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
Sylvia felt that the money spent tonight wasn’t quite worth it.Eric said, "Even if you're upset, don't you want this level of combat strength? With them around, we don't need to get involved. Plus, the Lockes and Big Boss can share some of the burden too."He then added, "Besides, it's just a few thousand. I can afford it."Considering all the pressures from various sides, Eric felt that the money was well spent.Back inside the house, he began inquiring about Andy’s situation. There had been attempts to assassinate Andy, but the Lockes' team had thwarted them, capturing several attackers. They were interrogating them urgently.As expected, they were from Haevon and there was a connection to Frontier Tech. Without this connection, they wouldn’t have made it to Salt City so smoothly.-Andy mentioned this matter first thing in the morning when he arrived at the company."Madness!" he exclaimed. "How can those people be so bold?"Last night's events had left him shaken. Even if
"It's you again!" The man across the way, seething with rage, didn't bother with words and attacked.Chaos erupted instantly, the scene devolving into an all-out brawl.Stealthbane stood dumbfounded. "Good heavens, Mr. Johnson. What's going on here? Why are these two groups fighting so fiercely?"He had seen intense battles before, but never like this. They didn't even exchange words before attacking each other as if they had a deep-seated vendetta."Look." Eric pointed to the opponents. "One side is here to kill me and Vee, while the other consists of sages and strategists. They despise evil and can't stand the sight of the other group, so they started fighting.""Good grief! This is incredible!" Stealthbane rubbed his hands together in excitement. He had never witnessed such a thrilling scene before.Suddenly, the adversaries drew their weapons, clearly well-prepared for a deadly confrontation that night."Fall back!" shouted a sage.The opponents brandished iron rods, dagger
