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

    After a relentless ten minutes, the exhausted guards finally stopped. But to everyone's surprise, Justin looked unaffected, still as composed as before."What the fuck, how can he take such a beating? Is he made of iron and feels no pain?" someone exclaimed. Hearing this, the others whipped around and gaped in shock at Justin's undamaged state.Justin stretched leisurely and removed his jacket. "Are you done? It's my turn now. A storm is coming," he said coldly.No one knew why, but upon seeing Justin's expression, an ominous feeling arose in everyone's hearts — even the Taylor father and son. It felt as though something bad was about to happen."Go! Now! Don't think, just attack! Cripple this brat! If anything happens, I'll take the fall. It has nothing to do with you. Just take him down for me!" Michael Taylor was on the brink, his desperation akin to a cornered beast. He was hollering like a madman, which drew a shake of the head from those around him. His impetuousness was a clear

    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

"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!

    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

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.

    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.

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.

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."
