“Dante, listen up. This whole mess started because you had someone tail Willy’s office. You kept digging for dirt, harassing him at every turn. Then when the tiniest issue popped up, you blew it out of proportion, turning it into public scandal. That one move tanked Willy’s Company’s stock, triggered a chain reaction, and cost countless everyday people their NVMD savings! Then you went a step further—your people detained Willy for a whole day until late at night, keeping him from managing his company, which led to a second crash in stock value!“And after all that, you insisted on launching an investigation. I told you, repeatedly, that Willy is one of our strategic partners, deeply tied to multiple government collaborations. By investigating him, you were also, indirectly, trying to investigate us. And what did you find? Nothing! No embezzlement, no tax fraud. Instead, you dug up evidence that he’s been funding orph

“Heh, you’re overthinking it,” Caleb said, trying to soothe the mood. “Sure, this whole mess started with you and his mother, but your intentions were good. You just wanted what was best for Willy. That kid isn’t unreasonable. Didn’t you hear Big Shot’s broadcast? He said it himself—it was the deputy who got suspicious of Willy’s wealth and started tailing him. So really, you just triggered the situation early. The good news is, Willy didn’t lose any confidential files or patents. That alone is a win. Let’s give it a few days and see if the economy bounces back after Willy’s Company reopens. Property prices, land value, exchange rates—if they all stabilize, then we’ll know. Trust in Willy, and stop beating yourself up.”“Yeah, I got it, Dad,” Violet muttered.“Mom, Grandpa’s right,” Charles chimed in. “You’ve been overthinking everything.

“I’m heating your food! You haven’t eaten at home in so long… Have you had dinner?”“Don’t you miss me?”“I do… but I’m scared…”“Scared?”“That you don’t want me anymore…”“What are you talking about? How could I not want you?” Willy frowned slightly. What the hell was wrong with this girl? Just because he’d been cold for a few days, she was having a breakdown?Violet looked at Willy’s face. He was still as handsome as ever, but thinner than before, with a sharper edge to his features. There was something unfamiliar in his expression, even his eyes looked different somehow—colder, almost as if they had changed color. She thought she was seeing things and shook her head, blinking hard before looking at him again.“Babe, what’s wrong?” Willy stepped closer and gently touch

“Come on in, have a seat. Is there something urgent?” Willy said as he welcomed Owen in, pouring him a cup of tea.“Son-in-law,” Owen began, “while you were away and Willy’s Company shut down, every business connected to it worldwide took a hit. The Brown Family was no exception. I came today because this incident made us and families like the Robinsons realize something: we might be considered prominent families in our local circles, but in the global economy, we’re insignificant. When Willy’s Company fell into crisis, we were powerless. We couldn’t help—and barely protected ourselves. It made us question: in the current era, do families like ours even have a place?”“Dad, are you asking because you genuinely want to shut down the Brown Fami

Flames erupted across Willy’s body, instantly igniting and incinerating the vines that had bound him. Freed from the entanglement, he launched a fiery counterattack, hurling one flame-forged arrow after another at the green-robed man. One didn’t work? Then two. Two weren’t enough? Then unleash a barrage!Willy manipulated a storm of fire arrows, shooting from all directions, surrounding his opponent like a net of flames.But just as the arrows closed in—no more than a meter away—the green-robed man’s body suddenly radiated a blinding light. The luminous burst neutralized every single arrow in an instant.Willy narrowed his eyes. His elemental powers had no effect. It was time for physical combat.Activating Warrior Mode, he gripped his Precision Light Saber and charged straight toward his opponent....Time blurred. Willy lost track of how long the fight dragged on or how many blows he had taken. Finally,
