Hearing this, Susan just gave him an indecipherable glance without responding. It made Jason very anxious. He couldn't let her misunderstand at a time like this!

Soon they arrived at the company. Surprisingly, Emily was there waiting for Susan, looking strikingly gorgeous.

"Oh? You two seem off. Still not reconciled? You jerk, you must've bullied our Susan again!" Emily scolded with fists on her hips.

Jason smiled wryly. He doted on Susan endlessly. But Susan's face reddened as she complained, "Alright, you go back first. Emily and I have things to discuss."

Jason nodded. He still had to treat Natalie, twice a day for fastest recovery.

Unless Lawrence saw hope, he wouldn't fully cooperate. A former overlord had his pride. That he was willing to bow his head already showed compromise.

After he left, Emily burst into laughter upon hearing about the morning's events, giggling uncontrollably. "Our great beauty was actually challenged by a schoolgirl? Haha, too funny!"

Susan glared at he

    Hearing this, the sultry woman snorted in disdain, "Stop pretending to be pitiful. If you have no money, then letting me slap your face ten times will settle this matter. That's already merciful of me. If my boyfriend were here, ten slaps would be getting off easy!""I..." Kyle's mother paled, biting her lip hard, before acquiescing with great difficulty, "I...agree..."She had no choice. Though it was humiliating, she had to accept this shame! Seeing her consent, the sultry woman's mouth curled into a mocking sneer. What a fool, just as she raised her hand to deliver a stinging slap, a figure suddenly intervened, dropping his keys."Who dares to knock my BMW keys? Do you know how expensive they are? Can you afford to replace them if they're damaged?" Jason scoffed coldly."W-what?" Both women were stunned.Kyle's mother did a double take. This man seemed familiar. Suddenly it dawned on her - he was the medic saint who had saved her son!The sultry woman was shocked and furious. "You

    His abilities, strength, skills were unmatched. Although the Sanchez family had destroyed him, Bruce Griffin knew clearly that Lawrence would never be easily defeated. His 5 years in hiding must be due to certain reasons.Despite his self-deprecating calm surface, Lawrence still possessed utter arrogance deep down. Not even the mighty Sanchez family could make him bow, so how could he willingly bow to Jason?Unless Jason was stronger than the Sanchez family, so overwhelmingly strong that even Lawrence's pride couldn't resist. But how strong would that be? Unimaginable. This was definitely someone he absolutely could not afford to offend!Thinking of this, Bruce Griffin shuddered in fright. With a thud, he fell to his knees, trembling as he begged Jason, "Boss, spare me! I was blind to actually defy you? Please give me another chance!""Mr. Griffin? Have...have you gone mad? How can you kneel to a country bumpkin? Can they be more powerful than Mr. Rogers? Don't forget, he's your swor

    "Jonathan Henderson's background is clearly the Sanchez family. I can't think of another possibility!"Hearing this, Lawrence nodded. He too had heard of the arena's acquisition but couldn't help asking skeptically, "You're not going to make a move? The arena was a money maker. Giving up means wasting effort for nothing?""No hurry. The good show's just starting. The Sanchez family does have some foundation, no need to clash directly yet." Jason said meaningfully.At this time, Bruce Griffin had already left Emerald City with his woman. Although not very capable, his instincts were relatively accurate. Lawrence's sudden reappearance after 5 years of silence, plus the unfathomable Boss - all signaled impending chaos. The winds over Emerald City were shifting. This time, the storm would likely be...far bigger than the one 5 years ago!With warlords rising, who would claim the stag in the end?When Natalie saw the car full of brand new, beautiful shoes, she wept with joy, deeply moved.

    At her words, everyone looked at each other oddly, hesitantly raising over half their hands."How...how can this be?" Emily exclaimed. She urgently asked a director, "Didn't you denounce her earlier? How can you support her now?""Cough...I did denounce her but for the overall company's interests...Margaret is still more suitable." The director mumbled a vague excuse before hurrying away.Many of them had been bought out by Robert Brown or were being blackmailed, so they had to side with him. Plus, Brown family's future would be in Robert Brown's hands. Seeing this, Robert Brown's mouth curled smugly like a victor. "Susan, the result is out - over half. No need to continue right?"Margaret Brown was also breathing rapidly, extremely excited, as if she could immediately soar to fame and marry into the Sanchez family."Susan, they're...they're cheating! You can't agree to them!" Emily panicked. How could this be allowed?But under the crowd's gaze, Susan bit her lip and said complicate

    "Also, who dares to randomly enter my office? Let ambitious beasts try, even Susan the Chairman has to obediently wait outside while I finish!" "How do you think Billy Sanchez would react if he knew you were played with by me after you marry him?"Hearing this, Margaret Brown's expression changed drastically. She was shocked and angry. "You're insane? Only we can know this. If you dare spread it, I'll drag you down with me. I, Margaret Brown, must become the woman of a prominent family!""Also, don't think that after sleeping with me I'm your woman. We're at most lovers, a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. After success...mmm..."Before Margaret finished speaking, her face was flushed red, with a salty pig's hand wandering, making her heart itch."If Grandpa finds out about this, what would happen? I always feel so scared."Hearing this, Robert Brown actually sneered, "What's there to fear about that old undying fogey? He might drop dead any day. The whole Brown family wi

    Although he had no interest in the Brown family business, with Big Brother out of favor now, it was his chance. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to retrieve all the shares of Runhe Medicine Company back. He was ready for a comeback.Seeing this, Susan was greatly alarmed, hurriedly saying, "Wait, she's my friend, and the chief designer I invited. Don't worry, she will definitely keep it secret.""Hmph, never judge a book by its cover. Who knows if this cheap woman will spread rumors? I say we should make her unable to speak forever...for the best." Raymond Brown scoffed, a murderous glint in his eyes. Clearly he had crooked intentions.But Jason raised a brow, a thought in his mind. If they knew Emily's true identity, they would regret it even if they died. How dare they still spout such suicidal words?She was the cherished daughter of the Cook family!But just as it was chaotic and disorderly, Old Brown's blood pressure rose even higher. He impatiently ordered, "Enough! Do you

    Looking at the sighing girls, Jason shook his head with a smile. He found it funny how complicated people wanted simpler lives, yet simple people found it boring.Perhaps it's because humans are never satisfied with the status quo that leads to constant progress...At the same time, in a peaceful manor, a quirky young girl held up her sparkling chin, spacing out for a while, seemingly having her soul hooked away."What is it? My little princess is lovesick, absentminded the whole afternoon. Can you tell grandpa which talented gentleman has caught your eye?" An old man with white hair laughed.Hearing this, Kelly Harris' face flushed red, as if her secret was poked. She vaguely said, "No...nobody..."But the white-haired Jeffery Harris shook his head with a smile, watering flowers while slowly saying, "You've grown up before me since young. I know what you're thinking, even if your mother doesn't. Can't hide it from me." "Go on, which family's young master is it? If I find him suitabl

    In an instant, they understood. They had arrived so quickly, and demanded money as soon as they came, even making them pay the taxi fare? Coming to their home to freeload, demanding money and fortune, while getting them to reimburse the taxi fare? On what basis?This was too bullying!"Why should we pay your taxi fare? We didn't invite you here." Jason frowned.This was indeed the case. It was just Mary Martinez bragging everywhere, caught by Joe Martinez, not with Mary's consent for them to directly rush over overnight.But at his words, Russell Martinez glared, "You trash dare to talk back? It's only natural for me to visit my aunt's home, none of your business!""No sense at all. Can't even see your own status and worth, not even a dog, yet you dare ask on what basis?"He never looked straight at Jason, only seeing him as a dog in his aunt's home, the lowest and most useless one, worlds apart from him in his eyes.Joe Martinez and Katherine Gonzales also sneered in disdain.

    "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
