Justin nodded, accepting the pills. But the first one filled his mouth with intense medicinal bitterness and founess.

"Ptui! My god, what is this crap? More bitter than shit! Are you trying to poison me, old man? What's your aim? Seeking death?"

Justin was truly angry. What useless muck! Bitter, rough, and foul, with gritty dregs like sand. Disgusting! System's pills were fragrant and delicious, even strawberry flavored. How enjoyable those were!

And these were pointless - take one and wait over ten days to heal? You'd be long dead before they took effect! System's pills fully revived you from your last breath. With those, why would he need this trash?

"Please forgive me, senior! I meant no deception. All elixirs are like this - too few alchemists, and immature methods. These pills are considered supreme quality."

"This is considered a supreme pill?" Justin scoffed. After System's pills, his standards had risen.

Seeing Justin silent, Elder Gregory assumed he was permitted to leave.

    "Dr. Parker, shall I give it a try? Maybe I can save this gentleman."Upon hearing this, Dr. Parker reacted like a drowning man spotting a lighthouse. In an instant, he saw hope. He quickly made way for Alice, babbling: "Doctor Alice, thank goodness you're here. You're really our savior. Come, come, the patient is here. Please take a look!""Why are you all still standing around uselessly? Get out of here, you useless cretins. Don't obstruct Doctor Alice's space."Seeing the useless bunch still unmoving, Dr. Parker immediately flared up. He charged over and shoved them out.Although unhappy inside, the doctors made no complaints outwardly. They only wondered if Alice could cure the old man's poison. He already had one foot in the grave."The situation is very bad. Even for me, all I can do is stabilize him temporarily. Give me some time to look through ancient texts to find an antidote."The young woman's brows furrowed after she took the old man's pulse. Indeed, the poison today was

    He nagged on and on, lecturing Justin as if he were his own son. But he became more and more excessive, even criticizing Justin's family.Hearing these words, a surge of nameless anger rushed through Justin's mind. To him, his family was his inverse scale - no one was allowed to touch them, even if it was his girlfriend's dad. This was unacceptable.In an instant, he appeared right in front of Cole Ross. His aura exploding, Justin simply reached out and grabbed at the air. Suddenly countless small objects in the office flew up, suspended in midair as if held aloft by some mysterious force.Most shockingly, Cole Ross also flew up uncontrollably. But for him, it felt like the hand of death was clutching his neck, gradually suffocating him. He desperately wanted to struggle free from the invisible hand controlling him.But in the end he realized it was all wishful thinking. As a long-time man of power, Cole knew Justin had just shown killing intent. If this matter wasn't resolved properl

    "Hmph, boy, stop pretending here. Aren't you afraid you'll bite your own tongue spouting such big talk? Looking like you, you understand medical techniques? Go fool ghosts!""Alas, no one believes the plain truth. How sad. Forget it, I came today already anyway. Since I'm not needed, I'll take my leave. You guys figure it out yourselves. Remember, the old man only has half an hour left. If the toxins aren't completely drawn out within that half hour, he'll kick the bucket."After saying this, Justin turned and walked out without looking back. Alice had just entered the room when she suddenly heard the noisy sounds outside. Her assistants hadn't come in, and Dr. Parker had left to fetch the silver needles for Ghost Gate 13 Needles but hadn't returned for so long. She felt a bit impatient.So she walked out, just in time to hear what Justin had said."Sir, please wait a moment.""Anything else?" Justin didn't turn back, just coldly asked. He was truly in a terrible mood today. He had th

    Just then, Cole Ross ran out. Seeing all the doctors he had invited standing outside the room, he immediately exploded in rage."What are you doing? I brought you here to save the man, not stare blankly! Hurry and get in there to treat him!"The furious Cole even grabbed a doctor's collar and shoved him towards the door.Hearing this, that doctor instantly felt awful, his legs quivering.Seeing Cole Ross, Dr. Parker reacted like a mouse spotting a cat. But right now he didn't dare not step forward to reply, so he shakily walked over with a strange expression."Sorry Mr. Ross, we already determined the old master was poisoned...but..."Before he could finish speaking, Cole cut him off."Since you already know the cause, why aren't you quickly taking measures to treat him? What are you waiting for, until he's dead for you to go collect the corpse?""We're very sorry, Mr. Ross. Although we found the cause, we can't treat the patient because this poison requires a very special, ancient ac

    Justin pretended to look at his Rolex watch, calculating the time. The more he acted like this, the more anxious Cole Ross became. He knew Justin rarely made empty boasts. Last time when Justin said he had worms in his body, it turned out to be true. It seemed the brat did have some ability. If he said now that Hicks didn't have long left, it was probably true. What to do? How to choose between a life and his own face? If he refused, Hicks' delayed treatment would burden his conscience for life. But if he agreed, his prestige would be completely wiped out. In front of Justin, he wouldn't be able to hold his head high anymore."Alright, seeing you like this, people who don't know better would think you're constipated. Let's do this - as long as you promise to stop interfering between me and Mia, and sincerely bless us being together, we'll be family. Then I can justify saving him. What do you think? Only 30 seconds left to consider. It takes me at least 20 seconds to save him. If you

    At this time, Hicks also woke up. His first words upon waking weren't asking for anyone else, not even glancing at Cole Ross beside him."Where is Mr. Wilson?"Although the old man had lost consciousness from poison earlier, his mind had been clear. He knew Justin had saved him, so he wanted to find his benefactor after waking up."Hicks, you just woke up, don't speak yet. See who you want after you're a bit better." Cole Ross consoled.But Hicks insisted on wanting to see Justin no matter what.Although a bit annoyed, Cole still had no choice. He gritted his teeth and made way, sullenly saying, "Brat, Hicks is asking for you. What are you still doing over there?"Justin didn't quibble with him. He just humphed and walked over to Hicks with a smile. "Old uncle, what do you need me for?""I must thank Mr. Wilson deeply for saving my life this time. You've done a great deed for the Ross Family! Old me really doesn't know how to repay you."Justin waved grandly, "Old master, why so court

    Justin found himself oddly at ease with the old man, and felt compelled to share his secrets, as if the elder possessed some innate magic.Still, he held back from revealing the System. That was his greatest asset now. If opportunists caught wind of it, endless pursuits would ensue. Justin understood well: when commoners come upon treasures, their possession itself becomes a crime. "Good. Composure in success and failure, humility in high and low stations - the mark of a true man. Now I can entrust my young miss to you with peace of mind. Justin, though you saved me today, my cultivation is shattered beyond repair. I only wish to find a quiet place to close up now, and live out the rest of my dwindling years. From today forth, the care of the Ross Family falls to you. You must be their shelter from wind and rain!"Hearing this, Justin's gaze sharpened. It sounded almost like the old man was delivering his final words."Haha! Old Master, you should continue watching over the family y

    After waiting silently for half an hour, the elder on the bed retracted his aura. His eyes shone with newfound vigor, as if he had become another person altogether.Justin had not expected his pill to help the old man so tremendously. While precious, pills alone were useless without the right person to take them. No point keeping it for himself either. Best to give it to someone who could use it, and perhaps impress Mia with his sagacity too! Then she might come falling gratefully into his arms! Haha, delightful.With the old man's aura withdrawn, the floating objects all came crashing down. Caught unprepared, the onlookers failed to catch many things, which smashed noisily on the ground.But such trinkets meant nothing to the prestigious Ross family. The rejuvenated elder leapt off the bed, strode before Justin, and knelt on one knee. Clasping his hands respectfully, he said:"My deepest thanks for saving my life, Mr Wilson. Not only did you save me, but helped me overcome my decade-

    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

  • Chapter 445 Disguise

    "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.

  • Chapter 443 The Thorny Rose

    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."
