That evening, Susan and Jason returned home laughing and chatting. Mary Martinez was dumbfounded. What was going on? The two seemed to have reconciled. This wouldn't do!"James, this isn't good. Did that wastrel Jason somehow trick Susan with sweet talk? She looks like she has forgiven him, but this is infidelity. It absolutely cannot be forgiven." Mary Martinez said anxiously. James Brown put down his newspaper and glanced over thoughtfully. "It's probably just a misunderstanding resolved. Susan seems much happier too, so it's a good thing.""Good my ass! I don't care if it was a misunderstanding or not. How can I kick him out if Susan forgives him? He's trying to keep freeloading here, but I absolutely won't tolerate it!" Mary Martinez gnashed her teeth.Just then, she noticed Jason packing up his few belongings, as if preparing to move out. Mary's eyes lit up. Was the wastrel finally getting the hint that he couldn't keep squatting here? James Brown was also surprised. "What are
Hearing this, James Brown perked up, "That's right, I heard some tycoon invested ten billion in your company recently. This manor must be pocket change.""What? Ten billion dollars? You foolish girl, if you had that much why not take it out sooner? Your mom has no money to go out and play. I haven't gotten new jewelry for days. If you don't give me a few hundred million this time, you're no daughter of mine!" Mary's eyes lit up greedily at the mention of money."Enough! I'll say it again, this house has nothing to do with me. Whether I let you stay or not, it's not my call. Don't think making a fuss will work.""Also, the security system here is truly frightening. Just yesterday a vice president of a listed company was kicked out. If Jason doesn't want you here, you won't get in." Susan said, rubbing her temples in headache.There was a saying, honest people feared the shameless. Her reasoning was useless against her mother. This time, she couldn't indulge them - help your principles,
Behind an ill-fitting door in a moss-covered courtyard sat a dilapidated, faded hut, like a slum dwelling, yet full of life and tranquil charm. Jason slowly pushed open the door. To be frank, even he could hardly imagine that Lawrence would be living in such a place. After all, he was once an era's overlord. Even in decline, he should not have sunk to these depths. It seemed there was an intriguing story here."Mr. Gray, it looks like Lawrence isn't here. You don't think he slipped away secretly, do you?" Kyle scanned their surroundings at a glance.Stroking his chin, Jason had just opened his mouth to respond when a tender, childish voice rang out, "Is that you, Daddy?""Hmm? Someone's here?"The three were shocked to discover the hut was indeed inhabited. The next moment, a young girl in a wheelchair appeared before their eyes. Delicate and petite, with eyes like pure black gemstones - as pure as the stars in the night sky - extraordinarily cute, yet confined to a wheelchair."You
"To neglect virtue and intentionally commit evil? This is an utter disgrace to doctors. And judging by the precision and force of the needles, this person's medical skills surpass even mine." The three were taken aback, then drew excited breaths. "Then...there's a way to heal her?""Fight magic with magic. The villain used sealing techniques, so I shall use the same to undo it. For one well-versed in this art like myself, restoring her legs will be no difficulty." Jason spoke lightly.Hearing this, Sean and Kyle were overjoyed. And Natalie was dumbstruck, gazing at her numb legs in disbelief. Trembling, she choked out, "Can I...really stand again? Is this real?"Jason nodded solemnly. "Not just stand. You'll be able to run with no issues. Healing is simple. You'll just need time to get your legs used to moving again. Soon they'll recover fully.""I...I..." Natalie's eyes brimmed with tears, too overcome for words. Even now she felt as though in a dream.Kyle scratched his head. "It
Agonized screams constantly sounded as men tumbled and flew, not even worth one move. Kyle's special forces background provided a solid foundation and immense potential. His military boxing struck quick, clean and decisive.As for Sean, his famed iron fists were legendary. No thug could take a direct hit. They either flew from broken bones or were instantly knocked out cold. Yet Natalie was still just a child. Never having seen such chaos, her face went deathly pale. But Jason remained oblivious, continuously needling. "Mr. Gray..."Zachary's expression darkened. He knew Sean was formidable, but hadn't expected the other to be nearly his match. At this rate his men would all be floored.He had only come for Lawrence. Running into these monsters was unexpected. Returning empty-handed would be unacceptable."Damn it!" Noticing something amiss, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He barked out a cold laugh to Tiger, "Go, grab those two for me. Let's see what they're up to."Tiger was overj
Seeing this, Sean and Kyle joined the fray. Though the punks were nothing special, they were still troublesome. With the three acting together, soon all were flattened and Zachary captured.The imposing Lawrence gripped Zachary's neck fiercely, raging, "I never bothered you people, yet you repeatedly hound me to the death. Think I don't dare kill you?""Crack~"As his grip tightened, Zachary nearly suffocated, eyes rolling back in agony. "No...don't...""Daddy!" At Natalie's cry, the berserk Lawrence came to his senses, considerably calmer. He had forgotten Natalie was watching. He couldn't kill here.Gritting his teeth, he kicked Zachary flying, scoffing coldly, "Go back and tell Joseph Rogers this isn't over between us. Since he's set on hounding me to death, I'll fight him to the bitter end.""Now scram!""Cough...yes...yes..."Zachary coughed harshly, terrified. Nodding frantically, he fled with his minions.But just then, Jason lazily called out, "Hold on, you haven't apologized
"I've hated him for five whole years. Far more than the Sanchez family. How could he harm an innocent child? If we meet again, even if it kills me, I will slaughter him with my own hands!" Lawrence roared furiously, eyes bloodshot.No one could understand - a girl spending five years tortured by illness, burning with fever for over ten days at a time, most of the 365 days in agony.He wished he could take ten times her suffering to alleviate her torment. But all was futile.Jason understood, also gaining insight into the ten giants' might. He mused, "In that case, why not join forces? You just need to reunify Emerald City's underworld, and leave the rest to me.""This will let you stop hiding, gain strength for revenge, give Natalie peace, and keep her from wandering with you. After all, you've lingered in Emerald City precisely waiting for an opportunity, right?"Facing Jason's temptation, Lawrence pondered at length before nodding decisively. "You're right. Only with power can I con
But Jason simply said, "They're your parents and mine. Honoring one's in-laws is only right. As long as they don't cause trouble, it's fine for them to stay.""By the way, are Robert and Margaret still giving you problems? How are things at Brown Group?"Susan paused before answering uneasily, "The company's doing well. It's just the celebrity endorsement deal keeps falling through at the last step." "As for Robert and Margaret, I don't know why but they've been acting strange lately. I can't put my finger on it. Robert suggested I negotiate with Eric Scott last time, which was definitely some scheme. He's up to no good."Hearing this, Jason smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have ways of dealing with Robert and Margaret. I guarantee they won't make trouble for you anymore.""And you don't need a celebrity for endorsements. You already have the perfect candidate right in front of you." "Who, you?" Susan looked doubtful.Jason gave her an amused look and teased, "Yes, you. Don't forget
