“Owen, I’ve received an invitation directly from President Orson’s secretary, inviting me to the business networking event you mentioned. I’m planning to attend. Would you like to come with me?” Violet asked.

“If Willy is going, then I’ll go with you as well. It’s been a year since I’ve seen a lot of old friends! Let’s set a time,” Owen replied.

“Great, the event is on January 7th. Can we leave on the 6th?” Violet proposed.

“Of course, just let me know what time, and I’ll follow your lead. I have a feeling you’ll be the most important person at the event. In the past, companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Volkswagen would dominate the conversations, and families like ours—NVMD—couldn’t get a word in. But this year, it looks like things will be different!” Owen said.

“Well, I haven’t thought that far ahead. I just want to meet

    "My God, the young master is back!" Elijah's words left Willy speechless. What was that supposed to mean?"Willy! We've been so worried about you! We thought something had happened to you! We were about to go look for you!" Penelope said, her tone slightly reproachful."Huh, I just went for a walk, got some fresh air. You guys didn't think I fell into the sea and drowned, did you?" Willy replied, trying to lighten the mood."I wasn't worried about that. I knew you'd come back. Hehe," Violet, Ethan, and Clara were the only ones not concerned, as they'd seen Willy's flying vehicle go at full speed.Penelope, Paisley, and the others had no idea about the vehicle's capabilities, so they had been worried. Earlier, Violet and the others had thought that Willy had gone back to New York to handle business."I'm fine, don't worry. Everyone should have fun and enjoy themselves! Violet, did you have a good time today?""Yes, I had a wonderful time. The

    "Boss, that's pretty generous. Just for the New Year's party, you're giving out over ten million in red envelopes!""Just over ten million? That's a bit too little! Let me recalculate!" Willy said, clearly showing that while he cared deeply for his employees, he was also determined to make things right.He took a pen and wrote down some numbers for a while before finally arriving at a satisfactory red envelope distribution plan."Let’s go with this. Keep it simple! A total of 8,000 envelopes: 5,000 with a value of 5,000 each, 2,000 with 8,000 each, 800 with 10,000 each, 100 with 20,000 each, 90 with 50,000 each, 9 with 100,000 each, and finally, the grand prize — one lucky person will get 1 million.""Boss, can we join in too?""Of course! But Liam, do you even need that 1 million?""No, not really! But boss, we’d like the luck bonus too! That extra bit of luck will make the whole year feel exceptionally smooth for us!"

    "You’re flattering me too much. In that case, arrange things, and I’ll give a brief talk for two minutes tomorrow!""Of course, please come with me, Willy! We’ll head to the hotel right away!"The Singapore Wenting Hotel, located near Singapore Harbor, is a towering 101-story building with all kinds of recreational facilities, accommodations, dining, bathing, and more. It’s owned by the Governor of the Port and heavily invested in for the purpose of hosting world-class business events. It’s designed to cater to top-tier global trade associations.Willy was assigned a room on the 99th floor, the same level where members of the Four Major Families stayed. Since the business suite was huge, Willy had Owen, Logan, and Liam stay with him. The rest of his entourage, including Wione and others, were sent to Logan’s room."Willy, what do you plan to talk about on stage tomorrow?""I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll just wing it!" Willy replied."Come on, take this seriously. Wing it? That won’

    "Willy, this is David, the heir of the Rothschild family!""Hello, Willy! You’re the legendary Willy, aren’t you? Wow, you’re so young!" David, who was over forty but appeared very cultured and dignified, greeted him warmly."Hello, David. You overestimate me. All my achievements are just a matter of timing and coincidence!""Willy, you’re being too modest!" A red-haired girl standing next to David spoke up."Willy, this is Betty Dupont! She’s the head of the Dupont family delegation for this conference!""Hello, beautiful lady!" Willy took Betty’s hand and kissed the back of her hand."This is Larry Jason!""This is Eric Rockefeller!""Hello to both of you!""Willy, hello!"The group immediately surrounded Willy, showering him with praise and expressing interest in collaborating with him to create even greater wealth, or even investing in Willy’s companies. However, Willy

    "How could this person speak like that? Even though we may not have developed as quickly as him, we have been steadily investing and growing, and now we are all trillionaire tycoons, top-tier elites. Yet, he doubts us like this! He even said we will be eliminated and forgotten. It's utterly baffling! How did this person even become the richest in the world?" A man in the second row voiced his confusion. The people around him from Microsoft, Volkswagen, and other companies shook their heads in disbelief, thinking, How could you question our boss? You're sitting in the same row as his employees!Hearing the murmurings from the crowd, Willy wasn’t worried. He knew this was just temporary. Sure enough, after a brief ten-second pause, the noise subsided, and the audience began to look at Willy with apologetic expressions, signaling that they were sorry for interrupting his speech and asking him to continue. They promised they would listen attentively."Heh, i

    After six representatives shared their experiences, the third segment of the event began. Many people with private partnerships quietly left for the cocktail hall, while a large number of others headed to the gambling tables."Willy, you were so direct just now! Heh, I thought you would talk for ages in some flowery language, but you managed to clearly explain everything in just a few words!" Sebastian remarked."I couldn't help it, Sebastian. I don't really like giving speeches in this kind of setting, and everyone in the audience has more experience than me. If I start rambling on, no one will want to listen!" Willy responded with a slight chuckle."Willy, what do you think about the current domestic consumer market and the overall direction of the economy?" Sebastian's question caught the attention of several NVMD entrepreneurs nearby, who began to gather behind Willy, Owen, and Sebastian, hoping to gain some useful insights from the three NVMD moguls.

    "Willy, I can go get the chips myself!" Owen said, waving his hand."Come on, it's just a family game of dice. No need to go back and forth. Take it! The rest is your pocket money. I know your mom has been keeping a close eye on you," Willy teased."Alright, alright. I still need your help!" Owen was excited. Normally, Paisley was quite strict with him, and on this trip, she had even given him 10 million as pocket money. If that wasn’t enough, he could always ask her for more. He hadn't expected his son-in-law to be so generous."Okay, let's start! To be fair, the dice are usually shaken by a dealer," Willy said."Right! So, how do we place our bets? Do we bet first or wait?" Willy asked."Just look at the numbers on the table. Place your bet on the number you think will show up. If you bet too much, the dealer will ask others if they want to match your bet," Owen explained while taking Willy's money."Got it! I’m ready. How abou

As they got closer, they could hear David muttering, “You must be cheating! There’s no way you could know what cards I have. I don’t believe it! I’m asking for a check!”"Willy, that table—apart from the four major families—has that man, Thaddeus, the son of the Gambling God!""Gambling God! What?

    "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

    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

    Willy swung the iron rod with reckless abandon, ruthlessly smashing the limbs of the J Country assassin!Of course, Willy was careful not to strike too hard—he didn’t want the man to die just yet.After a long period of beating, the man’s limbs were broken. Willy then took out a healing ointment from his pocket, mixed it with a little water, and with a smile, said to the nearly lifeless assassin, "You know what my greatest strength is? It’s not my combat abilities; it's my power to revive you just before you die. This is the super medicine from my Willy’s company! Drink this, and your limbs will quickly heal! Then I’ll inject you with this pink drug and break your limbs again! How does that sound?""You! You’re a devil!""Did you call me a devil when you tried to kill my son and me?" Willy chuckled as he pried open the man’s mouth and force-fed him the entire vial of the healing ointment, then waited for him

    "Fuck!" After Willy didn’t know how many buckets of water he had thrown, the assassin finally woke up!"You—You tied me up? What are you going to do to me?""Heh, don’t be scared. As for what I’ll do, take a look at the man in front of you. He was also sent to assassinate me and my child. Unfortunately, neither of you has the skills or the strength, and now you’ve fallen into my hands. I have some questions, and I want to see if you’re willing to cooperate.""I won’t cooperate with you! Just kill me already!""Heh, killing you outright would be too easy. I want to play a bit first. Do you see the man in front of you? I just injected him with a special drug! This drug amplifies a person’s sense of touch by dozens of times. In other words, if I lightly touch him, it’ll feel like excruciating pain. Let me give it a try."Willy approached the man and gently slapped his face.In an instant, th

Don't let them get away with this!""Mm, I'm going now. Get some rest. If you're worried about not being able to sleep, just wait for me to come back!" After comforting Violet, Willy boarded his aircraft. Meanwhile, the assassin who spoke J Country's language still had blood pouring from his head, and Willy looked at his aircraft with sympathy—it was already getting dirty again!He flew to the gates of the mansion, went through security checks, and after Black Wolf checked the aircraft's safety, Willy piloted it inside the compound."Willy, Big Shot said you encountered assassins?""Yeah, these two guys came to assassinate my son. I spotted them before they could strike. I need to know who's behind this, so I brought them here for interrogation!"

    “What!!!!!!” Violet screamed! Her voice was so loud that it woke Una and Finn up on the second floor, and Paisley, who was sitting nearby, was startled by her daughter’s scream. Seeing her daughter’s expression, Paisley immediately knew something had happened at home!“Babe, stay calm, everything’s fine now, right?!”“Dear, are you hurt? What happened exactly?”“I’m fine. Two people broke into the house tonight. It seems like they were hired by my business enemies, though I need to interrogate them further. It’s possible they were sent by someone else. They were caught as soon as they entered, and Wione and the others subdued them. Charles wasn’t affected at all! So don’t worry! How are Una and Finn?”“They’re fine! I’m coming home now! Did you catch them? Did you call the police?”“Babe, we can’t call the police. The author
