"What are you saying?" The woman glared at the two police officers, pointing at Eric. "He killed my dog, yet you don't arrest or make him compensate me. Instead. you punish and fine me?! Is there any justice left?! Ah!"

She began to howl, as if deeply aggrieved. While ranting, she lunged towards the two police officers with bared teeth. "Can't you be reasonable? My child is dead!"

The two police officers hastily raised their hands in retreat. "Ma'am, please calm down! We are just following protocol!"

What did they mean by unreasonable? The woman hadn't heard a word from the police officers—she was just intent on fighting. She didn't even heed their warnings.

With no choice, one of the police officers took out pepper spray. Meanwhile, the other grabbed the woman's hand, twisting it behind her back, and promptly subdued her.

He pulled handcuffs from his waist and secured them around the woman. "Take her away. Still not content with a fine of 200 dollars, you want more penalties?"

    Naturally, it was from dog lovers.Killing dogs was more distressing than directly harming them.But behind this, things were not as simple as they seemed.How many people were profiting under the guise of being dog lovers?Eric and Sylvia paid no attention to such matters.-When they arrived at the company the next day, their secretary remarked, "Ms. Williams, this woman is truly despicable. She claims that her Doberman didn't bite people. It was only attracted to the baby scent Ms. Yvette exudes. The dog just wanted to get close and be friendly."Sylvia's expression was puzzled!Friendly?When a dog lunged with bared teeth, clearly aiming to knock someone down, was that called being friendly?"What are they saying online?" Sylvia asked.She didn't have time to keep up with online gossip.When there's time to spend with Yvette and go out and about, why waste so much time and youth on the Internet?"They're condemning you," the secretary replied. "They can't find Mr. John

    How important was the Innova Group to Salt City? It was the sole high-tech company in Salt City, evidently driving the local economy's development.By now, the job opportunities provided by the Innova Group, the economic value created, the stimulation of Salt City's industries, and the tax revenue generated, all rank it as the top company in the entire Salt Province.Even conglomerates like Williams and Sonnex Corp. found it hard to match its achievements.The Salt City officials paid considerable attention to this company. Even the surveillance at the entrance of the Innova Group is linked to Salt City's security network. With just one alarm from Jacob, the relevant departments would dispatch immediately.Still, there were those whose actions were quicker than theirs, such as the Locke brothers!Someone forcibly scaled the gates of the Innova Group, only to be swiftly apprehended by them.Jacob peeked outside but dared not utter a word. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but admire

    After a thorough investigation, it emerged that the female blogger and her boyfriend were both renters.Their relentless pursuit of social advancement at any cost had dire consequences. Instead of reaping rewards, their sensationalism only besmirched their reputation.Meanwhile, the Innova Group matter was promptly resolved, with the female blogger once again apprehended by authorities. The manipulation of facts and distortion of truth egregiously violated regulations, leading the blogger to grasp the gravity of her actions.However, the media's attention was conspicuously elsewhere.Who cared about a female blogger? What was the commotion over a dog bite? None of it seemed relevant.The real focus was on the exposure of Sylvia, the CEO of the Innova Group, and her private life. Previous reports painted Sylvia as an aloof, unmarried CEO. So how did she come to have a child? This revelation caused quite a stir.The animal lovers were driven away, replaced by a swarm of journalists

    "How did this news stir up again?" Amelia couldn't understand this. For so many years, had there been any gossip about the Williams family? Even if there were any, it would usually concern changes in Williams Corp. Even Brook's marriage wasn't widely reported. Now, just because a dog got hit, all these news stories emerged."Mom, it's not really their fault," Sylvia remarked. "Those paparazzi are just idle—they have to report on everything I do, thinking it's some big news."Even if Sylvia wasn't the CEO of the Innova Group and still held a position in Williams Corp., those journalists would probably still be poking around. After all, that's their bread and butter. They hadn't heard about Sylvia getting married and having a child, so wouldn't that be considered news?Furthermore, the Innova Group was currently a focal point in the industry. How could they overlook reporting on it?If they could uncover some explosive information, such as an illegitimate child, their standing as

    "It's strange," Eric mused, puzzled. "My immune system is top-notch, so why would I suddenly sneeze?"-"Huh?" Lora was utterly perplexed. How could one's own husband be incapable? What sort of woman was this?"So?" Sylvia looked at Lora. "Are you still interested in Eric? I suggest you focus more on teaching now and improve the students' academic performance."This society is cruel," Sylvia added. "The majority are impoverished. One undeniable fact is the existence of social hierarchy. To swiftly transcend it, one must study!"Studying was the most cost-effective and least risky method to transcend classes.Children from poor families ought to study more. Sylvia understood this well. Thus, whether in Williams Corp. or the Innova Group, she allocated a substantial sum to support education, facilitating social mobility.Unexpectedly, Lora responded, "Ms. Williams, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The academic performance of the class I lead is the best in our school. Even in all

    "Please don't cry, alright?" Sylvia's voice was gentle, yet firm. "It's just not feasible, neither morally nor practically. Not only would it harm you, but it would also endanger Eric."Do you understand? If you truly care for and genuinely love him, it's best to keep your distance."Sylvia spoke these words solely for Eric's benefit. She was well aware that someone like Eric could easily handle a handful of mistresses without any repercussions.It was a harsh reality, but such behavior was not uncommon in a society where the majority of resources flowed toward the elite.The upper echelon's majority indulged in extravagant lifestyles, with multiple partners being just another facet of their extravagance.Sylvia was grateful that Eric wasn't one of them. Otherwise, who could rein him in?But was Lora becoming Eric's woman a solution? Not necessarily.Eric's position as the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department came with its own share of secrecy. Otherwise, who knew how man

    "Listen, what kind of flattering words are these?"Though Sylvia was nearing her 30s and had given birth, she couldn't quite match the charm of a 17 or 18-year-old girl.Over these years, Sylvia's figure and beauty remained unchanged. If anything, after having a kid, she exuded the distinct charm of a mature woman.If Sylvia was captivating before, now she was soul-stirring."Don't talk such nonsense," Eric said, gazing at Sylvia. "No woman in this world, no matter how beautiful, can compare to you."Sylvia was greatly pleased by these words. True or not, she loved hearing them.She chuckled and said, "Capable men indeed have their allure. Add a little sweetness to their words, and they become almost flawless. No wonder Lora suggested taking care of our child, even entertaining the idea of a shared husband. She's willingly onboard!""Enough, enough!" Eric sighed, speechless. What was all this talk about?Their connection went beyond mere emotional ties. Even if everything else

    Grace didn't bother asking Eric and Sylvia where all these things came from. From her vantage point, many things were crystal clear. She knew Eric had made a trip to Haevon in Erweston, and he had most likely obtained these items there. If they were rare items, they must be exceedingly valuable.The Combat Department hadn't uttered a word, and she had nothing to add. During dinner, Henry and Alexander delved into weighty discussions. In families such as the Montgomerys and the Williams, pivotal decisions typically rested with the men.The Montgomerys didn't need marriage alliances to bolster their social standing—it was excessive. Their family had already reached its pinnacle.A few sips of wine later, the matter was settled.Alexander chuckled. "You handle your end of the arrangements, and I'll entertain some relatives and friends on my side. In essence, let's keep it straightforward. If Sylvester doesn't marry her, I'm concerned she won't find another suitable match!""Dad!" S

    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
