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
Edward was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. “Hahaha! What did you say? Did you just say you’re firing all of us?”“Collins, who do you think you are? What right do you have to fire us?” Anna was utterly amused.Immediately, the four of them clutched their stomachs as they laughed loudly.Riley was looking at Chase like he was a clown. At the same time, she also found him ridiculous.Chase was about to say something when the speaker in the office broadcasted with a very stern voice, “Emergency notice, all employees please come to the meeting room for CEO Collins’ speech.“It's compulsory for everyone to attend aside from the employees who are attending to business outside and the ones on leave. No one shall be absent. All department leaders, please watch over your employees and maintain order.”The speaker repeated the announcement three times.At that moment, the entire company was in an uproar.Everyone stopped what they were doing and started discussing amo
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
However, the Dark and Light Emeralds' quality was clearly better on the second level than on the first level.If the rumor about this place having nine levels were true, how much more powerful would the Dark and Light Emeralds on the ninth level be?As for Willow and her little gigolo, were they in a hurry to get to the next level because they knew a secret about the ninth level?Ricky's question made him think about this thoroughly.He was impressed.No wonder Ricky was a Supreme Elder. He had such acute observation."Do you mean to say that Willow is in a hurry to get to the ninth level?" he asked the question carefully."Haven't any of you explored the Dark and Light Mineral Ore?" Ricky frowned when he asked this."It's because the Dark and Light Emeralds we found here are only suitable for low-level cultivators, which is why…" Barnabas was embarrassed when he answered."All of you ignored the facts in front of you—the Dark and Light Emeralds, the teleportation doors, and t
Ricky had another thought. It seemed that Willow and the others were in a hurry to get through the teleportation doors. The locations they were sent to were different as well. There was no guarantee that they would arrive at the same place as Willow and the others. Besides that, every level seemed to become increasingly difficult.On the other hand, they had no idea how many levels there were after this. They did not know how many teleportation doors they had to go through.Ricky was hesitant as he looked at the teleportation door that was glowing mysteriously."Why aren't you going inside?" Dominic hurried his old nemesis when Ricky refused to budge."What do Willow and the others want by coming to this place?"Ricky was thoughtful and looked at Dominic to ask the question."What? How would I know? Let's just get this done with. Aren't we here to take the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus? Even if we can't get it, it's also worth it to take his skills and techniques. I'm estimating
"Kill them? No, no, no. I'd never dare do such a thing." The dark sorcerer quickly denied it. He thought that Barnabas and the others were Chase's family and friends when he saw the shocked looks on their faces.No one knew what might happen to him if they mistook him for their murderer."They aren't dead?"Ricky used his consciousness to sense the area. He used his vital energy to pick up the bones and rotting flesh from the ground for closer inspection.The remains looked like they had been there for years. There were also no signs of cultivation on them. Most of the bones and rotting flesh were from the corpses of common men.Dominic inspected them as well and came up with the same conclusion."Tsk… See how much you scared him, Ricky. You shouldn't be so sharp with your questions. Come here, my friend. Tell me where they went."Dominic said to Ricky sarcastically before putting on a friendly face to ask the dark sorcerer.The dark sorcerer looked at the big, plump man and fo
The dark sorcerer began to squirm like a long snake. He had thought the blade would be powerless against him. The dark sorcerer would counter-attack after that and summon the legendary Flame of Destruction to burn those three strange infiltrators to death.Unfortunately, things did not work out the way he planned.Greedy Wolf slashed him at the waist. The dark sorcerer was like a deflated balloon as his black robe fell to the ground. The black silk covering him fell as well, and black smoke wafted from it. His eyes were the only two bright spots left."How is this possible?"The black smoke's form was like the undead they had met before except it was not translucent and had a dark color. It was almost solid.The dark sorcerer's voice was not a sound that was heard in the air. Instead, it reverberated in the minds of Chase and the others.What kind of existence was he?Despite their astonishment, they were not too surprised. Besides the rotting zombie, the undead, the old hag, an
Willow could not let that happen. She forced herself to calm down while pushing it out of her sea of consciousness with great force. She became dizzy and felt like throwing up. It was a similar feeling to getting car sick.She bled from the nose. Her attempt at attacking the tower had caused some damage to her mind and soul."I can't do it. This tower can defend itself against consciousness trying to inspect it," Willow said breathlessly. "Give it up. I'm invincible here!" The dark shadow spoke up once more. Unlike before, his voice seemed to connect directly to everyone's minds.Chase felt a headache. This was only the second level and things had become complicated.He was suddenly impressed by the two people who got to level seven."Stop playing tricks, Dark Sorcerer, or I'll blow up your sorcerer's tower," Chase said grimly. He used the Passive Concentration Technique and the Light Deity Technique to broadcast his words.This dark sorcerer was inclined to use unorthodox te
