"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. 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

    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

    "Yes, understood, boss!" Everyone in the room responded in unison."Mr. Morgan, as mentioned earlier, we still have a 13 billion shortfall. How would you like to proceed?""Oh, right. 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

    Willy sent a WhatsApp message to Ava, first instructing his staff to hold off for a moment, then asking how much was left of the 300 billion yuan he had allocated to the acquisition.“Boss, we still have 190 billion yuan left! But since we’ve already acquired a portion, the remaining shares from Morgan Stanley will be transferred to us once the agreement is signed.”“Hmph! Good thing I was cautious and shaved off that extra 50 billion. Otherwise, we’d have been robbed blind!”“You’re brilliant, boss!”“Hold tight for a bit. I’m betting she’ll call back.”“Haha, no doubt. Right now, the entire global investment market is selling off loss-making assets and shrinking portfolios. This is the time to accumulate gold! In an economic crisis, gold is the safest bet!”Half an hour later, McGee, having calculated the price, barely contained her frus

    At W&L Tower in Washington, Brooks was anxiously watching the stock market as the share prices of his family's companies continued to plummet. The worsening economic crisis had him on edge, but he was too afraid to contact Morgan Stanley, the financial backer of The Morgan Family. The global situation was dire, and Morgan Stanley held controlling stakes in nearly 100 top-tier companies worldwide. A poorly handled conversation with them could spell disaster.By 9 p.m., Brooks was still working late at the office, reviewing the reports coming in from subsidiaries around the world. The financial situation was grim. The performance of MF&T Services, MF&T Networks, and MF&T Data was practically at zero. Meanwhile, the maintenance costs and operational expenses for their online infrastructure were astronomical.Without transactions, there were no processing fees, which meant no profits. Worse, the family’s water resources division, a joint venture

    “Uh…” Brooks froze at the sound of the man's voice on the other end of the line.“Speak up! You’ve called me multiple times, and now you’re just gonna stay quiet?!”“S-sorry, sorry! Are you Mr. Morgan from Willy Investments?”“Yes, that’s me! Who the hell are you?”“I’m Brooks from Washington’s The Morgan Family. You’ve acquired three of our top global companies, so I wanted to get in touch and see when it might be convenient for me to come to New York and meet with you. You know, to chat. Yeah, to chat.”“Chat about what?! You’re interrupting something important right now! I’m in Washington as we speak! Why didn’t you call during the day? Do you have any idea what I was just doing? I’ll see you at your office tomorrow! Goodnight!” Willy hung up, furious.That idiot really knew how to pick t

    "Got it, Big Shot. I’m on my way to work. I'll turn the corner and head to your place, just give me a minute! It's almost noon, are you treating me to lunch?" Willy asked, casually."Little fox! You want me to treat you to lunch? It's just box lunches, nothing fancy!" Big Shot teased."Whatever! I wasn’t even hungry at home, just ate a little something. But now that I'm out, I’m starting to get hungry! Alright, Big Shot, no more talking, I’ll see you soon!"When Maverick overheard Willy’s phone conversation, without needing any more explanation, he directly turned toward the big compound.After going through seven or eight security checks, Willy followed Crescent Moon and Josiah through the iron gates of the compound."Willy, have you heard?

    Before finishing work, Willy closed his eyes and carefully searched in his system space for information about the fruits Eskar had given him. He wanted to know their species and whether they were toxic."Ding! Host, please rest assured. These fruits are non-toxic. In fact, some of these fruits can help women maintain their youth and prevent aging. For men, they can enhance strength... you know what I mean, right?""Seriously? I understand, but you’re talking about health benefits, right?" Willy responded skeptically."No, no, host. The fruits of the reptilians are different from those on the surface. The minerals, vitamins, and even trace amounts of micronutrients in these fruits far exceed the quantities found in surface fruits. So yes, what I said is true!""Whoa! System, help me pick out the ones that help maintain youth and the ones that enhance strength!""Host, the purple ones are for youth preservation, and the red ones are the ones yo

    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!

Hurry up and get dressed, stop dawdling! Tian! Tian!!!""I'm coming, I'm coming, Mom! I heard you, and I’m putting on my clothes!" Tian replied, quickly getting dressed.Owen saw that both Babe and his son were ready and immediately threw on some pants, grabbed a jacket, and rushed out the door.After Willy finished calling his parents, Eleanor had completed all the paperwork and handed it to him. 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!
