After finishing their meal, Amelia took charge of organizing the evening's entertainment.

"The magnificence of wealthy families is truly staggering!" exclaimed Elly. "They're serving multiple red king crabs. It's not just about cooking crabs. It's like they're grilling money!"

Despite Andy's significant earnings over the past two years, she always found the Williams' lifestyle excessively extravagant. She would only indulge in red king crabs when Andy expressed a craving for them, given their hefty price tag of several hundred dollars each.

Since marrying Andy, they had only indulged in this luxury once. Yet tonight, the Williams not only had several prepared but also an array of seafood and exotic ingredients that left her bewildered.

Andy smiled and remarked, "What we perceive as luxurious living is merely another's daily routine. It's rather disheartening."

Over the last two years, he had gained insight into the lifestyle of wealthy families. His salary from the Innova Group fe

    After completing her preparations, Amelia called everyone over."Eric, this must be quite expensive, huh?" Melinda asked, feeling as though each bite cost a small fortune.They were accustomed to a modest lifestyle despite their newfound wealth and financial security, so they refrained from indulging in luxury.Melinda was adept at creatively repurposing leftovers into new meals, firmly believing that reheated dishes were still perfectly edible. Given its perceived expense, seafood was a rare treat, with locally farmed shrimp being considered a luxury option.Thus, the sight of king crabs on the table only confirmed Melinda's suspicions regarding their cost.Eric affirmed, "Yes, it is indeed quite pricey. With many flights grounded, seafood prices have soared. Each crab sets us back over 1,000 dollars."Learning this, Melinda hesitated to take another bite. After all, 1,000 dollars could sustain her and Blake in Nutikiville for several months, even without being frugal.Many eld

    The development of a cure was far from an overnight process. It could span anywhere from two to three years for a short period, extend to five to six years, and, in some cases, stretch out to two to three decades. Despite this, only a month had passed since the virus outbreak in Dortmund City.Following the outbreak, the Combat Department established a laboratory in Dortmund City. Yet, despite their efforts, they had not yet produced a cure. Instead, they had merely provided a list of currently effective drugs available in the market to fight the virus.However, the Oberdeens claimed to have developed a cure in just one month?Eric found this claim hard to believe, and even experts in the field would undoubtedly declare it impossible. Given the current circumstances, any pharmaceutical company capable of creating such a cure would unquestionably garner attention and praise from the public.Still, Eric sensed something suspicious about the matter."Really?" Sylvia chimed in. "The d

    After all, many lives had been lost due to the virus.Sylvia nodded in agreement, recognizing the gravity of the situation.Following breakfast, Eric headed to the stadium, donning a fresh set of clothes to begin his day's work.-Sylvia dutifully delivered lunch to him at the appropriate time.Lewis couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, though Sylvia paid him no mind."Dr. Gundry!" A nurse rushed over urgently. "There's an issue with patient No. 87. You need to come check!"Lewis abruptly abandoned his meal and hurried off.Turning to Eric, Sylvia asked, "Have there been severe cases reported in Salt City as well?"Eric confirmed with a solemn nod. "Yes, severe cases began surfacing the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, we arrived too late, and the preventive measures were insufficient."Despite Salt City's swift intervention, severe cases persisted, heightening Sylvia's concern and leaving Eric feeling helpless.The initial stages of the infection were manageable,

    It appeared to them that the holistic physicians were skeptical of modern medicine. However, the nurse refrained from making a decision herself, instead opting to enter the ward to inform Lewis.Upon returning, she conveyed, "Dr. Gundry mentioned he doesn't require assistance. Nevertheless, if you wish to observe the application of modern medical resuscitation techniques, you are welcome to join."Silence fell over the group of holistic physicians. Each of them, seasoned in their practice, possessed familiarity with resuscitation procedures.Eventually, Winston and a handful of seasoned holistic physicians chose to enter for a closer observation. Their profound understanding of modern medicine and the virus made them acutely aware of its limitations once organ failure set in.Upon entering, Winston and his companions witnessed Lewis's struggle with resuscitation efforts, hindered by the absence of crucial devices.Winston's brow furrowed as he observed the deteriorating conditio

    "I…" Lewis hesitated, his thoughts swirling as Kirk's words sunk in. He believed fervently in the sanctity of saving lives, yet Kirk's pointed questions challenged his perspective."Let's go and take a look at the patient," Kirk proposed, breaking the tense silence.Upon inspecting the patient, Kirk's brow furrowed deeper, a grim acknowledgment of the severity of the situation."Similar cases have arisen in Dortmund City," he remarked, his tone grave. "With our medical expertise, we've managed to save some, but the odds are against us. Out of ten cases, nine slip into a comatose state. And among those, six families opt to discontinue treatment."Kirk continued, his voice measured yet compassionate. "Dr. Gundry, as a physician, the adage 'physician, heal thyself' holds wisdom. But as a healer, your duty extends beyond mere treatment."Conflicted, Lewis remained silent, grappling with Kirk's insights. He had always equated being a good doctor with reviving the ailing, yet Kirk's wor

    When Eric and Kirk arrived at the ward, the patient's family members were already present, some in tears, while others clung to Lewis, unwilling to let go.Such situations always seemed distant and nearly impossible until they actually unfolded."Doctor, you've got to help us!" A woman grasped Lewis's hand. "He is the pillar of our family. We can't live without him!"An elderly man sighed, "Doctor, how much is the treatment fee? It must be expensive, right? We don't have much savings. If he couldn't wake up anymore, what should we do?"Lewis was overwhelmed. He had just pulled the patient back from the clutches of death, yet he couldn't fathom why they had so many questions. Shouldn't the family be grateful to him?He didn't know how to explain it to the family members. While he had pointed out that being alive was a positive outcome, what was the use if the person was in a vegetative state? What comfort did that bring to the family?But many people didn't seek spiritual comfort.

    Eric knew that Winston and the other senior holistic physicians could handle such cases. The patient had ended up in this situation because of Lewis' stubbornness."Can you wake him up?" Kirk asked again, with all the family members looking at Eric.Eric nodded and replied, "I can try, but it'll take a considerable amount of time. Let's give it a shot."Kirk was overjoyed. If Eric said it was worth a try, then he must be able to help the patient. He just didn't want the family members to be overly optimistic.However, despite Kirk's reassurances, the family members were still worried.An elderly man asked, "Doctor, how much is the surgery fee? We'll prepare it right away!"To which Eric replied, "Sir, I save lives based on fateful encounters, and I don't charge any fees."For Eric, encountering someone was fate. Without encountering them, he couldn't do anything. With numerous patients, complex cases, and terminal illnesses in the world, he couldn't individually approach each on

    Lewis stood still, contemplating not only Eric's medical skills but also questioning his own previous judgment. Could there be no issue with the patient, and he should have awakened by now?From his perspective, it simply did not make sense. Even modern medicine had limited success in awakening a patient from a vegetative state, relying mostly on the patient's natural recovery. How could Eric manage this? How could holistic medicine achieve such a feat? It seemed impossible.If holistic medicine possessed such miraculous medical abilities, extensive research would have already been conducted to advance medical science."Impressive as always, Hol. Johnson," Kirk commented. "I remember a few years ago when he was admitted to our hospital. Having such a figure in Salt City is a great fortune!"Kirk was genuinely impressed, not merely offering flattery. Eric's medical expertise had completely won him over.He continued. "Dr. Lewis, don't come here tomorrow. I mean it."Hearing this

    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
