I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup Chapter 1624
In truth, Donald's current situation was quite dire.Elijah had indeed boosted Salt City's economic development, enriching its citizens, but the municipal government was left quite impoverished. Most of the funds had been poured into the city's infrastructure, and by the time Donald took office, there was hardly any money left.He sometimes lamented that his predecessor had cast the net too wide, leaving him now scrambling to make ends meet.Yet, even if there were funds, Donald would still target the Innova Group. Bringing such a giant under public control would be a monumental achievement.His secretary offered a knowing smile but kept his thoughts to himself. After all, the Innova Group's money was their own. What did it have to do with them?Acquiring the company would certainly be beneficial, but if it wasn’t possible, they should stop obsessing over it since it wasn’t their property to begin with.Both men knew, however, that Robert’s investigation likely wouldn’t yield any

The issue of voluntary organ donations was still being pushed forward, despite the predictable chorus of complaints.Donald had his ways of suppressing the dissenting voices. To him, opposition was merely a nuisance, not a real problem.The court date was yet to come, and Eric wasn’t particularly concerned. He would deal with it when the time came. However, it was only a few days away.To his surprise, Lora, whom he hadn’t seen for several days, appeared unexpectedly. The last time he saw her in person was on the hospital rooftop when Ruth had attempted to jump. That was nearly half a month ago.Eric had assumed Lora was just busy with work, but why did she have time to visit the Innova Group?Lora seemed quite familiar with Eric’s office. She entered, tossed her bag onto the sofa, and sighed. "I'm not a teacher anymore, and now I’m truly free!"She looked relieved, yet there was an unmistakable trace of regret in her eyes.Eric noticed this contradiction. He had heard from Tobi

Pierce was acutely aware that children were the future. If even they were harmed and targeted, what future could there be? Without a present, talking about the future was futile.Lora overheard Ruth's conversation.By the time Ruth hung up, Lora was utterly stunned. "Y-You can legislate?!"She was terrified, feeling that people like Eric and Ruth were practically supernatural. How had she, of all people, come to know such individuals? Was this even within her reach? It was terrifying!Ruth remained calm. "It’s nothing extraordinary. Of course, we don’t act recklessly. If no one steps forward to push forward what everyone opposes, then it's up to us to take action."Lora let out a breath, feeling that in this matter, Ruth was right. The organization behind Ruth and Eric was right. If it wasn’t for protecting the children, she wouldn’t have lost her job.Ruth glanced at Lora and asked curiously, "By the way, don’t you have classes today? Why are you here? It’s not lunchtime."Lora

The judge, Adam Perkins, was in a quandary. On one side, he had the mayor of the city, and on the other, the founder of Innova Group. Both were crucial figures in Salt City. He had considered mediating between them, but Donald was adamant about making Eric pay for his actions. At that time, Adam couldn't reach Eric, so there was little to be done. Now that Eric was present, Adam saw an opportunity to mediate. Avoiding a full-blown court battle would be ideal. He intended to play the peacemaker.Addressing the two men, he began, "Gentlemen, one of you is the mayor of Salt City, and the other is one of our city's most outstanding young talents."Adam was trying to smooth things over. There were many notable youths in Salt City, but he had not used any qualifiers there, subtly conveying a message to Eric. He was already familiar with the situation. While he felt that Donald had gone too far, Eric shouldn't have resorted to violence.Adam wanted to show some favoritism but knew that D

Adam stood in front of Donald, blocking his way. Without this obstruction, Donald would have certainly lunged at Eric, likely earning another bump on his head.Eric retorted, "I said he isn’t a human because of his reckless decisions! Esteemed Judge Perkins, tell me: is it right to pressure parents into signing organ donation consents for minors, using the school's authority as leverage?"Adam was shocked. Eric had just mentioned some updates, and Adam had indeed received and reviewed the new information. This was precisely the issue!There was a new law explicitly prohibiting minors from donating organs. Whether voluntary or involuntary, the law made it unequivocally clear: such donations were outright banned!After Eric finished speaking, Adam eyed him. "So, you punched him because of this?"Eric nodded, saying no more. He knew Adam was well-versed in the law and understood the implications of the situation.But Donald was far from pleased. He glared at Eric. "Do I need your in

Eric found the whole situation amusing—even Adam was visibly embarrassed. Eric didn't even want to engage further.Adam forced a smile and asked, "M-Mr. Ford, are you serious about this?""Absolutely," replied Donald with a stern expression. "What, you think I'm joking? This is the only solution. If you don't agree, well—"Hmph! This won't end here! If Salt City can't handle it, we'll take it to King City! Do you think I'm afraid of you, Eric? You hit someone, you'll pay the price!"Adam felt overwhelmed by the predicament. He had initially thought a settlement of a couple of million would resolve the issue if Eric was willing to pay. He hadn't anticipated that Donald's real target wasn't just a couple of million but the entire Innova Group! His appetite was far too large.Eric glanced at his watch and decided not to argue further with Donald. "It's getting late, and I have other matters to attend to. Judge Perkins, I'll have my lawyer coordinate with you on this matter. If there'

The Innova Group had amassed a significant fortune. Besides paying taxes, they had also invested a substantial amount in municipal projects. The sum easily ran into the triple-digit millions.Sylvia never expected Donald would still entertain the idea of nationalizing Innova Group at this stage. How could he expect something so unreasonable? If this kind of precedent was set, not just Salt City but private enterprises and capital across the entire country would flee. This wasn’t mere alarmism.In a hostile environment, where assets could be forcibly seized, who would dare to remain? Donald had to understand the implications, yet he insisted on pursuing this course.Sylvia fumed. "In my opinion, we should halt all investments in municipal projects on our end. I don’t care how much it costs us. Donald’s actions make me feel worse than swallowing bile!"I’ll call my brother and then Mr. Sonnex. We need to make sure they hold onto their money tight, so they don’t become targets!"Sh

At Sonnex Corp.Irvin leisurely sipped his coffee. Ever since Keith got married to Valerie, Irvin had gradually begun to delegate more responsibilities. Nowadays, most of the company's affairs were handled by Keith. A few years ago, a priest from the Celestial Sage Sanctum had enlightened Keith, enabling him to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of Sonnex Corp. Over these years, Keith had indeed transformed, now fully capable of independently managing various aspects.Irvin's visits to the company were now more about inspecting the foundation laid by the Sonnex family and enjoying some coffee and a stroll. He rarely involved himself in company matters, yet everyone, including Keith, knew that his word still carried significant weight.Today's announcement was arranged by Irvin himself.Keith didn't question it—he knew that the new mayor had been eyeing the Innova Group. Sylvia's call undoubtedly meant that the Innova Group was dissatisfied with Donald.Keith voiced his concern.

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
