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
At this moment, Ava was overwhelmed with sorrow, but she noticed Justin returning to her side. Her inner turmoil and irritability evaporated in an instant, and her gloomy expression gradually relaxed, returning to her usual sunny demeanor.Shane, brimming with joy, seized the moment to stand and address the crowd."Villagers, I thank you for gracing my banquet today. Thank you for your support and for the esteemed guests who've honored this humble farmer's celebration. I'd like to propose a toast to everyone, let's raise our glasses!"With the host leading the toast, the guests certainly couldn't refuse. Everyone rose, glasses in hand, creating a harmonious atmosphere.As the guests drained their glasses and set them down, a car pulled up outside the courtyard. A business executive stepped out, followed by two men hauling a large, heavy box from the trunk. They placed the box in the center of the yard, and at Justin's command, opened it. Everyone's eyes widened in awe at the sight of
At this gathering, they agreed on the village renovation project. Surprisingly, even Mia contributed 20 million dollars. Together, they accumulated several hundreds of millions, enough to completely revamp the village. They could even convert it into a vacation destination, capitalizing on its serene environment for tourism, creating a steady income for the villagers.However, after some thought, Justin decided against developing tourism. He didn't want outsiders disturbing the tranquility of their village. Clearly, he had to consider other options for the village's future.Upon hearing of the renovation funds, the village head was so thrilled that he nearly stumbled in his haste to thank Justin, "Justin, I can't thank you enough. As village head, I've failed to improve our village and instead burdened everyone with growing hardships. It's my fault. And yet, you've solved such a significant problem. You're going to help us transform our village. This is a dream come true for us, and I
Holy crap! These were divine skills! Now, they could be obtained through the lottery. He immediately drew, hoping to get any one of these amazing abilities.The lottery interface spun for a good while before gradually slowing down. Then, he saw the pointerland on a shield-like icon. Following this, the System's prompt echoed in his ears."Congratulations, you've drawn the Steel Body skill. After learning this, your body will become harder than steel, impervious to any harm. Even bullets and rocket shells won't be able to hurt you."Justin was dumbfounded. He never expected to draw the Steel Body skill. He visualized scenes from TV shows where masters demonstrated the Steel Body technique, invulnerable to all attacks, causing opponents to vomit blood from the recoil. The thought evoked a sense of ecstasy.He almost laughed out loud again, but managed to cover his mouth just in time, preventing him from disturbing the others in the house.The rest of the night, Justin was too excited to
The police brought the bandits back to the station and even took Justin in to give a statement. But after realizing he was the true victim, they simply warned him to be more careful when going out in the future before letting him leave. Coincidentally, Kyle and Emily came to pick him up at that moment, and the three of them got into the car together.Once in the car, Justin tidied up his clothes briefly before taking out a card with an icy expression, speaking like the Grim Reaper himself:"Use this card to help me take care of something.""Mr. Wilson, what is it you would like me to do for you?"Emily had grown increasingly adept in her work and did not hesitate to take the card, turning to ask him directly."I don't care what methods you use. Within three days, I want the Taylor family removed from Nova City. Take this money to manipulate the stock market. I want Taylor Corporation's shares to completely collapse.Also, investigate what projects the Taylor family is currently undert
