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

    "Be careful, dodge quickly!" Sean and his brothers cried out desperately. Furious as they were, the old monster's skills were formidable. His leg techniques were virtually peerless among the Northern Faction, akin to a grandmaster's. Jason was stronger than Sean, but not enough to face Taekwondo's grandmaster head on. Such arrogance would only lead to utter defeat or death. Even their own worn master shook his head helplessly. Frank was dozens of times stronger than Larry. Unless the boy had grasped the essence of BJJ under a grandmaster's tutelage, he stood no chance.To think he could win was sheer fantasy!"Master, cripple this scum! Avenge senior brother Larry! Break his limbs and sever his tendons, leave him bedridden for life!" "An insignificant Krav Maga whelp dares insult Taekwondo lineage? I'll slaughter the ignorant fool!" Larry grit his teeth bitterly, venom in his voice. "Master, kill that mongrel!"Amidst their enraged roars from all sides, the crushing killing intent

    Jason had made a call earlier. Could that have been related? While they'd prefer to believe it was just an unfortunate mishap, the circumstances seemed too clean, as if guided by an outside force."Gurgle...gurgle..." Meanwhile, Jason took deep breaths, silently sensing the changes within his body. The mystical chant's enhancements came and went quickly, leaving weakness in their wake.But this time was different. He had tried segmenting the power output rather than unleashing it all at once. The attempt was very successful - he had won the bout without draining himself to the point he couldn't stand. Still, exhaustion lingered. More refinement was needed.Sensing the stares upon him, Jason was unsurprised. Frank and his six companions' "accident" had of course been his doing. Showing mercy to one's enemies was cruelty to oneself. Hands clasped behind his back, he mused, "What do you want to know? What will you ask?"Sean had barely opened his mouth when his master quickly pulled h

    The old master also nodded along. In his eyes, it was impressive enough for someone as young as Jason to have such incredible martial skill. But such miraculous medical arts were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Jason could only shake his head helplessly, not bothering to explain further. He simply told Sean his hand would recover in days. By now, several cars had arrived outside to pick up the disciples, with Kyle leading. As acquaintances, he and Sean exchanged bittersweet sentiments - so much had changed in just a few days!The old master refused to leave, content to sweep floors here for the rest of his years, watching his disciples grow. They understood his thinking, knowing words couldn't sway the man. They could only promise to visit often, leaving together in the car fleet, fading into the distance.All that remained was a lone, aged figure.Steven had been working diligently, already preparing the mansion purchase. The Eastern District was the economic heart of Emerald

  • The Rise of the Useless Son-in-Law   Chapter 98: Old Wesley

    The mansion was bought, but still needed some furnishing before they could move in, likely several more days. He had to regain Susan's trust in that time.Trust was so precious to him because of past experience. If his grandfather had trusted him all those years ago, he would never have been exiled for a decade. Now, his eldest brother was gravely ill, needing a bone marrow transplant - as his brother, Jason was the ideal donor.Yet when this issue arose, the first thing his grandfather considered was having Jason sacrifice himself to save his eldest brother, regardless of whether he lived or died.Jason wasn't surprised by this cold-blooded decision. His grandfather, Old Wesley, was a callous, ruthless, honorless man who had never cared for him, only the elder brother. What did surprise Jason was his mother unexpectedly helping him this time. If not for her blocking, his grandfather would have already sent people to collect him by force. How could his vicious sister-in-law not have

    "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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

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 -

    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
