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

    At his words, Steven Martin and the others quickly inspected, finding these subtle details were all accurate.He really was Benjamin Howard!Yet Benjamin himself was scared out of his wits, how could he know these things? Not only completely correct but with details even he was unaware of. He thought no one knew of his existence, yet now there were so many holes. Those closest might not notice but Jason found them so quickly.Besides Heavenly Net's Heavenly Eye, none other in the world!Benjamin was truly frightened. Just who was this man to command Heavenly Eye's actions?Too terrifying!Jason nodded at this time, finally confirming the man's identity. Retracting his foot, he raised a brow. "Tell me, who sent you here?"For Benjamin Howard to come to Emerald City, first capturing Steven Martin then the Krav Maga Gym, he must have received advance notice to be so accurate. Were he any weaker, he might have already fallen for a scheme. Under their scrutiny, Benjamin Howard did not d

    Soon, Heavenly Eye sent back some news. There did seem to be some connection between Joseph Rogers and the Black Lotus Sect, tied to the turmoil from five years ago. Jason immediately thought of Lawrence, and that Evil Doctor, the shameless renegade of the traditional medicine community! He had wondered about this issue before. Joseph Rogers betrayed Lawrence, and the Sanchez family moved to destroy him. But where did this mysterious Evil Doctor come from? He was no ordinary man. But it made sense if he was from the Black Lotus Sect.Perhaps that Evil Doctor was one of them, helping establish Joseph Rogers' domination of Emerald City!Another piece of news surprised Jason somewhat. His eldest brother Justin Wesley had apparently found a bone marrow donor, a tightly guarded secret that had still been discovered. Preparations were underway for a transplant surgery.Still clinging to life? But even if the transplant succeeded, his strange illness could apparently not be completely cu

    "You..." Mary Martinez glared furiously. How dare this useless trash threaten her? Damn it all, damn it all!No matter how Jason changed or got rich, in Mary Martinez's eyes, he would always be that useless loser, to come and go at her bidding, with the entire family obeying her every command!Though frightened, she still sneered coldly, "This is my house. The only one getting thrown out is you...don't think you can scare me!"But just then, Grace Diaz returned. Her face was ghostly pale, eyes red as if she had just cried, yet she still walked steadily before them."You thieving wretch, daring to return? Did someone plead for you, so you're back to play the victim? Let me tell you, no one's begging for you today. Give back the money and gem, all of it!""And I'll expose you too. No family will dare hire you as a nanny again. You can forget this profession, and any other!" Mary Martinez jabbed her finger at Grace Diaz, cursing wildly. James Brown was also surprised. This nanny actua

    The next moment, Mary Martinez rushed up to her as if terribly wronged, weeping and railing, cursing Jason and Grace Diaz, exaggerating and smearing them. She seemed unable to go on living. But Susan was used to this and only believed a fraction of her mother's words. She then asked Jason what happened. After hearing the full story, Susan's expression shifted. The lost money didn't matter, but that necklace could not be lost again. It was Jason's gift to her, more precious than anything.Seeing Grace Diaz's guilt and self-reproach, Susan quickly consoled, "Aunt Diaz, this isn't your fault. I believe you're innocent." She then helplessly told her mother, "Mom, take out the stuff. Stop this nonsense. I never had Aunt Diaz deliver money, and only we few know the password. If you needed money, why didn't you just tell me? Why do this?"Her first reaction was also that this was her mother's doing, since she pulled this so often. But at these words, Mary Martinez actually trembled in

    The Emily before her would only act this way after doing something wrong. Could it not be a misunderstanding? Could it really be...true!"Sorry, Susan... Please forgive us!"Jason was dumbfounded. Forgive? Sorry? What was going on here? He was only getting more confused by her words. This could have been explained in a sentence. No, something was fishy. Did Emily have reservations?He frowned, glancing around. To his shock, there was someone behind Emily - Peter Cook, currently glowering at him."This is..." Seeing this, Susan's expression also turned ugly. Her face changing, she asked, "Emily, what...what exactly are you trying to say? Why apologize to me? Is it a misunderstanding, or...""Susan, stop asking. This is all my fault. I won't disturb you two. I only hope you won't blame Jason. You must wait for me to return, you have to believe me.""Remember, don't blame him. You must believe me!" Emily said with brimming eyes before hurriedly leaving.Hearing this, Susan's pretty fa

    He could see Jason's BJJ already had attainments. He was undoubtedly a genius among martial practitioners. Just then, a disdainful snort sounded. "What crappy BJJ, just some old geezers prancing around uselessly. All show and no substance. Boasting about beating three or four people, really vain.""No need for three or four men, my one fist could send you scurrying for your teeth. Some major sect, hah! Boy, becoming his disciple is still worse than joining my Northern Faction. I could have you beat over ten men alone, easy!""Oh? Northern Faction?"Jason looked up to see a bare-armed man swaggering towards them contemptuously. His arms were powerful and muscular, clearly marking him as a martial arts expert. A Northern Faction member? Yet another one from the Northern Faction. It seemed Benjamin Howard was right after all. They had come, albeit separately instead of together.But the old man in white exercise clothes had turned ashen, shocked and furious as he demanded, "You arroga

    "Damned worthless soft style still thinks it can beat me? Keep dreaming!" Jeremy raged, exceedingly frustrated. How was he still fighting an old geezer for so long?Jason made a soft sound of approval. There was hope; Jeremy's mind was in disarray. If this continued, Stewart would surely prevail.Indeed, looks could be deceiving! No wonder Steel had praised this man.The more Jeremy fought, the more stifled he felt, miserable beyond belief. Each punch seemed to strike cotton, dissolved by the old man. Surrounding spectators laughed and jeered, shaming him further.That a big strong youth like him still couldn't beat an old man was humiliating beyond endurance. "Damn you, you forced me to this." Jeremy's eyes turned icy cold. Seizing an opening, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind, slicing Stewart's wrist as he attacked."What? Argh...despicable, shameless! How can you ambush with a weapon during a martial arts exchange?" Stewart raged.But Jeremy pressed his advantage relentl

    "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

  • Chapter 376: Susan in Peril

    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
