As the thugs gagged the tattooed man and dragged him away, the other men still quaked in fear.

Just then, the ward door burst open and Susan rushed out in a panic, about to call the police. But she froze at the bizarre sight before her.

The arrogant thugs now knelt in a row, heads bloodied from kowtowing. The tattooed man who had assaulted her was nowhere to be seen. Jason appeared unharmed, calm and composed. What on earth happened?

Following her out, James Brown and Mary Martinez also gawked in shock. They had intended to take their daughter back inside, but the foolish girl insisted on dying alongside Jason if need be. This was clearly not what they had expected.

"Jason, are...are you alright?" Susan grabbed his hand anxiously.

Jason just smiled. "Were you worried about me? I told you to trust me, no problem. The misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Susan and Mary Martinez stared in bewilderment. Did this look like a mere misunderstan

    Susan was exasperated but helpless about her mother. Still, giving her the money would just lead to more wasteful spending and losing it all again. A real headache.Just then, Jason coldly remarked, "If you're so set on dying, Aaron and his men haven't gone far. Take your pick of deaths, it can be easily arranged.""Who do you think you are, daring to lecture me? You're nothing! The world's gone mad, someone like you has no right! If there's no money today, I'll die right here!" Mary Martinez screeched.Susan frowned. "I can give you money, but first explain what happened to my house savings. What investment company was it?" That was three years of hard-earned savings towards a home, she couldn't just let it disappear unexplained.But Mary Martinez hemmed and hawed evasively, "They cheated me, refused to return the money despite having it. Reneged shamelessly. I put it there for higher interest, who knew they'd deny it later..." "Even the contract was taken from me...I didn't dare

    Jason could hardly stand to watch anymore. Such open brutality in broad daylight? Auspicious Property seemed depraved indeed, true thugs.Brazenly beating those demanding repayment? Flouting law and justice so blatantly?"Stop!" Jason shouted.Everyone froze.The manager sized Jason up contemptuously. "Kid, who the hell are you? Mind your own business and scram!""I'm here on business with Mr. Thompson. What, I'm not welcome?" Jason glanced at him coolly."Business?" Manager Garcia started, looking skeptical. But seeing the BMW i8 behind Jason, he quickly fawned obsequiously, "Oh, forgive my ignorance! You must be Brian Gray, Mr. Gray here for a contract meeting! Please accept my apologies!" "Brian Gray?" Jason arched a brow, smiling amusedly. "Indeed, Gray is my surname. Take me to Mr. Thompson, we have matters to discuss.""Of course, we've been expecting you sir! This way please." Manager Garcia bowed and scraped fawningly.But as Jason moved to enter, a woman in her fifties sudd

    They laughed uncontrollably. That arrogant attitude clearly showed utter disbelief. Daniel Smith? This loser knows Mr. Smith? Ridiculous!Even if he really knew Daniel Smith, with Auspicious Property's strength, they might not beat him but could certainly protect themselves. Among Emerald City real estate firms, they were top-tier.But Jason remained aloof as ever, even murmuring calmly, "Laugh while you can. I'll leave you with this - those whom Heaven would destroy, it first makes mad."Just then, Paul Thompson's phone seemed to explode as endless messages flooded in, with urgent calls blasting through."What...what's happening?" Paul Thompson was greatly shocked and hurriedly took a finance call."Mr. Thompson, we're in trouble! A massive capital trap, just lost $70-80 million! Stocks crashing, it's a disaster we can't contain!" The finance manager sounded panicked and frightened."What? Impossible! Keep it together!" Paul Thompson bellowed.But just then, the construction foreman

    Jason also got the contract from Mary Martinez. The rest was for Macro Vision Group to handle.When he walked to the sales office downstairs, the woman who had desperately pleaded for his help earlier looked at him with gratitude, tears flowing uncontrollably. Her lips mouthed "Thank you!"Jason gave a faint smile and nodded gently, then drove off into the wind amidst cheers of jubilation and money distribution, merging into the eternal sky and earth. It was somewhat ethereal, like a hermit leaving behind fame and fortune.But when he returned home, Mary Martinez scoffed at him, "Back so soon? You probably didn't even get through the door. Useless as expected."She had accomplished nothing after making a fuss for so long, yet Jason came and went in under half an hour. What good could he possibly do?Susan was a bit disappointed but said nothing. The outcome was foreseeable anyway. Oh well, back to square one.Mary Martinez sneered, "I never expected a useless nobody like you to accom

    The night passed without event.The following day, Susan went to work alone, but she had arranged to meet Jason early to see the surprise.Upon entering the company, however, the atmosphere seemed amiss. A cluster of female colleagues were buzzing excitedly, their cheeks flushed with excitement as they huddled over their phones, whispering fervently."What's gotten into everyone today? Why the commotion?" Susan wondered aloud with a puzzled expression.The secretary, unable to contain her excitement, blurted out, "Haven't you heard, Madam Chairman? The heartthrob Eric Scott is in Emerald City! He's absolutely dreamy.""Eric Scott? The celebrity?" Susan paused, then it clicked— the same star who had been all over the recent news, overshadowing even the bankruptcy buzz surrounding Auspicious Property Company. His fame was undeniable.Yet, she had little interest in men who were all style and no substance; she much preferred the genuine comfort Jason provided."By the way, how are those

    Meanwhile, Jason had just received the keys to the villa. Knowing how hard Susan had worked to secure a home, he imagined her delight in realizing her dream. He wondered what her reaction would be.But at that moment, Susan had arrived at Eric Scott's hotel, her heart in turmoil with nerves. Facing the Sanchez family as her competition, she had no guarantee of success."Miss Susan? I've been waiting for you. Please, follow me," a man with the air of an agent greeted her with a smile. However, unnoticed by anyone, his eyes betrayed his admiration for the stunning woman before him, her figure exquisitely outlined by a form-fitting dress, her face innocent, and her demeanor gentle, stirring an instant attraction.Taken aback by the attention, Susan replied respectfully, "Thank you, sir. But I was under the impression we were here to negotiate. Why meet in a hotel?"With a flicker of something in his eyes, the agent hastily explained with a reassuring smile, "You understand how celebritie

    Once he had something to hold over Susan, all those titles – Chairman, Project Manager – they'd all be ousted!The elder wouldn't tolerate a woman who tarnished the family name, and Jason, that waste of space, would surely be kicked out along with her.Then, the fruits of victory would be his!Amidst his smug satisfaction, Eric Scott and Susan began negotiations. After hearing the Brown family's offer, Eric Scott said with a devilish charm, "While the Brown family's offer is decent, it pales in comparison to the Sanchez family's."&n

    But Eric Scott dodged with a vile laugh, his breathing becoming beastly from the drug’s effect. He tore at her blouse, his eyes alight with greed, "Miss Susan, just give in to me.""Forgot to mention—there's no antidote for this aphrodisiac. The only cure is to find a man and lose yourself in passion.""In your dreams!" Susan stumbled, her body ablaze with fever, throwing anything she could grab, now cornered. Tears mixed with anger, she cried out, "Even in death, I won't succumb to a vile man like you!"But as she spoke, Eric Scott lunged again, laughing maniacally. Susan's footing gave

    "Thud! Thud! Thud!"A series of dull impacts resounded through the room, accompanied by cries of pain. Bodyguards were sent flying with single slaps or kicked into walls, the scene utter chaos.In moments, over a dozen guards lay incapacitated. Even Bennett found himself on the receiving end of a devastating punch to the chest, sent flying as he coughed up blood."Who... who are you? It's impossible... How can someone so young possess such formidable skills? Cough... ugh..." Bennett struggled to speak through his pain.Jason was undoubtedly the youngest Martial Arts Master he had ever encountered, and easily among the top ten in skill."My name is Jason. I warned you: harm her, and you'd face a gruesome end. The Murphy family will pay dearly for this transgression." Jason's cold voice accompanied his methodical approach.He made no move to pursue Henry Murphy. There was no need—the man couldn't truly escape. Even if he fled Central Area, Jason could drag him back."Jason? Jackson! You

    Jason, his face a mask of cold fury, tightened his grip on Henry Murphy's throat. He addressed Bennett, "The tables have turned. Your choices are simple: mutual destruction or her release. Decide."His grip tightened further, nearly crushing Henry Murphy's windpipe. The young heir's face turned an alarming shade of purple as he struggled for air."Quickly... cough cough... save... save me..." Henry Murphy choked out desperately.Henry Murphy never anticipated falling into such a trap. He had dismissed Jason entirely, viewing him as nothing more than a notorious weakling. Who could have foreseen that he was actually a formidable opponent?A grave miscalculation indeed.This young man was far from ordinary.Alas, this realization came too late. Two powerful fingers now threatened to crush his windpipe at any moment."Stop... stop this, you scoundrel! If you dare harm our young master, the Murphy family will annihilate your entire Brown family. You'll all perish!" Bennett roared in threa

    Her venomous words dripped with contempt, a stark contrast to her recent pleas for mercy. It was Jason who had shown her kindness then, advising her to disappear. Clearly, his words had fallen on deaf ears.Perhaps the allure of wealth and status proved too strong to resist.Henry Murphy, disdaining further dialogue, fixed Jason with an intense gaze. "I hear you possess jade pendants of a particular hue. Moreover, you seem to understand their significance and have been collecting them. Excellent. Hand them all over to me.""Such high-grade Mystical Objects are beyond the likes of you. Cooperate, and if I'm feeling generous, I might spare your miserable life.""Jade pendants?" Jason's pupils constricted as he suddenly turned his piercing gaze towards Ashley, murderous intent radiating from him."It was you. You told him!"The revelation stunned him. This wretched woman had not only betrayed his kindness but had also sold him out.Ashley's knowledge of the jade pendants was no surprise

    "Cough... cough!"Susan coughed with difficulty as the gag fell away. She gazed at the frenzied, sharp-tongued Ashley, shaking her head with a complex expression. "You're mistaken. I've never tried to compete with you. This is all in your imagination.""Besides, no matter how envious you are, it shouldn't drive you to such extremes. Do you truly harbor such hatred towards me?"Had Ashley not confessed, Susan might never have imagined that envy could transform someone so drastically, leading them down this irredeemable path of ruthlessness."Hmph, spare me your false sympathy. In my eyes, you're nothing but a contemptible wretch. If I hadn't caught you, would you be uttering these words so meekly? You're probably gloating inside!""Let me tell you this: you'll never rise above me again. You belong beneath my feet, nothing more than a lowly creature!"Ashley sneered through gritted teeth.As she raised her hand to strike again, another resounding slap echoed through the room. However, t

    Jason's face turned frosty, his teeth clenched as he spoke, "I swear, if you harm a single hair on her head, I will annihilate your entire lineage. No matter who you are or what your status might be, do not underestimate my capabilities or my resolve.""State your demands clearly. Whatever you want, I'll provide. But if you provoke me... you will regret it immensely."He spoke while barely containing his fury, utterly shocked by this turn of events. With the enemy holding the upper hand, he rapidly tried to deduce their identity.The voice was vaguely familiar, but not entirely recognizable. Who would dare to be so bold?Lotus Thirteen? Or had Justin Wesley arrived in Emerald City to make his move? No, it seemed too soon; he hadn't fully inherited the Wesley family yet.But if not them, then who? Matt Turner or Gerald White? He had certainly made quite a few enemies recently."Heh, such big words, Mr. Gray. Why don't we continue this conversation when you arrive? The last hotel on Sea

    No matter how Mary Martinez explained or pleaded, it had no effect. The old lady simply ignored her.It was as if she was saying, "Just wait and see in three days!"Aunt Diaz was alarmed. If the old lady were to cause such a commotion, what would become of Susan and Mary Martinez's reputations?Soon after, James Brown returned home with Susan. Upon hearing about the $100,000 allowance demand, they were stunned. Good heavens, they knew the old lady would be trouble."What... what should we do? Try to talk her out of it, or send her back home. If she keeps carrying on like this, we won't be able to live here anymore," James Brown said, rubbing his temples."Easy for you to say. Why don't you do it? I promise I'll support you, but I don't want to be labeled as unfilial," Mary Martinez retorted, her lips twisted in a grimace. She had already talked herself hoarse trying to reason with her mother.Seeing the situation, Jason furrowed his brow. If Susan was in a difficult position, he could

    "What do you understand? Listen carefully: from now on, whenever you see Gray divine physician, you must show the utmost respect. Never offend him, or even the Parker family won't be able to protect you!" Leonard Wood warned her gravely.Stephanie Parker, thoroughly frightened, nodded repeatedly...Meanwhile, Jason had returned home, where Old Mrs. Martinez was inevitably causing a scene again, making everyone uncomfortable. However, given her status, no one could say anything."A good-for-nothing loafer who's busier than my granddaughter. What's going on? Is everyone avoiding me? Do you all want this old woman to live out her days in loneliness?" Old Mrs. Martinez's voice dripped with sarcasm.Jason and Grace Diaz could only sigh inwardly as they served her tea, cut fruit, and attended to her every whim to avoid further complaints."Mom, what are you saying? I'm here to keep you company, aren't I? We don't need to pay any attention to that useless fellow. Out of sight, out of mind -

    Stephanie Parker and the onlookers were struck dumb, their eyes wide and jaws hitting the floor in sheer disbelief.This seemingly ordinary individual had managed to make Uncle Wood bow his head. What was going on? What kind of background did he have? What was his story? Had the world gone mad?Even Kelly Harris, who knew of Jason's exceptional medical skills, was left speechless at the sight before her. She gaped at the nonchalant Jason, unable to comprehend the scale of his influence that commanded the reverence of hundreds.While others might not grasp the full significance, as a medical student, Kelly understood perfectly. These were the cream of the crop in the medical field, each capable of being the crown jewel of any major hospital.One person alone could sustain an entire hospital!Over a hundred such individuals - can you imagine the impact? It was as if half the medical world was trembling before him!"This... this..."As everyone stood in shock, Jason turned to Roger Cox,

    "As if! You can't even get in yourself, and you have the audacity to make such an offer? Have you no shame?" Kelly Harris rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced.But Stephanie Parker just smirked. "Clearly, you don't know me well enough. My family, the Parkers, are part of the Medical Family. If I choose to reveal my identity, getting in there would be as easy as strolling through my own backyard. Many of the medical geniuses in there even know me personally.""Do you think this Chinese Medicine Conference could keep me out now? Well, do you believe me now?" she boasted.She had never revealed this information before. Even her admirers and followers were unaware of her prestigious background."You're from the Medical Family?" Jason was surprised, not expecting to encounter two members in one day.Kelly Harris was even more shocked. This was the first time she had heard about this. She never imagined that her insufferable rival was from such an esteemed background. No wonder Stephanie ha
