The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 282: Inevitable Futility Awaited
Amid Edward's stunned incredulity, even Billy Sanchez stepped forth, his tone solemn. "Mr. Reed, discretion is the wiser course. Let us not mar this auspicious occasion with unbecoming scenes. Jason is one of my own in Emerald City - I shall not permit your unrestrained transgressions." The Sanchez family too, aiding Jason? Four noble houses now!If the assembled elite felt shaken, even Matt and Henry Murphy could scarcely mask their stupefied disbelief. What unfathomable undercurrents had set this unthinkable alliance in motion? Four paramount dynasties arrayed as one - a development demanding their utmost consideration. Had the world turned mad? Susan and Emily exchanged bewildered glances. Never could they have anticipated such an influx of stalwart defenders. Were they swayed by Edward's excesses or compelled to honor the Cooks' allegiance? Little did they grasp that the true catalyst was Jason himself - a feat the Cooks alone could never have orchestrated.Even Edward found hi
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 283: Bidding
His words instantly kindled ravenous hunger within the attendees' eyes - even the illustrious Henry Murphy and Edward Reed could not mask their avaricious stirrings.Though scions of nobility, a deal valued in the hundreds of billions represented no trifling sum. As heir apparent to their respective dynasties, the ability to generate substantial wealth and accomplishments was paramount. Without such prowess, of what use were they as successors?The Brown patriarchs, too, felt their pulses quicken before surveying the voracious gleam mirrored by their peers, crestfallen realizations dawning. Susan, ensconced among the premium seats, shared their despondent capitulation before the cruel reality of their meager prospects.Only Jason regarded the proceedings with an inscrutable smile playing upon his lips.Yet Jack's subsequent words ignited an incandescent fervor, bordering on rapturous zeal, throughout the enraptured audience."Regarding our forthcoming collaborative ventures, allow me
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 284: A Miracle Unfolds
It represented her absolute ceiling, yet paled in stark comparison to the Butler and Wright offers. She harbored no delusions of success - Emily was no prodigy of commerce.Even Susan shook her head, equally convinced such a bid would swiftly be obliterated beneath the avalanche of wealthier competitors. Yet Jason's smile deepened with mysterious significance as the auctioneer's gavel abruptly fell, Jack's resounding declaration shattering the pandemonium."The Cook family bid is accepted!""Wh...what?"An eerie, tomblike silence descended upon the stunned hall as hundreds of voices found themselves rendered mute, eyes glazing with stupefied disbelief.Emily herself could only gape, utterly dumbstruck. Had...had a miracle truly transpired?'Twelve billion dollars?' Not only the crowd, but Emily herself was dumbstruck, her visage etched with disbelief. Had it truly transpired? Was this not a mere phantasm of the mind? That such a paltry sum could secure triumph seemed implausible. S
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 285: Boss of Loyalty Group
Matt Turner and Edward Reed inwardly raged, their ire scarcely containable. That madman – to expend such effort for a mere twenty percent stake? Sheer lunacy! To sacrifice all reason for such trifling gain.Yet for all their vitriol, their hearts seethed with vexation, for only the final share remained."Damn it all!" Their eyes met, seeming to strike sparks of murderous intent. This last prize had to be theirs, if not for its worth then for the sake of pride alone. Silently, they vowed to spare no expense!In their secluded corner, the Browns, father and son, trembled with trepidation – mere motes in the cosmos as deities waged war above. Yet if Susan's triumph proved unattainable, some equilibrium could be restored to Raymond's mind. For should she ascend to such rarefied heights, her rise would render her utterly untouchable.It was at this moment that Matt Turner, Edward Reed, and the assembled public companies clamored for the fifth share's bidding to commence, determined to st
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 286: Leonard Reed
Yet Jason's tone remained glacial and unyielding. "These are the wishes of Loyalty Group's chairman - to extend our partnership with the Brown Group."Jack, too, ascended the dais, his words resonating with finality. "The chairman's decree is our edict. Any who cannot accept this reality must await the next opportunity. But those unwise enough to instigate unrest shall forever forfeit any future considerations."They were Loyalty Group, no mere provincial upstart - their ambitions answered to no external authority. If the paramount houses failed to secure the initial portions, whose failing was that? Not even the formidable Turners could cow them through empty bravado. Indeed, neither Turners nor Reeds dared jeopardize their coveted Loyalty prospects through reckless belligerence. Though resentful over their failure to claim the proverbial cake, outright hostility remained an intolerable risk. To have such tantalizing riches dangle before their eyes, only to witness them snatche
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 287: The Identity of Old Stewart Unveiled
His words elicited a collective gasp, for a startling revelation lay therein.Henry Murphy's countenance darkened in an instant, his rage scarcely containable – that wretched viper Ashley, damn her!Even Matt Turner registered surprise before his lips contorted into a disdainful smirk. How intriguing, growing more delectable by the moment. Let the dogs tear at each other's throats – the greater the chaos, the sweeter his satisfaction."Your vile tongue begets naught but insult. No excuse shall absolve the affront against my Reed clan. Surrender that final share, and I may grant you a merciful end," Edward Reed's eyes flashed with merciless resolve. In his mind, Jason was doomed regardless. He may as well seize that final prize for himself.Stephen Wright, Ronald Butler, and their ilk raged in unison, "Edward, what madness is this, brazenly commenced beneath the open sky? Persist, and expect no clemency from us."Their sole recourse now was to join forces, praying their united front m
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 288: Edward Reed's Abject Humiliation
It was a revelation that dawned upon Jason as well. He had always perceived Old Stewart as a mere commoner, never considering a loftier possibility. Truly, an unforeseen contingency."Your will, Old Mr. Stewart?" Leonard Reed's head prickled with dread as he adopted a simpering, conciliatory tone – a stark contrast that left the witnesses aghast. Was this truly Leonard Reed? Even his own son Edward wore an expression of utter disbelief, as one beholding a haunting specter.Yet Old Stewart's brow furrowed in disdain as he scoffed, "The matter extends beyond my desires. It falls upon my young friend here to determine your penance. You, a boor whose actions imperil your entire Reed legacy!" Turning to Jason, he smiled. "Mr. Gray, you have my full support. Mete out whatever judgement you deem fit. This wayward whelp cannot be shown lenience – vent your ire without restraint."Jason's rueful smile preceded a solemn shake of his head as he addressed Edward Reed, "Did I not caution agains
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 289: Julia Struck Up a Conversation
Perceiving this, Leonard released his grip and, wholly unmoved by the horrified stares surrounding him, had his son's unconscious form removed before departing with an air of crisp finality. Not a single recalcitrant word dared escape his lips, conveying an almost admirable decisiveness.The witnesses could only shake their heads in stunned amazement, even Old Stewart and Julia Stewart registering their admiration. A true falcon among men – unafraid to soar or withdraw its talons.Though Old Stewart professed the ability to humble Leonard Reed, never could he have compelled such an act through mere words. Yet Leonard had clearly scented the veiled warning therein and sought to appease Jason with abject apology and atonement.It is worth noting that Old Stewart had never revealed Jason's tutelage under a Martial Saint, speaking volumes of Leonard's astute sensitivity to underlying currents."Mr. Gray, might I trouble you for a private word?" Old Stewart exhaled deeply before offering

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
