“Someone from the Henkel Family?” Jason’s eyes were slightly squinted.“Let’s be straightforward. Are you the person who did that to Fred?” Fred’s uncle asked Jason“Indeed.” Jason nodded as a response. He had no intentions to hide that fact from the beginning. He would seem to be at a disadvantage if he was suppressing that fact since it would look like he was afraid of the Ankle Family.In this world, Jason had never feared anyone.‘What an amateur.’ Fred’s uncle was joyous in his heart. It would save him lots of words and effort since Jason had admitted it honestly.“It’s easy to cause conflicts but hard to resolve them. Fred was in the wrong back then, but now he had already received sufficient punishment. Our family will disregard all your past transgressions if you cure him. What about it?” Fred’s uncle asked Jason.“Aha.” Jason laughed as a response. His tone was filled with mockery.When Fred’s uncle’s expression was about to turn green, Jason finally spoke, “Disregard a
“Is the second uncle not here yet?” Madison asked her father.“There’s some traffic, but he should be arriving soon. Go inside with Jason first, and we’ll wait here.” Madison’s father smiled.“No need. Since the person arriving is an elder, it will be unbecoming for us to enter first.” Jason shook his head and smiled.He clearly understood what his father-in-law was worried about, and it was the fact that he was currently far too affluent. However, since the arriving person was his elder, he was obliged to wait outside. He knew that respecting one’s elders was an attribute that everyone should possess. Filial responsibility had played the most important role in shaping the various kingdoms and dynasties since ancient times in the realm of Adria. In his opinion, showing filial responsibility was an essential attribute that every human in this world must possess.When it came to treating his elders, Jason had always shown sufficient respect. Of course, elderly people that were unde
Madison was similar to her father. Madison’s father was also not a high-profile person, and he had always acted in a humbling manner.“That’s good then. Your father doesn’t have much ambition, and he is still the same despite toiling for so many years. On the other hand, you have a lot of enthusiasm and drive. Not bad. If my position gets confirmed this time, it will be more or less helpful to your company.” Madison’s second uncle smiled.There was no need to hide anything since they were all family. Of course, his position was not secured yet since there were many complications involved. Despite the fact that he might be assigned the same great position, the power he would attain would be vastly different.Having a higher government position does not make the person more affluent. Most of the time, it depended on what that person was responsible for.Of course, when those words were spoken, Madison’s parents somewhat felt awkward. On the other hand, Madison smiled faintly and said
As he spoke, he sat down the cup of wine and walked outside. “Must be an important matter.” Looking at Jason, who was raising his cup, the father-in-law tried to amuse him.Jason smirked and was not bothered by it. He felt that his father-in-law was a little sensitive about it since he was not that unreasonable. Jason would not instigate conflict at the slightest hint of provocation.“Let’s eat, forget about it.” Madison’s second aunt spoke.Since they were all family, it was not required to show much courtesy. Thus, the few of them enjoyed their meals. The phone call took a long while, as it lasted for about half an hour before Madison’s second uncle had returned.Upon returning, his initially enthusiastic appearance was now incredibly downcast. He sat on his seat without a word and drank all the white wine in his cup with a single gulp. He then heavily slammed the wine cup onto the table and let out a cold grunt.Obviously, whatever news heard from the phone was not good since i
The father-in-law and mother-in-law listened cautiously, while Madison smiled earnestly. She was already accustomed to the way that Jason and Silas interacted with each other.“All right, I got it. I’ll ask about it later. Now you’re asking me to do every trivial errand.” Silas spoke exasperatedly.It was not a bold claim from Silas since Madison’s second uncle’s level was vastly inferior when compared to Silas.“Then what else can I do? I only know you.” Jason smiled.“All right, just wait for the news! I’m very busy here.” Silas said.Since the loudspeaker was on, everyone in the room had naturally heard it. Madison’s family had been indifferent to it, but Madison’s second uncle was somewhat nervous. Seeing that Jason was stuffing the phone in his pocket, he thought that the attitude was not befitting what a person should have when managing affairs. “That’s it?” Looking at Madison’s second uncle’s face full of trepidation, Jason could only smirk.“Don’t worry about it! This i
Jason answered the call after going outside. Diana’s voice was heard. “All Ghost Brethren had fallen. Heaven’s Gate is going to send out six acolytes that will arrive in Mediterrania tomorrow.” After the brief sentence, the call was hung up.“They move quickly,” Jason smirked.He felt that the matter with the Henkel Family had not been resolved yet, but Heaven’s Gate was already coming.“I am a tiny boat among the waves!” Jason sighed in realization.However, he had not considered it to be a serious issue. As long as he was aware of it happening, it was not considered difficult to him at all. When compared to him restricting himself when dealing with the Henkel Family, he was glad to kill everyone that came from Heaven’s Gate simply.Since they were nothing but several Grandmasters, he knew they would amount to nothing in front of him.Putting the phone in his pocket, Jason did not return posthaste. He felt that there were some things that he should not tell the family. Moreover,
The meal concluded eventfully. The entire family went to Madison’s home directly since Madison’s second uncle had recently arrived and had no place to live yet.Madison’s second uncle was slightly tipsy and chatted with Jason for a long while, making him slightly incredulous. He sometimes had no idea how to extend conversations that were meant to build rapport with him.Meanwhile, Madison could see that Jason was in an awkward spot. She made an excuse to let Jason bathe himself and prepare to sleep.“Big brother! Your son-in-law is truly impressive!” After Jason had left, Madison’s second uncle told Madison’s father.“Absolutely. Speaking of which, I have treated him badly before. Now that I think of it, I really shouldn’t do it. I’m glad that this child has not held any grudges.” Madison’s father sighed.After drinking alcohol, he was able to say things that he had suppressed from the bottom of his heart to his own brother.“Just treat him better in the future. But looking at th
“How did you know that?” Madison asked.“You’re so beautiful, and your man isn’t bad looking either. It’s impossible for us to have an ugly child.” Jason rubbed his chin.“But, haven’t we gone ahead of ourselves? Shouldn't we explore the process personally first.” Jason smiled.“You’re asking to die!” Madison grunted coyly while immensely blushed. She obviously knew what the process was.Jason only chuckled while looking at Madison’s flustered expression. Since it was only a matter of time before it happened, he thought it was useless for her to be shy about it.They separated when the car reached Allure International. Jason then drove directly to the medical center to find Dustin and the two women standing together when he entered. When they saw Jason had arrived, it was even the rare occasion when they carried a hint of anxiety on their faces.“What’s going on?” Jason asked the trio.Dustin handed an invitation to Jason. “Invitation to combat?” Jason smiled after reading it.
