2024-10-25 09:07:43Caleb couldn’t help but ask, "Son, what happened to Brooks in the end?"
"Dad, Brooks committed numerous atrocious acts, not just what he did to me all those years ago. His behavior in the company was utterly deplorable, and everyone who worked with him knew how to protect themselves. Under my lead, many people came forward with accusations against him. My lawyers have already started the legal process, and I’m sure you don’t want to hear the gruesome details. But the reality is, Brooks is likely facing either a lifetime in prison or... well, he might just get the death penalty."
Caleb sighed deeply. "Son, you must always walk the straight path. Never stray into crooked or unethical ways."
"Don’t worry, Dad. I know."
"Here, son, have some more soup. Your mother made this especially for you to nourish your body. She knows you’ve been working hard in Washington with Violet, and it’s been exhausting for you. One more bowl,

Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 103: Controlling the Flying Machine
Liam Morgan and the rest of the team laughed as Willy expressed his concerns.“Why are you all laughing? Isn’t my worry legitimate?” Willy asked, a bit embarrassed.“Don’t worry, boss! The protective sphere is filled with a mixture of helium and hydrogen, which allows the flying machine to slowly descend instead of plummeting to the ground. The only thing we need to worry about is making sure the sphere doesn’t land on a fire, or else it could explode,” Liam Morgan explained.Willy let out a sigh of relief. “That’s better. But have you tested this safety feature?”“Of course, boss! Each of the six flying machines has undergone over 20 tests within the factory, and none have failed.”“Incredible! This is really amazing,” Willy said in awe.“No, boss, it’s you who’s amazing! You’re the one who gave us the anti-gravity magnetic levitation
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 104: Panic
As Willy controlled the flying machine, he played around with the speed, sometimes setting it to 200 kilometers per hour, and at other times, cranking it up to 800 kilometers per hour. He zipped across New York City’s skies, thoroughly enjoying the experience.“This is incredible! It’s like being in a sci-fi movie, flying one of those futuristic planes!”Liam Morgan smiled. “Boss, when do you plan on launching the flying machine on the market?”“In a few days, I think. This kind of technology could even be useful for the military. I have a feeling that certain people might need this. By the way, Liam, how long does it take to manufacture one of these magnetic levitation devices?”“It’s quite fast, boss. The factory mass-produces the basic components for magnetic levitation, and Mia and I conduct experiments with the anti-gravity plates in our lab. Traditional maglev technology uses electromagneti
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 105: Bringing His High-Tech Creation
Willy piloted his flying machine into the courtyard, where the high-ranking official and his entourage were already waiting on an open patch of ground. From afar, the guards spotted the flying object speeding toward them. They immediately stepped in front of the official, ready to whisk him away, but he calmly waved them off."Relax, it's just a kid bringing his fancy high-tech toy," the official said casually. Though he maintained a calm exterior, inside, he was completely blown away. A flying machine like this, something straight out of a sci-fi movie, had been brought into reality. Willy was something else—full of secrets and with immense potential.“Are you sure it’s safe?” the nervous secretary asked."Haha, don't worry, the flying machine's landed. Now take a closer look—who’s sitting in it?"Adjusting his glasses, the secretary squinted. "That's...Willy!"Willy parked the flying machine smoothly on the gro
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 106: Cooperation
The leader's office was simple and unadorned—a large desk with a computer and a phone, wooden sofas and chairs, a shelf filled with books and files, and a few paintings on the walls that Willy didn't particularly like."Everyone, leave us. Willy, you stay, and Silas stays too," the leader commanded."Yes, sir!"Even Black Wolf, the leader’s personal bodyguard, exited the office, standing guard outside."Willy, let's discuss how we're going to collaborate," the leader asked eagerly."How about we stick with the same arrangement as before? I’ll provide the core components for the flying vehicles. You can determine their speed, and your team can handle the weaponization. In return, you manufacture 50,000 shells for the flying vehicles each month. My team will provide the design blueprints and specifications for the shells, of course. As for the costs, we can offset them as part of the deal. What do you think?" Willy suggested,

The woman known as "Rose" had just completed her mission in the U.S., where she had eliminated a fugitive. Upon her return to New York, she spotted an old adversary—the top-tier J-country mercenary group known as the Poison Frog Squad. Four of them were present.Alarmed, Rose immediately contacted her superior, Black Wolf. Upon receiving instructions, she cautiously tailed one of the mercenaries, codenamed *Arrow Frog King*, while updating her situation.“Rose, I’ve informed the leader. Stay alert, but most importantly, prioritize your safety. You may be able to handle a one-on-one, but against all four of them? You’ll have no chance. Don’t fall into their trap,” Black Wolf advised.“I know, Black Wolf. I’ll keep you posted on any changes,” Rose whispered, dressed inconspicuously as she followed *Arrow Frog King* through the bustling streets of New York.*Arrow Frog King* was cunning, frequently making

"Not a good idea? Why?""Chief, you mentioned they sent four people. What use is it to send just one person for protection? It'll only alert them and could make the situation worse. Instead, why not assign Giant Mountain to protect you instead?""I'm in the compound! I don't need protection here! But fine, if you think it's a bad idea, what do you suggest? We can't just sit around and do nothing!""Don’t worry about me, Chief. I suspect that the tech and pharmaceutical data they want won’t be easily obtained. If they can’t get what they need, they'll come straight to me. As long as I don’t reveal anything, they won’t harm me.""Willy! You don’t understand these top-tier mercenaries. They have all sorts of ways to break people down—psychological manipulation, torture, drugs. You might reveal everything without even realizing it!""I get it, Chief. Don’t worry. Give me two

Logan drove Willy back to his place, retrieved the lithography machine, and handed it to Willy, who immediately stored it in his system space."Logan, stay home for the next couple of days. I'll contact you once everything is sorted, and then you can resume work.""Yes, young master."After securing the lithography machine, Willy called Eleanor. He instructed her to have all the staff, including the household team, gather in the back for entertainment—either at the KTV or the cinema—and ensure the front yard was empty. Additionally, he ordered her to activate the thermal security net and surveillance system.Sensing that Willy was planning something, Eleanor agreed without hesitation. Willy then asked her about his parents' whereabouts. Eleanor reassured him that they were out shopping and wouldn't be back for dinner. With that, Willy felt at ease.Returning to the company, Willy entered his office, and the system alert immediately chim
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 110: How Could He Dodge?
Willy was about to make a move when he noticed figures entering from both the north and west sides of the estate simultaneously. The northern side led to the cinema, where everyone was gathered, so Willy was sure that the intruder wouldn’t risk entering the crowd.Since the intruders were avoiding the crowd, Willy decided to casually walk out of the control room and stroll toward the front hall, waiting for the moment they would make their move.As Arrow Frog King and her team infiltrated the estate, they immediately reported back to each other."I’m in from the west. There are a lot of cameras here—make sure you avoid them," one of them whispered."Got it. The north side also has a lot of cameras, but it seems like there are people gathered here. I’ll sneak over to check it out," Blue Poison Dart Frog responded."I’m in from the east. This place is just full of old NVMD architecture—it’s like a fantasy. We

447: We Can't Surrender So Easily
The situation had escalated quickly. Once the live broadcast was over, Willy’s defiant stance had sent a clear message: he wasn’t going to back down. It became evident to the EU that both Willy and NVMD were not ones to be easily dismissed.In response, the smaller EU member states began to panic. They knew that Willy’s economic power could easily crush any small nation, but they also understood the heavy weight behind him — the Four Great Families, NVMD, and now even A Country and G Country were backing him. These small nations felt increasingly powerless. If the entire world rallied behind Willy, how could they possibly stand up against such overwhelming forces?“Y Country, did you see that? We can’t target him anymore! Just a simple test, and we already know how powerful his background is. His technology and weapons, we can’t even handle them! We might as well bow down to him,” Portugal’s representative suggested
446: Global Live Interview
The decision by the NVMD Big Shot effectively crushed the already fragile factions within the EU. Dozens of people were online, discussing how to respond to Willy’s company’s announcement. While they were still figuring out a plan, NVMD's official statement about the unilateral supply cut to the EU was already released.Not long after NVMD's news broke, A Country also issued a statement, condemning the EU's actions and announcing their strong sanctions and protests.Upon seeing A Country's statement, NVMD's Big Shot was satisfied. He had personally helped push this young figure up the ranks, and now he was stepping up in a critical moment.Meanwhile, J Country’s representative, unsure of how to respond, simply announced that they were injured again and would be returning home to recover.The EU members were stunned. They had thought they could sanction Willy's company and NVMD because they had more allies, but now A Country had sided wit
445: Joining Forces
"Yes, it's true, Willy. Do you remember the doctor who treated my grandfather the day he was cured? After you suggested that my grandfather's illness might have been man-made, the doctor seemed to go crazy. That’s when I suspected something was wrong and had him taken away and interrogated. It turns out that the four major families have enough wealth and power to control everything. These people can’t directly affect our economy, so they resorted to other methods to harm us. My grandfather was one victim, and Betty’s mother was another. She was poisoned during a vacation and aged rapidly overnight. After that, she disappeared from public view. That’s why, at the auction, Betty was so desperate to buy the purple fruit—it was her only way of leaving in a hurry!""Unbelievable!!""Willy, you need to be careful because most of your companies are in NVMD, and you have the Big Shot behind you. You won’t suffer any immediate setbacks, but t
444: Sanctioned
After reviewing all the emails and quickly tallying up the numbers, Willy found that many of his companies in Europe were already facing severe sanctions. Channels had been severed, and nearly every company's accounts had been frozen. He conducted a quick check—postal services, aviation, pharmaceuticals, environmental protection, investments, and securities—all the major sectors, including companies with a market value close to ten trillion, had been sanctioned.Willy wasn’t in a hurry. This was just the beginning. He had plenty of time to play.Seeing Violet still working with the calculator, Willy casually listed all the companies in his industry and their connections on a piece of paper, before making a phone call. "If they want to play sanctions, let’s play. Let’s see who can outplay whom.""Logan, all of Willy's companies in the EU have been sanctioned. From now on, I’m pulling all Willy's companies out of Europe. Willy E

Perhaps it had been a long time since Willy last saw Paul, or perhaps it was because Willy still wore a suit during his encounter with Tian that had left Paul feeling vulnerable.Paul, holding a stack of files, walked up to Willy. At that moment, Violet, carrying a cup of coffee, walked to the door of Willy’s office. What happened next caused Violet’s blood to boil!"Boss, these files need your urgent attention. These three are the recent Galaxy Chips approval documents and reports. These others are the performance analysis reports for the first half of the year, and these are the import-export statements, all needing your signature!"Willy, who had been focused on his computer, didn’t respond immediately. He simply pointed to the desk, signaling Paul to place the documents there.Paul laid out the files that needed signatures in front of Willy and handed him a pen, urging him to sign. Willy, slightly uncomfortable with Paul’s beha

"Alright, Willy, you've been working hard lately, thank you!""Big Shot, there's no need to thank me, I have my own motives too, haha! People always say wealth doesn't last three generations, and while I'm confident in my son, I'm not so sure about my grandson. So, I’ll just give it my all!""Wow, you're in your twenties and already thinking about your grandkids? Your foresight is way ahead of its time!""Enough of that. Big Shot, I saw some news recently. It seems like the alliances from Y country are starting to team up and stir trouble?""Yes, since you made your debut, NVMD has been growing bigger and more stable, leaving them far behind. Now they're trying to unite and sanction us!""Sanction us? Looks like I’m included in that too!""Haha, you think you can run from this? I’m giving you a heads up, they might come for you soon.""They’re brave. Who gave them the courage? Was it Liang Jingru?""Who?

Duresha angrily watched as her fiery sword, powered by her shifting abilities, was destroyed by a series of explosions. She tried to react, but before she could even comprehend the situation, a series of blinding light points came at her with lightning speed, striking her down."No!!!" Duresha screamed as Willy's Precision Light Gun hit her repeatedly. Each shot caused an explosion upon impact, and she was blasted to pieces by the force.Willy stood in shock, bewildered by what had just happened. He had been battling the fiery sword, and somehow, in the midst of it all, he had accidentally killed Duresha."Hehehe, young one, the fates have their way," a deep, ancient voice echoed through the universe, sending a chill down Willy's spine. The moment he heard it, every fiber of his being—his blood, his flesh, even his very soul—trembled."Who... Who is speaking?" Willy asked, his voice filled with fear."It’s me, child. Do not be afr

However, she had no concrete leads and could only seek the help of Creation Sovereign.More importantly, Duresha had once lost her chance for an Esper rank promotion. This meeting with Creation Sovereign was her last chance. If Creation Sovereign could show her mercy, she might still be able to ascend to level four."Duresha, Creation Sovereign will see you in three days.

She was certain that they were both dead.However, with no leads to follow, she had no choice but to seek Creation Sovereign’s help. More importantly, Duresha had lost her chance to advance in her Esper rank, and this meeting with Creation Sovereign represented her last opportunity.
