They stayed silent for a while in the car. “Right, you have any ideas on the new product that I asked you to formulate?” Jason was silent. “Hey, I’m talking to you!” Madison angrily pinched Jason’s shoulder. “Didn’t you told me to shut up?” Jason said. “Fine, I’ll allow it. Are you going to ignore me if I tell you not to speak?” She whined coyly. “I’ll need more time to research it. Massaging is the best way.” Jason blinked. “Scram.” She was exasperated. She could never accept giving massages. Jason rolled his eyes as he thought she was not easily satisfied. They returned home and ate dinner. Somehow, the atmosphere was dull and silent, perhaps because Miranda was not around. The old couple was enthusiastic as always, especially since Madison had given them two million dollars. Likely because Madison was unwilling to leave her parents out of her earnings. She had mentioned it to Jason, knowing that he would not be such a petty person. Regardless, money was something tha
“Jason,” Madison called out to Jason cautiously. “It’s nothing.” Jason shook his head and smirked. He could not believe that he had lost his composure despite having lived for 5,000 years. He was unconvinced there were no solutions to his problem since he believed that when there’s a will, there’s a way. He had seen all of the great monarchs of the ancient past. He knew that they were chosen by the Gods or fated to be kings were nothing but fabrications and claims. He knew it was only some people’s deluded convictions as no one was born unique. They achieved their accomplishments due to their unmoved determination. “Let’s go home!” Madison pouted and whispered after seeing that Jason was unhappy. He looked at her wronged expression and smirked. He felt that the expression she made was really adorable. After pinching her puffy cheeks and saw her grew annoyed, he laughed. He then held her thin waist. “Let’s go.” She pouted and lowered her head. Meanwhile, a light smile had ap
The mother and son had left. Jason had seen numerous troubled single-parent children from the past few millennia. Their situation did not move him, but he could not bring himself to be heartless when he saw it everytime. He looked at Madison, who stood still, and felt melancholic. He then raised his head to look at the sky, and spoke gently, “There are no unfortunate people, as unfortunate as the distressed mother and their children.” This had moved Madison, that knew of Jason’s past. “I’ll accompany you on the anniversary this year.” She spoke calmly yet she carried a hint of guilt in her eyes. Jason’s mother’s death anniversary would arrive in some days later. He had never neglected that special day no matter how many hardships he felt in the past three years. Madison had only prepared some offerings back then, and never accompanied him. She reflected on herself and realized that she owed him many things from the past three years. She knew that she was never indisposed ba
In the back hall, Jason looked at Dustin. His aloof gaze had changed into a serious one. Dustin looked at Jason with deliberation as he was unsure of the meaning behind his gaze since the aloof gaze he usually held was no longer there. The next moment, Jason immediately lashed out his palm. Dustin realized he could no longer move and stared at Jason. “Close your eyes. Calm down and circulate your qi,” Jason immediately said. Dustin immediately shut his eyes. He knew that Jason would not do all these things if he wished to cause harm to Dustin. He would not need to do anything, simply telling Raphael was enough to have Dustin killed. His palm smacked Dustin’s body ten times. Only then did Dustin fall on the ground. Jason’s forehead was soaked in tiny beads of sweat. “This is the complete chant of the Eight Styles of Heaven and Earth. Memorize it,” He told Dustin. He had done it since his cultivation level had slightly improved last night. Yet, he knew that it was a long way ahea
Dustin looked at Raphael’s happy expression and felt the same way. With his help, Dustin relearned the Eight Skills of Heaven and Earth. With the entire chant present to serve as the foundation, Dustin’s natural talent, and the teachings offered by Jason, Dustin could only drastically improve. Under Jason’s comprehensive teachings and his daily training, Dustin had a solid basis to work off. At midnight, Dustin’s body emanated a powerful aura. The dirt on the ground flew without wind as Dustin laughed joyously. After being suppressed for a few days, he had finally regained his full strength. His strength had even improved further; hence he could not control his joy. Raphael felt moved, and he knew that the Lindburg Family finally had a capable successor. “Endure my attack.” When he saw Dustin had no place to exert his energy, Raphael chuckled as he appeared before Dustin. They had immediately battled. Dustin, who would always be defeated within ten strikes, had endured thirty s
Icy could not help but smack her lips after seeing this. She had held some expectation from arrogant-looking Dustin since anyone else would be sympathetic towards the weakling and hope that they could succeed for a change. Yet, the reality was that Icy had expected to much, as there were not many unexpected successes in this world. Dustin could only look impressive for a short while before being defeated. After Jason had sat down, Icy served him tea on her own. She knew that she must not copy Dustin’s idiotic actions before being able to revolt against this demon king. Dustin rubbed his head with a painful expression after hitting the floor. He then climbed up and looked at Jason that wore a calm expression. Dustin displayed his usual respectful demeanor and started cleaning up the place with a broom. He somewhat understood why the elder did not say anything. It was not that Raphael was unsure of the outcome but could not bear to tell Dustin that he was stupid. Jason looked at
Jason still felt a little guilty since he had cheated a person with pure intentions. He had live for over 5,000 years. However, according to the experience he learned throughout the years, there were always oddities and prodigies around the world. He felt that he was unworthy to represent Chinese medicine. He knew that he still lacked the qualifications to do so. He might do it when he has perfected his medical abilities, but he would not agree to it until then. He might cause a mockery of himself since there’s always a bigger fish out there. Jason thought that Aklos’ intentions were right, but the methods used were wrong. He was mistaken to believe that he could push Jason to the forefront just like that. Jason was unwilling to accept nor entertain the idea since many risks and factors were associated with it. Of course, although he had made many excuses, the main reason he had rejected it was that he was lazy. Although if push came to shove, Jason knew that he had enough ability
Even old man Aklos was moved by what was happening. Jason’s pair of eternally unmoving eyes were also moistened. “Mommy is happy. I’m happy.” She comforted her son as she cried, knowing that she had waited far too long for this day to come. After the woman calmed down, she placed the child was on the chair. Jason gently pinched the boy’s cheek, who smiled at Jason as a response. “Are you confident?” After reading the boy’s pulse, Aklos looked at Jason with trepidation. If he were the one in charge of the boy, he would most likely give up. He would only prescribe some medicine to alleviate the suffering. “Seventy percent!” Jason spoke calmly. He then gently asked the boy, “What’s your name?” “Kenton Lane. Mommy calls me baby.” The boy answered in a crisp voice. “Good boy.” Jason smiled as he rubbed the boy’s head. “I need some preparations. I’ll need to borrow facilities from a hospital. What I need to do can’t be done here,” He told Aklos, who had many connections when
