Chapter 80

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Before anyone let their imaginations run wild, the Quaids immediately released a statement claiming that they had nothing to do with both accidents. They also mentioned that Ferb Quaid had his limbs broken by a thug.

After releasing the statement, the Quaids took the opportunity of having all that attention to announce Arthur’s 70th birthday celebration.

It was nighttime at the Quaids' residence.

Arthur was looking darkly at Dean. “Useless bastard! You’re all useless! You can’t even take care of a girl and a good-for-nothing rascal!”

“Please don’t be mad, Mr. Arthur!”

Dean fell kneeling to the ground. He trembled while he said, “We utilized five men and two cars, but we didn’t expect all five of them to fail at their jobs.

“Fortunately, three of them fell off the cliff and died while another two were run over by a car. The Coopers and the Norrises have no evidence against us even if they suspect us…”

“Dad, I want to use the shadow guards against that Collins boy. He broke al

    Sam knelt heavily on the ground. “I deserve to be punished, sir. There seems to be some mistake with the information I received. I only found out today that besides the seven girls, there was another woman who survived the fire as well.“It seems like she had worked as a caretaker for Green Hills Orphanage back then and was in charge of the washing, cooking, and cleaning.”Chase felt hope in his heart. He quickly asked, “Is her name Julia? Julia Radley?”“Yes. That’s her name, Julia Radley.”Sam immediately nodded and said, “She survived the fire at the orphanage, but her face was burned. And it seems that she went crazy after that. She has been hidden away by the Quaids all these years at Oswald Sanatorium.”Chase was agitated upon learning the news.It was Julia Radley!He could never forget how Julia had treated the children like her own back when he was still at Green Hills Orphanage. She washed and cleaned for them for free and would even spend money to buy delicious snacks

    She spoke while knocking her head onto the ground. Her forehead started bleeding profusely.Chase raised an eyebrow. His tone became softer. “That’s enough. Get up. I promise to treat your father, but I need to get to work right now. Anything else will have to wait until I’m done with work.”“That sounds good.”Evelyn cried with joy as she stood up. “Thank you, Dr. Collins.”“This is my contact number. Please call me once you’re free. I’ll come to pick you up.”She gave him a name card respectfully before driving off.Chase soon arrived at La Fleur.The security guards informed Edward of his arrival the moment Chase stepped into the company.Edward hung up the call in his office, and a cold smile appeared on his face.From the moment Chase and Riley broke off their engagement, he had been itching to kick Chase out of the company.From his point of view, it was easy for a sales manager to handle a country bumpkin.Raymond, Anna, and the others looked forward to what was about

    Edward thought Chase had gotten scared when he saw him staying silently, and it only made Edward feel gleeful about it.“Everyone knows that Benson Group is the leading company when it comes to South River City’s luxury items. They have a strong influence in the market and own numerous physical stores.“The new cosmetics our company has just pushed out are not well received in the market, which is why we still have 500,000 sets left unsold in our inventory.”At this point, he sneered at Chase and said, “Your job is to get Benson Group to sell at least 50,000 sets of our new product.“I’m giving you three days, and if you don’t manage to sell 50,000 sets in three days, pack up and leave!”When Edward announced this, everyone looked at Chase either gleefully or sympathetically.This job was too difficult to accomplish, and it was almost impossible to get it done.They had tried to reach out to Benson Group before to promote the new cosmetics, but they ended up getting thrown out.

    “We’re having the treatment here?” Sherman was taken aback. He asked, “Dr. Collins, don’t you need a quiet space to prevent others from interrupting you?”“That’s not necessary.” Chase shook his head.“Do you need me to lie down?” Sherman asked again.“That’s not necessary either.”“Well… what do you need me to do?” Sherman was bewildered.“You just need to open your mouth.”Sherman got even more puzzled, but he opened his mouth as instructed.Chase took out a plastic bottle and shook out a dark, black pill from it.“Eat this and your congenital heart failure will be healed.”Sherman and Evelyn looked doubtful when they heard this.It was because they saw the bottle Chase was using to keep the pills. It had the words ‘Insecticide’ written on it.He was using a bottle that was used for insecticide to keep his pills? Was he not afraid of accidentally poisoning someone?Also, what was the thing he had taken out from it? It was so black, and it looked like someone might die fro

    Chase was not bothered to talk to him. He hung up and went straight to the office.Edward had arrived early at the office.He smiled widely after hanging up and immediately said to everyone, “Stop your work, everyone. We’ll be having a good show later.”“Is Chase here at the office, Edward?” Raymond immediately sniggered.“That’s right. He’s on his way here. I believe he'll be arriving soon,” Edward sneered. He could not wait as he said, “Remember to keep your eyes wide open. I’ll make sure to kick him out of the company in disgrace.”Raymond smiled while rubbing his hands. This made everyone laugh even louder.Edward instructed, “Anna, throw out all his things from his table.”Anna immediately went to Chase’s table and threw all of his belongings into a trash can.When Chase stepped into the office, he saw the trash can filled up with his things.His face fell, and he looked sharply at everyone. “Who did this?”Anna’s expression changed when he looked at her. She immediately

    Chase gave a taunting glance at Edward before taking out a document from his bag. He slammed it on the table.“That’s smart of you. You’ve already written your resignation letter.”Edward glanced at the document half-heartedly and smiled in disdain as he said, “I’m not accepting your resignation, though. You can’t resign. You have to be fired.”A cold smile appeared on Chase’s face. “I’m afraid you’re about to be disappointed. This isn’t my resignation. It’s the order form from Benson Group.”He paused before adding, “Benson Group wants to order all 500,000 sets of our cosmetics in one shot.”“What? Benson Group’s order form?”“500,000 sets?”The entire office turned silent instantly. Everyone was shocked, and they thought they had heard wrong.Even Edward was shocked.Someone suddenly burst out laughing. “500,000 sets? You really do know how to exaggerate, Chase Collins.”Riley stood up to look at Chase coldly. “When will you stop with your little tricks? We’re tired of li

    “How can a dirt-poor country bumpkin like you who has no capabilities or connections be able to get an order of 500,000 sets from Benson Group?”Riley sounded convincing and looked full of herself.Her words were like a reminder to Edward.She was right!Chase was just a country bumpkin. He would not have been able to get such a huge order.It made sense!He had faked the order form.Edward immediately looked at Chase with disdain and said, “You’re pretty brazen, aren’t you, Collins? You’ve even gone to the extent of faking an order form from Benson Group.”“Are you trying to worm your way out of the bet?” Chase narrowed his eyes at Edward.“What do you mean by that?”Edward was taken aback.“You said it yourself that you would kneel, knock your head on the ground, and call me ‘Granddaddy’ three times. I didn’t force you to make that bet.”Edward was furious when he heard that. “You want me to kneel to you? Who do you think you are, Collins?“Your order form is fake, and e

    After he left, Riley said, “Edward, call your uncle right now and tell him to fire Chase Collins.”She was filled with anger right now.Chase must have been jealous that she was with Edward, which was why he took revenge on him.“Alright, I’ll make the call right now.”Edward nodded and was about to call Harrison, the HR manager.That was when a plump middle-aged man in a suit came rushing in excitedly.“Mr. Crane!”Everyone was surprised to see him. They greeted him with the utmost respect.This man was the top brass of the sales department. He was the sales director, Gerald Crane.His nickname was Gerald the Brute, and he was known to be harsh and unsympathetic. Every employee in the sales department had been yelled at by him at least once. They were scared of him and did not like him.However, Gerald was acting differently than usual as he kept smiling. “Don’t be so formal with me. You’re all my favorite people right now.”Huh?Everyone was taken aback.What was happeni

    The female Poison Dragon stood on the main viewing platform, utterly stunned.Although she had already felt a bad premonition the moment Chase seized the momentum from the Lightning Dragon King, she still could not accept it when that premonition became reality.The Lightning Dragon King—once the embodiment of invincibility in her mind—could not even land a single hit on this unknown human. It shattered everything she thought she knew about the strongest combatants.Could this nobody actually be a visitor from the upper realm? However, did they not say he was from Earth, a place completely barren of spiritual energy?Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. What if this guy actually ended up taking the world master's title?If that happened, it would be a catastrophe for the dragons.She knew, deep down, just how much wrong they had done over the years. Calling it 'corruption' and 'tyranny' would have been putting it mildly.If a reckoning truly came, most of them would not b

    As for the last Water Dragon, Lisa, she was completely overshadowed. No one even spared her a glance.Lisa herself had no time to care about how others viewed her. She knew her own strength—or lack thereof. As a small fry, she clearly understood her limits.She absolutely could not defend herself when facing the Lightning Dragon King's strongest attacks. She had to rely on Chase and the others.Hence, she merely revealed her true form, then deployed her vital energy shield and defensive treasures. After that, she huddled behind the others, trembling with fear.After a long charge-up, the Lightning Dragon King launched his attack. Electricity sparked in his eyes, and divine thunder rumbled in his mouth."Die!" he bellowed.With that thunderous roar echoing through the sky, countless thunder balls rained down like hail toward Chase and the others. Electric light flashed, and thunder boomed across the arena. Most spectators could no longer see or hear clearly.The scene was so inte

    The Lightning Dragon King knew he could not let Chase go on like this. He immediately activated Electric Eyes.Spheres of lightning circled around him, and bolts of electricity flickered fiercely. The thunder, which had previously faded, now roared once again throughout the arena.This time, the lightning was no longer in the sky; it surged entirely around the Lightning Dragon King himself. His momentum returned in an instant."Well done, Lightning Dragon King!""He's truly worthy of being the pride of our clan!""He's the glory of the Lightning Dragon bloodline! The other branches should stop trying to take credit. The Water, Fire, and Poison martyr spirits were all beaten like dogs earlier. It's now up to our Lightning Dragon King to reclaim our dignity!""Oh please, didn't the Lightning Dragon martyr spirits also get defeated by this guy? The Lightning Dragon King is strong because he's strong, not because of you nobodies in the Lightning Dragon line.""Exactly! When we lose,

    Although Lisa was a dragon herself, she had long suffered under the oppression of the Poison Dragon branch. The Lightning Dragon King had never made any effort to investigate or deliver justice.She had come to see the true nature of the dragons for what it was because of this. They were just a bunch of selfish tyrants carving out their own kingdoms by relying on brute strength. Any illusion of nobility had long since crumbled.After witnessing Chase step up for her, her admiration for humans only deepened. Now, she felt nothing but shame as she listened to the audience spew insults, threats, and jeers at Chase. She was ashamed to be one of them.The Lightning Dragon King watched as the audience reacted to his dramatic entrance. He was reminded of his own noble identity and felt extremely satisfied.If Chase's influence was allowed to grow any further, his chances of retaining his role as the world master would shrink by the day.Now, the tide had halted. He decided to strike whil

    Yet Chase had actually passed four levels in just one day. His strength was so formidable that it almost defied belief."Where is he from? Which sect does he belong to? Why have I never heard of him before?" Carla frowned and asked."He came from Earth. Apparently, he's here to look for his sisters," Sierra replied.Though she was not powerful herself, the Evil Shadow Sect excelled in mind and soul techniques. They were experts when it came to tracking and gathering intelligence. She had managed to dig up quite a bit of information."Earth? That trashy place? Its power level has always lagged behind the nether realm. How could a top-tier cultivator suddenly emerge from there? And what kind of excuse is 'looking for his sisters'? Unless…"Carla suddenly thought of something."Is there something special about his sisters? The only ones who need special women are from the Nefarious Deity Sect. They're good at corpse refinement and often need bodies with rare constitutions. Besides,

    Sierra was grounded and reliable, wholly loyal to Carla. That alone secured her position as Carla's trusted aide.When Carla came to the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, she brought only Sierra along. That was enough to show the extent of her trust."Yes, no one knows when she got involved with him. Master, I've said it before. Willow has never been pure-hearted. And now, this incident clearly shows it was premeditated," Sierra said.She had always known that she was originally the first pick to serve as Carla's double. When Willow took that spot, Sierra developed a strong dislike for her. They often clashed, with neither of them backing down.Willow, however, always seemed to be one step ahead in terms of being cunning. She had built her own circle of loyal followers without Sierra ever noticing.Carla was fully aware that Sierra could not outmatch Willow, but that only proved Sierra was better suited for tasks that required absolute secrecy and without the risk of anything leaking.

    "Yes, Master. That mysterious young man's name is Chase Collins. These are our recordings of him."Clint transmitted all of Chase's information to Fallon.Fallon opened a random recording. The image was of Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar fighting Chase. He did not pay much attention in the beginning. However, Fallon frowned again at the end of the recording."This man is really something."He commented as he watched Mystic Nefarious Priest's avatar escape from defeat."Did you say the women's names were Olivia Green and Hannah Jones? What do they look like?" Fallon remembered why Chase was here and asked the question.Clint immediately showed him their images."They're really beautiful." Fallon's eyes brightened at the sight of adorably pretty Olivia in a clean, white dress and the dashing Hannah. A lustful fire burned inside him."Where are they now?" he quickly asked."The women have been brought to the respective manors of both Supreme Elders." Clint took one look at Fallo

    Fallon and Clara had passed the sixth level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore. They had brought along their trusted subordinates just to get the Dark and Light Emeralds.All they told their subordinates was to defeat the locals and monsters to get good-quality Dark and Light Emeralds, but they kept the truth about the Dark and Light Divine Pearls to themselves. They also kept their relationship a secret.Due to the gap in abilities, their subordinates were stuck with continuing their duties on the sixth level.After returning from the seventh level, they went to their respective bases after getting intimate.Fallon gave a cough to catch the attention of his first disciple, Clint Linman, who was training at the base."Master! Have you found out what happened to the sect?"Clint had been worried after finding out the news of several of their elders' sudden deaths via a messaging talisman. At the same time, he felt happy about it. Their deaths meant vacancies for their positions and

    As Chase had unlimited resources of vital energy, a small injury was nothing to him. He learned many tricks in close combat as the fighting time prolonged.The Lightning Dragon martyr spirits had no intelligence and could only repeat fighting modes and tactics.It was not long before Chase spotted their weakness, and things in the arena took a turn.The elemental dragons were initially on the losing end, but the fight soon came to a draw, and the elemental dragons eventually had the upper hand. Huge damage was caused to the martyr spirits when the poison elemental dragon managed to bite into one of them.The martyr spirits were eventually defeated. In the end, they vanished.Chase stared at the arena in the bright, sunny weather as he floated in mid-air. He stared right at Lightning Dragon, the world master."We won?"Down below, Lisa felt like she was dreaming. She remembered the fights in the Dragon Clan Trial usually lasted several days and nights.
