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
Violet was fuming inside but managed to keep her composure. Tian leaned over to her and whispered, “We’re representing The Brown Family today, so we’ll make a donation of 50 million. You can make the announcement.”Violet looked at Tian, smiled, and said, “Thanks, brother.”Sitting nearby, Willy Morgan overheard their conversation clearly. He started calculating how much he should donate to avoid looking stingy. After all, that "higher-up" was well aware of his profits from shorting the J-market. He didn’t want to come across as miserly, but at the same time, donating too much would draw unwanted attention.The auctioneer started the donation call, and it kicked off in earnest.“Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the donation bidding starts now. The initial bid is one U.S. dollar!”"One dollar? What can that do? My company, Tianhong Electronics, is pledging 4 million!”"Changyuan Tech pledges 5 million!”"Ludu Garden pledges 8 million!”"Beichuan Travel pledges 10 million!”"Meijin Invest
Anthony Lee shouted, "Organizers, verify his checks immediately! If the funds aren't there, he's a fraud, issuing fake checks!"Willy retorted sarcastically, "Why don't you put up your own 1.1 billion while you're at it? By the time your sister opened her mouth, your Lee Family's reputation was already gone."Violet, still stunned by what had just happened, couldn't believe that Willy had donated 100 billion dollars on her behalf. That was an unimaginable amount. She quickly did the math: with her monthly allowance of 200,000 dollars, it would take her over 4166 years to save up that kind of money! How could she ever repay this?“Willy is... really something, isn't he?” Tian said in awe.Violet snapped back to reality when Tian called her name. “Yeah, brother, I said hello to him earlier, didn’t you hear?”“No, I didn’t notice until he made that donation! He donated 100 billion in
At The Brown Family estate:“Mom, Dad, we’re back!” Tian called out, handing his coat to the maid as he and Violet walked into the living room.“Hm, did you win anything at the auction today?” Owen asked casually.“Dad, some major things happened today, and we need to have a serious talk.” Tian sat Violet down on the couch across from their father. Violet was still in a daze—unsure if she was simply overwhelmed with happiness or still trying to process everything that had happened. Paisley noticed her daughter's absent-minded expression and gently tapped her shoulder. “Violet, are you okay?”“She’s still floating in her bubble of happiness!” Tian teased, sipping his tea. “Not as good as the tea at Hunzhi, though.”“Well, of course not! Hunzhi serves premium Da Hong Pao tea that costs millions per ounce. This is just ordinary tea! There&rsqu
“Old man, what’s going on with you?” Paisley could tell Owen was upset.“What do you mean? I just don’t want Violet associating with someone who’s not serious about her! People like that are only interested in getting close to Violet because they’re after our family’s wealth!”“Owen!!!!” Paisley suddenly shouted, startling Tian, Owen, and even the maids in the room.The maids thought to themselves, *Uh-oh, the mistress is about to explode!*“Dear... you...”“What do you mean ‘you’? Don’t think I don’t see through your little scheme. What’s this nonsense about him wanting our family’s wealth? The Brown Family’s wealth might not even compare to that boy’s fortune! If you’re so rich, why didn’t you donate 100 billion for your daughter? Why didn’t you represent our family’s businesses and donate 900 billion? Now that our daughter has grown up and found a boy she likes, I fully support her pursuing her happiness. We’ve always believed in social standing being important for marriage, and fr
Willy stood up and followed the leaders to the betting area, intending to place his own bets."Heh, looks like the NVMD guy is a newcomer. 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? How about we make a big bet?"
"Understood, boss! We'll give it our all!"At this moment, the leaders from A Country, J Country, D Country, and F Country gathered together and moved to the betting area. 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. We’ll put our strongest three from D Country, F Country, and A Country together and tak
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
Willy glanced at the two men, putting his finger to his lips, signaling them to be quiet.The two of them, somewhat embarrassed, sat back down.By 6 PM, the seminar finally came to an end. Willy felt like his buttocks were about to crack from sitting so long. The seats in the theater were made of wood, with no cushions!"Willy, you did well today," said the leader, "But you've made the formula so clear. If they manage to replicate it, it could impact your company's sales.""Boss, just quietly look at the names of all the ingredients in my formula, and read the first letter of each one aloud," Willy whispered in the leader's ear.The leader glanced at Willy, then grabbed the
“Good afternoon, esteemed guests and scientific friends! The afternoon sharing session is about to begin. Today we have eight presentations, and one of them is by Mr. Willy from NVMD, sharing the global treatment plan and formula for skin infectious diseases. I wonder how many of you are looking forward to it! Alright, I won’t say too much, so let's get started! First up, let’s invite Mr. Willy from NVMD to present his medical share!”Willy stood there, holding his notes, pondering for a moment. Wasn’t his presentation supposed to be later, in the second round? Why was he being called up first? It seemed like someone wanted to extract the medicine formula from him directly during his talk. If they couldn't figure it out, they’d probably make trouble for him. But Willy wasn’t afraid of trouble anymore!
“Hmph!” The J Country leader turned around to look at his brother from A Country. A Country’s leader just shrugged and said nothing.Both were in the same situation—needing to get Willy’s formula, so they could endure for now.Willy was sitting in his chair when a staff member suddenly handed him a small device that looked like a pair of earphones. The staff member gestured for him to wear it, and Willy quickly understood. It was a language translator, provided for all attendees to prevent communication issues.“No need,” Willy said, “I’m fluent in all the world’s languages.”The staff member, hearing Willy’s response, looked at him with admiration.
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System
“I didn’t know that! I thought you were just teasing me!” Willy replied honestly. He had assumed that Rose developed some feelings for him because he saved her, and that she just liked to joke around with him.“You didn’t know? Can’t you feel it?” Rose felt like Willy was pretending not to notice.“What am I supposed to feel? All I feel is you teasing me all the time! Rose, you’re being weird. I’m already married. What are you doing?” Willy frowned, trying to make sense of the situation.“I don’t know… maybe I just can’t accept it?” Rose admitted.“Wait, hold on. You’re not liking me just because I saved you, are you? If that’s the case, next time I’
“Instructor, what exactly do you do? The last time we went to your place, it felt like we were walking into a palace. We were all shocked. We thought you were the top mercenary hiding behind a major mercenary organization!” Dream Guangze and Liang, both newly promoted mercenaries, asked with curiosity.“Yeah, what’s the deal, Instructor?” someone else chimed in.“Haven’t Black Wolf and the others told you about me yet?” Willy asked, raising an eyebrow.“No! And Naomi’s left too! But I heard Naomi went to your place!” Josiah responded, eyes widening.“Damn it, Josiah! Did I just learn something I shouldn’t have?” Dream Guangze, Liang, and the others all looked intrigued. They all knew Jo
"That’s great! The card’s been set up, right? How’s the baby’s heartbeat? Sweetie, listen to your mom! When a woman is pregnant, she really has to be careful. No cold drafts, and especially no cold water! When you went to the beach, how was the water temperature?""Mom, Willy's really careful. The sea water is warm, and the pool under our castle is heated like a hot spring! So, I’m fine!" Violet reassured her."Ah, well, still be cautious. Listen to me, I’ve told you this before—watch what you eat! Before..." Paisley continued, her voice full of concern.Meanwhile, Willy had been chatting with Owen and Tian in the living room for over an hour, but Violet and Paisley hadn't come downstairs yet. Owen glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late, and decided to go upstairs to find them."My dear, what are you and our daughter doing? It’s getting late; Violet needs to head home soon, right?" Owen asked.
