"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!

    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

    At that moment, Willy was on the phone with the underground reptilian Eskar.Originally, Willy thought the call was just another prank, so he ignored it without a second thought. But when the same number called for the fourth time, Willy started to wonder if he had forgotten something important."Hello, this is Willy," he answered politely."Oh my God! Willy, you finally picked up! I thought the phone you set up in the Antarctic was broken!" Willy could feel the panic in Eskar's voice, almost as if he was about to cry."Eskar! Haha, sorry, I was in a meeting. I've actually been meaning to contact you guys, I guess the fertilizer should be running low by now, right?""Yes, Willy! Could you send us some more? We have eight tribes here, and each one has grown a lot of special crops. Some of them have been sent to the surface, and there doesn’t seem to be any issue with them. I thought maybe you’d want to try them. I could send some back wi

    "Oh, old buddy, with current human technology, it’s just not possible. The asteroid is moving too fast. Our scientists have suggested the idea, but the data shows that it can't be done. A small spacecraft would be shattered if it tried to approach the asteroid directly. If it tries to follow from behind, it just can’t catch up. So, this plan won’t work.""Are you saying that if we could create a spacecraft that matches the asteroid's speed, then we could get close enough to plant explosives and destroy it?" someone asked."That’s one way to put it, but can we actually build something like that?" the representative from Russia asked."Wait a minute! NVMD! Your spacecraft! The one you sent over a while ago to scare us, the one that looks like a flying saucer!""Yes! I saw the video. It just flew right over, moving so fast that even our tracking missiles couldn't intercept it! How fast is your spacecraft?"<

These are my employees, Ethan and Peyton.""Hello!""Nice to meet you!""Willy, what’s going on here?" Peyton whispered, pulling Willy aside."Let me explain quickly. Peyton, Ethan, this is Mike, the head of DC.L, the world’s largest private hospital. A while back, when Violet was giving birth, I acquired full ownership of their global network of hospitals, but I still haven’t handled everything. Now that I have some time, I want to set things up. I need the two of you to establish the headquarters here in New York and bring the hospital operations here, while also opening multiple DC.L branches in NVMD’s other regions.

You scared the little young master!""I didn’t mean to! I’m just a little worried about my sister!" Tian quickly explained. Behind him, Paisley, Owen, Penelope, Caleb, Abigail, and the others had all arrived.The group washed their hands and sanitized before entering Violet's maternity room."Oh my gosh! This baby looks just like Willy when he was little!" Penelope suddenly exclaimed."Babe, calm down, today is the day our grandson is born. Don’t start making wild comparisons!""Can I hold him? Let me hold my big baby! Aww, he’s so cute!""Cute?" Willy and Violet both responded in unison, then added together, "Cute, cute!

Willy was now pacing back and forth in the hallway like a headless chicken."Eleanor, I already informed the hospital that I’ll be in the delivery room. Why is there no news yet?""Sir, don’t worry. Just wait a little longer."Willy wasn't worried; he was scared. He was terrified something might

In a few days, she'll be fine," Penelope reassured him."Dad, Mom, I’m really fine now. Please don’t worry! And I’m in New York now, so I can be with you every week from now on! It feels so good!""But we’re still worried about you," Caleb replied, his voice full of concern. "I remember when I first saw that video, I almost had a heart attack. That’s my daughter!

    During lunch, Abigail and her three friends toured the university and heard all kinds of rumors about themselves and Willy."Oh my god! This is ridiculous! That’s my real brother, and people are making up all these lies. I don’t know who started this nonsense!" Abigail complained."Abigail, I can totally feel you now. It's true—you're not in the spotlight, but the rumors sure are. Look at our brother, he’s barely at school, and yet he’s the center of all these stories!""Forget it, don’t worry about it.

He told them that tomorrow, Friday, he would send a driver to pick up Abigail for dinner, so the family could have a meal together and catch up."Good, son, we feel reassured knowing you're handling things. Your sister called us earlier, but your mom and I are still worried. A girl going through something like this could have lasting emotional effects.""Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I’m also concerned, which is why I brought Abigail to New York. You two should visit her often, comfort her a bit.
