The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 347: Matt Turner's Scheme
"The White family of Eldoria City?" Jason was taken aback. What a coincidence – it truly was a small world. It had to be them.Suddenly, he fixed Matt Turner with a piercing gaze, "Can you swear that everything you've said is true?""What are you implying? Do I look like someone who lies? I'm the number one young master of Central Area. Do you think I speak frivolously like those spoiled rich kids?" Matt Turner slammed the table in rage.However, not just Jason, but all the bodyguards present, including Iron Wolf and Silver Wolf, gave him strange looks."You... fine, I'll swear! May heaven strike me down if I've uttered even half a lie just now!" Matt Turner's nose nearly twisted in anger.Satisfied with this guarantee, Jason nodded with a smile and left the estate contentedly.Little did he know, as soon as he departed, Lawrence and over a dozen men rushed in carrying large speakers. The bulldozer sounds and vibrations had been simulated using these speakers – Jason had been bluffing
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 348: Lotus Thirteen
Instructing Lawrence to return home, Jason decided to explore the antique market further, hoping against hope that he might stumble upon another pendant. He resolved to frequent such places more often in the future. Though the odds were slim, it was better than no plan at all.However, as he rounded a corner, Jason's instincts suddenly flared to life. The once-bustling street had inexplicably emptied, reminiscent of his encounter with Steel. Had Steel returned?As if in answer to his unspoken question, a figure materialized before him. The man exuded an aura of cold arrogance, his piercing gaze fixed intently on Jason."Jason, disciple of the Martial Saint," the stranger declared.Jason's eyebrow arched in surprise. "And you are?"It was almost amusing how many titles he had accumulated without realizing it. Mr. Hill, the Gray divine physician, disciple of the Martial Saint - each far surpassing the reputation of the once-worthless Jason.He couldn't help but marvel at his own meteori
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 349: Spiritual energy
He had lowered himself to negotiate, even offering the East District, and this wretch still failed to recognize his generosity? Did he truly believe himself to be someone of importance?"I'll give you one final warning," Lotus Thirteen said, his neck muscles tensing as his eyes flashed dangerously. "Hand over the jade pendant willingly, and you might just... survive this encounter."But Jason's response was cool and measured. "How interesting. Allow me to offer you a warning in return: either crawl back to the Black Lotus Sect and tell them to cease their meddling in my affairs, or prepare to make this place your final resting ground.""You seem woefully unaware of whom you've antagonized. Take care not to bring catastrophe upon your Black Lotus Sect."A tense silence fell over the alley.Lotus Thirteen's face contorted with rage, his muscles twitching as he struggled to contain his fury. "Arrogant fool! You dare provoke the Black Lotus Sect? You overestimate your worth, you mongrel.
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 350: Encountering Ashley Again
But when Jason looked up, Lotus Thirteen had vanished, having abandoned his fallen guards to cover his escape. So much for the arrogance he had displayed earlier, Jason thought with a derisive snort.As the adrenaline of battle faded, Jason pondered Lotus Thirteen's words about spiritual energy. Was this warm, powerful force coursing through him the result of the mysterious incantation?He had long suspected as much.Spiritual energy, an esoteric concept, was the domain of only the most formidable martial artists. It allowed for unprecedented control and amplification of one's strength, elevating one's abilities to extraordinary heights.Those who could harness spiritual energy were invariably powerful, as it represented the very essence and pinnacle of martial arts mastery!Jason exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of fatigue wash over him. Glancing at the six unconscious figures on the ground, he decided to have Sean's men take them away for questioning. Perhaps they could provide some
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 351: Scam Artist
Lawrence could have provided them with better accommodations, even a small courtyard, but Kyle insisted that such luxury might cause them to forget their roots. He continued to participate in boxing matches to earn money.Jason deeply respected Kyle's self-reliant spirit, befitting his background as a retired special forces soldier.Arriving at the sixth floor of the apartment building, Jason stumbled upon Grace Diaz engaged in a heated argument with several hostile-looking men."My son has already repaid the money he borrowed from you," Grace protested vehemently. "How can there possibly be another $10,000 outstanding? This is nothing but extortion!"She recalled the substantial medical expenses incurred during her illness, but between the compensation from Macro Vision Group, her own salary, and Kyle's earnings, they had managed to settle all their debts.These men were clearly trying to exploit them!"Spare us your excuses," sneered a corpulent man who appeared to be in charge. "It
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 352: Give Me One Minute
Jason's bewilderment gave way to dawning comprehension as he recognized the rotund man as the very loan shark who had been extorting Grace Diaz moments earlier. A closer look at the "victim" writhing on the ground confirmed his suspicion—another of the man's lackeys.The pieces fell into place. This was an elaborate setup, a desperate attempt to fleece someone they perceived as wealthy. The depths of human greed never ceased to amaze.Was this the price of appearing affluent?Jason's anger gave way to a sardonic smile. His gaze locked onto the corpulent ringleader as he spoke, his voice dripping with icy contempt. "Was the usurious interest not enough to sate your greed? Or does your contract include a clause for shameless avarice?"The man flinched under Jason's piercing stare but quickly regained his bravado. "Good people!" he cried out to the crowd. "Witness this travesty! He strikes down an innocent man and then has the gall to threaten me! Where is the justice in this world?""My
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 353: A Visitor from Mount Jade Districts
What had transpired in that fleeting minute?"This... this..." Grace Diaz gaped, her face a canvas of shock. It was as if the man had undergone a complete metamorphosis.Jason, however, remained unperturbed. He cast a disdainful glance at the rotund proprietor and sneered, "Have you come to your senses? Will you confess everything, or shall I do the honors?""I'll talk! I'll divulge everything!" the portly owner shrieked, beseeching forgiveness through his tears. "I was blinded by greed, intending to swindle you out of a substantial sum. I orchestrated this charade, hiring over a dozen people as plants just moments ago to extort money from you."Stumbling to his feet, he lurched towards the man who had been wailing in feigned pain and delivered a swift kick."Cease your theatrics and rise at once! Apologize to the gentleman. Your overwrought performance didn't fool him for a second, you fraud!" He berated the man, punctuating his words with vicious kicks.Though only a minute had pass
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 354: The Newcomer Means Trouble
The elderly woman appeared pleased with this response. She proclaimed imperiously, "You seem like a decent sort. Go to the Brown family residence and mention my name. They'll cover your fare - double the usual rate, in fact. Off you go."With that, she alighted from the taxi without further ado."What?" The driver was dumbfounded. Was this really happening? He stammered nervously, "Um, would it be possible for you to pay now? I run a small business, you see. We don't offer credit, even for the Brown family. Surely they wouldn't mind..."But before he could finish, the elderly woman fixed him with a withering glare and launched into a tirade. "When I tell you to go, you go! I'm offering you double the fare, and you're refusing? No wonder you'll remain impoverished your entire life. You lack both discernment and ambition, you good-for-nothing! If you don't go, you won't see a single penny."With that, she turned on her heel and strode into the gated community.The driver was left slack-

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
