Leaving Derek's company, night had fallen over Nova City, though the lively nightlife was just beginning. With misunderstandings resolved and new intimacy kindled, Justin felt more open-minded.

Mia had transformed into a shy maiden, timidly trailing Justin and unable to meet his eyes.

They arrived at a renowned French restaurant in Nova City, of course at the System's urging.

The staff welcomed them warmly into the elegant ambience, with refined piano melodies in the air—truly spirit-nurturing.

But Justin found such places too pretentious, looking fancy yet offering little substance. The tiny portions barely filled a gap in your teeth, never mind your stomach, yet cost a fortune. If not for the System's prompting, Justin would never come here.

As they prepared to order, the door opened again, admitting a familiar face that both recognized—Jack Owens.

"Well, if it isn't Young Master Owens? How did you confess and atone for your misdeeds so quickly? I'd have thought you'd spend a deca

    "Idiot." Unexpectedly, Justin didn't accept the duel but bluntly insulted Jack instead.Fury almost burst Jack's lungs. Refusing was one thing, but insults too? After Justin had already ruined him, must he also endure vilification? Unbearable!"Spare me your looks. Just this afternoon, Mia confessed her love and I reluctantly accepted, letting her be my girlfriend. Yet you still cling to delusions and even try splitting us up. What if not an idiot?""What? I don't believe an arrogant beauty like Mia would accept a bastard like you! It must be lies to intimidate me! But I'm not so foolish.""You're not foolish, just hard of hearing and mind. Let me repeat clearly—this afternoon, Mia confessed to me and I reluctantly accepted. You can't even comprehend plain words yet dare prattle nonsense? Utter idiot. If I were you, I'd have my father buy you a new brain and pair of ears before going out to disgrace yourself."Jack saw red and charged over, but Justin casually kicked him back to his

    When Justin Wilson said this, he glanced meaningfully at Jack Owens, who was sitting there looking extremely upset.Justin had not expected him to use such underhanded methods. Fortunately, he had just acquired fluent French skills today, otherwise he really would have been at a disadvantage here.Still, turnabout is fair play. Since Jack wanted to mess with him, Justin would not show him any mercy either. He nodded for the head chef to leave, then called over the restaurant manager. The manager hurried over and warmly asked Justin what he needed. Justin casually took out a gold card and slapped it down on the table."There's $50 million on here. That should be enough to buy your restaurant, right?""Sir, what do you mean?" The manager was stunned. Everything had been fine just a moment ago, so why was Justin suddenly talking about acquiring the restaurant?"I'm not implying anything. I just happen to like the atmosphere here, so I want to purchase this restaurant. I'm asking if $

    After the manager chased Jack Owens out, Justin returned to his seat and continued eating and drinking, completely ignoring the shocked looks from those around him. He didn't care what others thought - anyone who dared touch his woman would have to be prepared to face the consequences from him.Jack Owens had run right into the barrel of his gun, so of course Justin would deal with him.The manager came back and calmed the other customers, telling them their meals today would be discounted by 20%.But then he regretted it, realizing he had forgotten that he no longer owned the restaurant. The new boss was sitting right there. On what authority could he make that decision? Wasn't that overstepping? That was a major taboo!He glanced anxiously at Justin, but Justin didn't even look at him. He was still happily chatting with Mia.The two were feeding each other, looking incred

    The assassin who had tried to kill Justin was a foreign hitman, specialized in silent, invisible kills under the cover of darkness.When his shot missed, he didn't stay put but moved to a new location to keep looking for a chance to assassinate Justin. Just as he re-loaded his crossbow and prepared to search for Justin, he realized there was no trace of him at the movie theater entrance anymore.The assassin was shocked. He had kept watch the whole time - the boy had been standing there after the assassination attempt and hadn't left at all. How did he vanish into thin air?Peering through the dark night, the assassin couldn't find him anywhere. But at that moment, an ominous feeling arose behind him. He turned back to see a sharp crossbow bolt less than 1 cm from his eye.And the person holding the bolt was none other than his target."Uncle, don't you have something

    His shout alerted the bodyguards outside, who all rushed in and surrounded Justin, glaring at him as if he were a heartless demon."Mr. Owens, don't be impatient. Today you sent me a big gift, so turnabout is fair play. Reciprocity is one of our finest traditions. I really liked the gift you gave me, so naturally I have to give you one in return.""I noticed the young master here is hale and hearty, an outstanding graduate back from overseas. With his looks and education, I took quite a liking to him. He got lost outside and was in danger, but I happened to run into him and brought him back for you. Consider it my return gift. But I must ask, what is the meaning of this? I am visiting for the first time, yet you not only don't welcome me but even try to attack me. Is this how you treat your guests?""Enough nonsense! Justin Wilson, I know you're bent on making trouble, but sending that assassin was my decision alone, my

    Since it was complete, why wait? Justin directly exchanged it and actually got a bottle of the drug. It looked similar to normal medicine bottles, holding just ten pills the size of capsules. His luck wasn't great though, as he only drew the basic memory wipe drug. So he could only make the three of them forget their grudge against him.But that was fine too. Their memories were irrecoverable once wiped, so from now on Landon would forget everything related to Justin.Moreover, Justin had drained all the family's wealth. They surely couldn't remain in Nova City and would flee ashamed tomorrow morning. He needn't worry anymore.Also, he had slipped an extra ingredient into the drug - anyone who took it would die within six months at most.Justin didn't kill them outright to avoid drawing the attention of the national Warrior management agency, which would cause unnecessary

    "I'm fine. Also, about last night - tell your uncle not to investigate. I've already dealt with the culprit."Hearing this, Mia calmly agreed without seeming too surprised. She knew Justin's capabilities. If he wanted to uncover who was behind the attack, it would be simple for him.Another reason Justin stopped it was his uneasy gut feeling. Landon Owens had quite a good relationship with Cole Ross. If they really discovered Jack Owens turned into an idiot and the Owens' family fortune was emptied by Justin, he might live in perpetual anxiety, fearing Justin would target him next.While they were on the phone, Ava had already set out breakfast and come out from the house."Dear, who are you calling?"These words nearly scared Justin to death. Cold sweat instantly broke out as he hurriedly covered the phone, looking flustered. "Oh, nothing. Just a minor work issue that I'm clarif

Justin's legs ached from all the walking, but he was also thrilled.In the end, he walked between them, an arm around each beauty. They drew envious stares from every man they passed.

    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,
