"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

    "Yes...I'll tell you everything, just don't hit me anymore. Anything you want," Justin blubbered gratefully through his tears.Jason signaled Sean to depart, leaving the two alone in the secluded chamber—not to conceal information, but to spare Sean from knowledge that could prove detrimental.The interrogation commenced, and Justin Wesley displayed an unprecedented eagerness to divulge every detail, unprompted, as if desperate to unburden himself.From childhood to the present, he laid bare every transgression.As Jason listened with impassive mien, his countenance grew increasingly glacial with each revelation, realizing that the old patriarch's favoritism far exceeded his imagining, while his mother's adoration bordered on delirium.For instance, years prior, Justin had once taken a liking to a young lady from an esteemed family, ravishing her through acts of depravity that defied description.Yet when Mandy learned of this, she not only refrained from reprimanding him but delivere

    Thus, she seized the first opportunity to rush back to Emerald City. Yet Jason appeared unharmed, his well-being intact."My lady, do I look alright to you? How long must I bear this 'scoundrel' label because of you?" Jason lamented."Um...I'm sorry!" Emily blushed, her guilt intensifying as she met Susan's gaze, at a loss for words.Her previous reluctance to reveal the truth stemmed from a fear of fracturing their cherished bond as confidantes. Could Susan and Billy Sanchez ever truly understand one another, given their disparate stations?But her silence only compounded Susan's turmoil. "You...you're truly the daughter of the Cook family?"Though the evidence seemed irrefutable, Susan struggled to reconcile the carefree Emily with the image of a noble heiress, torn between anticipation, bewilderment, and dread.Beneath Susan's earnest gaze, Emily sighed, nodding in resignation as she acknowledged her lineage."Susan, I'm sorry. My family's arranged marriage...I never wanted it. 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
