Chapter 86

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
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

    Mandy looked curiously at the mask on Chase’s face. Then, acting as though she had been given an adrenaline shot, she started murmuring, “Masked man, you're making me want to arrest you more and more.“Then, I want to remove your mask and see what you look like!”When the man next to her heard this, his face twitched.Arrest him?How? With her beautiful long legs?An urgent yet powerful applause broke the silence. “Good. Very good!”Arthur stood up.As he clapped, he said, “You’re indeed the person we’ve spent the last 12 years looking for.“We've spent so much money to train these bodyguards in secret, and each of them can fight ten people by themselves with no problem. Yet, they’re nothing before you.“I have to admit that you’ve surprised me, you fugitive.”As Arthur spoke, he smiled at Chase as if nothing was wrong with the situation.Chase smirked, baring his teeth at Arthur. “Old Dog Arthur, they say that the good die young while the bad live long to bring trouble to e

    After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th

    "An old acquaintance?" There was murder in Carla's eyes."It's someone from long ago. I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive, or rather, this could be her descendant." Fallon's mind moved quickly as he tried to squeeze any excuse he could from his mind."Why haven't I heard you talk about this old acquaintance before?" Carla was suspicious. However, Fallon had never lied to her before. At least, she had never caught him lying before. She was not entirely sure if he was telling lies right now."You know how the Nefarious Deity Sect would sometimes discover unique and powerful monsters whenever we visualize Nefarious Spirits or tame dark beasts. Yara Fries looks very much like a human-form monster I discovered with phoenix bloodline."She refused to bow down to me. Since I could not have her, I killed her. I was not as powerful then, and I had a hard time trying to kill her. I was relegated to using despicable methods in the fight. That's why I… lost my calm whe

    However, the rules did not state that fighters were not allowed to admit defeat, which was why the referee ruled that Chase had won.Most elites in the spectators did not know the Fries family well, but they still came forward to ask about the fight. Some of them went off to watch other fights with a sorry look or a look of disdain on their face.Carla, who was seated at the very top, said, "Interesting.""Why would you say that?"Fallon, who had been looking forward to watching a descendant of the Phoenix Deity in action, was feeling upset about the outcome. He asked the question when he heard Carla's comment."They were putting up an act," Carla said with a smile."Huh? Wouldn't that be rigging a fight? What are you smiling about?" Fallon felt angrier after hearing her explanation. He was the one in charge of the tournament, and they were rigging a fight right under his nose. That was disrespectful to the city lord."Didn't he organize this tournament to find out more about thi

    "Huh. I didn't expect you to know so much." Yara was surprised."Of course, I know stuff." Chase felt a little proud about it but quickly said, "You should hurry up. There are a lot of people waiting out there.""Alright. I'll make it quick."The Holy Path is a relic of the calamity years ago. As for the ninth level, it was created by the Light Divine Pearl to protect himself by fusing pieces of the world collected from every corner of the universe."Currently, the Holy Path on the sixth level leads directly to the sealed location where the Light Divine Pearl's true form is. The Light Divine Pearl's image projection on the ninth level is where he is able to use most of his powers."Something happened while he was fusing the ninth level. The maximum cultivations on each level are different, and the Light Divine Pearl's image projection is unable to merge with his true form."That's why he used the body refinement of the Divine Order's Flame to leave a mark on you to help you pass t

    "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
