2024-11-30 12:03:10Logan, standing to the side, was captivated as he watched Valentina on stage. Her composed demeanor, gentle tone, and eloquent delivery made her seem radiant—a sharp contrast to the chaos caused by recent events. Logan couldn’t help but feel a spark.
Ah, the sweet scent of love in the air.
When the time came for someone to take questions, a host announced:
“Next, we have a representative from Willy Environmental to address your questions.”
Just as Willy prepared to step up, Violet stopped him and took the stage herself.
“Boss, this…” Logan hesitated.
“It’s fine,” Willy repl

She’s everything you’re looking for in a woman.”“Boss!! How did you figure that out?”“Anyone with eyes could tell. At the last press conference, your gaze never left her. You even went out of your way to add her on WhatsApp and help her with her work. Violet told me all about it.”Nearby, Violet was gnawing on a chicken leg. Hearing Willy’s words, she almost choked.

Willy couldn’t help but laugh at the extravagant welcome, though his smile seemed to captivate the crowd. Even his future mother-in-law, Paisley, was giving him an odd look, one that made him slightly uneasy.Violet stepped forward from the crowd, took Willy’s arm, and announced, “Darling, you look so handsome today! You’ve got this... magnetic charm. The more I look at you, the more irresistible you seem!”Her affectionate declaration was clearly a territorial move: This is my man. Stop fantasizing.“Uh, hello, everyone!” Willy greeted, quickly breaking the awkward silence caused by the crowd’s collective admiration.“Ah, Willy! Let me introduce you,” Owen said, stepping forward and gu

During the dinner, Willy excused himself to use the restroom, and Tiana followed closely behind. She positioned herself at the sinks between the men’s and women’s restrooms, waiting for the perfect moment to make her move and boldly confess her feelings to Willy.What she didn’t anticipate was that Aaliyah and Violet also got up and followed him.“Hey, what are you doing here?” Violet asked, noticing Tiana loitering.“I’m washing my hands and checking my makeup. This is my house; I can stand wherever I want. Why don’t you just go use the restroom?” Tiana replied smugly.“I’m not here to use the restroom. I’m here to keep an eye on my man, in case some fox tries to follow him with ulterior motives,” Violet said sharply.“What nonsense are you spouting? And what do you mean ‘your man’? You’re not even married yet. Honestly, you’re nauseating, c

You’ll need to wait a bit longer.”“Alright, then what should we be cautious about?”“Make sure not to overwork, avoid strenuous exercise, pay attention to your diet, and avoid allergens. No smoking or drinking. And don’t overeat.”“Got it!” Violet smiled, her happiness surpassing even Willy’s. Her mind was set—her only plan now was to focus on a healthy pregnancy.“Doctor, how often should we come for checkups? Also, is it okay to wear a wedding dress during this season?

"What are we supposed to do now?" The Big Shot from Y country was somewhat surprised upon hearing F country speak."Since we can’t win and we can’t let things get worse, the EU needs help and resources from Willy's company, so we’ll have to apologize. That’s the only option I have.""I disagree! What is this? We were about to succeed, why give up now?""Y country, are you stupid? Can’t you see the facts? You think you were about to succeed? You’re about to destroy yourselves! Yesterday, the four major families and Willy blocked you from all your stock indices, investments, imports and exports, insurance, and pharmaceuticals. Didn’t you know? Right now, many people in your country need Willy Pharmaceuticals’ medications to survive! Didn’t you know that many of your people have paid deposits for Willy Manufacturing’s aircraft but haven’t received them? Your country’s people lost 80% of their s

"Alright, Mr. Morgan, I believe the global audience watching at home understands your point now. As a businessman, there are many things beyond your control. So, Mr. Morgan, how do you plan to handle the companies and employees you currently have in the EU?""Companies like Willy Environmental and Willy Pharmaceuticals are in a very critical situation right now. All the EU countries and regions have invalidated our legally valid documents and replaced them with other approval channels. The purpose is to prevent my companies from passing the review, resulting in business shutdowns. In a place with no integrity, no action, and no concern for the people, I’ve given a direct order to shut down all our companies. The local employees are to be dismissed immediately. There's no other way.""Mr. Morgan, are you considering compensation for your employees?""This reporter, as for compensation, I believe local employees should file lawsuits against their respective
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
442: Who Gave Them the Courage
"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?

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
