Yet he also felt doubtful. As the saying goes, men understand men best. For Jason to go to Paradise on Earth for women and pleasure didn't seem realistic. A man insulted and berated as worse than a dog by Mary for three years, yet he never talked back once. With such restraint, would he really be ruled by lust?As Jason watched Susan leave, he lingered downstairs for a long time before picking up his phone. Then he saw Emily's message explaining everything. So Peter Cook had seen him by accident after all.Just his luck for this to happen!With a sigh, Jason dialed Steven Martin. "Find me a nice villa." He didn't want to split from Susan. One, their current home was too shabby. Two, Mary made too much trouble. No one liked living under someone else's roof. If they moved, it would be together, as a surprise for her.Steven readily agreed, but then hesitated nervously. "There's some trouble taking over the fight club. It won't be easy to control." "And I can't figure out who's caus

"I'm begging you, please..."In but a moment, his forehead split open from the impacts.The blood-covered old master and his dozen disciples cried out in anguish, their despairing howls pitiful yet unable to even lift their heads."Senior Brother, no!"Mere minutes ago, the six elites of the Northern Faction had swept aside their entire Krav Maga lineage.Effortless as snapping withered branches.Especially Larry, whose might was terrifying.As the disciples wailed, an old robed man watched on with a cold sneer, satisfaction and arrogance writ on his face - Larry's master, Frank, famed as the Taekwondo Grandmaster.Years ago, he had triumphed over Sean's master on this very ground, crippling the now bloodied failure. Today, as his proudest disciple neared graduation into the martial world, his first thought had been of Krav Maga for Larry to hone his skills.He had expected a challenge, yet to think they were but useless rabble, with Larry hardly warmed up. But then, Jason stepped f

Jason had made a call earlier. Could that have been related? While they'd prefer to believe it was just an unfortunate mishap, the circumstances seemed too clean, as if guided by an outside force."Gurgle...gurgle..." Meanwhile, Jason took deep breaths, silently sensing the changes within his body. The mystical chant's enhancements came and went quickly, leaving weakness in their wake.But this time was different. He had tried segmenting the power output rather than unleashing it all at once. The attempt was very successful - he had won the bout without draining himself to the point he couldn't stand. Still, exhaustion lingered. More refinement was needed.Sensing the stares upon him, Jason was unsurprised. Frank and his six companions' "accident" had of course been his doing. Showing mercy to one's enemies was cruelty to oneself. Hands clasped behind his back, he mused, "What do you want to know? What will you ask?"Sean had barely opened his mouth when his master quickly pulled h

The mansion was bought, but still needed some furnishing before they could move in, likely several more days. He had to regain Susan's trust in that time.Trust was so precious to him because of past experience. If his grandfather had trusted him all those years ago, he would never have been exiled for a decade. Now, his eldest brother was gravely ill, needing a bone marrow transplant - as his brother, Jason was the ideal donor.Yet when this issue arose, the first thing his grandfather considered was having Jason sacrifice himself to save his eldest brother, regardless of whether he lived or died.Jason wasn't surprised by this cold-blooded decision. His grandfather, Old Wesley, was a callous, ruthless, honorless man who had never cared for him, only the elder brother. What did surprise Jason was his mother unexpectedly helping him this time. If not for her blocking, his grandfather would have already sent people to collect him by force. How could his vicious sister-in-law not have

Seeing this, Stephen was furious, but Jason waved it off with a faint smile. "Just an empty reputation. Whether I'm called Master or not makes no difference. True skill shines through anywhere.""You are absolutely right, Master. With your skills, you will surely outshine them all here. They are the blind, ignorant ones," Stephen agreed fervently.He quickly produced two invitations, one originally for his absent master. With Jason taking it, they could attend the conference together. The Chinese Medicine Conference was quite prestigious, drawing hospital delegations from a dozen institutions nationwide and many acclaimed physicians, even two legendary masters headlining the event. Just over a hundred people, but the cream of the crop.Upon entering the hall, Jason saw the conference was already underway, with a group examining an elderly man. "Charlatan? How'd you get in? Security's tight here," Kelly Harris exclaimed in surprise, having ditched him earlier.Jason just smiled and w
