Penulis: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
"Mr. Calder, I understand you want to keep your dignity, and I've given in to you. But don't push it too far!" Zara lowered her voice when she saw Asher persisting.

"What dignity? Zara, what are you talking about? Since you unilaterally decided to reject the role yesterday, then return the advance payment and pay the breach of contract penalty. Otherwise, I'll have to resort to legal procedures!" Asher reiterated.

"Mr. Calder, are you serious?" Zara looked incredulous.

"What do you think?"

"Do you know that if I leave, Bateman Consortium will withdraw its investment and your production won't be able to continue?" Zara made one last effort.

"No need for you to worry about that, Miss Bateman. I have my way with the funds. Let me tell you, as soon as you walked out, someone else invested a hundred million," Asher said calmly.

"Who? Which company?" Zara was furious, demanding to know.

Just then, Chase and Enola arrived.

"It's him!" Asher directly pointed to Chase. He left Zara behi

    Zara actually had not left yet and had been waiting until now."What's up?" Chase did not put down his lunch box and just coldly asked."Chase, I'm here to apologize for what happened yesterday. I wasn't targeting you; I just couldn't stand the director randomly bringing people into the crew. After all, this drama isn't just the director's; we've all put in effort. "But today, after observing you, I found that you're really suited for acting. So, I came to apologize to you and invite you to have a meal together. How about it?" Zara appeared apologetic."No need for a meal. This lunch box is pretty good. Just say what you need to." Chase shifted his lunch box and said."Chase, give me a chance. I won't hide the truth from you. After watching you act all morning, I realized I've fallen for you," Zara said with a half-hearted attempt.Chase felt a chill run down his spine."Stop right there."Chase quickly stood up, preparing to leave."Chase, give me a chance.

    “Follow me. It wasn’t easy for you to make the trip. I’ll get you something to eat. There'll be a meeting here later. I’ll bring you along to gain some experience.” Enzo released his hand and led them into the suite.“Is he really your older brother?” Chase asked curiously after Enzo left the room.“Of course. I’m a Langdon, and so is he,” Enola replied matter-of-factly.“Is he your real brother?” Chase asked further.“Um… Alright, I’ll be honest with you. I was adopted by my parents, but they never lied to me about it. They treat me like their real daughter, and my brother dotes on me a lot too. He treats me like his real sister,” Enola said with a happy look on her face.“Where are your parents?” Chase asked curiously. Chase had known Enola for a while but never heard her talk about them before.“My parents died in an accident when I just started out in the entertainment industry. Enzo had to stop his studies overseas and return to Chitara to take over the family business. My b

    Even Chase was stunned.However, owning only one would not be of much use.His dead master had told him before that the current cultivating world no longer contained much spiritual energy. Chase did not expect to see a spiritual stone at this auction.The spiritual stone was a result of culminating spiritual energy.Could there be more than one if this particular stone was found via stone gambling?Chase decided to buy this spiritual stone.“Two hundred thousand!”Enola turned to look at him curiously when she heard him call a bid.“What do you want the ruby for, Chase? Rubies like that aren’t worth much. They’re just a piece of stone at the end of the day. It’s a gimmick to call it a jewel, just like those emerald pieces. They’re just items that have been slapped with the label 'precious,'” Enola advised Chase to prevent him from being scammed.“It’s fine. I’m just having some fun,” Chase replied casually.“I can’t believe someone is willing to pay 200,000 for a stone.”“Th

    It was clear that Enzo was treating Chase as someone who had bad intentions toward Enola.“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m just a bodyguard your sister hired!” Chase was not bothered to explain much and left after saying that.Chase headed straight toward Chitara’s stone gambling street.There were not many people on the street when he arrived. Only a few stalls were open. It was thanks to the internet era that stone gambling was no longer an activity that was as easy to scam people as before. Most people were now aware of the tricks they played, which was why fewer people visited this street.An old man with a stall by the street saw Chase standing in a daze. “How about trying out one of these stones?”The old man’s eyes lit up when he saw Chase. He swung the stone in his hand for a bit. He wanted badly to force Chase into buying it.However, enforcement had been strict in recent years. He could not physically force someone to make a purchase. He could only rely on his words.

    The old man grumbled silently. Young people nowadays were difficult to handle. He continued, “Just continue walking ahead until you cross two streets. You’ll find a shop called Emerald Studio. All you need to do is enter. You’ll find the real stone gambling street there.”He did not forget to give Chase a reminder.“There’s something else, young man. If you really want to visit that street, you’ll need to pay a fee at Emerald Studio. If there’s something you need, there’s no difference in buying it on this street. No one would be able to tell the difference if that person isn’t an expert…“Hey, where are you going?”Chase rubbed his nose. He was right. There was something up with this place.However, he did not expect this place to be divided into two streets.This street only sold fake stones.The real stone gambling street was in another place.It made sense. The stones on this street could only be used to con people.The real stone gambling street would have no lack of cust

    All Chase had to do was wait for the last person to get his hands on that stone. He would convince that person to sell the stone back to him. If that person refused, Chase would just snatch the stone if he had to.Everyone present felt nervous as they stared at the owner cutting the stone. They watched it without blinking. Their eyes were glued to the stone as they held their breaths. The machine quietly slid down to cut the stone.The anxious look in everyone’s eyes turned to disappointment as the sound of the stone being halved rang in the air.That slice cut the stone in half, and the smooth cut surface looked dull. There was no sign that this stone contained anything precious. Most of the spectators were disappointed, but they insisted on continue watching it.Dominic was especially focused on this. He had a group of men behind him, and when he saw that the stone yielded nothing, he cursed out loud in anger. He had both hands behind his back and held back his anger as he did no

    It was just a useless piece of crap. It did not matter how much Dominic asked for it, it could not be worth as much as before.Chase did not name a price. He wanted Dominic to be the one to suggest a price.“I spent 50 grand on this stone. All my cigar money has been thrown in. I won’t sell anything to you if you don’t give me at least ten or 20 grand.”He spoke like a true head honcho. Everyone could see that all that was left of the stone were broken-up pieces.What else was there to be cut open? There was nothing left inside! How could he ask for ten or 20 grand for the crumbled pieces?!He had to be dreaming!“Don’t be stupid.”The man Chase spoke to was worried that Chase would actually take up the offer. He pulled Chase back to stop Chase from saying anything further.Everyone began discussing this.There was not much left of the stone, and it was quite an anxious situation to be in.“Nothing much is left. You can’t bully someone out of town like this, Dominic!” A col

    There was no point doing something like that when he could cut a new stone for ten thousand.Chase was not affected by what the crowd was discussing. He took the remaining stones from the stall owner happily. He removed a piece of stone, which was the stone that contained the spiritual crystal.“Do you plan to cut your stone here, sir?” The stall owner asked Chase when he handed the cut-up stones over to him.Chase did not want the stones cut in public. Otherwise, Dominic might create trouble for him. Chase did not mind facing Dominic, but there was no need to give himself so much trouble.The crowd was still hanging around. Chase put away the stones and turned to leave. That was when he saw Enola and Enzo standing at the side.“Hey, Enola, isn’t that man your bodyguard? He’s such a joke. I wondered who that stupid guy was and it turned out to be him.”Enzo and Enola had been there for quite a while, but they could not squeeze through the crowd due to too many people standing aro

    "What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the

    Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen

    "History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t

    Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
