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
"Damn, Justin, your luck is unbelievable! You just found 10 million dollars lying around? Come on, we should all get a share. Half for you, half for us.""Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you, bandits? Don't treat me like a cash cow. I'm telling you, this fortune fell into my lap thanks to my luck. If you guys want some, go to the church and pray to God. Maybe someday God will bless you with a penny or two, and then you'll strike it rich." Justin grinned mischievously."Enough with the nonsense. When you were dirt poor, you had no qualms about mooching off the three of us. You even used up many of my meal cards. Now that you're rolling in dough, you want to back out? Fat chance. If you don't share some with us today, you're not leaving.""Fuck! I'm really scared of you guys. You're worse than bandits. I have no idea how I got mixed up with you lot. Get cleaned up and come with me. Today, I'll show you what true wealth is."Hearing Justin's words, the three guys hurriedly tidied themselves u
Suppressing his nausea, Justin stepped out of the store and meticulously wiped his hand on Adam's clothes five or six times. He finally felt better, but Adam couldn't help but curse: "Damn, Justin, that's so low! You used my clothes to wipe off that woman's makeup? You have to wash this for me, or I'll wear your clothes!""What are you complaining about? You bought these clothes for 200 yuan and have been wearing them for over a year. So what if I use them to wipe my hands? I'll just buy you a bunch of new sets later. Honestly, you're so unworldly!" Justin grumbled and mocked Adam.Instead of getting angry, Adam happily leaned in: "Really, Justin? You'll take us shopping for clothes later? That's great! I don't want to wear these anymore. Since you want to use them to wipe your hands, I'll take them off and give them to you. But later, I want ten Versace suits like the one you're wearing. I won't accept anything less!"As he spoke, Adam actually began taking off his clothes and handed
Upon hearing her false accusations, Adam and the others couldn't stand it, and immediately began arguing with the opposing group. Both sides were red-faced and on the verge of a fight.The manager clearly didn't want the situation to escalate, so he stepped in to mediate. However, the three brothers were all defending Justin, eager to teach the woman a lesson. How could they possibly back down?Finally, Justin spoke up, "All right, guys, let's hear what they have to say. I'm curious to see what kind of tricks they're going to pull."At this, the brothers calmed down. The so-called manager wiped the sweat off his brow, approached Justin, and asked, "Sir, our staff accuses you of causing trouble in our store and behaving indecently towards our female employee. Is this true? Would you like to explain?""Explain? What is there to explain? Should I be the one to apologize after being mistreated by your staff? I believe your store has surveillance cameras, right? I don't want to argue about
In no time, the manager was covered in bruises and scratches. The brothers watched in astonishment as Adam Jones dramatically exclaimed, "My God, this woman is fierce! She fights more savagely than any man. She's not to be trifled with!"Maxwell Stone nodded in agreement, adding, "Indeed! This spectacle is far more thrilling than any movie. Compared to this, those action scenes are mere child's play.""By the way, do any of you have something to eat? We've been dealing with this mess for so long, and I'm starving. Boss, hand out the snacks you have, and once this show is over, we'll treat ourselves to a feast."At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit entered the scene. Upon witnessing the heated brawl between the man and woman, he furrowed his brow and scolded, "What on earth is going on here?! Brawling in broad daylight instead of working! You've utterly humiliated me. All of you, separate them at once!"The middle-aged man ordered his bodyguards to pry the two apar
After settling the matters and leaving the specialty store under the desperate gazes of the couple and the farewell of the area manager, Justin and his friends went on their way. The Sunrise Corporation's staff would handle the follow-up tasks, so there was no need for them to worry.Upon leaving, the group of friends were famished. Although they had snacked earlier, it wasn't enough to satiate their hunger, and they soon began to clamor for a meal.Justin rubbed his forehead, genuinely amazed by his famished friends. Whenever food was mentioned, they seemed to be instantly energized. They usually complained about being tired during work, and they hadn't even done anything today. All he had asked was for them to accompany him as he ran errands. Was it necessary for them to be so noisy?"Alright, today I'll treat you to a lavish meal. Let's go to the most luxurious restaurant in the city and eat whatever you want.""Great! I want to eat a huge lobster, like a 5-pound one.""Sure, eat u
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,
