But one more look at Jason dissolved all his worries. He couldn't help but sneer derisively, "What's this, not even choosing a stone? Ready to forfeit already?"

"It's not too late to beg for mercy now. But that billion dollar pendant will be mine!" he declared.

Hearing this, old Stewart remained expressionless, while Mr. Flores gnashed his teeth furiously. "Boy, time's almost up! Hurry and go pick a jade rough stone. I'll loan you however much you need!"

But Jason just smiled lightly in response. "Thank you for the kind offer Mr. Flores, but there's no need. I'll just buy this one. I've only got $6.5 left, just enough for it."

As he spoke, he casually pointed toward a fist-sized sightseeing rock by the pond, covered in green moss. It looked as if it had been lying there for ages, clearly garbage among garbage.

The crowd gaped, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Had he gone mad or was he just giving up? Choosing a useless rock like that? Was he deliberately messing with them?

    Even Mr. Flores shook his head. It was over, no more hope. Struggling now was futile! Alexander Brown clutched his stomach, roaring with laughter. "With your piece of trash rock, if you can really cut out anything good, I'll give you my ice jade! How hilarious!""Fine, I'll hold you to that. Master, cut it!" Jason's eyes lit up, as if afraid Alexander Brown would go back on it.But the crowd only laughed even harder. What an idiot! Was there anyone so preposterous in this world?He actually thought he still had hope of winning?The stone cutting master looked impatient. What was there to cut from this piece of junk? But unable to ignore the clamoring, he casually made a slicing motion at one corner.It was to thoroughly crush their hopes. With one slice, the rock corner easily fell away. But in that instant, the venue fell dead silent. The cutter still thought it worthless trash. Without even glancing at it, he held up the refuse and said, "See, this kind of rotten rock, I wouldn

    "You bastard, I won't let you off! Ahhh...ahhh!" Alexander Brown shrieked furiously.But next, the crowd witnessed this spectacle - a streaking pervert being chased lap after lap around the antique market by several security guards, utterly shamed...Mr. Flores finally regained his senses. Unable to resist his curiosity, he asked, "How...how did you know there was imperial jade inside that rock?"Old Stewart was also quite curious, though pleasantly surprised and relieved. Even he had thought it was a guaranteed loss!"Just luck I guess," Jason said with a wry smile.Everyone present was green with envy and hatred. No doubt it had been sheer luck, but this luck was simply outrageous - casually cutting open a random rock to uncover imperial jade. And it had only cost $6.5!The owner of this venue must be writhing in pain in the bathroom, having suffered unprecedented losses!But Mr. Flores felt there was more to it than luck. There had to be skill involved, though Jason clearly didn't

    Seeing his outburst and provocation, Jason's face remained mocking as he slowly held up the agreement in his hand, "Forgot to tell you, just now, your precious son Alexander Brown transferred 3% of his shares to me.""That means you now only have 48% of the shares, while my 3%, plus Susan's temporarily held 49%, is enough to control Runhe Medicine Company and become the majority shareholder. The shareholders meeting has now officially decided to fire you!" "How's that? Was I clear enough? You got your wish, you've been successfully fired!"His words rang out and the office became deathly silent, you could hear a pin drop. The two people were stunned stiff, as if struck by lightning. It wasn't that they lacked composure, but this news was simply too shocking, leaving them dumbfounded. After who knows how long, Raymond actually laughed and sneered, "Interesting, truly interesting. Keep pretending, you almost had me convinced.""Don't you think your little scam is hilarious? Claimin

    "What?"Just then, a commotion and scuffling sounds came from outside. Seven or eight people barged in forcefully."Alexander Brown, you still dare to run! Pay back the money. If we don't see cash today, I'm breaking both your legs." The seven or eight men glared menacingly at Alexander Brown. They were the loan sharks who had lent Alexander the money, a full $6 million. If he still had the carved jadeite, he could naturally pay it back. But now he had nothing, so how could he repay the debt?"Dad, save me! I don't want to spend my life in a wheelchair. Is there any money at home? Quick, give it to them!" Alexander Brown begged in fright, his face pale.Raymond Brown was dumbfounded. What was going on now? He stiffly asked, "How...how much do you owe?"Although panicked, even starting over, he still had some capital left, and had squeezed quite a bit from Susan too. There should be at least over $1 million at home, so he shouldn't be afraid.Besides, Alexander had at most indulged h

    Hearing this set things straight for her. She had been completely misled before. It now seemed they held the advantage while Second Uncle had no power to choose. It wasn't them giving however much Second Uncle asked for, but them deciding how much to give!"Second Uncle, $100 million really isn't appropriate."Raymond Brown despaired, his spirit left him and his strength felt utterly drained. He never imagined that he, once domineering and triumphant outside, would fall to the worthless nobody and Susan he looked down on most in just a few days.Just $60 million had him stumped? Laughable, truly laughable!In despair, his lips turned white as he choked out to Susan with difficulty, "Susan...please, he's my only son. You can't watch him be destroyed by loan sharks. We're family!""Do...do Second Uncle a favor and buy the shares. I'll remember your kindness..."Under the heartfelt plea, Susan hesitated. In the end they were family, if she stood idly by, Grandfather certainly wouldn't

    It didn't take long for netizens to identify the man as Alexander Brown, causing even more merriment. What was this big young master doing streaking down Antique Street?At the same time, at the Brown family villa, the recently recovered Old Brown's face was ashen. He trembled in anger and astonishment, even smashing the TV as he scolded Alexander Brown, "See what you've done!""Disgraceful! Never has my Brown family been so utterly humiliated! Broad daylight and you do this? How can I still show my face?"He cared about face. These repeated embarrassments would surely anger him to death. He quickly took medicine to stabilize his blood pressure."Dad, don't be angry. Don't worry, this won't implicate the Brown family. We've already paid a lot to find someone very similar to Alexander to claim he was the streaker, unrelated to Alexander. It will blow over slowly." Raymond Brown quickly explained."That's right, Grandfather. I've already hired many cyber warriors. This topic will quick

    "Hm? You are?" Jason raised a brow, sensing some oppressive might from this person.But Old Stewart's pupils shrank, seeming to recall something. He cried out, "Flowing Cloud Hand, Christian Cox! It's you? The strongest of the Northern Faction's younger generation from the previous era, even dubbed the most likely successor for Northern Faction's next Martial Arts Master!" "This is bad, trouble now..." Old Stewart's expression changed drastically. He was very clear on Christian Cox's prowess. Think about it, a genius deemed the most likely to become Northern Faction's next Martial Arts Master. Not someone to be trifled with!In terms of strength alone, he was more than ten Jeremy's. A famous figure in the martial arts world too.It was said he once challenged Northern Faction's three strongest by himself, and didn't lose. He even emerged victorious, made a name for himself. This battle also cemented his position!If it came to blows, Jason would be in real trouble. If defeated, the

    Yet Jason remained nonchalant, even under the fierce barrage, not a single hit landed. As if he could predict ahead of time and dodge accurately, leaving spectators stunned.But how was this possible? Even grandmasters couldn't accomplish this, right?Christian Cox was also enraged, his face livid. Glowering, he angrily growled, "Damn you, moving like a monkey. Someone like you still dares call yourself a martial artist? If you have the guts, stop dodging and show me your skills!" "Coward! You're just a coward!"Under such taunts, Jason's brows rose. He shook his head with a sigh, "I was going to try more of your moves, but since you're so impatient, let me show you what true martial arts is!" As he spoke, he suddenly seized an opening, rushed forward, and wrapped Christian Cox's hands in his own like clinging vines, soft yet firm, successfully restraining him in one move."What? Damn you, let...let me go! What the hell martial arts is this? Witchcraft?" Christian Cox cried out in

    "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
