2024-11-10 12:03:19The five trainees sprinted with all their might, each step fueled by the literal fire under their feet. Finally reaching the lake, they threw themselves into the water, extinguishing the flames that had started to creep up their pant legs and boots.
"Excellent!" Willy exclaimed as they emerged from the water, catching their breath. "Now, what was your previous best time for the hundred meters?"
"Reporting, sir," the first trainee responded. "My previous time was 11.7 seconds."
"And just now, you ran it in 10.8. The others, too, shaved nearly a second off their records," Willy noted, reading the times aloud.
Hearing Willy's new timing, Naomi couldn't hide her surprise. She’d just bested her personal record by a full second. The experience was intense, but the result was incredible.
After Willy read out everyone's times, the trainees realized the truth: only when forced to their absolute limits could they achieve their true potential. Wil

“Seriously?! You’re here to steal my techniques again?” Willy scowled in mock outrage.“Don’t be so stingy! Willy, where did you even get these training props?” Rose asked, her curiosity piqued.“Not telling! I’ll let you all stay in the dark until you crack from frustration!” Willy teased.“Damn, you’re so petty!” Rose retorted, rolling her eyes.“So, what’s your approach this time, Willy? Are you training them for combat?” Black Wolf asked, glancing at the computer screen where he could see real-time data and rankings.“Nope, this round is different. I plan to cut down the numbers significantly. If they’re unlucky, about half could be eliminated.”“Eliminate? What’s your plan for that?” Rose questioned, intrigued.“I have three rounds in mind for elimination. By the end of them, only two participants wi

Within just two minutes from the start, Willy saw participants quickly succeeding; some emerged victorious within seconds, carrying their subdued opponents out of the room. Shortly after, loud sounds of intense fighting echoed from inside the dorm, and another group exited a minute later, bringing out restrained competitors.Willy gave a slight nod of approval. "Well done. Subduing an opponent without injuring them requires true strength."Hearing Willy's praise, the four soldiers outside exchanged nods; receiving acknowledgment from the feared 'Demon King' was a significant badge of honor. It looked like their friends might owe them a meal—such was the spirit of elimination rounds. Soon, Josiah, Naomi, and others brought their opponents out just within the final seconds.When Rose saw that Naomi had defeated a male soldier, she was stunned."Excellent work, Number Eight!" Willy complimented."Thank you, sir!" Naomi replied, excited.I

“Something’s not right. I’m positive I heard movement in this room; I can’t be mistaken!”“I heard it too—someone’s munching on something. Keep looking!”The two continued searching the room, while Josiah, knowing that if he fought head-on he could take down at most one of them, would still be eliminated by the other. He didn’t want to get eliminated, so he forced himself to calm down. The situation called for clear thinking.Quietly, Josiah reached into his bag, pulled out a water bottle, and threw it toward the far end of the factory roof. This was his chance—the only chance he’d get to catch both of them with their backs turned.He recalled watching Willy demonstrate his gun technique, the rapid shot technique where Willy showed them how to control their fingers and wrists for quick, efficient eliminations. This was the time to put it into action.The water bottle land

No. 35 quietly crept up the stairs, flashlight in his left hand and gun raised in his right. This was his chance. Facing off against No. 15, he was confident he could survive—after all, No. 15 had just been shot!No. 15 was convinced he had the upper hand, keeping a close watch on the stairs. The moment his opponent showed himself, he’d fire first and secure a guaranteed win!Ready, No. 35 suddenly sprinted up the stairs. In less than a second, he reached the second floor, flashing his light at the shadow while dropping to the ground. As soon as No. 15 saw him, he pulled the trigger. Just then, blinded by the light, he was hit multiple times!“Big Bang! Impressive!”“You’ve got some quick hands too!” No. 35, nicknamed Big Bang, noted the 70% health displayed on his body.“Ha! If I were any faster, you’d be out of the game!”Big Bang patted No. 15 on the shoulder, grabbed his gun and water, and turned to leave. But just as he reac

A group of people arrived at the fighting arena, with No. 15 and No. 35 dressed and ready, standing in the center.“Liang! You know I'm getting older, and this is my last chance! So I won't hold back!”“BigBang, you know my biggest dream is that spot! I’ve made it through all these matches, and I won't stop here!”“Alright! Let the match begin!” Willy announced.BigBang instantly launched an attack aimed at Liang's lower body, but Liang dodged and struck BigBang on the collarbone with a knife-hand strike!BigBang absorbed the blow and wrapped his arms around Liang, trying to bring him down. Liang engaged his core strength, lowering his center of gravity while driving his head into BigBang’s nose. BigBang anticipated Liang’s move, evaded, and then used his entire body to throw Liang backward!Liang, using the momentum from BigBang’s throw, braced himself with his ha

As the other teams gradually completed their tasks, only Naomi and Liang remained. Among the Black Wolf team, a male member finished quickly, but his partner lagged behind. Meanwhile, the sniper from Rose's team executed a perfect shot to eliminate the target!Ten participants stood before the Black Wolf team, who scanned the group’s condition, still impressed by Willy’s trainees. Naomi and Liang exuded a kind of aura—not fierce or domineering, but an enigmatic presence that radiated danger."This round will eliminate two of you. Please take a moment to rest while I discuss with my colleagues," Black Wolf announced.The words sent a wave of tension through the group. However, Naomi and Liang remained notably calm, having completed their tasks with superior speed and quality compared to the others.Black Wolf turned to confer with Dove, Rose, and Giant. After some deliberation, they decided to eliminate one member from Giant’s team

Naomi and Liang have failed! They were up against the strongest member of the entire NVMD elite mercenary group! The two felt helpless, but they were also curious if others had completed their assessments.Black Wolf patted their shoulders, "You two have been trained well by Willy; you're both strong fighters! It’s impressive for a girl to be so tough. Sure, you’re a bit behind Rose, but you’re younger and have plenty of room to improve!"Naomi thought about Black Wolf's words, wondering how Rose would react to this compliment and what kind of competition they would have."You’re quite the schemer, haha! Our team needs all kinds of mercenaries for different missions, which is why Willy speaks so highly of you two! Even though you didn’t complete the final assessment, you faced me, and I’m satisfied with your performance!" Black Wolf said, hands behind his back.When they returned to the assembly point, everyone else had

"Willy, are you alright?" Black Wolf's voice came from behind Willy."I'm fine. The two people being captured this time, it's because the trouble I caused by capturing the four members of the Toxic Frog Squad, right?""Don't overthink it.""So, what's your plan?""I’ve already had Liang and the others pack up, then we’ll head back to our operations headquarters to discuss things. The training is over now, and you’ve really worked hard this month!""I’ll go with you. This was my fault, so I’ll handle it personally.""Willy, you... what are you planning?""Nothing in particular. Let’s go. First, let’s check the situation at your headquarters. You tell me more about this Toxic Frog Squad.""The Toxic Frog Squad is the name that seven of J Country’s top mercenaries gave themselves. Each person has a code name based on a type of frog. J Country is quite unique in that when a team membe

"Charles, when did you learn all this?" Willy asked, clearly surprised by his son’s knowledge."Quite a long time ago, I think! I don’t really remember! But now, if I learn more, it should be word problems. I’m really interested in that! Will the teachers teach us word problems today?""Uh... Charles, I’m sorry, but the teachers can’t teach that right now. The other kids here haven’t learned these numbers yet, so they can’t start with word problems. How about you spend some time with the teacher later to go over the numbers and reinforce what you already know?""Well, I guess I’ll accept that," Charles replied with a playful grin.At lunchtime, because of Charles’ presence, Spike added several extra dishes to the already rich menu. Charles ate a small portion, remembering what his father had taught him: to eat balanced meals to ensure proper nutrition. He knew that eating only what he liked could lead
464: The First Experience at Kindergarten
The next morning, Willy and Violet set off with Charles, heading to the Grok University Kindergarten. The kindergarten principal had already received word from the president of Grok University that the largest sponsor of the school would be bringing his child to try out the kindergarten for a week. This news made him both nervous and excited, so he immediately arranged for Charles to be placed in the best class.The top-tier Bentley slowly pulled up to the kindergarten’s gates. Willy got out first and then took Charles out of the car."Hello, hello! You must be Mr. Morgan! Oh my goodness, your little one is just adorable!" the principal exclaimed."Hello, yes, I am," Willy responded with a smile."Mr. Morgan, welcome! I’m th

In the days that followed, Willy ignored all the external requests for help and focused solely on managing his business and family matters. If Big Shot truly couldn’t handle things, he would come to Willy for help, and Willy hadn’t forgotten about the arrogance and unreasonable behavior from Y Country. He was always ready to take action against them when the time came.Although he had earlier contacted the merfolk to have sea monsters attack the EU's coastal cities, causing some damage, that was hardly anything serious. It wasn’t even a warning, really. Willy wasn’t in a rush; time was on his side. However, he did need to hurry up with sorting out Charles' kindergarten situation.Coincidentally, Neil from New York University and Cecilia from Grok University reached out to Willy. Both of them informed him that their respective top-tier facilities had been completed and were already running smoothly. They invited Mr. Morgan to visit and suggested
462: Once the Money Is in Place, Everything Is Negotiable
The recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius had been different from previous eruptions, which had been intermittent and not particularly violent. This time, it was as if the magma had been building up for years and suddenly erupted with full force, sending plumes of lava into the sky above Europe. Within seconds, the southern coastline of Italy was covered in volcanic ash. Soon after, countless rocks and ash rained down, and within an hour, several nearby provinces were enveloped in black smoke. The ash, carried by the monsoon winds, spread to countries like Switzerland and Hungary.When Willy woke up, the news of the volcanic eruption was dominating global headlines, and his personal email had been bombarded with urgent requests for help from EU countries.Willy glanced at the messages briefly, ignoring all the ones related to the volcanic eruption, and instead focused on the important work-related emails, responding to them as needed.Ding!

"Heh, that’s normal, right? Babe, the kind of kindergarten you’re talking about, it’s not cheap, is it?""It’s not too bad! These few I looked at cost about twenty-something million a year.""To us, twenty million is nothing—just a meal or a drink. But for regular people, that’s a year’s salary. They’re spending everything they make, not eating or drinking, just to send their kid to kindergarten. Doesn’t that seem expensive to you?""So, darling, are you saying that kindergarten is becoming more commercialized now? Forget about how well they actually educate the kids—just focus on flashy facilities and complex curricula to confuse parents into signing up?""Heh, pretty much! Look at these brochures you’re holding. All they do is praise how amazing, powerful, and impressive their kindergarten is. But do any of them mention that the goal of the kindergarten is to educate the children? To me,

Or, if you two want, you can come to my company and I’ll show you around. You can choose for yourselves?"Willy actually wanted to keep the two of them close by, to protect his family. It would make him feel more at ease, especially after Y Country's Big Shot had sent assassins after him. After that, Willy realized how important safety truly was. Even though he had Wione and the others by his side, with a family as large as his—his parents, three children, his Babe, his sister, his uncle’s family, and sometimes even his secretary—it was a lot to keep track of. He wondered what Black Wolf thought about all this.But then he remembered: Black Wolf had left Big Shot’s side for the sake of living a simpler life. So, how could he expect so
459: Sea Monster Attack
Willy stood in the plaintiff's section, watching with a smile as the EU representatives argued vehemently."Order! Since you’ve all agreed to the compensation, the next matter will be for the defendants to handle their own claims!" the judge declared, signaling for Willy to leave the courtroom.There was no need for further debate. Willy’s evidence was solid, and the entire world was watching, so everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.Willy glanced over at the EU representatives, a deep smile on his face. The compensation was only the first step for him. Heh, Europe was so close to his allies, the merfolk. If, in the near future, there were reports of sea monsters attacking coastal cities in the EU, it wouldn’t be his problem.Willy left the Netherlands, prepared a sufficient amount of food for the merfolk, and then piloted his aircraft to the merfolk's territory.After a brief negotiation with the merfolk, he handed over
458: The Court Hearing
In the afternoon, Willy received a video from Big Shot. It was a heated argument that took place during a meeting of the European Union, where several members disagreed with Y Country’s sanctions. The video clearly indicated that the EU had initiated the conflict. Willy couldn’t help but admire Big Shot's skills—he had clearly been setting up his plan for years, planting "landmines" along the way.At 3 PM, Willy turned off the surveillance at Willy Manufacturing, moved the equipment into his system space, and restored the video. Then, he flew to Will Planet.Upon arriving at Will Planet, he found an empty spot and took out various large and heavy pieces of equipment. Of course, Willy didn’t need to lift them; pulling them out of his system space was instantaneous.Meanwhile, the scientists on Will Planet were enjoying the magnificent sights of the planet.When they saw Willy arrive, they greeted him warmly."So, how’s

"I understand, Willy. You go ahead and rest. We’ll go take a break. He can’t die just yet, right?""No, he can’t die." Willy had everything under control in his mind. The poison was only going to give him endless hallucinations, and with his legs broken, there was no way he could run away. He wouldn’t die either—though he’d probably meet his end tomorrow.It was already 3 AM when Willy left the compound, and he quickly made his way home. To his surprise, Violet was still awake!"Darling! You’re back!" Violet’s voice sounded hoarse."Poor thing, you’ve been crying, haven’t you? Your voice is all hoarse.""I’m fine. I was just worried about you and the child. What happened to those two bastards?""One’s dead, and the other’s spilled some major information. We’ll have to wait for Big Shot’s decision tomorrow.""Major information?""Yes. The o
