Chapter 247

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
“Who is this?” Chase frowned as he looked at the young man.

“Allow me to introduce you, Chase. This is Alex Landon. That’s his father, Ian Landon. You can just call him Mr. Ian.”

Henry smiled and introduced Chase to them. He added, “Ian used to be my superior. He’s now the newly appointed general manager of La Fleur.”

The newly appointed general manager?

Chase glanced at Ian. He must have gotten appointed after the meeting that Chase held ended the last time.

Otherwise, he would have recognized this man.

Ian acted arrogantly upon meeting Chase’s eyes. He did not give Chase a second glance.

He acted as if Chase was not worth his time at all.

Chase did not mind and found himself a seat.

Alex’s face fell when he saw Chase being indifferent. “Are you deaf? I was just asking you a question.”

“Were you speaking to me just now?” Chase tilted his head to look at Alex.

“Who else could be talking to you? A pig?” Alex grunted coldly.

Chase nodded and said, “You’re right. I did think

    Ian had just taken on the position and had no idea how they had offended the CEO.That was why Henry wanted to find out more from Chase.Chase softened his expression before saying, “I’ll be honest with you. Riley, Edward, and the others were fired by me.”Everyone thought they had heard wrong when Chase answered them.Alex burst out laughing. “What did you just say? You were the one who fired them?“Are you listening to yourself? My dad found out from the company employees that Riley and the others were fired by the CEO. What does their matter have to do with a country bumpkin like you?”Chase replied nonchalantly, “That’s because I’m the CEO of La Fleur.”Alex was taken aback but immediately laughed so hard that he had to clutch his stomach. “You guys, did you hear that? This rascal claims to be the CEO of La Fleur.”Ian was laughing as well. “Henry, I have to admit that this brat that you’re so protective of is making me laugh really hard.”“Just listen to him, Henry. He’s

    Ian and Alex were taken aback. They did not expect Chase to agree so readily.However, they immediately sniggered.He was still putting up an act.They wanted to see how long he could keep it up.It would be interesting to see how he would react when they arrived at Imperial Dragon Bay Villa No. 1!They did not say anything further but immediately got everyone downstairs.“See that car, Collins?”Alex pointed at the black SUV parked by the road. “That’s a BMW X5 that’s worth 700,000 to 800,000. You’ve probably never sat in one before, have you?”Chase nodded and replied, “No, I haven’t.”'Bumpkin!' Alex said this in his heart and he burst out laughing. It gave him a sense of superiority.He suddenly saw Chase take out his phone to call someone.“What are you doing?” Alex asked.“Making a call to fire your dad.”Chase said to Alex and later spoke on the phone to Sandy, “Is our newly appointed general manager called Ian Landon?”“Yes, Mr. Collins. I was planning to update y

    It took a while for Alex to snap out of it. He turned to look at Chase with a snigger and said, “Didn’t you say this villa belonged to you, Collins? Prove it to us.”“That’s right. Prove it to us,” Ian also began pushing Chase about it.Chase was about to say something.However, Henry suddenly sighed and said, “Let’s just go back, Chase. I hope you’ll treat today as a lesson and be truthful from now onward. Never exaggerate your words again.”“Don’t you believe me?” Chase raised an eyebrow.“What’s there to believe?”Laura sneered and said, “You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think you’re good enough for a villa as luxurious as this?“We've never believed you. We came with you to see you getting embarrassed.“What a pity that your shamelessness knows no bounds. You’re still trying to maintain the act now that we’re here.”Everyone turned to look at Chase with laughter in their eyes. They looked like they were looking at a clown.The door to the vill

    At this moment, Henry and the group were dumbstruck. It was as if they were under a spell.Shock, horror, and amazement appeared on their faces interchangeably.“A country bumpkin?”“The owner of Villa No.1 at Imperial Dragon Bay?”“Sam called him 'Chief'?”Those identities appeared in their brains one after another. Feeling like they had been struck by a bolt from the blue, they remained frozen. After all, they would never have connected those identities with Chase themselves as it would be too ridiculous.If they had not seen it happen with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.The faces of Alex and his father turned pale.They had offended a big shot who was so powerful that the Kingpin of South River City had to kneel to him and call him 'Chief'!Moreover, before they came here, they had been bad-mouthing Chase and even insulting him.Laura started shaking like a leaf in the wind. Aside from shock and horror, there was also remorse on her face.She had und

    Now that he had lost his job, how would he repay the loan that required him to pay a monthly installment of more than 100 grand? Since Alex was standing very close to him, he also heard what Sandy said.At that moment, he felt extremely remorseful. His face turned white as a sheet.He was seriously regretting it right now!He should have never crossed Chase. Now, he had even caused his father to lose his job.Suddenly, Ian knelt in front of Chase and pleaded, “Mr. Collins, please forgive me. I’m begging you!”“Get them to leave within ten minutes. If they refuse, break their legs and throw them down the mountain.”After Chase said that, he turned to go back into the villa without even sparing the father and son a glance.Sam then looked at the two men maliciously, asking, “Are you going to leave by yourselves or should I help you?”The two were frightened and quickly got into the car. They soon drove away in disappointment.…It had been more than ten minutes. Chase sat o

    Not long after Sam left Villa No.1 at Imperial Dragon Bay, Bianca called Chase and told him that there was an auction at South River City tomorrow afternoon.The spiritual brush Chase was looking for was being auctioned off.Aside from that, Bianca also mentioned that there would be a lot of big shots at the auction.“I didn’t expect so many people to pay attention to just a mere auction.”After Chase hung up, he frowned and murmured to himself, “I hope they’re not after the brush. Or else, they shouldn’t blame me for snatching it from them.”Aside from his seven sisters, Julia was the only survivor of the tragedy.Perhaps she knew where the seven women were. Since curing Julia was an urgent matter, Chase would not allow the spiritual brush to end up with others.…Quinn lost count of how many sleepless nights she had.She lay on her bed and stared blankly at the ceiling on top of her.She did not dare to fall asleep and could not fall asleep either.It was because as soon a

    The next morning, Chase washed up and went to a traditional marketplace in South River City.The reason he came here was that Julia was seriously losing her mind. Traditional needle treatment was not working on her anymore, so he could only use talismans on her.That was why he kept asking around for the spiritual brush. He wanted to use it to draw a Clear-Headed Talisman for Julia.Now that he knew where the brush was, he still needed to buy other materials for the talisman.For example, cinnabars and talisman papers.After about half an hour, Chase had acquired everything he needed.Now, he needed the final important material—spiritual blood.Basically, spiritual blood was chicken blood. However, chicken blood was usually used by quacks to deceive people.If one wanted to draw an effective talisman, one would need blood that was spiritual aside from a spiritual brush.Of course, it did not have to be chicken blood. It could also be from a pigeon as long as it had spiritualit

    Chase bent down to pick up a small stone before flicking it.The stone flew across the air and hit the pigeon on the leg.The pigeon fell from the tree, letting out a terrified coo as it did.Immediately, Chase grabbed it and left.…Half an hour later, Bernard and the bald man walked out of the marketplace.The bald man, Luke Rivers, lifted his head to look around before whistling.However, what shocked him was that his pigeon was nowhere to be seen.He whistled again but still, he did not see anything, let alone his pigeon.Luke’s expression changed as he yelled, “Oh no! Someone must have stolen my precious pigeon!”“What? How dare they do that?” Bernard was also shocked.“You son of a bitch, I will never forgive you!”Luke released another pigeon from his bamboo tube and then took out a silver feather to wave it before the pigeon’s nose. “Go!”The pigeon spun a few times in the air before speeding toward the mountain near them.“Follow it!”A murderous look appeared i

    Yara initially wanted to explain that she was actually a woman—what did Willow even mean by "closeted romantic feelings"?Then she remembered her current male appearance and that no one except Tack and Chase knew her true gender and bloodline.Of course, she did not know that her private conversation with Chase had been eavesdropped on by Carla. All four masters from the Evil Shadow Sect and Nefarious Deity Sect were fully aware of her female identity.She was about to find another excuse when Chase spoke first, "She's actually a woman."He simply had enough of Willow and Lisa's gazes.To settle this issue once and for all, Chase had to sacrifice his teammate. "She told me she awakened the Phoenix Deity's bloodline. Phoenixes change gender with each rebirth."The phoenix is inherently unified. So the Yara they're seeing now is essentially hermaphroditic. Which gender she displays depends on her mood and will."Chase spilled Yara's secrets completely like beans. Yara stopped pret

    Willow and the others were stunned after hearing this."It seems this is indeed the Holy Path, the place where the Light Divine Pearl slumbers."It's also the battlefield between the evil god Klondike and the 12 Primal Treasures, the guardians of this universe," Chase said solemnly, understanding the situation after hearing Yara's explanation and recalling his previous encounter with the Light Divine Pearl."Weren't they fighting in outer space?" Willow asked, confused."This is a battlefield specially created by the 12 Primal Treasures using their spatial abilities. It's not merely a simple planet," Yara explained.It appeared that her awakened memories were substantial.Chase looked at her thoughtfully. "So, there might be other primal treasures and ancient races existing here?""That's right," Yara confirmed."I wish I could be that strong too," Walter said somewhat enviously as he stroked the ancient dragon's bones."Hey, these dragon bones could be used to make weapons, r

    Chase scanned the surrounding light pillars for potential dangers while answering Yara."Earth? So you really are a visitor from another world! I knew your background was extraordinary!" Yara exclaimed excitedly.From her perspective, if Chase was a visitor from another realm, his actions made perfect sense."Is your homeland like an immortal realm? Full of powerful beings who can move mountains and part seas?" she asked enthusiastically."Uh," Chase felt a headache coming on. "Actually, most people there are ordinary. Those like me are just a minority. Don't overthink it."After speaking, he made a gesture to silence everyone and pointed upward. The light pillar seemed to reach its end. Their destination was a planet!Chase had seen plenty of footage from astronauts landing. This situation resembled those scenes closely.Even so, how would they land? Would the light pillar deliver them directly to the surface?If the light pillar disappeared in the atmosphere, Chase's martial

    Universal Element Priest looked at Clive, who had lost his sense of self, and shook his head helplessly.He used his vital energy to contain the poison and focused his mind. Spiritual light erupted around him as rows of mystical symbols appeared. Spiritual energy gathered instantly, churning like waves.Even the nearby teleportation door was affected."Boundless Heaven and Earth, Borrowing the Power of the Cosmos! Go!" As the command left his mouth, space-time fluctuated and distorted.Clive, who was on the flying vessel, sensed the danger. He suddenly accelerated toward him. His tentacles extended rapidly like an octopus, attempting to grab the gradually blurring Universal Element Priest.At that moment, the teleportation door suddenly burst with light, and countless light pillars radiated outward. They not only enveloped Universal Element Priest and his two companions but also wrapped around almost everyone in the arena below.Universal Element Priest discovered with horror t

    Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was

    Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.

    Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were

    "No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami

    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
