"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

"God, Dad! Do you even realize what you just said?!" Aubrey shouted.Her words snapped Brooks back to his senses."I… Daughter! What just happened? What did I say?""You old fool, you just confessed to everything you’ve done!" Willy smirked."I didn’t do anything! I don’t know what you’re talking about, you brat!""Really? You’re shameless beyond belief. You don’t remember? Let me remind you." Willy took out his phone and played the recording, just as he had done before."Why?! Why can’t I, Brooks, have a son? I only have two useless daughters! Even if I had someone kidnap you and throw you away, what difference does it make? It’s been 20 years. The statute of limitations has passed—you can’t do anything!" The audio echoed through the first floor of W&L Tower, Brooks' voice clearly damning himself."You bastard! You tricked me!""Tricked you? H

“Mr. Morgan, please take a seat! I’m Ko, in charge of MF&T Data. This is your seat!” Ko gestured for Willy to take the head seat in the conference room."Thank you. Please, everyone, sit. I’m here today for two reasons. First, I want to get a detailed understanding of the company’s current situation. Second, I plan to consolidate the business operations of the company’s various divisions. I know many of you have been with The Morgan Family for years, so you’ve likely heard Brooks’ outburst just now. Let me be clear—you don’t need to speculate about my identity. All you need to know is that I’m the head of Willy Investments, and I now hold the largest stake in The Morgan Family’s biggest companies.”"Understood, boss!""Good. Let’s talk. What’s the current state of the company?"Just as Willy finished speaking, Brooks, supported by Aubrey, entered th

“You’re all lying! You… ugh!” Brooks collapsed, fainting from the pressure. Aubrey, already in shock from learning her father had coerced and harassed others, stood frozen. While Brooks hadn’t treated her and Brooklyn well, he was still her father, and the situation unfolding before her left her utterly lost.“Oh, he’s passed out? Not a bad act. Paisley, get some water and splash it on his head. Then call the police!” Willy wasn’t sympathetic at all. He believed that Brooks should pay for the evil he had committed.“Yes, sir!” Paisley was quick to act. Instead of using the bottled water in the meeting room, she grabbed a ceramic cup and filled it with boiling water from the dispenser. She then doused Brooks with it without hesitation. Paisley harbored no mercy for someone like Brooks, especially given her past—almost being forced into marriage herself if not for her aunt’s fierce protection.“Ahhh! It’s burning!” Brooks screamed as he woke up, the hot water jolting him back to consciou

"Uncle, please sit down. No need to be so formal. Although this is our first meeting, you do resemble my father a little, so I recognized you right away.""Oh, oh, well! This is my daughter, Valentina!""Mr. Morgan, it's... it's a pleasure to meet you," Valentina said, visibly nervous."Don’t be so tense. How old are you?"Willy’s direct question about Valentina’s age caught both her and Mateo off guard."I’m 23. How about you?" Valentina, feeling awkward, answered."I’m 24.""Hmm, you're older than me, so I guess you’re like an older sister! Please, have a seat. You must have something you want to discuss with me?""Yes! Yes, Mr. Morgan! First, I wanted to see you. My brother and Penelope have spent years searching for your whereabouts, and they finally found you. I’m genuinely happy for him! Second, I want to ask you a favor. Please transfer Yaran out of Willy Network's sales department. I heard you’re going to set up a pharmaceutical factory in Washington, so if you could transfer h

After Willy left, Big Shot muttered under his breath, puffing out his cheeks in frustration, "That brat! Hmph!""Boss, please calm down. Don’t bother with him! By the way, what meeting did Willy mention earlier?" Crescent Moon reminded him."Oh right! I’ll get in touch now!" Big Shot responded, snapping back to attention.Meanwhile, Willy had asked Logan to send the development data and process to his inbox. Then, using Adrian’s computer, he printed everything out. He couldn't help but think, "Hmph, I won’t send you guys an electronic copy. I’ll print it out just to make it a little harder for you!"On the other side, Big Shot called for another online meeting, quickly gathering all the leaders to inform them that he had persuaded Willy to provide the patent for the spacecraft engine. He also arranged where the research would take place.At first, Big Shot had wanted to carry out the research in their own country, but

Willy could tell that, at this point, Big Shot had completely trusted him without reservation. This surprised Willy a little."I have a secret company under my wing that’s been training all sorts of talents. One of them, while linking a super astronomical telescope to a computer, scanned the asteroid and, through some reference calculations, confirmed that the asteroid is about 130 kilometers in size. A collision with Earth would cause a massive explosion. Within just a few seconds, all life on Earth would be wiped out—nothing would survive, not even the reptilians underground," Willy explained calmly."When did you learn about this?" Big Shot asked, his tone now serious."I found out during the time I went to K State to rescue my sister. It was then that I had my company’s tech staff begin developing weapons for this very scenario. The new weapons are already making progress, but they still need testing."Hearing Willy’s words, Bi

"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? Rose is getting married, did she tell you?" Crescent Moon asked, squinting her eyes."No, she didn’t mention anything. Speaking of which, when are you and Black Wolf g

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
345: This Situation Just Got Serious
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?"<

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.

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?

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.

Just wait a little longer."Willy wasn't worried; he was scared. He was terrified something might
