Hearing this, Nathan Morris quickly fawned, "The divine doctor is right, as expected of a divinely wise physician, impartial and just."

"That's right. It's just an ingredients contract, insignificant to Mr. Smith. Let it go then. Shouldn't Mr. Cox be given face..."

Seeing them ingratiate themselves, Daniel Smith's expression darkened while Susan's pretty face paled. This contract was her last hope. Without it, she was finished.

But Alexander Brown and Raymond Brown bared their teeth in smug grins. With Doctor Cox's support, who else dared interfere?

The two looked towards Susan's family again, cruel smiles on their faces. This bunch of useless fools actually dared talk back earlier. It seemed they truly tired of living. If they weren't driven from the Brown family and made to beg for mercy on their knees, they would not rest.

Mary Martinez and James Brown's faces turned ghastly pale, anxious and afraid. Their hatred for Jason deepened, cursing him bitterly in their hearts. It was all

    "You foolish girl, what are you saying? Manager Garcia gave these to me himself, it's all fine wine. We can definitely sell them for a good price when we get home, I have to win back the money I lost!" Mary's face was filled with avarice. Jason sighed helplessly. Did she think they were given for free? In reality, it was to curry favor with him, using just a few bottles of red wine to put him in debt. He had paid a high price.But Mary glared at him. "Are you dead? You ran off so quickly just now when it was time to do something embarrassing. Also, if you dare speak out of line again, get lost!""If not for my daughter's connections, you would have had your legs broken by those security guards long ago."Jason glanced at her indifferently, completely unmoved as he said flatly, "Even if there is a next time, I will still stand up, unlike all of you who watched your daughter be humiliated.""What? You, you useless trash, you actually dare to talk back?" Mary stared wide-eyed, struck sp

    "No men allowed?" Jason blinked in surprise, looking the man up and down peculiarly. "Are you not a man yourself? On what grounds can you go in?"The lecherous-looking man acted arrogantly, patting his large belly and gloating, "I'm the store manager here. How can you compare with me? Stop wasting time and get lost."Seeing the man's overbearing attitude, it seemed this was not the first or second time he had done this. Yet he was still acting forcefully and aggressively. But upon hearing this, Jason was amused. He did not back down and retorted, "So what if you're the store manager? You're not selling women's underwear here. Why can't I go in? What kind of stupid rule is this?""Besides, I'm here with my wife. Do you expect me to stand outside and give suggestions while she shops for clothes?""Oh? Your wife?"The lecherous man looked him up and down skeptically, then scoffed, "With your looks, you have a wife? Let me make this clear, we have another rule here - ugly women are also

    He had installed secret cameras in the fitting room and was spying on customers! The video quality was very clear too, with multiple angles capturing every spot.Jason could never have imagined the man was even more despicable than he thought."Tsk tsk, who would've thought Emerald City still had such an exotic beauty. She's gorgeous! I almost missed her. What a hot figure, just thinking about it makes my nose bleed."The lecherous man drooled.His eyes were like a hungry wolf staring at its prey in the night."Take it off, take it off...come on take it off..."To his anticipation, Susan entered the fitting room and put the clothes down. But she did not hurry to change, instead simply touching up her makeup first. She used to always go barefaced, but had slowly started making an effort recently.Unconsciously, she was putting on makeup for Jason now, caring more and more about appearances around him.Just after finishing her makeup, she suddenly turned around. Her high heels seemed to

    She used that fitting room frequently, changing clothes there countless times. If there really were secret cameras, her body would have been fully exposed by now!Imagining some lecherous man ogling her naked body sent chills down her spine, making her hair stand on end.No wonder only beautiful women were hired here, with such high wages, yet the female staff never lasted long. After this incident, she would surely be fired as well."I'd like to see who meets a terrible end today - me, or you and your ruined reputation," Jason sneered coldly.The lecherous man cursed furiously to himself. Of all the people to run into, it had to be someone who didn't care about money! The problem was, he hadn't even seen anything yet. It would be a different story if he had already peeped on her. But to be discovered right before it happened!Just as he was anxiously thinking of a way out, he suddenly saw his savior.Stumbling and crawling out of the store, he stopped a passing man and excitedly call

    Anyone witnessing this would be extremely shocked and rattled, as if celestial beings were paying respects to a mere farmer, utterly reverent.In fact, Nathan Morris was even more shocked inside. Thomas Rodriguez's status was higher than his. Rumor has it Seasons Hotel was backed by one of the top 10 most prominent families in Central Area. But he didn't know which one exactly, only that they were more powerful than him.Yet even Thomas Rodriguez was showing such deference. Just who was Jason Gray?It seemed he had still underestimated him. Could this person also be from one of the top 10 families in Central Area?Jason glanced at them, seeming pensive. But at this time, the kicked lecherous man crawled over again, crying, "Brother-in-law, you...you can't just abandon me.""You know about my little hobby. Just pay them off and it'll be settled. Why did you hit me? You're the boss of Mega Business Group. Can you still be afraid of trash like him?""That's right, he dared to kick me jus

    Hearing this, Jason was dumbfounded, vaguely laughing it off, "Maybe it's a guilty conscience making them paranoid.""Is that so?" Susan considered it and found some sense in his words. But it was probably fear of Daniel Smith right? Otherwise, why would Mr. Morris come to apologize?"Right, have you decided what to gift Grandpa for his 70th birthday? We offended Uncle this time, so he'll surely seize the chance to retaliate. If our gift is lacking, he'll definitely nitpick it to death."Susan felt somewhat troubled. Just thinking about these matters, and her irresponsible parents, she could only feel mentally exhausted.But Jason was brimming with confidence, "Don't worry, this birthday gift will definitely be the best one."Seeing his absolute assurance, Susan could only suppress her doubts. For now, believing in him was the only thing she could do. After all, they were poor. There was no way for them to buy anything nice. Her pay this month had already been spent by her mother.If

    Jason was getting more and more brazen in defying her. She would find an excuse to put him in his place properly. In her eyes, Jason could only ever be the pathetic weakling cowering in the corner, unable to fight back or talk back. He was the perpetual punching bag, obediently catering to their every whim. Going against her wishes was the height of disrespect.But James Brown was too preoccupied with keeping up appearances to think much about that. Still uneasy, he asked again, "Susan, you're sure you have the birthday present ready?""Dad, don't worry. I've got it covered this time. We'll make the family proud and save face. Jason was the one who got the gift, so be nice to him from now on." As soon as the words left her mouth, Mary Martinez and Raymond Brown reacted as if scalded."Susan, have you lost your mind? What kind of decent gift could that worthless fool possibly get?" Mary shrieked."We're doomed. If he brings something embarrassing, I'd rather not have come at all," Ray

    Though the congratulatory speeches seemed simple on the surface, intentionally excluding one person cleverly conveyed James' complete worthlessness in stark contrast to the others.It was like plunging daggers into their weakest spots, eviscerating them without dirtying their hands. Each repetition twisted the knife, trampling their dignity and heaping scorn upon them. The assembled dignitaries could clearly recognize how utterly useless James' family was.Even old Brown frowned at them. He had been oblivious before to how shamefully incompetent James was compared to Anthony and Raymond."Hmph, useless fools!" old Brown snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with James Brown's family. Utterly pathetic. Though advanced in years, he was sharp enough to see this was a deliberate snub. Still, it was a sign of Anthony and Raymond's connections and influence that they could gather such prestigious guests. James deserved such humiliation. If not for Susan's efforts, James would pro

    "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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    "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 -

    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
