Chase was not angered. Instead, he replied with amusement, “Will you believe it if I say that you won’t be the assistant general manager for very long?”Edward was instantly enraged. “Nonsense!”Riley said coldly, “You shouldn’t say something like that even if you’re jealous of Edward being better than you, Chase.”“I’m jealous of him?” Chase laughed.“Aren’t you?”Riley was full of herself as she looked at Chase. There was a look of disgust on her face. “Edward is now the company’s assistant general manager despite his young age while you’re just a minor employee. What else could it be if you’re not jealous of him?”“Believe whatever you want. Trust me, the man you're so proud of will return to his true form very soon.”Chase did not even bother arguing with her and left after saying that.Riley’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Henry.After she hung up, she quickly called out to Chase and said, “Wait. My dad wants to talk to you.”Chase frowned and took the phone fr
Raymond and Anna were gleeful at this idea.They knew that Edward was about to play Chase like a fool.There were two security guards dozing off at the parking entrance of Tangent Hotel.Chase stopped right at the entrance, but the boom barrier did not move. He pressed on the horn gently.The security guards jumped. They were about to curse out loud when they saw the little gold man on the Rolls-Royce. They immediately got to work and raised the boom barrier.Chase nodded thanks to both of them and drove into the parking lot.One of the security guards followed him inside and waited for Chase to park the car. He approached Chase to curry favor with him. “Do you need me to help you park the car, sir?”Chase wanted to reject the offer but Henry suddenly called him on the phone.“Thanks for the help.”Chase handed his keys over to the security guard and walked toward an elevator.“It’s no problem at all.”The security guard took the keys from him. He had met many rich men who w
They were two to three meters apart, but Chase could sense how confident Yvette was.He turned to look at Henry and said, “Uncle Henry, what’s happening…”Henry smiled and said, “I asked you here today to introduce Whitney’s daughter, Yvette, to you. Young people would have more to chat among themselves. You should get to know each other.”Chase was rendered speechless.He thought Henry asked him here for something important.In the end, this was just a blind date?Chase said, “Uncle Henry, I need to go. There’s something I need to attend to…”He did not give Yvette a second glance at all.Whitney’s face fell when she heard his reply.That brat.What did he mean?The three of them had waited half the day for him and he was leaving the moment he arrived.Henry wanted to get him to stay, but Yvette spoke up, “Stop playing games like this to catch my attention. You need to know for yourself if you’re good enough to do that.”She looked at Chase with confidence and continued,
Chase raised an eyebrow and said, “I said I don’t really drive. That doesn’t mean I don’t own a car. In fact, I’ve just gotten a Rolls-Royce Phantom from the car dealership.“As for having a house, it’s true that I don’t have one, but I do have a villa situated at No. 1, Imperial Dragon Bay.“For my savings, a hundred million is a little too low, isn’t it? I’m embarrassed to talk about anything lower than ten billion.”The look on Whitney's and her children’s faces changed.Rolls-Royce Phantom?Villa?Savings of ten billion?This guy was a rich man, after all.Whitney immediately became very friendly. She wanted to get better associated with Chase.That was when a sarcastic voice spoke from outside the door, “Stop boasting, Collins!”The next moment, Edward entered the room with Riley, Anna, and Raymond.“Riley, Edward, you’re finally here.” Henry gave them a look to hint at them to help get Chase and Yvette together.However, Edward pretended not to notice as he continued,
After Chase said that, Whitney and the three were stunned.Edward roared, “Don’t listen to him! He’s just jealous, so that’s why he said I won’t be the assistant general manager for long.”Whitney then started shrieking at Chase, “Beg you? Do you think you're the chairman of his company?“You’re just an insignificant employee and you need to do whatever Edward tells you to do.“Stop pretending if you don’t have the ability. If it weren't for Edward, we would've kicked you out a long time ago.” Ted chuckled coldly as he looked at Chase.“Edward, I’ll go to your company with my brother tomorrow. Please make the arrangements,” Yvette said flatteringly.“Don’t worry.”Edward patted his chest and promised, “I’ll recommend you to the company when the time comes. I’m 80% sure it'll be no problem.”“Alright. Thank you, Edward.”Whitney grinned. Then, she peered at Chase in disdain. “Edward, I don't mean to be nosey, but you should fire such a disobedient employee like him.”“That’s a
After locating the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Edward did not hesitate to get into the driver’s seat.“Edward, you've been drinking. I don't think you should drive. Let Raymond drive,” Riley said worriedly.“I’m fine. I’m not drunk. I’m still sober.” Edward pushed her hand away and got into the driver’s seat.It was unknown if he was drunk or if he was just showing off. After he got into the driver’s seat, he slammed down on the accelerator, which made a loud noise.At that moment, the entire parking lot was filled with the sound of his car.“Look, I’m not drunk.”Edward whistled and said, “Get out of the way. I’ll drive the car out.”“Be careful,” Riley reminded.“I’m not drunk.”As Edward repeated that, he shifted the gears and turned the steering wheel. After that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward.However, the car reversed.“Huh? Why is it reversing? Am I really drunk?”Edward noticed something was wrong, so he wanted to step on the brakes.Suddenly,
When Edward and the gang heard this, they got scared. They thought the owner of the Rolls-Royce Phantom had shown up.However, when they turned around, they saw a familiar figure.The fear in Edward’s face vanished when he saw that figure. Instead, it was replaced by endless disdain. “It’s you. You scared me.”“Who else did you think it was?” Chase lifted his eyebrows as he asked.Anna said coldly, “Collins, didn’t we ask you to get lost? Why did you follow us here so shamelessly?”“I think he must've regretted his decision to reject Edward. He's probably here to kneel to Edward and beg him,” Raymond said in contempt.“You regret it now, huh? It’s too late. Listen, I’ll fire you the minute I get to the office tomorrow,” Edward said coldly.After he said that, he got out of the car and tossed some cash at Chase. “Here’s ten dollars for your taxi fare. Take it and get lost.”He was worried that if he continued wasting his breath with Chase, the owner of the Rolls-Royce would show
He was just a security guard with a monthly salary of 3,000 to 4,000 dollars. How could he afford to pay for this?Edward’s expression changed as he quickly explained, “Sir, it was an accident. I’m sorry…”The security guard went over and kicked Edward away. As he screamed, the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly. “It’s you! What’s the use of apologizing to me? You’ve ruined my life!”If looks could kill, Edward would have died multiple times by now.Since Chase was standing in the corner and the security guard had been focusing on Edward, the latter did not notice him.“H-How could you hit him?” Riley glared at the security guard.Raymond and Anna quickly walked over to try to fight with the security guard.However, the security guard had a lot of experience, so he was not scared of them.He smirked coldly, saying, “What’s wrong? You want to beat me up after you crashed into a guest's car, huh? Alright, just you wait.”Without hesitating, he took out his phone to call for bac
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
