Bianca suddenly smiled and glanced at Chase, who was about ten steps away from her.The next moment, she yelled out daintily and took a step forward to punch Chase.She was wearing high heels and stumbled as she ran. She looked quite comical.Chase shook his head in exasperation.How smart she was to be wearing high heels to train.As expected, Bianca tripped when she got near to Chase. She fell right onto him.“Are you alright?” Chase held her around the waist in reflex. He was afraid that she would expose herself if she fell.“Urm… My feet hurt…” Bianca said painfully.Chase looked down and realized that her high heel had broken. She must have broken it when she ran.“Can you stand?” Chase asked.“No, I can’t. It really hurts…” Bianca tried to stand up but felt a sharp pain. She fell into Chase’s arms again.The next moment, her face flushed red.They were in an awkwardly intimate position.Moreover, they were very near each other, and she caught a whiff of the nice scen
Quinn did not take the tissues from her.She was repeating to herself silently, 'Quinn Norris should not cry!'Chase and she had gotten married and were ‘living together’.However, that was only because they were following the wishes of her grandfather. Neither of them took it seriously.Moreover, she had no feelings for Chase. It was only normal for him to be with another woman.If that was the basis of their relationship, what right did Quinn have to cry?Even so, she could not control her tears from falling.She was really sad to see Chase and Bianca acting so intimate. It felt like something precious of hers had been snatched away by another person.Why would Quinn feel that way?She shook her head hard, and an incredulous thought appeared in her mind.Could it be because… she had fallen for Chase?No!That was not possible!Little Rocky was the person she liked. She would never fall for another man besides him.Quinn quickly stopped imagining wild thoughts. She did n
“Please be careful with your words. What did I do to offend you?” Chase frowned as he asked.He did not want to lose his temper at this woman on account of Henry.“How dare you ask that?”Laura roared at him, “What did you do? You caused my Riley to be fired by her company and she had to run off to another city. She’s even refusing to contact her family.“You need to explain yourself today or I won’t let you off.”Since Riley got fired by Chase, her emotions had been unstable. She became much more silent than before and refused to speak to her parents when she got home.Henry and Laura realized something was wrong with her, and they found out she was fired after talking to her.However, Riley refused to tell them the reason for being fired.Riley bought a ticket to Lainesville yesterday morning and left with luggage in hand.Laura thought that Chase must have done something to turn her daughter this way.When Chase found out the reason, he asked, “Aunt Laura, didn’t Riley exp
“Who is this?” Chase frowned as he looked at the young man.“Allow me to introduce you, Chase. This is Alex Landon. That’s his father, Ian Landon. You can just call him Mr. Ian.”Henry smiled and introduced Chase to them. He added, “Ian used to be my superior. He’s now the newly appointed general manager of La Fleur.” The newly appointed general manager?Chase glanced at Ian. He must have gotten appointed after the meeting that Chase held ended the last time.Otherwise, he would have recognized this man.Ian acted arrogantly upon meeting Chase’s eyes. He did not give Chase a second glance.He acted as if Chase was not worth his time at all.Chase did not mind and found himself a seat.Alex’s face fell when he saw Chase being indifferent. “Are you deaf? I was just asking you a question.”“Were you speaking to me just now?” Chase tilted his head to look at Alex.“Who else could be talking to you? A pig?” Alex grunted coldly.Chase nodded and said, “You’re right. I did think
Ian had just taken on the position and had no idea how they had offended the CEO.That was why Henry wanted to find out more from Chase.Chase softened his expression before saying, “I’ll be honest with you. Riley, Edward, and the others were fired by me.”Everyone thought they had heard wrong when Chase answered them.Alex burst out laughing. “What did you just say? You were the one who fired them?“Are you listening to yourself? My dad found out from the company employees that Riley and the others were fired by the CEO. What does their matter have to do with a country bumpkin like you?”Chase replied nonchalantly, “That’s because I’m the CEO of La Fleur.”Alex was taken aback but immediately laughed so hard that he had to clutch his stomach. “You guys, did you hear that? This rascal claims to be the CEO of La Fleur.”Ian was laughing as well. “Henry, I have to admit that this brat that you’re so protective of is making me laugh really hard.”“Just listen to him, Henry. He’s
Ian and Alex were taken aback. They did not expect Chase to agree so readily.However, they immediately sniggered.He was still putting up an act.They wanted to see how long he could keep it up.It would be interesting to see how he would react when they arrived at Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1!They did not say anything further but immediately got everyone downstairs.“See that car, Collins?”Alex pointed at the black SUV parked by the road. “That’s a BMW X5 that’s worth 700,000 to 800,000. You’ve probably never sat in one before, have you?”Chase nodded and replied, “No, I haven’t.”'Bumpkin!' Alex said this in his heart and he burst out laughing. It gave him a sense of superiority.He suddenly saw Chase take out his phone to call someone.“What are you doing?” Alex asked.“Making a call to fire your dad.”Chase said to Alex and later spoke on the phone to Sandy, “Is our newly appointed general manager called Ian Landon?”“Yes, Mr. Collins. I was planning to update y
It took a while for Alex to snap out of it. He turned to look at Chase with a snigger and said, “Didn’t you say this villa belonged to you, Collins? Prove it to us.”“That’s right. Prove it to us,” Ian also began pushing Chase about it.Chase was about to say something.However, Henry suddenly sighed and said, “Let’s just go back, Chase. I hope you’ll treat today as a lesson and be truthful from now onward. Never exaggerate your words again.”“Don’t you believe me?” Chase raised an eyebrow.“What’s there to believe?”Laura sneered and said, “You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think you’re good enough for a villa as luxurious as this?“We've never believed you. We came with you to see you getting embarrassed.“What a pity that your shamelessness knows no bounds. You’re still trying to maintain the act now that we’re here.”Everyone turned to look at Chase with laughter in their eyes. They looked like they were looking at a clown.The door to the vill
At this moment, Henry and the group were dumbstruck. It was as if they were under a spell.Shock, horror, and amazement appeared on their faces interchangeably.“A country bumpkin?”“The owner of Villa No.1 at Imperial Dragon Bay?”“Sam called him 'Chief'?”Those identities appeared in their brains one after another. Feeling like they had been struck by a bolt from the blue, they remained frozen. After all, they would never have connected those identities with Chase themselves as it would be too ridiculous.If they had not seen it happen with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.The faces of Alex and his father turned pale.They had offended a big shot who was so powerful that the Kingpin of South River City had to kneel to him and call him 'Chief'!Moreover, before they came here, they had been bad-mouthing Chase and even insulting him.Laura started shaking like a leaf in the wind. Aside from shock and horror, there was also remorse on her face.She had und
"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
