"Why are you still fighting over this? You're like rabid dogs fighting over scraps," Justin sneered. "My boss already told you - he wants nothing more to do with you people. This money stays with us, so abandon your pathetic pipe dreams."

But Trinity refused to back down. "On what grounds does he get to just walk away after so many years together? Is my daughter so worthless that he can just toss her aside like garbage? I don't think so. Even if they're breaking up, we deserve compensation for the emotional and youthful trauma Kimberly has endured," she declared stubbornly.

At this point, even Justin had to laugh at the absurdity. He had dealt with shameless people before, but never someone so completely devoid of dignity. Trinity had promised Kimberly to two different suitors, shamelessly stringing them both along as backups. And now she had the audacity to make even greater demands? Justin had never witnessed such gall.

Noticing Justin's hardened resolve, Derek's confidence seemed t

    Justin was impressed by their bold-faced lies. But now that they'd acknowledged this wedding, nothing else mattered.He handed over his business card and said, "No need. Derek Ramirez is my big brother. I'll naturally handle all the wedding arrangements myself - the venue, bridal car, drinks, guests, everything.But if you dare to go back on your word, don't blame me for being merciless."Trinity took the card with trembling hands. Seeing the name on it, she nearly fell to the ground in shock."This...this...Sunrise Corporation's Executive Chairman, Justin!""You're that famous heavyweight tycoon Justin? But didn't you say Justin was hosting a dinner tonight for these two gentlemen?"The woman was totally confused."That's right, I did say that. Can't I host a dinner to celebrate my big brother's wedding? What, do you have a problem with that? Or shall we have a little chat, my fists haven't gotten any action in a while. Maybe we can spar a little?"Hearing this, Trinity shuddered in

    "Hmph, dare to do the deed but not admit it? Your mom already promised you to me in marriage, and the wedding was set for next week. Now you've run off with this man, disgracing me utterly. If not adultery, then what is it?" "You fart!" Derek angrily cursed as well, face dark. It was clear he was genuinely furious. Since Justin had known Derek, he had always been good-tempered, considering himself a gentleman who valued propriety. To hear him throw decorum to the wind and curse unrestrained showed this matter had crossed his bottom line. "Oh, I haven't even gotten to you yet, you punk. Who the hell are you to steal Preston's woman? Looking to die? Go ask around, who in Nova City doesn't know Preston? Let me tell you, Viper is my boss. Don't believe I could call over hundreds of men to teach you a lesson?""Oh, what's that stench in this fine restaurant? Did someone's cesspool explode? So much foul odor, it's unbearable. I should lodge a complaint about the poor hygiene here. Believe

    Bending to authority, the reluctant guards charged forward, only to be floored within minutes, unable to even crawl up.Of course, Justin didn't injure them severely, just used a special technique to seal several pressure points and immobilize them.Seeing this young man so casually trounce his men, Jayden Dunn's eyeballs nearly popped out in fright. Behind him, Preston reacted similarly, both clinging to each other with faces pale as corpses."What do you think? Not bad skills for little ol' me right? You lot are just too weak, not even worth my time. Anymore? Send me a truckload, I won't rest today till I've whipped you all into shape. Then you'll know Justin's prowess."Hearing this, the two looked bitterly resigned. Where could they find a truckload of men now? They were both abandoned, with no one to help them.Suddenly remembering his background, Preston yelled, "You can't touch me! I'm one of Viper's men. Let me tell you, I just called Viper and he's on his way. You'll be sorry

    They arrived at a large square outside the restaurant, spacious with few obstructions—perfect for martial arts."Alright, this will do. Plenty of space. If you wanna fight then hurry up. I still have a meal to finish. Really, so annoying lately. Can't even eat in peace with people coming to slap my face."As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Preston and Manager Dunn. The two men nearly spat blood in anger. Fuck! How dare he make it seem like they were the aggressors when he was the presumptuous one!"Fine, I won't keep you from your meal. Make your move!"Viper took up his stance as his men watched excitedly. They would get to witness their invincible boss thrash someone again and feel their hot blood boil. It seemed they were in for a show today.The crowd backed away, wary of getting caught in the crossfire.But Justin remained utterly still and casual.Seeing this, puzzlement covered every face except Viper's darkened one."What's this?

    "Ah yes, someone did summon me for help...Preston! Where do you think you're slithering off to?""Viper! I'm right here, not going anywhere. You misunderstand, I made no attempt to flee." "Misunderstanding, is it? You claimed someone threatened and tried to steal your wife. Explain yourself clearly. I will see justice done since I'm here."Preston crumpled to his knees in fright. "I lied, brother! My wife is safe at home. No one took her. And I was just rambling nonsense about being beaten in public - who would dare with all these witnesses? I must have been drunk and confused when I called you. Please forgive my idiocy, it won't happen again!""Still muddled, are you? Shall I help clear your head?"Cold sweat drenched Preston's back at the ominous words. "No, no!" he shrieked, but Viper ignored his pleas. Snatching a wine bottle from the table, he smashed it over Preston's head.Blood and wine gushed from the gaping wound. Preston collapsed, unconscious. Viper hauled him up, cursing

    "Look who's talking!"Bathed in moonlight, the lovers savored the magical moment. Justin wished time would freeze to preserve the bliss.That night they formalized their relationship, both too elated about the future to sleep. Justin finally released his past to embark on new love.They had planned to return to campus tomorrow as students. But at dawn, Viper appeared grinning at their doorstep with Ava's mother.Seeing them emerge, he heartily embraced Justin, nearly smacking the life out of him. Luckily, Justin's martial skills allowed him to withstand the enthusiasm. Others would have crumpled from those hearty whacks.After Viper finally finished pummeling his back, Justin asked quizzically, "You're here so early, must be something urgent?"Viper slapped his forehead.

    "Ha, my friend, you better splash some water on your face and snap out of it. Take a look around. Stones here cost millions a piece. This game is only for the real rich folks. The likes of us can only watch and envy."The outbursts caught Justin's attention. He approached the vocal pair and asked what had happened. Sizing Justin up in his expensive outfit, they assumed he was a successful entrepreneur, or at least a rich heir.With a smile, one explained: "Young man, you probably don't know this, but the uncut stones here are hand-picked by the manor owner himself. Every piece produces jadeite, but they are extraordinarily expensive - ten times the price elsewhere, or even higher. Us regular folks can only look, not buy. Don't try your luck, just look around for fun."Despite the warning, Justin grew interested. Stones of such exorbitant cost, where each one guaranteed jadeite... the selection process must be rigorous.Heh heh, might as well try his luck and see if he could uncover th

    "My word, a rare alexandrite! So transparent too - this must be a premium gem. Damn it, no matter the cost, I must have it!" The stout, greasy man was clearly affluent."As you can see, this is a premium quality alexandrite. I guarantee it. With a starting bid of 500 million and minimum increments of 200 million, let the bidding commence!"Hearing this, the crowd grew restless. A massive high-grade alexandrite was a rare find. Obtaining it could earn a fortune. Bids poured in fiercely, even from Viper. This time, Justin did not stop him. The stone was exquisite - Viper could profit handsomely if he won it.But the astronomical price gave Justin pause. Could Viper really afford this?To everyone's shock, Viper succeeded at 2 billion dollars! Seeing his gleeful, satisfied expression, Justin smiled wryly.He had underestimated this hidden tycoon!"Haha, thanks brother! If not for you stopping me earlier, I would've missed out on this alexandrite. See anything you fancy? Just buy it if

    Soon after ingesting it, the old man coughed and retched up a pool of black blood, gradually regaining clarity. When he lifted his gaze to see his eldest before him, he trembled in excitement, hands fumbling to caress Justin's face."My boy, you've come back! Where have you been all this time? Do you know what chaos ensued in the family during your absence?""Old master, please calm yourself. I'm not your son. Listen as I explain everything."With that, they helped the old man out of his coffin and into an armchair. The same confusion swirled in everyone's minds. Justin then removed his disguise, reverting to his original appearance, and carefully reiterated the events leading up to this moment. Though incredulous at first, the fantastic tale made sense upon reflection.The old man too accepted this was not his real firstborn, but rejoiced at his second son's return. The two siblings knelt before their father, weeping uncontrollably like three-year-olds. The old man beamed with gran

    Naturally the pretender had no knowledge of this, so he pondered briefly before replying."I believe it was the left foot.""Wrong. I wasn't actually bitten because Mother saved me in time, though she gashed her left arm in the process. You didn't know about that incident, did you?" "I'm sure the esteemed guests here remember the day my mother's arm was bleeding profusely when I was seven. Uncle, I recall you drove her to get treated at the hospital. Am I right?""Yes, yes, I remember now. The mistress did injure her arm back then, and I personally took her to the hospital. She specifically instructed me not to inform anyone else, to avoid worry. There's no mistake, he is the young master, the true heir.""Hmph, you think such hearsay can prove I'm fake? I could just as well say you bribed the uncle to deceive everyone. Nobody else witnessed that old incident anyway, so you can make up whatever story you want.""Still unconvinced? Then I'll reveal one more fact known only to my clos

With it, you can imitate anyone's voice to 99% accuracy."Justin was intrigued, though the skill's price gave him pause. But with his endless fortune of points, the cost was trivial.After purchasing, vocal techniques instantly filled his mind. He softly hummed along to the recording, astonishing the siblings. With just a line, his cadence and tone perfectly matched their brother's. Between looks and voice, even the real deal before them wouldn't be distinguishable from this imitation."Well, can I pass?""More than pass!

    Justin paid no mind to his friends' envious gazes as he followed the woman inside and took a seat. She sashayed over, hips swaying, and poured him a cup of tea. Her alluring figure and bewitching aura stirred desires within Justin. He couldn't help it - she was too tempting. Though Justin had his share of women, they were innocent girls, no match for the mature allure of this femme fatale. If not for knowing she spelled trouble, he would have made her part of his harem. A beauty like her didn't deserve to be wasted on others.While he was lost in thought, the woman slinked back over with a folder in hand. She took out some photos and passed them to Justin.Seeing the man in the photos, Justin shot up in shock, hands trembling. He quickly calmed himself to avoid losing face. But his astonishment was understandable.The man looked identical to him, like two peas in a pod - just more mature with a refined, gentlemanly bearing. Even in the simple photos, he exuded a carefree elegance.

    Rose's gaze never left Justin. As she watched, his image seemed to overlay and merge with that of a man in his thirties from her memories - her brother, who had disappeared over ten years ago. She had come to this city to search for him. But despite her efforts, there had been no trace. Finding someone who bore such an uncanny resemblance sparked new hope within her. "Go check his background thoroughly. Find out his connection to my brother. The drink is his tonight." At Rose's order, a man behind her swiftly departed. Rose then headed up to the stage and cut the deafening music. Justin's dancing slowed to a stop as all eyes turned to the elegant woman, curious what exquisite concoction she would produce tonight.Rose surveyed the array of bottles before her. She selected a bottle of Spirytus Rektyfikowany - pure grain alcohol known as "life water", the strongest vodka in the world. This she mixed with some fruit juices in casual pours before picking up the glass and descending fr

    "Oh, it's just a simple little trick, that's all. But now this is a true Blood-Sweat Horse, the finest of steeds. I've decided to keep him for myself. In a couple days at my wedding, I'll ride him down the streets in my finest wedding clothes, with camera crews from my two livestreaming companies recording everything. I want the whole country, nay, the whole world to see my spectacular wedding!""Holy hell, that's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? Riding a legendary steed in the wedding parade - that's big face for sure! Hey, I'm taking back my decision to sell him. You just name your price, anything, and the horse is yours. Do we have a deal?""Adrian Webb, you must be dreaming. Even your toes can think well enough to know that's never going to happen. First you insult the poor beast, then when he turns into a marvel, you want to claim him? Have you no shame?"Adrian was left speechless by Justin's rebuke. In the end he had no choice but to give up.

He lashed its hindquarters a few times. The horse neighed painfully but sped up again.Seeing the speed return, Adrian finally relaxed. Half the track remained. He just wanted the horse to finish the rest quickly, no more mishaps. Otherwise today would be terribly embarrassing. "Hey, this won't do! I've caught up to you, will overtake you soon! I said your horse was no good!""Nonsense, he just ate something disagreeable, needs to digest it. He'll run properly again immediately, heh, you've certainly lost today!" "I give up, even now you're still stubborn. Fine, if you insist on going on, then bet on!

I really did import this Sweatblood from overseas, and had experts examine it too. They said it's extremely healthy, the most robust horse in my stable! How could it be fake, let alone injured?

So you're saying I'm an ill-intentioned villain?" "I wouldn't dare, you're Mr. Webb's friend, I wouldn't offend you. But I must say, I've always worked in good conscience, never doing such swindling. This horse is truly healthy. If you insist it's sick, I can't do anything about it.""Seems you still don't believe me. Then let's bet on it.
