Captain Sean and his men gawked at the scene, stunned. What just happened? These were ruthless mercenaries, not easy to subdue. Yet the legendary Mr. Wilson took them all down without a scratch. Now that was real strength!The mercs were hauled off to the police station while Justin accompanied Jade Stone King back to the Manor of Wealth.As for the merc sent to ready their helicopter, he arrived at the landing site only to find hundreds of Viper's men lying in wait. Terrified, he turned and fled. Against those odds, he was smart enough not to stick around. If an ordinary man didn't die of fright, he'd be driven insane.When they parted ways, Captain Sean said he would submit a report about the incident to his superiors, recommending Justin for a commendation. Justin didn't refuse—he cared more about fame than petty rewards. His popularity quest was ongoing, so the more people who knew his name and admired him, the more points he earned. This was free publicity; why reject it?Now Ju
Now it was a battle of wills, with neither side yielding. The price skyrocketed until it hit 250 billion.The old man could no longer restrain himself. Gloomily he said, "Friend, I truly desire these gems. They would be of great use to me. Could you let me have them? I would be eternally grateful. From now on, you would be my friend. No matter what trouble you encounter, as long as I can help, just ask. I will do all I can.""Sorry, sir, but I also desperately need these gems. They are equally useful to me. I'm afraid I must ask you, the elder, to graciously concede to me, the junior.""Young man, I urge you not to contend with me over these gems. Otherwise, I will be very displeased."The old man's words carried a killing intent that chilled the air of the underground plaza. Justin became alert, sensing a ripple of Force from this man. So the old guy was also a warrior, cultivating some yin style techniques it seemed. Such arts often led practitioners down crooked paths. This old man
Upon entering the private room, Mason Hicks and a beautiful woman also stood up, though Justin could sense their smiles were somewhat strained."Mr. Wilson, you're finally here. Please take a seat. Let me introduce you - this is my wife Adeline, also the vice president of my company. She's usually in charge of business operations.""Oh I see, so Mrs. Hicks is a power businesswoman as well! Impressive." Justin made a perfunctory remark and got right to the point."I heard you're ready with the documents and invited me today to sign the contract, correct?"The Hicks couple exchanged a look before nodding dejectedly. These days had been excruciating for them. Though they tried many ways and asked many people for help, those all avoided them like the plague after hearing they offended Justin, let alone offer assistance.They also considered many options, all to no avail. None of the former clients would return now, and the company was essentially running on empty. If things carried on thi
Before she could finish, her husband pulled her hand to stop her from continuing. Mason Hicks shook his head, hinting she shouldn't say more.Of course Justin knew what she wanted to say, but just smiled without taking offense."Mr. Hicks, since our cooperation has gone so smoothly, shouldn't we celebrate with some drinks? Don't worry, it's my treat today.""Come, waiter, bring the alcohol! Get me 10 of your best Royal Salutes. I'm not leaving until I'm drunk!"In truth, even 10 Royal Salutes couldn't intoxicate him with the Force in his body.Soon a female server came in pushing a trolley with 10 bottles of liquor and some glasses.She placed them on the table. But upon seeing Justin's face, she froze in place, stunned like an idiot.From the corner of his eye, Justin also noticed the server. When he turned, he too was genuinely shocked."It's you?"No wonder Justin was so surprised, for the server was none other than his ex-girlfriend Olivia."Mr. Wilson, you know her?" Mason Hicks
The commotion drew some curious servers over, but they were thoroughly admonished."What are you looking at? Go get your manager here!"Seeing Justin's fiery temper, Mason Hicks also sprang into action and ordered his son to fetch the hotel manager.Before the manager could speak upon arrival, something struck his face, making it burn painfully. Yet before he could erupt, he saw it was a membership card.Moreover, it was the hotel's top VIP card that only the owner could issue. Someone holding this card had to be the owner's friend or other esteemed figure. He couldn't afford to offend someone like that, so swallowed his anger even if simmering inside.The manager beamed ingratiatingly as he scurried to Justin's side and looked up at his face."Turns out it's Mr. Wilson! What a rare guest! My men were remiss in not informing me of your arrival and allowed you to encounter this vexing matter. Rest assured, I will investigate and handle it at once to your satisfaction.""No need to inve
Justin wasn't sure what use this could be. His dad still worked their modest family farm, which was enough for their needs. What was he supposed to do, leave this thing collecting dust in the System warehouse?"New System Mission: Master must raise intimacy with Mia to 1000 within the next 24 hours. Success will unlock unlimited peach blossom luck. Failure will result in immediate loss of junior brother, making Master the number one eunuch of the modern age.""Friendly reminder: time is precious, Master. Do your best!"Hearing this mission, Justin nearly fell out of bed in shock.This damn System was getting ruthless! Raising intimacy to 1000 in a day, equivalent to lifelong confidantes? Their current intimacy was a pitiful 100! Was this a joke?"Damn you System, you've become downright evil. Just you wait, one day I'll drag you out and stomp your face in with my size 42 shoe!""Apologies, but the System does not have a physical form yet. Even if Master wants revenge, there is no face
The redhead nearly choked in apoplectic fury. He had intended to seduce a beauty, only to be humiliated by this damn brat instead. As if the unwarranted slap wasn't insult enough! This could not stand."Insolent whelp! You'll pay for this. Get him, boys! Beat him half to death, then drag his ass over so I can smash that smart mouth myself. The rest of you clear out. The lady and I need to have a talk," the redhead barked with a lecherous leer, while his lackeys began closing in on Justin, cracking knuckles in anticipation.The other patrons hurriedly grabbed their belongings and left, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire between these reckless punks. Best to avoid any accidental injuries. Let the fools knock their teeth out if they wanted.After the restaurant emptied, the panicked owner emerged, desperately trying to defuse the situation. Business had only just picked up, she couldn't have it ruined by this disturbance."Now now, let's all calm down and talk this out reasonably
"Alright, Mr. Wilson, that's quite enough teasing him. We're trying to have a meal here. If you make a bloody mess, it'll ruin my appetite," Mia finally interjected, unable to bear watching any longer.Upon the lady's words, Justin naturally did not want to displease her. He gave the red-haired man one last kick in the behind, knocking him to the ground."Get lost! Consider yourself lucky today. If not for this kind lady speaking up, you wouldn't have walked out of here in one piece. I don't want to see you right now. Make yourself scarce as fast as you can. Take one second too long and I'll break your legs," Justin threatened."Yes, yes, thank you for your mercy, sir! Oh dear, I'm so unlucky today," the red-haired man muttered as he scrambled up and fled, gathering his lackeys cowering in the corner. He immediately began hitting them in frustration, taking out his anger from the beating he just received."Ow ow ow! Boss, stop hitting us!" they cried."Stop hitting you? Fuck! You all
