The sight left everyone present dumbfounded, including Emily. The man bowing and scraping before them was none other than the true owner of Splendid Villa, the big boss behind the scenes, Kyle Clark.Kyle Clark was no ordinary man. Although he wasn't as wealthy and influential as Gabriel Smith, his status in Nova City was significant. At the very least, most wealthy people who saw him would respectfully address him as Manager Clark. But now, the lofty boss they knew was showing such deference to a young man, lavishing praise and respect upon him. It was simply inconceivable."Manager Clark, who is this gentleman?" The man who had previously mocked Justin was now apprehensive. He thought for a moment and finally asked tentatively."Oh, allow me to introduce you all to the new chairman of Sunrise Corporation, Mr. Wilson. He is also one of Nova City's rising business elite and a future business magnate," Kyle Clark praised Justin effusively. After all, Justin's status was on full display
Upon hearing that Justin intended to purchase ten more villas, Kyle Clark was overjoyed. He promptly ushered Justin into a private reception room and personally brewed a cup of exquisite coffee."Mr. Wilson, it's an honor to have you as a client at Splendid Villa. Rest assured, from this day on, you will be our most esteemed customer. We will provide you with the highest level of service, including a personal butler available 24 hours a day to cater to your every need. Whether you are present or away, they will ensure your living space is well-maintained."As Kyle Clark showered him with compliments, Justin sensed that something was amiss; someone like Kyle wouldn't be so attentive without an ulterior motive. What he was experiencing now was an excessive display of hospitality, likely a prelude to an upcoming request."Manager Clark, let's be straightforward with each other. If you have something to ask, just be direct.""Mr. Wilson, you're right. I do have a favor to ask. Do you reme
Justin had Kyle Clark drop them off in front of the largest 4S dealership nearby before bidding him goodbye. After seeing him off, Justin took Emily's hand, and said, "Let's go buy a car now."Emily blushed like an apple, feeling the warmth of the hand holding hers. She had never been this intimately close to a man before, and the experience was both sweet and shy. Unconsciously, it filled her with a sense of happiness.This was the largest 4S dealership in Nova City. Justin led Emily inside, only to find that a car exhibition was underway. The venue was packed with people, and luxury cars were everywhere.The cars here were worth a fortune, with prices easily reaching tens of millions or even billions of dollars, making them unattainable for most. A male salesperson approached them enthusiastically and asked, "Hello, sir. How may I assist you?"Unlike the receptionists at Splendid Villa, this salesman was not as snobbish. He could tell that the young man was wearing a suit worth hund
At this moment, the blonde guy tried to get up but was kicked away by Justin again. This time, he wasn't as lucky as before. He was slammed against the opposite wall, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out. Everyone around looked at Justin in shock, their expressions gradually turning to terror.This man was ruthless. Not only did he slap the guy, but he also knocked him out with a kick. Was he dead? Resorting to violence so readily was horrifying."Alright, stop standing there dumbfounded. Are you his lackeys?" Justin smirked at the nearby thugs. "Well? Want to try your luck against me?""Uh… we…" The thugs exchanged glances, none daring to speak. Their boss had been defeated in one blow, and they knew better than to provoke this man."Stop blocking my view and get this piece of crap out of here. It's disgusting to look at. What was he thinking, dyeing his hair yellow and curling it? It looks like he's got a pile of crap on his head. It's nauseating." The thugs quickly scattered, an
"Mr. Taylor, you jest. You are a legend in the business world of Nova City, and I have long admired your reputation. It's a delight for us to collaborate with you. My team and I have made extensive preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong. Shall we discuss the specifics of our partnership now, if that's all right?""Hold on, Mrs. Ross. I have heard that your company website has been hacked, and all your clients' information has been lost. Is that true? If so, I'm afraid I cannot continue with this partnership, as I do not wish to ally myself with a company that poses security risks."Austin Taylor was unrelenting, while Michael Taylor ogled Mia Ross like a lascivious wolf, his eyes glued to her, saliva dripping from his mouth—his demeanor couldn't be more humiliating.In truth, Michael had long coveted Mia Ross's beauty, and the hacking incident was orchestrated by father and son. Their goal was to exploit this partnership for a substantial gain, preferably acquiring Mia in the proce
Upon seeing her empty computer, Mia couldn't remain calm any longer. While dealing with Austin Taylor's mocking smirk, she tried frantically to recover the lost data. However, this wasn't a simple case of accidental deletion—it had been a cyberattack. How could she possibly retrieve the information with her limited computer skills?As her panic grew, Austin Taylor noticed and sneered, "What's the matter, Mrs. Ross? Is there a problem with your computer? Don't tell me it's true—like the rumors say, your company has lost all its data, even the president's computer has been hacked! How can we discuss a collaboration now? Even if I wanted to, without a concrete proposal, we have nothing to talk about."He continued to laugh arrogantly, knowing that the hacker he had hired was one of the nation's best. Even an expert hacker would have trouble recovering the files, let alone a woman with no programming knowledge.However, Justin wouldn't let this man have his way. He effortlessly lifted Mic
Unfazed by Austin Taylor's menacing demeanor, Justin confidently stood his ground. With the System backing him, he was an invincible force. Any ordinary attempt to bring him down would be laughably futile.Upon realizing his scheme had been exposed and that success was now impossible, Austin Taylor furiously stormed off with his son, Michael Taylor. Their resentful glares as they left made it clear that they wouldn't let this matter rest.Mia initially wanted to go after them but reconsidered, stopping in her tracks. By now, it was apparent that the crisis at her company was a result of the father and son's machinations. Continuing to cooperate with them would make her a fool.She then turned to Justin, her icy face marked with a hint of curiosity. "Who are you, exactly? Why are you here? And why are you helping me?"Justin smiled faintly and casually seated himself on the couch opposite the stunning woman, taking a moment to admire her exquisite features. His nonchalant demeanor made
As soon as Justin returned to the dormitory and opened the door, he found several people rushing at him. Startled, he quickly dodged to the side, and the three attackers fell to the ground with a crash. These three were none other than his roommates.The one who looked like a skinny bamboo pole, wearing glasses thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle, and seemingly ready to topple over with the slightest breeze, was Adam Jones, the second oldest in their dormitory.The one with a fair complexion and a flirtatious demeanor, oozing self-admiration, was Maxwell Stone, the third oldest.As for the one with a robust build, appearing even more stalwart than a lion, but with a carefree and simple-minded nature, he was their dormitory leader, Tank Turner.Although these three had their distinctive characteristics, their personalities meshed well. When they got together, there was no telling what kind of mischief they might concoct. Their recent scheme was a carefully planned surprise for Jus
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
"I have just the thing." Zoey fished out a USB drive containing a song sung by her elder brother. His rich, magnetic voice was as pleasing as his looks, outclassing many professional singers. "System, can you modify my voice? Use his as a template and get to 80% similarity.""Master can purchase the Voice Mimicry skill for 100,000 points. 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! Let me get you one of brother's outfits too, then we can head for the estate and expose that fraud!"Now garbed in Miles' clothi
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. "Fine, fine, you win, I can'
Adrian panicked; the money was trivial, but he dreaded the horse suddenly collapsing, shaming him badly, or throwing him off."Run properly, beast! Or I'll really whip you!" 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! Just don't blame me later if you get tossed off and hurt your butt or face."Justin continued controlling his old steed to speed up. It ran faster and faster, gaining momentum ceaselessly. Its aura was like the ki
"Good lord, you dare scam me!" Adrian was furious and kicked the short fat worker in the stomach, knocking him over."Mr. Webb, you wrong me! 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? Don't you trust me? I've never made a mistake before, and certainly never been negligent working for you. Please don't be fooled by ill-intentioned people!""Oh? 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. I'll pick a horse I deem good, we'll race your horse against mine, and the result will show if I'm speaking nonsense or not!"Justin spread his hands, looki
Since Adam and the others rarely came to Metropolis Central, Justin wanted to show them around properly. At this time, Adrian Webb happened to rush over. Seeing the four guys, he decided to bring them out for fun.What? Why would Adrian Webb show up here? Think about it, with his personality, being cooped up at home for a month would make him mildew. He had sneaked out today after bribing his dad, and with Lucas Webb whispering into his ear, Kennedy wouldn't punish him."Hahaha, never thought I'd become friends with Adrian Webb one day. If word of this got out, I could brag about it for life!""Hahaha, the brothers flatter me. I'm friends with Justin, and you all are Justin's brothers, so naturally we're friends too. We're kindred spirits - we should hang out more in the future. Come, brothers, I'll bring you to experience something novel." With a wave of his hand, Adrian brought the four to a racecourse in the suburbs. All kinds of peerless horses could be found here, don't worry,
