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.
After Fred’s uncle had left, Raphael rushed over in a hurry. It was obvious that Dustin had informed him beforehand.Both people walked to the backyard. “Master, let me handle this matter in your stead!” Raphael told Jason.With a sturdy foundation, Raphael’s cultivation improved at light speeds after entering the Grandmaster Realm. His foundation was firm, and his aura was assertive. Jason nodded in satisfaction at the site.“Martial leaderboard? Could there be a heavenly leaderboard at the subsequent level? Since when did it exist? Why don’t I know about it?” Jason asked casually with a hint of curiosity.Sixty years had passed with the flick of a finger. It was considered as a gap in time for Jason. Obviously, the martial arts community had changed drastically since there was no such leaderboard when he was around back then.“Master, this is a list that was made about thirty years ago. The martial leaderboard recorded the exemplary individuals of the Grandmaster Realm, but it h
“Whatever, let’s not talk about that. I’ll go and meet Bert Sky tonight.” Jason spoke calmly.He did not wish to take action personally, but sadly, nobody around him was capable.After living for the past 5,000 years, he had taken numerous apprentices. If only a single one of them were around, he would not need to do anything personally.Sadly, those people could not escape the heartless rivers of time. Now that Raphael was the only one who remained. Yet, he was unbecoming. He had only been able to enter the Grandmaster Realm at this old age with Jason’s assistance. Since he was still Jason’s apprentice, Jason could not say anything much to prevent Raphael from being ashamed.“Master, you will definitely succeed once you attend to it,” Raphael told Jason.Jason shook his head as a response. He smirked lightly, then went into the medical center at his own pace.“Could it be that master has no confidence at all?” Looking in the direction where Jason went, Raphael could not help but
