Chapter 85

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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

    Edward adjusted his tie and knocked on the office door.Evelyn was dealing with some work. When she heard the knock on the door, she said softly, “Come in.”When Edward entered the room, Evelyn looked up to glance at him and asked in slight surprise, “You are…?”“How do you do, Ms. Benson? I’m Edward Wright, the sales manager of La Fleur Cosmetics. I’m representing my company today to sign the contract with you,” Edward said politely.“I see.”Evelyn realized what he was here for, and her attitude got much friendlier. “Have a seat, Mr. Wright.”She got up and made a cup of expensive red tea for Edward.Edward took a sip. The tea left a fragrance in his mouth, and he became even more arrogant.Chase, oh, Chase. Edward had to thank him for this.If it were not for Chase, Edward would never have gotten to taste such good tea or get the opportunity to see Evelyn Benson—one of South River City’s most beautiful women—up close.Hahaha!Evelyn soon brought out the contract she had p

    Just like that, Edward came out of Benson Group while in a daze.Riley, who was waiting at the door, ran over to him. “Edward, how was it? Did you sign the contract?”“Of course, he did! There’s nothing Edward can’t do!” Raymond and Anna began to fawn over him.An unpleasant expression appeared on Edward’s face as he said, “Um, I didn’t…”Huh?They were immediately stunned, and they felt as though someone had poured a bucket of cold water over them.Riley’s expression changed as she asked, “What happened?”“The CEO of Benson Group said she'll only sign with Chase. If it's not him, she won’t cooperate with us,” Edward said, too heartbroken for tears.“What?”The others gasped.Benson Group only wanted Chase?How was that possible?Raymond stammered, “E-Edward, w-what should we do? You’ve already fired Chase…”“We’ll talk about this later,” Edward said with a sigh. When he recalled that he would have to face Owen and the others soon, he felt his scalp tingling.Inside the o

    Edward did not know where to vent his anger, so he slapped Anna across the face.“Fuck! Didn’t you hear what Mr. Hudson said? We have to get Chase back or we’re all doomed!”When he thought of how arrogant he was when he fired Chase and how he had to humbly get him back, he felt utterly horrible.Huffing, he said, “Riley, you’re the only one with Chase’s number. Call him and ask him to come back now.”“Yeah, Riley. He likes you, right? As long as you ask him, he'll definitely come crawling back,” Raymond chimed in.Even though Riley was unwilling, she had no choice but to call Chase.“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is turned off…” When Riley heard the automated voice message, her expression changed. “He turned off his phone.”“Let me try.” Edward asked for Chase’s number and called him.The call went through this time.Immediately, Edward put a smile on his face and said, “Hello, Chase. This is Edward…”Before he could finish, the person on the other end hung up.“That bast

    Everyone in the villa fell silent after hearing that voice.Did they hear him correctly?Did someone say he wanted to give Arthur an urn and funeral flowers on his birthday?Also, did that person tell Arthur to go to hell?Everyone, including Arthur and his family, turned around to look out of the villa with disbelief written across their faces.Then, they saw a man with a bronze mask swaggering into the villa.That man was Chase.In his hands were a black urn and a bouquet of lilies.Even though he was wearing a mask, the baleful look in his eyes was enough to make everyone in the room shudder.At that moment, Arthur narrowed his eyes, and his face displayed an intense murderous intent.It was that man from Green Hills Orphanage!He was finally here!Soon enough, the guests snapped back to reality and yelled at Chase, “Who are you? Get out!”Chase did not say anything. Instead, he walked slowly toward Arthur.“Stop right there! Or else, we'll kill you!” The Quaid seniors

    The pieces did not fall but floated in the air.No one expected this.This included the officer who was guarding the corpse. His eyes widened at this incredible sight.Chase could sense spiritual energy gathering at the corpse."Could it come back to life?"He guessed what would happen.The giant's imagery suddenly opened his eyes as if answering Chase's question and got up.That was when the floating crystal pieces fell to the ground. They glittered like fragments of diamonds.The giant stood up, looking like a colossal spirit.Fortunately, the round hall, which had a radius of about 165 feet and was about a hundred feet high, was just enough to fit him."You… are… dead."The giant spoke one word at a time very slowly, but everyone heard him.It was a relief to the officer to see the giant pointing his fingers at Chase. The giant belonged to the Worthingtons and recognized who was the enemy.Chase and the others were surprised too. The only thing real on this giant was it

    "A god's corpse?"Chase did not think this was possible. After all, this world's limit was a martial monarch. A god?Even though Chase would become a martial god again after leaving this world, his abilities were still far from a real god. There had to be something unique about that corpse for others to think that it was a god.This was Chase's initial thought.Walter and Willow did not believe it either."Could it be the corpse of an ancient giant beast?" Walter guessed.As a Two-Headed Giant Python, many ignorant humans he met mistook him for a Snake God or even a dragon. Weaker humans who met cultivators would also mistake them for gods."Talking about this doesn't help. Why not just lead us there?" Chase said to Cyril."Alright."Cyril led the group into the ancestral home. The place was surrounded by guards who looked like they were in a daze. All of them were equipped with sophisticated tools. Most of them had guns and grenades on them.A portion of these men possessed

    That was too bad!Chase sighed when he saw what had happened.Greedy Wolf's blade intent was newly formed and not perfect enough. It could only suppress the minds and souls of ordinary people. Anyone with slight cultivation could fight against it.However, Chase had at least achieved a small part of his plan. This time, he channeled his vital energy and swung down his blade. A giant image of Greedy Wolf roared behind him.An image of a colossal wolf walking in the snow under the moonlight appeared in everyone's consciousness. It lunged at the defensive formation shielding the Worthingtons' ancestral home. The officer and everyone else inside the ancestral home heard a loud crack. It was shrill to their ears.That was impossible!The officer could no longer hear anything from the outside world. There was only fear and anger in his eyes.How did Chase break the defensive formation when its energy source had not been exhausted?He could only roar about this silently. There was n

    The swing of his blade created a ripple in the air, and everyone watching was astonished.The officer realized that there was no vital energy used in that swing after sensing it via the formation. That was pure physical strength. However, the defense formation was sustained using stored vital energy.Below the base of the ancestral home was a giant space storing Dark and Light Emeralds and spiritual stones. They were mainly used to replenish the formation.According to reports from below, they had exhausted a hundredth of the reserves just to defend against one swing of the blade.That would mean Chase could exhaust the first level of the defense formation's reserve energy if he swung his blade at the formation a hundred times.The office was shocked at the data. However, upon further thought, he figured Chase would not last if he were to attempt swinging his blade down a hundred times. After all, he had clearly put in full energy for that one swing of the blade. There was nothing

    What was the point of having such a strong defensive formation? They were like ragdolls to someone as powerful as Chase.Willow was proud of this. She was now a resident fan and Chase's groupie. She had started making plans to turn Chase into her slave and bodyguard.The others moved quickly to get inside during the short moment when the defensive formation was broken. Bright lights suddenly burst out from inside the Worthingtons' ancestral home.They watched as flashes of brilliant lights displayed formations in the air like electric currents. After the lights connected, the defensive formation was strengthened once more. The cracks on its formation lines were repaired, and the shield became thicker than before.Chase attacked with a rain of swords. The usual clanging from the attack turned into muffled sounds.It looked like the Worthingtons had placed a lot of effort into their defense. Their defense formation was unexpectedly strong.Chase saw how the rain of sword attacks di

    When Willow and Cyril saw Walter attack, they both thought he had acted too recklessly. As expected, alarms blared throughout the Worthingtons' ancestral home.Warning lights flashed wildly as the guards swarmed out of the compound like ants from a nest.Chase stared in disbelief.In the programming world, there was a popular principle known as the Duck Test. If it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, looked like a duck, and pecked like a duck, then it was probably a duck.This so-called ancestral home, aside from its exterior resembling a military base, had military-grade alert systems and personnel. By the duck principle, without a doubt, this was a military base."Is this ancestral house hiding some kind of secret? Why is the defense so tight?" Chase asked Cyril.Cyril was equally stunned by the scene. "My mentors just told me the Worthingtons' ancestral home is very important. I don't actually know what's inside… But now, it seems I underestimated how much it means to the

    In Walter's understanding, even among ape-type beasts, it was nearly impossible to move so effortlessly between high-rise buildings using only physical strength—let alone doing so with such speed, like Chase just did.Willow, being a practitioner focused on soul-based and spiritual techniques, had also trained her body somewhat recently. However, she was nowhere near Walter's level and definitely far below Chase's.When she sensed that Chase had surpassed her even while she was fully employing both her movement techniques and vital energy without using any vital energy at all, she went numb inside."Chase is just a genius. I can't compare…" she said to comfort herself.In the end, even with her top-tier body movement techniques, she arrived at Cyril's location more than ten minutes later than Chase. Seeing everyone already waiting on her, she felt slightly embarrassed."Sorry, I was too slow.""It's fine. We were just taking a break anyway. What's ten minutes?" Chase waved it off

    Chase and his group arrived at the rooftop of a tall building next to the Worthingtons' headquarters."That whole building over there belongs to the Worthingtons," Cyril said, pointing to the rooftop across from them where the giant words for 'Worthington Group' were displayed.For Willow and Walter, this was their first time seeing the high-rise buildings of modern society. Everything felt fresh and fascinating. They were curiously scanning the surroundings.Chase glanced at the crowds below and frowned. "This isn't a good place to fight them. There are too many civilians around. One misstep and it'll be a disaster.""Is that a problem?" asked Walter, the Water and Fire Two-Headed Giant Python. Although currently in human form, he still carried a beast's mindset and did not see anything wrong with the idea.Cyril, hearing Chase's concern, immediately understood he did not want to harm innocents. However, Walter, as Chase's contract beast, seemed surprisingly indifferent to human

    In the Worthingtons' headquarters, Ricky looked at Dominic, who was still stunned from the earlier battle, and shook his head.Dominic clutched his throbbing head and asked, "Is there really no way to get all this weird junk out of my mind?""To clear it out, I'd have to work with Carla and treat you for nearly a full year. And that's only if we return to the nether realm. Here? It's practically impossible," Ricky snorted."You're a peak martial nirvana cultivator, and you've already mastered the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist, a top-tier yellow-ranked technique. You even have the Two Evils of Hell by your side, so why did you insist on fighting that kid one-on-one? Wasn't his destiny aura bright enough for you to realize who you were dealing with?"After explaining the difficulty of healing him, Ricky could not help but scold Dominic in a tone full of frustration. From his perspective, their side had been at a disadvantage ever since entering this so-called Dark and Light Mineral Ore.
