Roselin turned her head, arms folded across her chest, a sneer etched on her face. "That was just a fluke, Grandpa. It was just a coincidence that he managed to please Master Anderson before. But his real ability? Huh, absolutely zero."Yorgi nodded slowly. Roselin's answer didn't entirely convince him, but it was enough to slightly soothe the simmering frustration in his chest.Roselin's eyes landed on Amelia, who was sitting beside Jonathan. The girl was laughing softly, looking comfortable. Jonathan even calmly reached for a napkin and casually wiped the corner of Amelia's mouth; the movement looked so natural and gentle. As if the two were already accustomed to such closeness.For some reason, Roselin immediately felt a surge of heat rise in her chest. Her eyes narrowed. "Since when are they that close?" she muttered angrily.She still didn't understand why a man like Jonathan could make a girl as graceful as Amelia feel so at ease. Her heart couldn't accept it. Even though she he

"Jonathan!"The voice, full of rage, exploded from Yorgi's mouth. He stepped quickly, grabbing Jonathan's arm as he tried to leave. "Just who do you think you are, huh? Just because you have a little skill and managed to save Old Master Caresta, you think you're so great now?"Yorgi's eyes blazed with the fire of wounded pride. Behind him, Roselin stood with a contemptuous expression, arms folded across her chest."At best, you were probably just given a few coins as a thank you," Yorgi sneered. "You think with that you can challenge the Buana Family? You're not even worthy of being called our opponent!"Jonathan merely looked at Yorgi emotionlessly, his gaze flat yet piercing. Before he could respond, Roselin's voice quickly followed. "You heard him, didn't you?" she said sharply. "Next time you show up in the same place as me, I won't let you off as easily as today."Roselin's face hinted at a determination to humiliate Jonathan given a second chance. However, instead of being intim

Amelia immediately shook her head quickly and raised her hands. "Everything here must be so expensive, I don't want it. I just want to look.""If your brother says it's okay, why be hesitant? Consider it a gift from me!""No, Brother. I still have the necklace from Grandma."Jonathan could only smile, impressed by Amelia's steadfastness. "Alright. But if you change your mind later, just say the word."After circling part of the exhibition room, Jonathan and Amelia paused in front of a white vase with a finely painted blue dragon. But before they could examine it further, a soft voice called out."Amelia!"Amelia turned quickly, her face immediately lighting up. "Melani!"From the opposite direction, Melani arrived with James and a few other friends. Amelia immediately hugged her best friend. Even though they had just gone through a heavy ordeal at the Holiday Club, a reunion like this felt soothing."You could come too?" Amelia asked, her eyes sparkling.Melani nodded, smiling happily

After the minor incident at the hotel entrance, Jonathan's name was finally found on the VIP guest list. Even one of the security supervisors who arrived later bowed respectfully and ushered them in without another word. The guards who had looked down on them earlier could only bow their heads in silence, ashamed of their previous attitude.Upon arriving in the main hall, Jonathan turned and asked Amelia, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest?"Amelia quickly shook her head, her eyes shining. "Not at all, Brother. Actually, I really want to look around this place. I never even imagined I could come to a place this luxurious."Jonathan gently patted the top of his beloved sister's head and smiled. "Good. You should get used to it. Sooner or later, environments like this will be where you stand."Amelia didn't understand why Jonathan said that. "What do you mean, Brother?"But Jonathan just winked slowly, offering no answer. He stepped forward first, letting the question hang in the air.

"Excuse me, Grandpa, could I take a look at that Blue and White bowl for a moment?"The old man's steps halted. He turned, his wrinkled eyes looking at Jonathan with curiosity and caution. He weighed the bowl in his hands for a moment, then slowly stepped closer. "Do you want to buy it, Son?" he asked, his voice heavy yet sincere. "If so, I must tell you first, the price is non-negotiable."Jonathan smiled warmly. "I just want to take a closer look. If it's as good as I think it is."Jonathan examined it more closely, and with his appraisal skills, he immediately said, "I'll pay 6 Million for it. How about that?"The old man's eyes widened. He took half a step back, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "S-six million?" he stammered. "Son, I'm just a villager. Just because I'm old and don't know the market price, don't try to trick me like this.""No, Grandpa!" Jonathan smiled broa

Jonathan didn't laugh. He just shrugged and said calmly, "The antique world is harsh. Some are willing to deceive, others are willing to be deceived. But the biggest loser is the one who doesn't learn from their own foolishness."The shop owner felt deeply bitter, remembering that his family had been in the antique business for generations, yet in his own generation, he had been completely swindled. The more he thought about it, the more miserable he felt.Meanwhile, the old man had already boarded a bus, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "City life is full of deceit. I want to go back to the village. There, the worst I'll get cheated on is the price of chilies."On the other side.Amelia glanced back and felt a bit sorry for the shop owner. "I feel a little sorry for him, Bro. He looks like he's just been slapped in the face by reality."But Jonathan only gave a faint smile, his expression calm. "That's not pity, Mel. That's called Karma. He's been selling fake items to peop

Andrey and Meishin looked at each other awkwardly, then Andrey looked at his grandfather and said, “Grandpa, can we postpone these formalities for now? I feel uncomfortable toward my father-in-law.”Grandpa Han Li nodded and allowed Sengkuni to step back.“Alright, let’s all sit down. Sengkuni, today your status is my grandson’s father-in-law. So let’s discuss my grandson’s wedding banquet.”Sengkuni replied, “Yes, Leader!”Next, the two families began discussing the wedding arrangements and drafting many concepts.After that, during this period, Andrey also redeemed a lot of money for conditioning prescriptions available in the system mall. Although they were expensive, Andrey managed to improve his father’s health two weeks earlier than expected.Afterward, Han Long also received explanations from his father and his son about Andrey’s wedding.He felt happy!Then he joined in planning the upcoming wedding.Han Long felt joyful because after he recovered, he would be able to see his

7 a.m., Beijing International Airport.A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and beach-style open clothing, accompanied by several bodyguards in black suits, stepped out of a private plane that had flown in from a distant country.Removing his sunglasses, the middle-aged man looked into the distance, where a young man and woman were standing there to welcome him.“Mei-mei, Rey. Why are you here? I remember I never told you I would be coming to this country.”Abdurahman asked with a puzzled expression as he took off his sunglasses.He looked at the two people in front of him with curious eyes.Andrey looked at his father-in-law and immediately hugged him. “Dad, welcome back. I’ve already prepared a business empire for you. Our family will become wealthy with our own business. Besides that, Ying Ying is still waiting for her grandpa to give her candy.”Instead of answering, Andrey gave him a hug and changed the topic.After releasing the hug, Abdurahman became even more confused.“Hey, R

Think about it—his grandfather offered an astronomical salary, increasing it by 100 million yuan in a single breath.All of it was on the basis of employing him as King. And the King was the one who controlled policies.Just imagine: if the organization owed money to the King, wouldn’t the organization have to do its very best to repay that debt?If it were someone else, he definitely wouldn’t worry.But after accepting the salary offer and working as King of this organization, he would also have to think about how the organization could repay its debt to him.What if expenses were greater than income? Wouldn’t that be foolish?Yet this foolish method would bind him to the throne until death.As King, balancing the organization’s cash flow was one of his duties. If the cash flow couldn’t be balanced, then he would have to make up for the deficit elsewhere.In this case, if the organization couldn’t afford to pay him, he might consider dissolving it. But would it be that simple? This w

“Damn! Am I actually trapped in an international terrorist organization?”Andrey muttered in disbelief.Unfortunately, he forgot to lower his voice.So Grandpa Han Li smacked him on the head.Smack!“What do you mean terrorist organization? We are an international information trading organization, okay? In other terms, we are an International Information Guild that issues missions and sells intelligence through the underworld. We are definitely not terrorists who recklessly disrupt international society!”Grandpa Han Li explained based on the ideology he believed in. He planned to brainwash Andrey and prepare his grandson to become the heir to the Kurawa organization’s throne.But on the other hand, Andrey still complained inwardly and did not fully believe his grandfather’s words.For safety’s sake, he still wanted to ask, “Grandpa, does the Kurawa organization possess state-level secrets? And are you capable of threatening the existence of a country?”Grandpa Han Li smiled upon hear

“If it weren’t for the medical knowledge infused into my brain by the system being so complete, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know how to capture this Gu Worm. Channel Qi energy to the fingertips, then extract the worm from the heart.”At this moment, Andrey’s concentration was completely focused and never wavered.Silently, he dissected his father’s rib cage and saw the beating heart there, with a large worm wrapped around it like a lover.Recalling in his memory the method of extracting the worm, Andrey focused on retrieving it.Strangely, the worm was easily taken out because it felt it had no escape route left inside the body.Although the worm sensed danger, the last place it could inhabit was this heart.As for the rest, it truly had nowhere to hide.This was the advantage of the 99 golden needles locking the body!The Gu Worm was easily removed and placed into a special container filled with nutrient-rich food for Gu Worms. Happily, the Gu Worm dropped inside and began to eat.“Ph

After receiving 1 billion yuan from his grandfather, Han Li,Andrey immediately returned to prepare for his father’s operation.He also told his grandfather that he would live outside with his wife. During that period, Andrey had already ordered the system to convert the money into Qi energy.“System, convert the money in my bank account into Qi energy!”[Ding! Conversion in progress…][Ding!
