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
Now that he had lost his job, how would he repay the loan that required him to pay a monthly installment of more than 100 grand? Since Alex was standing very close to him, he also heard what Sandy said.At that moment, he felt extremely remorseful. His face turned white as a sheet.He was seriously regretting it right now!He should have never crossed Chase. Now, he had even caused his father to lose his job.Suddenly, Ian knelt in front of Chase and pleaded, “Mr. Collins, please forgive me. I’m begging you!”“Get them to leave within ten minutes. If they refuse, break their legs and throw them down the mountain.”After Chase said that, he turned to go back into the villa without even sparing the father and son a glance.Sam then looked at the two men maliciously, asking, “Are you going to leave by yourselves or should I help you?”The two were frightened and quickly got into the car. They soon drove away in disappointment.…It had been more than ten minutes. Chase sat o
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we
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
