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
Before they could finish, the Dean kicked them away."You scumbags have really screwed me over this time. Do you even know who you were cursing at? Forget it, no point telling you. I'll deal with you after I resolve things over there."He scurried over to Justin, face plastered with smiles and an extremely deferential attitude."Mr. Wilson, I'm terribly sorry for this incompetent staff causing you such grief. I apologize profusely and hope you can be the bigger man and not blame me.""Ha ha, Dean Scott is blameless! It wasn't you who wronged me. I certainly won't hold it against you, but your staff selection is rather poor, letting this riffraff in. Let me think - what did I say before leaving urgently this morning? Didn't I emphasize to care properly for the two patients? And I gave you a large sum, correct? You know all this!""Yet see what I come back to find? If not for coming on a whim, I might have missed this spectacle today! Since your hospital is so irresponsible, I'll have t
