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

    Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?"

    "Such immense power!"Chase was shocked.The icy force radiating from the lady was far stronger than anything an ordinary martial god-level expert could unleash. It was so overwhelming that his body could barely withstand it.Yet he refused to retreat.He sensed that this cold energy was tempering his body, strengthening him in ways he had not anticipated. Most importantly, it provided a perfect contrast—he needed an abundance of light energy to harden his essence and refine his martial spirit."Break!"With a furious roar, Chase ignited his true energy, sending it surging through his veins and meridians.A wave of scorching power erupted from within, forcefully expelling the icy force from his body. A thin layer of frost coated his skin but melted away in an instant."As expected of a martial nirvana-level martial technique… It's incredibly powerful!"Chase was thrilled.This secret art was astonishingly effective. If he trained with it consistently, his body would transform

    The moment Chase swallowed the spiritual fruit, it should have been absorbed and neutralized by his body's energy. Yet the instant it entered his stomach, an unbearable wave of heat surged through him.His blood boiled, and his entire body felt as if it were roasting inside a furnace. He was in such excruciating pain that he could not even call for help.Had his constitution not been extraordinary, the sheer explosive force of this single fruit would have been enough to kill him dozens of times over."That was too close!" Chase let out a sigh of relief.This spiritual fruit contained a potent toxin—he had nearly died just now.It was called the Crimson Gold Poison Fruit, and once ingested, not even a martial god could survive."Well, at least this saved me some trouble. Who knows what other monsters might be lurking beneath these waters?"He stood up and circulated his true energy, using it to dry his soaked clothes.As his legs remained submerged in the lake, a bronze-colored

    At that moment, a golden glow flickered within Chase's storage ring.A small, round pearl, no larger than a thumb, emerged and floated into his palm."A Dragon Pearl?"Chase frowned. The Dragon Pearl was entirely golden as if forged from pure gold. Inside, a miniature flood dragon's silhouette seemed to coil and shift."How did this Dragon Pearl end up in my storage ring?"He hesitated for a moment before realization struck."It must have been absorbed when I killed that flood python. The energy wave must have drawn out the essence of its body, making this pearl emerge on its own."Since the Dragon Pearl had already appeared, it meant the flood python's flesh and blood essence had been completely exhausted, leaving no more hidden treasures to extract.Even so, Chase did not leave immediately. He cautiously scanned the area, ensuring there were no lurking dangers. Only after confirming his safety did he dive into the dark waters below.Beneath the surface, a school of fish sens

    Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t

    Chase frowned, looking cautious.From his understanding of monsters, only a monster with golden fur, a giant, muscular body with great strength, and could spit flames would be at this level."Could this monster be another form of a powerhouse?"Chase quietly called himself stupid at this point. If it was really a powerhouse, there would be no ferocious beast here.This particular creature must have entered the land by accident and bumped into Chase coincidentally."But this monster is too powerful. I won't be able to take it down by myself."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.If his guess was correct, there had to be other powerful beings in the forest besides this ferocious beast. Otherwise, this beast would not be prowling around this area."I'll fight it out!"Chase made the decision after some thought.Chase stepped hard on the ground and leaped into the center of the valley.Another angry roar was heard from the other side. It was a black bear that was about seven

    A brilliant sword flash glowed, and Chase instantly retreated with a burst to put some distance between them.A muscular man in darkness surrounding him stood there with a blade. He was staring sinisterly at Chase. The robe covered the man completely, hiding his face. Chase could sense immense pressure from the man."A stage-four martial god!" Chase narrowed his eyes as he observed the man.From the aura emanating from his man, Chase determined him to be a stage-four martial god with a powerful physique and spirit. His physique was extremely strong."You became a stage-four martial god at such a young age. Not bad! Too bad you happened to bump into me!"The black-robed man sneered. His right hand, which was yielding his blade, was sliced. Blood gushed out from it, drenching the black iron blade.There was caution and grimness in his eyes. He did not expect a young stage-three martial god to be slightly more powerful than he was.Strong wind began to gale, and Chase's clothes b

    Chase could not help gulping at this thought as his heart beat wildly. "I'll go for it!"He clenched his teeth as he made the decision and headed toward the Flood Dragon.It was nighttime, and he was in front of a quiet cave. He stood out front with a grim look. Chase observed the place for a long time. After confirming there was no danger, he entered the cave.A giant corpse was lying right in front of him—the Flood Dragon.Its body was cold and missing some scales. It was covered with blood stains, looking like it had died a horrible death.The Flood Dragon's body was cut up badly. Only its abdomen was in perfect shape. The Flood Dragon must have protected it before dying.Chase crouched in front of the dragon. He reached out to look through its skin, and a translucent green crystal appeared in front of him."This must be the Flood Dragon's emerald bone. The quality is incredible…"Chase inspected it carefully. This piece of Flood Dragon emerald bone must be its Life Treasure

    "I'll continue slaughtering!" Chase stood up once more.Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had recovered. It roared and lunged toward Chase with terrifying power.This time, Chase's body quivered slightly, but he still managed to block the dragon's attack."Not bad. There's thick dragon energy in this Flood Dragon's flesh and blood. If I use it to refine pills, the effects would be incredible!"Chase was excited about this. It was the same delight he felt when discovering a spiritual herb. It was due to hunting a dragon and obtaining its energy.There was a deafening explosion.Chase rode on the dragon's neck while inside the valley. He had a sword in his left hand while his right hand was clenched into a fist. He was using all of the skills and techniques he had learned.Chase punched the dragon right in its eyes.The dragon was filled with pain as it threw its head in the air and howled in misery. Meanwhile, Chase swung a punch with his other hand and struck the dragon right in the
