I’m telling you straight, no matter which company in the industry you look at, they’re all begging me to join them! If I jump ship, not only will I take all your artists, but also the partners of your artists! Holly, you’d better think this through, considering your age!”
Hearing the commotion outside, Willy opened the door and walked out.
“So this little pretty boy is the new artist you brought in? Hmm, not bad. Does he know how to accompany drinks? Has anyone taught him the industry rules?” Freya spoke without any restraint, her hand reaching for Willy’s cheek in a suggestive manner.
Slap!
A crisp slap landed directly on Freya’s face.
“You have five minutes. I want to know what the industry rules are and every wrong

“What’s your name?” Willy asked the young artist who had just reported the incident.“Boss, my name is Q. Joann. I usually do commercial performances, fashion shows, and minor roles in TV dramas. Even these opportunities require such sacrifices to get them! I’ve turned them down many times, but every time, Freya threatens to make me pay compensation to the company for the losses. She’s blackmailing me!”“Make sure you have all the evidence ready. My lawyer has arrived, and you can hand it over to him. I will stand up for you. Who else has Freya done this to?”“Boss! I’ve been sent by Freya to serve a real estate tycoon for an entire night!” A frail-looking young man raised his hand.“My God!

“Let me tell you all something. I own a company called LVMH, which I’m sure you’re all familiar with. It owns many of the world’s top luxury brands. As you know, these luxury brands look for artists and supermodels from all over the world to represent them every year. So, in early December, I’ve arranged a cocktail party to give you all a chance to meet their brand designers and executives. Whether you can seize this opportunity is up to your own abilities! Make sure you’re well prepared, understood?” Willy finished speaking, and the room fell into stunned silence. Seeing the expressions of shock on everyone’s faces, Willy asked, “What’s wrong? Did you lose your souls? Holly!! Greg!!?”“Ah! Boss! Did you just say you own a company called LVMH? I think I might be hearing things!” Holly exclaimed in disbelief.“You didn’t hear wrong. The boss has his hands in everything. LVMH is jus

The next morning, Willy took Tessa and another lawyer to visit the KDM building that Sebastian Robinson was selling."Hmm, this building is quite nice. It's located in a prime triangular area, and the other buildings around here are almost a hundred meters away! It's perfect for an entertainment company!" Willy remarked, clearly satisfied with the location."Bro, I'm a bit worried it might not work out..." Tessa said, a hint of anxiety in her voice."You don't need to worry. With money, anything can be done!" Willy reassured her. "By the way, did you discuss your development path with them yesterday?""Not yet. Yesterday, they all went back to their companies for meetings. I think they’re all really looking forward to the cocktail party next month.""Aren’t you excited?""I am, but I don’t know what my positioning is yet. I have no idea what I’m suited for.""Tessa, you have a very cool and aloof look, which ma

Willy was completely confused."Willy’s here! Hmph, this little brat, if it weren’t for your mom and Violet stopping me, I’d have already sent him straight to the afterlife!" Owen was furious."You wouldn’t dare!""You still have the nerve to talk back! You little brat! You’re going to give me a heart attack!" Owen shouted, angry that Tian had dared to talk back to him."Violet, what’s really going on? You told me a few days ago that Tian was causing trouble. What happened? Doesn’t he go to work every day? How did he end up getting beaten in broad daylight?" Willy asked, still confused."Sweetheart, a few days ago, Tian got interested in a woman!" Violet said, try

You’re pregnant, and getting angry like this isn’t good for you or the baby!" Willy tried to calm her down."Dear, did you see how my brother was beaten up? The more I think about it, the angrier I get! Even though he shouldn’t have followed the guy, that still doesn’t justify hitting him! Why didn’t he call the police? That person should’ve been arrested, locked up! What happened was attempted murder in broad daylight!" Violet fumed."Heh, it’s not as serious as you think. Sit do

After quickly finishing the property transfer formalities, Tessa rushed out of the building as if fleeing."Bro! Sebastian is so boring! He kept talking nonsense to me today.

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?"

Violet hesitated, glancing at the extravagant outfits around her."Of course, Madam! We have a maternity line! But don’t worry, we can design clothes specifically for your body and pregnancy stage. Most of the outfits will fit you perfectly! And, as you know, luxury clothes can only be worn once. After that, you can't wear them again for another occasion!""Ah!! Now I understand!"

"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.

"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

"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

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

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.

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?

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
