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

    Not long after Sam left Villa No.1 at Imperial Dragon Bay, Bianca called Chase and told him that there was an auction at South River City tomorrow afternoon.The spiritual brush Chase was looking for was being auctioned off.Aside from that, Bianca also mentioned that there would be a lot of big shots at the auction.“I didn’t expect so many people to pay attention to just a mere auction.”After Chase hung up, he frowned and murmured to himself, “I hope they’re not after the brush. Or else, they shouldn’t blame me for snatching it from them.”Aside from his seven sisters, Julia was the only survivor of the tragedy.Perhaps she knew where the seven women were. Since curing Julia was an urgent matter, Chase would not allow the spiritual brush to end up with others.…Quinn lost count of how many sleepless nights she had.She lay on her bed and stared blankly at the ceiling on top of her.She did not dare to fall asleep and could not fall asleep either.It was because as soon a

    "How did they die if I didn't kill them?" Chase shook his head coolly. "These garbage are not worth a mention.""You… You're really cruel…" The plump woman shivered. There was fear in her pretty eyes. She had a different expectation of someone like Chase. Someone like him should be a gentleman. How could he be someone so cruel and vicious?"Who are you? Why did you kill the Secret Sect disciples?" someone roared. There was a coldness in the voice.A group of martial artists in black walked into the restaurant. A black-robed man was in the lead—Huck Brennan.Huck was standing outside the restaurant. He was surrounded by people, but none of them dared to get within three feet of him. There seemed to be an invisible wall around him that put a distance between him and the people. He intimidated the crowd.Behind Huck were several martial monarchs. Each of them was powerful in their respective abilities, especially the peak martial monarchs. They were very close to becoming extreme mar

    "Unfortunately, you shouldn't have crossed me."Not long after he said this, he dealt a kick. He kicked one of the men at the waist with great strength. The man flew several yards away, his spine breaking from the kick.There was one last person left. He was extremely frightened and turned toward the deep alley to run."Huh?"Chase raised an eyebrow.That man was attempting to escape. Could he have sensed danger at that moment and enhanced his power based on a last-minute judgment, which helped him escape?"I've said before that none of you can leave!" Chase said coldly. He leaped up and moved with great agility. His legs strode in the air, and a kick whipped out at the head of a man who was trying to escape.The martial monarch flew off about a dozen feet from the impact. He crashed into a row of tables, and half of his face had caved in. All his teeth were crushed."What witchcraft is that?" The remaining person turned pale."You're not good enough to know anything!"

    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
