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,
"With over a dozen doctors including my master unable to determine the cause or treat it, you actually claim you can cure it in one move? How utterly shameless and pompous! Let's see what amazing treatment you have." Stephen was both angry and incredulous.Even the current Lee Divine Physician, his grandmaster, would never dare make such a boast. Even Roger was shocked speechless now. "Mr Gray, this concerns life and death. Don't joke around. How can you solve it in one move?"Even with his experience, he found it utterly impossible. The Revival Acupuncture Techniques were just emergency relief methods. But at this moment, Kyle knelt heavily on the ground, tears in his eyes. "I believe in Mr Gray. Sir, if you can cure my mother, I'll repay you for life, even if I have to be your ox or horse."Jason quickly helped him up with a wry smile. "It's a doctor's duty to save lives. No need for ox or horse, just give me a set of silver needles and your mother will be fine soon." His expre
"That's right. Our tests didn't reveal anything abnormal, no signs of poisoning at all," Roger added, equally baffled. This was the biggest mystery.Jason gazed at the blackening drop of blood, now stinking faintly. "In our terms it's poisoning, but in modern medicine, it should be contamination leaching into the body," he mused."Many illnesses stem from tainted water sources, slowly seeping into the blood and manifesting as bizarre symptoms." "You mean their village well was contaminated?" Roger exclaimed in realization.Even Stephen was shocked into silence. He had seen the reports - most patients were from that village, some severe, some mild. It made sense.He suddenly turned to Kyle and asked, "Did anything major happen in your village recently?""Yes, our land got bought up by Macro Vision Group for development. Many have already moved away. Our family also got money from it, very fair prices, everyone said it was good." "Could it be Macro Vision Group polluted the water so
Jason froze in shock. Who? Peter Cook? Wasn't he the young master of the Cook Family, one of the top five families in Central Area, on par with the Sanchez and Murphy families?"You're from the Cook Family?" Jason asked Emily in surprise.Emily faltered, her expression dimming. The secret was out. Not even Susan knew about this. She had been too naive, believing Jason could help her. Even if he wanted to, he was no match for the Cook Family. She knew their power all too well. Even the Brown Family didn't dare offend them. What could Jason do? Better not get him into trouble.Just as she was about to explain to her brother, Peter Cook furiously pointed at Jason. "Get him! Beat him to death!""Yes, Young Master!" The burly bodyguards charged forward as one, movements swift and skilled. Ordinary men would be finished in one exchange against them.Seeing this, Jason frowned. "Friend, don't go overboard. I'm just passing by.""Just passing by? Pushing away responsibility so cleanly, acti
