That man had been telling the truth since the beginning. He really could save her grandfather.Unfortunately, she had treated him as a con man.An employee of the Cooper Corporation took a deep breath and said determinedly, “From now onward, every one of us will search for the whereabouts of this miracle doctor even if we have to overturn the entire South River City. Don’t come back without finding him!”The next morning, Henry called Chase again. “Where are you, Chase? Riley is taking you to her company for an interview. Give me your address and I’ll get her to pick you up.”“Alright, Uncle Henry.” Chase sent him the address for Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No.1.Downstairs at the Turner household, a young woman in a black, professional suit was standing next to a white Benz C260. She looked at the time and said impatiently, “Riley, that country bumpkin fiancé of yours isn’t respecting our time. We’ve been waiting for him for quite a while.”“Stop it, Anna. I’m already feeling frus
Chase shook his head and replied, “I wasn’t the one who bought it.”“Huh?”The two women were surprised to hear that.Anna did not really believe him. “You sure keep a low profile, Mr. Collins.”She suddenly noticed the bag in Chase’s hand, and her eyes brightened. “Do you have cash in there, Mr. Collins? I always hear about how rich people like using cash.”Before Chase could say anything, she had taken a step forward to take the bag from him. She opened it and looked inside.Her face turned green instantly.There was no cash inside. The bag was filled with cans and mineral water bottles. It was dirty and smelled bad.“It's the garbage I just picked up,” Chase explained. He had no idea whether to laugh or cry at this situation.“Garbage you picked up?” Anna’s smile froze on her face.“That’s right.” Chase nodded.Anna’s expression fell immediately. “After all that confusion, you’re just here to pick up garbage?”She wiped her hands furiously with a paper napkin as she spok
“What’s the rush? We’re about to become colleagues soon. It’s better to get to know each other first.”A cold look flashed in Edward’s eyes. He reached his hand out to Chase and bragged, “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Edward Wright, the current manager of the Second Marketing Department. I’m Riley’s colleague and superior.”Chase noticed the malicious smile on Edward’s face and knew what was going on. Chase reached out his hand as well. He said with a stoic expression, “Chase Collins.”Raymond quietly got excited when he saw them shake hands.Edward was known to have an iron grip. Raymond had once shaken hands with Edward, and his fingers almost broke. He was in pain for three whole days, and Edward had gone easy on him.This country bumpkin was about to have a taste of that.When Chase and Edward shook hands, Chase felt a strong grip on his hand.He looked at Edward. There was a taunting and expectant look on Edward’s face.Edward wanted to humiliate Chase in front of Rile
The woman quickly explained, “Mr. Collins, I’m the deputy CEO of La Fleur. My name is Sandy Lawson. You can just call me Sandy.“Our company had a shareholders' meeting yesterday, and Mr. Sam Collins from Emgrand Group announced that he has transferred 75% of the company’s shares to you. That would mean that you’re the biggest shareholder and our company’s CEO as of yesterday.“He has shared your photos and basic information with me and informed me to assist you in any way.”Chase replied, “Understood. I’m in the company right now. I’ll contact you if I need anything.”In the deputy CEO’s office, Sandy immediately called her secretary over after hanging up. She instructed, “The newly appointed CEO, Mr. Collins, has arrived at the company. "He's probably here on an unofficial visit. Inform all department heads immediately to watch their employees and display their best attitudes at work. I’m warning everyone here in advance. If Mr. Collins is unhappy with anyone, prepare to leave
Harrison was enraged. “You’re the homosexual! Your entire family is full of homosexuals! Get out. Get out of this room right now.”Chase asked, “If you’re not a homosexual, why are you hiring based on horoscopes?”“For the sole reason that I’m the HR manager. Everything I say, goes. What can you do about it? Beat me up?” Harrison sneered and said gleefully.He was given a hard slap on the face the moment he said this.Harrison was in shock. He covered his cheek with his hand and looked at Chase in disbelief. “How… How dare you hit me?!”“Would you believe me if I told you that I can hit you and even fire you?” Chase said calmly.Harrison said viciously, “Fire me? You? Do you think you’re our new CEO? You’re finished for hitting me. Just wait!”He took out his phone with another word and made a call. “Carlton, send a few security guards over to my office. Someone is making trouble here.”Five tall, muscular men in uniform rushed into the room not long after.“This is the rascal
“Five minutes and 20 seconds…” Chase looked at Sandy coolly. “You’re late.”“I apologize, Mr. Collins.” Sandy felt a chill in her heart.There was dead silence in the room.Sandy’s actions shocked everyone present.Harrison’s eyes widened.Sandy was the company’s deputy CEO. Her position was second to only the CEO.Wait…What did she call that rascal?M-Mr. Collins.That was when Harrison shivered. He fell weakly to the ground and looked at Chase in disbelief. “You… You’re the newly appointed CEO, Mr. Collins?”Barrett and the others were paralyzed by fear when they heard this. They started trembling as well.Chase crossed his legs and smiled at him to say, “Do you still remember what I told you? I can hit you and even fire you. Do you believe me now?”Harrison was stunned to hear that. He immediately began slapping himself. “I’m… I’m sorry, Mr. Collins. It was my fault for acting arrogantly, I was wrong…”He never imagined that the person his nephew wanted to give trouble
Riley finally burst out in the end, “Edward, he has been in there for almost an entire morning. Why isn’t he out yet?”“Don’t worry, Riley. I’ve already told my uncle about this. He won’t be able to pass the interview.” Even though Edward was also curious about this, he still smiled and comforted her.Anna said gleefully, “That’s right, Riley. Edward’s uncle is the HR manager and holds the power to recruit. If he doesn’t approve of that country bumpkin, he won’t be able to join the company.”Riley felt better when they consoled her about it.That was when they saw Harrison walking out in a hurry with a bag clenched under his armpit.Edward’s eyes lit up as he quickly went to him. “How did it go, Uncle Harrison? You didn’t let that rascal pass the interview, did you?”Harrison slapped Edward without a word. He said with a grim look on his face, “You almost got me in trouble, you ignorant thing.”This slap shocked Edward. Even Riley and the others were stunned.What was happening
“Don’t worry. We won’t say a thing about it. Hurry up and tell us.”Everyone pushed for the story.Anna sniggered and said, “I heard that when Mr. Chalk was interviewing him, Mr. Collins, who's here on an unofficial visit, saw how he was being picked on. Mr. Collins was enraged and called Miss Lawson about it. After that, Mr. Chalk was given a good scolding.”Realization dawned upon Edward. “I knew it. Why else would Uncle Harrison look at me like I’m the enemy and say that I almost got him into trouble? The newly appointed Mr. Collins saw everything.”“Riley, did you hear that? This isn't my fault. That rascal just got lucky.”“He should count his lucky stars.” Riley looked terribly upset.Edward consoled her, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll find a reason to fire him.”It was soon after work, and Edward needed to negotiate a contract. He suggested bringing along Riley and the others for a learning experience.Chase did not plan to go, but as Riley was going, he had to tag along. Af
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
Mia, Lourde, and Clef had also dropped their disguises and revealed their true faces.Lourde was no longer timid and submissive. Instead, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the crowd.Clef looked calm and confident now, his previous flattery completely gone, replaced by a defiant expression. In his hands was a submachine gun.Their surrounding subordinates each held weapons too, pointing them at the passengers.Mia tore off her outer clothes, revealing a slit black dress that clung tightly to her figure. A small, intricately designed pistol hung from her thigh.She drew it with elegance and pointed it directly at Chase and the others. "You three, behave yourselves. Don't meddle where you don't belong."Chase and his companions froze, feeling stunned—especially Chase.This development was not what he remembered. Were Garth and Mia the boss of this level? He decided to hold back for now and observe.Seeing that Chase and the other passengers seemed too shocked to react and we
Cyril approached Garth, who was lying on a stretcher on the floor. The crowd opened up a path for him. When he spoke, there was some sort of authority in his tone.Chase smiled and shook his head when he saw this. It looked like Cyril was the key to getting past this level. If things went according to plan, Cyril would soon cross paths with a notorious party. That would be the boss they had to defeat to get past the third level.Cyril opened his yellow bag while the crowd watched curiously. He took out a set of silver needles."That's quite a decent quality!" Willow could not help exclaiming.Medical and poison skills were similar. As a poison expert, Willow had pretty good medical skills. She could tell if a set of silver needles was good quality. Moreover, Cyril's technique was excellent. Willow could not help clapping.The passengers around her jumped at the noise."Why are you clapping when he hasn't even saved the patient?"A sleazy-looking man complained. His breath smelle
"Ms. Worthington, your grandfather has been suffering from this illness for years…"Lourde was not comforted at all by her comfort. He took off his glasses and wiped away his sweat. He began to tremble as he spoke."Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I hired Dr. Clef specially to treat my grandfather. Nothing will happen."The tall Tia Worthington was confident with the doctor's medical skills.Chase started to wonder about this. "If she has gotten a doctor to help her grandfather, why would the staff broadcast for help?"Willow and Walter realized the same thing when they heard Tia. However, they held back their thoughts when Chase said nothing.A young man of about 20 suddenly appeared. He was dressed simply and had a yellow bag on his back."Where's the patient? Let me have a look!" he yelled out.If he had taken time to dress up, he would have looked as handsome as Chase. As for his current situation, anyone who saw him thought that he was ordinary."Where did this bump
"Lastly, if I'm right about this, Carla should be here, but she's stuck on a random level. We'll definitely see her then.""Huh? Really?"Barnabas found this incredulous at first but later thought it made sense. Most importantly, he would not be able to convince the Supreme Elder otherwise even if he did not believe it. All Barnabas could do was agree.Sykes had an even more blunt personality. He would follow whatever the Supreme Elder said.The only thing Sykes cared about was finding a breakthrough to peak martial god.That was when he spoke up, "Should we go in now, Elder Ricky?""Go ahead."Ricky gave an exasperated reply and stepped into the teleportation door.Barnabas and Sykes looked at each other and followed suit.…On the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore, Chase and the others appeared in a plane cabin. He was relieved at first. Chase channeled his vital energy and realized there was also a seal here, but it was a higher quality seal than before. It was
Both sects had always been at loggerheads over resources and power in the past. It was difficult to sort out the feud they had.However, things changed in this generation when Carla led her sect to the top to be on the same level as the Nefarious Deity Sect. She did it all with her own capabilities.The other sects in the nether realm were also hungering for an opportunity to move up their rankings, so both sects came to a temporary compromise.It was because of Carla's feelings for Fallon that the relationship of both sects improved slightly.Dominic and Ricky were elders from the older generation who had handed over their power to the next generation, which was why their fight was not as intense as before. However, they would still taunt and insult each other in every other form possible.When Dominic heard this rumor, he assumed that Fallon had Carla wrapped around his finger.In other words, the Nefarious Deity Sect would soon own the Evil Shadow Sect. He was particularly del
