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
In the secret basement of Quaid Villa, Quinn slowly regained consciousness.After realizing that both her hands and feet were bound, she subconsciously wanted to scream. However, there was tape over her mouth, so she could not make any noises.‘I've been kidnapped!’ This thought flashed across Quinn’s head.The Quaids must have kidnapped her.Not only that, it was highly probable that they were the ones who arranged for the car crash. What did they want?She felt apprehensive and started struggling, but it was in vain.As she was about to fall into despair, she heard sounds behind her.Turning her head, she saw a woman with messy hair and a dirty face. She was wearing a hospital gown as she held a dirty doll. She was murmuring to herself in a corner. At the same time, she would drool from the corner of her mouth.“Hehe, Rocky, you have to be good. Miss Julia will take you to the doctor. We’re not afraid of getting shots, right?“Rocky, are you hungry? I’ll give you a piece o
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
