Violet Brown felt a bit exasperated, watching Willy Morgan flip through the book so quickly. She couldn’t help but comment, “How can you read like that, flipping the pages so fast? Do you think you’re some kind of prodigy? Can you even understand it?”

Hearing Violet’s words, Willy looked up again at the girl in front of him. She was refreshingly elegant, with fair skin, a cute, playful appearance, and expressive eyes that seemed to speak volumes. Her face had dimples on both cheeks, giving her a friendly and approachable aura. Her shoulder-length hair cascaded naturally, slightly wavy, and her high-end yet casual outfit in soft lavender perfectly complemented her delicate, feminine temperament.

For the first time, Willy found himself intrigued.

“Who knows? Maybe I *am* a prodigy.”

“Yeah, right! Keep dreaming!”

“Don’t believe me?”

“Not at all.”

“Okay, how about this: I’ve read up to page 221. Ask me anything from any page before that, and I’ll answer it.”

Willy smiled and handed the bo

    An hour later, Willy Morgan and Violet Brown exited the bookstore together, walking side by side. Willy glanced toward the distant bodyguards and driver, shaking his head slightly. Violet did the same, gesturing to her own group of people with a similar gesture.They made their way to Babylon Restaurant, a well-known Middle Eastern spot in New York."Order whatever you want," Violet said, flashing a bright smile. Willy didn’t hold back, choosing a few dishes that seemed appealing, and the two began chatting."I just realized I don't even know your name," Violet said, raising an eyebrow playfully."Willy Morgan, and you?""I'm Violet. So, are you a professional investor? Where did you go to school?"Willy paused, considering his answer. "Not exactly a professional investor. I have my hands in a few areas—investments, R&D, securities. I graduated from the University of Los Angeles.""Oh, I’m from New

    "Brother, I’m not stupid. I’m about to graduate from college—how could I still be fooled by someone?" Violet’s words made Tian realize that while his sister might not have focused on her studies, she was definitely exceptional in other areas, with plenty of talents. With such a capable sister, it seemed unlikely she’d be tricked. Could it be that the person Violet spoke of was actually quite remarkable?The two siblings made a deal: next time Violet met with Willy Morgan, she would record their conversation so Tian could assess the situation. If Willy wasn’t as impressive as Violet claimed, she wouldn’t be allowed to meet with him alone anymore. Reluctantly, Violet agreed, feeling confident that Willy would leave her brother speechless.After the Labor Day holiday ended, Willy Morgan contacted both Sebastian Robinson and the high-ranking official in the morning of May 8th to inform them that the 100,000 chips were ready, priced at $2,999 each. Neither of them attempted to haggle over t

    Tian shook his head at Violet as their father, Owen Brown, went back to his room. Tian knew exactly what was on their father’s mind: he was afraid that Violet might marry too early or be deceived, as she was a cherished daughter of a prominent family. Being overly close with a stranger wasn’t something they could afford to take lightly.When Willy Morgan returned home, he checked his system interface. His recent expenditures had nearly pushed him to level 6, with just a few hundred experience points left. He hadn’t yet used the predictive function, a feature he knew was too valuable to ignore.“System, activate the prediction function.”“Ding! Prediction activated. Please wait…”“Ding! Prediction complete. On May 18th, a 9.4 magnitude earthquake will hit Japan, causing the stock market to plummet from 18,994 points to 7,144 points. Please seize the opportunity!”“A massive earthquake? System, will this affect us back home?”“No direct impact on your region, but there will be mild tremo

    After a six-hour flight, Willy Morgan landed at New York Airport. He had slept through most of the journey and felt relatively refreshed. Upon turning on his phone, he was bombarded with countless messages from people concerned about him, worried that he might have been affected by the earthquake in J-Country. Willy quickly posted a status update on social media: *"All good, back home safe!"* Then, he turned off his phone and found a secluded spot where he could activate his Martial God Mode and make his way back to his estate without any hassle.Once home, Willy relaxed and checked the control panel of his now-upgraded Level 6 system. In addition to the original five functions, a new one appeared, labeled *"Exchange."*"System! What's the deal with this Exchange function?" Willy asked, curious."Host, the Exchange function has two purposes. First, you can swap this feature with any other active function. Second, you can offer any high-tech items or valuable objects you no longer need

    Tian watched Willy Morgan leave the restaurant with his bodyguards and driver. Curious, he quietly followed them. Soon, he saw Willy get into an SSC Tuatara, followed by a Ferrari and two Lamborghini Veneno cars. Tian was taken aback—how could there be someone this wealthy in New York, and yet he didn’t know them?Back at the restaurant table, Violet glared angrily at her father, Owen, and brother, Tian. Tian felt a bit guilty for the intrusion."Excuse me, sir, ma’am... your food is here," the waiter announced as dish after dish was brought to the table.Owen attempted to speak. "Daughter, I—""Father, let’s eat first. I don’t want to argue in public. I’ve always wanted to come to this restaurant, but never had the chance. Now that I’m here, let's not ruin it. Just enjoy the meal," Violet interrupted, clearly holding back her frustrations.Tian could sense that his sister was hiding something.After a moment, Tian went to the front desk to ask, "Excuse me, how much was our table's bi

    Paisley returned to the bedroom and saw Owen lying on the bed, scrolling through his phone. She walked over and tugged on his ear."Ouch! What are you doing?" Owen yelped."What do you think I’m doing? Why did you embarrass Violet's friend like that? You let him pay for the meal but didn’t let him eat, then you and Tian had a grand feast with Violet. What does that look like? If word gets out that the head of The Brown Family set up a scam to con an ordinary person out of a 6-million-dollar meal, where would you hide your face?""Well…""And don’t forget—you followed your own daughter with Tian. Don’t you think that’s going too far? You might be Violet's father, but she has the right to make her own friends and live her own life. If people found out, what would the media say? Even if Violet did nothing wrong, your actions could be twisted by the tabloids, painting her as irresponsible. That would be a huge scandal, and no matter what, Violet wouldn’t be able to shake it off. You’ve al

    Willy Morgan and his group arrived at the hotel lobby, passed through security, handed over their invitations, and received their bidding paddles. A hostess led them directly into the venue."Master, many prominent families are here today," Eleanor quietly reminded him."Oh?" Willy replied casually."That over there is Anthony Lee, the heir to the second-ranked Lee Family in New York. Despite his status, he doesn't have a good reputation or much capability, but the Lee Family’s influence remains strong, so many people flatter him.""That gentleman is Hudson Hernandez, heir to the Hernandez Family."Willy nodded again, taking in the information without much reaction.Just then, a familiar voice called out, "I was just talking about you, and here you are! Willy, my brother!""Sebastian!" Willy greeted with a smile as Sebastian Robinson approached."Come on, Willy, let me introduce you to a few people!" Sebastian led him ove

    “Violet, you can’t keep rushing around like this,” Tian scolded gently as they arrived at the venue, though his tone was more concerned than reprimanding. Both Violet and Tian nodded politely to the other attendees, acknowledging the presence of the four prominent families.“I know, big brother,” Violet responded.Hearing a familiar voice, Willy Morgan turned around and was surprised to see Violet.“Violet?”“Willy! You’re here too?” Violet exclaimed with delight. Tian swore he had never seen his sister's eyes sparkle like this before, not since the time he first experienced love. “Yeah, I’m here as well,” Willy responded with a smile.Suddenly, a voice interrupted their pleasant exchange, dripping with disdain. “Ah, birds of a feather, as they say. I always thought the eldest daughter of The Brown Family would at least end up with someone from one of the four major families, or perhaps someone from Washington or Singapore. But no, she chose some ordinary guy,” Aaliyah Miller, who wa

    "Bro, you good?" Black Wolf and the others asked as they gathered around Silver Wing."I'm fine. Thanks to Willy's warning, I just feel bad about making you guys lose money!" Silver Wing said, feeling guilty."It's alright. That money isn't a big deal. We've already made a huge profit off Willy this time!" Crescent Moon comforted him."You guys can always invest in me again later!" Silver Wing offered with a grin."Willy? What do you mean by that? After they know your fighting power, who would still dare to fight you?" Black Wolf asked, puzzled."It's hard to say. Just now, I made a comment that I could take on 30 at once, and then I saw that guy from J Country seemed to be gathering people. Heh, maybe I'll actually get a chance to make some more money later!" Willy wasn't just talking randomly; he had said it deliberately for certain ears to hear. He had overheard the guy from J Country whispering, looking for a chance to target Willy, possibly ev

    228: First Time Using the Time Travel Button

    Willy entered the control panel and immediately clicked the "Time Travel" button. A time-setting interface appeared, and following the system's explanation, Willy adjusted the time backwards by 6 minutes, accounting for the minute or so wasted during their conversation. After setting the time, he clicked "Confirm!"The moment he did, Willy felt an intense surge of energy, and the surroundings seemed to warp around him. He saw Black Wolf and the others shouting over Silver Wing’s body, then witnessed Silver Wing being dragged off the arena. The scene of Silver Wing's death unfolded, followed by the fight between the three opponents. Various images flashed before him in what seemed like only 2 seconds.When Willy regained his senses, he took a moment to assess his surroundings. Everything felt familiar, but he was now back at the moment before the fight had even begun.Black Wolf, Rose, and the others were there, cheering on Silver Wing. Willy also noticed t

    The next three rounds of the competition were pretty lackluster. Willy sat in the audience, snacking on some fruit, while his mind wandered, communicating with the system."System, what do you think I'll get for clocking in here?" Willy asked, still curious.The system responded, "Host, the rewards you get from checking in are closely related to the location. You should have figured this out from your last check-in. You can try it out again!""Alright! I’ll clock in now!" Willy closed his eyes slowly and pressed the check-in button on the system's interface."Beep! Congratulations, host! You've received five top-tier human-form combat soldiers! Please select a location for delivery."Willy opened his eyes in surprise. "Whoa! Combat soldiers?! System, what exactly are these human-form combat soldiers? Aren’t they human?"The system explained, "Host, human-form combat soldiers are highly advanced robots developed in a future world.

    "You! You’re talking nonsense! You two are working together! I’m going to condemn both of you! Don’t listen to their slander!" The leader of A Country quickly tried to defend himself."Willy, there’s no solid proof for these claims, so let’s focus on the competition for now! Besides, your company already has a special medicine for this skin infection, which is what's important for everyone here.""Yes, boss!" Willy understood his leader’s meaning perfectly. Right now, the most important thing was making money! As for other matters, without evidence, words alone would mean nothing. Even if Willy openly shared his conversation with Shawn, the leader of A Country would come up with a hundred excuses to deny it. Rather than getting bogged down in this, Willy preferred to leave the suspicions in the air and finish the competition."I surrender! I can’t beat you!" The A Country mercenary immediately waved a white flag wi

The A Country mercenary had no other choice. Plus, after seeing Kambella’s current state, it seemed like she might actually stand a chance against Willy now!"Good! Then let's go!" Kambella said, and in a flash, she charged toward Willy. Willy was momentarily surprised at her speed, which seemed to match some of his own after activating his "God of War" mode! The potion she had taken must be incredibly powerful!Kambella reached Willy and, without hesitation, leaped into the air, aiming to land a powerful kick directly to Willy's head.Bu

    Willy then took out the remaining 100 billion from his account and placed it on the table for a bet with the other mercenaries. To everyone watching, it seemed like Willy had completely lost his mind—this was an impossible fight for him to win!However, people like Giant, Black Wolf, Rose, Blade, and Crescent Moon, who were watching closely, eagerly threw in their life savings, betting that Willy would come out victorious.In the end, a massive and astonishing bet was formed. Aside from the four patents and the assets pledged by the four countries, there was an additional 80 trillion NVMD coins, with equal stakes from four other nations. The smaller bets placed by Willy and the other mercenaries amounted to nearly 120 billion!The host, looking at the massive stakes, was sweating nervously. But with the match about to begin, he called out, "Gentlemen, please get ready! The next battle is about to begin!"Willy took off his shoes and set them aside,

It seems you're going to lose terribly this time!" someone from J Country mocked, pretending not to recognize Willy."Hey, whose dog cage door isn’t locked?" Willy shot back."Dog? Where’s the dog? You bastard! Hope you still have that sharp mouth when the match starts!" The J Country leader took a while to catch on.Clearing his throat , Willy continued, "Let me make this clear. As you all know, I'm a businessman who loves making deals. You also know I hold many patents. A Country, J Country, D Country, and F Country, haven’t you all been eyeing my patents for a while?

They acted as if they were placing bets, but in reality, they were discussing how to defeat NVMD's mercenaries."I see Willy is also participating. Didn't expect him to be a mercenary. This is getting interesting," one leader said."Yeah, the info says he’s offering his company’s patent as a bet. Since that's the case, let's focus all our efforts on him. We don’t need to worry about Black Wolf or Silver Wing. I suggest we go to the Australian leader and pressure him into changing the lineup for the second match.

    After dinner, Willy rested for half an hour before boarding the armored bus. With a dozen others, they set off toward the battlefield.The ride was only about seven or eight minutes, and Willy expected to arrive at a typical underground black boxing ring. However, to his surprise, the event was being held in a small theater instead.As Willy and the group entered the venue, they drew the attention of many spectators around them."Is that the new guy from NVMD? Doesn't look like much! Why did NVMD bring so many people this time? Other than Black Wolf and Silver Wing, they actually sent a rookie to make up the numbers. Are Giant and Dove crippled or something? Haha!"A mercenary from Country D sneered as he looked at Black Wolf and the others. Willy heard the comment and
