“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

I never fulfilled my duties, and you suffered because of it. My poor child! How you must have struggled all these years!"

    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

Tyler Foster tried to console Patrick Murphy."Yeah, I even introduced her to my parents, and they liked her well enough! But today, she just lost it for no reason. I told her I was going to my college reunion, but she didn’t believe me!" Patrick explained, frustrated."Haha, well, I think this might be on you," Willy chimed in."What do you mean, Willy?" Patrick asked, confused."You told your girlfriend you’re going to a reunion, but you didn’t invite her. What, are you embarrassed to be seen with her?" Willy teased."Uh… no, that’s not what I meant at all!" Patrick protested."Then invite her! Call her up right now and tell her you’ve reconsidered. Ask if she’s free to come with you to the reunion. Give it a shot," Willy suggested."Do you think that’ll wo

    Willy had just returned to the private room and barely sat down when a man, accompanied by several waiters, entered the room. The man looked somewhat familiar to Willy, and he quickly recognized him as the person who had been following him earlier."I've finally found you, young man!" The man exclaimed, walking directly toward Willy before signaling to the waiters to start serving more dishes and drinks."Do you remember me?" the man asked."I don't... Who are you?" Willy replied, unsure."Four months ago! At the Global Mall! You saved someone who suddenly had a heart attack—that was me! I can’t believe you're dining in my hotel tonight! Everything for these two rooms is on the house!" the man exclaimed gratefully."Oh! Now I remember!" Willy said, finally recalling the incident."Yes, it’s such a coincidence to meet you here!" the man smiled."May I offer you a toast?" the man asked."Of course," Willy nodded

    "You're so annoying! I asked how the reunion went—was it fun or not?" Violet complained, leaning against Willy as they walked."It was alright, I guess. I ran into my ex from college, and seeing her now... honestly, it made me want to gouge my eyes out and stomp on them! I have no idea what I was thinking back then, dating someone like that!" Willy replied, shaking his head."Your first love, huh?" Violet asked, her voice tinged with jealousy, though Willy seemed oblivious."Yeah, but she never actually liked me. She just used me. During college..." Willy began to recount his experience with his ex-girlfriend, explaining how she took advantage of him. As Violet listened, her anger grew, and she gently touched his stubbled chin, feeling sorry for him."That awful woman! How dare she treat you like that! If I ever meet her, I'll give her a good beating!" Violet exclaimed, fuming.Willy chuckled. "Wow, Violet's turning into quite the fighter now

    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? How about we make a big bet?"

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.

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 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

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!

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’
