Chapter 4

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 motivation behind these two people was to establish themselves as superior when being in front of women. He easily discovered such trickery. It was not the first time that they were mocking Jason since he was considered unworthy. A useless person in this world would lose both wealth and women.

As for now, Jason had no time to care about those two. In his opinion, they are nothing but clowns in front of him. In the corridor, a big-sized man was standing in front of Madison. Her distraught-filled eyes made Jason feel bad for her.

“Hey beautiful, it’s just a drink. Why would you reject my kind offer? You can ask around about who I am, Doug Buck.” The man grinned. He looked as if he was going to make Madison do what he wanted. He did not bother to mask the intense desire burning in his eyes.

“I don’t know you,” Madison shook her head and responded.

“You’ll know once we have a drink!” Doug chuckled. The next moment, he extended his arm and tried to grab hers. Madison dodged backward, only to feel her palm landing on another palm. It was not too big, but very warm.

“Where did this rascal come from, you dare to harass my girl?” Jason said as he approached the two. Clark pulled him back and whispered, “Third brother, this is Doug Buck. Not someone that we can mess with.”

Hank slightly shuddered as he looked closely at Doug that had his back turned against him. Only then did he finally recognize that he was a famous character in Mediterrania. Sweat had appeared and started staining his forehead.

At this moment, Jason had stood in front of Madison while staring at Doug, face to face. This was his first time holding Madison’s hand, and it was warm; he felt an indescribable feeling of satisfaction. It was also the first time that Madison felt that her husband was capable of something as she looked at him from behind. However, the feeling only lasted a moment since she realized that she would be the one to patch up the situation. She had not expected Jason to handle anything important, after all.

If he had any bravery within him, he would not behave like a coward for the past three years under Dale Family’s oppression—enduring all manners of discrimination by the other members of the family.

“Who said it? Come out!” Doug was probably drunk by now as he slapped his giant bald head and looked around. Hank hid as Doug yelled out, doing whatever he could to avoid being discovered.

The Dale Family was staring at the scene, unsure of what to do. Their family had earnest resources within Mediterrania, only that it was not big enough compared to others. However, they have heard of Doug Buck.

“Kid, is it you who said that?” Doug’s gaze was fixed on Jason as he asked coldly.

“Yes, it was him. What would you like to do, Mr. Buck? Just let me know.” Clark walked forward. He looked at Doug and asked politely.
