Rose recovered quickly, and soon she was already strolling around the hospital’s garden. Black Wolf stood beside the leader, watching from a distance as Jushan accompanied his sister during her rehabilitation. He spoke softly, “Leader, I’ve thoroughly investigated Willy’s background over the past two days.”

“Oh? Let’s hear it.”

“Willy was born 23 years ago during winter in Washington, into the Morgan family, specifically to the third son of the family. However, right after his birth, the eldest son of the Morgan family arranged for someone to kidnap him. After a lot of back-and-forth, he was abandoned in Los Angeles when he was a little over a year old and taken in by ZBC Orphanage. He lived in the orphanage during elementary, middle, and high school, only leaving when he went to university. Over the past two years, he entered society, and I also found out that he once won the biggest national lottery prize. Later,

    The ZBC Orphanage in Los Angeles was still the same old three-story building, weathered and worn. Inside, it was structured like a large classroom. The orphanage now housed around sixty to seventy children, ranging in age from a few months to late teens. Willy and his group pulled up at the orphanage’s gate in their cars, and as he stepped out, a rush of memories flooded back. The rusty iron gate, the two lush trees that stood proudly in the yard, and the worn-out swing set, merry-go-round, and stone tables—all places where he’d spent countless hours as a child.On the second floor, there was a room with a bed that Willy had slept in throughout his childhood. This place held so many traces of him, like an imprint of his past.“Why are there so many cars? And such fancy ones, too!” A woman in her fifties or sixties stepped out of the orphanage, squinting at the vehicles in confusion.“Piper!” Willy shouted, his voice trembling with emotion. Those tw

    When Willy returned to the room, he found Piper chatting with Penelope, recalling Willy's childhood misadventures and bringing a blush to his face.“Oh, Piper, those stories are so embarrassing. Let’s not bring those up!”“Willy, if Piper hadn’t told me, I would have never known just how mischievous you were!” Penelope laughed.“Piper, my parents brought some things for the kids—everything here is for them. Also, I’ve already set up the arrangements for the renovations. Soon, people will come to begin remodeling the orphanage here in Los Angeles. Don’t worry; you and the children will be relocated to a safe and comfortable place during the work. You won’t have to lift a finger. My legal team will handle everything!”“Understood, young master!” the two legal advisors confirmed in unison.“Legal advisors? Willy, how much are you spending on this? It’s too

    “Haha, I never would’ve guessed that the big boss of the ‘Willy Group’ was such an amazing singer! You even have rich fans offering to sponsor you!” Violet teased.“Violet! Where did you see that?”“My brother sent me a video of you holding a mic and singing last night. Didn’t you tell me you were just going out for a little stroll?”Willy couldn’t tell if Violet was amused or a bit annoyed, seeing that he’d gone out without telling her.“Well, I just felt in an unusually good mood, like something lucky might happen! So, I took a walk, bought a scratch-off ticket and won $10,000, then found a wallet with $5,000 in cash. Want it all?”“Why are you giving it to me? It’s your luck, not mine. Go claim your prize and spend it yourself!” she replied with a laugh.“If you don’t want it, fine! By the way, I haven’t heard you mentio

    After finishing his performance, Willy received a round of enthusiastic applause, even being handed a bouquet of flowers, which he brought to Violet.“Beautiful lady, this bouquet is for you,” he said with a grin, extending the flowers to her.Violet was just about to shyly reach for them when a voice cut in.“Hey! Kid, let me tell you something! Violet already has a boyfriend, okay? Just because you’re a bar singer doesn’t mean you can flirt with my best friend!”“Uh...what?” Willy froze, not quite sure how to respond.“Oh, Peyton!” Violet exclaimed. “He *is* my boyfriend! I asked him to go on stage and sing for me, so please sit down! And keep your voice down; everyone is staring at us.”“What?” Now Peyton looked embarrassed.“Excuse me, miss, shall we serve the food now?” The server’s timely arrival eased the awkward moment.

    “The boss is on a tight schedule,” the HR director announced. “So shortly, I’ll be taking all of you into the conference room for a group interview. Besides the boss, our HR reps, and a few professionals from the research division will be asking you a few targeted questions. Any questions?”Everyone responded with a quick “No.”“Alright then, please follow me.”Taking a deep breath, Peyton joined the group and filed into the spacious conference room.Willy was already seated at the center of the table. He noticed Peyton at the back of the group, head down, looking tense.“Alright, take any seat you like and relax,” Willy said warmly.Hearing his voice, Peyton felt a strange sense of familiarity. She slid into a chair in the second row, trying to sit as far from the front as possible.“We’ll start with introductions,” Willy continued, “and everyone, keep it to two minutes.”“Hello, everyone, I’m Markino,” the first c

    “Violet! Your man is the Willy Group’s big boss, isn’t he?”“Haha, so you finally figured it out!”“Ugh, you sneaky woman! You and your boyfriend totally set me up!”“Let’s talk in person! Come up to the 45th floor. We’ll be waiting for you!”“Fine! Just you wait—I’m coming for you!” Peyton muttered furiously, hitting the elevator button repeatedly, flustered and excited all at once.“Miss, if you keep pressing it, the elevator’s going to break,” came a calm voice behind her.“Oh! I’m sorry!” Peyton responded, flustered. She glanced up at the man beside her—a composed, well-dressed figure with an elegant voice and bearing.Logan glanced curiously at the girl next to him, assuming she was here for an interview without a company badge. She seemed angry, maybe frustrated. Did the intervie

    “Violet, call your mom and let her know to be cautious around everyone at the flower arranging event today. Tell her I’ll have someone there to give them injections, and to keep things quiet.”“Alright, I’ll call her right away! Peyton, do you want to come with me and maybe get a shot too?”“I’ll go with you. I want to check on your father and see if there’s anything I can help with!”The three left the hot pot restaurant in a rush, and their driver sped them toward the Brown family estate. On the way, Willy arranged for his pharmaceutical company to deliver medicine to the Browns and instructed Tian to prepare enough doses for all employees at the company headquarters. Willy also asked Tian to coordinate an evening injection for the entire building and ensure full disinfection. With everything set, they arrived at the Brown estate.Violet, Tian, and their mother, Paisley, were devastated as they

    **Chapter Taking a quick bathroom break, Willy locked the door and entered his system space to explore the new environmental technologies he’d unlocked. He opened the file labeled “Environmental Technology Suite,” and the first item on the list was a *complete air-reconstruction system*! This was followed by a water recycling system, waste decomposition technology, and, finally, a “Miracle Seed Program.” Willy couldn’t help but feel a bit skeptical at first—modern technology had already made strides in these areas. Could the system’s inventions really be that different?Diving into the data, Willy realized just how revolutionary these technologies were. The *air-reconstruction system* was a powerful machine that could purify polluted air, water, or even use wind energy to produce clean nitrogen, oxygen, and other atmospheric gases. Plus, it came with a one-button “rain generation” function—truly groundbreaking!

I've been protecting her since we were kids, and a lot of her habits and interests were actually influenced by me based on my own preferences. But Violet doesn't mind, probably because she likes it too!""Ah, I see! Clara is 27, single! And no, she's not my relative! If you like her, go ahead and pursue her!

    Three days after the disaster, Willy quietly made a donation of money and then announced that Willy Precision Manufacturing had created the most accurate earthquake detector, for which he had applied for a patent!Soon after, numerous countries, including those from J Country, began to approach Zephyr from Willy Precision to purchase the earthquake detectors. After witnessing the accuracy of Lizhi's prediction, the global public now trusted Willy.As Zephyr handled the influx of orders, he made it clear that each earthquake detector would cost 100 million USD, with no negotiations allowed! This price was still acceptable, and after considering the offer, many countries signed contracts with Willy Precision for the detectors.Meanwhile, another prominent figure was also in discussions with Willy."Willy, take a look at our Sichuan-Chongqing region. It's prone to earthquakes. Could you prioritize supplying us? And what about Qinghai? Also…""B

Luckily, this was New York, where such places existed. If it had been in Los Angeles, a smaller city, it would have taken much more effort to get things done.Willy leaned back in his office chair, closed his eyes, and looked at the system panel. There were still many unused features, including lottery, prediction, skills, exchange, curse, technology, and elimination.He extended his hand and clicked on the prediction button, wondering what would be predicted this time. He remembered the last prediction was about a lizardman next year, and he wondered if this time it would predict something like a birdman!Ding!

He hid from my dad at the hospital for a while, then he discharged himself and went home. Lately, my dad’s been really busy, and I can’t help much. From what I gather, my brother plans to return to the company after his injuries heal. By the way, Willy, I heard from my brother that The Hernandez Family is struggling!""Struggling? What do you mean? Their family business shouldn’t have been hit that hard, right?""How could it not? According to my brother, they’ve borrowed a lot from the bank to invest in real estate and securities. But then the financial crisis hit, and they suffered heavy losses in their securities investments. The several large real estate developments they’ve built are just sitting there, unsold.

It sounded like something about bringing a man home!Curious, Willy stood up, tiptoed out of his room, and was about to press his ear against the door to listen. Just as he did, Violet swung the door open.Seeing Willy staring at her with wide eyes and an expression of shock, Violet immediately rushed to him and gave him a big hug."Dear, I’m sorry!

First, he praised me for being pure, then he said I was passionate about work. I couldn’t stand it! He just kept asking me questions and even looked up my birthday, saying he’d surprise me on that day! It’s so annoying! Before I left, I told him I wasn’t interested in him. Guess what he said?""Heh, what did he say?" Willy chuckled."He said he has perseverance. Is he crazy?" Tessa rolled her eyes in frustration."Well, if you don’t like him, just ignore him. But I do have business dealings with him. By the way, how did your meeting with Holly and the others go yesterday?"
