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
The security guard spoke very clearly, and all of them heard what he said.At that moment, the scene was silent.Edward and the others widened their eyes. They were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall out of their sockets.Did they hear that right?Chase, the country bumpkin, was the owner of this Rolls-Royce that was worth more than ten million?How was this possible?The first to regain their senses was Edward. He stammered, “A-Are you sure you got the right person? How could he be the owner of this car?”“Yeah, he’s just an insignificant employee of our company. H-How could he afford a Rolls-Royce?” Anna asked, unable to accept what was happening.The person who found this the hardest to accept was Riley. After all, she had never cared about Chase. She only thought that Chase was a country bumpkin who was not worthy of her.It was because of that she even asked Henry to cancel her engagement with Chase.Now, Chase had become the owner of a Rolls-Royce all of a su
After he said that, he looked pleased with himself and added, “I’m not afraid to tell you that the damage insurance on this car has coverage of three million. I have more than enough to compensate you!”Raymond and Anna also burst into laughter, acting as if they had been woken from a nightmare.Riley also grinned. With insurance, what did they have to be scared of?“Oh yeah?” Chase also grinned. “Go ahead and call the insurance company. I’ll wait.”“I will!”Huffing, Edward took out his phone to call the insurance company. He gave them the address of the place they were at. When he hung up the call, he chuckled. “You’re delusional if you think you can make me pay out of my own pockets.”“Can you answer a question for me?” Chase shook his head and asked.“What is it?” Edward snorted.With a raised eyebrow, he asked, “How did you get your driver’s license? Did you buy it?”“Nonsense!” Edward flew into a fit of rage.“I think he’s still unaware.” With a sigh, Chase turned to
When Chase got back to the villa, it was pitch-black. Quinn was not back yet.When he was about to call her, he received a call from Sam. “Sir, I have updates on the matter you asked me to look into.”“Alright, I’ll go over right now.” Chase’s eyes lit up.Then, he called Quinn. “When are you getting off work? I need to go out for a bit, so I’ll be late.”“I’m working overtime. You should just do your thing. You don’t have to worry about me.” Quinn hung up after she said that.Chase nodded and went to look for Sam after closing the door.At this moment, an unexpected guest showed up at Blizzard Group.It was Mandy in casual clothes.Getting up, Quinn said in surprise, “Mandy, why are you here? Do you have news about Rocky?”After she said that, she became very nervous.Rocky had killed so many members of the Quaids. What would she do if they arrested him?Mandy could tell how nervous she was, so she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he’s pretty skillful. After he killed Arthur
Tania once attended celebratory events held by other sects, only to encounter top-tier demonic beasts on the road. A brutal battle left her covered in wounds, and she missed the celebration entirely, offending the host.At that time, her master's resentment had already reached its peak.That thousand-year-old wolf demon became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Her master unleashed Emerald Lake Holy Land's most powerful technique—Radiance of Emerald, Eternal Slumber.Heaven and earth changed color the moment it was unleashed. The thousand-year wolf demon gathered all of its cultivation but still could not withstand the strike. It was reduced to ashes in an instant.Tania once thought that the gap between her and her master was not too wide and that she would rightfully inherit the mantle of leadership over Emerald Lake Holy Land within a century.Yet after witnessing that attack, she realized how wrong she had been. From then on, she started training harder and more dilig
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
