Although Susan had just regained her senses, she understood Jason was helping her. How could she easily hand over the shares?Since the soft approach didn't work either, old Brown gnashed his teeth in immense anger. His words had reached this point yet were still useless! Although he still held 49% of the shares, if Jason and Susan joined forces, he would become the second largest shareholder again, powerful yet unable to act, just like when Raymond Brown and his son had toyed with him.Gnashing his teeth, under the pleading of Raymond Brown and Alexander Brown, the old man scowled blackly and ground out, "I'll have finance transfer the $6 million. Sign the contract!"This was unimaginable to him before coming. Just this small matter actually still required money to resolve? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!Susan relaxed. Grandfather was willing to go this far, which was already not easy. She quickly wanted to agree, but unexpectedly, Jason indifferently said, "Yesterday it was $6 mill
Under the gaze of all, the white-robed man finally slowly turned around, disdainfully arrogant as he said, "If you kneel and beg for mercy now, this seat may still spare y-"But he couldn't finish speaking. His entire person was suddenly frightened, pupils dilating wildly as he could stuff a duck egg in his gaping mouth. His scalp even exploded in shock."You...you..."His shriek startled everyone. What was wrong with the Grandmaster? Could he recognize this insignificant person?Jeremy, Christian Cox and the rest were dumbfounded."What's going on?"But when Jason saw the man's identity, his entire person was also stunned, unable to recover for a good while."So it's you!"Not only did they recognize each other, they were quite familiar. He would never have imagined the Northern Faction's esteemed guest, the Grandmaster, would turn out to be this guy.No, he should say defeated opponent!Arthur Howard? No, his younger brother...Benjamin Howard!The saying goes that enemies were bound
Under their shocked disbelief, Benjamin Howard's eyes lit up. Putting on a stern face, he solemnly stated, "Oh? So you think I'm deceiving you?""A disciple of the Martial Saint is not something you can comprehend. Let me tell you the truth. This one is the Martial Saint's personal disciple. It is kept secret, known only to a select few. The likes of you wouldn't know even if you were killed."Nonsense. He had randomly fabricated this. If anyone actually knew, it would be a genuine ghost.But suddenly he felt some admiration for his own wit and wisdom. In this situation, he could still think on his feet, a true genius. This excuse was just perfect to awe these people into a stupor.Even if they didn't believe it, could they go ask the Martial Saint? Whether or not they could meet him was another matter.With this, the matter was unverifiable. Benjamin Howard felt a swell of pride and wanted to laugh..."Personal disciple?"Christian Cox and the rest were dumbfounded, mouths agape.No
Benjamin Howard's expression changed, seeming to realize something. He asked in suspicion, "The Grandmaster you speak of, could it be... Albert?""What? It's him!" Old Stewart's face changed. This man was also a great eccentric in the world of martial arts, a formidable Grandmaster.In the Northern Faction, his prowess could rank near the top. Among Grandmasters, he was preeminent, proficient in all three martial arts, integrating them flawlessly. His future was limitless!"My young friend, you must not kill him. This Albert is always arrogant and looks down on everyone. If you kill his man, it will definitely cause big trouble." Old Stewart anxiously cried out.Benjamin Howard also couldn't help but be wary, "This man's skills are unfathomable. It's best not to make an enemy of him..."But before he finished speaking, accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering bones under the eyes of the crowd, Jeremy's agonized grin froze as his body went limp.Jeremy stared blankly at the darkeni
Originally, he was quite curious, but this guy's attitude annoyed him. If you're going to invite someone, at least have the right attitude. Since he was so reluctant, Jason didn't even want to go anymore. Bye!Seeing that he was leaving and flat out rejected him, Billy Sanchez was stunned. He had personally extended an olive branch, yet someone actually dared refuse him? No one in Emerald City had ever snubbed him like this!Even trash like Robert Brown and Alexander Brown of the Brown family would consider it an honor if he so much as glanced at them. They tried to curry favor with him. Who could make him personally come to pick them up? And who in Emerald City could have such an honor?Jason was the first, yet he actually dared refuse!"You stop right there! I'm asking one last time, are you getting in or not?" Billy Sanchez said angrily through gritted teeth.But Jason directly turned and left, not even bothering to respond once, just thinking that if Emily didn't come back soon, h
Lee Divine Physician, pillar of the ancient Chinese medical tradition, pride of his craft! None could match his mastery of medicine and healing techniques. His many legends astounded countless people and cemented his status as the spiritual leader of Chinese medicine today.Jason never expected to encounter the famed Lee Divine Physician here, that reverberating legend, and true mentor to Roger Cox. This was no trivial matter. Though Jason's own skills were profound, he was surely no match for Lee Divine Physician in full.That the prestigious Sanchez family managed to invite Lee Divine Physician signaled both their power and, likely, the gravity of the elder Sanchez lady's condition.Upon hearing Jason, Lee Divine Physician laughed heartily, stroking his beard. "The young friend is as astute as he is gracious, grasping the situation at once. I must apologize for the trouble my bumbling disciple has caused you."Roger Cox flushed red, dreading his master's disappointment. Yet he sang
"Excellent! I shall make the first attempt." Lee's eyes lit up as he swiftly readied thirteen slender silver needles, fine as ox hair, tempering them in fire before needling with meticulous care."The Thirteen Divine Needles!" Roger Cox gasped. This legendary lost technique was among his master's prized skills.He had long coveted learning it, but lacked the capacity.Mrs. Sanchez moaned softly as her brows relaxed, eyes fluttering as if rousing. The onlookers brightened - was she saved?But Jason watched intently, then frowned, shaking his head. "Not enough...""Impossible? Don't jest so lightly. With Master Lee's treatment, how could it fail?" Billy Sanchez glared indignantly.How could the flawless Lee Divine Physician ever fail? Any malady would yield to his ministrations. This worthless nobody dared question him?Tyler Sanchez and the others also frowned, displeased. If not for Dr. Cox and Master Lee's glowing recommendations, they would never have called on Jason.Roger Cox was
Stepping forward, he drew needles from the silver case - also intending to employ acupuncture, but selecting wholly different pressure points than Master Lee."These acupoints are..." Lee Divine Physician gasped, his eyes brightening in dawning realization. His expression shifted dramatically as he cried, "Could this be... the Thirteen Deadly Needles?""Impossible! You could not have mastered our sect's ultimate secret! Even I do not know it!""What? Isn't that Master Junior Brother's specialty? Could he... could he be Junior Brother's disciple? But how..." Roger Cox could not help but exclaim in shock.The Thirteen Deadly Needles were an ancient secret silver needle technique passed down through Lee Divine Physician's lineage, powerful and arcane. Paired with the Thirteen Divine Needles, their potency increased exponentially. Yet few could master both sets simultaneously - even learning one was supremely difficult, the mark of exceptional medical genius!That Jason somehow knew the T
