A man dressed in regular clothing stood beside the river flickering with cascades of light. He looked to be around the age of 25, and his hair was slightly ruffled. His eyes looked wise beyond his years, carrying a glimpse of emotion, as he looked at the ceaseless flow of water in the river.Beside him stood a young girl with a pretty face and pearly white teeth. Although her beauty would attract everyone who cast their gaze at her, the expression she carried would intimidate anyone who dared to.“Go back! You used to understand the common language! Have you gone crazy?” The girl spoke with a defeated tone while looking at the man.‘This idiot had been sitting here for three days! What does he want? Is he looking to be killed?’ she thought.Jason Sky lifted his head and took a glance at the girl with calm and collected eyes.“What are you looking at? If you really wanted to die, just jump! It would be way better than acting stupid here,” The girl said with a vile tone.Jason Sky
“Family gathering?” Jason’s eyes glinted in amusement. He always had the worse experiences when it came to these family gatherings. Since everyone was better than him, it was natural that he would be used as a comparison to flaunt their accomplishments.He shrugged as he watched his sister-in-law leave‘I must attend the gathering.’As the sun set, the darkness of the night fell upon the unoccupied river. A piercing wail, calling for help, cuts through the darkness.Jason subconsciously looked at the source of the noise. He, after all, was the greatest martial artist and doctor. Since time began, one’s ability in the healing and martial arts were not to be separated from one another. One could not exist without the other.“Please, save my husband!” A woman with bloodstained clothes rushed towards Jason. There was a wrecked Mercedes Benz located not too far away, devastated by a crash. A man in a suit laid on the side of the road. His chest was barely rising, and he was about to su
“Blaker, find that young man and send him my business card. When the young master has recovered, I will host a feast for him to show our gratitude.” An elderly man with a solemn face spoke in a deep voice. He was Elder Greene, part of the Greene Family, one of the most influential families in Mediterrania. As the elder of the family, he was the most influential figure in that area.He was very grateful for the young man, his daughter-in-law described, for his intervention and saving his son from the brink of death. Moreover, a man with such an ability would make a worthy friend for the Greene Family. Regardless, it would be good to show his appreciation towards Jason Sky.In the hotel, Jason had just entered the private dining hall before hearing a shrewd voice. “This no-good son-in-law actually dared to make us wait. How arrogant!” From the voice, Jason immediately knew it was his mother-in-law’s shrewd sister.“It was a mistake to choose such a person to be our son-in-law.” His mo
The truth was everyone else had also heard of the commotion. Jason merely reacted quicker by walking towards it.“So what if you walked quickly? Not like you could solve the problem in this manner,” A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses spoke lightly.“Hank, there should be nothing wrong with someone looking out for her husband?” An indescribably weird voice rang. The tone, however, was filled with apathy.The one who spoke was a man with the demeanor of a rich upstart. He wore a full suit with slicked-back hair and a glimmering gold watch on his wrist. Jason, with his levels of cultivation, could naturally hear the dialogue between those two.The guy with the gold-rimmed glasses was Hank Akers, the second son-in-law of the eldest uncle of the Dale Family—he had a little influence. As for the guy with the slicked-back hair was Clark Hobbs, the first son-in-law of the eldest uncle, who worked in the real estate industry with numerous assets under his name.Jason mostly knew the motivat
“I hate anyone who calls me a rascal. It is an insult to my identity. You’ve got guts, kid.” Doug stared at Jason and smirked.A group of black-clothed men soon approached from afar. Clark could not help but tremble as he saw what was happening. He hinted at Madison to leave while he spoke, “Mr. Buck, I won’t bother you. I will take my leave.”“It was I who caused this ruckus. I will not leave just like that,” Madison said stubbornly.He took the opportunity to avert Doug’s attention from Madison to Jason, to ensure her safety. He had done a fine job at that, it was necessary, and his family would have approved of his actions. They could not afford to provoke Doug. As for Jason, he did not care if he lived or died.“Maddie…” Miranda’s mother muttered, sounding extremely dissatisfied with her.Hearing Miranda’s responses, Jason's slight smirk had found its way up onto his calmed face. Even if she had not possessed any romantic feelings towards him, the action she took to protect hi
The man in question did not seem to be anyone distinguished, but the person he represented was one. The Greene Family, they were one of the most influential families in Mediterrania. He announced his presence meant that he was representing the will of the Greene Family. Although Doug was influential, he could only bow his head when facing the actual ‘royalty’ in town.“The elder is here?” Doug asked in a hushed tone while looking at young Blaker.“He is not. I am here to manage something in his stead,” Blaker responded with a smirk on his face.“Whatever is it, I’m willing to help,” Doug solemnly replied. He had hoped to create a bond with the Greene Family; although they knew of each other, he could barely be considered as acquaintances with the Greene Family.Everyone had halted their actions at this point; even the ones making phone calls had stopped altogether. They are all dazed with amazement when looking at the well-dressed man. They wondered who the person that made Doug ob
The truth was he did not know of Arthus Greene, the person named on the business card.“Then why would they help you?” Miranda spoke her mind. She somehow felt that her future brother-in-law had changed, but she could not put her finger on where.“Mistaken identity?” Jason saw the sympathetic glances of the family members and smirked.“If you don’t want to talk about it, fine!” Madison’s aunt groaned. She believed that Jason was purposely hiding it.Jason shrugged. ‘That’s life in the current day and age, nobody would believe you when you speak the truth.’“Might be someone he hired! Nowadays, some people would hire someone to act like someone else.” Someone spoke mockingly, and it was the eldest aunt’s son-in-law, Jordan Sesto. He had seen events like these frequently happen on the internet.After he said that, everyone displayed doubt as they looked at Jason. After all, due to Jason’s past reputation, he was completely deserving of being doubted.“Jason! Elder Greene said he w
“Really? Then how did you manage to meet the Greene Family?” Madison smiled coldly.“Elder Greene had invited you? Do you think anyone could just attend their feast? And you promised to bring this many people along? Could you not have made a more believable lie? Will you hire someone else to pretend as Elder Greene when the time comes? I know you have been dealing with some issues, but I don’t want you to change other people’s opinions about you this way.” Madison spoke in a disappointed tone.“I didn’t hire someone to do an act.” Jason looked at Madison and frowned. “And I have never felt bad when I’m beside you. I do not care what they think of me. What I care about is what you think of me. If you don’t believe me, go ask them yourself.” Jason handed the business card over to Madison.Looking at Madison’s stunning face, his eyes showed a glimpse of gentleness. “I did not amount to anything back then and always caused you trouble. Now, I’m afraid that you would think that I’m too o
