2024-08-25 00:32:39“Right this way, sir,” the Gucci sales associate said, leading Willy Morgan to the men’s section after noticing the Ferrari key in his hand. The associate assumed Willy might be a lesser-known celebrity and quickly guided him through the store for a shopping spree.
Outside, Mr. Banana and Mr. Apple, the livestreamers, waited patiently with their phones pointed at the Gucci store entrance.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat was buzzing with speculation:
“Maybe he really is the car owner after all. He’s been inside for a while, probably shopping! This is Gucci, one of the top six luxury brands! Who could afford that without serious cash?”
“I’m not convinced. Some people just like to window-shop luxury stores even if they’re broke.”
“Are you talking about yourself?”
“Mind your own business!”
“It’s simple, just wait until he comes out. Mr. Apple, keep the livestream going and go inside to ask him. Mr. Banana, keep following him.”
“This feels like a detective game, but isn’t this a bit unethical?”
“Don’t you want to know? A guy dressed in rags driving a million-dollar car?”
“I’m curious, but still…”
After about twenty minutes, Willy Morgan walked out of the Gucci store, now dressed in brand-new Gucci clothes, looking completely transformed. His appearance was striking, catching the eyes of several passing women.
“It’s true—clothes make the man! If I were wearing that, I’d look better than him!” said someone in the chat, clearly envious.
“Mr. Apple, he’s coming out! Go ask him!”
Willy noticed Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana outside the store, getting the distinct feeling that he was being followed. He quickly turned and left, prompting Mr. Apple to slip into the store.
“Hello, sir. May I help you? And your phone?” The Gucci sales associate who had served Willy earlier was immediately on guard.
“Uh, we’re doing a show, and that person was one of our platform’s featured celebrities. Can you tell us how much he spent here?”
“That customer bought around a dozen outfits and accessories, totaling $685,000! He’s a big spender! Do you have more celebrities like him? We’d love to have them shop here too! And…”
Before the associate could finish, Mr. Apple turned and left. The livestream chat had already exploded with comments clearing up Willy’s situation.
“See? The guy’s loaded! He just dropped $700,000 on clothes like it was nothing! That’s enough to buy a house!”
“Man, the gap between people is insane. I’m only making $4,000 a month!”
“You’re doing fine at $4,000 a month! I’m only pulling in $2,800.”
“Mr. Apple! Where did the rich guy go? Keep following him!” urged the chat. Under pressure, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana continued to secretly tail Willy Morgan.
Willy spent some time buying daily essentials and skincare products, items he was quite familiar with. Back when he was trying to keep Olivia happy, he’d done a lot of research on high-end brands—not on the ingredients, but on the prices. Olivia would often talk about how certain classmates had bought expensive La Mer or Helena Rubinstein products. Willy, recalling those times, bought everything he had learned about, not caring if it was meant for men or women. If women could use it, so could he.
“Sir, this La Mer 21-day renewal serum and these other items total $24,211.”
“No problem.”
“Sir, this Helena Rubinstein set comes to $9,728.”
“I’ll pay with LINE Pay.”
“Sir, the La Prairie serums and rejuvenation creams together total $49,885.”
“Just scan me.”
After a whirlwind of transactions, Willy was exhausted. He checked his phone—only twenty minutes had passed! He suddenly gained a new level of respect for those who could shop all day.
“Hello, sir. Are you interested in checking out some real estate? We have the best properties in Los Angeles—Silver Lake Enclave!” A real estate agent, noticing Willy dressed in Gucci and carrying multiple high-end skincare products, decided to pitch to him.
“Absolutely! I’ve been meaning to look for a new place,” Willy said. Ever since he’d won the lottery, he’d been thinking about upgrading his living situation. Whether or not he stayed in Los Angeles long-term, a new house was definitely in order.
“Please have a seat, sir. I’m an agent with Silver Lake Enclave. You can call me Mr. Zheng. Let me give you a brief overview of our properties.”
“Sure, go ahead. What are the prices and sizes?”
“Silver Lake Enclave is located on Financial Street in the economic district of Los Angeles. It’s surrounded by three top hospitals and two national-level key schools, along with three…”
“Stop! I don’t care about all that. I just want to know when I can move in if I buy it now. Do you have any models or sample rooms I can see?”
“Yes, of course! Silver Lake Enclave is fully furnished with top-of-the-line interiors. Our refrigerators are German-made Gaggenau, our washing machines are…”
“You’re off-topic again! I don’t need to know the brand of every appliance. If I don’t like something, I can replace it. What are the prices, sizes, and available floors?”
“Ah! My apologies, sir! Silver Lake Enclave features large, single-floor units with one unit per floor. The tallest building has 28 floors, meaning only 28 owners per building. The best floors are between the 21st and 23rd floors, with each floor offering 1,108 square meters. Because we’re holding an event at the Universal Shopping Center, you can purchase the best floors today at a promotional price of $120,000 per square meter.”
“So, each unit costs around $13-14 million?”
“Yes, sir! And if you buy today, we’ll cover your property fees for two years and provide additional services!”
“What other floors are available?”
“Sir, since today is the first day of our event, the units in the building, including the king unit at Silver Lake Enclave, haven’t been sold yet.”
“Perfect. My lucky number is 23. I’ll take the 23rd floor. Go ahead and prepare the contract. Let’s get this done, and I’d like to move in as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir! The 23rd floor is the best choice! If you’re concerned about the price, we have lower floors available too… Wait, what? Prepare the contract?” Mr. Zheng was stunned. Was buying a house really this straightforward?
“Yes, get on with it. I’m short on time. Oh, and if there’s a garage, make sure it’s close to my unit.”
“Of course, sir! I’ll take care of it immediately!” Mr. Zheng couldn’t believe his luck. He had been selling houses in Los Angeles for five or six years and had never met a client like Willy—a buyer who dropped over $10 million on a home as if it were nothing!
Meanwhile, Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana noticed that Willy hadn’t left the real estate booth for a while, suspecting he might be looking at property.

The livestream chat buzzed with speculation and curiosity as Willy Morgan continued to make substantial purchases.“Streamers, no doubt about it—this guy’s the real deal. Dropping tens of thousands on clothes and skincare products like it’s nothing. It makes perfect sense that he’s checking out the best property in Los Angeles, Silver Lake Enclave.”“Clearly, you don’t know the prices at Silver Lake Enclave. The cheapest units there start at over $9,000 per square meter, and every apartment is over 1,000 square meters. That means even the lowest-priced units cost nearly $10 million! Los Angeles isn’t the capital, and it’s not some major financial hub. It’s just a second-tier city!”“I don’t buy it. He’s probably just tired and decided to rest in the sales office.”Mr. Apple and Mr. Banana were also engrossed in the discussion, eagerly participating in the livestream chat as they speculated about Willy’s next move.Meanwhile, Willy Morgan appeared to be resting with his eyes closed in

The reason was simple—Predictions could bring the most direct financial benefits!"System initializing the Prediction button. Please wait... Prediction is about to refresh.""Ding! The system predicts that on April 4, 2034, the old residential areas of Tianwen Community on Cultural Road, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Streets in the Los Angeles Education District will undergo demolition! Host, seize this opportunity!"As soon as Willy heard the prediction, he quickly noted down the details on his phone and looked up the area on Google Maps. He discovered that the community was a large, nearly 40-year-old area that had long been deserted.Willy didn’t know much about real estate and land acquisitions, but he knew someone who did—his employees. He remember

Over the weekend, Willy Morgan drove back to his old, run-down apartment, packed his belongings, and officially moved out. Standing in his now-empty room, Willy felt a wave of nostalgia. This place held so many memories—from moving out of the orphanage to working through his college years. Despite its shabby state, it had been home. Unable to completely let go, Willy spent $100,000 to buy the small unit so he could return and reminisce whenever he wanted.On Monday at noon, before Willy had a chance to visit Orion Universal Group, he received a call from Heather Collins."Mr. Morgan, our team went to Tianwen Community as planned. The residents were surprisingly eager to sell. All 117 building owners have agreed to sell, and they were so concerned we might not have enough funds that they offered to drop the price by another $50 per square meter. The final total comes to around $650 million, and we’ve arranged for a joint property certificate. The certificate lists your name and include

"Close your eyes, focus deeply on your thoughts, and then visualize the current stock market trends in your mind. You'll see the stocks that will hit the limit-up tomorrow!" the system instructed.Willy Morgan followed the instructions, and sure enough, six stock codes appeared in his mind. He quickly noted them down on his phone, planning to compare them the next day.After chatting with the system for a while, Willy drove home. It was already late, and the stock market had closed, so he decided to visit the securities company the next day to open an account.Early the next morning, Willy went to the largest securities company in the country, opened an account, and deposited all the remaining money from his lottery winnings into it. He checked the six stocks he had predicted the day before, and to his delight, three of them had hit their limit-up at the opening, while the other three were steadily rising. This greatly boosted Willy's confidence in the system.However, since the predi

Willy Morgan looked at the group of people before him. Each of them exuded a vigorous energy. The leader, Eleanor Rodriguez, was a woman in her forties, dressed in a sharp professional outfit with a neatly tied ponytail. Her subtle makeup complemented her face, striking a balance between professionalism and youthful appearance. The three men with her, clearly bodyguards, had muscular physiques that strained against their jackets. There was a burly man with a large head and thick neck, obviously the chef, and another man in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a box that hinted at his role as a private doctor. Beside Eleanor, there was a demure young woman, presumably the personal assistant, and a middle-aged man with a square face who looked like the chauffeur.“Mr. Morgan, as you can see, we have three personal bodyguards, this is the chef, this is the private doctor, and this is the driver. This lady is the personal assistant, and I am the housekeeper. Our annual salary is 2 mi

The next morning, Willy Morgan woke up to the tempting aroma of breakfast. It was the first time someone had made breakfast for him.“Master Morgan, you’re awake! Hurry and eat! Zoe made an English breakfast today. You should try it!” Eleanor Rodriguez said as she brought the dishes over.“Have you all eaten?” Willy Morgan glanced at the time; it was almost 9 o’clock. The stock market would open in half an hour.“We’ve already eaten. Each of us has a fixed early wake-up time and duty schedule. Do you have any plans for today?”“Not really. By the way, Eleanor, I have a buddy working as a sales representative at a Mercedes dealership. If you’re going to buy cars today, go through him. It’ll help him hit his sales targets!”“Got it, Master Morgan.”“Here’s his number. I’ll send him a WhatsApp message to let him know you’re co

You’ve been with me since the morning? You’ve been nearby the whole time?”“Yes, Master Morgan!”“Have you had lunch yet? I’m sure you haven’t. Let’s go out for a meal!”“Master Morgan, Zoe prepared a French meal at home for you!”“Oh right, I have a chef now!”“Master Morgan, let me drive you home.

Of course, if there were any demolition or system upgrades, the amount could vary significantly!“Eleanor, can I get back to you later?

Just let me know before the 8th.”Meanwhile, Heather Collins also received an invitation to the auction.“Ms. Collins, the wealthy individuals in Los Angeles are all attending this auction, and we’ve been allocated two spots by Orion Universal Group.

"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
462: Once the Money Is in Place, Everything Is Negotiable
The recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius had been different from previous eruptions, which had been intermittent and not particularly violent. This time, it was as if the magma had been building up for years and suddenly erupted with full force, sending plumes of lava into the sky above Europe. Within seconds, the southern coastline of Italy was covered in volcanic ash. Soon after, countless rocks and ash rained down, and within an hour, several nearby provinces were enveloped in black smoke. The ash, carried by the monsoon winds, spread to countries like Switzerland and Hungary.When Willy woke up, the news of the volcanic eruption was dominating global headlines, and his personal email had been bombarded with urgent requests for help from EU countries.Willy glanced at the messages briefly, ignoring all the ones related to the volcanic eruption, and instead focused on the important work-related emails, responding to them as needed.Ding!

These few I looked at cost about twenty-something million a year.""To us, twenty million is nothing—just a meal or a drink. But for regular people, that’s a year’s salary. They’re spending everything they make, not eating or drinking, just to send their kid to kindergarten. Doesn’t that seem expensive to you?""So, darling, are you saying that kindergarten is becoming more commercialized now? Forget about how well they actually educate the kids—just focus on flashy facilities and complex curricula to confuse parents into signing up?""Heh, pretty much! Look at these brochures you’re holding. All they do is praise how amazing, powerful, and impressive their kindergarten is. But do any of them mention that the goal of the kindergarten is to educate the children? To me,

It would make him feel more at ease, especially after Y Country's Big Shot had sent assassins after him. After that, Willy realized how important safety truly was. Even though he had Wione and the others by his side, with a family as large as his—his parents, three children, his Babe, his sister, his uncle’s family, and sometimes even his secretary—it was a lot to keep track of. He wondered what Black Wolf thought about all this.But then he remembered: Black Wolf had left Big Shot’s side for the sake of living a simpler life. So, how could he expect so

Willy stood in the plaintiff's section, watching with a smile as the EU representatives argued vehemently."Order! Since you’ve all agreed to the compensation, the next matter will be for the defendants to handle their own claims!" the judge declared, signaling for Willy to leave the courtroom.There was no need for further debate. Willy’s evidence was solid, and the entire world was watching, so everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.Willy glanced over at the EU representatives, a deep smile on his face. The compensation was only the first step for him. Heh, Europe was so close to his allies, the merfolk. If, in the near future, there were reports of sea monsters attacking coastal cities in the EU, it wouldn’t be his problem.Willy left the Netherlands, prepared a sufficient amount of food for the merfolk, and then piloted his aircraft to the merfolk's territory.After a brief negotiation with the merfolk, he handed over
