"Hahaha! What enmity lies between us that I should oppose you so? I merely accepted a contract on your head. Kneel now, let me remove that head for my client, and our families can remain at peace. I swear no harm will come to your women if I can deliver your head. That is all I want." "Hmm, let me guess - the Greens or the Lees put a price on my head, or perhaps both families combined their resources. Am I close?""The Greens? The Lees? Don't insult me. Even all their wealth could not purchase my skills. But you need not dig further. I value my reputation in this business. We deal in secrets and trust. Now, any final words for your women? If not, I must act.""Excellent. It has been too long since I've met a worthy foe. Unless I misjudge, you are a cultivator too? Let us test our skills then. My master taught me techniques I've waited long to try. Today seems an opportune time to practice on you.""Foolish arrogance! I've butchered countless cultivators in the Hell's Arena, even for
"Hey, I said you didn't have to kneel if you didn't want to. But did you have to go straight to knives and guns? I hate when people threaten my loved ones, and I really hate having guns pointed at my head. You just ticked both those boxes, so sorry, but now you get a one-way ticket to hell."With a casual wave, an invisible force ripped the Desert Eagle from the stunned brute's hand. The man gaped in bewilderment, never having witnessed something so freakish and bizarre. He had seen many powerful fighters, but never someone so freakishly monstrous. His only thought now was to flee. This target was too freaky to handle. Though his line of work prized success, living to fight another day was the greatest fortune. Even if he could somehow kill Justin in a death match, he'd be dead himself - unable to enjoy the spoils."Run? Can you escape?" Justin scoffed coldly before flashing forward and punching the thug back. The brute crashed into some chemical containers, causing their contents to
Now that the motives behind these shadowy forces were clear, Justin was ready to make moves against them unreservedly. These consortiums owned listed companies, and more than just one each. Fine. If such small losses were already too much for you to bear, then let's make your losses even bigger.Justin notified Sky Finance Corporation about this. Upon receiving the news, Cameron West and his team were extremely excited. They had already made a lot of money last time, and had been waiting eagerly for Justin's reply, hoping for another chance to showcase their skills. But they had waited so long without any news.Now the news was finally here. How could they not be delighted? However, when they heard that their targets were several major foreign consortiums, they grew hesitant. After all, the scale this time was truly massive. Even though they were capable of dealing with a single group, facing multiple powerful enemies simultaneously was beyond their courage, especially when these enem
Justin waved his hand grandly at the girls behind him, "Alright, go ahead and pick whatever you like without worry. We have plenty of time today, take it slow."The girls rolled their eyes at him, then followed the staff inside to start selecting. Each girl was assigned a staff member, who would explain the design concept and details of each gown they passed, including the meaning embodied in them. The girls listened with great interest - this wedding was a momentous occasion in life, so they had to be attentive and careful at every step.&nbs
Of course, these matters were handled by Mr. Martin, who spared no effort to curry favor with Justin. And Justin did like the scenery on the little island. So when he saw the photos, he agreed to the purchase without hesitation. With Mr. Martin personally leading people to handle it, progress went smoothly. The island was acquired with barely any effort. Now with the island, it naturally needed a name. Since it was bought for their wedding, it would bear witness to the fruits of their love. So Justin named it Love Island right there - a rather cheesy name, but full of meaning for them. When Justin proposed this, the girls readily agreed.The venue was settled. As for the wedding preparations, Mr. Martin had arran
Justin watched sullenly from the side. He was the man of the house, yet now he felt superfluous. No no, he had to regain his presence, or these fellows would become more and more brazen."Wives, hurry and take out all the wine from the cellar. Today I'm going to drink with my brothers till we drop. Oh right, make us some dishes too. I'm not stopping until I'm drunk!"As he spoke, he secretly signaled the girls. Of course they understood his intent, but they wouldn't indulge him in front of Adam and the others like they did outside. "Hmph! Shameless! If you want to drink, go take it yourself. And you want us to prepare dishes for you too? You must be dreaming!"Mia retorted without hesitation. Justin was instantly embarrassed. The three shameless friends snickered at the side, their gazes full of mockery."Come with me!"He had no choice but to pull the girls aside and whisper pleadingly:"Can't you give me some face in front of my friends? If I lose face before them, who knows what
Since Adam and the others rarely came to Metropolis Central, Justin wanted to show them around properly. At this time, Adrian Webb happened to rush over. Seeing the four guys, he decided to bring them out for fun.What? Why would Adrian Webb show up here? Think about it, with his personality, being cooped up at home for a month would make him mildew. He had sneaked out today after bribing his dad, and with Lucas Webb whispering into his ear, Kennedy wouldn't punish him."Hahaha, never thought I'd become friends with Adrian Webb one day. If word of this got out, I could brag about it for life!""Hahaha, the brothers flatter me. I'm friends with Justin, and you all are Justin's brothers, so naturally we're friends too. We're kindred spirits - we should hang out more in the future. Come, brothers, I'll bring you to experience something novel." With a wave of his hand, Adrian brought the four to a racecourse in the suburbs. All kinds of peerless horses could be found here, don't worry,
"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
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. "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
