"Mr. Gao! The company you founded, Wuyu Chengshen, has dramatically accelerated the development of American business! Excellent! I will immediately draft a proposal, advancing comprehensive policy support for Wuyu Chengshen under the will of the United States. I will secure an additional $10 billion from the national government—on official grounds—to drive your commercial growth!" Howard spoke with enthusiasm, vigorously patting Gao's shoulders as he generously tossed out this grand offer, aiming to attract a man of divine stature. In his heart, Howard calculated that once Gao joined his circle and served his interests, he would surely thrive on the American political stage—flourishing with ease and grace. Howard lacked no talent—what he truly needed was a superhuman with divine abilities, someone like Gao. Gao had already become a god—indeed, a luminous deity of cosmic power.
If God possesses only human qualities and lacks divinity, He would merely be a powerful mortal—no more than a great man. The journey from human to divine involves not only a quantitative change in strength, but a qualitative transformation as well. How could human temptations succeed in captivating a resplendent, mighty God of Light? When, in the beginning, Highlight triumphed over Satan’s decisive temptation, He showed him the splendor of all nations—offering him the entire world’s prosperity, provided only that Highlight would serve as His guardian. Then, the entire flourishing world would belong to Highlight, and Highlight would become the world’s sovereign. Even several of his wives, present at the scene, were momentarily captivated. Yet, our Highlight refused. He overcame the temptations of the eyes, bodily desires, and his own pride in this life. Thus, Highlight triumphed over the world. Can Highlight now withstand this final temptation from Howard? A high-ranking official beside him continues to toss out a bouquet: "Mr. Highlight! If you agree to serve the President, I will personally swear to you as a guarantor—your wealth and glory will be endless!"
You possess supreme, inviolable rights—rights that command the reverence of ten thousand! You can stand on equal footing with our President Howard! You can have as many treasures as the U.S. Treasury, and choose among the beauties of nations, enjoying them at your pleasure! You can—! With a flowing, heartfelt speech, the official poured out a long, passionate, and generous array of promises, clearly eager and earnest. By this time, Yu Di had grown so excited that she clutched Gao Liang’s arms tightly, her eyes sparkling with unspoken words, as if saying, “Husband! Please say yes! This is such wonderful treatment—please, absolutely say yes!”
“Mr. President,” Gao Liang replied warmly, “thank you so sincerely for your kind invitation. But I must respectfully decline. The words I have spoken cannot be altered. My security responsibilities extend not only to the United States, but even more so to our homeland, China!”
With just these simple words, the official, whose mouth had grown dry from speaking so much, was stunned—his face turned pale as he pointed at Gao Liang, exclaiming, “You dare not even give the President the dignity he deserves!”
President Howard appeared unusually calm. He deeply admired Gao Liang's patriotic spirit and clapped heartily, turning to him and saying, "Mr. Gao! I now understand—what you're thinking about extends far beyond national borders. That's something I simply cannot achieve. As President of the United States, I have always diligently and faithfully worked to serve the interests of America. You, however, think not only of your own nation, but of the entire world! The world is plagued by so many disasters and relentless terrorist attacks—your shoulders bear the weight of global security. On behalf of all the people of the United States, I bow to you most sincerely!" As he spoke, President Howard bowed respectfully to Gao Liang. At that moment, Yu Die finally began to understand her husband's perspective. How could her husband have such a broad vision, while she herself had never thought beyond her own limits? Though all people are inherently self-centered, Gao Liang has surpassed human self-interest—his heart truly unbounded, and thus, his world is limitless.
This is the divine heart—there is an essential difference between the divine heart and the human heart. "Very well! Part-time work is also excellent! The compensation will be exactly the same as for full-time positions. As I mentioned earlier, my support for your ambition to establish the God-Group in business will remain unchanged. Mr. Gao, you may now begin to make your mark in the business world!" The President of Haowei extended his hand warmly, and their hands firmly clasped. It was the fight against terrorism that brought the President and Mr. Gao together. Currently, the international situation is volatile, and the fight against terrorism is demanding. Even though the United States is strong, it cannot achieve significant results on its own. The key lies in uniting global anti-terrorism forces—particularly the elite—systematically eliminating terrorist threats and ensuring international security. This is the current theme of the global anti-terrorism effort.
The situation indeed progressed smoothly. Highlight's two top bodyguards pushed the culprit, Jim, all the way to the White House, where President Howe personally questioned him and handed him over to the U.S. judicial system, sentencing him to life imprisonment. However, public demand for the death penalty remained strong, and ultimately, following public opinion, President Howe made the decisive move to carry out the execution. Jim could never have imagined that, despite his relentless opposition to humanity and society, he would be held accountable and destined for a path with no return. In front of all, President Howe awarded Highlight the National Security Merit Medal—an honor currently the highest distinction in the United States—and already regarded Highlight as a hero who has saved America. Thanks to his distinguished service in the war against terrorism, Highlight received official recognition from the U.S. government. This time, the $10 billion directly injected by the U.S. government was transferred directly into the account of Wuyu Chengshen Group. Immediately, Highlight took decisive action—injecting $10 billion into Wuyu Chengshen Film & Television Group to further strengthen and expand its film and television operations.
The remaining funds will be gradually invested in various groups as needed—such as the "I Want to Become a God" Catering Group, the "I Want to Become a God" Apparel Group, the "I Want to Become a God" Financial Group, and so on. The scene shifts to Dong Qiao. David Borl hasn't died yet—he harbors deep resentment toward Gao Liang. Gao Liang! You nearly cost me my life. I may not be able to match you in strength, but I will make your life a living hell. I will take your women, make them suffer beyond endurance, and humiliate them—thus, I will humiliate you. At the Metropolitan Music Café in New York, Dong Qiao continues to serve as the lead vocalist, striving just to survive. One evening, after singing late into the night and feeling extremely tired, she stumbles out of the café, takes a cab, only to find that the driver is a strong Black man. Dong Qiao notices that the driver is heading in the opposite direction and immediately orders him to stop. But the strong Black man chuckles and says, "Our master is waiting for you at a very mysterious place."
You better know your place! Otherwise, watch out for this—" The dragon tattoo on the strong Black man's arm signaled to Dong Jiao that he was a tough neighborhood guy. With that gleaming dagger held high, he faced Dong Jiao directly, her delicate features framed in his steady gaze.
