Naturally, the Locke brothers had to be deployed separately. One was responsible for Andy’s safety, while the other was tasked with protecting Elly and the children.Even the security around the Williams family was heightened. Whenever Amelia and Henry went out, they were closely guarded by bodyguards.Despite Salt City's outward calm, it was far from safe. The lives of those associated with Eric and the Innova Group were perpetually at risk.Eric felt the manpower was still insufficient. The Combat Department wasn’t particularly adept in this area. This was more in the realm of Stealthbane.Speaking of which, Stealthbane was a true professional. When he received the news, he sneered. "Couldn't finish them off in Haevon, and now they're running rampant? Fine, let's make sure they don't leave Salt City alive!"Known for his intense hatred of evil, Stealthbane reveled in such confrontations. He and his men were already on their way to Salt City.Meanwhile, Anna and her group had su
Good news didn't travel far, but bad news spread like wildfire.Eric was caught off guard in his office when Sylvia entered and sat beside him, immediately questioning, "I heard through the grapevine that the Hunter chick is pregnant with your child?""What?" Eric was stunned, almost falling out of his chair. "Who's spreading such rumors? I'll kill them!""Going to kill to silence them?" Sylvia laughed. "If she's pregnant, just let her have the baby. Anna has a wide pelvis and good milk supply—she's sure to give birth to a son!"Eric rolled his eyes in frustration. What was happening? He was just sitting in his office, and now trouble was landing on his desk? How many times had he even met Anna?"Darling…" Eric was genuinely scared now. Rumors really could be deadly.Sylvia chuckled. "I'm just teasing you. Who knows who's spreading such nonsense? Anna has only been in Salt City for a few days. Even if she were to get pregnant, it would take a month to know. How could it be so soo
There was nothing subordinates like them could do about it, so they'd leave it to Grace.Seeing Vince about to hang up and make another call, Matthew hurriedly stopped him. "Hold on! No rush. I think we should speak to Ms. Williams first!"He quickly headed to the office building.Eric and Sylvia had just finished their business.After listening to the situation, Sylvia laughed heartily. "Matthew, do you believe everything people say? Anna is Jack's sister. She only arrived in Salt City a few days ago. Even if Eric were a breeding bull, he couldn't have gotten her pregnant so quickly!"Matthew suddenly realized the truth. 'Ah, it's all fake.'Anna had claimed to be pregnant with Eric's child just to see him."You scared me!" Matthew wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Mr. Johnson, I thought you had an affair!"It was all just a farce.-Being an honest man, Matthew apologized to Anna.Anna, with her head held high, regained her composure.However, to those strategists and s
The sages and strategists actually believed Eric's nonsense. It was simply because Anna was pregnant with Eric's child. How could Eric harm his own child? Despite Anna's numerous explanations, nobody listened. Not only did they not listen, but they also gave her knowing looks."You're a goddess-level beauty. Of course, you wouldn't want to ruin your reputation like this," their eyes seemed to say.It was understandable why she wouldn't admit it. The more she tried to explain, the darker the situation became, so Anna eventually gave up. Even the smartest person couldn't wake someone who was pretending to be asleep. If they couldn't be woken, then there was no point in trying. Still, the more Anna thought about it, the angrier she became. 'How has it come to this?! 'Sure, Eric was somewhat handsome, but can looks put food on the table? 'Yeah, he seems to have money, but what is money good for? It isn't everything. 'Besides, he already has a wife.' Anna shook her h
Eric frowned. "Frontier Tech?"'It makes sense,' he thought.Airports were heavily regulated, with strict immigration controls. For someone like Stealthbane to enter, backdoors had to be utilized. Otherwise, entry would have been nearly impossible.Naturally, a figure like Stealthbane had hundreds of methods to get in. The same went for others. They could enter through foreign companies like Frontier Tech, under the guise of inspections or investments, smoothly bypassing the usual hurdles."Those despicable people again!" Sylvia fumed. "We should have crushed them with a thunderous force from the beginning. Waiting for them to grow was a mistake."The three major international manufacturers are already overwhelmed. There's no way Frontier Tech can develop further. Eric, we need to find an opportunity to eliminate such vile companies!"Back then, Frontier Tech had boasted grand ambitions, claiming it would become the largest, most advanced, and most comprehensive chip company in t
In the past, Eric and Sylvia didn't know the answers to these questions, but tonight they witnessed these individuals' combat prowess firsthand. Especially Jack, who fought valiantly and fiercely, dominating the battlefield.Eric and Sylvia stood a short distance away, observing the fierce clash between the two groups. Sylvia chuckled. "I thought they were useless, but they're quite formidable. Eric, look at Anna. She fights with such a unique style. It's really something to behold. Isn't it tiring for her to fight with those heavy breasts hanging in front?"Eric glanced at Sylvia's chest and thought, 'How can you even criticize her? When you fought David's underlings, you never complained about being tired!'Anna's skills were indeed impressive, as four or five ordinary people couldn't even get close to her.However, the opponents were no pushovers either. Initially, they were at a disadvantage, but gradually, they started turning the tide.When the battle first began, the op
The couple was deeply engrossed in their conversation, while Jack was fiercely engaged in battle. After all, he had to put on a show for Eric. Without a strong performance, what kind of future could he hope for?The fight remained a stalemate.Eric set up tables and chairs on the lawn.When the food delivery arrived, the couriers were shocked."Whoa! Is this a gang fight? Scared the life out of me!"They took a long detour to deliver the food to the villa. If it weren’t for the generous pay, they would have canceled this order on the spot.Eric arranged the food and shouted outside, "Alright, stop fighting! It's time for supper."Jack clenched his fist. "Mr. Johnson, I can keep fighting! I want to beat these guys so badly that their own mothers won't recognize them!"What a battle maniac."Enough," Eric said. "Let them go. They can't kill you, and you can't kill them. How about arranging a rematch later?"What a good guy!Even those who came to kill Eric thought he was a dec
"The darkest thing?" Anna muttered,Jack gnawed on a giant lobster. "I think the darkest thing is when the boss whips me hard with a belt."Eric's mouth twitched. Was this really the darkest experience this fellow had encountered?Anna put down her lobster. "We haven't seen much of the world, but I think the darkest thing is those deceitful men. I know what they're thinking when they look at me."She concluded, "Human hearts are the darkest things in this world."One sage spoke up. "What is the darkest? It's doing unspeakable things for personal gain or the benefit of a group, like the virus incident in Haevon."The group paused, the gravity of the conversation hanging in the air. They hadn't initially planned to discuss such matters, but Eric's extravagant midnight snack had loosened their tongues. The expense was astronomical, something even sages couldn't indulge in without financial ruin.After they spoke, Jack turned to Eric. "What about you, Mr. Johnson? Who are these peop
