The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 330: Are You Robbing Me?
Joel Morgan's expression soured. His deception had been exposed, leaving him no choice but to admit, "I acknowledge my errors, Master. Henceforth, I shall dedicate myself to the genuine study of medicine and refrain from such foolishness.""Hmph. We'll address your transgressions later," Brooks retorted. "Now, take me to this Roger Cox. I wish to gauge his abilities against Lee divine physician's."The casual mention of the revered Lee divine physician betrayed Brooks' own standing. Joel Morgan, however, failed to grasp the implication.Had Lee divine physician been present, he too would likely have paid respects to Brooks as a junior, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.The pair hailed a taxi, bound for Emerald City Hospital. The driver marveled at his passengers—two elderly gentlemen who exuded an otherworldly aura with their benevolent countenances, youthful complexions belying their silver hair, and the subtle fragrance of medicinal herbs. They were clearly extraordinary

Even he found the price excessive, but his father had inexplicably insisted on this astronomical figure, leaving him little choice.Seeing the newcomer's interest, Susan's urgency to leave subsided. She warned, "Sir, this man is a con artist. Don't be deceived. This jade isn't worth more than $10.""That's preposterous! I'm no fraud," the vendor protested. "The price might be steep, but the item is genuine."The middle-aged man set down the pendant and declared, "I'll be frank. This jade is indeed exceptional, surpassing even Imperial Green jadeite in quality."The vendor's eyes lit up triumphantly. "You see? I wasn't lying!""However," the man continued, "this piece is tiny—smaller than a coin—and it's incomplete. An intact specimen might indeed fetch $100 million. As it stands, I'd offer $10 million at most. If you agree, I'll add it to my collection."His assessment was razor-sharp.Undoubtedly an expert, his offer seemed fair—neither party would lose out.While Jason believed the
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 332: Challenge
In his eyes, Jason appeared even younger than Roger Cox. Could someone of his age truly be a master physician?Even for those born into medical dynasties, such a feat seemed implausible!Jason was momentarily at a loss for words. He glanced at Roger Cox, who could only offer a helpless, wry smile. Who could have anticipated they'd be confronted so swiftly? Clearing his throat, Jason declared, "Actually, I hadn't finished explaining. I'm Roger Cox's disciple, Stephen Wright!"His words were met with a deafening silence.It wasn't that they had uncovered a flaw in the deception. Rather, Brooks and his disciple were utterly stupefied, their jaws hanging open in disbelief.The individual who had improved his most prized formula wasn't Roger Cox, but Roger Cox's disciple? Roger Cox's apprentice was capable of enhancing old Mr. Brooks' recipe?It was worth noting that Brooks considered himself half a generation ahead of even Lee divine physician. If it had merely been his own disciple showi
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 333: You Can Admit Defeat Now
Samuel recalled her master, Dennis Campbell, once mentioning another supreme expert in internal medicine. This master, too, was a paragon of medical skill, but he had long secluded himself in the mountains, largely unknown to the world. In terms of mastery within their respective domains, he was said to be on par with Brooks."Master, do you think he can defeat old Mr. Brooks?" Samuel asked worriedly, observing Jason's meticulous preparation of herbs.Despite her admiration for Jason, she had to be realistic. In her heart, she held little hope for his victory."That... is difficult to say," Dennis Campbell replied with a grimace. Neither competitor was someone he felt qualified to judge.Old Mr. Brooks was the foremost expert in external injuries!As for Jason, he had a knack for turning the mundane into the miraculous!Jerry Parker and Roger Cox were equally perplexed, forcing themselves to maintain utmost focus. Any misjudgment in their evaluation would surely invite contempt. Ironi
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 334: A Serendipitous Encounter
In his view, the four were deliberately stalling to protect Jason. The longer they delayed, the more room for manipulation.But against true mastery, such efforts were futile!Noting Old Mr. Brooks' furrowing brow, the four hastily conferred. Finally, the impartial Dean Butler took a deep breath and solemnly announced, "This contest... is a draw!""What? A draw? Are you jesting? How could this upstart possibly match my master? His skill, on par with my master's? Your bias is blatant!" Joel Morgan erupted in fury.He was genuinely astounded by the shameless duplicity of Lee divine physician's lineage, so brazenly distorting reality.Samuel was equally stunned, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief. To her knowledge, her master never falsified results. Could Mr. Gray truly have ascended to the level of a grandmaster?Jason wasn't surprised by the outcome. It wasn't that he lacked the desire to win, but rather that they had reached the pinnacle of possibility. Even the most skilled mast
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 335: Convinced Beyond Doubt
Surprised by this turn of events, Jason nodded in acknowledgment. He promptly retrieved the Black Spirit Ointment and antibiotics, then began examining the wound. Meanwhile, the middle-aged tycoon recounted the circumstances leading to their predicament.As it transpired, they were out-of-town merchants. Upon returning from an antique market, the tycoon discovered his son had fallen ill in their hotel room, exhibiting locked jaw, difficulty swallowing, and labored breathing – all gravely serious symptoms.Upon arriving at the hospital and hearing the tetanus diagnosis, he was utterly terrified, knowing it to be one of the most severe complications of external injuries."Can you recall if your child recently suffered any deep puncture wounds, crushing injuries, or animal bites?" Jason inquired as he prepared the medicine and heated the acupuncture needles."Yes, yes!" The tycoon nodded vigorously. His son had recently sustained a puncture wound on his arm – an accidental injury they th
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 336: The Doctor's Foresight
Seeing everyone's shock and confusion, Old Mr. Brooks shook his head and sighed, "I'm not speaking nonsense or making false claims. I truly lost. In terms of treating external injuries, he has surpassed me.""That's impossible! You're the top expert in treating external injuries, the number one divine physician in Eldoria City. How could someone so young be better than you? Master, you must be joking. You're the real winner," Joel Morgan said in disbelief.Roger Cox, Dennis Campbell, and the others felt the same way. This must be Old Mr. Brooks being modest; at most, it could be a tie.Even Jason tried to persuade him, "Master, you're being too humble. How can you declare a winner before the competition is even over?"However, Old Mr. Brooks shook his head bitterly, "The outcome was decided long ago. You managed to improve the original formula's efficacy by 35%, while I only came close to that. In saving lives, you have shown far more foresight than I have.""In the medical world, tet
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 337: A Family of Three Driven Mad by Poverty
Just then, Katherine Gonzales suddenly walked out of the store. She was Susan's aunt. Upon seeing Susan's family, her eyes lit up, "You're finally here! Where's the gift? Wait, don't tell me you came empty-handed?"Uncle Joe Martinez and his son Russell Martinez also came out, glaring, "Empty-handed? For such a big event as an opening, you have the nerve to come empty-handed?""Opening? Is it... just this small store? Didn't you say it was a restaurant?" James Brown asked in shock and confusion.Joe Martinez's eyes darted around. If they had said it was just a small store opening, would they have come? The last time they went to Emerald City, they were beaten for stealing money and never dared to go back.But if they couldn't go to Susan's house for money, what would they eat? Fortunately, the old lady had given them money to open a small store, so they thought of tricking Susan's family to come. If they couldn't go to Emerald City, at least they could get them to come here.A restaur

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
