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
Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was
Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.
Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were
"No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami
Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the
Chase watched as Fallon chatted with others and did not answer his question.He was furious with Fallon for ignoring him.Chase immediately used Thousand Eyes and Flowers, which he had learned from Jade. A firewall slowly burned behind him. The eye of the fire kept shooting flames as it slowly gathered more flames.The air around it was like an oven as the temperature shot up continuously."Step back."Chase warned Willow and the others.Willow and Walter were the only ones who knew about his sisters.They took several steps back to avoid the range of Chase's Thousand Eyes and Flowers. Willow and Walter showed Yara and Lisa images of Chase's sisters to explain the situation."These two sisters of Chase are really beautiful. The one in white looks adorable while the one in purple looks so dashing. Tsk, tsk. I had no idea he had such good fortune."Yara praised Olivia and Hanna when he saw their images.Willow and Lisa felt a little jealous. "They're all right."They replied w
They objected to Carla and Fallon's relationship from the very start.Both of them were happy to see them fight.If Carla could break up with Fallon, they might consider forgiving Carla for setting up the Severance Formation against them.After all, it would be good for her if she learned her lesson.Tack and Norm waited to see how Fallon would handle this.Norm knew nothing about this, but Tack was sure of one thing. Chase's sisters were in his hands.Besides them, one of Chase's seven sisters was in the hands of a Supreme Elder from the Nefarious Deity sect.Fallon had been wondering about Chase's sisters when Carla suddenly accused him of this. He could not help sighing quietly.What did he do to deserve this?"Would you believe me if I told you I don't know who his sisters are?" Fallon said bitterly."Believe you? If I'm right about this, Chase Collins is working with Willow because he wants to find his sisters. He already has the Nefarious Deity Sect locked down as the p
At the tournament venue, Chase watched as Yara held Willow's hand while Willow was holding Lisa's hand. All three of them came toward him in a line.He looked at them strangely.Yara had forgotten that she was dressed as a man, and it looked quite striking to be holding two women's hands.The spectators and Yara's die-hard fans burned with jealousy when they saw their ideal man being close to Willow, who should know better. They became agitated as all sorts of speculations crossed their minds. They started to curse at Willow."Who's that slut? How dare she seduce Yara?""Tear her apart right now! Go on! What are you waiting for?""Vixen! She's shameless. How could she be good enough for Yara when she's so ugly?""Tsk, tsk. Could she have drugged him? Why does Yara look excited? There's no way he could be interested in a mediocre woman like her when he's such a gorgeous specimen.""Look at the three of them running toward Chase Collins. Is this some sort of new play? Looks excit
Every powerhouse around them must have tried to sense it and come to the same conclusion as her.None of them dared to act rashly.All the top fighters from the sixth level have gathered there to quietly watch Chase, the Chosen One, enter the Holy Path.However, he told everyone that he was waiting for others.All of them had no choice but to wait with him.The people he was waiting for had finally arrived.Yara appeared hurriedly and entered the tournament ring along with Willow and Lisa."Who's that good-looking man?"Tack asked Fallon.Fallon and Carla looked at each other. He answered in exasperation, "That's Yara Fries, who is actually a woman."Tack and Norm did not believe him. Yara may have exceptional looks and could be viewed as a formidable character, but there was no doubt that he was a man.They exclaimed at the same time, "A woman?" "Yes. Yara possesses the phoenix bloodline. Every time Yara goes through the Rising, he will go through a gender change and his
