Eric and Sylvia never argued about money.

Initially, Sylvia covered all household expenses when they first got married, as outlined in their marriage agreement. Spending Sylvia's money was never an issue. Later, when Eric began earning, he didn't rely heavily on Sylvia's funds, either.

After Ronan and Bianca departed, they never returned.

Eric and Sylvia dined at the Williams residence and went shopping with Elly and Andy. They planned to return to Nutikiville the next day for the festival and needed to purchase more items.

-

The following morning, due to the large number of people and gifts, they arranged for a business car.

Chatting and laughing along the way, they quickly arrived in Nutikiville.

After two years of development, the environment in Nutikiville had significantly improved. The once foul-smelling ditch now had clear water, and there were noticeably more lush trees along the roadside.

Knowing Eric and the others were arriving, Melinda had started preparing food ear

    Blake sighed and said, "We're farmers. What do we know about taking exams? Moreover, a few days ago, they issued a notice that rapeseed stalks, corn stalks, wheat straws, etc., cannot be burned in the fields. They need to be crushed and scattered into the fields!"This is simply ridiculous. Even a farmer like me knows that planting the same crop in the same field for three years will lead to a high risk of pests and a significant decrease in yield. Not burning the straw will only result in more pests.""What's more infuriating is that we could use manure for planting crops in the past. Now, they are banning us from using manure, saying that it is toxic and not conducive to the growth of crops! It's simply absurd!"Andy found it unnerving. "Are they trying to stop farmers from farming? We've been doing it this way for thousands of years. Where's the problem?"He couldn't understand. In his own hometown, even his elderly parents would use manure to fertilize the vegetables they plant

    "What took you so long?" Sylvia asked.Eric grinned and replied, "Well, you won't believe what we saw…"Just as he was about to continue, a car with a blaring siren rushed toward Nutimoor."Let's eat while we talk," he suggested.As they sat down, Hank arrived on a motorcycle.Blake poured a glass of wine, and Melinda brought a chair for Hank."It's impossible to work anymore," Hank declared as he settled down. "After Garrison was taken away, no one dares to farm now."Fear was spreading among the villagers. Despite being law-abiding farmers, Garrison was taken away for absurd reasons.Blake raised his wine glass and clinked it with Hank. Taking a sip, he asked, "Hank, who came up with these ridiculous ideas? Will we still be able to farm in the future?""Who knows?" Hank replied. "In any case, life will definitely be harder in the future. In the past, we had cattle and horses at home, and we could throw straw into the pen for the animals to trample on. After fermenting, we co

    Madison Ruske's eyes sparkled with joy.Eric continued. "The main reason I came here is that when I returned to my hometown for the festival yesterday, I witnessed some things that I can't quite understand.""Oh?" Madison took a sip of coffee. "What is it?"Eric narrated the events.After listening, Madison sighed. "So it's about this matter. I didn't expect you to be concerned about it either, Mr. Johnson. To be honest, we have no say in this matter. As the department in charge, we are also curious."Some things are clearly unreasonable, but the higher-ups insist on implementing them. I have collaborated with people from other cities to report this issue, but there hasn't been a response so far. Based on my past experience, it's likely to be ignored."He then presented some documents. "You can take a look at this. For issues like the ban on burning straw, it is mainly for environmental protection. Burning so much straw would definitely pollute the air!"Eric chuckled after glan

    The man smiled and replied, "Actually, it's quite simple. I've checked at the entrance, and your company's parking lot has never charged parking fees due to incomplete facilities."After our system is online, we'll collect roughly around 20% of the overall parking fees. The remaining 80% will go into your company's account! This way, the parking problem is solved, and your company also gains corresponding income—"Before he could finish, Sylvia quickly interrupted, "Wait! Are you saying that you will constantly collect 20% of the parking fees?" The man nodded.Sylvia chuckled. "I understand now. The system is free, but you use our existing parking lot to make money for yourselves, right?" She found it quite amusing. How could this company come up with such a method?The man smiled. "Ms. Williams, we're helping your company solve your parking problem!" Sylvia shook her head. "What problem? The inconvenience for my employees' vehicles to enter and exit is a minor issue. I don't

    "No way?" Andy widened his eyes in shock.He frequently visited Elly's salon and was well aware of the parking fees at the entrance."Isn't it five dollars per hour, with a daily cap of 20? How could it accumulate to more than 90 dollars? Did you forget to pay the parking fee before?"Elly shook her head. "That's impossible. They issue receipts, and the parking fee is calculated automatically once the receipt is scanned."Let's see how it goes tomorrow. If it still costs that much, I won't park there anymore. I can buy four or five spare ribs and have several hearty meals for 90 dollars!"Eric and Sylvia did not pay much attention to such a problem.-The next morning, as soon as Eric arrived at the company, he received a call from Madison.After breakfast, Eric hurried to the relevant department.Madison brewed some coffee and handed over freshly printed documents to him. "I've gathered data from other cities over the past nine years, and you know what? It's something I've ne

    Eric was reviewing relevant documents when his phone suddenly rang.Answering the call, he said, "Hello, who's this?""Is this Mr. Johnson? I'm Sergeant Wilson."Hearing the voice, Eric recognized him. After all, he had dealt with him several times before."Yes, it's me," Eric replied. "Is there anything I can help you with?"Robert said, "Something happened to Mr. Ruske from the Agriculture Department. We found that you had contact with Mr. Ruske in the mornings over the past two days."Eric was taken aback. "Where's Mr. Ruske now?" he asked."Alright, I'll be there right away."After hanging up, Eric quickly changed clothes. "Vee, something happened to Mr. Ruske. I need to head there."Sylvia was also taken aback. Eric had visited Madison twice, and now something had happened to him. She wondered whether it was a coincidence or something more."Stay safe," Sylvia said.She did not have to go with Eric. After all, she had considerable expertise in martial arts, so she could

    After speaking, Eric approached the body.Uncovering the white cloth and inspecting Madison's body, he nodded, turned to Robert, and stated, "The blood pressure from the heart is high, especially in the head area where Mr. Ruske fell. The possibility of blood splattering all over the ground is extremely high. But look at the blood on the ground. I suspect he was already dead before jumping.""What?!" Robert was taken aback. "Are you saying that Mr. Ruske was murdered?""Give me a pair of gloves," Eric requested.Putting on the gloves, he wiped a bit of blood and smelled it.Everyone was stunned by his action, not knowing what he was doing."He wasn't poisoned to death," Eric said.As a holistic physician, he was sensitive to the smell of toxins. Besides, only a handful of poisons were lethal in small doses, not to mention that their odors were usually noticeable.While speaking, he removed the upper clothing of the body. Seeing the bruise on the chest near the heart, Eric under

    Hearing about potential troubles, Robert was stunned.Still, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Troubles? So what? We still need to handle the case we are assigned, and we have to catch the perpetrator. If we retreat just because it's troublesome and stop investigating, what's the point of wearing this uniform? Whoever commits a crime must face severe punishment! We can't let them go free!"Eric nodded slightly. Having a strong sense of justice was a good thing."Tomorrow, I'll bring in two people to cooperate with your work. Investigate it thoroughly, and once you identify the culprit, don't hesitate to make the arrest," he said."Okay!" Robert nodded in agreement.From the information Eric received, he knew that this case was far from simple. It was impossible for an ordinary person to directly hit someone's heart and cause immediate cardiac arrest. Only a skilled martial artist could achieve such precision.During the night, Eric contacted two grandmasters from the C

    In terms of innate talent, Eric was unparalleled, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts. With a single punch, he sent the 'God' flying."Good!" Stealthbane shouted with excitement.The ultimate enemy had finally been defeated, bringing peace to the world. Eric sighed in relief.However, in the next moment, the 'God' stood up again. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "You have successfully enraged me!"Everyone braced for a potential massacre, but instead, the enemy turned and fled.Could Eric let him escape?"Chase him!" Stealthbane commanded.Allowing this foe to escape would spell endless trouble.A group of people pursued the enemy, who soon reappeared clad in iron armor."Not seen this before, have you?" The 'God' seemed to have recovered somewhat. "Did you think I only research viruses? Wrong! I control global resources and global wealth!"This is our newly developed Doomforge Exosuit which amplifies a person's battle prowess tenfol

    The sturdy floor lay in utter disarray.In desperation, Ruth shouted, "Eric, don't give him any more chances! Finish him off swiftly, or we'll face endless trouble!"Eric was well aware of this logic. As he fought, he said, "He's incredibly strong. Taking him down quickly isn't possible! We must fight to the death!"Eric had never feared battle. Besides, this might very well be his final fight.Their fists clashed fiercely.The 'God' also noticed that Eric was growing more formidable as the battle progressed."How do you have so much strength? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to control the world? We could have anything we desire!"All the world's wealth, women, and resources would be ours to enjoy. Why won't you listen to reason?" he roared.Eric's momentum didn't falter. "I don't share your grand ambitions. I just want a simple life with a job that pays 1,000 dollars a month and a warm home with my wife and kids. But you, you've disturbed my peace!"The 'God' was fu

    The 'God' grew more courageous as the battle raged on, causing Stealthbane to worry incessantly.In another high-stakes clash, Eric and his opponent both retreated. Eric sensed his opponent's growing strength, finding it rather peculiar.The 'God' clenched his fist. "I must thank you! My techniques were slightly incomplete, but I've managed to fill the gaps through this battle!"Eric marveled at his opponent's genius. To mend something incomplete was indeed a rare talent.Despite Eric training with the complete manual, he could only match the 'God' blow for blow. This person was terrifying!The opponent's confidence soared. Although Eric had trained with the full manual, the 'God' felt his innate talent far surpassed Eric's. If he could match Eric with an incomplete manual, now that he had perfected it, wouldn't he be unbeatable?"I thought you had potential and considered inviting you to share this world with me," the 'God' said, his tone turning icy. "But now, I see it's unnece

    Stealthbane even felt that Eric might not be a match for the "God."The power was overwhelming.The terrifying aura was enough to crush everything. To an ordinary person, this was a real deity—the strength possessed had already transcended human limits.Eric made his move with a burst of speed. The clash of their fists created a thunderous explosion, and the sound was so intense that Stealthbane felt his eardrums might shatter.This was a battle of the highest caliber, one that even a legend like Stealthbane could not hope to join.Seeing the two evenly matched, Stealthbane sighed in relief. At least there was a chance that the strongest combatants were neutralizing each other. The outcome was still uncertain.Eric shook his aching fist, his expression grave. The opponent's strength was as he had anticipated. If the ultimate boss of the Luminous did not possess such combat power, it would be absurd.Clearly, this "God" had also gauged Eric's strength.He extended a hand toward

    Stealthbane knew that the figure facing them must be the ultimate leader of the Luminous.Suddenly, he no longer wanted to die. If he could hold on just a little longer, it would all be over."Mr. Johnson, these people don't seem ordinary. Could that leader be the ultimate figure of the Luminous? Are we about to complete the game?" he whispered.To him, this mission to the Ark felt like a game: defeat the final boss, and victory is achieved."If I'm not mistaken, it should be. This person gives me... a sense of danger," Eric said.Upon hearing this, Stealthbane felt reassured.Just a sense? That meant the problem wasn't too grave!The leader on the opposite side turned to Eric. "I didn't expect you to make it this far. I underestimated your strength, believing my Ark was impregnable, that no enemy could breach it. But why are you so persistent? Why such determination?"He suddenly screamed in a fit of hysteria, "I have so many people! Such a grand scheme! It has all succeeded!

    Brent shouted desperately, "After you get on your knees, they'll kill you all, and we won't survive either! Kill them! Kill them all!"He understood the situation with stark clarity. Kneeling meant certain death. If they had to die anyway, fighting back would be their only chance of survival.Eric sighed. "Mr. Rogers, in the end, it was we who implicated you. But this place must be eradicated, and the Luminous must be destroyed as well! Everyone, attack!"As the battle commenced, the masked man immediately struck Brent with a punch.Eric charged in. "Die!"He knew that Brent was unlikely to survive. This punch was his way of avenging Brent.The masked man spun around, trying to block Eric's punch. But the speed of the blow was too much—the gust of wind from the punch arrived before the fist did.It was an instant kill.The masked man had no time to react before Eric's punch collided with his chest. The terrifying force shattered the mask on the man's face, revealing an unfamili

    Stealthbane was blinded by rage. He was killing anyone in sight, his fury unrelenting. They had ventured deep into enemy territory, where every encounter seemed to be with an adversary.Eric and his team from the Combat Department showed no mercy.Yet even Stealthbane's resolve was wearing thin."I can't kill them all! It feels like every master in the world is concentrated here!" he shouted in frustration.He felt the number of people he had brought was insufficient. If he had brought a few thousand more, he might have been able to overrun the place.Stealthbane was overwhelmed by the sheer horror of their situation. Fortunately, they had arrived. If anyone else had come, they would have met their end here.The numbers of the masters seemed endless."Damn it!" Stealthbane cursed angrily. "There are too many of them, and they're all exceptionally powerful. What kind of game is this?"He was tempted to retreat, but where could he go?Eric sent an enemy flying, pushing forward

    "I was opposed to coming in from the start, but as you all know, the Rogers family is extremely complex. If we hadn't entered, I might have ended up dead. At least if the virus isn't a threat, that's something!" Brent poured himself a cup of coffee and continued. "These people are ruthless! They want to kill everyone outside the Ark and establish a new order, managed by a select few. It's insane!"You don't need to tell me—I know you're here to kill them."He then pulled a small token from his pocket. "This is our Rogers family's privilege here. It allows us to move freely between different levels. With this, you can go anywhere!"Stealthbane grabbed it eagerly. "Why didn't you mention this earlier? Things will go much smoother with this!"Brent sighed. "Once you've handled everything, could you take me out with you? I really don't want to stay in this dreadful place any longer.""Sure!" Eric nodded. "We'll definitely call you when we leave. For now, we're heading out."Brent e

    Everything was ready, but they couldn't just walk in.Ruth instructed the Combat Department to conduct a three-day intensive training for everyone, focusing on coordinated combat.-After three days, the forces led by Stealthbane moved out, first dismantling the outer defenses of the Ark. This was their specialty!A large group of several hundred arrived in front of the Ark's entrance. At first glance, it resembled a mountain.Jack scratched his head and said, "Is this the gate? I don't see any door."The Holy Templar's people arrived as well. St. Pius said, "Everyone, don't rush. Wait for two minutes. Once the gate opens, we need to get in quickly. I have other plans inside, but once we're in, it's going to be a life-or-death battle! No one should show any mercy!"Stealthbane flexed his fists and replied, "Do I look like a good guy to you? Just watch me deal with them!"No sooner had he spoken than there was a tremendous roar. The ground shook, and the door of the Ark swung
