Jayson's legs trembled with anticipation as Hayden charged towards him, eliciting a deafening roar from the crowd. Jayson's heart raced with excitement as Hayden climbed into the ring, flexing his muscles and causing Jayson to gulp nervously.
The announcer, a portly man holding a microphone, grinned as he addressed the spectators. "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's match promises to be an epic showdown between our reigning champion and a promising newcomer."
As Jayson scanned the arena, his heart sank when he realized that there was no referee present. He shuddered with apprehension as the announcer exited the ring, leaving the two of them to face each other alone.
Jayson's heart raced with terror at the sound of a bell ringing. When he met Hayden's intense gaze, his legs gave out, causing him to shudder. The crowd erupted in laughter, filling the ring with their boisterous voices. Chants of "Kill him!" echoed around him, causing Jayson to feel like he was losing his spirit.Internally cursing his fate, Jayson wondered if he was fated to die like a helpless animal. Hayden charged towards him, causing the ring to shake beneath him. In a desperate attempt to escape, Jayson rolled across the surface, but Hayden caught up to him quickly. As Hayden's massive hand swung towards him, Jayson felt a gust of wind that sent a chill down his spine.
Jayson quickly stood up and took a few steps back, realizing he wouldn't last more than five minutes in the ring against Hayden. However, a sudden idea flashed through his mind and his face brightened with excitement. Hayden gestured to him, motioning for Jayson to come closer.But Jayson's expression quickly shifted to one of fear and frustration as he muttered to himself, "Facing someone as strong as you head-on is like going up against a chimpanzee. Who in their right mind would do that?"
As Hayden rushed towards him, Jayson desperately shouted out, "Wait! I know where your wife and child are. If you kill me, you'll never see them again!"Hayden suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing Jayson to break out in a cold sweat. He knew that finding his wife and child was Hayden's top priority before he died, and he hadn't been able to fulfill that wish.
Jayson let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Hayden was not moving. However, his relief quickly turned to fear as he noticed Hayden's face had turned dark, almost as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Without warning, Hayden let out a deafening roar and screamed, "Die!" Jayson stumbled backwards and fell to the ground, rattled by Hayden's sudden outburst."Hahaha!" The spectators found the scene amusing and erupted into laughter as they watched Jayson's condition.
Hayden relentlessly chased Jayson around the ring, his eyes burning with fury as if he wanted to devour him whole. Despite running back and forth for four minutes, Jayson stood his ground with a heroic spirit."I'm not afraid of you!" Jayson yelled out, surprising Hayden. He stood there in a daze, wondering if the little brat he was chasing was actually referring to him.
Jayson's frustration boiled over, and he clenched his fist, shouting, "Eat my fist!" as he lunged forward.
Hayden simply smiled, folded his arms, and watched Jayson like a clown. Jayson's fist landed on Hayden's stomach with a thud, but he only grimaced and retracted his fist with a strange expression on his face.
"Damn it! Why don't you just become a wall instead of a human?" Jayson lamented, realizing that he had made a big mistake in underestimating Hayden's strength.
Jayson attempted to retreat, but Hayden seized his arm and lifted him off the ground, causing his legs to dangle in the air. With a tight grip on Jayson's neck, Hayden raised him even higher, and Jayson struggled to catch his breath while his eyes rolled back.As Hayden continued to squeeze, Jayson's air supply dwindled, and he desperately grasped Hayden's arm. However, Hayden's hold eventually began to loosen until he released Jayson, who fell to the ground and coughed uncontrollably while gasping for air.Hayden stumbled backwards and collapsed onto the ground, causing the entire underground arena to fall into a sudden hush. Jayson struggled to his feet and let out a regretful sigh. The circumstances surrounding Hayden's death had always been a mystery to him, and now he was reliving it all over again.The stunned audience remained frozen, unable to react as Jayson's arm was suddenly seized and raised in victory. "The winner is Jayson!" the announcer declared, breaking the silence. Jayson's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I'm now twenty million dollars richer," he muttered to himself in disbelief. He had never seen that much money in his previous life, but now it was his.
With a sneer, Jayson muttered under his breath, "Wilson family, just wait and see." The spectators were too stunned to cheer, but Jayson didn't care. He made his way to the prize booth and eagerly retrieved the winnings, his hands trembling as he clutched the ATM card.
Without looking back, Jayson quickly fled the underground boxing ring, his own shadow now a source of fear.
Jayson hailed a taxi and eagerly got in, humming with excitement as they drove towards his hotel. However, as he stepped out of the taxi and paid the fare, he was surprised to see Daniel lurking outside the hotel gate at such a late hour."What are you doing here?" Jayson asked, his expression darkening. He couldn't understand how he had failed to notice in his previous life that the Wilson family members were oddballs.
Daniel responded with a tone of dissatisfaction, "Why don't you come back home with me? Do you want to invite ridicule upon the Wilson family, with people pointing fingers and laughing at us because our son-in-law is staying in a hotel?"Jayson's expression twisted with disdain as he gazed at Daniel's face, appearing as though he had just been forced to consume sh*t.
"I will take it into consideration. However, please ask your mother and sisters to come quickly and kneel before me. Once they have done so, I will return," Jayson said, his expression seemingly innocent.
Daniel felt his anger rising. He wouldn't have bothered to come and find Jayson if he hadn't been forced to wait for him. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to, Jayson? You're nothing but trash," he seethed. "Forget it, guys. Let's just put him in the van and be done with it." Daniel had run out of patience.
As three of his lackeys emerged from the darkness, their sinister smiles sent a chill down Jayson's spine. He had never imagined that Daniel would stoop so low. Jayson's face fell, and his disappointment was evident.
With a smirk of satisfaction, Daniel taunted Jayson, "You didn't see this coming, did you? You're like a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking you're important when you're really not."
Jayson felt his heart sink as he surveyed his surroundings. He had not expected Daniel to resort to such underhanded tactics. He knew that resisting would only lead to trouble, and so he decided to play it safe. Putting on a fake smile, Jayson addressed Daniel, "Brother-in-law, was it really necessary to be so aggressive? I was just kidding around, haha!" Daniel's expression turned sour. He had no patience for someone like Jayson. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get in the van and let's go," he said dismissively. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Jayson nodded and said, "Actually, I have a gift for my wife that I left inside. Let me just grab it quickly and then I'll join you." Daniel's face darkened even further. He was annoyed every time Jayson referred to his sister as his wife. "Hurry up and get it," he snapped, waving his hand impatiently. Jayson chuckled nervously and scurried back into the hotel, while Daniel waited impatiently, glancing at his watch from time to time. "He's tak
Daniel and his gang erupted in boisterous laughter, causing tears to stream down their faces. Amidst the laughter, Daniel clutched his stomach and threw some cash at Jao, taunting him, "Pick up the money and scram. You must be starving after not eating for three weeks."Jayson shook his head disapprovingly and muttered, "Daniel, you're such a fool." He couldn't be bothered to engage with Daniel and his band of troublemakers. As he approached the taxi, Daniel suddenly stopped laughing and glared at him, bellowing, "How dare you!""Daniel, you're being too loud," Jayson scolded.Daniel scowled and ordered his cronies to "get them." His three henchmen flexed their muscles and advanced menacingly.Daniel's lackeys wore smug grins as one of them approached Jao, while two others headed towards Jayson. They clearly underestimated Jao, not taking him seriously.Jayson casually leaned on the car and gestured towards Daniel, instructing Jao, "I'll take care of this blockhead. You handle the oth
The sales representative eagerly escorted Jayson through the various outlets, but to her dismay, he showed no interest in any of the clothing she presented to him, no matter how persuasively she presented them. "Sir, this exquisite piece was designed by a renowned Italian designer and would complement your style," she offered, only to receive yet another shake of the head from Jayson. "Perhaps this summer trend will catch your eye? It is quite expensive but worth the investment," she suggested, but again, Jayson wasn't swayed. After an hour of fruitless persuasion, the sales rep was becoming increasingly frustrated. Her hopes of earning a bonus from this sale were quickly fading. "Sir, may I ask what you're looking for?" she inquired, her expression darkening. Despite her professional demeanour, she couldn't help but curse Jayson's third-generation under her breath. "How do you expect someone like me, a millionaire, to wear such shabby outfits? Please show me something better," Ja
Jayson was deep in thought in his hotel room, his mind focused on where to invest his money. He had set aside the issue with the Wilson family for the time being. Suddenly, a news story about a factory sale caught his attention. He quickly pulled out his phone and began to research the company. As he delved deeper into his memories, Jayson's eyes began to glow with excitement. He remembered that the factory had once produced a popular juice that had become a household item. The owner had sold the factory and, within a year, the juice product had taken off, propelling the factory to become a multi-national company. With this information in mind, Jayson closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, before his eyes lit up with inspiration. He had found the perfect investment opportunity. Jayson exclaimed with joy, "I am rich! I am rich!" and rolled around on the bed with a wide grin. Jao looked at him in disbelief. After a moment, Jayson stood up and called someone on his phone, his hand
Jayson strode into the private room and immediately noticed a nervous man waiting for him. The man seemed taken aback by Jayson's unexpected arrival, given that his factory had been struggling with losses and had been targeted by a government official."Mr. Wells, you're here!" the man exclaimed, clearly surprised."As I mentioned earlier, Mr. White, I am interested in purchasing your factory," Jayson replied calmly. "Please have a seat."Mr. White was taken aback by Jayson's knowledge of his name, but he relaxed his eyebrows and took a closer look at Jao, whom he had not noticed before."Is this your lawyer, Mr. Wells?" Mr. White asked suspiciously, noting that Jao did not appear to be a learned individual."No, he is not," Jayson replied. "But let's get down to business. How much are you willing to sell your factory for?"Mr. White hesitated before finally revealing, "The price is 10 million dollars."Without any hesitation, Jayson responded, "Alright, I will proceed with the transa
The Wilson family members were met with curious gazes, which made them feel embarrassed and then quickly enraged. Daniel's glare towards Jayson was filled with intense hatred, if looks could kill, Jayson would have died one hundred times. Jayson's regrettable tone broke the silence, "If you are not here to kneel, then I will return to my room; I am not free." He turned around, ready to leave. Elena couldn't bear to see him go and called out to him anxiously, "Wait!" Jayson turned around, pretending to be accommodating and replied, "Since you want me to wait, I will." Elena glanced at her family, who all wore expressions of reluctance. Even Mrs. Wilson, who had initially charged them on, appeared unwilling. With determination, Elena gritted her teeth and fell on her knees, causing gasps to fill the air. Mrs. Wilson's face turned ashen, and Lucy was too overcome to follow suit. "Get down on your knees," Mrs. Wilson ordered, clenching her jaws. Daniel glared at Jayson as he stood up
Upon hearing Jayson's words, the Wilson family was overwhelmed with joy, their eyes turning red with emotion. They eagerly anticipated the recovery of all that the young thief had taken from them.Mrs. Wilson beamed at Jayson and said, "We trust you, Jayson. You wouldn't deceive us."Jayson nodded in agreement and watched as the Wilson family walked away.Jayson returned to his hotel room lost in thought. He was determined to make a big impact after his second coming, but he felt like his progress was too slow. He decided that his first step should be to get the general manager who had made the juice factory successful in his former life on board with his plans. With his bodyguard Jao, Jayson hailed a taxi and headed to the company gate. As they stepped inside the building, they unexpectedly ran into one of Elena's friends. Jayson couldn't help but roll his eyes; he didn't care for any of Elena's friends, whom he viewed as narrow-minded witches. Trying to avoid her, he looked away,
Jayson stood before the gateman who stared intently at his face. The longer the gateman looked, the more he felt a sense of familiarity towards Jayson. Suddenly, his face twitched, and he exclaimed in shock, "Jayson!" Jayson grinned and chuckled, "Hehe!" before affirming, "Flesh and blood." The gateman's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger. He couldn't believe he had stooped so low as to bow to Jayson, who was widely regarded as the trash of the Wilson family. The taste in his mouth was akin to having consumed something thoroughly distasteful. Jayson savored the gateman's amusing facial expressions for a moment before pivoting on his heel and strutting towards the imposing Wilson estate. As Jayson entered the Wilson family mansion, the butler, Kelvin, hurriedly approached him with an excited expression and quick footsteps. "Welcome, young master!" he exclaimed. Jayson was taken aback, realizing that Kelvin didn't recognize him. He ordered the butler in a cold tone,
Old Anderson, the patriarch of the Saint family, was the first to step forward, accompanied by his son, both renowned pillars of Jade City's pugilistic world. They were joined by nearly a hundred cultivators from various families, forming a formidable ring around Jayson.Despite the presence of the Wilson family guardians, Jayson found satisfaction in knowing that none of the aristocratic families' businesses had been spared. "Trashy Jay, there's nowhere for you to run. Surrender to us and spare yourself a slow and painful death," Julius taunted with a smirk. This day had been long awaited since Jayson had thwarted his chance to ascend the immortal world and had taken Ella from him, Jayson became his heart demon and the person he wanted to kill in the world the most."I'll remember you; your death will come first," Jayson replied, his smile unwavering. Julius was taken aback as he gazed at Jayson, who remained remarkably composed despite the fact that all the influential figures of J
Standing at the top of the office building, Jayson sneered, "Is it time for the other families?" before vanishing from sight.Throughout that fateful night, the entirety of the Wilson family's business empire went up in flames, with warehouses and factories alike reduced to ashes.The news of this catastrophic event dominated headlines, seizing the front pages of newspapers and flooding the airwaves, as live updates of the widespread devastation were broadcast on television.Observing the news coverage, Mrs. Wilson felt no sympathy for her estranged relatives. They had long ago cast her and her family aside when they divided the family's wealth among themselves."Mom, this is terrible; all our family's businesses are gone," Elena remarked, her face drained of colour.Seething with anger, Mrs. Wilson retorted, "What do you mean 'our family business'? The Wilson family's enterprises have nothing to do with us after they divided the family assets and refused to share even a fraction with
Jayson observed with anticipation as the lawyer revealed the outcome of the DNA test. "Based on the evidence presented, it is clear that Gabby Willow is not the biological father of Peter."A slight twitch at the corner of Jayson's lips betrayed his lack of surprise at the revelation. He had suspected that Elena might manipulate the DNA test, knowing all too well the lengths to which she would go to deny Gabby Willow any claim to fatherhood."Nonsense! I refuse to believe it! Peter is my son, and this DNA result is a sham! I won't accept it!" Gabby Willow's voice thundered through the courtroom, his rage palpable."Silence!" the judge commanded as Gabby Willow struggled to contain his fury, wanting to lunge forward but held back by others in the room. The judge proceeded to deliver the final verdict.As the court proceedings came to a close, a look of shock and disbelief washed over Gabby Willow's face. It felt as if he were trapped in a nightmare from which he desperately wished to a
Old Wade stood to the side as Gilbert tried to contact other family members and grandchildren. Unfortunately, they were all magically unreachable or had their phones turned off."Old man, it seems I've wasted enough time on you two; I should be getting rid of you now," the gang boss said, pointing his gun at Old Wade and edging his finger toward the trigger."I'll give you 1% of my shares in the company," Old Wade suddenly offered.The gang boss's expression soured as he scoffed, "1%? Do you think I'm a fool?""3%," Old Wade blurted out in a flustered manner, his fear of death evident."Not bad, old man; you're good at handling a crisis," the gang boss remarked before standing up and leaving the father and son locked in the room.Looking at his father, Gilbert said unhappily, "Dad, you shouldn't have given him 3% of the company shares. Now we're left with only 15%, and our monthly dividends will decrease by 3%."Old Wade let out a disdainful huff and snorted. "Why should I continue to
Facing the menacing presence of a notorious killer, the father and son stood frozen, unable to muster the courage to lie. With a tense expression, Old Wade locked eyes with Gilbert before reluctantly admitting, "We intended to purchase the property, but the asking price is simply too steep. Our purpose in coming here was to negotiate a more reasonable sum."The gang boss regarded the duo with a smirk before scoffing, "The Wade family holds an 18% stake in one of the largest group globally, not to mention the wealthiest company in the country. Even for a shareholder with such substantial holdings, fifty million dollars shouldn't pose a significant obstacle, right?"Old Wade's eyes widened in disbelief, while Gilbert's complexion grew noticeably ashen. Old Wade responded with a hint of dissatisfaction, "We were under the impression that you were prepared to offer the property to us for thirty million dollars. Why the sudden increase to fifty million?"The gang boss lounged back in his c
As Gilbert drove them to the meeting location provided by the buyer, Old Wade couldn't contain his frustration. "Who does he think he is, making such an unreasonable demand? When we get there, I'll give him a piece of my mind. What a thief," he grumbled."Dad, please try to stay calm. We don't know who we're dealing with here," Gilbert urged, worried that his father might escalate the situation. They had an ongoing court case with the Wilson family that required a cash settlement, and their company's monthly dividends wouldn't be enough to cover additional troubles."Why are you so afraid? Sometimes I wonder if I'm even your father. When I was your age, I wasn't afraid of trouble; trouble was afraid of me," Old Wade scolded Gilbert relentlessly.Gilbert remained silent and declined to offer any further comments. Instead, he focused all his attention on driving while his father continued to criticize him as they made their way. Upon arrival, Gilbert hastily parked the car in a nearby s
After Jayson left the court, he headed over to Wade's side to check on their progress. When he caught up with the father-and-son duo, they had already been to more than twenty housing agents in the city, all of whom had refused to entertain their request for a house.Old Wade was seething with anger, clenching his teeth in frustration. "All we asked for was refunds for damaged houses, and they've all ganged up against us. Do they think the Wades are easily pushed around?"Gilbert focused on driving, letting out a rueful sigh before turning to his father and asking, "Dad, what should we do now?"Old Wade gritted his teeth and replied, "I don't believe that none of them will sell us a house. We'll keep searching tomorrow. Stop by a place to eat; I'm famished."Gilbert pulled over at an eatery, and they grabbed a quick bite. Once they were finished, they drove to the nearest hotel and booked rooms for the night.The following day, they rose early, had breakfast, and set out to find a hou
After fleeing, Old Wade hailed a taxi and returned to where Gilbert awaited him. Old Wade's expression darkened upon seeing his son. He hadn't anticipated Gilbert's disloyalty in fleeing at the first sign of danger."Gilbert!" Old Wade bellowed, drawing the attention of the lunchtime crowd in the eatery. Gilbert hung his head low as Old Wade stormed over to his table, pointing an accusatory finger."I regret the day you were born. How could you abandon me in a time of need?" Old Wade scolded.Gilbert lifted his gaze. "Dad, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen," he replied.Old Wade made no effort to lower his voice; his outburst disrupted the peaceful atmosphere of the eatery, causing discomfort to the diners. A security guard approached them, saying, "Excuse me, sir, please lower your voice. You're disturbing our patrons with the noise."Old Wade turned to the security guard and bellowed, "Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Wade, a shareholder in the Wade group. How dare a me
Old Wade's eyes snapped open, and he immediately berated Gilbert, "Why didn't you catch me before I fell? I've broken my waist."Beads of sweat formed on Gilbert's brow as he scrambled to apologize, "I am deeply sorry, Father. I promise never to fail to catch you again. I won't make such a mistake in the future."Old Wade fixed Gilbert with a steely glare and retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'next time'? Do you think I enjoy fainting? Don't let this happen again. Find new agent. We can't afford to spend the night out in the open."Gilbert wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised, "Dad, I will contact a new agent."Old Wade huffed in frustration and fell silent. After Gilbert arranged for another agent, they purchased a new house. However, just as they were about to move in, the house collapsed."What's happening?" Old Wade's eyes widened in shock as disbelief etched across his face.If it had happened once, it could have been a mistake, but twice couldn't be attributed to a
