As the best man and maid of honor, Justin and Ava followed the newlyweds to each table for celebratory toasts. The VIPs rushed to rise for Mr. Wilson, not daring to remain seated in his presence."Now now, no need to stand on such a joyous day! Sit, eat, drink - enjoy yourselves! Just remember, no drunken antics or I'll be very upset." Justin uncharacteristically jovial today, inviting them to feast freely.The guests reciprocated his congenial mood, eating, drinking, and exchanging blessings. All except Trinity's table, sitting awkwardly isolated. Kimberly's family - word must have spread about their past transgressions. The elite guests avoided them like the plague, barely humoring her uncle's attempts at small talk.Usually treated like royalty, her uncle seethed at this subtle snubbing. He downed glass after glass, stewing over how to put Justin in his place and knock him down a peg.He nudged his sister and exchanged a telling glance. Trinity immediately understood his intent and
The stakes seemed fair, even skewed in the uncle's favor to the guests. Justin's empire was formidable - Sunrise, Taylor, half of Stellar, and the prized Hicks Corporation. Anyone would covet those assets.Eagerly the uncle agreed, confident of victory. But as the deadline neared, Justin simply stood smiling, without making any moves."Five more minutes for you to marshal your defenses. After that, my plan begins. Time's ticking, get busy."Though doubting Justin's ability to topple his foreign companies, the uncle wasn't taking chances. He found a laptop and notified them to prepare for attacks from all sides.Justin just smiled when the time expired - "Let the games begin, the final three minutes start now."Still no actions from him, no calls or orders. Just standing smiling, leisurely sipping his wine.The guests grew intrigued, wondering how he would fulfill his promise. They took out their phones, instructing their own subordinates to monitor and strike the uncle's holdings if n
Derek's wedding reception lasted until midnight. By the end, Justin had dismissed all the guests and was ready to leave with Ava.But Derek called Justin back, much to his confusion. After all, the night was still young - why stop him now?Derek Ramirez asked about the status of Kimberly's uncle. After all, Justin had declared earlier that he would seize all of the man's assets. Justin never made empty threats, so something must have happened.In response, Justin just smiled coldly. Was there any need to explain? When a fool comes asking to be put in his place, how could Super Rich not oblige? He had frozen all of the man's overseas accounts and tanked his company's stock price to an unprecedented low.The man was completely bankrupt now. Even if he got new investments, there was no coming back from this. His reputation was destroyed - who would invest in him now?Hearing this, Derek felt some pity.Justin walked over and patted his shoulder. "Some people are just like that, boss. The
This gift was truly expensive. On Kitten, $1 USD got 10 coins. A Kowloon Soaring cost 10,000 coins, so $1000. Even big spenders rarely sent gifts like this casually. The dazzling effects were rarely seen even in top channels.Yet now it appeared in this quiet stream with barely any viewers, shocking everyone when the trumpet icon flashed with the Kowloon Soaring message. At first no one thought anything of it, but what came next stunned them.One Kowloon Soaring after another appeared, as if money was no object, the dragon roars never ceasing. Justin sent a full ten Kowloon Soarings, the effects blaring for a while before finally fading. Viewers rubbed their eyes in disbelief before realizing it was real, thoroughly flabbergasted."Fuck, a moneybags has descended! 10 Kowloon Soarings, $10,000 just like that! Damn, who's so rich they don't know what to do with their money? No need to flash it like this!" read the chat.Justin just smiled coldly at this. Was this a lot of money? No, not
The previously desolate stream became packed within minutes, the chat exploding with questions about the identity of this super rich guy.Other streamers were also tempted - having such a moneybags in their stream would bring them insane traffic. Maybe they could earn a windfall tonight and clinch the top streamer spot on Kitten. So they shamelessly promoted themselves, trying to poach Justin, but he ignored them, continuing his gifting spree.Before long, the platform admins noticed the commotion. Seeing the flooded screen, they thought someone was hacking or using illegal programs to spam gifts. But checks showed Hailey's stream was clean. Baffled, they tuned in to find the cause - none other than this splurging tycoon Justin!Even the admins had never seen someone gift so lavishly. The screen was packed with Kowloon Soarings and all kinds of other expensive gifts nonstop. More and more people flooded in, even slowing down the servers.The admins quickly reported to upper management
The commotion attracted platform management, who logged into their accounts to watch the stream. Upon entering, they noticed a different vibe unlike other channels - no begging for gifts, just tranquil elegance. The view count had peaked, gifts continuously streaming. The platform reps were perplexed to find no signs of view botting or fake gifting. The gifts were from genuine viewers contributing bit by bit.The big spending super rich guy was suspicious though. Checking Justin's records, their eyes bulged seeing his extravagant past spending.Too wealthy! Even their whole platform hadn't seen a tycoon spending this much in a single day before. Compared to that day, today was restrained. With the same streamer twice, she was set to blow up!The stream lasted a few more hours, Justin's lavish gifting and the viewers' contributions finally pushing Hailey to #1 on Kitten's Top Streamers chart for the day.Not the most popular streamer yet, but solid progress made.The next day, Justin
Soon 100 Spacecrafts were sent, Justin's fingers tired from clicking. He had to rest a bit."My god, what's happening? 100 Spacecrafts, that's $5 million! Fuck, gimme that money instead, I'm so broke I can't afford food. Rich tycoon, spare me some please!""Trolls, see that? The power of a tycoon! What do you think? Weren't you also bragging about wealth? Let's see you gift $5 million! Quiet now eh, bunch of softies."The Spacecraft had platform-wide display, so Justin's gifting spree attracted viewers from other streams too. Over 3 million people flooded in, breaking Kitten's record for a single stream's peak popularity.Many enjoyed watching drama after all. Seeing the flooded chat, they came to watch the commotion, wondering what tycoon had descended with 100 Spacecrafts - was he forming an intergalactic armada?!But more shocks awaited. After a 1 minute break, Justin started using an auto-clicker, much easier on his hand which had started cramping manually gifting. Even more Spac
"Angry? Of course I'm angry! But who can blame me when Cupid loves teasing me so? Out of everyone, I just had to fall for you, a clueless wooden head without a speck of romance. My fate is miserable!"Ava complained for a bit, but her sweet smile revealed she wasn't truly angry, just bantering with her boyfriend.Justin naturally understood her meaning. Without a word, he swept her up and pushed her against the wall in a vigorous "wall slam".Seeing that handsome face just inches from hers made Ava's heart thump rapidly, like a bunny hopping inside. Her face flushed shyly, not daring to meet Justin's eyes."What are you doing? Let me go!""Little vixen, didn't you call me a clueless blockhead? Fine, I'll devour you now and see if you dare mock me again."Justin made a suggestive motion as he spoke. His audacity panicked Ava - this was the closest he had been, openly teasing her. Oh my, the shyness!"You bully, always taking advantage of me. If you keep this up, I'll ignore you..."But
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,
