2024-08-29 20:23:13"The system is truly out of this world! With a photographic memory, learning new things will be a breeze! System, I'm ready to activate the Prediction button!"
Willy Morgan was even more excited about the Prediction function than the Blessing one. The reason was simple—Predictions could bring the most direct financial benefits!
"System initializing the Prediction button. Please wait... Prediction is about to refresh."
"Ding! The system predicts that on April 4, 2034, the old residential areas of Tianwen Community on Cultural Road, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets in the Los Angeles Education District will undergo demolition! Host, seize this opportunity!"
As soon as Willy heard the prediction, he quickly noted down the details on his phone and looked up the area on G****e Maps. He discovered that the community was a large, nearly 40-year-old area that had long been deserted.
Willy didn’t know much about real estate and land acquisitions, but he knew someone who did—his employees. He remembered that his company, Orion Universal Group, was involved in property development projects.
He checked the time; it was 3:45 PM, still within business hours. Scrolling through his recent calls, Willy quickly found Heather Collins' number and dialed.
The call was picked up within three rings.
“Hello, this is Joyce, Ms. Collins' assistant. Ms. Collins is currently in a meeting. May I ask who’s calling and what it’s regarding?”
Willy realized that Heather Collins had apparently forgotten to save his number.
“This is Willy Morgan. I need to speak with Heather Collins urgently.”
“Ah! Mr. Morgan! Of course, please hold on; I’ll get Ms. Collins right away!”
Joyce, realizing the importance of the call, sprinted from Heather Collins’ office to the conference room, despite the high heels she was wearing. In less than ten seconds, she burst into the room.
“Bang!” The door flew open, startling everyone inside, including Heather Collins, who had just announced the company's acquisition by a very wealthy new owner.
Joyce hurried to Heather Collins and whispered, “Ms. Collins, the boss is on the phone. It sounds urgent!”
Hearing that it was Willy Morgan, Heather quickly gestured for everyone to quiet down and pointed to the phone before stepping out of the conference room.
“Hello, Mr. Morgan. This is Heather Collins.”
“Hi, Heather. I have an urgent matter that I need your help with.”
“Of course, Mr. Morgan. What do you need?” Heather was curious—what could this young, seemingly inexperienced new boss need so urgently?
“Our company’s real estate business—what type of projects do we typically handle?”
“Mr. Morgan, Orion Universal Group typically acquires land and then resells it to real estate companies. While the profits aren’t as high as those of the developers, they are still substantial.”
“Here’s the situation, Heather. I’ve identified an old residential area in the education district, specifically the Tianwen Community on 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets along Cultural Road. I want to—”
“What?! Mr. Morgan, that area is a dead zone! It’s been neglected for decades, and the government has no plans to develop it. Our company looked into it before, but after extensive research, we found that it’s in a no-man’s land. Mr. Morgan, you’re still young—I’d advise against this kind of investment.”
“Heather, don’t be so quick to dismiss my idea. If the company doesn’t want to pursue it, here’s what we’ll do: I’ll personally provide the funds, and you can have your team acquire the old houses there, with all the titles transferred to my name. If redevelopment happens in the future, I’ll give the company 10% of the profits. How does that sound?”
Heather was momentarily speechless. Her boss was offering his own money to buy property and even promised to share the profits if the venture succeeded. She’d have to be crazy not to agree.
“If that’s the case, Mr. Morgan, and you’re sure about this, then we’ll proceed as you wish. How much do you plan to invest in acquiring that old area?”
“What are the current property prices there? What did Orion Universal Group’s previous research uncover?”
“Mr. Morgan, the second-hand property prices there are around $900 per square meter. The area consists of 117 buildings, all with six floors each, housing about 6,318 units. The buildings are so old they’re practically falling apart, and most are over 100 to 200 square meters in size. They’re not worth much and have little investment potential. Developers have considered redeveloping the area, but there seems to be something underground that prevents high-rise construction. The area is nearly abandoned, with most properties listed for sale. There are no purchasing restrictions, so if you’re willing to buy, you could acquire the entire area. But Mr. Morgan, I must strongly advise against this investment—it’s a money pit!”
“I understand. Let me do some calculations.” Willy quickly ran the numbers in his head. He had $835 million from the lottery, minus $140 million spent on his new home, leaving him with $695 million. That would just about cover the cost of buying up the entire area.
“Heather, here’s what I want you to do: I’ll personally invest $690 million, which I’ll transfer to the company’s account. You and your team need to acquire every property in that area by April 1st. I mean every single one. No objections, no questions! If the funds aren’t sufficient, let me know.”
“But Mr. Morgan—”
“This is my decision!” Willy firmly stated before transferring the $690 million to the account Heather had provided.
“Heather, if this project is completed successfully, I’ll personally give a $20,000 bonus to each person who helps with the acquisition at the end of next month.”
“Alright, Mr. Morgan. If that’s your decision, we’ll do our best to make it happen.”
“I’ll visit on Monday to drop off my identification documents. Focus on getting this done in the meantime.”
After hanging up, Heather Collins was left in a daze. Her new boss seemed to have money to burn. Nearly $700 million was no small sum, yet he didn’t seem to bat an eye at spending it.
Returning to the conference room, Heather cleared her throat and announced, “The new boss has just issued a directive. He’s personally investing $690 million and wants us to purchase every property in the Tianwen Community on 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets along Cultural Road by April 1st, with all titles registered under his name. If we succeed, everyone will receive an additional $20,000 bonus in their April paycheck.”
“What?! That area is a dead zone! What is this boss thinking?”
“Well, if he’s willing to spend his own money and we’re just doing our jobs, we might as well work hard for that $20,000 bonus!”
Heather Collins listened to the murmurs of disbelief and skepticism from her colleagues. There wasn’t much she could do to change their minds. After all, even she had doubts about Willy Morgan’s judgment.

Over the weekend, Willy Morgan drove back to his old, run-down apartment, packed his belongings, and officially moved out. Standing in his now-empty room, Willy felt a wave of nostalgia. This place held so many memories—from moving out of the orphanage to working through his college years. Despite its shabby state, it had been home. Unable to completely let go, Willy spent $100,000 to buy the small unit so he could return and reminisce whenever he wanted.On Monday at noon, before Willy had a chance to visit Orion Universal Group, he received a call from Heather Collins."Mr. Morgan, our team went to Tianwen Community as planned. The residents were surprisingly eager to sell. All 117 building owners have agreed to sell, and they were so concerned we might not have enough funds that they offered to drop the price by another $50 per square meter. The final total comes to around $650 million, and we’ve arranged for a joint property certificate. The certificate lists your name and include

"Close your eyes, focus deeply on your thoughts, and then visualize the current stock market trends in your mind. You'll see the stocks that will hit the limit-up tomorrow!" the system instructed.Willy Morgan followed the instructions, and sure enough, six stock codes appeared in his mind. He quickly noted them down on his phone, planning to compare them the next day.After chatting with the system for a while, Willy drove home. It was already late, and the stock market had closed, so he decided to visit the securities company the next day to open an account.Early the next morning, Willy went to the largest securities company in the country, opened an account, and deposited all the remaining money from his lottery winnings into it. He checked the six stocks he had predicted the day before, and to his delight, three of them had hit their limit-up at the opening, while the other three were steadily rising. This greatly boosted Willy's confidence in the system.However, since the predi

Willy Morgan looked at the group of people before him. Each of them exuded a vigorous energy. The leader, Eleanor Rodriguez, was a woman in her forties, dressed in a sharp professional outfit with a neatly tied ponytail. Her subtle makeup complemented her face, striking a balance between professionalism and youthful appearance. The three men with her, clearly bodyguards, had muscular physiques that strained against their jackets. There was a burly man with a large head and thick neck, obviously the chef, and another man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a box that hinted at his role as a private doctor. Beside Eleanor, there was a demure young woman, presumably the personal assistant, and a middle-aged man with a square face who looked like the chauffeur.“Mr. Morgan, as you can see, we have three personal bodyguards, this is the chef, this is the private doctor, and this is the driver. This lady is the personal assistant, and I am the housekeeper. Our annual salary is 2 mi

Zoe made an English breakfast today. You should try it!” Eleanor Rodriguez said as she brought the dishes over.“Have you all eaten?” Willy Morgan glanced at the time; it was almost 9 o’clock. The stock market would open in half an hour.“We’ve already eaten. Each of us has a fixed early wake-up time and duty schedule. Do you have any plans for today?”“Not really. By the way, Eleanor, I have a buddy working as a sales representative at a Mercedes dealership. If you’re going to buy cars today, go through him. It’ll help him hit his sales targets!”“Got it, Master Morgan.”“Here’s his number. I’ll send him a WhatsApp message to let him know you’re co

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.

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

After you suggested that my grandfather's illness might have been man-made, the doctor seemed to go crazy. That’s when I suspected something was wrong and had him taken away and interrogated. It turns out that the four major families have enough wealth and power to control everything. These people can’t directly affect our economy, so they resorted to other methods to harm us. My grandfather was one victim, and Betty’s mother was another. She was poisoned during a vacation and aged rapidly overnight. After that, she disappeared from public view.

Each shot caused an explosion upon impact, and she was blasted to pieces by the force.Willy stood in shock, bewildered by what had just happened. He had been battling the fiery sword, and somehow, in the midst of it all, he had accidentally killed Duresha."Hehehe, young one, the fates have their way," a deep, ancient voice echoed through the universe, sending a chill down Willy's spine.
