These words immediately drew everyone's attention. To their surprise, the one interrupting was Jason.What was this useless fool trying to do now?Anthony Brown brought fake wares, Raymond Brown brought trouble, was the James Brown clan trying to stir up chaos too?Old Brown was already seething, but didn't want to lose face by yelling in front of everyone. Yet now, at the very end, someone dared speak up? Did they think this disastrous celebration wasn't miserable enough?Especially this waste of space that irritated him with a mere glance - now anyone could cause a ruckus?"Shut your mouth, you have no right to speak here! I'll say it again, party's over. James, drag your useless grandson away..." old Brown fumed.Hearing this, James Brown, who had been stunned speechless, snapped back to awareness. The tremendous shocks in this short time were too much to digest.Susan also panicked, hurrying to placate him. Why was Grandpa taking it out on Jason? Uncle and Second Uncle did such aw
Upon hearing this, the Brown relatives' hearts chilled. But then old Brown added, "A company this large, Susan alone may have trouble commanding authority. Robert can be Deputy Chairman to assist."These words stunned even Robert Brown. Deputy Chairman? Wow, a promotion!The relatives also erupted into wild celebration and excitement. As expected of old Brown, always leaving a contingency.This was appointing someone to keep Susan in check. The future balance of power in the Brown family was still undetermined.Susan was also pleasantly surprised. She truly never expected Grandpa to agree, even though he deliberately made her an "acting" Chairwoman and assigned Robert Brown as Deputy Chairman. In her eyes, this was already a huge concession.She couldn't help but glance excitedly at Jason. He had done it, giving her a chance to prove herself. She would surely impress everyone with results.Although not the best outcome, it met Jason's expectations. This position was essentially bought
Seeing this, the residents were amazed and marveled at what important personage had come to their humble district. Did someone strike it rich or marry well? In all of Emerald City, who could compare to this woman's poise? She must be from Metropolis Central!Just then, James Brown and Mary Martinez were returning home and also witnessed the scene. "What kind of car is that? It must be extremely expensive!" James Brown exclaimed.Mary Martinez scoffed, "Don't be so boorish. Our daughter is the Chairwoman now. We'll have no shortage of luxury cars in the future. I'll be able to wear whatever jewelry I desire without question.""But we have to get rid of that useless Jason quickly. Now that our daughter is Chairwoman, what use is keeping a good-for-nothing like him around?""Some high society ladies I know have agreed to introduce eligible bachelors to Susan. Any one of them would be a hundred times better than Jason! If we want fancy cars and jewelry, we'll have to rely on my wonderful
Tower's brow ticked up as he remarked meaningfully, "The Young Master never bested me as a boy. After nearly a decade in exile, how much skill could you retain?"His words were not scornful, but rather sincere - forcibly barging in was near impossible.Yet in the next moment, Jason accelerated rapidly, his movements suddenly erratic. Tower's pupils constricted in alarm as he threw a punch that met only air. In a flash, a knife-hand strike landed squarely on his neck.With a heavy thud, Tower crashed limply to the ground, half his body numb."Wha...what?" Daniel Smith exclaimed in shock as he and the other retired experts and bodyguards rushed over, stunned by the blinding speed of Jason's movements.It was like watching a graceful spin, deftly evading and exploiting momentum for a decisive blow that felled Tower instantly.As seasoned warriors themselves, they found Jason's mastery deeply astonishing. Even together, they doubted they could overcome him - the gulf was too vast.Daniel
In the old master's eyes, only results mattered. If not for his eldest grandson's dire plight, would he even have recalled Jason's existence? Were it not so, the old master might not have remembered he had another grandson at all.As the saying goes, nothing surpasses an imperial family's ruthlessness. And the Wesley family was likely far worse...Downstairs, Jason took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, sinking into brooding silence as his mouth twitched, suppressing the urge to curse. Even in the office he had not felt such anger, taxing his composure. His indignation was evident. His rented e-bike...was gone again!"Fu--!" Jason growled, his face darkening as he immediately called a number. After a single ring, Steven Martin's respectful voice responded, "Mr. Gray, your command?""You have one day to haul in every bike thief in the city for interrogation and find out who stole my e-bike. Twice, no less! This is beyond tolerable. I want to know who he is!" Jason grated out.The
Robert Brown was elated to gain a Vice Chairman position for a mere $78 million pendant, laughing jubilantly. In his eyes, paying that much just to be Acting Chairwoman was idiotic, pathetic even. Were it him, he could have invested that money or started a new company - all better options than a temporary "Acting Chairwoman." Truly laughable.Just as Jason finished tidying up at home, his phone rang with Steven Martin's voice. "Brother Jason, I found that bike thief.""Good, deal with it yourself," Jason casually replied, no longer as angry. Susan's class reunion was in two days. She seemed fixated on finding that "old friend," even guessing several candidates yesterday.As Jason was about to hang up, Steven Martin hurriedly interjected, "Um, Mr. Gray...""Hm? What is it? Some trouble?" Jason's brows knitted, detecting something amiss. Could the South Emerald City underworld boss not even handle a lone thief?Steven Martin broke out in cold sweat. He couldn't let Brother Jason see hi
The thousands in the arena cried out as well. A fight broke out? Someone dared make trouble at this underground ring? Are they crazy? But excitement and savage grins soon spread across their faces.No one caused problems here and saw the sun the next day. This would be a rare spectacle."Get them! Bash them up!""Haha, I bet 100 grand they die. Go on, beat them to death!"The commotion did not escape the notice of a VIP box above the ring, where a middle-aged man frowned. "BJJ?" he murmured."Sean, what do you think?" At his words, a dark-skinned man in a sleeveless shirt responded impassively, "Yes, and no. He's trained for a few years, a expert but not a master.""I could take him out in 100 moves or less!""I see." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, pleased. This was Mr. Henderson.The one called Sean was his ace, the undefeated champion of the underground ring with 39 consecutive wins.They called his fist the Iron Fist, a reputation understood only by those who had faced it."
Sensing the thunderous cheers and screams from the crowd, Jason raised a brow. This man was clearly no ordinary figure, with such popularity and dangerous aura."Sir, you've injured so many people here and caused such a disturbance. You've gone too far. No one has ever been so arrogant and reckless here before. The consequences will be severe," Sean said coldly, rolling his neck.Hearing this, Steven Martin's expression changed. He whispered urgently, "Mr. Gray, be careful. This man is the ace boxer here. His fist is hardened steel.""They say over half the men who've faced him ended up with broken limbs. The rest were either crippled or killed. You must be extremely cautious."Kyle, collapsed on the floor, was also filled with regret and self-reproach. It was over, he could no longer stop this."Damn it..." he cursed.Hearing all this, Jason flicked his clothes in the shadows and replied, "Why not ask the man behind you to come out? Better to speak face to face."Sean frowned, about
