The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 85: Chance Encounter with Emily
"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

Jason frowned. Was she too embarrassed to ask him? After all, their relationship had only just begun to improve. Money issues were always sensitive between spouses."Oh right, those two uncles of yours are really shameless. They'll do anything to force Susan out, wandering around goofing off instead of working. Besides that, Runhe and several other Brown subsidiaries have been bleeding money. New projects lack funding to even start. Susan is so frustrated, full of capability but unable to use it.Those uncles just want her to fail. Now they're actively causing trouble, not letting Susan have any chance of success." Emily was furious about this.Hearing this, Jason roughly understood. The Runhe incident had broken the Brown family's cash flow. No wonder the old man agreed to let Susan take over, it was just pushing this hot potato onto her.Now it seemed he was setting her up to fail by making her Chairman. "What about bank loans and aid from Macro Vision Group?" Jason asked.Emily w
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 88: One Billion Dollar Investment
"Mr. Hill?" Susan was puzzled, never having heard of him.Susan was puzzled but still quite interested since it was an investor. Maybe he could really help so she wouldn't have to trouble Jason. Once I gain control of Brown Group, we can join forces and make a fortune."If everyone in your company was as talented and visionary as Robert, Brown Group would surely thrive in Emerald City and even all of Central Area," came a steady voice, laughing.Hearing this, Susan's heart sank. Robert Brown again. Was she being intercepted?Why wouldn't a single bank or investor in Emerald City work with her? It was because of his sabotage, blocking her at every turn and ensuring her failure.Susan sighed dejectedly. But she still had to meet them, or else give them ammunition to use against her. Pushing open the door, she saw Robert Brown, Margaret Brown and the rest, their triumphant provocation evident.As if saying - let's see what you can do.I knew these two would be up to no good.Just as she
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 89: Paradise on Earth
"According to the culprit, Mr Henderson had his eyes on that land but couldn't outbid Macro Vision. So he used these dirty tricks, going daily to the water source near that land to contaminate it. Really sinister." Steven even felt like cursing."Oh, and I found some photos of you on that guy. Looks like Mr Henderson has been watching you since we went to his underground arena. What should we do? Should we take care of him? We'll be passive if we don't strike first." Jason frowned. So he had been targeted after all? He pondered briefly before murmuring, "It likely won't be easy for you guys to deal with him. Find out his location for me. As for the rest...leave it to me!"It wasn't that Jason wanted violence. But Mr Henderson was extremely malicious - not only targeting him, but also provoking Macro Vision and poisoning 87 people. Several had already lost their lives, dying unjustly. Even Kyle's mother was nearly a victim.Since it had come to this, there was no need for mercy. C
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 90: Misunderstanding
The next moment, Jason retracted his hands, revealing two silver needles glinting between his fingers.This move seemed mystical but Jason didn't actually find it that extraordinary. At least in his opinion. During his years of wandering, he had witnessed countless true masters.Of course, in his experience so far, Master's skills remained the most unfathomable. It was a pity his whereabouts were unknown.The only other one was "Steel".Even in the entirety of Metropolis Central, few could match him.In his hands, any supple object became a deadly steel blade, an instrument of slaughter, unstoppable. Jason stepped out. Jonathan Henderson still remained oblivious, leering lustfully at the frolicking beauties in the bathroom, fantasizing lewdly. He would definitely enjoy them properly later."Teehee..." But just then, a scar-faced underling suddenly cried in alarm, "Who's there?""Someone here?" Even Jonathan Henderson was badly shocked.Jason regarded him coldly with contempt, as if

"Then explain it to me." Susan fixed an intense stare on him, as if hoping for a lifeline. But faced with her questioning, Jason fell silent. At that moment, Mary and James charged out, overhearing the conversation. They immediately started hurling abuse at Jason. "You worthless scum, how dare you go whoring around! Who gave you the gall?""We're getting a divorce today. Get out of my house. Hand over all your bank cards and car keys too." Mary had been waiting for a chance like this. Now she could drive his nice cars! She wanted him out on the streets.Yet she conveniently forgot her willingness to accept Andrew Taylor, who already had a child, while absolutely condemning Jason for simply going to Paradise on Earth once and doing nothing at all. But to Mary's shock, Susan shook her head. "Those things belong to him. I don't want them.""Foolish girl, those are luxury cars! Don't refuse them for no good reason!" Mary said anxiously. That BMW i8 was worth nearly $200,000.But S
The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law Chapter 92: Sean's Fate
Yet he also felt doubtful. As the saying goes, men understand men best. For Jason to go to Paradise on Earth for women and pleasure didn't seem realistic. A man insulted and berated as worse than a dog by Mary for three years, yet he never talked back once. With such restraint, would he really be ruled by lust?As Jason watched Susan leave, he lingered downstairs for a long time before picking up his phone. Then he saw Emily's message explaining everything. So Peter Cook had seen him by accident after all.Just his luck for this to happen!With a sigh, Jason dialed Steven Martin. "Find me a nice villa." He didn't want to split from Susan. One, their current home was too shabby. Two, Mary made too much trouble. No one liked living under someone else's roof. If they moved, it would be together, as a surprise for her.Steven readily agreed, but then hesitated nervously. "There's some trouble taking over the fight club. It won't be easy to control." "And I can't figure out who's caus

Chapter 381: Conclusion
"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

"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

"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
