Old Stewart was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Suffered a huge loss? What...what does that mean? How could becoming Martial Saint's disciple be a loss?He was both exasperated and amused. This was a huge stroke of good fortune. He himself wished he could become Martial Saint's disciple, yet didn't have the chance. Countless people dreamed of gaining this honor, but only a select few had in all these years.How could one be unwilling when gaining such a benefit? Taken advantage of you? It was more like you gained tremendous advantage!If the countless envious people gnashing their teeth over this heard it, they would probably want to skin Jason alive. If you don't want it, why put on airs?Little did he know, Jason truly felt he had lost out. Who could have expected that guy to step out and watch the show?Wasn't that just asking for trouble?To put it this way - in his eyes, he and Martial Saint were friends. But now that he had become his disciple, wasn't that lowering his status by
"What? You want me to go to Emerald City?" Justin Wesley's shocked voice echoed throughout the luxurious hospital room, full of impatience and suspicion.Surely this old man wasn't joking with him? Given his illness, if even the renowned Divine Physician Lee couldn't cure it, what kind of person in a backwater like Emerald City could possibly treat his bizarre condition?Old Mr. Wesley was also skeptical. "Divine Physician Lee, can this mysterious master you speak of really cure Justin?"Amidst their disbelief, Lee calmly stroked his beard. "If I had to name one person who could cure your strange illness, it would be him.""Medical skills have highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses. This person's medical technique is miraculous, often defying expectations and achieving the unfathomable. I believe he will have some way to deal with your peculiar condition, at least able to greatly alleviate it from what I know."The one he referred to was naturally...Jason!Although he didn't know th
"This is all your fault. I knew you didn't have good intentions. Otherwise, we could have at least stood our ground in the Brown Family!"Facing their fury and gnashing teeth, Jason roughly understood after listening - Grandfather had actually kicked Susan out, and all of Susan's accomplishments were now worthless. Her authority had even been stripped down to the bottom rungs of the company.The Brown Family could have prospered, but instead they destroyed their own foundations. Truly foolish to the extreme."Mom, stop talking. It's not his fault, it's because I was too stupid," Susan shook her head dejectedly, not blaming Jason at all.Although it was true that the day before yesterday, they had offended Grandfather, the root cause was still Grandfather not valuing her. Deep down, she had expected this would happen one day. The only thing that upset and saddened her was her ongoing projects.She had heard Grandfather wanted to cancel them. For the ones that couldn't be cancelled, he
At her words, Robert Brown grinned unscrupulously and arrogantly. "Don't worry. Those useless trash Jason and Susan only temporarily fooled the Sanchez Family. Now that I'm Chairman, do you think the Sanchez Family won't value me?""I bet Susan never imagined that the dozen-plus major projects she just obtained, before she even had a chance to warm up to them and laugh about it, would all be snatched away by me. I really ought to thank her for securing so many benefits for me!" Margaret Brown also bared her teeth sinisterly. She could already imagine Susan's wailing and regret. Right now, she even more wished she could run to Susan's face and mock her wildly."To celebrate Robert Brown becoming Chairman, this young lady is willing to disrobe and offer myself, to allow Robert a thorough and passionate time...""Gulp, I've been waiting forever for this..."Just as their passions were inflamed, the office door was suddenly shoved open. The secretary rushed anxiously inside, then froze u
He was withdrawing funds? Damn it, was he insane? There would have been returns in a while!What's more, he even wanted compensation for losses? Was that in the contract? How did he not remember this?The meek secretary said at the side, "Final interpretive rights belong to Mr. Hill. Temporarily changing the person in charge does count as us breaching the contract.""Currently, in addition to repaying Mr. Hill the $1 billion principal, we also need to pay $130 million in breach penalties...""$130 million?!" Robert Brown shrieked, his heart seemed to stop for several seconds. It didn't seem like much compared to the $1 billion. Just a tiny fraction. But one had to know, much of that $1 billion had already been spent on various major projects, Raymond's investments, and more. Coming up with even $500 million would be difficult.Forget the principal. But that $130 million penalty was fatal. Without the investment, even selling off their entire Brown Family might not raise that much mon
But even as he thought this, his heart shuddered in fear. It was one thing after another, like the collapse of the world, flayed alive inch by inch as he slowly sank into the abyss.He was so anxious he felt his head would explode.This must be more of Jason and Susan's tricks!But Raymond Brown and his son stared furiously. "We agreed on a first investment of $100 million, but so far only $10 million has come through. I don't even see a shadow of the second and third investments. How am I supposed to do the project without money?""What's more, just now, Loyalty Group asked me to send over a batch of medicinal materials for inspection first. If it's late, it counts as me breaching contract, and I'll have to pay a tenfold penalty. Do you know how massive a sum that is? Sky-high!""Cut the crap. I'm asking you, where's the money? The agreed upon investments? Hurry up and transfer it over, quick!"He was truly anxious, fanning the flames. Although Loyalty Group requested an inspection,
Old Brown also glared at Jason. "Where's my female pendant? Daring to covet even my belongings, I see you're truly tired of living!"But at his words, Jason disdainfully laughed and casually took out an antique pendant from his pocket. "Grandfather, you can eat randomly, but don't speak randomly. The pendant is yours? Where's the proof?""Bah! My word is the proof. Don't make me destroy you for daring to steal Grandfather's possession!" Alexander Brown threatened with bulging eyes.But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt an icy wind gusting behind him. Looking back, he discovered over a dozen burly security guards coldly watching them."Daring to cause trouble at Mr. Gray's residence? Do you believe I'll destroy you right this instant?" The patrol captain asserted arrogantly. Alexander Brown and the others were scared stiff, deferentially obeying.Seeing this, Old Brown's mind stirred. Hard tactics didn't work, so he had to try soft tactics, moving them with emotion and re
"Jason, you're really pushing it, aren't you? That grandfather is allowing her reinstatement is already gracious and merciful. Yet you still dare overreach and demand an apology from him? Looks like you're asking for death. That will never happen.""Let me make this clear. Grandfather's word is law in the Brown family. Not just dismissing someone, even banishing a useless person from the Brown family, no one would dare say it's wrong!" Robert and the others bellowed in shock and fury.Not just them, even Mary and her husband were startled. They had thought it was merely talk, and had not imagined he would seriously demand an apology from old Brown. Madness! Who dared force old Brown's hand? Reinstatement was already a blessing, who would dare ask for more?Old Brown's expression also darkened, rage smoldering within. His forehead veins bulged and throbbed. This shameless, useless wimp!Never once had he apologized to his own descendants. Not in the past, nor would he ever in the futur
