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-
The chosen one, a revered and enviable figure in the world of cultivation. If cultivators were rare, then the chosen ones were an even rarer subset among them. Legend had it that they were destined for greatness from the moment they were born, with the ability and opportunity to learn something beyond martial arts—cultivation. And flying through the air was exactly the skill that cultivators, the chosen ones, could acquire.The old man now regarded Justin with divine reverence. If anyone dared to claim that Justin was not a deity at this moment, the old man would undoubtedly strike them down with a single punch. Open your dog-like eyes and see clearly. He's soaring through the sky, isn't that god-like? He may not be a god, but are you? How dare you blabber nonsense? Watch me beat the living daylights out of you!After the two of them took flight, Mia only felt a rushing wind around her, but there was no trace of coldness. Although she was tempted to open her eyes and see what was happ
That's why he had traveled all the way here for her concert, planning to make a move on Sydney after the show.But when Mia walked in just now, she immediately caught his roving eye. David had been with many women, but never seen such cold, stunning beauty before. Her little expressions were like a painting come to life.Seeing her so intimate and playful with a guy in weird clothes and a cape, David felt like a precious flower stuck in cow dung. A beauty like her should belong to someone like him, not some fool like that!Smoothing his clothes, David stood up and approached them gentlemanly, extending a hand. "Miss, I'm David Green from Metropolis Central. I'd love to get to know you better - may I have the honor of taking you to dinner tonight?"Justin heard him clearly but didn't even bother responding, continuing his lively chat with Mia. The complete disregard was blatant and obvious.David flushed, clearly not used to this. Never before had a woman ignored his advances. This bea
Just then, a disturbance occurred. A man in scandalous attire ripped off his shirt, exposing blubbery skin, and charged forward to pounce on Sydney Rice on stage. Cries of shock rang out; it had happened so quickly. No one expected this, not even Sydney Rice herself.Security rushed up to haul the man away. As they dragged him off, he writhed and yelled, "Sydney, I love you! I want to sleep with you!""Fuck, who's that pervert? How dare he defile our goddess! Beat him to death!" Enraged fans jumped to their feet, raining blows on the man. His actions had incited mass fury - to molest their pure idol was unforgivable!Justin watched, dumbfounded. What boldness! While others just talked big, this guy actually went for it. His ending wouldn't be pleasant, but making intimate contact with the nation's goddess - not a bad tradeoff! Justin thought, amused.Nearby, David Green's expression was black as the bottom of a pot. Calling over an underling, he whispered some instructions. The man p
Sure enough, even doubting fans quieted, totally enthralled by the romantic imagery invoked. All men harbored dreams of wandering the world dispensing justice as they pleased. Though crushed under the weight of reality, this song resonated with those deepest desires - many were moved to tears, wishing they could stand up this instant and embark on such a carefree, heroic life with their lover by their side.Justin soon finished his part, and Sydney Rice was supposed to continue. But she was utterly enraptured, eyes wide and fixed on him. It seemed the star today wasn't her, but Justin, while she was just a smitten fan here to enjoy the performance.Seeing this, Justin just shook his head internally and sang the rest himself. As the last note rang out, stunned silence blanketed the venue, fans gaping speechlessly at him.Eager to escape their stares, Justin put down the mic and returned to his seat.Settling back into his seat, Justin noticed several new additions - his three roommates
