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

    Soon, Quinn and Elaine drove to La Fleur.Coincidentally, Chase was walking out of the building. After the meeting, someone from the South River City Hall would come for an inspection.He did not like engaging with these people, so he asked Sandy to entertain them while he took his leave.After Quinn got out of the car, she spotted him and was a little astonished. “Why are you here, Chase?”“I was here for a meeting.” Chase walked to the two women.“Did you see Mr. Collins? I want to meet him,” Quinn asked expectantly.“Why do you want to meet him?” Chase asked, feeling stunned.She replied, “It’s all thanks to him that we got the investment. So, I want to thank him in person.”“I see.”“Tell me, did you see Mr. Collins?” Quinn rolled her eyes at Chase.Next to her, Elaine was also excited to hear Chase's answer.“Haven't you already seen him?”“Where?” Quinn was confused.“I’m right in front of you.” Chase winked at her.After he said that, the two women’s eyes widened.

    “That middle-aged man we saw just now must be Mr. Collins.”Elaine took a sharp intake of breath and sneered as she said, “Hmph. To think that Chase would claim to be Mr. Collins himself. What a load of lies. It’s fortunate that we didn’t believe him.”She felt deeper disdain and disgust for Chase.…Night came.Chase was leaning against the railings on the top floor of Emgrand Tower while he smoked.The light from the cigarette lit up the outline of his face clearly.While he waited for the cigarette to finish burning, he said slowly, “It’s already the second day. Has anyone from the Harrigans gone to repent in front of the graves of Grandpa Gideon and the others?”“None of the Harrigans have done it,” Sam replied with his head lowered.“Looks like they don't fear death!"Chase looked up, and there was a deep murderous look in his eyes. “If this is the way they want it, I’ll kill them until all of them are shaking with fear!”Sam knew that someone would be dying tonight whe

    The dagger was pulled out, and blood splattered everywhere."You…" Vaughn was so shocked that his eyes widened."This guy… He has strong willpower…"The others took a sharp breath with a wary look in their eyes. That man had come to them of his own accord and allowed them to stab him in the shoulder with a dagger. If this were some other person, that person would be howling with pain.However, this man did not make a sound. He even used the pain from the stab to erupt with power."I'll kill you!" Vaughn roared as his muscles swelled up. Energy erupted all over him as he raised his hand to hit Chase viciously on the head.Chase raised his palm to block the attack. He used force with his wrist, and a crack was heard. Vaughn's arms were broken. After that, Chase crushed his throat and he lost the chance to even struggle from the grip.A human head rolled to the ground."That's vicious!" Shocked voices began discussing this.Everyone watched on.Chase wiped the remaining blood fr

    Chase was more than a hundred miles away from the small town at the foot of the mountain. He moved at the speed of lightning to get there. When he finally arrived at the small town outside the valley, it was noontime.Many martial artists were gathered at the foot of the mountain. Corpses of the Secret Sect disciples were strewn all over the streets."Looks like many people barged into the valley to save others last night, but they ended up in a heated fight instead." Chase shook his head.Among the corpses were those who were wearing uniforms of Secret Sect disciples while others were in ordinary village clothes. Some had blood and dirt on them. They had clearly died not too long ago."Huh?"Chase's gaze fell onto the chest of a corpse. The height and body of the corpse were not usual. There was also a unique tattoo on its chest.Chase stared at it for a while, and he slowly frowned. "That's the tattoo of the Secret Sect!"He recognized the tattoo. It was the mark of the Secret

    The man in black, who was the leader, grunted coldly. He pulled a saber from his waist and came attacking Chase."You're dead!"A murderous look shot out of Chase's eyes.Chase rushed forward with the speed of lightning. He was like a cheetah on the hunt and was soon fighting with the man in black. They had only just started fighting.An arm broke, and blood gushed out. The blood stained his chest, and he flew about three to four feet away.The man in black looked frightened. He could not believe it. He was a martial deity. How did he get defeated by garbage who was just a mere martial monarch?"How is this possible—"Before he could finish, Chase swept a vicious kick at him. He kicked the man right in the head. His brain exploded with blood and pieces of his brain matter splattering everywhere."Kill him!" The remaining people were angered. They came attacking Chase at the same time.Chase faced them coolly. He slaughtered them quickly as he moved around them like a phantom g

    "Chase Collins?"Upon hearing his name, the expressions of the man and woman in green shifted dramatically."That's right, it's me," Chase replied coolly."How did you find us?" the man asked sharply.Chase scoffed without offering an explanation. It was clear they recognized him, so he saw no reason to waste his words."If you know me, then answer one question," Chase said, fixing his piercing gaze on the man. He spoke slowly, enunciating each word, "Where is she?"Quinn, Lyana, and his other sisters were his family. Their safety was paramount to him.The man's expression flickered between hesitation and uncertainty."I don't know what you're talking about," he finally said while shaking his head slowly."Heh, so you refuse to answer?" Chase's eyes narrowed sharply. "If that's the case, don't blame me for what happens next!"He raised his arm, and a brilliant silver light began to radiate from his palm.The man's face paled, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! I admit it! We k

    Time slowly passed.Three hours later, a muffled sound resonated as the energy in Chase's body surged dramatically. His cultivation had advanced to the next stage of the martial monarch realm, and his vitality was brimming with unmatched strength."I've finally reached this stage of the martial monarch realm!"He exhaled deeply and stood up.After stabilizing his current progress, he resumed alchemy, intending to take advantage of his momentum to refine three more Spirit Gathering Pills.Half an hour later, the pills were complete.Chase swallowed one without hesitation. A surge of potent medicinal energy coursed through his body, refining his flesh and bones.A guttural growl escaped him as his pores opened, expelling impurities from his body like a coiling serpent. As time went on, the energy around Chase gradually stabilized, and his complexion regained its healthy glow."Phew... It's finally done," Chase murmured in relief. He then carefully stored the remaining two pills.

    "The rarer the spiritual herb, the greater its potency. For refining a Spirit Gathering Pill, the primary ingredient is the Three-Striped Purple Sun Herb. In addition to that, six supplementary herbs are needed. If I gather them all, it should be enough," Chase mused before forming a plan."My body has been tempered to a considerable degree. Refining a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills shouldn't pose much of a problem," he said with a confident smile.'Alchemy is indeed effective, but the mental energy it consumes is enormous. At my current state, I can refine, at most, five pills a day. Still, even five Spirit Gathering Pills a day is an incredible fortune,' Chase thought with satisfaction.With that in mind, he sat cross-legged, retrieved his pill furnace and the required herbs, and followed the instructions in the Emperor's Alchemy Codex to begin refining.Everything went smoothly.In just a short while, a perfectly round and glistening Spirit Gathering Pill was produced."This

    Moments later, silence settled over the area.Chase rose from the ground and dusted himself off."Huh? Did I just break through?"He suddenly realized that his strength had increased yet again. The sensation was peculiar but unmistakable—his cultivation had advanced to another level.'No matter. I need to leave first,' he thought.Chase turned and began to walk away. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped abruptly."Hmm?" His brows furrowed together as he detected an unusual fluctuation in the surrounding energy. He paused, tilting his head and focusing his senses.After a moment, he opened his eyes and smirked coldly. Through his heightened perception, he had noticed someone—a small fry—spying on him."Haha, you little brat, I've finally caught you!"A sinister laugh echoed, and a man dressed in black battle attire emerged. His expression was twisted with rage.Meanwhile, his eyes locked onto Chase, and they were brimming with killing intent."You killed my senior, Kit L

    A sharp burst of sword energy tore through the air, instantly shattering the purple fire meteor and continuing its relentless trajectory toward the elder."Impossible!" The elder's face twisted in terror.Chase's strike had not only destroyed the fire meteor but also left the elder defenseless against its force. Did this mean he could not even withstand a single move from Chase?"Impressive. A late-stage martial monarch like you truly lives up to your reputation," Chase remarked while nodding slightly. However, this time felt different from his previous battles.During his clash with the Lacroix family, he had been forced to his limits, relying on forbidden techniques and risking his life to achieve victory.Yet now, as Chase unleashed his full power, he felt the energy within his core surging like an unstoppable river, faster and more refined than ever before.His core had evolved into an energy pool, and his body was tempered and strengthened. Every fiber of his being pulsed wi

    Suddenly, the void rippled as if disturbed by waves. Two large doors materialized and slowly opened. A hunched old man in gray robes stepped out from within, leaning on a cane. His presence exuded an air of ancient decay and twilight.Chase's gaze sharpened as he observed the elder."A stage-nine martial monarch," Chase murmured, his tone laced with surprise.The elder's appearance puzzled Chase. He had no recollection of this figure, only a faint impression of his withered and sunken face."Youth is a precious gift. To reach the early martial monarch stage at such a young age is extraordinary. If you're willing, join me, and I'll accept you as my disciple," the elder said as his gentle eyes rested on Chase.The elder's voice was calm and reassuring, as though he had long been acquainted with Chase."Apologies, but I'm not interested in joining any sect or faction," Chase replied flatly.Martial deity-level opponents did not concern him; he could fight them head-on.
