Chapter 81

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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

    His question stumped everyone in the sales department.Anna looked at the higher management staff whose eyes were shining brightly, and she suddenly said, “Mr. Crane, Mr. Wright was the one who got the order from Benson Group.”She said this out loud.Everyone was stunned.Chase was the one who got the order.However, they quickly reacted and nodded vigorously. “That’s right. Mr. Wright was the one who got the order.”“Just as I expected.”Owen patted Edward’s shoulder enthusiastically. “Good job, Edward. You managed to get a huge order for the company.”“With capabilities like yours, it’s a pity for you to be a manager in the sales department. I’ll talk to Miss Lawson about promoting you to assistant general manager.”Everyone turned to look at Edward with envy when they heard this.From sales manager to assistant general manager! That was a fast climb up the corporate ladder!He nodded quickly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Hudson. I’ll make sure to give everything I have to th

    Marvin hesitated for a moment before responding somewhat awkwardly, "It seems this estate was already plundered before we arrived. We found nothing."A hidden estate had appeared yet yielded no treasures, which was indeed an unusual occurrence. He was worried that Chase might use this as an excuse to make things difficult for them.Though their group of six might have a chance if they used every trick they had, the sheer destruction in the valley and the ground having been polished smooth like the bottom of a bowl left them uneasy. If a fight broke out, they would likely suffer heavy casualties.Marvin gritted his teeth, then retrieved a silk scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Chase. "However, Mr. Collins, you saved several of our young members. As a token of gratitude, we would like to offer you a gift—the Passive Monastery's 'Tranquil Mind Technique.' This mental cultivation method strengthens the soul and can be trained up to the peak of the martial god realm."Chas

    Several figures flew over. When they saw the smooth, bowl-like surface of the valley, they could not hide their shock. What kind of person would have this level of power? To reshape the entire valley like this…Among them, the purple-clad young woman, Ivana, immediately recognized Chase from their previous encounter."Sir!" She swiftly flew forward and greeted him with a respectful bow.Beside her, an elder in a black robe with a long beard—clearly her superior—was taken aback.Seeing Ivana rushing toward an unknown figure, whose aura was overwhelming and possibly hostile, he felt a surge of unease and quickly followed after her."Ivana, don't be reckless!" His tone carried a hint of reproach as he shot her a warning glance.Ivana pouted in frustration but obediently stepped back behind him, though she still could not resist making a playful face.Chase found her antics amusing and asked casually, "Who are you people? What do you want?"The long-bearded man cupped his fists a

    The man with small eyes observed Chase's stance. He did not seem to be gathering any elemental energy, which made the man suspicious.A martial artist at the martial nirvana stage, with only a stage six martial god cultivation, was trying to block the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers' combined attack using just his body?Even Knox Nefary, the strongest physical cultivator of the Nefarious Deity Sect, could not do that.This brat was too arrogant!The other two had the same thought as they smirked in disdain.By now, the water-fire-poison dragon drill had reached Chase, carrying the power of heaven and earth. The impact rippled outward like waves, turning everything in its path—trees, boulders—into dust. Any wild beasts that had not escaped in time were instantly reduced to a bloody mist.Even the Nefarious Deity's Three Slaughterers, still seated in mid-air, felt the shockwave. They hurriedly channeled their energy to block it.The man with small eyes frowned inside his prot

    At that moment, the sky darkened, storm clouds gathered, and lightning crackled through the air. It seemed as if a torrential downpour could begin at any second.If someone were standing on the battlefield, they would have experienced a constant shift in temperature—one moment freezing cold, the next blazing hot, then pierced by eerie, bone-chilling winds, only to suddenly feel numb from electric shocks.The four warriors, each wielding a different elemental force, had created a chaotic clash of energies. Their power leaked into the surroundings, sending wild beasts and demonic creatures fleeing in terror.Chase's long hair, which had grown out over the past few months, fluttered wildly in the wind. His sharp gaze hardened. He could not allow the three of them to continue amassing power.He silently chanted an incantation. Three clones materialized behind him.The four versions of Chase exchanged a glance. Then, the three clones dashed forward, each targeting one of the Nefarious

    By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious

    The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t

    Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "

    A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.

    "Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
