Seeing the man spewing profanities and spoiling for a fight, Justin was ready to explode with rage. This must be some mistake caused by that wastrel brother of his! What kind of trouble had that useless fool gotten himself into to bring this gang after Justin by mistake, bent on crippling him on sight?"Damn it all, this is absurd!"He wasn't one to be pushed around. No one in Metropolis Central would dare treat him like this! To be wrongly accused and subjected to such indignity for no reason, Justin Wesley was not one to swallow insults. "I'll say it again, you've got the wrong person. I'm not who you're looking for," he stated angrily."And who the hell are you anyway? You can't even recognize Jason, yet you still dare come causing trouble?" He was truly infuriated now. As the saying goes, filth gathers among the dregs - this was a clear cut imbecile.Susan watched this unravel in stunned disbelief. Although confused, the muscular brute did seem vaguely familiar. Wait...could it
"You're spouting nonsense! I don't even know you. Don't listen to her garbage," Justin shouted frantically.But Edward Reed's eyes flashed with fury. "To think I almost fell for your lies!""No, it's not me, I swear it's not me!" Justin felt his lungs would explode from rage. How could he have anticipated that wastrel having such luck with women?But Susan wore a mask of indignation, tears glistening in her eyes as she cried out mournfully, "You despicable cheater and liar! How dare you cheat on me, seducing my closest friend behind my back? I hate you Jason, you scumbag!"Having said her piece, she turned and left in feigned tears. Hearing this, rage boiled up in everyone present. What a bastard, two-timing like this!Edward Reed was particularly incensed. He had already learned earlier that Susan was Emily's best friend. With her testimony, how could there be any doubt?"Got anything more to say for yourself, Jason?"Justin was about to desperately defend himself again when a flyin
Cracking his neck, Jason laughed mockingly, "It's simple. I'm done playing games. Heather White, how much longer were you planning to peep?"Mandy blinked in surprise. Heather White? She wasn't here, she had left already right?But in that instant, Jason kicked a small pebble, sending it flying towards a particular spot in the basement. A crisp shattering sound rang out as a pane of glass broke. A corner of the basement suddenly lit up, revealing a fully furnished surveillance room. Not only were over a dozen elite bodyguards inside, but the one leading them was none other than Heather White herself!She hadn't left at all, instead monitoring everything secretly the whole time. This whole charade had been orchestrated by her."How can this be? A hidden room with one-way glass?" Mandy exclaimed in shock. That alone was astounding, but how had Jason detected it? She hadn't noticed anything!Heather White was also greatly dismayed, her face a mixture of disbelief and ugly rage. How had
Although the pain was excruciating, the wound was not fatal.It missed her vital organs by just a tiny fraction of an inch."You..." Heather White cried out in shock and fury, her breath catching in her throat. She was completely panic-stricken, having come so close to succeeding.But Jason coldly held her fast and said, "Although you certainly deserve to die, passing so easily would be too merciful for you.""From the moment you came to the Wesley family, everything you've done to me - framing me, falsely accusing me, even slandering me to my grandfather to make the Wesleys abandon me and get me expelled from Metropolis Central - all of it was because of you, you wretched girl!"As he spoke, Jason forcefully twisted her wrist until it snapped, causing Heather White to shriek in pain as the dagger fell from her now limp hand. But it wasn't over yet. As soon as she looked up, a loud slap rang out as Jason fiercely struck her across the face with the flat of his palm. The impact was li
Looking at Heather White's lifeless body, Mandy actually cursed under her breath, "Damn old fool, spoiling my plans again. The daughter-in-law I spent years grooming died for nothing.""And that boy...after so many years, to actually have grown so capable, thwarting my meticulous schemes and costing me a daughter-in-law, yet I've gained nothing on him. Hmph, don't get too complacent just yet..."If these words had reached the ears of some in the Wesley family, they would surely be shocked speechless. She was the true mastermind! Heather White was merely a pawn to her!Delving deeper into this line of thought was frightening - the implications too enormous for anyone to believe.Meanwhile, Jason had already set off on his return journey. Before leaving, Steel had urged him not to come back to Metropolis Central again. He had a persistent feeling this place remained shrouded in darkness, hidden enemies lurking everywhere.But unknown to Steel, Jason was fully aware yet unwilling to exp
"You're looking for him...for what purpose?"Justin Wesley's eyes lit up. So the old man did know Jason! He hastily wiped the blood from his nose and said sinisterly, "I'm his close relative, very close, like family. I have some business with him."Although the slut got away for now, she couldn't escape his grasp. He would go wait at Jason's home to ambush her.He would make Jason suffer for the rest of his life!But as he spoke, Adam Stewart's expression suddenly changed as he reflexively took several steps back, as if witnessing something shocking. Justin Wesley frowned - what was with this old man? A sudden chill crept down his spine.Glancing back, he realized a group of people had appeared at some point, staring coldly at him with expressionless faces."You're Jason's relative? Very close family even?" The leader, a tall man, narrowed his eyes meaningfully. "Then you must be very important to him!"Justin Wesley sized them up impatiently. "Who I am is none of your damn business.
But Christian Cox only sneered coldly. "The Saint's disciple is no ordinary junior. Since he bears that supreme halo, he must also shoulder the pressure. If he can't withstand it, then he's unworthy of the halo - better to strip it away.""In any case, the words have been delivered. We shall meet in half a month atop the Emerald City mountains. I hope the Saint's disciple is no coward!" He gave a mocking laugh and then left with his group.Jason had brought endless humiliation to the Northern Faction. Only blood could wash away this shame. In half a month, it would be his death.Even refusing to fight would brand him a worthless coward, earning the ridicule of all under heaven and humiliating the Saint. It was an impossible predicament.Of course, there was a way out, but that path was virtually impossible. No, it was completely impossible, eternally impossible - and that was Jason defeating Albert. But that could never happen.And so...Jason was doomed to die!The Northern Faction m
With a wave of his hand, Lawrence had Justin Wesley taken away. They had only come because of Jason's orders to protect Susan's safety.They never expected to run into this fool who delivered himself to their door.Truly astounding stupidity. Take him away for now until Mr. Gray returned to decide how to handle this.When night fell, Jason finally returned to Emerald City. Hearing Lawrence had captured someone, he went to check it out.Upon arriving at a basement and seeing Justin Wesley, Jason fell silent, staring intently for a long time before asking dubiously, "Who's this pig head? When did I ever make an enemy of him?"It wasn't that Jason failed to recognize him; it was that the current Justin Wesley was unrecognizable—a wretched sight more pitiful than a beggar. To recognize him would have been an anomaly.Who could have fathomed that this was the esteemed scion of the Wesley family?At that moment, Justin Wesley drifted in and out of consciousness, his eyes swollen from weepin
