352: Explosion

During dinner, Dr. KJ thought to himself that it was still too early to call the Big Shot. If he asked for Willy's contact information now, he’d probably get an earful. It was better to wait a bit longer.

"Dr. KJ, do you really believe that the engine will explode if we open it? We've been in research for so long, and we all know that unless there’s an ignition device, there’s no way something would explode. I mean, a businessman making a transportation vehicle wouldn’t randomly put a bomb inside the engine of a spacecraft. If it exploded and killed someone, he’d be punished too!" the leader of the Russian team asked.

"Honestly, I’m not sure. But before we left, our Big Shot told us very clearly not to participate in dismantling the engine. If we get blown up, it won’t be considered work-related injury. I think it’s best to follow the orders. Dr. Lou, what do you think?" Dr. KJ replied.

"Since you’ve mentione

    As NVMD’s Big Shot returned his attention to the online meeting, the discussion had escalated into a full-blown argument. Only a few people had remained silent."What do you think, NVMD?" the Big Shot from D Country asked."I just spoke to our researchers," replied the NVMD representative. "The researchers from F Country brought a spacecraft engine on-site. Even though they knew dismantling it could cause an explosion, they still went ahead and did it. I think they bear the most responsibility for this incident. As for many other countries’ researchers, they didn’t participate in the dismantling, so they must have followed your warnings. So, each country should take care of their own researchers’ affairs.""What?! You NVMD people are okay?" the Big Shot from Y Country exclaimed, surprised."Of course. Before we left, I reminded everyone several times. That’s why we were able to avoid the disaster. Russia, your people are okay

    Willy had been waiting for his scheduled trip to Paris, France, after the 20th, where he planned to enjoy a few days of leisure before heading to the Naga Film Festival. Finally, Big Shot called him!"Willy, are you available tonight?""Tonight? For the weapon test? I think that should be fine, but my weapon can't be tested within the city, it might scare people! How about we go somewhere farther out?""How about the open area outside the northern reservoir? Does that work?""That works. But Big Shot, are you sure about which asteroid we’re testing it on?""Yes, we’re good to go. Our scientists said we can choose any large moon of Saturn. I’ll bring the team to the location and pick one, and you just need to operate your machine to destroy it. Sound good?""No problem! I’ll get ready and contact the team to bring the truck over!""Great! See you tonight."After hanging up, Willy told Logan to arrange for

    Once the cannon system locked onto the target, Willy grinned and asked Big Shot, “Big Shot, are you ready? We're about to fire!”“Oh? Should we move farther back?”“No need! Just sit tight, and keep your eyes on the big screen!” Willy replied before pressing the fire button.The moment he did, a beam of light shot from the Divine Beam Cannon, soaring into the sky, quickly disappearing from sight.On the big screen, Big Shot and his team watched as the beam struck the target planet in just two to three seconds. In an instant, the planet vanished completely!"This is impossible!! Dr. Suu! Is there something wrong with your equipment? Check it immediately!" Big Shot shouted, clearly stunned."Uh..." Dr. Suu and the team were all dumbfounded. The equipment was perfectly fine, and the telescope was still working. All the planets they could observe were still there, except for the one Willy had

    "That's great, at least your parents won’t have to worry anymore! By the way, I’ve arranged the trip to France for us. We’re flying on the 20th, and I was initially thinking about taking the flying vehicle, but we’ll need a visa to enter. Since we’re attending the film festival, it’s better to do things the proper way. My poor baby will have to endure the flight!""Darling, don’t say that. The plane we're taking is a world-class, custom-built private jet. How could it be considered a hardship? I’m actually quite happy about it. It’s you who’s the one acting all fancy here!""Hehe, well, it’s not that bad. It’s just that flying on a plane takes up too much time!""So when do you think your flying vehicle will be ready to conquer the skies and rule the world?""Conquer the world? Haha, that’s a bit much! It’s not really about conquering, just waiting for the global permissio

    "My god, old buddy, the light beam that suddenly appeared in the NVMD region the other day, disappearing in just two seconds, and at the same time, one of Saturn's moons vanished! Could this be your doing? Was it your experiment?""Haha, yes! It was through this experiment that I finally put my mind at ease! How about that? The superweapon I developed should be able to solve the crisis we're facing right now, right?""Old buddy, not only will it solve the crisis, but you could also easily take care of those annoying troublemakers who are always stirring up trouble!" The representative from Russia, a notorious war fanatic, didn’t hold back in expressing his thoughts. Several Big Shots from other countries instantly fell silent, some nervous, others even more fearful."Alright, now that everyone knows and has quieted down, let me share my thoughts. The weapon has already been developed. For that asteroid, NVMD will step up to protect all life on Earth. But I

    The two of them sat in the flying vehicle, and Violet asked, "Where are we going?"Willy pointed at the sky, "Look at all the stars up there. Wherever you want to go, we’ll go.""Are you okay?" Violet touched Willy’s forehead. He didn’t have a fever, so why was he talking nonsense? He hadn’t even slept, so why was he suddenly acting like he was sleepwalking?"Come on, choose quickly, babe!""Whatever, I’ll follow your lead!""Then let’s head to the moon first. I’ll show you what it’s like to see Earth from the moon! Are you ready?"Violet thought Willy was just joking around, like he was fooling a child. She nodded, "Okay, I’m ready. Our spaceship can take off now!"Willy set the coordinates and immediately shot off into space!Violet felt a sharp buzz in her head, and then, to her astonishment, she noticed the white planet in front of her growing unbelievably huge!A

    "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

    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

    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!

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.
