The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 314: Refund and Apology
Those simple words seemed to release the tension crackling in the air, as the wizened figure - the legendary old Mr. Reed whose very name shook Central Area - exhaled deeply, yet his demeanor remained one of profound deference."I am Tony Reed, come to beg Mr. Gray's august pardon and indulgence, to spare my Reed family further severity."THUNDERSTRUCK!Those words detonated like a bolt of lightning obliterating Joshua's capacity for rational thought, leaving him gaping in stunned disbelief.What in damnation was transpiring here? Had his eyes not deceived him, the former Reed patriarch - a scion of one of Central Area's preeminent clans, the upper echelon's ruling elite surpassed only by the likes of the Turner dynasty - was beseeching Jason for clemency? Begging mercy for their entire illustrious family?This beggared belief, defying all reason - had he not recognized that wizened countenance, he would have deemed the man an imposter! Yet Jason remained unmoved, regarding the sup
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 315: Hypocritical James
"This black market holds no further purpose," Jason decreed coldly. "Return all prior ill-gotten gains, for if word reaches me of any future frauds, you and your execrable den shall be extinguished as one!" His words carried the full weight of the genuine masterwork's rightful custodian - though a mere collectible to him, its sanctity could never be profaned."Did you hear me?" The old patriarch's eyes bored into them punishingly."Y-yes, of course! I swear obedience - never again shall I transgress!" Foster bobbed his bulbous features feverishly.Joshua too was drenched in cold sweat, only collapsing in relief once Jason and the old patriarch had departed - that surreal spectacle seeming a waking dream.Yet one question gnawed... why had old Mr. Reed shown such deference to Jason, that seeming wastrel? Unless...he was acquainted with the Stewart patriarch himself? If the Stewarts had allied with Martial Saints through matrimony, their might dwarfed even the venerable Reeds. If old
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 316: Eldoria City's Purported First Physician
How grievously mistaken she was. Over these three years, the household duties had fallen entirely upon Jason's shoulders while Mary Martinez reclined in idleness, venturing forth only to gamble before returning promptly for meals. Yet Mary Martinez was not without her virtues. For all her avarice and vanity, she harbored a mother's tender concern for her daughter's wellbeing.Her humble rural origins and mere marriage into lesser nobility perhaps accounted for her lofty overcompensating airs. "Enough prattling," she waved a peremptory hand. "With that rustic wench absent, fetch me some Miracle Cure ointment instead."Her reddened, inflamed countenance would require more than a day or two to subside unaided. Having been housebound, her card partners eagerly awaited her return. Jason's brow arched quizzically. The fabled Miracle Cure could remedy even this? Though skeptical, his mother-in-law had decreed it; best to investigate. Stepping outside, he dialed Roger Cox, seeking elucid
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 317: The Gray Divine Physician
Roger Cox and his cohorts had enforced secrecy masterfully, elevating Jason to nigh-mythical status in the public consciousness. He could not but feel a twinge of self-conscious discomfiture at such unmerited veneration."So you style yourself Eldoria's First Divine Physician?" Jason addressed the aged mountebank, gesturing with the substandard ointments. "How can one of such lofty repute indulge in peddling these duplicitous concoctions and profiting from ill-gotten gains? Fear you not karmic retribution?" The surrounding patrons started in surprise. Duplicity? Surely not - this was the bosom companion of the vaunted Gray Divine Physician himself! And the miracle cure clearly proved efficacious."Bah, reckless slanders!" the elderly man scoffed. "I perceive you as some envious rival from a competing apothecary, dispatched to impugn and discredit me. What proof have you of these aspersions? Without evidence, I shall not suffer your vitriol meekly!""Aye, produce your evidence forthw

Best to ascertain potential risks. Though he trusted his master had solely imparted it to their intimate circle of disciples.Jason's reply was calmly nonchalant. "Is there not more impact in vanquishing you upon your proudest field of mastery?""Arrogance, arrogance!" The charlatan's face purpled with appalled fury, his frame quivering. "You truly court death, whelp! What madness convinces you that victory lies within your grasp? Some delusion implanted by the Gray Divine Physician himself?"The observing masses gaped in astonishment. This scene-wrecker had a daring streak bordering on insanity! It was akin to a novice challenging a master chef at his own cuisine, or a ploughman vying against an Olympic sprinter. Sheer folly - a path to inevitable humiliation! Paying no heed to the crowd, Jason strode purposefully toward the arrayed medicinals as if fully intending to compound the ointment himself. Joel Morgan regarded him with sardonic smirks, permitting the upstart first selectio
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 319: A Condition Regressed
Joel Morgan's eyes blazed with gratified vindication, though he affected a dismissive wave. "A mere preliminary effect, nothing more. The healing powers of a true divine physician far transcend such trifling palliatives!" He leveled a contemptuous sneer at his antagonist. "Let this object lesson chasten you while you still may! Now it is too late for regrets!"Yet Jason shook his head solemnly. "I cautioned that your ointment was all glittering facade, did I not? Left unchecked, it would only exacerbate the condition." No sooner had he spoken than the patient's brow furrowed in a spasm of agony. "Such searing pain - worse than before!" he groaned through clenched jaws, clutching at the ivory-slathered leg.But on the darkly coated limb, the tide of inflammation was visibly, miraculously reversing at an astonishing rate! "Impossible...this cannot be!" Joel Morgan's complexion went chalky with shock and dismay. "My peerless ointment...rendered impotent? Nay, actively deleterious?"
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 320: Ashley's Obsessive Fantasies
With a weary sigh of surrender, he unburdened himself of long-concealed deceits and evasions. He and the Gray Divine Physician were not intimates - had never even met. Those ostensible miracle cures promising instantaneous panacea had been naught but overblown charlatanry to lure the gullible. As for the grandiose "First Divine Physician of Eldoria" honorific...it had been a bald-faced usurpation of his own master's illustrious title and renown, the better to insinuate authority where none legitimately existed. A thunderous silence greeted these abject revelations. Then, as full realization took hold, a susurrus of infuriated muttering swelled into a torrent of virulent outcries and recriminations. "Profiteering whoreson! That you should merely defraud us was sin enough - but to so blaspheme the sanctity of the Gray Divine Physician himself?" "Aye, that exalted healer is beloved throughout Emerald City for his innumerable kindnesses and selfless works. That you would so spit upo
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 321: Portents of Upheaval
At that moment, Susan emerged from the study wearing an uncharacteristic expression of haunted trepidation. Before Jason could voice concern, she inhaled a tremulous breath and delivered a portentous pronouncement."Tomorrow at the eighth hour, Grandfather has summoned an emergent Board of Directors convocation. All members of the Brown family's executive cadre are commanded to attend without exception." Her gaze met Jason's, profound unease welling in those luminous depths. "He professes to bear tidings of extraordinary moment and upheaval. Change is coming to the House of Brown...cataclysmic change."Early the next morning, the Brown family conference room was already bustling with activity. Virtually every member of the Brown family, big and small, had arrived.At present, the room was abuzz with speculation. No one understood what Old Brown was up to. Not only had he called an unprecedented board meeting, but he'd also announced that he had something significant to declare.Wh
