"Don’t talk crap! Your losses are the people's money! You’re nothing but a corrupt leech!"
"Good," Willy sneered. "I hope when the truth comes out, you still have the guts to talk to me like this."
He pulled out his phone and hit play. A recording began to echo in the room: Dante’s voice, spitting accusations and slander.
"You hear that? That’s your voice. You smeared me with your own mouth, and now I’ve got the proof. Big Shot heard it too. He’s my witness."
Willy turned to Big Shot, his tone now icy and slow. "You wanted me to help him? To keep NVMD standing at the top of the world? Forget it. He was already plotting against me before he even met me. That tells me all I need to know about him—he doesn’t understand me, doesn’t know my temperament, and definitely doesn

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
539: Water Ability
Inside a run-down apartment in Los Angeles—"Haha, that was beautifully executed. You made all the transfers as I instructed, right? None of it can be traced back to me?""Relax, Willy. All the capital was moved under the names of people from our Four Great Families. No one will trace it back to you. Once NVMD’s crisis passes, you’ll make a killing. You’ll get your original funds back, and the profits on this round of investments could multiply several times—maybe even tenfold. And the best part? Other than us four, no one on Earth will know the truth: the same person who triggered a global short on NVMD and crashed the world economy is the same guy who got targeted and nearly destroyed by NVMD’s own investigators. That’s some next-level double-edged strategy, man."Willy smirked. "Had no choice, David. Just look at how much Willy’s company lost this time. It’s basically half the company’s total assets.
538: Don’t Disgust Me
"Violet! Violet!" Penelope burst through the door, visibly shaken. "Did you hear the news? I just heard from outside that Willy's been detained… and they’ve officially charged him!""That’s impossible!" Violet shot up. "Mom, stop listening to that garbage! It’s all rumors. We know the kind of person Willy is. He wouldn’t do anything wrong. We have to trust him!""Violet’s right!" Caleb chimed in from the sofa, scowling. "You’re old enough to think for yourself. If you’d done that before, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess right now!""Caleb, I was just worried—too worried! I acted out of concern!""And what did that get us? Chaos. You couldn’t even trust Willy? Your own son? You don’t know him by now?""I don’t know him!" Penelope sobbed. "Willy was away from me for over twenty years. We’ve only had these past three together. I don’t know how he devel
