"Not exactly! Big Shot, why don’t you tell me what you know first?"
"I don’t have much firsthand knowledge, but the previous Big Shot told me this—back in the last century, there were sightings of mermaids in various ocean currents, especially in the Atlantic. The number of confirmed sightings was very low, and most of the captured mermaids managed to escape. The only one successfully captured was sent to A Country’s research lab, but a few days later, everyone in that lab mysteriously died, as if wiped out by some kind of virus. Since then, mermaid sightings have become even rarer. Since you’ve met the Reptilians, I assume you’d believe in the existence of mermaids too?"
"Whoa, wait… are we talking about Atlantis? The legendary civilization? I remember reading online that they were descendants of sea gods!"
"Sea gods? Bah! That&rsq

"Oh wow, Babe, since when did you start caring so much about Paul?""Shut up! I don’t care about him. I’m just worried he might embarrass us. After all, I am incredibly capable—managing such a massive company like Willy Environmental at a young age. If someone like him, who went to school with me, turns out to be useless, it makes me look bad too!" Violet said matter-of-factly.Willy widened his eyes, staring at Violet from head to toe, then back up again."Why are you looking at me like that?""Haha! I’m just realizing that your shamelessness is finally on par with mine!""What do you mean shameless?! I’m just speaking the truth! It’s a fact!""Sure, sure, it’s the truth. Alright, let’s talk about your dear classmate.""Go on. If he’s not doing well, just send him home. I don’t care," Violet said casually."His work is excellent. Honestly, I think he might be better t

"Wish granted!" Willy tossed his wish into the system’s wishing panel."Ding! Wish successfully made! Please wait until the day your Babe gives birth to witness the results! System refreshing, please wait."Willy’s wish was simple—he hoped Violet would give birth to a healthy pair of fraternal twins.With that weight off his shoulders, Willy happily arrived at his company. But the moment he saw Paul, his body tensed up.This wasn’t the kind of nervousness one felt before an exam or a life-changing event. No, this was something more primal—the kind of unease that came from natural predator-prey instincts.That’s when Willy fully realized—Paul’s feelings toward him weren’t just admiration."Boss! Would you like coffee today?""No, no, I’m good. You go ahead and get back to work. No need to stand around waiting for my orders.""Heh, of course, Boss! I’ll be off then."Paul immediately sensed Willy’s discomfort. With a sligh

"Hey! You’re the richest man in the world, and you’re making your little sister pay for lunch?!""What, you don’t want to? Come on, you’re basically a rich girl yourself now. Are you seriously hesitating about treating your own brother to a meal at the university cafeteria?""Hahaha, I never said I didn’t want to! Alright, fine! Order whatever you want! I’ll pay! It’s no big deal!"The five of them walked into the crowded university cafeteria. Willy couldn’t help but nostalgically take in the lively atmosphere, but he also noticed something unusual—both Wione and Withree looked visibly uncomfortable.Maverick noticed as well, but before he could say anything, Willy gave him a look."Maverick, go with my sister and order a variety of dishes. Wione and Withree will stay here with me—I need a short break."Willy understood them well. After all, they weren’t human—they were

"You’re going to handle it personally? How exactly?" Big Shot sounded surprised."Don’t worry about that. Just recall your people first. I’m also planning to take a trip to Antarctica.""Alright, got it! Willy, thanks for your help. By the way, any updates on the weapon repair?""Still in progress. Not sure if it can be fixed yet. You worry too much—at your age, you should be taking care of your health.""Hmph. A few more years and I’ll be retired. Anyway, wait for my update at 6 PM tonight.""Sounds good!"Just as Willy hung up, Abigail raised an eyebrow."Bro, you’re so funny. Calling him Big Shot—what, are you working for some government leaders or something?"Her joking tone made Willy, Maverick, and Wione freeze for a second, then they all turned to look at her."Wait… no way… I was right?!" Abigail’s eyes widened. Her brother was actually involved with p

"Amazing! They can switch between different breathing modes on their own?""Of course! Both they and we Reptilians are native species of Earth. However, their alertness is much stronger than ours! But when it comes to detecting danger, they fall short. Maybe it’s because they’ve lived in the ocean for too long, or maybe it’s because the ocean is too vast and deep. Sound waves and sonar signals travel differently in water than they do in air.""How many mermaids exist?""Willy, are you asking about the number of their species, or their total population?""Both!""The mermaid race is divided into three types."The first type is ordinary mermaids, the most common. These are the ones I described earlier—human-sized, egg-laying, and capable of thriving in the ocean."The second type is warrior mermaids. These are massive, with huge tails and razor-sharp dorsal fins. Even their forearms have fins that function as wea

"Willy, are we moving out?" One of the invisible Reptilians spoke, snapping Willy out of his thoughts."Ah! Yes, let’s go. There are six targets, and here are their coordinates, photos, and locations. How do you guys memorize this information?""We only need one glance. Reptilians have perfect memory!""And the other five…?""I’ll explain it to them. Oh, Willy, once we capture these six, where should we deliver them?""Bring them here—to this location!" Willy sent the coordinates. "I’ll be waiting there.""No problem! Based on these locations, we should be done quickly. Just wait here!""Alright, be careful. Stay hidden, don’t get caught!""Don’t worry, Willy. Once we go invisible, we don’t leave a trace.""How are you going to transport them back?""With this." One of the Reptilians pulled out a strange-looking flower."…What the hell is that?"

Willy stayed up late into the night, guessing that Big Shot had probably wrapped up the negotiations. He sent a quick message."Big Shot, how did it go?""Heh, kid, are you spying on me?""Spying? Not at all.""Not at all? Then why is your timing so damn perfect? I just finished forcing them to sign a series of highly unfavorable agreements, and I even recorded the whole thing. There’s no way they can deny it.""Oh? Tell me the details, Big Shot.""I had my men wake them up with water. At first, they put on an act, trying to talk about international law and regulations. So, I gave them a little tour—had them take a look at some ancient NVMD torture devices. I was just about to let them try them out personally, and before I knew it, they were scrambling to sign the agreements. It happened so fast, I didn’t even get to react."I added a few extra conditions on top of our original agreement. I doubt they’ll dare b

"Alright then." Willy figured it was about time to start searching for mermaids in the ocean. Maybe he’d make some unexpected discoveries—after all, the ocean was vast, filled with hidden treasures and secrets that no one knew about.Meanwhile, Logan had successfully repaired the Divine Beam Cannon, which Willy then returned to Big Shot. He made sure to warn him clearly this time—do not let those scientists mess with it again.Big Shot, having learned his lesson, assured Willy that he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. He also provided potential factory locations for Willy Manufacturing’s expansion, leaving the final decision up to Willy. Once he made up his mind, he could just contact Big Shot’s secretary to get things moving.But for now, the ocean’s secrets were calling to him. Once he wrapped up some final tasks and made sure Violet was settled, he’d set off.That afternoon, while Willy was in his off

"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

"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.

"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? I’m giving you a heads up, they might come for you soon.""They’re brave. Who gave them the courage? Was it Liang Jingru?""Who?

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
