Eric hung his clothes on the rack and said, "She reported it to the police just after work this afternoon. We should have some results in a day or two.

"It's infuriating how people spread rumors without knowing the full story. When I picked up Max this afternoon, a parent asked me if Lora was easy. Can you believe that?"

Sylvia didn't immediately grasp what Eric meant.

A few seconds later, she understood. "What kind of people are these? Twisting words and taking things out of context?"

She spoke as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face.

When she came out, she saw Eric reading a book. She sat down beside him.

After glancing at him, she suddenly asked, "Hey, do you want to know if... she is easy?"

Eric was exasperated. "Can't you be serious for once? My lady, can you behave properly?"

Sylvia chuckled. "I'm just considering things for you! Imagine back in the day when men had multiple partners, indulging in variety every night. They must have been so happy!

"Nowadays, it's

    Pleasure had its cost, after all.Robert, along with two officers, approached Jason.Sensing he was in trouble, Jason bolted as soon as he saw them in uniform.The scene quickly became a spectacle.Jason, who had been boasting endlessly, was now being apprehended? But why?Though no one knew the exact reason, it was clear Jason had committed some wrongdoing. The words he had spoken and the so-called facts he had presented were likely fabrications.Jason didn't get far before Robert and his team pinned him to the ground."Let me go!" Jason shouted. "I’m a foreign citizen! You can’t arrest me! You have no jurisdiction over me! What crime have I committed? Why are you arresting me?"Whether Jason was genuinely clueless or pretending, his remarks were absurd. Claiming Robert had no jurisdiction in Salt City was ludicrous.Robert handcuffed Jason, stating, "You know exactly what crime you've committed. The Internet is not beyond the law, and being a foreign citizen doesn't exempt y

    Entering the direct admission course of the Innova Group had brought immense fame to Salt City University. Each year, countless students vied for those few spots.Over the years, Salt City University's national ranking climbed several tiers. The university's main draw was indeed the Innova Group's direct admission course. The admission scores for these classes were even higher than those of first-rate universities.After hanging up, Eric smiled and said, "Professor, everything's been taken care of. Jason has a prior record, and he’s not a citizen here, but he will still be detained for 15 days. After that, he’ll clear things up and apologize."Tobias nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but ask, "Eric, your relationship with Commissioner Wilson...""Friends!" Eric laughed. "I won't hide it, Professor. We've worked on several cases together, so we have some connections."Tobias understood. That explained it.Tobias wanted Eric to stay for dinner, but Eric declined. He had a beautif

    Before leaving Haevon, Stealthbane sent over the first set of data.Though it wasn't much, it gave Eric a preliminary understanding of the virus.Its fatality rate was significantly higher than the virus that had appeared in Dortmund City a few years ago.Eric sighed. "This is not looking good."Sylvia sat down beside him. "If worse comes to worst, let's halt our overseas operations temporarily and bring everyone back. After all, our lives are the priority."Could this be an enhanced version of the Dortmund City virus?" Judging by the situation, the Haevon virus seemed to be more severe than the Dortmund virus. It had an extremely high fatality rate and was highly contagious.From Eric's understanding, high fatality and high contagion rates were inherently contradictory for a virus, as they went against the principles of biological evolution.A creature's instinct was survival and the continuation of its genes.For a virus to survive, it needed its host to stay alive. If the

    Pierce and Ruth, along with the others, were all dressed in the highest-grade protective suits. Only Eric’s hands were exposed as he needed them for examination. No one else felt comfortable checking on Pierce and Ruth, only Eric.Soon, the car door opened. A person from the Combat Department stepped out of the vehicle carrying a box. After undergoing two rounds of disinfection, he finally met with Pierce and the other two. Handing over the box to the relevant personnel, he said no more, and Eric immediately began his diagnosis.After a considerable time, Eric finally nodded slightly. "No problem!"Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me about Haevon. So many days have passed, and only two people have died there? I find that hard to believe."When the Dortmund virus first began to spread, many people died quickly. How long had it been since the virus appeared in Haevon?Pierce had learned from the news that only two people had died, but he never trusted the other countries'

    Pierce wanted to test the virus on himself.The laboratory had been researching for several days but couldn't find an effective cure. Despite this, Pierce still believed in Eric. He thought Eric might have a solution for the virus. If he got infected, Eric could treat him. They needed to find a cure for the infection, after all.However, Eric wasn't the only one opposing this idea. Ruth and others from the Combat Department also objected. After all, Pierce was the one overseeing the whole situation. If something happened to him, who would take charge?"Master, let me do it," Ruth said, glancing at Eric. "If anything goes wrong, Eric can take care of me. You can't afford to be incapacitated. The Combat Department can manage without me but not without you."She had a clear grasp of the situation. Eric had examined her thoroughly many times, probably knowing every mole on her body. If she tested the virus and something went wrong, Eric would know how to handle it."I'll do it," Pierc

    Pierce trusted Eric's judgment, especially since Eric was an expert in this area. When the renowned Orion was alive, he could accurately predict a patient's remaining time based on their condition. Even though Eric hadn't inherited all of Orion's knowledge, he was still remarkably close.Three days felt too short for Pierce. The medical system simply couldn't react fast enough. By the time they were ready to start treatment, the patient would already be gone. Worse still, the virus was highly contagious."What about the treatment?" Pierce asked again. His primary concern was finding a widespread solution. Ideally, there would be a drug that could be mass-produced.Eric sighed. "There is a method, but it's very difficult. There are probably only 20 or 30 holistic physicians nationwide who could handle it. If the infection spreads widely, this method won't work."Before the virus outbreak in Salt City, there were about 50 such holistic physicians. Unfortunately, over the past few yea

    Pierce marveled at the couple's deep bond. With such a strong relationship, what chance did a third party have?After exchanging a few words with Sylvia, Eric went back to his work. He needed to assist the senior experts in compiling relevant data and deriving useful insights from it.Although he often claimed he was idle at home, Sylvia couldn't help but feel concerned when she saw him so busy. After all, Eric was her husband. What wife wouldn't worry about her spouse?As Eric busied himself, Pierce approached and sat across from Sylvia. For a long time, he said nothing.Feeling the weight of his gaze, Sylvia grew uneasy."Big Boss, is there something you need?" she asked, sensing something unusual in his look.Pierce chuckled. "It's nothing much. I just wanted to chat about Eric. I heard that in Salt City, he's been... courting women? One of them being a teacher?"Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed by this. Eric, courting women? It seemed like he might have, but then again, maybe n

    Pierce was stunned by what he heard!'Sylvia actually has such... resolve?'He had no idea that it wasn't just Eric's family who wanted a son, but Sylvia herself and Eric both desired it too.Who wouldn't want both a son and a daughter? But often, things don't go as planned.Pierce was trying to figure out whether Sylvia was serious about what she said. If it was true, then Ruth might meet the criteria?'I might need to discuss this matter with Ruth. Still, it depends on whether Eric agrees.'However, with Sylvia being so considerate, how could Eric ever agree? He would never betray Sylvia in this lifetime.'Sylvia didn't take Pierce's words to heart. If there were no signs of pregnancy in the next few years, she might persuade Eric to consider that path.She had already thought about potential candidates. Both Lora and Ruth were beautiful and came from respectable backgrounds. More importantly, Eric was very familiar with them, making them ideal choices.However, Sylvia and E

    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
