"Rejected? Why? I heard yesterday that Natalie had passed the minimum score for Emerald City Middle School, and was even top of her class. Aren't those grades pretty good?" Jason frowned in puzzlement.

Although Natalie had not attended school much, she had been homeschooled all this time. Her grades were full marks in every subject, which had left him dumbfounded at the time. She was a genius.

Logically, the school should be clamoring to admit her. Emerald City Middle School wouldn't be so foolish, would they?

But Lawrence said angrily, "That principal is deliberately antagonizing me, refusing to let Natalie enroll no matter what. One moment he asks for certifications, the next he wants documents, toying me like a monkey."

"If I hadn't promised Natalie not to resort to violence easily, I would've punched that fatso long ago."

Seeing his furious state, Jason pondered for a moment before saying, "Take me to see what's going on. This is Natalie's dream after all, we have to at least try

    Jason was taken aback, both alarmed and delighted that Timothy Harris was also here. He felt somewhat awkward, since Kelly Harris had been pursuing him all this time. He didn't know how to break the ice. Hopefully the girl had seen the error of her ways by now. But before he could speak, Mr. Flores looked confused instead, quite surprised as he said, "You know each other? How come I'm not aware of this?"He and Timothy Harris were close friends, confiding everything in each other on a daily basis. Not many people could elicit this kind of attitude from Timothy Harris. One must know, the Harris family was no ordinary elite family!But Timothy Harris boasted proudly, "Jason is quite capable, I'll tell you about it later. For now, let's put Ward down first, don't strangle him to death."Hearing this, Jason promptly nodded at Lawrence. Although the latter was still resentful, he tossed Principal Ward to the ground. Ward coughed violently in excruciating pain."Humph, consider yourself

    "Good ol' Ward, even now you still dare quibble and struggle. I see no need for you to continue as principal. The middle school next door happens to need someone to sweep the grounds. I'll put you in charge starting today. Go repent!" David Flores scoffed angrily.Ignoring Ward's screams and wails, he personally went forward to gather the shredded papers and pieced them back together. Checking, he found the qualifications were indeed sufficient.Thus, under Lawrence's anticipation, David Flores sincerely apologized, "My friend, I misunderstood you. It's our oversight too. I'll personally handle your daughter's admission. On behalf of Emerald City Middle School, I welcome her."Upon hearing this, it was like a huge weight lifted from Lawrence's heart. He was extremely excited, it was finally accomplished. Jason also smiled and nodded. He had promised Natalie back then too. Now that Mr. Flores was handling the paperwork, there would be no issues. As long as Natalie's leg recovered, sh

    "Jason? You've grown a leopard's guts now huh? How dare you kick over my foot washing water, the world is upside down now, no more rule of law!" Mary Martinez leapt up, screaming and throwing a tantrum.This time Jason had truly infuriated her. He actually dared kick her foot washing water, this useless man was trying to rebel!Hearing this, Grace Diaz panicked. It was because of her after all. She quickly advised, "It's all my fault, don't be angry. I'll go clean it up right away and change the water."But Jason stopped her and reassured, "Don't worry Auntie Diaz, it's not your fault at all. Some people want to take liberties, this is the consequence, can't indulge them."Usually he didn't want to contend on the same level as Mary Martinez, only enduring out of consideration for Susan's face. But now she still wanted to run wild over him, that was impossible. Moreover, Kyle was like a brother to him, how could he watch Kyle's mother be humiliated?Besides, what housekeeper washed the

    At the same time, inside the conference hall, the traditional Chinese medicine - Western medicine exchange meeting had already begun. Dean Butler, Dennis Campbell, Jerry Parker, Roger Cox, Stephen Wright, Samuel and others were present. With a sweeping glance, Jason noticed a group of doctors from Metropolis Central looking down on others arrogantly and condescendingly. At this time, Stephen Wright was on stage showcasing the essence of ancient Chinese medicine - acupuncture, inspection, inquiry, palpation, addressing problems from subtle and fundamental levels, bone setting, manipulative techniques, acupuncture and so on. It had to be said, Stephen Wright's knowledge was thorough and his theories perfect. But his practical skills still lacked proficiency, which was also a common problem in Chinese medicine nowadays.Jason listened attentively. If it was up to him, he probably wouldn't be as good as Stephen Wright. But in practical application and innate talent, Jason was streets

    Just as everyone was worried, Stephen Wright snorted coldly, "Say it, how do you want to compete? I'll definitely make you arrogant fools witness my capabilities!"Hearing this, George and Madonna below couldn't help but sneer disdainfully. This foolish idiot, soon you'll know Jack's prowess. Jack raised an eyebrow mockingly, "Don't worry, it's very simple. Today at Emerald City Hospital we saw some strange patients, quite severely ill. Whoever can cure them, whose medical techniques are superior, we'll let the public be the judge."As he spoke, a child walked over led by a couple. His complexion seemed swollen, emancipated, listless...Seeing this, not to mention Stephen Wright, even Roger Cox and Dean Butler couldn't help but frown. The first case was actually pediatrics, the most headache-inducing illness.It wasn't that pediatric illnesses were particularly difficult to treat, but that children usually couldn't describe clearly or comprehend, leaving no clues on how to proceed.

    Looking at the dispirited Stephen Wright, Jack couldn't help but taunt, "You will always be my stepping stone. You can't even compare to me in Chinese medicine, what more Western medicine? Go back and learn for a few more years. You... lost!""Don't forget our wager just now!""You..."Roger Cox was seething with rage.At this, Stephen Wright collapsed limply to the ground, as if having committed a grave mistake. His face was pale, lips stammering. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't spit it out. How could he possibly insult their ancestors and defile their predecessors?That was something he didn't even dare think about on normal days!But he lost, and lost thoroughly at that. This resounding slap to the face left him at a complete loss on what to do.But just as he was in anguish, a familiar, gentle voice rang out, "Hold on, the competition isn't over yet!""Grandmaster?"Seeing the sudden appearance of a savior, Stephen Wright immediately burst into tears of excitement on

    "Hurry up and admit defeat, black-hearted medicine..."Everyone mocked and ridiculed in waves.Stephen Wright, Roger Cox and the others were also overjoyed. Did this mean they won? The reversal was too quick."Hahaha, I won, I won! Jack you bastard, don't forget our daring wager. A bet is a bet, coward!" Stephen Wright yelled ecstatically. In that instant, the entire conference hall went nuts, like a dam bursting after being suppressed for too long, laughter bursting out.Seeing the overwhelming ridicule, Jack's face turned deathly pale. Gritting his teeth unwillingly, he actually roared loudly, "I haven't lost yet! Dare to bet with me again? Compete one more time, whoever loses will be at the winner's mercy!" Jason was surprised to see him pointing at himself. He looked at Jack quizzically, "You... really want to compete with me?"Stephen Wright, Roger Cox and the others were speechless. This guy was desperately going all out? Insane, truly insane, actually daring to challenge the

Jack was furious beyond control, really hating Jason's attitude.It was as if everything was under his control, like an overlord, while Jack himself was just a jumping clown, laughable. Anyone would likely feel furious!Especially in his proudest field!But just then, the seemingly stabilized female patient suddenly frowned in discomfort, frantically scratching at the uncomfortable helmet in madness. She ripped the helmet off and smashed it!Jack was dumbfounded, screaming, "How... how is this possible? My medicine clearly has no issues, it worked many times before! How... how could it still fail?""No, I don't believe it. I don't believe it! You must have sabotaged this, bastard! What on earth did you do?" Jack roared as he charged forward to interrogate.But Roger Cox and Stephen Wright immediately blocked his way, coldly harrumphing, "There's clearly an issue. What do you mean impossible? Da

    "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.

    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
