2023-06-04 16:59:44A business elite strode forward, slapping the woman's face without hesitation. They were created by the system, and in some respects, they could represent it.
The system had long been displeased with these people and decided to teach them a lesson through the elite's hands.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to hit me?"
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that you've offended our boss. Now get out of here immediately."
Olivia had intended to argue further, but at that moment, another Bentley arrived outside.
Sunrise Corporation's former chairman, Gabriel Smith, entered with a group of people. Seeing him, Benjamin Lee and his companions rushed to greet him, their demeanor akin to meeting their own father.
"Ha, ha, ha! Justin, weren't you pretending to be the new chairman? Now that the real chairman is here, let's see how you keep up the act."
Christopher, seeing his father greeting Chairman Smith, regained his confidence and taunted loudly. However, to his surprise, Gabriel Smith didn't even glance at Christopher Lee as he entered. He went directly to Justin's side.
"Mr. Wilson, I apologize for my tardiness; there was a traffic jam on the way."
The people present were all dumbfounded, especially Olivia and Christopher. Their eyes widened in shock, mouths agape, large enough to fit a goose egg.
What was going on? Chairman Smith was bowing to Justin and addressing him as Mr. Wilson?
It was then that Chairman Smith turned his head and spoke sternly.
"General Manager Lee, Mr. Wilson is the new chairman. What are you all waiting for? Show your respect!"
"What? He...he's the new chairman?" Benjamin Lee's face changed instantly.
"He's really the new chairman?!"
The employees present gawked in amazement. Christopher's eyes bulged, unable to believe what he was witnessing. He looked as if he had been struck dumb.
The most distraught was Olivia.
"No, this can't be! He's just a poor kid. I know everything about his family situation; there's no way he could be the new chairman."
Olivia's voice grew shriller, as everything was turning her world upside down.
"Chairman Smith, have you made a mistake? He doesn't look like a chairman based on his attire."
Christopher, too, began to question his own reality. He asked incredulously.
"Do you dare to doubt my words? The acquisition contract is right here. Do you want to see it for yourself?"
Chairman Smith angrily tossed the contract in front of Christopher.
Upon examining the contract, Christopher saw the identity information and photo; it was indeed Justin.
Terrified, he collapsed on the ground, his face drained of color.
He couldn't imagine that the person he had called a loser just an hour ago, the person he wanted to trample underfoot, had transformed into his immediate superior, the most powerful figure in Sunrise Corporation. Reflecting on his actions, he dreaded the consequences.
Justin sneered and walked towards the crumpled Christopher Lee on the ground.
"Mr. Wilson!"
"I was wrong, Mr. Wilson. I shouldn't have taken your girlfriend. I apologize. I'll return her to you now. I actually have nothing to do with her. She's the one who's been seducing me. I haven't done anything to her. Please, spare me."
By virtue of the astounding identity as the chairman of Sunrise Corporation, Christopher Lee could scarcely entertain any thoughts other than begging for mercy.
Gazing at Christopher groveling before him, Justin felt a surge of satisfaction. The sensation of wealth and power was truly invigorating. Just an hour ago, this spoiled rich kid had been haughty and overbearing, yet now he knelt of his own accord, pleading for leniency.
Such a turn of events had once been beyond Justin's wildest dreams.
"Return her to me? I'm sorry, but I have no need for such a lowly woman. You may as well keep this gold-digger for your own enjoyment. Besides, do you really think I would spare you?"
Justin's eyes narrowed, an air of menace about him.
With that, he sent Christopher Lee flying with a swift kick. Crumpled to the ground, Christopher dared not resist, crawling back like a dog and prostrating himself at Justin's feet, ceaselessly kowtowing.
"Chairman, my son is ignorant; he's still a child. I beg you, as a magnanimous adult, please overlook his youthful folly," implored Benjamin Lee, stepping forward on behalf of his son and even elevating Justin to a status equal to his own.
Justin regarded Benjamin Lee with cold eyes. "You have the audacity to plead on behalf of this wastrel? Like father, like son. Isn't your son's arrogance a byproduct of your own indulgence?"
Justin scoffed.
"Effective today, I hereby declare, as the new chairman of Sunrise Corporation, that you and your son are terminated—never to be reemployed! As for that woman, be sure to take her with you; I don't want to see her again!"
"Terminated!" Benjamin Lee's face darkened. He had struggled for so many years, amassing such a vast network of connections, and had finally attained his current prominence. If he were to be dismissed now, all of his efforts would be in vain—utterly wasted.
Though he longed to object, the new chairman stood before him, and Chairman Smith was clearly on his side. Benjamin Lee had no choice but to swallow his protests.
Upon hearing the news, Christopher Lee fainted on the spot. His brazenness had always been backed by his father's influence. With his father's downfall, what support could he rely on? Without the luxuries of a wealthy heir, how could he survive?
The agony of plummeting from heaven to hell nearly drove him mad; it was no wonder he passed out.
"Security, give these riffraff a beating and toss them out! They're polluting my air!"
Several guards rushed in, and without a word, they beat Benjamin Lee and his son to a pulp before dragging them out like garbage bags.
"Damn you all! How dare you lay a hand on me, Benjamin Lee! You stinking guards don't want your jobs anymore, do you? You must be asking for death!" Benjamin Lee, faring slightly better, continued to yell defiantly.
One guard sneered, "General Manager Lee—oh, my mistake—you're no longer the general manager. You've been fired, and yet you're still putting on airs? What do you think you are? Say one more word, and I swear we'll beat you again."
Hearing he would be struck again, Benjamin Lee dared not speak another word.
In the end, Benjamin Lee and his son were discarded like trash.
Justin then turned his attention to Olivia.
At that moment, Olivia's face was ashen, and she was filled with regret.
She had been unfaithful with Christopher solely because of his wealth and status. Yet now...
In a stunning twist, her recently discarded ex-boyfriend had been transformed into the new chairman and the wealthiest man in Nova City.
"Justin, I... I was deceived by Christopher Lee's sweet words, led astray for a moment. But truly... I do love you. Please, in light of our year-long relationship, I beg you to give me another chance," Olivia implored, ultimately kneeling and clinging to Justin's legs, unwilling to let go.
"Olivia, I wonder if you remember something I once said to you. When I was a nobody, you wouldn't give me the time of day. But now, I'm beyond your reach."
With that, he pushed Olivia's hands away and strode off without looking back.

Justin approached Matthew Turner, whose face paled in fear. Matthew hurriedly spoke, "Mr. Wilson, I am not in league with Benjamin Lee. I am absolutely loyal to Sunrise Corporation. Please discern the truth."Justin waved his hand, smiling, "Manager Turner, there's no need to panic. We have no grudges between us, and I'm not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, I'm here to promote you and raise your salary. Starting today, you'll be promoted from deputy general manager to general manager. From now on, I'll need your help in overseeing both major and minor affairs within the company.""Really?""Of course it's true. Do I look like I'm joking with you?"In fact, Justin had already learned about Matthew Turner's background. He was a highly competent individual who had handled many matters well, but he had always been suppressed by Benjamin Lee. This prevented him from fully showcasing his talents, and he often had to take the blame for Benjamin's actions—a truly regrettable situation.

"Exactly, just a pauper. Even if he's here to buy something, look at his shabby appearance. What can he afford?""I don't know what our boss was thinking, letting a young girl like her work here. She's been here for a while and has no sales performance. She'll probably be fired soon. Then, people like him who can't afford clothes won't come and tarnish our store's environment."Overhearing their gossip, Justin remembered that he had entered the store to shop. There was a two-hour deadline for his task, and further delays might result in failing the mission.As the saying goes, don't let resources fall into others' fields. Since Ava needed money, he decided to help her achieve sales, allowing her to earn commissions and indirectly assisting her without causing embarrassment."Alright, let's discuss this later. Why don't you recommend a few stylish outfits for me? As you can see, my clothes are terribly worn, and they don't look good on me."Ava nodded and led him to a clothing area. Sh
System Activation: Becoming a Super Rich Chapter 6: The Malicious Landlady
Justin escorted Ava home and made sure she was settled before returning to his rented house in Nova City. The place was a mere 30 square meters, and despite its size, the monthly rent was still a whopping $1,200.This was already the cheapest rent in the entire city. Even so, he hadn't paid rent for three months. His landlady had warned him just a day before that if he didn't pay up, she would throw all his belongings out.As Justin approached his front door, he found it wide open. His clothes, luggage, and various knick-knacks were strewn across the yard, many of them damaged beyond use."Well, if it isn't Justin. You've finally decided to show your face."A sharp, mocking voice pierced his ears, instantly souring his mood. Justin glanced over at the speaker, his expression darkening."What's the matter, young man? Every time rent is due, you're nowhere to be seen. I thought you might've died out there or something."Victoria was a woman in her 40s, plump and mean-spirited. She looke

Upon catching a glimpse of Justin's eyes, the woman felt as if she had plunged into an icy abyss. A chill emanated from the depths of her bones, causing her hair to stand on end."What do you want? If you keep this up, I won't hold back! I'll call for help!""What do I want? You should know better. Weren't you asking for the rent? Fine, I'll give it to you now, but be prepared to catch it.""Really?"As soon as Justin mentioned paying her, the woman's expression changed instantly."How wonderful it would've been if you had done this sooner. At least you know when to yield. Where's the money? Hurry up and bring it out. Let me tell you, you scared me half to death just now, so the rent is no longer the same. You need to compensate me for emotional distress and the loss of my youth. Here's the deal, not too much or too little, just give me $10,000.""$10,000? This woman has really grown increasingly greedy. Justin is just a poor lad; how could he possibly come up with that much money? I'

He vowed to live a vibrant life and make something of himself."System, I want to participate in the lottery.""Understood. The lottery interface is now activated. Master, would you like to use your free lottery draw?"Without hesitation, Justin nodded. He was eager to get started.

The night passed without incident, and when Justin awoke the next morning, he felt a new, hair-thin energy coursing through his body, settling in his lower abdomen. Unlike his usual mornings, he felt incredibly refreshed and alert. As he recalled the previous night's events, it seemed as if a fuse had been lit in his mind, and he remembered every move of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu he had seen in his dream, now a true Brazilian Jiu-jitsu master.Compelled by his newfound skill, Justin went to the garden behind the hotel and began practicing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. His every move was a perfect reflection of the white-robed elder's demonstration from his dream.In the early morning, the garden was bustling with travelers coming and going. Many people would wake up early to exercise and breathe in the fresh air. Most of them jogged or did simple aerobic exercises, but none of them practiced Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as leisurely as Justin.Completely immersed in his practice, Justin performed the Brazil

In a matter of moments, Justin had effortlessly taken down the leading bodyguards who had rushed him. The head bodyguard, upon witnessing this display, found it incredible and felt an even stronger sense of impending danger.The reason for their master's stay at the hotel was to discuss a major business deal with the president of Stellar Corporation. More importantly, the deal involved a classified element. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the head bodyguard immediately commanded the remaining bodyguards to charge forward, even joining the fray himself.As the remaining men approached in a futile attempt, Justin showed no mercy. He expertly executed each move of his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, using slowness to counter speed and softness to overcome rigidity. In a matter of minutes, the bodyguards were left utterly powerless.At that moment, a young man clad in a white suit appeared.

The commotion was quite significant, causing the ground to tremble and dust to rise. Many people thought something major had happened, so they rushed out of their houses, only to find two young men fighting.Upon seeing his first move fail, Michael Taylor instantly changed his stance and launched another attack. This strike was even more ferocious, fierce, and powerful than the last, something Justin could not withstand. His only option was to rely on agility, hoping to neutralize the blow."Take another kick!" Michael Taylor yelled as he aimed a kick from below at Justin's chin.Justin was not one to give up easily. At that moment, he thought of a principle from the martial art of Jujitsu: using the opponent's force against them. Michael's Muay Thai packed a lot of power and was incredibly fierce, but if it didn't make contact, there would be a brief window of vulnerability – and that was his chance.As Michael's punch came, Justin dodged once more. In the instant their bodies brush

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.

"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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
