"Audacity, you say? She carries my child within her - what more right do I need?"

"What?!" Jack reeled in dismay. Never had he envisioned his goddess swollen with another man's seed. The humiliation was profound.

Seeing his son unmanned, Landon's expression darkened. But before Cole could offer any explanation, he cut him off.

"Spare me your excuses. I've known Mia since she was small, and trust your family's principles. This is beyond belief - the boy merely seeks to shame us with vicious lies."

"You've tested my patience enough, boy. Leave now and I'll let this go. But persist with these antics, and I won't stay my hand."

"The likes of you can never provide her a fitting life. You're worlds apart - know your place! Don't presume above your station."

"A fair admonishment, sir, about not presuming too much. Yet it is you who has lorded your superiority this entire time. Perhaps you should take your own advice, and lead by example."

"Insolent pup! I admit you've made quite the name for

    Justin didn't bother to retort. He no longer cared to acknowledge this fool, knowing his day of reckoning approached. The long arm of the law would make him drink a bitter cup soon enough! As the saying goes, the righteous find divine help - how true! It seemed he must have saved the galaxy in his past life to have luck like this, resolving problems with such ease.At that moment, in the side room, Madison sat Mia before the dresser, brushing her hair while asking about her true feelings."Dear, be honest with me. This Justin is just an actor you hired, isn't he? There's nothing between you two, right?"Mia didn't answer, just nodded slightly in admission."I knew my daughter would never do such a thing. But it was really going too far to deceive us with this excuse! Do you know how frightened your mother was just now?""Mom! I'm sorry, I didn't know Justin would say all that.""It's alright. I can see he truly cares about you. Now tell me - what are you thinking? Will you agree to th

    With that, even Cole Ross could not object further. They stepped aside and let Captain Sean's men enter the estate and begin searching.Though they knew the diamond was on Jack Owens, to avoid seeming too targeted, they made a show of searching the entire estate before gathering together, shaking heads in feigned disappointment.Seeing the police uncover nothing, Cole Ross and Landon Owens relaxed, planning to destroy the diamond immediately after the police left. Even if questioned later, they could claim ignorance.But such wishful thinking was only that. Captain Sean returned smiling and said, "Apologies, but we've decided to search you individually, in case the contraband is hidden on one of you.I know this is most irregular, and beg your pardon if offense is taken. Once this matter is settled, I will personally come to apologize. For now, please bear with us.""What is the meaning of this? You've already searched! Why insist on body searches now? Isn't this going too far? We don

    "System, you can't be serious! Look at the old guy yelling - he's more vigorous than a young man. If he's terminally ill, I may as well lay down and die right now!""What do you know? Do your eyes breathe for you? Open your X-ray Vision and take a good look at his heart area."Curious, Justin immediately switched on X-ray Vision and looked. Fuck! He nearly jumped in fright. Inside Cole Ross's chest, a mass of black objects swarmed over his heart, wriggling as if alive. But Justin had no idea what they were."You idiot, those are Money Worms!"The System finally explained."What are Money Worms? I've never heard of them!""Of course you haven't. They're pets kept by the rich on Planet Super Rich. The worms constantly absorb air and convert it into money."Fuck, such a thing existed? Justin was seriously shaken. He'd never imagined something so bizarre - worms that turned air into cash, practically printing money from nothing! Most importantly, weren't they only found on Planet Super Ri

    No matter what Cole Ross said, Justin kept harping on about his illness, and strangely enough, the constant insinuations were starting to make him feel uncertain. Perhaps it was just psychological suggestion, but he was suddenly aware of a tingling discomfort in his chest, as though a thousand insects were crawling over him. His breathing felt constricted too, as if something heavy lay upon it.An ordinary man would be unnerved by such insidious power of suggestion, let alone someone who really was ill. But for the sake of his pride, Cole Ross forced himself not to show it."Boy, stop trying to scare me. You haven't examined me or tested me, so how can you know there's something wrong with my body? You're just spouting nonsense.""I'm afraid I really can see it. Do you know what kind of eyes I have? I have X-ray vision!""Keep boasting, boy. Soon you'll have blown it all out of proportion. X-ray vision indeed! If you really had such a power, there wouldn't be so many lunatics running

    Justin plopped down on a nearby stool, making no move to take action yet. He took out a gold nugget and ground it into a fine powder directly in his hand. Though mystifying to watch, with his Steel Body and formidable strength, Justin could just manage it. Once the gold was reduced to dust, he approached Cole Ross again.Madison watched on in mingled curiosity and concern. "Mr. Wilson, what are you doing? You're not really going to harm my husband, are you? Please spare him, I'm begging you.""Now now Auntie, no more nonsense. I'm trying to save him. No matter what you see, don't panic and keep holding him down. It could get dangerous otherwise."Justin said no more after that. He simply took the gold powder and poured it directly into Cole Ross's nostrils. The sight made everyone's blood run cold - this was real gold, not chocolate! Inhaling it would clog the airway and potentially prove fatal!Just as Mia and her mother moved to stop Justin, the golden dust seemed to get absorbed so

    "You really felt nothing? Impossible. Let me ask you, haven't you been placing more importance on money lately? Feeling like you don't have enough? And I bet the Owens offered you some benefit to make you agree to the marriage deal, right? Now, do you dare tell me your true inner thoughts?"Justin's blunt questions stemmed from knowing the Money Worms could influence one's mind, making them increasingly greedy. This greed arose from the worm's own craving for wealth.According to the System, on the Super Rich Planet the worms were fed with money. Deprived of it, they would make endless demands - the root of avarice.Cole Ross fell silent, for Justin's words cut straight to the heart of him. He too wondered if he had grown far too grasping, constantly thinking of how to earn more these days.Seeing Cole Ross's reaction, Justin had no interest in interrogating him further. He simply turned and left without another glance. Mia longed to call out to the departing man, but the words stuck

    Upon hearing this, Noah was finally unable to restrain himself any longer. But now he didn't have a phone, so there was no way for him to make a call. For a moment he was so angry he turned red, sitting there helplessly as he continued to defend his father."It's useless, completely useless, yet you still dare invoke Mr. Wilson's name? If you know Mr. Wilson then I know God. I think you're just here scamming handouts."At this moment Justin could no longer endure it. He shoved the door open and charged into the room. Before the nurse could react, he kicked her straight in the stomach, knocking her to the floor where she writhed, unable to get up.The woman was caught off guard and had no time to respond before Justin grabbed her hair and yanked her up. He slapped her across the face, instantly leaving several finger marks on her cheek as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Half of her face was badly swollen - she looked utterly pathetic."I am Mr. Wilson. What's wrong with th

    Suddenly the doctor charged over and snatched the phone, smashing it to the floor. The expensive, diamond-encrusted custom phone shattered into pieces.After this, the doctor grabbed Justin by the collar and arrogantly demanded, "Are you deaf, boy? I'm talking to you! You dare ignore me and try to make a call?""Oh, you wanted to call the cops, didn't you? Well let me tell you, even if you bring them here, I'm not afraid. You came and caused trouble on my turf, even daring to hit people. Even if the cops show up, it's you they'll arrest, not me!""What's the matter, out of tricks? Weren't you acting so tough just now? Didn't you say you'd call Mr. Wilson to take care of us? Why apologize now? It's too late for that. If you don't kneel and beg forgiveness today, don't even think about leaving in one piece.""Brother-in-law, don't let them off so easy. I already said if they don't kneel and apologize today, I won't let them go. They'll pay for hitting me, I'll make sure of it."The nurs

    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,
