After returning the books, Willy Morgan spotted Asher and Carter outside the library.
“You two are here to read as well?” Willy Morgan asked as he approached them.
“Master Morgan, we’re here to provide security for you.”
“What?! You’ve been with me since the morning? You’ve been nearby the whole time?”
“Yes, Master Morgan!”
“Have you had lunch yet? I’m sure you haven’t. Let’s go out for a meal!”
“Master Morgan, Zoe prepared a French meal at home for you!”
“Oh right, I have a chef now!”
“Master Morgan, let me drive you home. Carter can take a cab.”
“...Alright then!”
Willy Morgan was still adjusting to having a full-time staff, understanding that after living alone for 22 years, it would take some time to get used to the sudden addition of so many people.
In the car,
Willy Morgan calculated that he had less than 10 million left in his pocket. Of course, if there were any demolition or system upgrades, the amount could vary significantly!“Eleanor, can I get back to you later? I’m not sure if anything might come up in the next few days.”“Of course, Master Morgan. Just let me know before the 8th.”Meanwhile, Heather Collins also received an invitation to the auction.“Ms. Collins, the wealthy individuals in Los Angeles are all attending this auction, and we’ve been allocated two spots by Orion Universal Group. What do you think?” Joyce asked.“Hmm, you should accompany me. Let’s catch up with some old friends while we’re at it. I’ve been feeling a bit worn out lately.”“What about Mr. Morgan?”“Why should we worry about him? He’ll just meet new people. Don’t worry about him.”&ld
“Since Mr. Martinez has invited me, I’ll definitely make a grand purchase that day!” Willy Morgan said with a grin.“Mr. Morgan, that’s the spirit! See you then!” Joyce responded enthusiastically.“See you next week!” Willy Morgan said as he exited the transaction hall, smiling all the way to the Bentley.“Master Morgan, you’re truly impressive!” Paisley complimented from the side.“Haha, it’s nothing much! Maverick, let’s head to Hua Wan Shopping Center. I want to buy a watch and change things up a bit!”“Yes, Master Morgan!”That afternoon, a news report shook all of Los Angeles.Heather Collins stared at the news in shock: “Los Angeles’ largest dilapidated area being redeveloped! Astronomical Community’s 6,300 units are being demolished!”“Ms. Collins!!!!!! This news! The demolished area is the one Mr. Morgan bought! Mr. Morgan is incredible!”“Yes... It’s truly impressive!” Heather Collins realized she had underestimated Willy Morgan. She recalled his comment on the day of the purc
Back home, everyone was busy with their own tasks. Willy Morgan lay in his room, using his phone to check on the shipwreck incident involving Orion Universal Group’s foreign trade products. There were no updates online, as domestic news hadn't reported it yet, so he had to use a VPN to access international reports.After some searching, he found that the imported cosmetics, food, electronics, and luxury goods purchased by Orion Universal Group had all sunk in the Indian Ocean due to a hurricane. It seemed there were even casualties involved.Willy Morgan turned off his phone and pondered the situation. If Heather Collins couldn’t handle it, she would likely reach out to him. However, if she hadn’t contacted him yet, it might mean she’s either resolved the issue herself or doesn’t consider him her boss. If it’s the latter, Willy wouldn’t hesitate to act; after all, he hadn’t contributed much to Orion Universal Group and had never visited. He could sell his shares given by the system, wh
Willy Morgan had expected the blessing to be like the last one, where his skills were significantly enhanced in a particular area, such as his memory from before. This time, however, the blessing turned out to be perfect health. At first glance, it seemed insignificant, but in reality, it was the best blessing for Willy Morgan! “Thank you so much, System! I’ll use the last lottery draw now!” “Ding! Please enter the lottery mode!” Willy Morgan closed his eyes, and three golden-red gift boxes appeared in front of him, spinning quickly in a circle. At the moment he was about to get dizzy from the spinning, Willy Morgan grabbed one of the boxes randomly. “This one! I’m about to throw up from the spinning!” “Ding! Please click on the gift box to draw!” Willy Morgan followed the instructions. “Ding! The host has won a top luxury residence near Fifth Avenue in New York’s Upper East Side, worth 1 billion dollars! Please check for the keys and documentation!” The system’s announcement
“Yes, Mr. Martinez! We bodyguards wear flexible clothes! You’ve outfitted us in suits, but we don’t know when we’ll wear them!” “Save them for future occasions! I might attend various events, and you all need to look impressive and classy when you accompany me!” Willy Morgan noticed that the system hadn't said anything against this. Instead, the experience points under the control panel level button had risen to over 10 million! After a busy day, Willy Morgan, dressed in the custom suit from the morning, looked striking. He exuded a commanding yet elegant aura, refined and understated, making Paisley and Eleanor Rodriguez slightly dazed by his appearance. “How do I look? I don’t seem too old-fashioned, do I?” “Mr. Martinez, you look so handsome! You outshine all the stars on TV!” “Alright, Paisley, don’t be so exaggerated. I’m just an ordinary person! Let’s go!” Maverick drove them slowly to the Grand City Hotel. Upon arriving, Willy Morgan stood in the center, with Eleanor Rodr
As Willy Morgan and his party entered, they made their way to the front row according to the invitation. The people already seated in the first and second rows turned their heads in curiosity. It seemed that the man in the middle was the boss, and the others were his assistants. How did they end up in the front row?“Mr. Morgan!!!!!! It’s really you!” Victoria Bell, who was chatting with Mr. Pang, suddenly spotted Willy Morgan arriving in the front row.Willy Morgan turned towards the voice. “Victoria Bell, you’re here too! Oh, isn’t that Ms. Collins! I didn’t expect Orion Universal Group to receive an invitation to the auction!”Willy Morgan’s words were carefully chosen. He indicated that his invitation wasn’t from Orion Universal Group and that he was unaware of Heather Collins bringing Joyce along. Others immediately understood what Heather Collins had done. “Mr. Morgan, I didn’t expect you to be here too!” Heather Collins forced a smile, feeling awkward.“That must be your secr
After finishing his statement, Willy Morgan suddenly felt how much he had changed over the past few days. It seemed he had truly become someone formidable, but he hadn’t looked down on anyone and had always maintained his original intentions. That was enough.Heather Collins and Joyce went to the restroom, only to find that Willy Morgan had disappeared by the time they returned. Victoria Bell and others were avoiding them, and Heather Collins realized that if she didn’t find Willy Morgan soon, Orion Universal Group would be in serious trouble.“Ms. Collins, do you think Mr. Morgan knows about the company’s situation now?” “Joyce, whether Mr. Morgan knows or not depends on whether we inform him. We haven’t done our part properly.”“But Ms. Collins, Orion Universal Group is also Mr. Morgan’s company now! I can’t understand why it’s such a simple matter to address!”“Joyce, Mr. Morgan must be angry with me! This is all my fault!”“Ah, Ms. Collins, it’s not easy for you. You’ve been so wo
Soon, Willy Morgan looked at Heather Collins, who had arrived uninvited with the property manager, and felt quite irritated.“Ms. Collins, what brings you here?”“Mr. Morgan, I… I…” Heather Collins struggled to find the right words, glancing at the property manager.“Ah! Since the owner is someone you know, I’ll take my leave.”“Alright!”Willy Morgan turned and did not close the door. Heather Collins followed him inside.The interior was luxuriously decorated, spacious and bright, with a clean, modern style that suited a young person’s taste.“Ms. Collins, did you come all the way here to admire my home’s decor?” Willy Morgan’s words snapped Heather Collins back to reality.“Mr. Morgan, the situation at the company is critical! I’m unable to handle it alone, so I came to ask for your help.”Willy Morgan, upon hearing Heather Collins’ plea, did not immediately respond. Instead, he walked to the coffee machine, poured himself a cup of coffee, and stirred it slowly with a spoon.“Mr. Mo
“Alright, then thank you!” Willy said."Stop playing coy, Willy. Just wait for my update. By the way, the chips are enough now, you can continue supplying The Robinson Family and The Brown Family. I’ve come to realize that these so-called big families—anyone on your good side rises, and those on your bad side get crushed," the caller said with a knowing tone."Boss, you can’t put it like that. I’ve always been honest. If they don’t bully me, I won’t fight back! Just look at all these big families, which one didn’t start by bullying me before I took them down?" Willy responded with a laugh."Willy, how you handle them is your business, but I hope you don’t destroy the economic balance. Things are already tough, and if all these rich businessmen go bankrupt, a lot of people will lose their jobs. That’s not good for me. If you understand what I mean, you’ll know what to do. No favoritism—
The day after the wedding, Willy took Violet and his parents to visit the newly purchased property at 77 Central Park West. As they stood in front of the building, Caleb and Penelope looked up at the towering structure, stealing glances at Violet."Son, is this the house you bought for us?" Caleb asked."Yeah, Dad, take a look and see which one you prefer—this place or the top-tier mansion we're living in now. Violet, which one do you like better?" Willy asked, turning to his wife."You guys decide. It doesn’t matter to me," Violet replied casually. She didn’t mind either option; both the luxury mansion they lived in now and the new place at 77 Central Park West were great.Caleb thought for a moment. "Son, I think I prefer our current place. This 12th-floor apartment makes me worry about power outages, and it’s too big. What if burglars get in? Your mother and I would be scared!""You don’t worry about the secur
As Violet stepped off the flying vehicle, every step she took was met with bursts of ribbons and fireworks. The sounds of cheers and blessings surrounded her, and Violet couldn’t help but feel like the happiest woman in the world.Finally, they reached the grand hall.The couple stood by the stage, waiting. By now, all their friends and family had taken their seats. Willy glanced around."Wow, what a huge hall!" he thought. The venue could easily accommodate over a hundred tables, and it was almost full! The crowd was enormous, and Willy realized he didn’t know most of them. Who were these people?At 11:28 AM, the ceremony officially began!Under the host's guidance, Willy completed the various segments of the ceremony. The host announced the couple would change outfits, and the kitchen staff began serving the food. Meanwhile, the stage stayed lively with Logan’s arranged celebrity performances, which caught everyone’s atten
"Cheap? Willy, let me explain. Each floor is 424 square meters, with a total of 12 floors. We’ve calculated the price based on a unit cost of 116,000 per square meter! The building next door is a bit cheaper. This is the pricing method for high-rise buildings, which is different from residential and commercial office buildings! And it’s a far cry from your top-tier global mansion! Your place is priced based on land value, while mine is based on the high-rise!""Oh, I see! Deal. Can we finalize the paperwork now? My people will move in tonight, is that okay?""Of course, no problem."After securing the properties, Willy briefly discussed an environmental collaboration project with The Robinson Family before heading back to his office.By t
77 Central Park West wasn’t far from Willy’s Morgen estate—less than a 20-minute walk and just a few minutes by car.The complex of 77 Central Park West consisted of four rows of buildings, three in each row, each 12 stories high. The architectural designs of the buildings were unique, and the landscaping around the area was excellent. After entering through the main gate, tall oak trees lined both sides, with various-shaped lawns, windmills, and a variety of flowers planted throughout. The distance between the 12 buildings was vast, and nestled in the middle was a three-story building that served as the residents' clubhouse, featuring a gym, yoga room, swimming pool, and various sports courts.Willy waited a few minutes before meeting up with Sebastian Robinson."Willy, your estate is so i
"Ding! Has the host collapsed?""A little. There are too many reports. System, do you think it's because I usually slack off that all these reports piled up?""Not really. The main reason is that the host's previous goal was to upgrade the system, which is why there are all these tasks. But the system has an idea for you!""Hmm, I know you're going to remind me that I can use my speed-reading and photographic memory abilities to solve this, right?""Not at all!""Then what is it?""Host! Have you forgotten that after the system upgrade, there's a Wish Button now?""No way! Can I just wish that I've finished reading all these reports and found no issues?""Nega
"Willy, when is Violet's due date?""Mom, Violet's due date is at the end of April next year!""Did you hear that?! Your daughter-in-law's due date is at the end of April next year! You want Violet to have the baby early, just like I did, huh? And now you're saying 'like a jujube tree bearing sweet fruit'! When are you getting things together?"Penelope was shocked by Willy's lack of awareness—her dear son seemed to have forgotten the most obvious things!"Ah! I didn't realize Violet was already pregnant!""You're going to be a grandfather! You need to be more sharp! What if you end up losing the kid when it's your turn to babysit?""Yes, yes! I'll get everything cleared up right away!""Dad! Don't do anything tonight! I'm going to sleep in your room. Tomorrow, you can h
"Willy, you’re fast at this!""Well, I have to be! I’m getting married soon, so I need to wrap up all these little details before the big day! How did you get the news so quickly?""Of course! After the Yellowstone eruption, everyone’s eyes turned to J Country’s Mount Ardent, along with volcanoes in Indonesia, Chile, and Australia. What they’re really worried about are the chain reactions that could lead to global eruptions and, potentially, a mini ice age!""Don’t worry, it won’t happen! My environmental company’s air filtration project—you’ve seen its effects. You can tell how much better New York’s air quality is now compared to places like North Korea. According to my team, the nationwide air projects will be completed within two months, before the year ends!""
