"We’ve acquired 47% of XH Construction, 49% of XH Agriculture, and 44% of XH Livestock," Ava reported.
"Continue tomorrow."
"Boss, since we haven't fully completed the acquisitions yet, the shares are still scattered across different company accounts. Once we finish tomorrow, we'll consolidate everything and transfer them to your name."
"That works. I’ll be expecting good news tomorrow," Willy replied, already devising a plan in his mind.
Willy knew that Washington’s Four Great Families had made their fortunes through online finance, investments, and e-commerce. With the ongoing economic crisis, their businesses were shrinking dramatically, with many losing their foundational financial resources. This was the perfect opportunity for Willy to break into Washington, and especially after The Chopin Family had the audacity to target Violet, his woman. Willy’s personality didn’t allow for slights, and he was determined to systematically dismantle
While Willy was eating dinner, his phone buzzed with a message from Brandon, who informed him that the family debts had been fully repaid and expressed his gratitude for Willy’s help. Brandon also asked when he should head to New York to assist Willy with his work."Brandon, take a few more days to care for your parents. We’ve got the class reunion next Sunday, so come after that.""Got it, Willy. I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for my family.""Don’t mention it. Just focus on taking care of your parents!""Yes, sir! Your loyal servant obeys! Hahaha!"As soon as Willy hung up, Tian’s call came in next."Hey, Tian!""Hahahaha, Willy! You have no idea! Guess who showed up at my house again today? That unlucky idiot Roman!""Isn’t he still in the hospital? Why was he at your place? Is his leg healed?""He came hobbling in on crutches! Barely made it through the front door before he tripped, landing right on
The next day, Willy woke up late. He didn’t know why, but lately, he had been feeling particularly sleepy, and it seemed like he had even grown a little taller. After admiring the upgraded system, he explored the new “System Space,” which was essentially a blank void where he could store items, and then rushed off to work.When he arrived at the office, Ava had already led the team to finalize the full acquisition of Washington’s Garcia Family assets."Boss, we’ve now acquired 57% of XH Construction, 54% of XH Agriculture, and 54% of XH Livestock. Should we continue?" Ava reported."How much of the funding is left?" Willy asked."After the acquisitions, we still have 76 billion left," Ava replied."Keep going then. Use the remaining funds. But I’m curious—why are these stocks still dropping?" Willy wondered, puzzled. His team had poured over 200 billion into the acquisitions, yet the stock prices continued to decline."Boss, it’s because of
“Willy! My mother’s family business has been acquired by someone. The Garcia Family is no longer one of Washington's four major families!” Violet said while having lunch with Willy.“Yeah, I know,” Willy responded casually.“Ugh, life is unpredictable.”“Do you have any strong feelings about the Garcia Family?” Willy asked.“Feelings? Not really. When I was little, we’d visit Washington to see my grandparents, but my uncles and aunts were rarely home. After my grandparents passed, I hardly ever went back,” Violet explained.“I see. By the way, babe, I’ll be going to Washington on a business trip soon. Would you like to come with me?”“When are you going? You want me to come?” Violet asked, surprised.“Yeah, and if your mom wants to visit, we can bring her along.”“I’ll have to ask my mom about that.&rdqu
"At least it's in the hands of one of our own, better than falling into the hands of outsiders! I approve of what Willy did this time!" Owen said."Wow, Dad, siding with Willy for once!" Tian teased."Watch what you’re saying! That kid’s capabilities, finances, and power are beyond our imagination. He could surpass us, break through the barriers of the Four Great Families, and reach the peak of wealth! Just look at his chip company and his pharmaceutical firm—each of them has made revolutionary breakthroughs.""Ah, that foolish child," Paisley sighed, finally feeling at ease."Mom, Willy also asked if you'd like to go with us to Washington in a few days.""I... I'll think about it," Paisley replied, still grappling with her feelings.Initially, Paisley had mixed emotions, but hearing what Tian said and reflecting on Willy’s actions, she felt more admiration for him. She realized that Willy’s financial prowess wasn’t what moved her—it w
"Young Master, I’m here! What’s wrong?" Andrew rushed in after hearing Willy call for him."It’s not me, it’s her! This... lady! She fainted! Check on her, quickly!" Willy said, pointing to Penelope, who lay unconscious on the floor.Andrew immediately went to Penelope’s side, checked her pulse, and asked Caleb, "Does she have a heart condition? Did you bring her medication?"Caleb, already fumbling through his bag, handed Andrew a bottle of heart pills.Andrew quickly administered the medicine to Penelope and began performing CPR and other emergency procedures."Young Master, this woman’s condition is very serious. In addition to the heart issue, her overall health is extremely poor. She seems malnourished and likely suffers from anxiety," Andrew explained as he continued to treat her."Yes, she’s been through a lot over the years, searching for our son. Ever since we lost him, she’s been riddled with guilt, unable to sleep, and has develop
"Oh, what’s your relationship with Brooks?" Willy asked."Him? Ha! He’s my half-brother. What kind of relationship could we have?""Got it.""Willy... if you really are my son, could you forgive your mom and me for our negligence all these years?" Caleb’s voice quivered, and tears streamed down his face. The sorrow, regret, and heartache from searching endlessly for his lost son for so many years overwhelmed him. Now, his child might be right in front of him. Even if Willy didn’t acknowledge him, Caleb felt some peace knowing his son was alive and well.Willy had built a successful life for himself, launching several companies, and had become a well-known figure. But Caleb didn’t care about the fame or fortune. He only cared if this young man was indeed the son he and Penelope had searched for so desperately. Was he safe? Was he healthy?"Negligence? Ha." Willy didn’t answer directly. To him, this wasn’t just negligence; it felt like an orchestrate
"Penelope! Willy is our child! He really is!" Caleb exclaimed.Penelope stood there, stunned. Years of searching, longing, and hoping had finally come to this moment.After what felt like an eternity, Penelope suddenly erupted in tears and joy."My son! I’ve been searching for you for so long! Every night, I dreamed of you. My son!" she cried, her voice filled with emotion."Mom! Don’t cry, you’re still on an IV! Please, don’t cry!" Willy urged, overwhelmed by the flood of motherly love he was feeling for the first time."My son, do you hate me? I wasn’t a good mother. I lost you! I never fulfilled my duties, and you suffered because of it. My poor child! How you must have struggled all these years!" Penelope embraced Willy, holding him tightly, her voice shaking with pain, regret, and guilt. She had spent so many years crying, searching tirelessly, trying to find her lost son.Willy could feel her sorrow, the years of regret w
At the Brown Family home, Violet was rushing around, frantically packing her things, taking a shower, and doing her makeup. Both Tian and Paisley looked on with curiosity."Sis, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?" Tian asked, confused."Big Brother! I’m going to Willy’s house! He found his parents, and I’m going to meet them! Help me check this out, is this outfit appropriate? Does it look too plain?" Violet asked anxiously."What!? Willy found his parents?" Tian was shocked."Daughter! Did you say Willy found his biological parents?" Paisley asked, equally surprised."Yes! That’s what he told me. His parents found him, so I’m going over to meet them!" Violet replied, her excitement evident."Daughter, what are you wearing!? Take off that white outfit! You should wear something red—something celebratory! This is a joyous occasion! Your father, brother, and I will go with you!" Paisley declared."What? Mom, you, Dad, and
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.

“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.
"Yes, boss! I'll hang up now!"As soon as Willy ended the call, he realized that since he had decided to attend the upcoming Research Contribution Awards ceremony, he would need to prepare properly. He was determined to put on a show, making everyone believe his outlandish words."Darling, are you busy with work?" Violet asked, concerned."Not really, just some things to take care of at the end of the month. I’ll be away for a couple of days.""Where are you going?""To Australia. I’ll be going with my boss, and he’s bringing all the top mercenaries with him. Looks like it’ll be a lively trip!" Willy explained."Darling, it’s already the 20th. Shouldn’t we head back now?"Hearing Violet’s words, Willy immediately sat up and looked at her. "What’s wrong, baby? Are you upset about my business trip?""It’s not that. I just want to check on the company. I’ve been kee
"But darling, you're still amazing!" Violet said, clearly impressed."Alright, let's go! If you go through this dense forest, you’ll find my castle. This island is Wonder Island," Willy replied with a smile."Darling, carry me down! Heehee," Violet teased.Seeing Violet acting cute, Willy walked over to the other side of the flying vehicle, picked her up effortlessly, then grabbed their luggage with one hand while holding Violet’s hand with the other, pointing towards the distance. "Sweetheart, look over there!""Wow, it’s so beautiful!!" Violet couldn’t contain her excitement as she saw the luxurious castle in the distance and immediately rushed towards it.Willy casually stored the flying vehicle in his system space and sent a message to Elijah to let him know they had arrived, then quietly followed Violet."Darling, slow down! You’re pregnant! How can you run so fast?" Willy called out as he jogged after her.
