The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 258: Money Denied, Life Demanded
Jason's solemn nod held profound implications. "These assailants have no appreciation for jade. Mr. Flores' most treasured imperial jade has been demolished, rendering it worthless. Mere greed does not appear to be the motive.""What? Then...what could it be? A vendetta? But Mr. Flores never wronged anyone. If anything, he curried favor from many. The ones he disdained most were your Brown family," Old Stewart exclaimed in disbelief.Jason's thoughts turned to Robert Brown, yet the man lacked the audacity for such an act, nor did the Browns have cause to antagonize Mr. Flores.Surveying the devastation, Jason murmured, "If my suspicions prove correct, their target may not have been the most valuable item, but rather something unique—something specific.""But what could Mr. Flores possess to inspire such covetous desires?"From the outset, Jason had discerned signs of torment inflicted upon the elderly man, his gruesome demise igniting a searing fury within him.To subject an old man t
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 259: Assistance from Lee, the Divine Physician
Though bewildered, Susan chose to trust Jason, momentarily at a loss for words. Her cheeks flushed as she softly murmured, "Your bed is made. Get some rest."With those words, she scurried away, her face crimson.Jason blinked in confusion, as if he had misheard, only to discover that his makeshift bedding in the living room had vanished."What...does this mean?"In his bewilderment, Aunt Grace Diaz beamed from afar, her gestures implying the evident—had he truly failed to grasp the implication? His days of sleeping in the living room had ended.In that instant, an indescribable surge of joy and elation washed over Jason. At last, liberation!Could he return to that bed he had briefly savored?Ah, the sumptuous embrace of that plush mattress, he was coming...While a seemingly simple step, it represented a profound stride for Jason—a thawing of tensions with Susan, the dissolution of past grievances.More importantly, it signified Susan's willingness to accept him into her life—a prom
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 260: A Coy Suggestion
"The situation is dire; no more words are needed. Saving a life takes precedence." With that curt utterance, Lee swept into the ward.Steel and Mandy stood speechless, their bewilderment tempered by profound relief. With Lee's intervention, Old Wesley's recovery seemed assured.The eminent attending physicians, upon recognizing Lee, could scarcely contain their elation, their tears of gratitude barely restrained. A true savior had arrived!For without Lee's expertise, they would have undoubtedly joined Old Wesley in oblivion—an unthinkable fate, given the Wesley family's formidable stature.It was only after an interminable interval that Lee finally emerged. Steel and Mandy hastened to greet him, their trepidation palpable. "Master, how fares he? Will Old Wesley persevere?""Rest assured, he has been pulled back from the precipice of the abyss. However, a period of unconsciousness awaits. With proper care, his revival is inevitable," Lee reassured them.Mandy exhaled in relief, yet he
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 261: Good things ruined by Mary Martinez
Jason, however, remained perplexed, scratching his head as if sensing an incongruity. Had he misspoken? He thought sharing the news of the new drugs would delight Susan.This diverged from his expectations, and not only did she withhold a smile, but cautioned him to remain well-behaved.What mysterious thoughts occupied the feminine mind?Jason's bewilderment deepened, genuinely failing to perceive the intimate undertones. Having secured a shared bed was challenging enough; how could he fathom such passion from the outset? He remained oblivious to the nuances.Meanwhile, Susan's flushed cheeks burned as she faced away, her breathing growing rapid, her heart pounding like a startled fawn. Every stir from behind heightened her trepidation and yearning, coupled with overwhelming shyness.Though three years married, this would be their first time. She felt akin to an enamored young couple."They say the first time is painful. Am I truly ready to give myself to him? After all, I am indebte
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 262: Joseph Rogers Rises to the Challenge
Infuriated, Mary Martinez prepared to unleash a torrent of invective, only to meet Jason's icy, threatening glare which seemed to exude an aura of murderous intent. She froze, the rage on her lips swallowed back down her throat. To persist seemed to court grave peril.Yet, unable to resign herself, having reveled in such elation only to gain naught, not a solitary cent - accursed fate! Her gaze, however, chanced upon the subtle intimacies between the pair. As one versed in such matters, comprehension dawned.In that moment, Mary Martinez fell silent, harboring her grievances for but an instant before wordlessly departing."Hm? She...relents?" The bewildered pair exchanged glances.Seldom did Mary Martinez concede so readily within their home; in times past, she would raise interminable tumult.Regardless of her motivations, her absence cleared the path. Jason cleared his throat, his ardor undampened, meeting Susan's brilliant azure eyes with a smoldering gaze, as if two searing flame
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 263: The Public Clash
He believed in Lawrence's capabilities, for though unfamiliar with Joseph Rogers' prowess, sans underhanded tactics, a direct duel favored not the challenger. The true crucible lay in the unmasking of their respective trump cards...Amidst the thunderous challenge, a towering silhouette ascended the arena. This figure, lean and sharp-eyed, regarded the familiar Lawrence with a sinister sneer. "I never imagined you would live to see this day of retribution.""Yet it has been five years. Such trivialities should have faded into the past, Mr. Lawrence. No need for this endless fixation." "If you desire reconciliation, we could jointly reign over Emerald City!"Lawrence's rage smoldered at the dismissive tone, murderous intent roiling within as he faced the reappearance of Joseph Rogers after half a decade's absence. How could that callous remark of "five years" encapsulate the suffering endured, the prime of Natalie's life confined to a wheelchair through no fault of her own? An unforg
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 264: You are 'King'!
Jason's gaze sharpened as the mocking voice's owner emerged from the shadows - a mysterious figure garbed in white, his demeanor radiating haughty contempt for all beneath his regal bearing."And you are?" Jason arched a brow, sensing the undisguised murderous intent directed solely towards him."Wayne Howard - commit that name to your nightmares, for it shall become your eternal tormentor. Truth be told, you have piqued my curiosity. But who could foresee your foolish trespass against those you ought never cross? Pity - your existence cannot be suffered to linger."Yet as his gaze fell upon the fractured jade pendant adorning Jason's neck, the white-robed figure's sneer froze, his countenance shifting as realization blossomed. "How did you come by that artifact?"After such frenzied efforts the previous night, to encounter it here by sheer happenstance - the universe's paths proved indeed inscrutable! An unmistakable match to the photograph, this was no mere coincidence."You refer
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 265: A Throat Sealed by the Sword's Edge
Yet who could have foreseen enraging the formidable 'King' himself, that Lawrence would prove a mere subordinate under his dominion?Accursed folly - if only he could strangle the life from Joseph Rogers tenfold over!Within the arena, the combatants' furious roars intermingled with the clamor of clashing bodies and visceral sprays of sweat and blood. Yet Joseph Rogers' evident inferiority drove his desperate offensive as furtive glances scanned the viewing platforms.Where was the signal from the venerable Mr. Howard?Today's spectacle served to bait ulterior players, luring Lawrence's ruinous resurgence that they might crush all adversaries underfoot. Yet Joseph Rogers could never have fathomed the extent of his reverence toward the prostrated Wayne Howard, that same 'Mr. Howard' now beseeching Jason to stay his noble hand and spare his life.To witness such a sight would surely inflict mortal terror.Jason's glacial stare met Wayne Howard's abject pleadings. Under ordinary circums

Chapter 381: Conclusion
"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
Chapter 379: A Tricky Situation
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
Chapter 378: Jealousy Drives People Mad
"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
Chapter 375: An Exorbitant Allowance
"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,
Chapter 373: Universal Adoration
"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
