"Your father worked until late last night?" Willy asked, concerned.

"Yes, it’s all because of this virus. The whole world is basically at a standstill, and our family has started operating at a loss," Violet replied with a sigh.

"I see. But the situation in the country is still manageable, right?" Willy asked, hoping for some optimism.

"I’m not too sure. I only know that my dad mentioned this skin virus might cause a shake-up among the top families in New York and Washington."

"Could it be that serious?"

"I don’t know. But let's not talk about that now. At the end of the month, I have my graduation ceremony. Will you come to the campus to be with me?" Violet asked, trying to change the subject and lighten the mood.

"Of course I’ll come! When the love of my life asks, how can I say no?" Willy joked.

"Stop it! Who said I’d marry you!" Violet blushed, playfully swatting Willy’s arm.

    “What about the Jones Family and the Morgan Family? Any updates?” Willy inquired.“Boss, nothing major for now. But the Morgan Family is in a tough spot too. 80% of their education businesses have been shut down for months, with no revenue. On top of that, several big e-commerce contracts were snatched away by the Chopin Family, so their situation isn’t looking great either,” Logan replied.“Alright, keep an eye on things and let me know if anything else comes up,” Willy said before hanging up.Willy then made his way to the 45th floor to meet with Ava Morgan.“Ava, I’m giving you a budget of 100 billion.

    “So, are you coming or not?” Willy asked Tian again, pressing for an answer.“I can probably make it, maybe around 8 p.m.,” Tian finally replied after some hesitation.“Great, it’s settled then. I’ll send a driver to pick you up,” Willy confirmed, smiling to himself.After closing the chat with Tian, Willy eagerly messaged Violet.“Dinner at my place, hot pot tonight at 8. Your brother’s coming too! How about we take a walk after work?” he suggested.“Alright then,” Violet replied.Once work ended, Willy decided to take Violet shopping. After all, he still had 500 million worth of system experience points left to spend.“Violet, come with me to the New York car dealership,” Willy suggested.“Are you buying a car?” she asked, curious.“I want to check some out. You know, I’ve only got sports cars, which are gr

    “Hehe, silly girl. I just want to be good to you, but since I never really felt the warmth of a family growing up, I don’t know how to love someone properly. So, all I can do is spend money on you…” Willy hadn’t finished speaking before Violet placed her hand over his mouth and then gently kissed him on the cheek.Willy froze on the spot, feeling a wave of heat wash over his body. He stared at Violet, eyes full of affection.Violet herself was startled by her sudden action, and embarrassed, she ran off, leaving only a brief sentence behind.“I’ll wait for you in the car!”“Hehe, silly girl!”“Mr. Morgan, here’s the contract, the license plate numbers, and everything else. Please take a look,” Michael Martin interrupted, handing Willy the paperwork.“Okay, 1.9 billion in total?”“Yes, Mr. Robinson says the usual—20% off!”“Alright!

I’m too pumped!”“Same here!”“By the way, Willy, our class president contacted me this morning. There’s a one-year college reunion next Sunday at 6 p.m. Can you make it back to LA?” Tyler Foster asked.“A reunion now? Is there no skin infection disease in Los Angeles?” Willy asked, surprised.“LA’s got it under control. Only a few cases, so it hasn’t been affected much.”“Oh, that’s good then.”“Can you make it, Willy?”“Not sure yet! I can’t confirm now. Are you guys going?”“Of course!

    At the hospital, in the intensive care unit, Penelope had regained her color and was now receiving IV fluids. Caleb stood beside her, looking at his beloved in silence, making a firm decision in his heart.Meanwhile, back in the Diamond Business Tower in New York, Willy was busy handling a variety of business matters when Mia Morgan called him."Boss! I have something to request!""What is it, Mia Morgan?""Boss, Willy Manufacturing now needs office space. Could I arrange for the team to move into your business tower?""Of course! That’s my oversight! Currently, floors 20 through 39 are vacant in the Diamond Business Tower. Would those 20 floors work for you?""Boss, we don’t need that much space. Just floors 30 through 39 will be more than enough. Initially, our team in New York won’t be that large. Once we launch our magnetic levitation vehicles and break into the global market, we’ll need more people. Then we’ll fully utilize those 10 flo

    "We’ve acquired 47% of XH Construction, 49% of XH Agriculture, and 44% of XH Livestock," Ava reported."Continue tomorrow.""Boss, since we haven't fully completed the acquisitions yet, the shares are still scattered across different company accounts. Once we finish tomorrow, we'll consolidate everything and transfer them to your name.""That works. I’ll be expecting good news tomorrow," Willy replied, already devising a plan in his mind.Willy knew that Washington’s Four Great Families had made their fortunes through online finance, investments, and e-commerce. With the ongoing economic crisis, their businesses were shrinking dramatically, with many losing their foundational financial resources. This was the perfect opportunity for Willy to break into Washington, and especially after The Chopin Family had the audacity to target Violet, his woman. Willy’s personality didn’t allow for slights, and he was determined to systematically dismantle

    While Willy was eating dinner, his phone buzzed with a message from Brandon, who informed him that the family debts had been fully repaid and expressed his gratitude for Willy’s help. Brandon also asked when he should head to New York to assist Willy with his work."Brandon, take a few more days to care for your parents. We’ve got the class reunion next Sunday, so come after that.""Got it, Willy. I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for my family.""Don’t mention it.

    The next day, Willy woke up late. He didn’t know why, but lately, he had been feeling particularly sleepy, and it seemed like he had even grown a little taller. After admiring the upgraded system, he explored the new “System Space,” which was essentially a blank void where he could store items, and then rushed off to work.When he arrived at the office, Ava had already led the team to finalize the full acquisition of Washington’s Garcia Family assets."Boss, we’ve now acquired 57% of XH Construction, 54% of XH Agriculture, and 54% of XH Livestock. Should we continue?" Ava reported."How much of the funding is left?" Willy asked."After the acquisitions, we still have 76 billion left," Ava replied."Keep going then. Use the remaining funds. But I’m curious—why are these stocks still dropping?" Willy wondered, puzzled. His team had poured over 200 billion into the acquisitions, yet the stock prices continued to decline."Boss, it’s because of

    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

    "So, Big Shot, what we can do right now is ensure we’re doing well, and let the others wait. And Big Shot, don’t even try to tell me you didn’t know—there was a so-called population reduction plan in the works before! If I hadn’t discovered Will Planet and managed to complete the planetary migration initiative, I think some of your big plans would have already been in progress, right?" Willy said, his voice calm but piercing."How do you know about that?" Big Shot asked, surprised by Willy's knowledge."Just a guess! There have been lots of posts and reports about it online. Every time they appeared, they were quickly deleted. I’m pretty sure if no such plans had been made, those posts wouldn’t have been created, and there wouldn’t be people quickly deleting them. So, this stuff is definitely real—it can’t be fabricated!""Sigh," Big Shot muttered. He realized he couldn’t hide anything fr

    "Charles, when did you learn all this?" Willy asked, clearly surprised by his son’s knowledge."Quite a long time ago, I think! I don’t really remember! But now, if I learn more, it should be word problems. I’m really interested in that! Will the teachers teach us word problems today?""Uh... Charles, I’m sorry, but the teachers can’t teach that right now. The other kids here haven’t learned these numbers yet, so they can’t start with word problems. How about you spend some time with the teacher later to go over the numbers and reinforce what you already know?""Well, I guess I’ll accept that," Charles replied with a playful grin.At lunchtime, because of Charles’ presence, Spike added several extra dishes to the already rich menu. Charles ate a small portion, remembering what his father had taught him: to eat balanced meals to ensure proper nutrition. He knew that eating only what he liked could lead

    The next morning, Willy and Violet set off with Charles, heading to the Grok University Kindergarten. The kindergarten principal had already received word from the president of Grok University that the largest sponsor of the school would be bringing his child to try out the kindergarten for a week. This news made him both nervous and excited, so he immediately arranged for Charles to be placed in the best class.The top-tier Bentley slowly pulled up to the kindergarten’s gates. Willy got out first and then took Charles out of the car."Hello, hello! You must be Mr. Morgan! Oh my goodness, your little one is just adorable!" the principal exclaimed."Hello, yes, I am," Willy responded with a smile."Mr. Morgan, welcome! I’m th

    In the days that followed, Willy ignored all the external requests for help and focused solely on managing his business and family matters. If Big Shot truly couldn’t handle things, he would come to Willy for help, and Willy hadn’t forgotten about the arrogance and unreasonable behavior from Y Country. He was always ready to take action against them when the time came.Although he had earlier contacted the merfolk to have sea monsters attack the EU's coastal cities, causing some damage, that was hardly anything serious. It wasn’t even a warning, really. Willy wasn’t in a rush; time was on his side. However, he did need to hurry up with sorting out Charles' kindergarten situation.Coincidentally, Neil from New York University and Cecilia from Grok University reached out to Willy. Both of them informed him that their respective top-tier facilities had been completed and were already running smoothly. They invited Mr. Morgan to visit and suggested
