"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

    Eric shrugged."It's none of my business. If others want to get married, can you really stop them?" He spoke candidly. "Besides, you're not getting any younger. Find someone to marry already!" But he couldn't help but feel that Ruth was probably someone no one dared to marry.Yet, having someone like Ruth at home had its advantages—there would likely be no quarrels in the household. As long as Ruth was willing, the marital relationship would undoubtedly be harmonious.Unharmonious? Ridiculous!Just look at Ruth's character. Could any ordinary man overpower her?Sean had once bluntly stated that he would not marry Ruth. He might end up spending the latter half of his life in a wheelchair!Sylvia sat beside them, desperately holding back her laughter.She knew Ruth must have feelings for Eric. Unfortunately, outstanding men in this circle were scarce.Ruth was undoubtedly aiming high, beyond the reach of the young heirs from the prestigious families in King City.Only someone

    The Williams were puzzled and perplexed. What was Ruth up to? Even if she was Eric's colleague, did she really need to be so brazen about it?Ruth didn't mince her words and treated the Williams as if they were air, addressing Eric, "Look here, I'm traveling all this way to Salt City. Surely... you ought to give me a little something in return, right?"Eric was speechless. "I didn't ask you to come!"He understood now. Ruth had set her sights on that batch of jewelry. Were such baubles even necessary for a prestigious family like the McClains? Eric didn't buy it.The McClain family surely had plenty of jewelry in their collection. Besides jewelry, Eric had seen numerous priceless antiques at the McClain residence. Just taking one out would be the type of wealth that would last for generations.Sylvia glanced at Eric. "Eric, maybe... we should give her a box?"She felt they had plenty of jewelry at home, and Ruth wasn't a bad person. She had gone through hardships risking her life

    Eric had no clue about Ruth's true intentions. He had made his choice, and there wasn't much he could say about it.Even with Sylvester's wedding looming, Eric and Sylvia couldn't interfere much—work beckoned at the appointed hour.-As noon approached, Ruth arrived, adorned with the necklace they had picked out at the Rosewood Estate yesterday.Eric's mind went blank. He seemed to have discerned this woman's motives."Haven't left yet?" Eric asked casually.Ruth smiled faintly. "Why the rush? Since you've gifted me this valuable necklace, how about treating you and your wife to lunch before I go?"Eric raised his hand hastily. "Hold on! This thing isn't a gift from me! Be careful how you phrase that when you meet others later!"He was wary of misunderstandings.Ruth nodded repeatedly. If she invited them for lunch, Eric would certainly accept the invitation. Seizing the opportunity to fleece her a bit would be rather satisfying.However, as the three descended the stairs,

    Eric was completely bewildered.What were these words of deception that Ruth uttered? When did he ever spend money on Ruth? And about that necklace? Wasn't it her own choice? When did he spend millions on it?!After a moment, he understood. Ruth was just putting on a show for another woman.Wasn't she afraid of being misunderstood?Eric's head throbbed even more.Wasn't this making Lora think he was the kind of man who couldn't walk straight when he saw a beauty? Wasn't it just making Lora think there was an opportunity?Eric couldn't understand—this would only add fuel to the fire.Sylvia suppressed a smile, feeling that Ruth's words were too powerful.Lora stood there, dumbfounded. She couldn't figure it out.Eric clearly had another woman, and it seemed like she got along well with Sylvia. As such, why couldn't he have a third woman?Was it because she... lacked in some aspects?Besides appearance, she didn't lack in other aspects.Lora spoke up. "Mr. Johnson I really do

    "Who's been embracing women left and right? Be clear with your words!" Eric was on the verge of losing his temper.How could he be embracing anyone else other than his wife?"Don't go throwing mud, alright?"Ruth smiled faintly and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, I won't disturb your embracing anymore. I'll head back to King City first."A big relief washed over Eric's face, thinking, 'My goodness, please leave quickly, my dear shit-stirrer! Quickly!'He didn't even bother to see her off!-After seeing off Ruth, Sylvia returned to Eric's office."It's obvious that Ruth also likes you. Isn't it too much competition for me?"Eric raised his eyebrows. "What competition? There's no such thing! We're husband and wife!""Right!" Sylvia smiled and sat in Eric's lap, her fingers lifting Eric's chin. "We're husband and wife, so it's like the proverb says, 'Close to the riverbank, one catches the first glimpse of the moon'. Let me see what charming qualities you possess."-In Kin

    Lionel was perplexed. Their son-in-law had a wife and a kid? Having a wife was understandable. After all, wasn't their daughter his soon-to-be wife? But a child? What in the world was going on?Lionel spoke. "Ruth, did you give birth to a grandchild for us without informing us?"This was the most logical explanation!Ruth's face froze, thinking, 'Dad how could you even think like that? What's driving you to have such thoughts? Do you really want a grandchild that badly?'Lula also looked at Ruth. "Why didn't you tell me when you had a baby? I could have helped take care of you during your confinement. How could you not observe the traditional postpartum confinement? Even if you're healthy, neglecting it could lead to health issues later."Ruth was speechless. How did this conversation shift to her confinement? It made no sense!She didn't even mention Eric, instead saying, "Dad, what do you think of the social circle in King City?"Now, that was an interesting topic.After pond

    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
