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
"That Christopher Miller is no good, just like his idiot son. He had a treasure right under his nose but didn't recognize its worth, discarding it like rubbish. Fortunately, I noticed it and helped out my brother Nicholas, so what's so odd about him following me? If anything, you and your boy are dumber than Christopher. I heard you two families are quite close - birds of a feather flock together, I suppose. You and your pathetic son are perfect examples."Mr. Martin made no attempt to conceal his derision. His scathing words left the Taylor father and son duo speechless, uncertain of how to respond. Just then, Nicholas stepped forward, intending to confront Spencer. But before he could reach Justin, the latter blocked his path."Uncle Nicholas, let me handle this. Since this man came looking for trouble with me, I'll deal with him myself. Can't have him looking down on me. Go rest for now and watch my methods." Nicholas hesitated, not expecting this reaction from Justin. But he rele
