"Nothing's really funny, but fools are funny to me. Weren't you mighty? Want to bet? Believe it or not, one phone call from me, and you'll be completely out of a job. No one in Nova City will dare hire you again." "Haha!" Hearing this, Samuel's eyes almost laughed out of their sockets. He said arrogantly, "Boy, are you dreaming? You can fight a little and have a few dozen men, but do you really think you can reign supreme in Nova City? Don't delude yourself. One phone call will finish me? Don't brag and bite your tongue off. Fine, I'll take that bet. Go ahead and call. Let's see how you get rid of me. All talk and no action, you're really stupid!" Samuel simply didn't believe this brat could ruin him with one phone call. Now he was fearless for no reason. Only those who knew Justin's true identity would know this guy was utterly finished, walking the path of courting death without turning back.Justin called Emily and asked her to reply within three minutes. Hearing his request, Emi
Samuel became angrier as he spoke and ruthlessly beat up his own sister. Finally, Kimberly's face swelled up. Fortunately, Raymond and Jacob came over in time to pull him away, or the woman would have been beaten to death today. Watching this, the villagers were delighted. If the occasion were right, they would have clapped and cheered. It was rare to see the woman suffer such a loss. Just then, Justin's mother Danielle came back. She had just returned from town and heard about what had happened at home, overjoyed to know her son was back but worried upon hearing her sister-in-law had come to make trouble. She feared the old tigress would cause more trouble. After all, it would be her husband's birthday tomorrow. If anything happened, it would spoil the mood for days. Arriving home to see so many people gathered, she knew something big had happened. She hastily pushed through the crowd to try mediating but wasn't sure what the situation was. Whose car was that? Whose big coffin w
The $1 million was soon distributed. All the neighbors who received money lavishly praised Justin, saying he was promising, hadn't forgotten his fellow villagers, and was a good child. In short, they said all good things, delighting Shane and Danielle. Shane even felt he had gained a lot of face. After so many years, he finally had a day to raise his eyebrows and show off. Haha, it felt so good.After the money was distributed, the neighbors cleaned up and left. At home, Danielle still didn't understand the situation, but Shane remained solemn with an icy expression, a rare serious look for him. When he was serious, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.Although Shane usually seemed like a kind father, when he was solemn, something big must have happened. He told Justin's mother to take care of Kyle and the other two, then called Justin into the inner room and closed the door. Justin was confused by his father's actions. What was going on? Wasn't everything fin
The next day was Shane's big birthday celebration. Early in the morning, Justin woke up and busily began preparations, personally cooking a bowl of longevity noodles and delivering it to his hungover father.Truthfully, although he had also drunk a lot of alcohol last night, Justin did not feel any headache this morning. On the contrary, he felt a warmth flowing through his body, as if the benefits of practicing kung fu had not only made him a better fighter, but also improved his body's ability to metabolize alcohol.Birthday banquets were simple affairs in the countryside, involving little more than slaughtering pigs and sheep for a table. Justin had already hired the best chefs from the city, who arrived at the crack of dawn to set up stoves and begin cooking busily.After briefly greeting the chefs, Justin told them the dishes he wanted prepared and conveyed some ideas. He also had someone urgently deliver a nine-tier cake from the city. Though just a cake, it had cost over $10,00
The business moguls laughed and talked as they arrived at Justin's home. Once inside, they behaved as if they were in their own homes, entirely unfazed by the simplicity of the small house compared to what they were accustomed to.After all, they knew Justin now controlled a fortune beyond all of their wealth combined. This was his ancestral home, so naturally it could not be judged by ordinary standards, especially since a dazzling dragon had emerged from here.These bosses, whose mere whims could cause earthquakes in Nova City, had all shown up together to celebrate Shane's birthday. Shane was rather overwhelmed to be so favored. As a humble villager, he had never witnessed such a grand occasion and was dumbfounded, at a complete loss initially. Finally, under Justin's arrangement, the bosses politely entered the house."Mr. Shane, we have heard Mr. Wilson speak of his kind father often, one who lived in poverty yet selflessly supported his education and nurtured his success. Frankl
This scene also left Jacob's family dumbfounded. Although Raymond had achieved some success, he was still just a minor employee who normally would not even have a chance to meet such prominent figures, let alone stand beside Justin hosting them as he did now.This was beyond Raymond's wildest dreams. It further convinced him that he must not embarrass Justin. He busied himself greeting the tycoons, giving Justin a chance to catch his breath. Frankly, Justin found interacting with these men exhausting. If he could, he wished to hurry up and send them away.But Raymond thought otherwise. Not only was he helping Justin, he was seizing an opportunity for himself. As a mere employee, who didn't aspire for more? Having such a rare chance to meet living legends, how could he not elbow in? Maybe one of the big shots would notice him. Even if he could not equal Justin's brilliance, it would still be better than his current position.But gradually Raymond grew disappointed as the bosses merely
Just then, a commotion arose from the crowd. Looking back, they saw a large group marching over angrily. To the unaware, they resembled gangsters headed for a brawl.But the villagers recognized them, their faces paling at the sight. Justin also knew this gang of dozens were local hooligans who idled away their days causing trouble - stealing, harassing village girls, and more.At every wedding or funeral banquet, they would arrive to freeload and make a ruckus. One had to treat them like lords or risk finding urine and feces at one's doorstep the next morning if they left unhappy.These scoundrels were the bane of the village but no one could deal with them. Fighting them was useless, and they'd be released after a brief arrest, only to retaliate worse.So villagers avoided them when possible. But with Justin's lavish birthday celebration for his father today, the news had inevitably reached them. Now they were here to make trouble."Wow, Wow,nice spread for Shane's birthday. We brot
"Hmph, with your low IQs, you dared make trouble on my turf? You should have pissed in a puddle and seen your worth first before expecting my money. Keep dreaming. Use that $10,000 for medical bills, or maybe you can't even make it to the hospital now."Having said this, Justin called the police and reported the incident, emphasizing his identity and proposed treatment of these men.The police swiftly arrived and took the thugs away. They were rather pitiful, randomly beaten by their own and now off to jail, though they had only their stupidity to blame. Justin excelled at dealing with such fools.Seeing the village scourge removed, with Justin's personal assurance they would not return for a long time, the villagers rejoiced and thanked Justin for eliminating the poison. The bosses also nodded approvingly. Justin was truly formidable, full of ingenious schemes and means. He had never intended to pay them, only dangling an empty carrot to incite their greed and make them turn on each
