Sydney shut her eyes, assuming the cries were from Justin. When she opened them again, the swaggering thugs all lay crippled and writhing on the ground.In contrast, Justin was untouched without a hair amiss, still smiling at the moaning men.The elder had witnessed it all clearly, and exchanged knowing looks with his attendant, who simply nodded in response.Seeing his hired thugs trounced, the young master panicked. This guy was like a grim reaper! Wasn't he a pushover earlier? How did he suddenly become so formidable?Facing Justin now inspired more fear than facing his own father."You, listen up. I'm the second young master of the Hawkins Family. If you dare touch one hair on me, my family will make you pay."Still acting tough when cornered, but his trembling gave away his fear. The more scared he was, the more impotent he felt, the more he blustered.Justin delighted in making these arrogant fools grovel."Fine, I won't touch a hair on you. I'll just break your limbs instead."
Having purchased all ten villas on the hilltop, Justin had ample space. He arranged for the elder and Sydney to stay in one villa, then began examining the elder.He found the condition required at least seven days of intensive treatment. The elder was exhausted now, so Justin decided to start tomorrow and took his leave.But before he could exit the living room, Sydney called out to him. Neither brought up the earlier awkwardness, though Sydney's flushed face showed she was quite affected.Justin was also very embarrassed. Ogling is one thing, but getting caught with a nosebleed too? Why couldn't he tear his eyes away and stop when noticed? Now any explanation was impossible. Fortunately the other two didn't know, or he'd be barred from home again tonight."Miss Rice, did you need me for something?""Mr. Wilson, you're so forgetful! Didn't you invite me to film a commercial for your skincare? Let's discuss the details while there's still daylight, so I can start shooting ASAP once I'
Justin smiled and went to the kitchen to find several delicate dishes laid out, including his favorites, all steaming hot. But one look and you could tell they had been waiting a while, clearly reheated several times.Next to the exquisite fare were three place settings, with utensils fully arranged. It seemed Mia had been waiting for him all this time. Sigh, a beauty's favor was hard to bear. He really should rein himself in.Instead of eating right away, Justin put the dishes back in the microwave to reheat as he waited. He even took the chance to grab some wine and candles from the cellar, planning a candlelit dinner. Though oddly enough, most candlelit dinners were for two, while his would be for three. Don't ask why, just take it that I have multiple lady friends, got a problem with that?Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was his old man, he picked up."Yo dad, still up so late? What's up with the call? Miss your son? If you miss me, I'll come back in a couple days. B
Just as he was about to leave, Sydney Rice came out with breakfast, even preparing a share for him - truly thoughtful. Unable to resist her enthusiastic invitation, Justin ate there, though recalling Mia's warning last night, he didn't linger. He went straight to Derek's villa and drove his sister-in-law to the hospital.At the hospital, people instinctively shrank away to give them space, some not even daring to look his way. Justin rubbed his nose, puzzled. Was he really that intimidating? Just because he taught one woman a lesson two nights ago? Why so afraid?Justin carefully escorted his sister-in-law to the obstetrics department, but grew uncomfortable upon reaching the door. Still a virgin without any experience in this area, he had no idea how to assist with the exam here.Luckily, the obstetrician on duty last night was one who witnessed Justin's life-saving abilities. Seeing the VIP arrive, he didn't dare delay, immediately reporting it to the dean.The dean rushed over at o
"Ding-dong! New System mission - use the steaming detox method learned to eliminate toxins in this patient and cure his illness. Rewards for success: 6-month life extension, 1 movie ticket fragment, 10 reputation. Failure deducts 10 years life, irrevocably."Justin swore at the mission sprung on him. Of course it tossed this hot potato his way! Deliberately trying to screw him over. Only 6 months life for success, but 10 years deducted for failure? Outrageous! Even Justin couldn't stand the System's maliciousness. Felt like dragging it out for a beating.But he was powerless now, no choice but to brave it. Standing calmly, he declared: "I've examined him. He's been poisoned by a very strange toxin. The only antidote is a special treatment in the next 30 minutes, or he won't make it.""Doctor please, save him! We'll be eternally grateful, no matter the method!"The wife rushed over grasping Justin's hand desperately, while the others watched expectantly, waiting for another miracle c
With that, he left the ward. His sister-in-law had just finished her checkup, looking elated."What's got you so happy, sis?""Oh, the doctor said the fetus is developing very well. Due in 6 months! Won't your brother be thrilled to jump for joy when he hears?""For sure, he'll hug and kiss you right there."Laughing together, they left the hospital, ignoring the dean's attempted recruitment.After sending his sister home, Justin visited Mr. Rice, finding him much improved. It was time to begin treatment, starting with acupuncture that day.When the session ended, Mr. Rice already felt his breathing and heart pains ease significantly. Extremely pleased, he chatted with Justin for a long time."Mr. Wilson, I'm curious about something. Please enlighten me if appropriate. If not, nevermind.""Sir, what are you saying? Ask whatever you like. I'll tell you all I know. And no more Mr. Wilson - your granddaughter is my friend. Consider me your junior. Just call me Justin.""Alright Justin, I
"Mr. Dixon, good to see you!""Oh, if it isn't young Miss Mia! Been awhile. And who's this handsome lad with you?""He's my...um..." Mia stammered, blushing.Seeing her shyness, the elder was surprised. Looking Justin over, his aura and bearing were impressive despite plain clothes."No need to say more, I understand. A fine young man indeed." Mr. Dixon praised Justin unstintingly.Faced with such a kindly old man, Justin naturally didn't put on airs. He greeted the elder respectfully, then humbly said:"You flatter me, sir. It is you who are hale and hearty, no less so than us youths!"Delighted by Justin's buttering up, the old man guffawed and welcomed them in to select a complimentary piece after choosing.Of course Justin wouldn't take advantage like that. He merely nodded without a word, following Mr. Dixon inside to observe the wares knowledgeably.The displayed jade pieces were intricately carved and natural, simply masterworks. Many were clearly the elder's own handiwork, whi
As Riley methodically prepared at the carving station, Justin casually inspected his piece, then started carving without even sketching or planning!Mr. Dixon was shocked. Carving was no simple matter. Even he had to carefully plan each cut to envision the end result before starting. Justin's rashness would ruin the material!But seeing his composure, the elder decided to observe first before intervening. He would definitely stop the waste of such a fine stone.Mia also watched Justin worriedly. But things had come to this, so she could only believe in him and his past miracles. Maybe another today?Everyone waited with bated breath. After half an hour, Riley had carved an intricately detailed violet flower, perfectly utilizing the stone's color and characteristics for a natural look, clearly very skilled. She was still refining details.Meanwhile, Justin's piece remained formless even now.Peering over, they saw the stone still unchanged with Justin continuously carving away. Utterly
