"Big Sis!" Eric exclaimed.

Until now, he still did not know her name.

She arrived with a few of her friends, carrying flower baskets. "How could you not inform me that your sister's store is opening? Well, I've brought along some of my friends to show support for your sister."

Eric smiled bitterly and quickly expressed gratitude on behalf of his sister. Some businesses were built on friendships, and he warmly welcomed Big Sis' arrival.

Meanwhile, he also admired Big Sis' energy. She somehow knew about his sister's store opening.

Eric had been lucky. All his friends were enthusiastic and loyal people.

After some time, Misty arrived as well. Unlike Sylvia's low-key entrance, Misty drove up in a flashy sports car. A flower basket sat on the back seat.

Misty wasn't eager to come, as she still didn't want to acknowledge Eric as her uncle. However, due to Irvin and Keith's busy schedules, she had to come on their behalf.

After placing the flower basket, she cast an odd glance at Sy

    It had only been a few days since their divorce, and she had thought Craig might spend a few years in prison. But now, the punishment he faced seemed worse than prison."Elly!" Craig flicked the cigarette, grinding it with his foot.He gnashed his teeth and said, "People say being married even for a day means a lifetime of commitment! Doesn't the past mean anything to you? Our kids still call me Dad! You want me like this?!"Setbacks had knocked him down, but he thought about Elly eventually.Elly didn't know how Craig had found her, but his sorry state wouldn't move her.She retorted, "Me wanting you like this? Who caused all these problems? If you'd taken care of our family instead of fooling around, I might've waited even if you were in prison. And now you want my help? Never! Leave now, or I'll call the cops!"Craig was certain Elly and Eric had plotted this. They were the only ones who had warned him beforehand.The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became.

    While Eric was preparing to pick up Sylvia from work, he received a call from Sergeant Wilson. A significant breakthrough had occurred in the case: the group that had attacked him near the parking lot that evening had surrendered themselves!-Upon seeing Eric at the police station, their faces quickly turned pale.They had been leading fearful lives recently, venturing out only at night, their hearts pounding with anxiety. They were haunted by the possibility they might have killed Eric.Unable to endure the constant fear and faced with grim lives and no financial support from David, they decided to surrender.Glancing at them, Eric nodded. "It's them." Eric had not expected they would choose to confess after hiding for so long.Sergeant Wilson nodded and then led Eric to his office. Sergeant Wilson let out a relieved sigh as the case was finally solved. He had been feeling a lot of pressure recently, as the Williams and Sonnexes, the two richest families in Salt City, were

    David froze and immediately thought of Eric. Panic surged within him, and he stammered, "I... I'm a legitimate businessman. How could I be involved in an aggravated assault case? I'm innocent!"The two police officers ignored him. As they pulled out handcuffs, David's bravado crumbled.-At Williams Corp.Eric parked his car and called Sylvia. To his surprise, Sylvia was having a meal and asked him to come to Sylvester's office to find her.Eric frowned, feeling a pang of disappointment. Upon arriving at Sylvester's office, Eric noticed Sylvia seated alongside Sylvester. Two glasses of red wine rested on the table before them.A sudden wave of jealousy washed over Eric. After all, Sylvester was more attractive and wealthier than him.However, what he did not know was that Sylvester was Sylvia's older brother."You've come." Sylvia waved at Eric. "Come over and join us. I've ordered one for you."Eric sat down at the table with his head lowered. He looked at the meal before h

    Looking at the vacant house, Eric felt sadness. Sylvia's thoughts were a mystery to him. She had been good to him recently. She helped him when he got hurt, went with him to his hometown, and supported him with his sister's issues. He couldn't understand Sylvia's feelings for him.The more he pondered, the more uneasy he became.He faced the sandbag and hit it hard, imagining it was David and Sylvester. But this just made him more upset. He called Sylvia, but she didn't answer.-Sylvia reached the Williams manor by 10:00 p.m.Sylvester had also just come back from work.Sylvia's family looked at her with curiosity. Since she announced her marriage in the family chat, this was her first time returning home."What's the matter, Vee? Why did you come home today? Where's your husband?" Brook asked.All of them knew that Sylvia and Eric's relationship had been deepening recently, and they were happy for them. However, something seemed off today."I'm tired, so I came back to rest,

    Amelia looked at Brook. "This is a time bomb. I want you to find a way for Eric and me to have a chance encounter. I'll talk to him about Vee's background."Brook hesitated. "But Mom, Eric is already upset. If you reveal that Vee is connected to the Williams, won't he become even more furious when he discovers he's been deceived?""It's wiser to have him confront all his anger now rather than discover it later and feel enraged again!" Amelia replied.Due to Amelia's insistence, Brook had no option but to nod helplessly. He hadn't sorted out his issues with Misty, yet he was always concerned about his younger sister and her husband's situation.-Brook headed to the Rosewood Estate and kept watch on Eric.Looking through his binoculars, he observed Eric pounding a sandbag tirelessly.When he saw the sandbag being punched away, he jumped in surprise. "Goodness gracious! How angry must he be?"-Eric hung one more sandbag. He attempted to call Sylvia, but her phone was turned off

    Amelia was surprised by Irvin's response.There had been some interaction between their families, so Irvin knew Sylvia was the CEO of Williams Corp. It puzzled her why he said Sylvia wasn't a Williams.Things hadn't gone as she expected. She could have explained everything if she hadn't asked Eric to contact Irvin. But now, even the CEO of Sonnex Corp. had shot down the idea. What was the point of explaining now?Amelia felt she had made mistakes. Little did she know, Sylvia had already discussed keeping her identity hidden with Irvin. And Irvin had no idea that Amelia was right next to Eric.After hanging up, Eric shrugged. "I'm sorry, Madam. I trust him more."It was a natural reaction. After all, Eric had never met Amelia. While there might have been some resemblance between Sylvia and Amelia, Eric felt it was fine since Amelia was Slyvia's aunt.Amelia was caught between laughter and tears. She did not know how to explain herself to make Eric believe her now."Do you need an

    "Don't worry about this matter for now. Let me think about how to handle it," Sylvia said.After being upset for a night, she felt much better."Alright," Amelia said. "Eric seems to be a good kid since Irvin is willing to become sworn brothers with him. If you two really get together, it will resolve the issues between our two families. And it will be easier for Brook to pursue Misty."It's not that I want you to do this for the benefit of our family… Anyway, just follow your heart."Sylvia nodded in response.After Amelia and Brook left, she sent Eric a message, asking him to go home in the evening. Seeing that Eric did not reply, she got up and planned to head over to Elly's place to figure out a solution.-At Innova Tech.Eric glanced at the message and set his phone aside. He wondered if he should return to the Rosewood Estate tonight.As he was swaying back and forth, Andy patted his shoulder. "What are you thinking?""Thinking about how to overcome a technical issue,"

    "Not in a good mood, Little Brother?" Big Sis asked. "Let me take you to a fun place you've probably never seen before. I bet you'll definitely be interested in that place."Eric's face blushed slightly. How could she casually bring up that sort of place, especially with Elly around?Seeing the strange expressions on the Johnsons' faces, Big Sis added, "What are the two of you thinking? Elly, are you thinking that I'm taking your brother to have fun with other women?"I'm taking him to an underground boxing arena. Don't all men like violence? Just release some pent-up energy."Eric let out a sigh of relief. It would be awkward if Big Sis intended to bring him to a nightclub instead.Elly smiled sheepishly as she had misunderstood Big Sis as well.After a simple facial treatment, Big Sis and Eric left in the afternoon. Since Eric had nowhere else to go that evening, he thought visiting an underground boxing arena would broaden his horizons.Meanwhile, Elly sent Sylvia a message,

    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
