At La Fleur, Raymond immediately asked the moment Edward hung up, “What did he say, Edward?”“He said he’ll come to the office right now,” Edward replied with a sneer.“Haha. Great. I can’t wait to see the expression on his face,” Raymond was gleeful about this.He was not the only one. Even Anna and Riley were looking forward to it.Edward grunted coldly and said, “Just watch. I’ll teach that bumpkin a proper lesson.”He felt humiliated at the memory of Chase making him kneel the night before. He could not wait to regain his dignity in front of Chase.Edward’s phone suddenly rang. The call was from Whitney. “Edward, I’m at the door of your company along with Yvie and Ted.”He replied, “Alright. Wait for me in the company’s meeting room. The human resource manager will be interviewing them. I’ve already informed him about you guys.”“That’s great. Thank you, Edward. I’ll make sure to remember your help.”Whitney said this gleefully and hung up.Her son, Ted, immediately asked
Chase shrugged. He did not want to waste time with them and he went straight into the office.That was when Sandy called him on the phone. “Are you at the company, Mr. Collins?”“I am. What’s wrong?” Chase asked.Sandy quickly said, “We’ve recently found you some suitable candidates as your driver and secretary. Do you want to interview them personally?”Chase was about to let Sandy make the decision when he suddenly remembered Whitney, Yvette, and Ted.He asked, “When does the interview start?”“We can begin the interview immediately. They’re already here at the company. The interview location is in the meeting room,” Sandy said.“Alright. I’ll go over immediately.”Chase nodded and turned to walk into the washroom.As Edward had already informed the company about Yvette and Ted being there for the interview, both of them were led directly into the meeting room.The employee in charge of the interview received a call and suddenly said, “Please hold on. Our CEO will be here t
It was Chase.When he scanned the meeting room, he spotted Yvette and Ted sitting upright and still.It was them.At that moment, Chase touched his nose with a shocked look.“Chase?”When Yvette and Ted saw Chase, their eyes widened in shock.“Damn it, why did he follow us in here? He’s like a pesky fly.”Ted’s expression changed as he growled, “He must be mad that we scolded him just now, so he came here to cause trouble.”“Ted, what should we do?” Yvette was nervous.They had prepared for so long for the interview today.They would be so regretful if Chase ruined it for them.“Don’t worry, I’ll kick this kid out.” Ted gritted his teeth and walked toward Chase.Blocking Chase, he asked with a dark expression, “Collins, why are you here?”“I’m interviewing you,” Chase replied.“You?”Ted scoffed. “Who do you think you are? You’re not qualified to interview us.“I think you’re just here to cause trouble. If you’re smart, you should get lost right now or I won’t spare you
Silas yelped in pain and took out his phone to call the head of security, Barrett. “Mr. Carlton, someone’s making a scene at the company. Come over with your men right now!“Yes, the meeting room.”After he hung up, Silas looked at Chase coldly, “I’ve called security. It’s over for you!”“Oh yeah? I’ll wait.” Chase let go of him and sat down indifferently.“Collins, how dare you hit Silas? You’re in trouble now!” Yvette chuckled in schadenfreude.Ted also smiled maliciously. “You loser. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You must be thinking that since you’re going to get fired anyway, you should just go all out.“But I’m not scared of you. Silas can be our witness when Mr. Collins gets here later.“Do you think we’ll fail the interview after you make a scene? How preposterous.”“Ted is right.” Silas nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll be your witness when Mr. Collins gets here later.”…After Barrett hung up the call in the security office, he waved his hand and called ou
When Ted and Yvette saw that, they were stunned.Did they hear him correctly? Did he just call Chase 'Mr. Collins'?Silas was stunned. Then, he roared, “Mr. Carlton, what are you doing? That kid isn't…”“Shut the hell up!” Barrett roared at him. At this moment, he wanted to chop Silas into pieces. “You blind fool! This is our CEO, Mr. Collins! How dare you insult him?!”Silas heard an explosion going off in his head. He was completely petrified.‘That kid is Mr. Collins! How is that possible?’ he wondered to himself.Then, his face turned pale because Barrett would not have made a mistake. If that were the case, did this not mean Silas’ career was over?“No! No way!”Suddenly, Yvette shrieked, “How is he Mr. Collins? I don’t believe you!”At this moment, her features were contorted, and she was howling like a ghoul.The poor guy she looked down on was actually the CEO of a listed company.This realization felt like a heavy strike to her chest. Her heart was about to break in
This was not over yet. Sandy lifted her head to look at Yvette and Ted before saying, “I’m officially declaring that you’ve failed your interview. From now on, you’ll be blacklisted by us, never to be hired by La Fleur!" Yvette and Ted shuddered, their faces filled with remorse.“Kick them out!”With a wave of her hand, Sandy turned to leave.Barrett smirked coldly as he looked at Silas, Ted, and Yvette. Then, he waved his hand and ordered, “Kick these three idiots out!”The bodyguards behind him rushed over and carried the three out.…This was the first time Chase was entering his CEO's office in La Fleur. He nodded in satisfaction as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the view.He had to admit that La Fleur had chosen an amazing location. Even though this was the city center where every inch of land was extremely precious, he could still have a vast view of the river from a distance.At this moment, someone knocked on his door.“Come in.” Chase sat down.
At the entrance to La Fleur, a small commotion was taking place.“Madam, you can't enter our company. We hope to seek your understanding for this."The security guards stopped Whitney as they explained non-stop.Whitney placed her hands on her hips, shouting angrily, “You’re just a bunch of guard dogs! How dare you stop me from going in?“I’m not afraid to tell you that I know the assistant general manager, Edward Wright!“When I see him, I’ll report you all to him so that you’ll get fired!”After she said that, the security guards’ faces fell.The leader said carefully, “Y-You know Mr. Wright?”“Yeah!”Whitney chuckled arrogantly. “Not only that but my daughter and son are going to be the secretary and driver of your CEO.“If you dare to treat me like this, don't dream of me sparing you in the future!”The security guards were scared, so they quickly switched from arrogance to deference. “Madam, it’s all a misunderstanding. You can go in now.”Whitney became even more arro
“Let’s wait for a little longer.”After he said that, he got a call from Whitney.Edward quickly sat up and shushed the others. “Whitney’s calling. I think they’ve passed the interview.”When he answered, Edward chuckled and said, “So, how was it?”“You son of a bitch!” Whitney cursed in exasperation the moment the call went through.“Why are you cursing at me?” Edward’s face fell as he asked in annoyance.Whitney continued, “You scoundrel, I’m kind enough for just cursing at you. If the security guards hadn't kicked us out, I would've already killed you!"“What did you say? You were kicked out? What happened?” Edward’s expression changed.When Riley and the others heard this, they all looked over.Whitney roared into the phone, “You asshole, why are you still putting on an act? If it wasn't because of you, Ted and Yvette wouldn’t have offended Mr. Collins!”“Mom, let me speak to that son of a bitch.” Ted snatched the phone over and said through gritted teeth, “Edward, you ba
"Kill him!"These martial artists were all powerful fighters. Even the weakest among them was a peak eighth-tier semi-saint. They sensed with their consciousness that Halver had been defeated.All of the Webers' powerhouses were filled with hate and anger. They took out their weapons and lunged toward Chase in an attack.The look in Chase's eye became even colder when the Webers retaliated. "I'll destroy the Webers today and get those two medicinal herbs after."A huge sword shadow formed behind Chase. The sword flash swept in all directions, destroying all of the weapons in the attack against Chase.Chase took another step forward. The sword in hand dazzled so brightly that it hurt the eyes. The light covered every corner as if about to destroy everything.It took only a short time for the Webers' powerhouses to be slaughtered. They did not even have the chance to retaliate. They were as weak as sick chickens.Cletus was shocked, feeling his hair stand on end. It felt like deat
Everyone was delighted.Halver Weber, the master of the Weber Secret Sect, was a peak martial arts saint. He was the second most powerful man after the Supreme Elder of the Webers.Two old men in black stood next to him with powerful auras. One of them was the leader of the Webers' Enshrined, Dennis Cloy. The other man was Halver's brother, Cletus."Who are you? How dare you barge into the Weber residence?! Don't you know that the Webers are Capital City's top family?" Halver said with a cold look on his face."Top family?" Chase laughed condescendingly and said with indifference, "I heard that the Webers possess two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. Bring them out here. Give me those herbs and the Webers will live. Otherwise…"Chase paused at this point. He swept a glance at all the Webers present. A cynical smile appeared on his face. "This isn't much. The Webers are nothing to me!"Halver was enraged and roared, "What arrogance! Don't blame us for retaliating with force now t
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
