2024-09-05 09:01:27"Let’s wait and see after the half-hour break. We’ve got time," Willy Morgan said, making everyone in the room turn to look at him.
At that moment, everyone felt like they’d just been slapped in the face. All their sarcastic and mocking remarks aimed at Willy earlier were now ricocheting back at themselves. Who was this young man, and how could he have so accurately predicted what would happen today?
Unbothered by the stares, Willy casually opened his phone and played a couple of games while waiting. Half an hour later, OpenApple resumed trading.
When the market reopened, the stock price had already plummeted to $522. And the downward spiral continued. The price dropped into the $400s.
Willy took out his calculator and did some quick math. The system had told him there would be a 9

After hanging up the phone, Willy Morgan enjoyed dinner prepared by Zoe, played some games, and then called it a night. The three days in Singapore had taken a toll on him. He wasn’t used to the climate, with Singapore being nearly 15 degrees hotter than Los Angeles, and the drastic change in weather left him feeling drained.The next morning, Willy went for an early run, and from a distance, he spotted Heather Collins along with a few elderly men standing outside his neighborhood, peering inside.Willy felt a wave of annoyance. These people were like clinging vines—impossible to shake off.As soon as Heather saw Willy, she hurried over with the elderly men. But before they could approach, the security guards stopped them."You’re not residents here. You can’t come in," the guard said firmly."We're here to see someone! That person is our boss! Right there!" one of the elderly men insisted."Then c

As soon as Willy Morgan arrived in New York, he felt slightly disoriented. A brand-new environment and a fresh start—everything was going to begin again from scratch. There were no memories or past connections here, but Willy carried a strong sense of confidence.After disembarking from the plane, the moving company, pre-arranged by Eleanor Rodriguez, was already waiting for them. The group of seven got into two cars, and Willy handed the drivers the address.The driver glanced at the address and seemed surprised. "Sir, are you sure this is the right place?""Yeah, why?" Willy asked."Oh, nothing. We'll head there now," the driver replied.As they drove through the bustling streets of New York, Willy watched the vibrant city unfold outside the window—the busy streets and crowds of people. It was clear that New York’s energy was unmatched by Los Angeles.The drive took nearly two hours before they finally arriv

"Such advanced security! That's fantastic! I’d honestly be scared to live in such a large estate by myself without it," Willy Morgan said with a chuckle."Yes, young master, but I would still suggest that you hire more staff to help manage the estate. Also, some adjustments should be made for your daily living arrangements, including having more staff to prepare meals and take care of other needs," Eleanor Rodriguez recommended."I was thinking the same thing, Eleanor. Could you take care of that for me? We’ll need more people to keep the estate lively. That includes security personnel. Do you happen to know any reliable ones from before? Also, Zoe, our chef, will need help in the kitchen. With so many people to feed, he won’t be able to manage it alone. We’ll also need additional drivers and—""Don’t worry, young master. I’ll handle everything!" Eleanor smiled warmly at Willy. She was pleasantly surprised at how easygoing and approachable he was, quite unlike the heirs of other power

Michael Martin's announcement over the loudspeaker sent a ripple through the entire dealership. Everyone was stunned. Customers who were typically wealthy enough to buy cars from this prestigious showroom found themselves curious and envious of the person who had just qualified for the exclusive VIP treatment.One man in the standard showroom couldn't contain his frustration. He tugged at his sales associate's sleeve, demanding, "Why does *he* get VIP access, but I don’t?""Sir, the manager mentioned over the loudspeaker that the customer passed asset verification. It means the customer’s wealth is far above the threshold for our standard buyers. That’s why they get access to the luxury car exhibition.""I demand asset verification too! Check my account! I’ve got a few million dollars in there! I want to see the luxury cars too!" The man puffed out his chest, trying to assert himself."Sir, our asset verification for VIP access requires at least a billion dollars. If you don’t have th

System upgrading, please wait."Willy Morgan didn't pay much attention to the system upgrade. Instead, he opted to drive the custom SSC Tuatara back home.Five men, each driving a luxury sports car.Normally, New York streets were busy and congested, but when these five high-end cars hit the road, everyone made way, fearful that even a minor scratch would bankrupt them.Back at the estate, the five cars were neatly parked in the garage. Soon after, the other five vehicles arrived, delivered by the dealership’s transport trucks."Mr. Morgan! A true big shot!"

"Yes, Eleanor. Sebastian Robinson gave me a 20% discount! How did you even know about that?""Young Master, Sebastian Robinson contacted me. He wants to meet you and have a chat.""Great! I'm free tomorrow. You can arrange it.""Where would you like to meet, Young Master?""I'm fine with either option. If he's comfortable coming here, he can visit. If he prefers to meet elsewhere, that's fine too.""Understood, Young Master. I'll make the arrangements."Later that night, at around 10 p.m., Eleanor Rodriguez came to see Willy Morgan again."Young Master, Sebastian Robinson confirmed his visit for tomorrow. He'll be here at 10 a.m. Is that okay?""Perfect.""Also, Young Master, I've found some renowned fashion designers to tailor clothes for you. They’ve worked with top international brands before, including a former creative director of Hermès, as well as designers from Chanel and Calvin Klein. Their annual salaries are around 1.2 million each. What do you think?""Sounds good. And as

With his help, you won't have to worry about a thing.""Uh... sure, go handle your business first."After exchanging contact information, Sebastian Robinson hurriedly left. Willy Morgan was curious—what kind of big shot was Sebastian planning to introduce him to?"Young Master, has Mr. Robinson left?" Eleanor Rodriguez came out."Yeah, I gave him a few chips to test, and he rushed off. He mentioned something about introducing me to a big shot if the chips work well. Eleanor, do you know what kind of big people the Robinson family knows?""Young Master, I’ve heard that the Robinson family is quite familiar with some influential figures, but I don’t know the specifics."<

“You, come over here!” Willy Morgan pointed at the glasses-wearing streamer.“What do you want?” the man shouted, sounding defensive.“You scratched the paint on my car while live-streaming in front of it. I demand compensation,” Willy Morgan said calmly.His statement sent the live-stream chat into a frenzy.“He says that car is his!”“Well, whoever has the keys is the owner!”“Yeah, prove it!”“Come on, bro!

"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
