"Oh, so it's you. What do you want calling me this late? Let me tell you, I'm busy right now. No time to chitchat with you. I have a meeting to attend. Speak up, what is it?"

Hearing this, Thomas was taken aback instead. To his impression, Stephen Burns was just a flirtatious playboy who never cared for family business. Having a meeting now didn't seem right. Getting drunk and chasing girls sounded more like him.

"Sorry to disturb your fun, Stephen, but I really need your help with something serious here."

"What is it? Tell me!"

"Oh, I'm at the food street in Nova City right now. There's a kebab stand here where I met an arrogant lunatic. He beat me up, and none of the men I brought could take him down.

Left with no choice, I dropped your name, but who knew he would spout nonsense, claiming to be your godfather! I figured you should know about this, so I called. What do you say, will you come settle this?"

"What? Where did you say you were?" Stephen Burns' voice sharpened, clearly sho

    Justin and Stephen Burns sat at a small table, the thugs and Thomas having been carried off - not far, just so they didn't obstruct the kebab stand's business.But the disruption had killed business for the day anyway. Still, Justin overheard Stephen Burns mention an interesting detail."Godfather, my father has handed the entire food street project to me. He said I must cooperate with you to transform this into the culinary mecca of Nova City.I've drawn up some plans and was about to discuss them with my company men before this moron called me over. Why don't you take a look first, Godfather, and see what you think of the proposal?"Justin waved it aside without glancing at the project plan. The Burns family was in seafood, but their company's food and beverage sector was formidable too. The young master knew far more than a dilettante spender like Justin did. Getting him to parse those complex proposals would be a waste and an insult.Heh heh, this is best - being an absentee owner

    The other man, despite forcefully withstanding Justin's kick, had half his body numb and dragged his struck leg slightly. His stance made it clear he had stumbled back several steps.With just one exchange, their difference in skill was apparent. Still, this man had some ability to be able to block Justin's strike. Justin had used only half his power, yet this man had withstood it. He was clearly another martial arts expert. In fact, this man was named Liam Harrison, an Aikido inheritor. He ran a martial arts school in Nova State and was a prominent figure, a grandmaster level martial artist.But his cultivation was ultimately lacking compared to Justin's. He only understood physical martial arts and had not cultivated any Force. With or without Force marked a boundary in the martial world.To put it simply, one was just a shield while the other was a warrior with magic damage. They were on completely different levels. To be frank, this man was inferior even to Gregory who had injure

    Justin put down the phone and returned to the table to chat about school with his brothers.Gavin Ferguson didn't believe for a second that this kid could bring down the business empire built up by generations of his family in ten minutes. But his confident words still worried Ferguson somewhat.He called his secretary to check on his company's situation and accounts. Finding nothing amiss, he was certain the boy was bluffing.So he grew even more arrogant. The brat was relying on Robert Burns' influence. Laughably, Robert Burns had even come to warn him. What a coward!Just wait. After dealing with this boy, he would go back and settle scores with Robert Burns, humiliating him thoroughly.And he would deal with his son too for daring to speak to him in that tone. The unfilial brat!But just five minutes later, his phone rang. It was his secretary calling."Mr. Ferguson, this is bad. Our outstanding 10% of shares seem to have been purchased by someone. And some shareholders sold their

    "What an idiot," Tank Turner sighed, shaking his head."You said it. We've met so many rich people, but why do I feel like each one thinks too highly of himself? They just charge further down the path of courting death without realizing it. Do people's brains turn stupid once they get rich?" Maxwell Stone asked in exasperation."I don't know if rich people turn stupid, but Gavin Ferguson is definitely screwed. What do you think - will Justin torture him with the ten great tortures? Or just kill him outright? Could be either." Justin naturally heard the brothers' chatter. Facing the charging Gavin Ferguson, he just gave a cold laugh and casually stuck out a foot.With a "pop", the onrushing Gavin Ferguson was kicked straight in the nose bridge. His spurting nose blood drew a graceful parabola in the air, beautifully illuminated under the lights.Like a fat pig, he was booted back, the kick sending him flying ten meters until he crashed again into his car, knocked out cold.Having deal

    After saying a few more harsh words, Timothy Knight left with his lackeys, an aloof expression on his face.Justin and Bella presented a different scene. Bella's face was filled with worry and a hint of reproach as she frowned and said, "Why did you agree to his dance battle? He's really good and you've never learned street dancing before. There's no way you can beat him.""Is he really that good? I didn't think so. I just find him annoying like a fly buzzing around you. You're my girl now and I don't want to see him harassing you like an irritating insect. This time, I have to make him understand his place. Some people can't get close to you just because they want to, like him. You're off limits," Justin replied. Hearing this, Bella was deeply moved. She enjoyed feeling protected this way. In this moment, she felt that as long as Justin was by her side, even if the sky fell down, she would not be afraid.However, her blissful thoughts of their blossoming romance were short-lived. Be

    "Damn, bro! You using cheats or something? How'd you get so good all of a sudden? With those street dance skills, you've got nothing to fear from Timothy Knight. Just go out there and destroy him," Murray exclaimed, pumping his fist excitedly as if he had personally defeated Timothy himself.Justin merely shook his head at the praise, shrugging off the challenge as a minor issue far beneath his notice.Time flew by, and the day of the festival arrived before they knew it.The process was about the same as always. The principal went up on stage and gave a speech, basically saying the semester was over and encouraging everyone to keep working hard. That took up half an hour, during which the students below listened with utter boredom, nearly falling asleep. It was more effective than a lullaby. But the principal didn't seem to notice, continuing to pontificate pompously in an endless stream of platitudes. Justin was nearly driven mad.At that moment, he and the others were backstage do

    "Hahaha, excellent idea! I'll leave this matter to you then. Find me a couple of capable hands. I must make him suffer this time."After rousing everyone's emotions with his heartfelt speech, Justin began his performance.The backstage lighting technician extinguished all the stage lights, leaving only a single spotlight shining on Justin. Dressed in a white suit, one hand tucked in his pocket and the other shading his eyes under a hat brim, he exuded an indescribable aura of depth and charm, like a dark angel mesmerizing the crowd below with silent intimidation.Gradually, the sounds of support and chatter from the audience faded away as all eyes locked onto Justin, barely daring to breathe.Watching this scene unfold, Timothy felt an ominous premonition rise within him.Instead of lively music, the backdrop was a low, infectious melody. Compared to Timothy's earlier fanfare, the subdued music complemented Justin's nearly perfect transformed physique and features, giving him a captiv

    Though thinking about it, Timothy felt a twinge of envy towards Justin. Just what kind of good karma did this guy accumulate in his past life? To be surrounded by one stunning beauty after another while he, Timothy, had swaggered for so long yet couldn't even get Bella?This was an opportunity. Maybe he could take advantage and win all three girls over. Then he could live a heavenly existence. Hahahaha!So Timothy leapt out dramatically before the crowds and shouted, "Justin, you scumbag! You're the worst, deceiving the feelings of two such gorgeous ladies, and still trying to seduce Bella! Do you think you've been fair to these beauties who trusted you?"Hearing this, black lines fell down Justin's face. Things were chaotic enough without this clown Timothy barging in seeking attention. What a shit-stirrer. Bella was clever enough to see through Timothy's ploy immediately. Of course she would stand up for Justin now."Timothy Knight, I've told you before, we're just ordinary classma

    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.

  • 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
