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

"Gasp... $150,000?"Everyone present was startled by the figure.Mary Martinez was dumbfounded. How could this wastrel of a son-in-law give away something so expensive? Didn't he have a brain? In her eyes, all this money being spent was hers. Surely Susan had used their money to buy this gift.James Brown's heart skipped a beat, and he almost instinctively tried to reclaim the gift, "Well, if you don't like it, we can always exchange it for something else...""Dream on! Once a gift is given, there's no taking it back. This belongs to us now. I'm warning you, don't even think about coveting what's ours!" Katherine Gonzales glared.She wasn't about to joke around with an item worth over a hundred thousand dollars. There was no way she'd return it. This was truly a windfall, a generous gift indeed.But then, thinking of the mansion and luxury cars, this piece of wood worth a mere hundred thousand or so didn't seem like much in comparison. No, this wouldn't do. They had finally caught a b
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 339: Trouble with a Big Shot
"Cheetah? I'm your big brother Russell, and you dare to act cocky in front of me? Do you know who my aunt is? She's a wealthy socialite from Emerald City. You dare offend me?""Now, be a good boy and apologize. I might just spare your life!" Russell Martinez glared, his breath reeking of alcohol.Normally, he wouldn't dare to be so brazen, but with Susan here, a company director no less, and the liquid courage coursing through his veins, who did he have to fear?Not just some Cheetah, even if the mayor himself showed up, he'd dare to be aggressive. Bumping into him? What a blind fool!If Jason were here, he'd surely marvel at how alcohol truly emboldens the cowardly. If one were to measure the depths of human shamelessness, Russell Martinez had just plumbed new lows.Upon hearing this, the buzz-cut man, Cheetah, exploded with rage, his anger giving way to a sardonic laugh, "Well, well, well. In all of Mount Jade Districts, you're the first to dare speak to me, Cheetah, like this. You'
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 340: Extortion
But upon hearing this, Cheetah's sneer deepened, "The Brown family? Loaded, are they? Want to save this brat? Fine. Bring me $1 million for his ransom. Otherwise, I'll take his miserable life.""You have one minute to answer. If not, I'll start by chopping off one of his hands!"As he spoke, he ground his foot into Russell Martinez's face. The latter cried out in pain, wailing, "Mom, I'm scared! Quick, tell Aunt to save me! Money, give him money!""Money?" Jason and Susan exchanged odd looks. So it really was a ploy to extort money. They truly had no shame.And $1 million at that. How greedy could they be?But Katherine Gonzales and Joe Martinez blanched, clutching at Mary Martinez in panic and anger, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pay the ransom! My son's about to lose a hand!"However, James Brown had reached his limit. Slamming the table, he roared, "When will you ever stop? One trick after another, and now you want $1 million? Do you think we're that easy to fool? Has all
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 341: Mr. Lawrence's Boss
"No tricks, and don't even think about running. Otherwise, I'll wipe out the Martinez family first, then go collect my debt from the Brown family!" Cheetah snarled at Katherine Gonzales, Susan, and the others.Only after he left did Katherine Gonzales hurriedly help Russell Martinez up, fussing over him. Suddenly, she turned on Mary Martinez and Susan, raging, "If anything happens to my son, no amount of money will be enough compensation!""And you'll reimburse me for my Huanghuali wood carving!"Susan was livid. "How is any of this our fault? You practically dragged us here for this meal!"She was about to argue further when her mother, Mary Martinez, pulled her back, urgently whispering, "This is our chance. We need to run. Once we're back in Emerald City, I doubt he'd dare come after us.""Yes, yes, let's go quickly. Mount Jade is Cheetah's domain, but in Emerald City, he won't be so bold. We can have the Brown family deal with him then. He'll have no choice but to return everythin

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
