After Madison was hurt, Jason would follow through with his statements; even the Lord himself could not do it. He had lived for 5,000 years and had never made a false claim. In the perspective of other people, Jason might have been too outspoken in behavior. But in his own opinion, he felt that he was keeping a relatively low profile, as he had not done anything else towards Dave on the spot. He was wary of the laws of the land, and he also did not want to stand out too much. However, considering his abilities, he had numerous ways to give Dave a worse feeling than death itself. The night sky was still as a lake as he looked at the beautiful companion beside him. Jason held a gentle smile on his face, while his eyes showed incredible tenderness, he asked lightly, “Are you afraid?” Madison had not abandoned him when nobody else thought that he would end up well. That alone was reassuring enough for him. “I was afraid at first, but not anymore after seeing that you’re so calm.” S
“You know some martial arts. No wonder that you are so arrogant!” Dave could not help but snort after witnessing the scene. Although he was shocked, he would not be easily flustered. At this moment, the man standing behind Dave stepped forward. He squared off with Jason and stared intensely. “I told you not to offend people willy-nilly. If I weren’t here this time, you would be in big trouble.” The man spoke calmly as he had his back turned towards Dave. “It won’t be any different even with you being here.” Jason’s mouth curled into a slight smirk. He spoke before allowing Dave to respond. In this world, only a few survivors had the privilege to discuss martial abilities with him after the great war that had occurred sixty years ago. “How arrogant!” Jason had only stated the facts in his own opinion. To his opponent, the man felt that he was behaving too arrogantly. The man initially wanted only to teach him a lesson since he was familiar with Dave’s infamous behavior. But now,
“This is a martial skill passed down from my family. How do you know of it?” The young man showed a hint of awe in his expression as he looked at Jason. It was a secret only shared within his family, and he was only taught a portion of the martial skill because his great grandfather had adored him. It was a shame that he only learned up to the sixth skill. “Is Raphael Lindburg still alive?” Jason calmly asked instead of answering the question. Raphael Lindburg was the name of that apprentice that he took. The young man he was facing was clearly the descendent of Raphael. If that was not the case, then it meant that Raphael had gone against the oath sworn towards Jason. Then he would have to retaliate towards Raphael. Of course, if Raphael was forced to do so, he would need to take revenge for his dear apprentice. “How did you come to know my great grandfather’s name?” Raphael was the family’s patriarch until now, but he had not shown his face for many years. Hence, there were
Madison’s beautiful eyes blinked as she stared at Jason. Her face was turning red in an instant. “You, what are you doing?” Madison whispered quietly as she lowered her head. Jason’s mood that he set was destroyed. “I wanted to ask you about where we would stay tonight?” Jason scratched his head; his face showed a rare expression of awkwardness. Looking at how he acted just now, she could not help but giggle. She then stood on her toes and gave him a light peck on his face. As the soft lips brushed past his cheek, he was momentarily dazed. Touching the spot that she had kissed just now, he mindlessly stared at the streetlights far away, silently stunned for a long while. “Idiot.” Looking at his absentminded face, she could not help but chuckle. They were definitely not going home at this point, considering how the mother-in-law had acted tonight. The both of them managed to reach a hotel. They planned to book two rooms since they had lived in separate rooms all this time, but
Everyone rushed to restrain Dave. The man tried to heal Dustin and Dave separately. “I can’t do much. It seems that we will have to request an audience with the elder.” He had initially not paid much attention to Dustin's request to speak to the elder since the elder of the Lindburg Family should not be bothered by every trivial request. If the elder agreed to grant an audience to anyone who asked, it would not be a good image for the family as a whole. However, there was no other solution as they could not figure out what was wrong with Dave. The internal energy was going berserk within Dustin’s body, with a chance of disabling him at any moment. Yet, it behaved bizarrely, balancing itself in order not to reach the limit of his body. The Lindburg Family could not do anything about it. Based on the damage caused, they knew that the assailant must be no ordinary person. The moon high up in the sky revealed a small residence within the garden of the Lindburg Residence. When the r
Dustin could not help but tremble after he heard those words. The old man had never been this harsh with him. He recounted the event precisely under the elder’s intense stare. After making sure he had nothing else to add, he lightly nodded, gesturing that he had said everything. The old man’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia as if he was trying to recall something. Dustin waited for a while before finally lost his patience and asked Raphael, “Elder, what about my injuries?” “Endure it on your own! Let destiny decide whether you live or die,” spoke Raphael coldly. Dustin could only lower his head after hearing those words. “You think that you’re so tough, picking fights with everyone whenever possible. You may have learned six of the Eight Skills of Heaven and Earth, but you only mastered the form and not the intent behind it. Your injuries will fully recover once you have fully harnessed the intent of the first four skills.” Raphael grunted. By the time he finished speaking, h
The morning sunshine gently on Jason’s body. Madison smiled as she looked at his side profile. However, she felt exasperated. ‘What have I missed for the past three years!’ The truth was that she had not missed anything from the past three years. Jason was the same person as before, but now he just had lived for 5,000 years and retained the memory. Icy had arrived early at the Stardust Clinic. She was reminded to do so every morning by her grandfather, which annoyed her. She could not deny that Jason was skillful. To fulfill her wish of betraying him in the future, she must be patient. Therefore, she still had to perform her daily task. Someone visited the clinic while she was cleaning. “Is it here?” A slightly shrewd voice sounded. Icy turned around only to see a middle-aged woman and a girl around her age. The middle-aged woman bore an arrogant aura. It would not take much to guess that they were Jason’s mother-in-law and sister-in-law. “Are you sick? If that’s the case, you
Madison’s mother was furious, but not as much as Jason. She was the first person to cause trouble in the Stardust Clinic. If she were not Madison’s mother, he would have given her a fate worse than death. Madison was his deepest attachment, while the title of ‘Stardust Clinic’ was something he held dear for a very long time. Both were things that he would not be willing to part with. “What? Are you disappointed to see me?” spoke Jason calmly as he stared at his mother-in-law. “Jason, you are really ungrateful. You won’t even give me the respect I deserve?” She could not help but grunt. Although she did not know how Jason had survived the encounter last night, she still thought of him as a useless human after being abandoned by the Greene Family. “Respect? Do you deserve respect?” Jason chuckled. Not only did she not care for his safety, but she had not cared about Madison’s well-being as well. Instead, she was eager to reclaim the medical center that had belonged to him. He d
