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
Eric stood up and introduced Stealthbane. "As you all witnessed, this man is an expert, and he has some very skilled subordinates."This morning, we received some distressing news. Foreign pharmaceutical companies came to us to buy supplies to combat the Haevon virus, but those suppliers have all encountered trouble. They’ve either been assassinated or had their supplies burned."Since they dared to deal with these people, the vaccine is a powerful weapon that can strike at their heart."But right now, I don’t have enough manpower. You can go abroad with the vaccine to seek revenge. Don’t worry about the expenses. I will cover all your costs for future operations."Upon hearing this, Jack didn’t hesitate and immediately said, "Let’s do it!"The second batch of the vaccine was ready for shipment. The pharmaceutical companies were too scared to buy it, knowing it was not just a cure but also a death warrant from the Innova Group. Anyone daring to touch the Innova Group’s vaccine wou
Since the outbreak of the virus in Haevon, Themos' days had been far from easy. He spent his time sighing deeply."We're out of money! Completely out!" he lamented.The three major international companies had cut off his funding. They were struggling to survive themselves and had no extra resources for Themos. Or perhaps their money was allocated elsewhere.As Themos was lamenting his ill fate, just as he was about to make significant strides, Eric arrived.In an instant, Themos' eyes lit up when he saw Eric, regarding him as a savior. He rushed to greet him. "Mr. Johnson! What brings you here?"At this critical moment, when he desperately needed funds, Themos felt that Eric's visit was likely an offer to acquire his company. Even though most of it belonged to three giants, Themos could still walk away with his share and live quite comfortably.He eagerly poured coffee for Eric and his companions.Eric pushed the coffee aside and asked, "Tell me, how many people have come to Sal
As they were chatting, Sylvia suddenly felt nauseous. "What's wrong?" Eric asked.Sylvia pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth. "I think something I ate for lunch is bothering me. I feel like I might throw up."Eric was slightly startled and immediately grabbed Sylvia's wrist to check her pulse.In an instant, his face lit up with joy."W-What's going on?" Sylvia was still a bit confused. She was feeling nauseous, and he was getting excited?Eric exhaled a breath, hardly daring to believe it. "Vee, you're... pregnant!""Wha... What?"After the initial shock, tears rolled down Sylvia's cheeks. She had waited so long for this day! Ever since giving birth to Yvette, she had wanted a second child, preferably a son for Eric. But despite her longing, her belly had remained stubbornly unresponsive. Sylvia had even started to worry that something was wrong with her body after giving birth to Yvette.Finally, she was pregnant!"Let's go! Time to take leave and focus on nurtur
