2024-10-25 09:07:43Caleb couldn’t help but ask, "Son, what happened to Brooks in the end?"
"Dad, Brooks committed numerous atrocious acts, not just what he did to me all those years ago. His behavior in the company was utterly deplorable, and everyone who worked with him knew how to protect themselves. Under my lead, many people came forward with accusations against him. My lawyers have already started the legal process, and I’m sure you don’t want to hear the gruesome details. But the reality is, Brooks is likely facing either a lifetime in prison or... well, he might just get the death penalty."
Caleb sighed deeply. "Son, you must always walk the straight path. Never stray into crooked or unethical ways."
"Don’t worry, Dad. I know."
"Here, son, have some more soup. Your mother made this especially for you to nourish your body. She knows you’ve been working hard in Washington with Violet, and it’s been exhausting for you. One more bowl,

Liam Morgan and the rest of the team laughed as Willy expressed his concerns.“Why are you all laughing? Isn’t my worry legitimate?” Willy asked, a bit embarrassed.“Don’t worry, boss! The protective sphere is filled with a mixture of helium and hydrogen, which allows the flying machine to slowly descend instead of plummeting to the ground. The only thing we need to worry about is making sure the sphere doesn’t land on a fire, or else it could explode,” Liam Morgan explained.Willy let out a sigh of relief. “That’s better. But have you tested this safety feature?”“Of course, boss! Each of the six flying machines has undergone over 20 tests within the factory, and none have failed.”“Incredible! This is really amazing,” Willy said in awe.“No, boss, it’s you who’s amazing! You’re the one who gave us the anti-gravity magnetic levitation
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 104: Panic
As Willy controlled the flying machine, he played around with the speed, sometimes setting it to 200 kilometers per hour, and at other times, cranking it up to 800 kilometers per hour. He zipped across New York City’s skies, thoroughly enjoying the experience.“This is incredible! It’s like being in a sci-fi movie, flying one of those futuristic planes!”Liam Morgan smiled. “Boss, when do you plan on launching the flying machine on the market?”“In a few days, I think. This kind of technology could even be useful for the military. I have a feeling that certain people might need this. By the way, Liam, how long does it take to manufacture one of these magnetic levitation devices?”“It’s quite fast, boss. The factory mass-produces the basic components for magnetic levitation, and Mia and I conduct experiments with the anti-gravity plates in our lab. Traditional maglev technology uses electromagneti
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 105: Bringing His High-Tech Creation
Willy piloted his flying machine into the courtyard, where the high-ranking official and his entourage were already waiting on an open patch of ground. From afar, the guards spotted the flying object speeding toward them. They immediately stepped in front of the official, ready to whisk him away, but he calmly waved them off."Relax, it's just a kid bringing his fancy high-tech toy," the official said casually. Though he maintained a calm exterior, inside, he was completely blown away. A flying machine like this, something straight out of a sci-fi movie, had been brought into reality. Willy was something else—full of secrets and with immense potential.“Are you sure it’s safe?” the nervous secretary asked."Haha, don't worry, the flying machine's landed. Now take a closer look—who’s sitting in it?"Adjusting his glasses, the secretary squinted. "That's...Willy!"Willy parked the flying machine smoothly on the gro

The leader's office was simple and unadorned—a large desk with a computer and a phone, wooden sofas and chairs, a shelf filled with books and files, and a few paintings on the walls that Willy didn't particularly like."Everyone, leave us. Willy, you stay, and Silas stays too," the leader commanded."Yes, sir!"Even Black Wolf, the leader’s personal bodyguard, exited the office, standing guard outside."Willy, let's discuss how we're going to collaborate," the leader asked eagerly."How about we stick with the same arrangement as before? I’ll provide the core components for the flying vehicles. You can determine their speed, and your team can handle the weaponization. In return, you manufacture 50,000 shells for the flying vehicles each month. My team will provide the design blueprints and specifications for the shells, of course. As for the costs, we can offset them as part of the deal. What do you think?" Willy suggested,

The woman known as "Rose" had just completed her mission in the U.S., where she had eliminated a fugitive. Upon her return to New York, she spotted an old adversary—the top-tier J-country mercenary group known as the Poison Frog Squad. Four of them were present.Alarmed, Rose immediately contacted her superior, Black Wolf. Upon receiving instructions, she cautiously tailed one of the mercenaries, codenamed *Arrow Frog King*, while updating her situation.“Rose, I’ve informed the leader. Stay alert, but most importantly, prioritize your safety. You may be able to handle a one-on-one, but against all four of them? You’ll have no chance. Don’t fall into their trap,” Black Wolf advised.“I know, Black Wolf. I’ll keep you posted on any changes,” Rose whispered, dressed inconspicuously as she followed *Arrow Frog King* through the bustling streets of New York.*Arrow Frog King* was cunning, frequently making

"Not a good idea? Why?""Chief, you mentioned they sent four people. What use is it to send just one person for protection? It'll only alert them and could make the situation worse. Instead, why not assign Giant Mountain to protect you instead?""I'm in the compound! I don't need protection here! But fine, if you think it's a bad idea, what do you suggest? We can't just sit around and do nothing!""Don’t worry about me, Chief. I suspect that the tech and pharmaceutical data they want won’t be easily obtained. If they can’t get what they need, they'll come straight to me. As long as I don’t reveal anything, they won’t harm me.""Willy! You don’t understand these top-tier mercenaries. They have all sorts of ways to break people down—psychological manipulation, torture, drugs. You might reveal everything without even realizing it!""I get it, Chief. Don’t worry. Give me two

Logan drove Willy back to his place, retrieved the lithography machine, and handed it to Willy, who immediately stored it in his system space."Logan, stay home for the next couple of days. I'll contact you once everything is sorted, and then you can resume work.""Yes, young master."After securing the lithography machine, Willy called Eleanor. He instructed her to have all the staff, including the household team, gather in the back for entertainment—either at the KTV or the cinema—and ensure the front yard was empty. Additionally, he ordered her to activate the thermal security net and surveillance system.Sensing that Willy was planning something, Eleanor agreed without hesitation. Willy then asked her about his parents' whereabouts. Eleanor reassured him that they were out shopping and wouldn't be back for dinner. With that, Willy felt at ease.Returning to the company, Willy entered his office, and the system alert immediately chim
Cheated No More: The All-in-One System 110: How Could He Dodge?
Willy was about to make a move when he noticed figures entering from both the north and west sides of the estate simultaneously. The northern side led to the cinema, where everyone was gathered, so Willy was sure that the intruder wouldn’t risk entering the crowd.Since the intruders were avoiding the crowd, Willy decided to casually walk out of the control room and stroll toward the front hall, waiting for the moment they would make their move.As Arrow Frog King and her team infiltrated the estate, they immediately reported back to each other."I’m in from the west. There are a lot of cameras here—make sure you avoid them," one of them whispered."Got it. The north side also has a lot of cameras, but it seems like there are people gathered here. I’ll sneak over to check it out," Blue Poison Dart Frog responded."I’m in from the east. This place is just full of old NVMD architecture—it’s like a fantasy. We

“Mm, I know. Don’t worry, babe! Go take a bath and watch a show. When I come back, everything will be sorted!”“I don’t feel like watching! I need to call my brother and dad, check if there’s anything going on with them!” Violet was still anxious about the situation.“Go ahead! I’ve already arranged the lawyer’s matter!” Willy said, looking at the evidence in his hand. The files contained all the details about Paul’s leaking of company secrets, selling those secrets, and his sale of Violet’s personal information. These emails were initially sent by Paul to the EU through official channels, and the EU responded through private accounts, completing the transaction.Willy contacted Jaxon, and they agreed to meet at the New York Police Department to file a report. This was something that had to be handled by the police.After Black Wolf finished his investigation, he secretly inform

"Help? Who's asking for help?" Willy’s expression grew serious. How could there be help requests sent to his Babe’s internal email?"It’s a lot of foreign emails. I checked the source and addresses, and most of them are from the EU! They’re asking us to build Willy Environmental there again.""This doesn’t feel right, Babe. Did you give anyone your email?""No, I haven’t!""Then how do these people know your email?""This…" Violet hadn’t thought about it until Willy pointed it out. Her email had always been internal, and any external communication used a different email. Why would her company’s work email be receiving messages from these EU people?"Babe! I’ll check it tomorrow! Don’t worry about those emails! Let’s have dinner first. Charles, sit up here and eat! In a few days, you’ll be going to school, and no one will be there to look after you. You’ll ha
473: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It
Half an hour later, the other two children handed in their papers, and their parents received feedback that the questions were difficult, many were beyond their ability, and there were many advanced questions.Hearing this, the other two parents immediately made the connection to what the teacher supervisor had said earlier about a two-year-old getting perfect scores. They couldn’t believe it, so they quickly entered the classroom to confront the principal and the teacher supervisor."Principal, I think there’s an issue with the exam papers. The papers given to our kids and the ones given to that two-year-old child must have been different. That’s why he could do well, while our kids didn’t!""Yes, we demand to see that child’s paper and compare it!""Alright, I can show you," the principal said, looking slightly impatient. "But I hope you can adjust your mindset. Don't compare your kids to a genius. Otherwise, you’ll o
472: A Perfect Score
The principal of New York Experimental Elementary School couldn’t take it any longer and finally spoke up, “Please, parents, maintain silence. The test takers are still answering questions. Please respect the students’ focus and provide a quiet environment. Thank you for your cooperation.”At the sound of the principal’s words, the three parents fell silent, now aware that their chatter might disturb the children.The teacher supervisor escorted Willy and Charles to the office and called in the other two teachers who hadn’t finished for the day.“Riley, Blake, we have just tested a child who finished three subjects in an hour. He’s under three years old, and we might have just found a genius!” the supervisor announced with excitement.“A genius?” Riley and Blake exchanged confused glances before quickly grabbing the papers and starting to grade them.Since the entrance exam papers we

The head teacher and principal knew that someone like Willy, whose every minute was worth millions, couldn’t afford to waste time. So, they quickly arranged for the four children to sit in different corners of the room, with Charles sitting against the wall.The small chair was slightly too big for Charles, and he could barely reach the desk, so he ended up standing to take the exam."We have 45 minutes for each paper. The two children who are taking the first-grade test will have 90 minutes, and the three-year grade children will get 135 minutes. We’ll now start distributing the exam materials," the teacher announced.At New York Experimental Elementary School, no student was allowed to bring their own supplies for the entrance exam. All the materials, such as paper and pens, were provided by the school.Charles eagerly grasped his pen with his small hand and began to write.The principal and teacher supervisor couldn’t help but

"You’re laughing! What did you teach him?" Violet exclaimed, still frustrated."What’s wrong?" Willy asked, playing the innocent one."Did you even ask him?" Violet shot back."Ask him about what?""Ah, never mind then! Ugh, our son is so smart. Let’s just go to bed," Violet said, giving in to the situation.After taking a bath, Willy climbed into bed and spoke calmly, "Babe, tomorrow I’m going to contact a few schools for Charles. It’s crucial to act while the iron is hot!""I don’t care! I’m going to sleep! I have a ton of things to deal with tomorrow! Charles is so smart, I don’t need to worry about him anymore!" Violet replied, her tone frustrated. She had been skeptical about Willy teaching their son, but after their little face-off, she realized that her son, not even three years old, was smarter than she had ever expected. As a graduate of New York University, Violet felt deeply embarras

"Spiritual breakdown? What do you mean by that?" Violet asked, confused."From the moment he got in the car after school, he was exhausted, complaining of a headache, and then he just fell asleep—he’s been asleep ever since. You’ve probably experienced the feeling of a headache after spending a day in a noisy environment, right?" Willy responded calmly."He doesn’t understand anything!" Violet said dismissively."You see, Violet, I told you that you don’t understand the child!" Willy said, his tone starting to rise."I understand!" Violet snapped back."Then do you understand his current abilities, knowledge, and level of understanding?" Willy pressed.The discussion was escalating, and it was starting to sound like an argument.Charles woke up and went downstairs to eat. As the elevator doors opened, he overheard his parents arguing about him, and it made him feel a bit helpless."Dad, Mom, can yo

"Do you think Charles still wants to go tomorrow?" Willy asked, his voice soft with concern."Dad, if you and mom really care about me, please don't make me go to any more kindergartens! I'm not on the same level as those kids! Please, I’ll probably live a few decades less if I keep going!" Charles replied, his voice filled with earnestness."Alright, then. Tonight, I’ll talk to your mom. She had shown you a lot of different kindergartens before, some of them even had pools and various activities. Are you really not going to reconsider?" Willy asked, his tone still gentle."No, I’m not reconsidering. If I want to learn something, you can just sign me up for training classes outside. I learn really fast, Dad!" Charles answered decisively."Well then, I understand. But there’s something I want to talk to you about tonight, something I’ve learned today. Can we talk?" Willy asked, clearly wanting to discuss it further."Su

"Ah, Big Shot, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! But do you think other countries might oppose this plan if we go ahead with it?" Willy asked, his tone still casual."Big Shot! Since when did you start second-guessing everything? Let them oppose it if they want! They can go find their own planets to live on, modify those planets for themselves, and figure out how to deal with asteroid impacts! We don’t need to worry about them!" Willy said with a confident smirk."Well..." Big Shot seemed hesitant, clearly uncomfortable with the boldness of Willy’s statement."You’re this old, and you’re still worried about saving face? This is the world we live in now. If I can make things happen, then I’m in charge, and everyone has to listen to me!" Willy continued, his voice firm. "Big Shot, you see me? If I decided to sell manure and make money, people would be lining up to do it, finding ways to get creative with it. Why? Bec
