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
"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
"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 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
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
"If you also dream of a just world, of living without fear of being crushed by others, then follow me!" Sean paused, hands clenching into white-knuckled fists. Sweat beaded his skin from the excruciating pain, yet still he ground out, "Why should I trust you?""If I remember correctly, you won match after match for Jonathan Henderson, earning him piles of cash. Yet when you were no longer useful, he discarded you from the ring and let others abuse you.""I also know you're filled with anger and hatred, resenting your humiliation. You want vengeance, to return the humiliation a hundredfold. But Jonathan Henderson is already dead by my hand." Jason idly dusted off his clothes."Wha-... What did you say?"Sean froze, shock rolling through him in waves. He whirled around. "You...you killed Jonathan Henderson?"The sensational news of Jonathan's death had already spread through Emerald City. Though Sean felt it poetic justice, he was curious who could wield such power.The truth dawning
"I'm begging you, please..."In but a moment, his forehead split open from the impacts.The blood-covered old master and his dozen disciples cried out in anguish, their despairing howls pitiful yet unable to even lift their heads."Senior Brother, no!"Mere minutes ago, the six elites of the Northern Faction had swept aside their entire Krav Maga lineage.Effortless as snapping withered branches.Especially Larry, whose might was terrifying.As the disciples wailed, an old robed man watched on with a cold sneer, satisfaction and arrogance writ on his face - Larry's master, Frank, famed as the Taekwondo Grandmaster.Years ago, he had triumphed over Sean's master on this very ground, crippling the now bloodied failure. Today, as his proudest disciple neared graduation into the martial world, his first thought had been of Krav Maga for Larry to hone his skills.He had expected a challenge, yet to think they were but useless rabble, with Larry hardly warmed up. But then, Jason stepped f
