Seeing his trembling excitement and twisted glee, Kyle cursed inwardly, his muscles tense. Though he disliked the man, his words were likely true. He had seen experts in the military and much since retiring. It wasn't hard to see the formidable skill of these dozens of bodyguards. As for the Sanchez family's security team, one could imagine. Even randomly grabbing one would yield an expert.With his own skills, he could handle three at most. As for Mr. Gray, no matter how strong, it was impossible to beat dozens. An utterly impossible feat."Damn it, damn it..." Jason was cold and sharp, somewhat beyond expectations, arousing his killing intent. He had been too lenient, leading to some repeatedly provoking him. Though this was Sanchez territory and the men difficult to handle, Jason was truly enraged this time and determined to settle this no matter the cost."Stubborn fool. I was inclined to spare you for your years with Susan's family, but you dare plot against me from the shadow
"Vroom... grr..." The beastly roar of the engine was thrilling and resonated loudly. A brand new BMW i8 drifted over to Steven Martin and the others, smoothly coming to a stop."Whose car is this? Kyle, did you buy it?" Steven Martin looked at the driving Kyle in disbelief.Just then, Jason silently walked over, glancing back at the Sanchez Car Shop as he said, "It's a gift from Billy Sanchez. Interesting fellow, clearly not the debauched playboy portrayed outside.""Who? The young master of Sanchez Group? That number one rich second generation in Emerald City, Billy Sanchez?" Steven Martin cried out in astonishment. Although he now controlled Emerald City's underworld with unprecedented might, before the Sanchez family he was still just a gangster. The true overlord of Emerald City was still the Sanchez family.Though he had never met Billy Sanchez, being able to casually gift a car worth over a million dollars meant the man was either addicted to luxury or tremendously bold.Jaso
Especially Mary Martinez, never imagining that marrying into the Taylor family for status and vanity would require them to provide bride price. Wouldn't that be paying them instead? What kind of status was that?The seated Susan was also shocked by these words. If not for her mother coercing her on threat of death, how could she sit here letting them denigrate her? "Your Taylor family aims too high, beyond our reach. Please leave." Susan said calmly.Hearing this, Mary Martinez anxiously added under Mrs. Taylor's glare, "Susan is young and foolish. As parents we decide for her. But asking us for bride price is unreasonable. You should know our Susan is now the chairman of Brown Group, holding great power. Marrying into your Taylor family would be an honor. And our two families have been friends for years."She was greedy, but never expected to meet someone greedier. There was no way she'd give her daughter away for free!But Mrs. Taylor disdainfully sneered at her words, "What use is
But Jason simply snorted disdainfully, "Watch your words, old woman. I didn't lay a finger on him, ask him yourself if you don't believe me."At this, Andrew shuddered and hurriedly stammered in fright, "I...I fell myself. Mr. Gray had nothing to do with it. Mother, how could you say that about him? You should be apologizing.""What?" Everyone present was dumbfounded.Mr. Gray? Apologize? Were they hallucinating?Mrs. Taylor stared at Andrew incredulously, "What did you call me? And what is he? You would have me apologize to the likes of him? Did you hit your head? Speaking such nonsense!"She rushed over to check him, accidentally touching his left arm. Andrew shrieked in pain."My arm...it's broken..." He had turned ghostly pale, drenched in cold sweat.Though Jason had been merciful, Steven Martin was from the underworld, one of Jason's own men. Some retribution was needed to establish proper authority. Breaking Andrew's arm ensured no easy recovery."What is going on here? A fall
Thrashing the fallen was her favorite, and she felt extremely gratified hurling curses as they left. It was as if she was venting years of resentment. Let's see if they would still dare to remain so cocky!As soon as she turned around, Mary Martinez's sharp eyes seemed to spot something, lighting up as she discovered a brand new BMW i8 amongst the vehicles, exuding luxury. "Since when did our neighborhood have such a nice car? Could a nouveau riche have moved in?" Mary Martinez remarked.James Brown's eyes shone brightly. The car had captured his soul. He immediately rushed over to feel and examine it excitedly. "It must be a rich relative visiting one of the families. This car costs over a million dollars!""Wow, over a million? If only this was our family's car!" Mary Martinez said enviously. Susan shook her head helplessly. Suddenly noticing a new car key in Jason's hand that she hadn't seen before, and clearly not a key for an electric car, she curiously asked, "A new car key?
The entire sixth floor was high end patient rooms, completely packed with people registered under Dr. Cox. With great difficulty, Jason and Kyle made their way to the front desk. Jason heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Please help me find Roger Cox."The nurse gave him a blank stare, as if looking at an idiot. Scoffing, she shooed him away impatiently. "Go wander wherever you please. Dr. Cox isn't someone you can see just because you want to. Are you crazy? Psychiatry is on the third floor.""Um...I really do know Dr. Cox. I'm not lying, you can ask him," Jason said awkwardly.But just as he finished speaking, a man in a suit waiting in line snorted disdainfully, "And I know Dean Butler. So what? I still have to obediently line up here like everyone else.""I do know Dean Butler," Jason answered innocently."Hmph, and this Emerald City Hospital is my family's business! Who here doesn't know Dean Butler? The problem is he doesn't know us. Tricks like yours are useless nonsense." The
Stephen Wright's face flushed red as a monkey's bottom, the words seemingly stuck in his throat. Gaining an extra ancestor out of the blue was unbelievable for anyone."Ancestral...Ancestral Master...""Mm, good boy," Jason laughed loudly. Seeing this, Roger Cox chuckled, "Forget it, it's too much for him right now. But after witnessing your skills, he'll definitely be convinced.""Oh right, you've always been curious about that senior who saved lives with a hairpin right? This is Mr. Gray, understand now?"Hearing this, Stephen Wright was first shocked, then doubtful. He still didn't really believe Jason.Although his master had told him about this senior before, and he had always respected him to the utmost, in his eyes that senior must have been some reclusive expert. How could it be someone as young as Jason?Moreover, according to his master's words, that expert's skills were no weaker than his own master's, even superior. He was said to be on par with the current Lee Divine Ph
Jason's brows furrowed at this abrupt question, seemingly surprised as he nodded...Outside, Stephen and Kyle waited anxiously, wondering what they were talking about. Eventually Jason emerged looking conflicted, heaving a long sigh.From Elder Harris, he had found out much about Metropolis Central, like how his elder brother Justin Wesley was actually at death's door now. Reportedly, he urgently needed a bone marrow transplant from a matching donor, an extremely rare type. If not for their mother Mandy's objections, the Elder would have already sent people to bring him back by force. As his younger brother, his marrow would naturally be compatible. The Elder was willing to sacrifice even himself for the sake of his eldest son. He had never cared for Jason at all!But just then, a panicked nurse suddenly rushed over shouting, "Dr. Wright, the patient in Room 303 is having another attack, worse than before! Please hurry and take a look!""Room 303?" At this, Kyle was first stunned,
