What?Two billion?Quinn and Elanie were shocked. They thought they had heard it wrong.Both of them came with the preconceived notion that it would be difficult to get their investment. However, Sandy was already aware of their reason for being here and even took the initiative to offer two billion as an investment.“Is the investment too little for you, Miss Norris?” The look on Sandy’s face changed slightly as she asked the question.Quinn quickly waved her hands anxiously and stammered, “No, no. That’s enough.”She would have been happy with one or two hundred million in investment.She did not expect Sandy to offer two billion instead, which shocked her.“Good. Come with me to sign the contract, please.” Sandy gestured toward a direction respectfully.That was how Quinn managed to quickly sign a partnership agreement with La Fleur.Before she left, Sandy gave Quinn her card. “This is my personal contact information, Miss Norris. Please feel free to contact me should you
Chase paused after saying this.Both women were taken aback.Quinn frowned and said, “What do you mean? Are you telling me that you’re the CEO of La Fleur?”“That’s right. I’m the CEO of La Fleur,” Chase admitted graciously.Elaine could not help sniggering. “Are you trying to show off, Collins?“Just because your surname is also Collins doesn’t mean that you’re the CEO of La Fleur.”She looked at Chase with disdain. “I have to say that this is the first time I’ve seen someone as shameless as you.”Chase replied seriously, “I really am the CEO of La Fleur. If you don’t believe me, I can get Sandy Lawson here as my witness…”“Alright, stop fooling around. The most important thing right now is to return to the company and share the good news with the shareholders.”Quinn interrupted Chase. They got into the car and drove straight to Blizzard Group.It was clear that even she did not believe that Chase was the CEO of La Fleur.Elaine was looking forward to getting back as she s
“What?!”Everyone exclaimed loudly when they heard this. They were all shocked by the news.They passed the contract around to read it as their minds went blank.It was really true!After Jeanie was done reading it, all she saw in front of her was black. She almost passed out.“This is impossible. It’s not possible that this bitch would be able to get two billion worth of investment.”She looked vicious as she roared horribly, “I’ve told Owen Hudson to do something about this. What was that useless man doing?!”There was an incredulous look in her eyes, and she was almost going crazy from things not working out the way she planned.Jeanie had always been better at Quinn when it came to both looks and capability.She was finally given the opportunity to defeat Quinn but ended up still being on the losing end.How could Jeanie take this?!Quinn looked coldly at Jeanie when she heard what Jeanie said and retorted, “So, Owen Hudson had been working for you, Jeanie.“Unfortunate
The security guards turned and left when they heard this.“Don’t go, come back!“Ow! I’m begging you! Stop hitting me…”Jeanie was crying out in pain and begging for the beating to stop, but it only made Owen hit her harder.Quinn could no longer take the sight when she saw this and went forward to stop it.“Don’t. Have you forgotten how arrogant she was?” Chase said as he enjoyed the show.Jeanie could only keep begging, “Miss Norris, please. I’m begging you. Please help me…“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have kept going against you, and I shouldn’t have plotted to take over your position as CEO..”Jeanie's face was badly bruised, and even her front teeth had been broken. She was no longer as arrogant as before.Chase finally asked when he thought she had enough, “What are you going to do about the matter of giving up your shares?”“I’ll agree to it. Just please save me from this madman,” Jeanie pleaded.Chase prepared a share transfer agreement for Quinn and placed it in front
“I bought this villa a few years back, and I stay here most of the time.”Quinn explained to Chase while pointing at a bedroom on the second floor. "That will be your room from now on.” Even though she was not willing to live with a man, Chase was now her husband in name. She could not let him wander around homeless.Besides, Chase had offended Huey, and Huey was determined to hurt Chase. She could not let anything happen to him.“Are we considered to be living together now?” Chase said to her with a small smile.“Don’t even think about it.”Quinn’s pretty face blushed as she glared at him. “I just feel sorry that you have nothing and nowhere to stay in South River City, which is why I'm letting you stay here. Don’t overthink this.“But we need to come to an agreement before you move in.”“Go ahead,” Chase said.“First, you’re not allowed to touch me, not even hold my hand.“Second, you aren’t allowed into my room without my permission. And you can’t touch any of my things,
Quinn’s kitchen was huge and luxurious.Chase was speechless when he opened her refrigerator.It was worth over a hundred thousand, but there was nothing in there but a dry pack of pasta.Spices left on the stove such as salt and pepper were all brand new and still wrapped up.Pasta was the only thing Chase could cook for her. Considering that she was a working woman who was constantly networking, he did not put in any pungent ingredients such as garlic.Despite the lack of ingredients, he managed to serve up the pasta.Quinn sniffed the pasta and was surprised as she said, “It smells really good. I can’t believe you really do know how to make a meal.”Chase said, “There’s nothing left in your house but pasta. You’ll need to make do with this for now. I’ll make more for you if this isn’t enough.”He had stayed in the mountains for decades, and Chase had learned to cook because he was in charge of taking care of the old man.Quinn was too hungry and immediately dug into the pas
Chase shook his head and said, “Get your men to stand down. I know how to handle this.”“Alright.” Bianca left with her men.Chase looked coldly into the dark night. “You asked for this, Harrigans.”…When Bianca got home, she immediately told William about what happened.She asked, “Grandpa, the Harrigans seem determined to kill Dr. Collins. What should we do?”William grunted coldly and said, “Warn Huey Harrigan to stay away from Dr. Collins in the name of the Coopers. Tell him that Dr. Collins is our benefactor. If he dares touch Dr. Collins, he'll be making an enemy out of us.”“Grandpa, the Harrigans are South River City’s most elite family…” Bianca was shocked by his words. She did not expect her grandfather to be hot-tempered enough to choose a direct confrontation with the Harrigans.“It doesn’t matter if they're the most elite family.”William laughed coldly and said, “Don’t forget that Dr. Collins has the Dragon Soul Ring. The Harrigans are lesser than ants in the
About ten minutes later in the homestay located in South River City’s suburbs, Chase was here to see Julia again. He was disappointed that there was no improvement in Julia’s mental condition.She was still afraid of strangers and sunlight. She was even frequently disturbed by nightmares of the fire.Sam could not help asking, “Sir, how about if I send her overseas to a psychiatric hospital?”“It’s fine.” Chase shook his head and said, “I can treat her. All I require is some things that I might need you to prepare for me.”“Please tell me what they are.” Sam perked up immediately.Chase wrote down a medical prescription. “I need you to use your connections to help me find these medical herbs, especially the main herb, Sky Spirit Flower.”“Secondly, I need you to find me a calligraphy pen. Not the ordinary kind, but the kind of pen that has spiritual energy.”Sam looked at Chase in bewilderment. “A calligraphy pen with spiritual energy?”He had lived quite a life but had never
Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the
Chase watched as Fallon chatted with others and did not answer his question.He was furious with Fallon for ignoring him.Chase immediately used Thousand Eyes and Flowers, which he had learned from Jade. A firewall slowly burned behind him. The eye of the fire kept shooting flames as it slowly gathered more flames.The air around it was like an oven as the temperature shot up continuously."Step back."Chase warned Willow and the others.Willow and Walter were the only ones who knew about his sisters.They took several steps back to avoid the range of Chase's Thousand Eyes and Flowers. Willow and Walter showed Yara and Lisa images of Chase's sisters to explain the situation."These two sisters of Chase are really beautiful. The one in white looks adorable while the one in purple looks so dashing. Tsk, tsk. I had no idea he had such good fortune."Yara praised Olivia and Hanna when he saw their images.Willow and Lisa felt a little jealous. "They're all right."They replied w
They objected to Carla and Fallon's relationship from the very start.Both of them were happy to see them fight.If Carla could break up with Fallon, they might consider forgiving Carla for setting up the Severance Formation against them.After all, it would be good for her if she learned her lesson.Tack and Norm waited to see how Fallon would handle this.Norm knew nothing about this, but Tack was sure of one thing. Chase's sisters were in his hands.Besides them, one of Chase's seven sisters was in the hands of a Supreme Elder from the Nefarious Deity sect.Fallon had been wondering about Chase's sisters when Carla suddenly accused him of this. He could not help sighing quietly.What did he do to deserve this?"Would you believe me if I told you I don't know who his sisters are?" Fallon said bitterly."Believe you? If I'm right about this, Chase Collins is working with Willow because he wants to find his sisters. He already has the Nefarious Deity Sect locked down as the p
At the tournament venue, Chase watched as Yara held Willow's hand while Willow was holding Lisa's hand. All three of them came toward him in a line.He looked at them strangely.Yara had forgotten that she was dressed as a man, and it looked quite striking to be holding two women's hands.The spectators and Yara's die-hard fans burned with jealousy when they saw their ideal man being close to Willow, who should know better. They became agitated as all sorts of speculations crossed their minds. They started to curse at Willow."Who's that slut? How dare she seduce Yara?""Tear her apart right now! Go on! What are you waiting for?""Vixen! She's shameless. How could she be good enough for Yara when she's so ugly?""Tsk, tsk. Could she have drugged him? Why does Yara look excited? There's no way he could be interested in a mediocre woman like her when he's such a gorgeous specimen.""Look at the three of them running toward Chase Collins. Is this some sort of new play? Looks excit
Every powerhouse around them must have tried to sense it and come to the same conclusion as her.None of them dared to act rashly.All the top fighters from the sixth level have gathered there to quietly watch Chase, the Chosen One, enter the Holy Path.However, he told everyone that he was waiting for others.All of them had no choice but to wait with him.The people he was waiting for had finally arrived.Yara appeared hurriedly and entered the tournament ring along with Willow and Lisa."Who's that good-looking man?"Tack asked Fallon.Fallon and Carla looked at each other. He answered in exasperation, "That's Yara Fries, who is actually a woman."Tack and Norm did not believe him. Yara may have exceptional looks and could be viewed as a formidable character, but there was no doubt that he was a man.They exclaimed at the same time, "A woman?" "Yes. Yara possesses the phoenix bloodline. Every time Yara goes through the Rising, he will go through a gender change and his
"Hurry up! The Holy Path is about to open!""Huh? Oh no. Carla and the others seemed to come to a ceasefire.""More and more people are gathering here. Everyone is waiting for you…"Many images followed those messages.The sky turned dark as thunder rolled and lightning struck.Everyone there stood quietly. It looked like they were waiting for something.Willow and Lisa were alarmed to see such a serious sight."What's going on?"Yara asked in concern when he saw the expressions on their faces.Lisa still could not say a word as she blushed.Willow acted slightly more naturally. "Something big seems to be happening at the tournament. Yara, are you sure…"She sounded worried."Something big? We should hurry there right now! What are we waiting for?"Yara grabbed her hand to fly over right away.Willow's heart jumped. All her worries seem to disappear.All she could think about was, "Ah! Yara is holding my hand!"Lisa had no idea what to do and followed behind them.When
They did not even notice Chase was trying to message them. Willow and Lisa held each other's hands as their hearts thumped wildly. They did not want to miss any conversation between Yara and Wilbur."No. I rejected him," Yara replied in a huff.Wilbur had to be getting old because his memory was pretty bad.He had already guessed that Yara was not willing. How could he ask such a question? Yara's mood got even worse."Where did River go after that? Do you know?" Wilbur gave a long sigh. Fortunately, River did not end up sleeping with Yara. He was quietly relieved about it."River seemed to be occupied with something and left hurriedly toward the South of the city. I did not see him after that."Yara quietly prayed after answering that Wilbur would head to the city immediately to find his beloved disciple after hearing this news, and stop harassing him. Since River was dead, Yara would send his condolences, and Wilbur should quickly hold a funeral for him."Sorry for disturbing y
Yara was shocked. Only the Red-Robed priest, Tack, from the nether realm's Evil Shadow Sect, knew about his phoenix bloodline being awakened. He had even kept it a secret from the Fries.Everyone on the sixth level thought he was physically a man.How did River find out about it?After some probing, he realized River had no idea the nether realm existed, much less knew about Tack. He found this puzzling. Now that Wilbur had come furiously to attack him, Yara decided to try probing him about it. He wondered if River acted on his master's orders.Yara had no idea that River's mind and soul had been possessed by one of Klondike's projected forms.Klondike wanted to know more about the Dark and Light Order of the Path in this world, where the Dark and Light Divine Pearls ruled. It was the best way to quickly possess them.Phoenixes were bloodlines of Ancient Divine Beasts. To Klondike, they were the best medium to understand the source of this world and the Order of the Path.Interc
That was when he saw Yara walk out of the room. He could sense River's unique aura emanating from him.Wilbur immediately determined Yara to be River's murderer. A spear shot through the air, and the space around it contorted. The walls surrounding the spear were instantly crushed.When Yara was suddenly attacked, he used a strange technique and drifted from the door to the balcony. He took out his emerald flute in preparation to defend himself."All I did was have a drink with River a few days ago. Why are you acting so rashly toward me?" Yara sounded puzzled about this.River was the one who had bad intentions toward him. Yara had found his actions disgusting but was now accused of some sort of wrongdoing instead."Stop the pretense. River's Soul Lamp has diminished. You're one of the last people to see him when he was alive, and his mind and soul mark is on you. Who else was responsible for it if it wasn't you?" Wilbur was enraged."One of the last people? Have you investigate
