The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 25: The situation in the Underworld
"Oh? Kevin Jackson?" Jason raised an eyebrow. The name didn't ring a bell, though he had heard a thing or two about him in the underworld before. But why would he target Susan? Could it be the northern powers of Emerald City trying to extend their reach south? Or was he deliberately causing trouble for Susan? It had to be one of the two! Steven Martin also found it strange. This Kevin Jackson held immense power in northern Emerald City, virtually unopposed. He was known to be ruthless. His reputation in the underworld was on par with Martin's own - the man was a somebody. Usually there would only be some minor friction, but he had never been so brazen. This surprised Steven. He too was worried about the matter. "Investigate first to get to the bottom of this. Have people keep an eye on him. If he dares make a move, then the underworld cleanup will start with him." Jason spoke with an aloof expression. It was a simple line, yet carried an imposing aura, leaving no room for doub
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 26: The Medicinal Herb Farm Accident
Meanwhile, in a nightclub unknown to Jason and Susan, Robert Brown was drunkenly caressing a sexy college girl while chugging drinks with a tattooed man. "That's enough. Looking at your pathetic state, he's just a useless fool. It won't take me long to deal with him. How do you want to handle it? Just say the word." The tattooed man spoke disdainfully and contemptuously. Had Steven Martin been present, he would have instantly recognized this man - the head honcho of northern Emerald City, Kevin Jackson. He was actually consorting with Robert Brown? Hearing this, Robert Brown's face lit up excitedly. He quickly toasted and exclaimed, "Mr. Jackson, if this succeeds, you'll have my utmost gratitude!" With Mr. Jackson making a move, victory was virtually assured. He could hardly contain his elation and smugness, eager to witness the outcome. Seeing his reaction, Kevin Jackson took a sip of wine and aggressively groped the girls' chests. He clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, I hav
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 27: How Lucky to Have Such a Wonderful Woman!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. There were actually leads? That made things easy. "As expected of Margaret. You care most about company matters and are the most capable. As the young miss, you even condescended to inspect the medicinal herb farm personally. That's truly impressive." "Yes, Margaret deserves full credit for resolving this incident. Well done." "Did you hear that, Susan Brown? Your position could become Margaret's anytime..." Even Old Brown nodded approvingly. "Well done." Listening to the praises, Susan's expression was complicated. Pressing her red lips, she found it ironic. In the past, let alone inspecting the fields, she had lived and worked there under the scorching sun. But how many remembered that? There's a saying - the lover's eye sees beauty everywhere. Anything you do is wasted on those who dislike you. Her mind blank, she suddenly thought of Jason. A warmth filled her heart, like gaining a sliver of reliance. In that moment, she felt no more gri
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 28: Margaret's Abnormality
The following day, before Susan and Jason could even stir, Robert and Margaret had already grown restless. The two convened in secret, fearful that any mishap might occur. Margaret Brown, somewhat anxious, asked, "Are you ready? Can we trust the people you've found? I led Susan to the hotel as you instructed yesterday—don't mess this up." Her envy of Susan was not a recent development. Not only was Susan the beauty of the Brown family, but she was also the most dazzling gem in Emerald City three years ago, with countless admirers. Who, after all, knew of Margaret Brown? It was because so many had admired, secretly loved, and proposed to Susan, only for her to marry that worthless Jason, that many people harbored animosity towards Jason. As for this situation, Margaret didn't actually know any concrete details. It was Robert Brown who instructed her to act this way, promising to help her get revenge. With resentment in her heart, she readily agreed. After all, how dare Susan send
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 29: The Meaning of Regret
"Wait...wait for me?" Upon hearing this, Susan immediately sensed trouble. Why did it sound like they knew she was coming? Had someone leaked the information? Or was this a deliberate setup? Regardless, the current situation was extremely dangerous. With so many local ruffians around, she couldn't contact Jason waiting outside the hotel. Even if he knew what was happening, what could he really do? There were at least a dozen men here. If Jason dared to come in, it would be suicide. Susan felt like she was surrounded by a pack of vicious wolves, leaving her extremely insecure. Her beautiful face turned pale as she stammered, "What...what do you want? Were you the ones causing trouble on my family's medicinal herb farm? I...I think we can talk this through. There's no need for such aggression." Hearing this, the gangsters burst into laughter. Kevin Jackson sneered, sipping his red wine. "Of course, my brothers need to make a living too. The Brown family's business is massive, so pa
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 30: The Useless Son-In-Law Strikes Back
In the past, Steven Martin would never have provoked Kevin Jackson either. After all, that guy was not to be trifled with and had powerful backers - it was too risky to get involved. But now, with just a word from Jason Gray, he naturally had nothing to fear. In the eyes of others, Jason was a useless son-in-law living off his wife. But to Steven, Jason Gray was the real big shot. Looking around Emerald City, Steven felt that Jason Gray was the biggest figure of all. Kevin Jackson was nothing in comparison. "Kevin Jackson, I advise you to come clean for your own good. If you do, Mr Gray might go easy on you. Consider this a friendly reminder after so many years between us." Steven Martin cracked his neck as his men began stepping forward menacingly. Seeing this, Kevin's dozen or so lackeys all changed expression. Even Kevin himself turned black with anger as he glared at Steven Martin and Jason. He scoffed, "You outnumber me, so I'll stand down. But if you think I'll bow to this u
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 31: Slander
Faced with Susan's suspicious look, Jason simply smiled and said, "Trust me. Just say that when we go to see Grandfather tomorrow. Leave the rest to me." "You should also prepare for the project presentation. Kevin Jackson will transfer the compensation money to your account." After hearing this, Susan's face twisted in bewilderment. She felt like something major had happened today - Kevin Jackson and those other people who showed up at the end didn't seem like good news. Could it really be smoothed over that easily? If so, it would be a relief. In the evening, figuring it was about time, Robert Brown called Kevin Jackson, but no one answered. He was taken aback for a moment before breaking into a wicked grin. It looked like Kevin wasn't finished yet - that petite Susan better not be wrecked too badly. He called Margaret as well, telling her it was just about done, that Susan was basically finished. Come tomorrow, it would be the day Susan's reputation went down in flames. Margar
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 32: No Big Deal
"Susan Brown, are you now making wild accusations without thinking them through? Claiming that Jason resolved Kevin Jackson's troubles? Such an enormous joke, I can't believe you'd say something so preposterous."Robert Brown laughed in disbelief.Nearby, Margaret Brown tittered smugly, seeming delighted that this wretch had been driven to the edge, spouting sheer nonsense in desperation. The gathered relatives sniffed disdainfully, shaking their heads. Who was Kevin Jackson? The top dog in the northern part of Emerald City. And who was Jason? The Brown family's worthless son-in-law. How could trash like him stand up to someone like Kevin Jackson? He wasn't even fit to shine his shoes.Just then, Keith Brown thumped his cane and rumbled, "Now that it's come to this, you still dare to stubbornly defend yourself? Do you dare to say you did not sleep with Kevin Jackson?"Susan was utterly bewildered, parting her red lips but rendered speechless. Grandfather's words did not sound like a

"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

Chapter 380: The Tables Turn
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

Chapter 377: Familiar Face
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 -

Chapter 374: More Powerful Than Lee the Divine Doctor
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
