BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: Did he get smarter?
"Old man, hand us all of your wealth and we will give you a painless death." Jason swung his sword in the air and spoke in a deadly cold voice.
Jason directly threatened; the idea of letting them go didn't even cross his mind.
"Please! Sir, please take this and let me go other than this, I have nothing on me." Jasmine's grandfather spoke in a shaky voice, while throwing a bag filled with spirit stones in Jason's direction.
Slap!
"Do you think I stupid old man?" Jason didn't bother to catch the bag that the old man threw but moved towards Jasmine's grandfather at an incredible speed and slapped him across the face.
"Argh!" Jasmine's grandfather cried out in pain. The slap had sent him flying towards the other end of the carriage.
The old man was just a normal human, who had never cultivated in his life.
The slap of Someone like Jaoson was akin to a hammer hitting his face. If not for the fact that Jason had gone easy, the old man's skull would have popped like a watermelon.
"Grandfather!" Jasmine cried out in shock, unable to process the situation. She rushed towards him with disbelief written all over her face.
"Argh!" the old man suddenly coughed up blood mixed with a few broken teeth.
"You, bad man!"
"Why did you hit my grandfather?" Jasmine yelled hysterically, her face filled with anger and panic.
David looked at this scene from the sidelines with a poker face, inwardly he was shocked as he watched Jason's fearsome performance.
The guy in front of him acted meekly and now he was ruthlessly pummeling the old man.
The difference in treatment was too significant, like heaven and earth.
And given by the luxurious appearance of the carriage the old man was riding, he was rich as well.
Yet his money couldn't help the old when he needed it most.
David suddenly realized, money was worthless, if it was not backed by his own power.
He had to strike a good balance between wealth and power.
Golden mean is the golden rule, he couldn't afford to ignore one for the sake of another.
While thinking, David's gaze fell on the girl inside the carriage and his eyes narrowed.
The mana around the girl was flowing in a strange fashion, like a mother gently caressing her child.
Curious, he asked for a status report from the bank.
In the next moment, a window filled with text popped up in front of him.

David blinked and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
No cultivation and such a high comprehension of laws?
Moreover, the remark which was especially longer than usual-was the bank hinting at something?
Immediately, David's eyes flashed. He instantly arrived in front of Jason with a flash of lightning and slapped him twice.
Slap! Slap!
Two slaps filled with incredible power echoed outside the carriage causing the rowdy Tiger Gang outside instantly to fall silent.
"Senior?" Jason face was filled with confusion as he rubbed the red imprint on his cheeks, not understanding why David had suddenly slapped him twice.
"What Senior, are you stupid?"
"How dare you slap a elderly peroson in front of me, you rotten piece of shit." David furiously shouted, his lips twitching in anger.
While his face was filled with anger and righteousness indignation, his eyes said something else entirely.
"Ah! What did I do…"
Jason Master Adapter Crystallization of Life wasn't just for show; he understood the message David was trying to convey with his eyes and hurriedly rushed towards the elder and bowed.
"Hey you, what are you looking at quickly call the medic." Jason pointed at one of the gang members and shouted, while he himself was wiping the Jasmine's grandfather mouth with handkerchief.
The gang members looked at this one eighty degree shift in attitude with silence and hurriedly complied; they were used to their boss' erratic behavior after working with him for so long.
However, The innocent Jasmine was having trouble comprehending the situation. She blankly looked at Jason, who was wiping the blood with an earnest expression, acting as if he wasn't the one who slapped him a moment ago.
"We can't afford to wait."
"Who knows how long it will take for the medic to arrive? Let me take a look myself."
David grimly spoke and checked the elders pulse, at the same time signaling Jason to back away.
It didn't matter how much Jason tried to act gentle and kind; he would always remain a thorn in the girl's heart. It was better to send him away from her eyes.
And right after Jason moved away, Jasmine's expression, still pale, but relaxed visibly.
David looked at her from the corner of his eyes and afterwards didn't pay much attention to her. If he directly started talking with her now, it would be counterproductive and make her suspicious.
"He had lost so much blood, where is that dammn medic."
"I am afraid if medic didn't arrive on time…"
David cried out in a sad voice, his face filled with anguish and guilt. Acting as if he was the reason behind the old man situation.
"God please show mercy on him." David prayed in the end, while stealthily looking at Jasmine, whose face had turned deathly pale after hearing David's words.
"Please save my grandfather, please." She spoke in low voice while sobbing.
Jasmine's mind was in a turmoil; she was confused and panicked, tears had started to flow down her cheeks.
After hearing her words, a small smile appeared on his face but he hurriedly suppressed it.
At this time, a man holding a bag in his hand filled with various bottles appeared and attempted to enter inside the carriage but was stopped by Jason.
"You stay here." Jason spoke in a hushed voice and pushed him back.
This man was none other than the medic who had been urgently called. Although he was confused, he still complied with Jason's orders and moved back.
