Diego felt disheartened. He had assumed he had a chance, but Sylvia was now married to a man with a face full of scars and seemed drawn to his outstanding qualities.

"Oh, by the way…" Diego recalled something and asked Sylvia, "Didn't your husband come tonight?"

Sylvia smiled. "Of course he did. He dropped me off downstairs and went to find a place to eat by himself."

The room fell silent.

Diego sighed. "Your husband is really trusting!"

He believed that he wouldn't let Sylvia attend such a small gathering alone if he were in Eric's shoes. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see through their ulterior motives.

"Otherwise?" Sylvia said, "Even if we're spouses, we still have our own circles, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Sylvia is right," Kyle said. "Everyone has their own circles. We can't just confine our partners to our own circle."

Meanwhile, downstairs, Eric ordered a simple meal and finished his dinner. Despite having a fortune now, his lifestyle demands weren't high, alig

    Eric knew that Seth and Jayden lived nearby because there was an elementary school in the vicinity, making it convenient for Jayden to attend.However, the two were grappling with several challenges. Seth, being illiterate, couldn't assist Jayden with his homework. Consequently, Jayden had to stay at the school dorms on weekdays, leaving Seth alone at home.Jayden had been vocal about the subpar quality of the school cafeteria food, prompting Seth to take him out for dinner on Wednesdays.During their meal, Jayden remarked, "They serve vegetables and no meat. Some classmates have their parents pick them up, but I don't have parents. Grandpa is getting old. It's inconvenient for his knees to come daily, so he brings me to eat once a week."Hearing that, Eric felt a pang of sadness. Jayden had never seen his mother, and his father had passed away early. Felicia, who worked in King City, used to support the family's expenses. Despite Felicia's age making her unsuitable for work, Orion

    The man was sent flying several meters back by Eric's force.Anxiously, Seth stepped forward and implored, "Mr. Johnson, let's talk civilly! Please refrain from resorting to violence!"Aware of Eric's formidable nature, Seth understood he was not to be taken lightly. Despite Leopard's assistance, Seth knew these allies hailed from the underworld, a place known for its less-than-savory characters.In Seth's perception, those associated with the underworld rarely engaged in virtuous deeds and tended to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. However, violence didn't always make sense.Eric chuckled and replied, "Mr. Gurth, don't worry. This person needs a lesson. Take Jayden aside, or go home if necessary."Seth promptly moved Jayden away, finally uncovering the details of the incident.While playing outside, Jayden had been struck by a cyclist at an excessive speed, leading to a fall that accidentally damaged a BMW parked nearby. The BMW owner seized Jayden without utter

    The man stood in shock as the brand-new BMW transformed into a pile of scrap in less than five minutes."What, does having money make you arrogant?! Do you think you can do whatever you want?!" he snarled.Sylvia smiled, retorting, "Sorry, but having money does allow you to do whatever you want, including being arrogant."Weren't you quite arrogant when I wasn't here? Now, show me how arrogant you can be!"The man became frightened. He could sense that Sylvia wasn't someone to mess with, especially after Matthew's punch had nearly wrecked the car's suspension.Believing Sylvia was connected to the underworld, he dared not provoke her. He was ready to take the money and leave. However, when he tried to depart..."Hold on!" Sylvia blocked his path. "We haven't settled our accounts yet!"The man swallowed hard and stammered, "What… What do you mean?"Sylvia sneered. "You slapped the child, leaving marks on his face and blood at the corner of his mouth."The man's heart sank. He p

    Vince and Matthew handled the rest, while Sylvia and Eric stayed out of it.Eric drove their car over, and everyone could see that the BMW was indeed much inferior to the car Sylvia was sitting in.After bidding farewell to her classmates, Sylvia asked Eric to drive away.Glancing at Sylvia, Eric asked, "Honey, you weren't like this before. Why so...""So arrogant, right?" Sylvia smiled and said. Seeing Eric nod, she continued. "That guy was too much. You can't reason with such people. You have to show them who the boss is."I did this to suppress his arrogance and because it's not appropriate for you to intervene in such matters."Sylvia's intervention was not without reason. In fact, their identities were quite sensitive. Eric's identity was even more sensitive, so letting Sylvia handle it was much more appropriate.Before they returned home, Vince called. The matter had been settled, and the compensation had been paid. The police at the scene had charged Matthew and Vince wit

    The advantage of news dissemination lay in its speed, allowing exposure of certain unsavory activities online to pursue justice.However, the drawback was the ease with which public opinion could be manipulated. Some news outlets selectively used snippets of information or images, distorting the content. The true events, along with their causes and consequences, were seldom explored by internet users.Additionally, some individuals on the internet tended to criticize others, even though many of them were relatively unknown.Eric paid little attention to online occurrences, focusing on delivering a lecture to the students before heading back to Salt City.The establishment of the holistic medicine college by senior physicians didn't aim to select talented individuals from this group of students.These students were already 18 or 19 years old, past the prime time for learning holistic medicine. Most holistic physicians commenced training at a young age, around five or six years old.

    After arriving at an empty spot, Diego confessed, "I… I did something that makes me feel very sorry for you all!"Eric frowned and inquired, "What happened?"He was puzzled. He and Sylvia hadn't interacted much with Diego, leaving him unaware of what transpired.Letting out a sigh, Diego explained, "I was blinded by jealousy when I saw you all achieving great success! That night, outside the restaurant, I recorded some footage and posted it online. But I really didn't expect it to escalate so quickly!"Eric was momentarily stunned. While he knew some people intended to sensationalize such things, he didn't expect the original footage to come from Diego.Apparently, higher education didn't automatically make someone a better person. Even with an increase in education and social status, they were still susceptible to jealousy.Diego was a prime example. He was jealous of Eric.Although Eric was upset, he remained calm and stated, "Prof. Martinez, you're an adult. How could you do

    Before Eric could say anything, Sylvia smiled and said, "Mom, it's nothing. It's just a minor issue, and it hasn't affected us much. That's why Eric hasn't taken any action."Eric added, "Mom, I've already asked someone to look into it."Upon hearing that, Grace felt somewhat reassured. Some matters might seem trivial to others, but in Grace's eyes, anything related to her family was of great importance.Later on, Grace brought up the matter of the Joint Family Association, which brought together the two top-tier families in King City, the McClains and Watsons, along with the newly rising Montgomerys. The Association comprised a total of ten major families, and its strength was undeniably formidable.This matter had already stirred up a storm in the business circle. Numerous families, even those outside King City, wanted to join the Association but were outright rejected. The Association was still in its exploratory phase, and whether it would succeed or not was not an absolute cer

    Chad's mouth was filled with blood, and his companions, whom he had brought with him, lay on the ground groaning.Sylvia had already called the police. Before kicking the door, Eric had instructed her to contact the authorities in case any altercation ensued.In the private room, some students remained unaffected by the commotion.Witnessing Eric knock down the opposing group, a few male students with minor injuries quickly gathered around him."Prof. Johnson!" one of the male students angrily exclaimed, "These bastards wanted to take our female classmates and sell them. We must bring them to justice!"Eric nodded. Observing some male students eager to retaliate against Chad, Eric intervened. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach him a lesson. They were young, around 18 or 19 years old, with the oldest among them being only 20. Instilling violent thoughts in them at this age was not a good idea."The police and an ambulance are on their way," Eric stated. "Those who aren't injur

    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
