Facing the deranged woman, Justin naturally had little to say. He flicked away her grasping hand and walked off with Blood Wolf.

"Stop right there! You're not getting away."

Unsurprisingly, she refused to let the matter go and charged forward to grab his clothes again. This time, Justin shook her off, sending the woman sprawling to the floor, soiling her expensive mink coat.

Justin approached the old dean and said, "Had I known there were so many mad dogs here prone to senseless biting, even if you groveled before me until death, I still wouldn't have agreed to save anyone. However, seeing as you're not a bad old man, I'll let it go this time. I've done what I promised and taken care of the patient inside. As long as the silver needles remain in his body for the next half hour, he'll pull through just fine. Alright, I'm off. Old timer, let's just call it even from your past favor. We're square now."

With that said, he promptly took his leave. The woman tried to stand and block his wa

    Indeed, Justin had returned to the food street. The old lady had regained consciousness and kept profusely thanking Justin.When she realized Justin had saved her life, the elderly woman almost knelt before him on the spot.Justin was startled and quickly helped support her.Heavens no! This senior could be his grandmother. Letting her kneel would surely cut short her life!"There now, Granny, no more thanks. Your illness was but trifling to me, a flick of my wrist. If you really want to thank someone, thank your good granddaughter here. Had she not diligently cared for you these past days, I'm afraid it would've been difficult to cure you even if I wanted to."Hearing this, the old lady turned and lovingly stroked her granddaughter's hair, tears streaming down her wrinkled face as she trembled, "My good girl, you've suffered much for me.""Granny, as long as you're well."The touching familial scene made Justin's nose turn sour. To avoid embarrassing himself in public, he quickly cha

    Listening to this, Justin nearly tripped and doused his front in the water he was drinking. He coughed incessantly, mentally cursing the shameless ingrate a hundred times over.What was with this hulking, bear-like brute acting like a dainty girl?Justin spitefully kicked him in the rear, booting the guy outside."Hurry up and unload everything. I'm starving if you haven't noticed!"Tiger just chuckled, unbothered, and strode over to a foolishly grinning underling whom he also promptly kicked in the rear, sending the man flying forward."What are you laughing for? Get going and unload the stuff!"The bewildered underling shot him an aggrieved look. "Boss, that's not fair. Just because you got kicked doesn't mean you can take it out on me.""What? You dare talk back to me? When have I ever dared fart in my boss's presence? Don't pretend you matter here. Get going!"After that, the rest of the men could only dejectedly start unloading the goods.Once everything was moved inside, Tiger b

    "Now, now, you're my employee, but since you call me Master, I'll give you a chance. This is no easy path, Shadowless Footsteps is bitter training. The elixir will strengthen your body. Still want this?"Justin knew the perils from experience. Though coarse, Tiger was loyal. Justin didn't want him hurt.Tiger hesitated, then knelt solemnly, holding out the items. "Master, I wish to grow strong, to rise above others so none may bully me again. I don't want to remain just another petty crook.""Very well. Starting tomorrow, apply the elixir each morning during practice. I'll check your progress in one week." Justin dismissed Tiger and sorted the ingredients himself before people carried in tables, chairs, and appliances to improve the shop. He would redecorate properly later. This street food stall would be his, someday.The two girls busied themselves with Justin, while the old lady prepared skewers behind them. The rich, tempting aroma made the three youngsters' mouths water, invigora

    He strode out the door, heading straight for the car. With Kyle already gone home to his wife, Justin had no choice but to get into Robert Burns' car, taking the passenger seat that Robert opened courteously for him.Robert then walked around to the other side, dismissively directing his driver to cede the wheel to him. The chauffeur gawked in astonishment - never before had he seen Robert open a door or offer to drive for another. But considering this man might save the young master's life, such exceptional treatment was understandable.Before long they arrived at the hospital. When Justin emerged from the operating room, it was already past noon. But he did not come out alone - trailing behind in a patient gown yet looking hale and hearty was Stephen Burns, as if nothing had been wrong with him at all.At this sight, everyone present froze in shock, eyes bulging and jaws dropping to the floor. The old hospital director looked especially stunned, his eyes threatening to pop out of th

    Seeing Justin's determination to leave, Robert could only reluctantly send him off, escorting him all the way to the hospital entrance. He even opened the car door himself, instructing his driver to safely deliver Justin back to the food street.Watching the casual, amiable exchange, the onlookers' worldviews were overturned once more. What made this young man so special that even Robert Burns opened car doors for him? They gazed enviously, oblivious that such treatment was perfectly normal for Justin.Under the driver's escort, Justin finally returned to the food street, only to find chaos erupting outside the skewer shop. A gang of petty thugs surrounded the entrance, led by a fat, vulgar woman shouting loudly.Sensing trouble, Justin immediately approached. Pushing through the crowd, the scene he found ignited fury - the shop's three workers had been knocked down, bearing no wounds but splattered with filthy slop. The ingredients he'd brought from the supermarket were also strewn a

    "Mr. Wilson, I'm Trevor, a Nova City market inspector. We received reports of malicious competition and property damage here. I'm ordered to investigate this severe situation. Please tell me what happened."Without wasting words, Justin stepped aside to let them view the damage inside.Trevor was no fool - he was just going through the motions. Now he had to keep up the act until the right moment to cease it."Yes, the destruction does seem quite severe. Please remain calm, we need to understand what occurred." He turned to the watching vendors. "Does anyone know what happened here? Please speak up freely, I guarantee your safety. Don't worry about anything."There were righteous folk in the crowd who recounted the full story, from before Justin returned to his forceful blow just now.Even without acting, hearing this ignited fury in Trevor. This widow and orphan already had it hard, yet that woman showed no mercy, ceaselessly maligning them as hags and vixens. Scum like her deserved

    Robert's offer was crafty but well-meaning. He saw a juicy opportunity and wanted part of the action. Fine by Justin - they were businessmen after all. Getting rich together was the way.After some discussion, the old lady soon fried up a batch of kebabs with the newly delivered ingredients and brought them over to the two. She also prepared a few bottles of beer for each of them - the best she could offer her guests in this place.Justin dug in voraciously, uncaring of manners. He was starving. The combination of beer and piping hot kebabs was sheer bliss.To his surprise, he noticed a hand reaching for the kebabs beside him. It was none other than Robert Burns, who was eating and drinking with total abandon, no trace of his usual boss persona.Perhaps noticing Justin's puzzled yet curious glance, Robert spoke up, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it weird for me to eat like this? Oh I see, you probably think that as a big boss, I would never deign to eat such simple foo

    The question was just too sudden. Their relationship was only beginning to bud, yet he was asking about marriage already? How could Justin explain the situation with the two girlfriends still waiting for him at home? Who knew if that revelation might get him killed? Best not go there for now. He'd have to find the right time to clarify matters in the future."Uncle, Cindy and I are still young. I have not thought about marriage yet. You know I'm still in school and busy with work, so I don't have time to consider this right now," Justin said gently. Hearing this, Chase Garcia's expression dimmed slightly, but he patted Justin on the shoulder and said, "I understand, it is too soon for you two to get married. But remember, Cindy is your girl now. You must not let her down. And you need to make this decision sooner than later. Otherwise if she gets pregnant, it will lead to gossip. Your aunt and I are old folks, we don't mind the chatter, but Cindy would be hurt!"Justin nearly fell ov

    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.

    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

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.
