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
"How dare you! Are you blind? Do you know who this gentleman is? He is the current Chairman of Sunrise Corporation, Mr. Wilson! How could you block his way? Are you trying to get fired?"Just as Justin was growing anxious, a familiar voice called out from behind. He turned to see none other than Gabriel Smith approaching."Haha, Mr. Smith! What brings you here? Are you also attending the event?""Please, enough with the Mr. Smith - I'm just a retired old man now. Unless you find me too old, feel free to call me brother." Gabriel spoke with warm familiarity, exchanging casual words with Justin. The stunned doorman now realized this unassuming young man was the formidable Mr. Wilson himself, renowned for his ruthlessness. He had blocked the chairman's path - would he find an excuse to fire him over this? The doorman had just gotten this job less than a month ago. He couldn't afford to lose it already."Mr. Wilson, please accept my sincerest apologies. I did not recognize you earlier an
But Austin was a successful man with formidable self-control. Losing his temper now would make him a laughing stock with so many watching. So he forced himself to endure and replied with a frozen smile."Mr. Wilson is a leading figure in Nova City, the great Mr. Wilson himself. I shall be tactful of course, and not take offense at his jest. I must apologize for forgetting to invite you, Mr. Wilson, in my busy schedule. Please accept this drink as my sincerest regrets." He lifted a glass ceremoniously in offer.Justin looked at him coldly, then put on a smile to gracefully accept the drink. The guests nodded in relief, thinking the matter resolved. After all, saving face was important at such events.But what Justin did next shocked them all. He raised his own glass high and poured the wine onto the floor.The wine splashed loudly, and he feigned clumsy shock, apologizing profusely, "Oh dear, look at me making a mess as usual. Can't even hold a glass properly! So sorry to dirty your v
