And this so-called Reed family was the leader of the upper five, surpassing even the Sanchez and Murphy families in influence and wealth. To think they had shown up seeking vengeance over the old incident at Riches.That had happened so long ago. Of course it was just bluster and bravado then, no doubt Ashley had leaked the truth. That wretch, betraying them after Jason saved her. If not for him, she would've been dragged off to entertain and sleep with those men. Ungrateful and now backstabbing too.Susan was furious, also shocked that Ashley's new lover was from the Reed family. "Ashley, what exactly are you trying to do?"Seeing her angry confusion, Ashley smiled smugly, "It's not what I want, but the Reed family coming to settle scores after you offended them." "This time, who's name will you borrow to bluff again?""You...bitch! If not for you, how would the Reed family have found out? Jason saved you, yet you betrayed us. Have you no conscience or shame?" Susan was outraged.
If Jason was the Crystal Member from Riches Restaurant, there might be a chance. But sadly, that was someone else's identity he stole. He was done for, no one could save him now!Susan was stupefied. It was over, Kenneth Reed was truly enraged now. Was Jason insane to say something so provocative, challenging the entire Reed family?Gritting her teeth, she hurriedly walked over, "Young Master Reed, this is a misunderstanding, don't blame him, he's just spouting nonsense..."But Stephen Wright scoffed coldly. Since his master had spoken, Kenneth Reed was surely doomed. Although he himself was powerless against Kenneth, surely his grandmaster was more than a match?That existence who even the two divine doctors respected! Just revealing his identity would shock the entire summit! But Jason disliked fame and gain. The dean and his master had reminded him, so he wouldn't expose anything. Still, someone like Kenneth Reed was no threat!Seeing Susan's attempts to smooth things over, the c
Ashley's expression kept shifting, gnashing her teeth furiously. This bastard! Why were so many willing to help him? He was useless trash. What right did he have?Gritting her teeth, she whimpered pitifully, "Young Master Reed, maybe...let's forget it?" Hearing this, Kenneth Reed's face turned purple with rage. He felt looked down on by a woman. Furious, he yelled, "Don't get complacent Ronald Butler! I refuse to believe you'll act against me for Jason's sake. The trash will suffer today no matter who comes!"Hearing this, icy killing intent flashed in Jason's eyes!But just then, a dignified, imposing voice scoffed coldly from beside them, "Oh? I'm curious to see which punk is so arrogant. What if it were me instead?"At these words, over a hundred people in the hall reacted, craning their necks to see who would dare speak so arrogantly. Could it be another heir?In all previous Youth Summits, there had never been such a fierce dispute involving four major family heirs over a worth
Kenneth Reed yelled furiously, kicking her aside as he hastily explained himself.But Gary Flores just slowly started smiling, a very happy smile that scared countless people witless. It was over, Mr. Flores was angry!In truth, Gary Flores really did want to laugh this time. Without exposing King's identity, he had no good reason to severely punish Kenneth Reed. He never expected such a perfect excuse to land in his lap. Heaven helps me!But then he suddenly turned to Jason and Susan, saying, "What punishment do you two want for them? Don't be afraid, speak up. I'll uphold justice for you."Of course he was asking for Jason's opinion. "No need, we're...we're fine." Susan didn't want to stir up trouble, also afraid of offending the Reed family.But Jason strongly stated, "One should be repaid in kind!" Hearing this, Gary Flores' eyes lit up. He furiously pointed at Kenneth Reed, "Break his legs! Slap his face swollen! Keep going until he apologizes to these two. The Reed family won
That night, Jason continued sleeping in the living room. Lawrence reported finding some clues and breakthroughs were imminent. Hearing this news, Jason breathed a sigh of relief. Finally there were some leads. Further waiting would have tried his patience. He would have had to send out those former subordinates of his. While capable, their methods tended to be heavy-handed.Like slaying a chicken with an ox cleaver.At the same time, there was news regarding Arthur Howard, the top martial artist in Central Area, the strongest fighter!With his top disciple dead, this master was naturally on the move. By now, he likely had received word, though his exact whereabouts remained unknown. But rumor had it he was headed for Emerald City already!And...in a thunderous rage!Steven Martin, Lawrence, and the others sensed an impending storm, oppressed and lost, with tightness in their chests, as if a terrifying, earth-shattering calamity could befall them any moment.It would be a lie to say
Although only seeing Jason fight a few times, when he was captured earlier, the mysterious figure behind him had struck with the force of thunder, instantly defeating his seven or eight skilled subordinates who took ages just to get back up.He felt if that man wanted to kill, it would take but an instant. All his men would have died.Even as an outsider with limited skills, he was deeply shaken witnessing that scene. Carl Cooper's Arhat's Formless Hand compared was far too lacking. No, there was no comparison at all, like a child versus a martial arts master.Too powerful, no one could match him!Not even ten Seans or Kyles, let alone Mr. Gray who, while strong, was surely no match for this man!But just as he finished speaking, a foot suddenly stomped down on his back, revealing the mysterious figure's true face - Central Area's top expert, Arthur Howard!"It's you, who defeated my disciple Carl Cooper and even secretly killed him." Arthur Howard looked down on all with indifference
Even if paying lip service, they could not truly believe it in their hearts!Because it was simply impossible!Amidst the absurdity, Arthur Howard's breathing grew ragged as he glared at the confident Jason, too angry to even laugh. "You bastard, you actually dare claim to defeat me in one punch? Do you know what you're saying? Do you know who you're talking to?""I am acknowledged as Central Area's top master, the strongest expert. Not just being my match, few even have the qualifications to challenge me. This old man has gone decades undefeated. Yet an arrogant whelp like you dares such insolence?""Good, very good. Today I will kill you and personally shatter every bone in your wretched body, making you suffer agonizingly with no...place to be buried!" Faced with such astonishing killing intent and blazing fury like crushing waves, everyone's breathing hitched.It was as if time itself had frozen in this moment!Yet Jason remained unyielding, facing the tremendous pressure with r
Yet Jason disdained wasting words with him. Directly stomping and smashing the bone in his arm, grinding his slender, delicate fingers. "My patience is limited. Don't make me repeat myself. Answer me, who exactly are you?""No...don't...argghhh!" Arthur Howard let out a miserable shriek, the pain excruciating. The tendons were connected to the heart. This agony was like having his heart ripped out. His entire life of martial arts lay in these hands. If crippled, he would be finished."I...I really don't know what you're saying?"Steven Martin wiped some blood and crawled over, anxiously saying, "Mr. Gray, could you have made a mistake? I've gathered intel on Arthur Howard, this is definitely him! And he knows Arhat's Formless Hand!"Amidst their shock and disbelief, Jason coldly snorted. "You can deceive others but not me. Years ago, Arthur Howard encountered mortal danger. I was the one who saved him." "From that experience, he gained insights and has been in closed-door seclusion
