The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 361: No Need for Further Words, Let the Battle Begin
James Brown also breathed a sigh of relief. His heart had nearly leapt out of his chest moments ago. He knew this good-for-nothing was merely indulging in the thrill of bidding, though he had to admit it felt rather satisfying.Just then, the cheongsam-clad beauty, her face glowing, pointed to an exquisite jade box and announced, "Next up is the highlight of tonight's auction, our grand finale - a jade pendant, another precious Mystical Object..."But before she could finish, Jason interrupted boldly, "No need for further words. Let the battle begin. $100 million!""$100 million?"The crowd gasped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief.Had he lost his mind? Without even seeing the item clearly, he'd bid $100 million straight away. Was his family running a money printing press?James Brown's body shook violently, causing him to spew his coffee. He nearly crawled under his chair. $100 million? He might not see that much money in this lifetime, or even the next!Madness! This good-f
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 362: An Unexpected Victor
Jason pondered for a moment but didn't speak. Although he wanted the jade pendant, purchasing wasn't his only option.For instance, if Gerald White was determined to oppose him, letting him buy it would mean two jade pendants in one location - essentially delivering treasures to Jason's doorstep.If someone wanted to buy things for him, why should Jason object? He could simply wait for the delivery.He still had unfinished business with the White family of Eldoria City!Clearly, the young White scion was oblivious to being targeted. At that moment, he was anxious, his eyes bloodshot."Hurry up, what's the hold-up? Conclude it quickly...""$130 million once, $130 million twice..." As the cheongsam-clad beauty's excited and measured voice rang out, she proclaimed, "$130 million...""Wait! I bid $150 million!" A sudden voice interrupted the proceedings.The crowd was stunned. Was there a hidden tycoon among them?The young White scion was so enraged he kicked the table, shattering it. Wh
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 363: Deceptive Mask
They had all seen the jade pendant and knew of its miraculous properties. Her description matched perfectly—something an outsider couldn't fabricate."Mr. Lawrence, how should we handle her? Should we force the information out of her?" Sean suggested.Ashley jumped onto the bed, her face pale. Though her chances were slim, she hoped to take a gamble.In the silent room, Lawrence contemplated before speaking. "You two stay here and watch her. If she tries anything, throw her out the window.""Understood!"Ashley's face turned green with fear.Meanwhile, Jason left the auction house, feeling invigorated. He could sense the jade pendant's enhancement of his abilities.With his innate spiritual energy and this top-tier Mystical Object constantly nourishing him, he felt stronger today than yesterday.If he had known earlier, he would have acquired more valuable Mystical Objects to further increase his power.James Brown exited with a satisfied expression, having thoroughly enjoyed the spec
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 364: The Truth of Years Past
"What... what did you say?" Gerald was stunned. His once-caring uncle had just called him worthless?Noah scoffed, "Isn't it true? If not for your sister, how could a failure like you ever hope to become the White family heir? Don't delude yourself. Barring unforeseen circumstances, that role was never meant for you."Gerald felt his world crumbling. Had his uncle always viewed him this way?Was this how everyone saw him? Had he always been nothing more than a joke?"I don't believe it. This can't be true! I am the White family heir, irreplaceable..." Gerald protested weakly.Noah sneered, "Don't fantasize. Ten years ago, the family undertook a crucial mission that could elevate our status. Your sister, Hedda White, was chosen for this task.""She had to erase her past to shoulder the family's hopes. Her conditions for accepting were twofold: first, to make you the White family heir, and second, to let you live freely, oblivious to the truth.""Had things gone according to plan, you w
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 365: Jason's Kindness
"If only you had considered the consequences of your actions," Jason said, shaking off her grip. He had warned her long ago.Ashley's face fell in despair. Was death her only option? Jason was her last hope.No matter where she hid, the Murphy family's resources would track her down."Please, I was wrong. I truly regret my actions. If Susan were here, she would help me!"Jason paused, thoughts of Susan giving him pause. He sighed, realizing how Susan's influence had softened him. Was this the effect of one's environment?Reluctantly, he advised, "Leave Emerald City. Disappear. If I'm not mistaken, the Murphy family will be too preoccupied to pursue you for a while..."Given Henry Murphy's acquisition of the jade pendant, Lotus Thirteen wouldn't let him off easily, and Gerald White would also be watching. The Murphy family would have no time to worry about a single woman.The door slammed shut, leaving Ashley alone, her expression a mix of emotions, her mind racing."Leave Emerald City
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 366: Universal Doubt
Amidst the clamor and his disciple Joel Morgan's dejection, Old Mr. Brooks maintained his dignity. "It's the undeniable truth. I was defeated.""What?"The crowd reeled as if struck by a sledgehammer to their very souls.Even Patterson divine physician and Wood divine physician were stunned, their expressions fluctuating. Surely, even for the sake of appearances, such an admission was unnecessary."Though I lost, I find solace in it. It proves our medical world has a worthy successor. I'm genuinely pleased and deeply gratified," Old Mr. Brooks said, stroking his beard approvingly.As he spoke, he suddenly spotted Jason and rose to greet him. "Ah, young Stephen Wright, you've finally arrived!"The crowd was astounded. Old Mr. Brooks, a towering figure in medicine, respected worldwide, rising to greet a junior? Who was this youth to receive such treatment?Stephen Wright? Was this the youngster who had bested Old Mr. Brooks?In an instant, over a hundred pairs of eyes, filled with displ
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 367: Patterson's internal injury
Roger Cox, Dennis Campbell, and Jerry Parker were all equally dumbfounded. Gray divine physician, truly worthy of his title! How could they have dared to question him?Wood divine physician was perhaps the most startled of all. His eyes bulged as he stammered, "Old Mr. Patterson, surely you jest? You're currently suffering from an internal injury? Is this true?"Old Mr. Brooks and Joel Morgan also gazed at him in astonishment, as if witnessing snow in June.Under the collective scrutiny, Patterson's face darkened, his muscles twitching. He glared at the smiling Jason and grudgingly admitted through gritted teeth, "Six months ago, I experimented with a new medicine. I thought it harmless, but it unexpectedly damaged my body.""Although I promptly took some remedies, an internal injury had already set in, and quite a severe one at that. It has stubbornly persisted for half a year now. My primary reason for attending this Chinese Medicine Conference was to seek Lee divine physician's cou
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 368: The Strongman Can't Lift His Own Feet
Old Mr. Brooks hastily reassured him, "Don't worry, young friend. Even if you're not confident, it's perfectly understandable. Each field has its specialties, after all. No one will think less of you."Roger Cox and the others nodded in agreement. Being unable to treat such an ailment would be expected; success would be truly miraculous."Hmph, I suspect this is the extent of his abilities. He's all talk when it comes to actually treating the condition," Wood divine physician scoffed.However, upon hearing this, Jason shook his head and replied with a cold smile, "A strongman, no matter how mighty, can never lift his own feet. The same applies to Patterson divine physician!""Since I can diagnose the condition, I naturally know how to treat it. Though it appears severe, in reality, a simple acupuncture treatment would suffice to cure Old Mr. Patterson completely!""Acupuncture treatment? You claim a mere acupuncture treatment would suffice?" Wood divine physician burst into laughter,

"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,

"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
