?" Chase could no longer hold back when he
The wind whistled in the air as slash after slash of the sword swung down on Chase.Every swing was followed by a blood splatter."H-How is this possible?!"Jaden's eyes widened in disbelief.The guards he brought with him were elites of the Larsens. The one with the lowest cultivation among them was a stage-five martial arts saint.Such a team would be able to take down a castle anywhere."You're nothing but ants. How dare you even dream of killing me?!"Chase's dark hair billowed in the wind as he punched into the air. The power of the punch created a tremor that reverberated to every corner. A huge air wave surged, and all the guards collapsed.He clenched his fist. There was a bright, silver spear in his hand. He flung it out hard, and it shot through a wall ten feet away. It pinned Jaden on the shoulder.Jaden screamed and fell kneeling to the ground. His face contorted from the intense pain, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. There was a bloody hole on hi
