Jayson's words barely stopped them from rolling on the ground in laughter, but when Jao stepped forward, resembling a skeleton wrapped in skin, it was the final straw. Some of the thugs found it so amusing that they ended up sprawled on the floor, laughing uncontrollably. "If you were aiming to impress, you should have hired someone more capable than a beggar who could be blown away by a gust of wind," the thug leader sneered, only to be interrupted mid-sentence as Jao sent one of his comrades flying with a single kick. Their eyes widened in astonishment as they fixated on Jao's minuscule legs. It was a miraculous defiance of common sense how he managed to launch someone into the air with such force using those tiny limbs. Without hesitation, Jao seized one of the thugs, wrenching his arm with a sickening crack. A piercing cry of horror filled the air, echoing the bone-breaking sound. The remaining thugs were petrified by Jao's ferocity, their fear overwhelming their senses. "Run!
Elena's eyes widened in shock. The question meaning left her baffled. But her confusion quickly turned to fury, causing her eyes to blaze red with rage. She unleashed her anger on Jayson, scolding him with a burning intensity."Jayson Wade! After everything I've done for you! I bought you clothes, shoes, a car, and provided a roof over your head. I even fed you! Without me, you would've been begging on the streets for your next meal. All I asked in return was your faithfulness!"Jayson responded with a cold retort, his words piercing through Elena's anger. "Do you think it's easy being married to a lunatic like you? None of what you've mentioned can compensate for enduring three years as your husband."Elena struggled to find her voice, stunned by Jayson's shamelessness and audacity. He was as thick-skinned as the walls of Zeus' palace, if not more. Before she could respond, Jayson added, "Forget it. I'll rise above this and ignore you."Jayson's words struck Elena with such force tha
Elena's expression grew sour as Jayson unexpectedly demanded food as soon as he sat down, despite not having seen his coursemates for the past three years.Caleb's dissatisfaction with a trash like Jayson, who would mock him and label him a failure, was evident. He cast a cold glance at Jayson and contemptuously remarked, "While it's true that none of my songs has charted on any official music charts, I am currently signed with Big 5 Entertainment. Once my new album is released, I am confident that I will become the biggest celebrity in Jade City."It's no surprise that Caleb failed; according to Jayson's memories, the album flopped. Wasn't that the company he wanted to purchase? Dream on!"Caleb is correct; Jayson, don't be shameless. You can't measure up to Caleb," Chloe added, and others joined in agreement.Jayson relaxed back in the chair, his voice filled with confidence. "Take a look at this," he said, pointing to his wrist, showcasing his extravagant watch. He then raised his
Jayson felt a sticky substance on his cheek and a foul stench invading his nostrils. Startled, he turned around, his eyes shooting towards the sky. Suddenly, a dog began barking, causing him to spring to his feet in fright."Hahaha! Trashy Jay, you're such a scaredy-cat," Butler Mark jeered.Jayson scanned his surroundings and realized he was inside the Wilson mansion. Did Elena abandon him in this field last night? The thought darkened his expression."You got lucky. Jimmy recognized you; my plan failed," Butler Mark declared, his voice filled with amusement. He let out a whistle, and the enormous dog a few meters away wagged its tail, following Butler Mark as they departed together.A chill ran down Jayson's spine, causing his teeth to chatter and his lips to tremble. He hurriedly rushed into the house, making a beeline for his room. He submerged himself in a hot bath, where he remained for twenty minutes, seeking solace from the unsettling cold.After hastily changing into a bathro
As Jayson answered the call, Mr. Sun's voice resonated from the phone's speaker. "Hello, Boss, I've spoken with the CEO of Big 5 Entertainment. They're willing to sell the company for $50 million, despite its current market value being $30 million. However, I must mention that the company has incurred losses for the past two years.""Proceed with the purchase," Jayson responded without hesitation. "Let me know once it's finalized.""Understood, Boss," Mr. Sun acknowledged before ending the call.Although Big 5 Entertainment had faced recent losses, their contributions to the entertainment industry had sparked a revolution, resulting in unprecedented profits for numerous companies. The prospect of owning a company that could potentially be valued at billions of dollars in the coming years filled Jayson with excitement. He briefly hummed a tune, envisioning the bright future ahead, before making his way to the kitchen in search of what to eat.Chef Breed scowled as he laid eyes on Jayso
When the security men spotted Jayson approaching them disguised as Gardener Jo, they all exchanged grins. "Jo, you planning to sneak those cigarettes into the mansion?" one of the security men approached Jayson in a hushed tone. To Jayson's surprise, there was a strict no-smoking policy inside the mansion, and yet these security men seemed daring enough to defy Mrs. Wilson. "Absolutely," Jayson, maintaining the appearance of Gardener Jo, grinned mischievously before strolling out of the gate. A few minutes later, the real Gardener Jo appeared, whistling a tune as he made his way toward the security post. The five gatemen were taken aback to see Gardener Jo approaching them once more. Gardener Jo furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of unease from the way the gatemen were looking at him. "What's the matter?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "How did you get back in?" one of the security men asked with curiosity, unable to recall Gardener Jo returning after leaving the mansion. "I ne
In Jayson's eyes, Stan was a moving diamond mine in human form. With this thought, he suppressed the urge to pounce on Stan and shred him into pieces."Mr. Sun, please join us for dinner," Jayson turned to Mr. Sun standing behind him and extended the invitation before making his way to the table and taking a seat."Do you think we should ask the waitress to bring more food?" Stan asked innocently.Jayson shot him a disapproving glance and replied curtly, "Only if you're willing to foot the bill."Stan lowered his head and continued eating. Once they had finished their meal, the waitress brought the bill to the table.Jayson's hands trembled as he took hold of the bill. With red eyes, he glared at Stan, unable to bring himself to pay for it."Mr. Sun, would you kindly settle the bill?" Jayson turned to Mr. Sun and requested."Of course, boss," Mr. Sun responded, rising from his seat.Jayson then turned to Stan and expressed his interest, saying, "I'm actually interested in purchasing o
Butler Mark's frustration and confusion were evident, causing his jaws to clench tightly, the sound of his teeth clattering as he expressed his anger. He exclaimed with a furious tone, "Jayson Wade, do you not fear the wrath of the heavens? Your deceitful words may bring upon you a thunderbolt that strikes you lifeless! How can you tell such falsehoods in the presence of your mother-in-law and wife? Are you so eager to provoke divine anger?"In response, Jayson replied nonchalantly, "If you doubt the truth of my words, let us review the surveillance footage."Butler Mark instinctively nodded, but suddenly the colours drained from his face as he remembered sending the mansion's largest dog to attack Jayson. The realization hit him hard. If Elena were to see the footage, not only would he lose his job, but he could also end up in the hands of the police. Panic gripped him at the thought."I... I admit it, Madam. I let Jayson out of the mansion. Please have mercy," Butler Mark stammered
