“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

    At this moment, Raymond pointed at Chase and asked, “Edward, what should we do with him? The broadcast stated that all employees should be present, and no one is allowed to miss it.”Edward was also at a loss.Even though he had fired Chase, they had not completed the termination process yet. Chase was still technically an employee.Edward’s expression changed as he said, “Whatever, we'll just take him with us. We can ask him to get lost after the meeting.”Once he said that, he looked at Chase coldly. “Collins, you’re so lucky that you get to see the CEO before you leave the company.”Then, the group headed to the meeting room.Many employees had already arrived inside the huge meeting room. At the moment, everyone was talking among themselves. When Edward came in with his group, a middle-aged man in a suit greeted him, “Mr. Wright, you’re here.”The man’s name was Victor Lewis, and he was also an assistant general manager at La Fleur. He had a pretty good relationship with Edw

    “Don’t worry, Mr. Lewis. We’re good at keeping secrets.” Edward patted his chest as he made his promise. When Victor saw this, he cleared his throat and said, “Half a month ago, I went to see Mr. Collins. Back then, he had just taken over the company, so he was a little confused. Hence, he asked me to drink with him so that I could give him some pointers.”As he said that, he looked at the group and said proudly, “Mr. Collins even sent a helicopter to send me to his expensive villa. Then, he even took out the million-dollar red wine that he had been saving for years to welcome me.”“Really?”Edward and the gang were so intrigued that they even sat up straighter.“Of course!” Victor nodded. “Do you know that Mr. Collins’ villa is huge and luxurious? I saw 18 maids at his house, and they’re all gorgeous with fair skin and long legs!“Not only that, even his toilet is made from pure gold!”Victor's words were getting more and more beyond reasonable limits. However, the group did n

    As Victor was feeling pleased with himself, Chase started scoffing again.Before Victor could fly into a fit of rage, Chase said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you, but I just can’t help it.”“Kid, I’ve been putting up with you for so long!” Victor roared, his face contorting in anger.“Well, I have to correct you.”Chase was in between laughter and tears as he continued, “Firstly, Mr. Collins doesn’t have 18 maids. He’s a normal man, but he’s not a pervert.“Secondly, he doesn’t have a toilet made from pure gold. Even though he’s rich, it doesn’t mean he has horrible taste.“Thirdly, he doesn’t have eight women. In reality, at this moment, he only has one."Chase paused and then added seriously, “Lastly, Mr. Collins has never drunk with you nor wanted to declare you guys as brothers.“Say, you’re pretty good at making stuff up. It’s a waste that you’re not an author.”Edward and the others had their jaws on the floor. At the same time, they were looking at each other

    When Anna saw what Chase was doing, her expression changed. “Chase, what are you doing?”Edward and the others turned to look at Chase too when they heard what Anna said.“Collins, are you insane? Sit down!” Edward’s face turned pale.Everyone was waiting for the CEO to go onstage, but Chase stood up all of a sudden. Those who did not know might think Chase was Mr. Collins.Riley was also horrified. She quickly said, “Chase, are you crazy? You don’t have to seek revenge on Edward this way even if he fired you.”“Edward, stop him,” Raymond quickly reminded Edward.Victor was the last one to come back to his senses. When he did, he growled, “Mr. Wright, stop him! If not, he’ll implicate all of us.”Edward gritted his teeth and got up to grab Chase. He tried his best to soften his voice as he said, “Chase, I was just joking back then. I won’t fire you, so please sit down.”“Why should I? Miss Lawson is asking me to go up,” Chase said as he pushed Edward’s hand away.“Are you nuts

    The female employees were the most excited as they all looked like love-struck fools.Compared to them, Edward and his group were completely baffled as if they had been struck by lightning.The impact of this was too big, so they struggled to accept what they had just seen.“Chase is Mr. Collins? How is that possible?”Edward’s eyes were widened in shock.No way!No way this was real!Anna and Edward were also in disbelief, their faces paling before turning red and going back to pale. They refused to believe this; they simply did not dare to.However, the facts were right in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it.“H-How did this happen? How is this possible?” Riley staggered backward.She bit her lip until the skin broke. At the same time, her face was extremely pale.She had always thought that Chase, a country bumpkin, was not a suitable match for her.Thus, she insisted on canceling her engagement with Chase to become Edward’s girlfriend.She was proud o

    At Chase's declaration, Anna and Raymond fell to the floor.Their faces were ashen, and their eyes were filled with intense remorse.They would never have targeted Chase like that if they had known that Chase was Mr. Collins.However, they could not turn back time.Meanwhile, the other employees were looking at the three with a look of schadenfreude on their faces.Even though they did not know why the three were fired, they could vaguely tell this group of people had offended the CEO.Chase did not explain. Instead, he looked around the room and asked, “Where's Assistant General Manager Victor Lewis?”Victor, sitting on the floor, shuddered and got up to stammer, “M-Mr. Collins, I’m here…”Chase looked at him with a fake smile and asked, “I have a question for you. When did I ever drink with you or want to declare us as close as brothers?"Victor’s face turned pale. Suddenly, he lifted his hand to slap himself on the face. “M-Mr. Collins, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied an

    A pile of things was thrown out ruthlessly at the front door of the company.The head of security, Barrett, smirked coldly at Edward and the others. “Take your things and get lost.”“Carlton, you'd better watch your tone with me. I was the assistant general manager…” Edward said, feeling humiliated.Right after he finished saying that, Barrett hit him with his baton. “Get lost now. If you say another word, I’ll kill you.”Edward was more obedient now. He took his things and left the company.“Edward, should we just let this be?” Raymond said angrily.“Yeah, Edward. When I think about that kid’s proud face, I get so mad that my chest starts hurting!" Anna also said furiously.Edward touched the bump on his head as he said through gritted teeth, “Let this be? No way.“Even if Collins is a big shot, that’s only limited to within the company. Once he’s out of the company, I'll have ways to deal with him.“Just wait. I’ll go back and ask for some money from my dad so that I can hir

    "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.
