"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

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

"Breaking up? That can’t be right! You two have been together for three or four months, and everything seemed fine, right?" 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.

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

Outside the Diamond Business Tower in New York, Willy stood by his office window, lightly tapping the glass with his phone, lost in thought. The faint "tap tap" echoed through the room, as his mood grew heavier. He didn’t really care about what happened to the Morgan Family in Washington 23 years ago. What mattered to him was that his parents had been searching for him for all those years. He still remembered the pictures on Caleb’s phone—his mother holding signs asking for any information on her lost son, his father pulling strings and asking people for help..."Washington," Willy muttered under his breath, his expression hardening.At the New York airport, Willy was taken aback when he saw Violet standing in front of him, looking stunning in a professional business outfit, dragging her suitcase behind her."Violet, wow... That outfit is making it really hard for me to focus. You look so sexy!" Willy teased."Stop it! My mom is right be

I’ll transfer the funds to Mia. She’ll handle the necessary tasks. Your focus should be on making tangible progress in your operations. I trust that after all your years in Washington, you’ll be able to get the job done.""Thank you, boss, for your trust!" Grayson replied, grateful but anxious."Alright, the meeting’s adjourned!" Willy declared, and everyone began to gather their things, though they all remained seated, waiting for Willy to leave first.Willy noticed their hesitation, smiled, and took Violet’s hand as they left the room.As soon as they stepped out, Violet’s eyes sparkled with admiration. "Willy, you were so cool in there! I thought you’d be all diplomatic, but you totally took charge! That was awesome!

"Boss, most of The Morgan Family’s companies are listed on the stock exchange here in the States, so we’ve been working at night to handle the acquisitions. Today, we investigated The Morgan Family’s three largest companies: MF&T Services, MF&T Networks, and MF&T Data. While their stock prices are low, they cover a large market. We’ve already acquired 10% of their shares, but soon after, we got a call from Morgan Stanley’s headquarters, asking if we were interested in purchasing all of their managed shares in The Morgan Family. We said yes, and they quoted a price of 80 billion USD. I told them I’d check with the boss first. How would you like to proceed?" Ava explained.“Damn, Morgan Stanley? That’s one of the top global investment firms. So, they’re the ones backing The Morgan Family?”“Yes, boss. But they’re abandoning The Morgan Family now because the family has been hemorrhaging mo

The next three rounds of the competition were pretty lackluster. Willy sat in the audience, snacking on some fruit, while his mind wandered, communicating with the system."System, what do you think I'll get for clocking in here?" Willy asked, still curious.The system responded, "Host, the rewards you get from checking in are closely related to the location. You should have figured this out from your last check-in. You can try it out again!""Alright! I’ll clock in now!" Willy closed his eyes slowly and pressed the check-in button on the system's interface."Beep! Congratulations, host!

"You! You’re talking nonsense! You two are working together! I’m going to condemn both of you! Don’t listen to their slander!" The leader of A Country quickly tried to defend himself."Willy, there’s no solid proof for these claims, so let’s focus on the competition for now! Besides, your company already has a special medicine for this skin infection, which is what's important for everyone here.""Yes, boss!" Willy understood his leader’s meaning perfectly. Right now, the most important thing was making money! As for other matters, without evidence, words alone would mean nothing. Even if Willy openly shared his conversation with Shawn, the leader of A Country would come up with a hundred excuses to deny it. Rather than getting bogged down in this, Willy preferred to leave the suspicions in the air and finish the competition."I surrender! I can’t beat you!"

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.

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.

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.

“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!
