Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 51: Opening Bid of 100 Billion
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
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 55: The Invitation
A bracelet-like object appeared on Willy's wrist, slightly lighter than gold with a purple ornament. Willy pressed the ornament, which popped open to reveal a small red, square-shaped medicinal substance. This was the fabled Restoration Ointment. He removed one piece and then pressed the purple ornament back, retrieving another piece.Willy remembered that this substance needed to be diluted with water and could also be mixed with other medicinal ingredients. It seemed like he would need to learn more about herbs. If he could combine the ointment with some health remedies and sell it to the market and hospitals, he’d be raking in gold.As Willy was lost in his thoughts, dreaming of success, his phone rang. Seeing who was calling, he couldn’t help but smile.“Hello, Violet! What a pleasant surprise to hear from you so early!”“Hehe, of course, I wanted to say thank you! By the way, my mom wants to invite you over for dinner today. Are you free?”“I’m free! What time...?”“Come by at 4

Standing at the entrance of The Brown Family estate, Willy suddenly felt nervous.“Come on, let’s go. What’s wrong?” Violet asked as she noticed Willy hesitating.“Nothing, just… let’s go inside. We should let the staff take the gifts in first,” Willy said, trying to compose himself. He picked up the tea, the two watches, and the Hermès Tanaka Ginza bag—these were the gifts specifically for Violet’s family, and he wanted to make a good impression.As they entered the mansion, Willy couldn’t help but admire the estate. The Brown Family home was a three-story villa, covering more than 1,200 square meters. In the backyard was a clean swimming pool, and the rooftop terrace was lush with greenery. The surrounding area was designed to feel like a tropical rainforest, giving the place a warm and inviting atmosphere.“Mom, Dad! I brought Willy!” Violet called out as they walked through the door.“Oh, you’re back! Willy, come in, have a seat!” Tian came down from upstairs, approaching Willy wi

Willy had a clear plan for how many chips his company would release to the market. He was cautious not to let his chips become too widespread, understanding that even if he had patented technology, the more abundant a product became, the less valuable its individual unit would be. This was basic business logic, no matter how innovative the technology was.Although Willy had strong feelings for Violet—feelings that went beyond mere friendship—he remained level-headed. Business was business, and it needed to be treated with professionalism."That's great! Thank you, Willy! Even 40,000 chips per month is a huge help. As long as we get some, we're happy," Tian said excitedly."Brother, Willy rarely gets a chance to visit. Let’s not talk about work all the time! Willy, what do you like to do in your free time?" Violet asked, hoping to learn more about him."Me? Does making money count? Hahaha.""Come on, I’m being serious!"<

"How did you know?" Tian exclaimed."I can tell just by looking at your expression!" Willy teased. "But don’t worry, I’ll be cautious.""Willy, let me ask you a serious question. Do you like my sister?" Tian asked bluntly."Yes, I do," Willy replied honestly, without hesitation. He looked Tian straight in the eyes, not flinching. Tian nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Willy's directness."Alright then, just remember this. If you ever hurt my sister, I swear I’ll go broke making your life miserable," Tian warned.Willy smiled wryly. *Big brother, I haven’t even officially started dating her, and you’re already giving me a hard time? Isn’t that a bit premature?* he thought.As Willy left, Tian’s mind drifted to memories of his sister following Roman Chopin around like a little puppy when they were younger.On the way home, Willy was lost in thought, recalling Tian's warning about Roman.<

"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
464: The First Experience at Kindergarten
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
463: Does He Still Need to Learn?
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
462: Once the Money Is in Place, Everything Is Negotiable
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!

461: A Familiar Feeling
"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,

"Damn! You're really my big brother! Yes, it's this Sunday, and it's at the same place where Rose and Pigeon are getting married! You coming?""Of course! I’ll go back and arrange your positions. 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
459: Sea Monster Attack
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
457: This Metaphor is a Little Disgusting!
"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
