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
"My gosh! How is this happening?!" The skeletal old man panicked. His soul energy sensed that heaven and earth's vitality seemed to be attracted by something when it was around Chase, and it flowed directly into Chase.Meanwhile, the brilliant glow of the sun appeared in the air behind Chase. It burned brightly and blinded those who saw it.A massive Divine Red Phoenix appeared and opened up its wings as it flew in the air. It was ferocious and had an air of danger about it."The Divine Red Phoenix?!"The sight of it put fear in the skeletal old man as his eyes widened. "Who exactly are you?!"Chase ignored him. He had formed into a golden-red phoenix and was emanating a terrifying aura in the air."Burning Sky Technique!"The temperature in the cave suddenly hiked up several hundred degrees due to the burning golden sun. Even the cave walls and ground were melted into lava that started to flow like a river.The skeletal old man screamed in pain as his body turned red instantly
Chase moved extremely fast. He appeared in front of the skeletal old man, who was about ten yards away, in an instant.They were fighting in close combat. Their hands and legs hit and kicked each other as protective energy flew about.Several muffled explosions were heard. It was difficult to determine the victor in this fight."You're at the end of your tethers, little bastard! You're about to die! I'm going to refine you and feed your soul to the Phantom Coffin. You'll be vanquished completely and turned into a part of my body."The skeletal old man held back his head and laughed wildly. His wounds were healing at an incredible speed.Chase's performance in this fight had angered him. He no longer cared about hiding his identity."You want to refine me? You're nothing but a ghost. Are you dreaming?" Chase sneered and suddenly lunged forward."Die!" Chase was quick as lightning as he instantly got close to the skeletal old man. He pressed his palm down on the old man's shoulder
A strange air of authority could be felt coming from him."How did this happen?"The skeletal old man's eyes widened, and his heart beat violently. He was trembling.Chase looked just like a demon king.He took a step forward. The earth and sky tremored as cracks appeared on the ground.Chase's physique suddenly expanded exponentially. His skin was bright red, and his bones seemed to be clanging. A strong dark blood energy flooded out from him.Chase waved his arms about crazily. Explosions went off in the air. Every punch he swung was followed by the terrifying sound of an explosion.The surface of the graveyard collapsed from Chase's savage strength.Chase crushed half the skeletal old man's face with one punch, and the old man's body flew off several yards away.Meanwhile, Chase was suffering from backlash because the true energy reserves within his body had erupted. Bloody arrows began shooting out of him."Only a little of my true energy is left!" Chase said sadly.Even
"You're pretty formidable for a young man. You were actually able to stop the spiritual resentments from going any further. You're a Collins, indeed!"The skeletal old man chuckled. "But that doesn't mean anything. You still won't be able to escape death today!"He crashed the Phantom Coffin viciously toward Chase.Chase grunted coldly and took a step forward. He evaded the Phantom Coffin.He leaped and flew into the air. Chase moved in the formation of an eight trigram and kept shimmering because of his high speed.Chase punched the Phantom Coffin continuously, and it flew off to crash heavily by the feet of the skeletal old man. He jumped at it and evaded the crash in a fluster."My coffin!"He was almost crying.The Phantom Coffin was his most valuable possession. It was built using more than a dozen rare and precious medicinal herbs. He had put a lot of effort into it, but Chase was treating it like a punching bag, denting it all over with his attacks."You're dead!" The s
"Swallow it!"Chase growled. His Sea of True Energy core began to surge and boil. It overwhelmed him like huge waves from the sea, and wisps of silver-white mist steamed from him. The mist gathered to his palm and wrapped the spiritual resentment within it.The silver spiritual spring was the liquid form of the Sky Spirit Energy's essence. It could purify the physique and enhance one's potential. It could strengthen the energy and blood within the body and increase one's cultivation talent."Swallow it!"The silver mist was like a huge vortex which slowly consumed the spiritual resentment.The minuscule purple crystal sword shuddered and tore itself away from Chase's control as it shot into the air above."How is that possible?" Chase's eyes widened. He was stunned.He could sense that the spiritual resentment he had worked hard for days to train had escaped his grip because of the Phantom Sword. It was even rushing toward the outer realm.Chase quickly used his mystical techni
As the runes on the Phantom Coffin began to glow brilliantly, a deafening explosion echoed through the air. A streak of ghostly green fire erupted from the coffin, surging toward Chase."What a dense ghostly aura," Chase muttered.Marais let out a crazed laugh. "That's the Phantom Flame! It burns the soul itself. You're doomed, boy! Your soul will be reduced to ashes!"The Phantom Flame was birthed from the condensed resentment of countless trapped souls and was a force of terrifying destruction.Once it latched onto its target, extinguishing it was impossible. Marais had spent centuries cultivating just a fragment of this flame. Now, using it against Chase was both his ultimate weapon and revenge."Have you finished rambling, you old fart?" Chase's cold voice cut through the air."What?" Marais froze, confused by Chase's tone."I asked if you were done," Chase repeated as his icy eyes locked onto Marais.Golden light radiated from Chase's body like a blazing sun. His hand lash
Chase paused, his expression shifting with curiosity."What's this?" he muttered to himself."Ha! Foolish boy, this is the Phantom Coffin, a weapon I painstakingly refined over decades!" Marais sneered. "This coffin isolates everything, even your spiritual senses. You won't be able to detect my presence!""Phantom Coffin, seal the souls!" Marais intoned while his hands formed seals.A massive black coffin materialized and descended like a storm cloud, enveloping Chase. In an instant, Chase felt his head grow heavy. His vision turned blurry, and his spiritual senses waver."Childish tricks," Chase scoffed as he activated his spiritual force.Yet to his surprise, his senses detected an eerie sight within the coffin—countless trapped souls writhing and roaring in an endless struggle, as if yearning to escape their imprisonment.'Impressive. It seems Secret Sect's elders are even stronger than I anticipated,' Chase thought grimly.He could tell that these souls, even if diminished,
As soon as Chase said this, he launched another strike.The battle between Chase and Marais intensified. Their moves shifted rapidly, and in a matter of moments, they had exchanged over ten blows without a clear winner."Hmm?" Marais' expression shifted to one of surprise."Your physical strength seems to have increased," he remarked. "It appears you've consumed quite a few rare treasures. No matter—it saves me the effort!"Marais' body trembled, his clothes billowing. From his frail form, skeletal branches grew like weathered wood, weaving into black armor. This was a secret technique that enhanced his defense and sped up his recovery."This body is too old," Marais admitted coldly. "Although it holds martial deity-level power, its lifespan is nearly spent. It's no longer fit for my cultivation."Only by devouring your flesh and blood can I replenish my vitality. Perhaps then, I can be reborn!"With that, Marais pushed off the ground with explosive force, hurtling toward Chase.
Chase let out a cold laugh."Do you think such petty tricks can scare me?"Before his words had faded, Chase leaped directly into the swarm of ghostly entities. Though these phantom tactics were far from ordinary, he showed no fear."Hehe…""Delicious…""Hahaha…""Feed us!"The ghostly figures lunged at Chase with terrifying cries and wails that pierced the air. It was chilling to anyone who heard them."Just a mere gathering of dark energy, and you think it can trap me?" Chase sneered dismissively.Golden light burst forth from his body, shining like a radiant star. As he wielded his golden spear, Chase swept it across the ghostly swarm in a move that generated a violent gust, scattering the ghostly entities.His hands moved swiftly, forming intricate seals. Two streams of true energy intertwined and coalesced into a spiraling drill."Break!" Chase roared, channeling his energy into the drill and slamming it into Achilles' forehead.Achilles' skull exploded instantly, his
