After hanging up the phone and confirming the time with Adrian, the two of them needed to head to the International Oil Trading Transfer Center to complete the transaction. Luckily, this was New York, where such places existed. If it had been in Los Angeles, a smaller city, it would have taken much more effort to get things done.
Willy leaned back in his office chair, closed his eyes, and looked at the system panel. There were still many unused features, including lottery, prediction, skills, exchange, curse, technology, and elimination.
He extended his hand and clicked on the prediction button, wondering what would be predicted this time. He remembered the last prediction was about a lizardman next year, and he wondered if this time it would predict something like a birdman!
Ding! System prediction: On December 13th at 2:00 PM, a super earthquake of magnitude 9.4 will occur in the southwest waters of Lizhi. Host, please ens

545:: Don’t Get So Worked Up, Old Man
“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.
544: Cleared
“Exactly. How’s Mom, Dad, Charles, Finn, and Una?”“Wait, you’re not going to ask about Violet?”“She already messaged me. I know her too well. She’s either crying or blaming herself. I know you probably convinced her to keep it together and hold down the house.”“Haha, Violet really is trying hard to be your woman, you know. Don’t be so hard on her. Everyone’s fine. When are you coming home?”“Not for a while. Tonight’s press conference will start everything. After that, I’ll need to relaunch operations worldwide, push favorable policies, get the economic trend reversed. And then I’ve got to fly to A Country to meet the Four Families. Ugh, it’s going to be a grind.”“That’s what happens when you’re the boss of Willy’s Company. Alright, I won’t keep you. Take care of yourself. Mom regrets everything. Violet
543: This Guy’s Got No Brain
“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
542: This Too Shall Pass
“Darling, based on how the economy’s looking right now, how long do you think it’ll take Willy to bring it back to normal if he steps in to save the market?” Paisley asked Owen.“Saving the market isn’t just about stocks or futures,” Owen replied. “We’re talking about real estate prices, the NVMD currency exchange rate, restarting Willy’s Company’s cooperation with countless global corporations, stabilizing prices, even dealing with food supply chains. It’s a massive undertaking. Let’s just follow Willy’s lead and adjust The Brown Family’s strategy accordingly.”“Earlier, you told Violet to ask Willy whether The Brown Family still had a place in this world. Now that he’s back, and we still haven’t gotten a reply… should we ask again?”“Yes, but I’ll ask him myself. In the last two weeks, we’ve lost an insane amount of m
541: The Importance of Willy's Company
“Willy, I can have him apologize publicly if that’s what you want.”“Big Shot, this isn’t just about apologizing to me. He owes an apology to the entire world. I demand that he stand before the media and clear my name—restore the truth. That’s the bare minimum.”“Willy, Dante has already been stripped of his right to succeed me.”“He was stripped because he made a mistake. But making a mistake means you take responsibility, not just punishment. He caused me massive losses—he needs to face the consequences. Otherwise, I won’t let this go.”“So what exactly do you want, Willy?”“I won’t beat around the bush. I want three things. First, Dante must publicly clarify everything and clear my name. Second, he must face serious legal consequences. Of course, if there are vested interests between you and him, I’ll pretend I didn
540: That Sarcastic Tone of Yours
"Willy!! You finally showed up! Where are you right now? I need to see you immediately!""I just got back to New York. Big Shot, you free to meet? Or are you still busy investigating my companies?""Can you not be sarcastic with me too? Just tell me where—should I come to you, or are you coming to HQ?""I’ll come to HQ. I’ll be there in a moment.""Alright. I’ll be waiting in my office."Big Shot could barely contain his emotions. Willy had been missing for more than ten days, and in that time, everything had spiraled. Countries were calling daily, media platforms flooded with criticism of NVMD, and demands for compensation were mounting. Worse, the markets were crashing, the NVMD currency had tanked, and the ripple effects had hit everything from housing to international debt. Large swaths of NVMD assets had already been swallowed up by the Four Great Families.It was a disaster. He could only hope Will
