Henry envied Irvin. The latter had shared drinks with Eric, but Henry hadn't. He had planned to enjoy a few drinks tonight, but it seemed unlikely now.

Given their high social status in Salt City, Eric had expected to feel nervous when he visited the Williams. To his surprise, he felt comfortable.

This encounter changed his view of upper-class families. To him, they appeared no different from regular people.

Eric also noticed that the Williams genuinely cared for Sylvia. This favoritism was why they didn't object when Sylvia wanted to marry him. Additionally, Irvin approved of Eric. Since Irvin was willing to become his sworn brother, Eric couldn't be all that bad.

-

Eric and Sylvia finally left after 9:00 p.m.

Before departing, Amelia gave him a gift with a bank card inside, and Henry did the same.

Eric hesitated, but Sylvia accepted them on his behalf.

"These are gifts from my parents, so you should accept them. Besides, we're legally married now," Sylvia said.

    Sylvia snorted. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Not tonight! You've gotta wait for another month!" "What?!" Eric was stunned.'I have to wait for another month?! How am I going to survive that?!'Sylvia said, "You've waited for 29 years. Can't you wait for just one more month?"Eric pouted. "Well… It's hard… I feel like crying…""Crying?" Sylvia scoffed. "You have someone taking care of you every day, and you're still not satisfied?"She finished wrapping the bandages and said, "Alright, it's done. Stop thinking about all those things. Until you're healed, there's no chance! It's for your own good! If you aggravate your injury, it'll be challenging to recover!"Eric sighed, convinced that no man in the world could resist spending their days with someone as beautiful as Sylvia. When he saw Sylvia lock the door upon entering the room, he knew he had no chance. He had even planned to sneak in around midnight.-The night passed, and the next day arrived. At 10:

    Eric did not want to waste his time on Jasmine. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Williams for lunch.Irvin arrived a little earlier than them. As the leaders of the two prominent families in Salt City, their interactions were quite frequent. Although Henry had temporarily delegated authority in recent years, Irvin knew it was just his way to groom the next Williams generation.If Sylvia and Sylvester could manage Williams Corp. well and take it to greater heights, Henry would have nothing to worry about. He could let his son and daughter manage the company. However, if neither Sylvia nor Sylvester proved capable, Henry would definitely step in and take control of Williams Corp. immediately.Irvin admired Henry's willingness to entrust Sylvia with leadership responsibilities, something he couldn't bring himself to do. Instead, he chose to mentor Keith and allow him to accumulate more experience, avoiding granting him complete control over the entire company. Irvin lacked the c

    Irvin was starting to dislike the wine. He glanced at Misty, wondering if he should let her be with Brook. Then, he could ask Brook to send him some wine bottles and invite Henry to enjoy it properly.As he pondered, Eric and Sylvia returned. Seeing the whole family gathered, Eric finally understood the meal's reason."Brother Eric!" Irvin greeted. "Come join us for some wine. This wine earned your father-in-law's high praise!"Eric noticed it was the wine he had gifted him yesterday. He hesitated to sit down, mindful of Henry being his father-in-law, even though he and Irvin were close as brothers. Keith had also distanced himself earlier."Big Bro, Father, please savor your wine." Eric smiled. "Sylvia and I need to talk."Henry glanced at Eric, appreciating his sensibility.Once the Williams brothers returned, everyone took their seats.Since Eric couldn't drink, only Irvin, Henry, and Grandpa Godrick indulged. After a few rounds, Irvin and Henry were a bit tipsy.Henry hadn'

    Brook didn't understand why his father asked him to take wine to Irvin, but he knew it meant he could finally be with Misty.-In the car.Keith asked, "Dad, why do you insist on having Uncle Eric deliver wine to you? We have plenty of wine bottles at home!"Irvin snorted, "Didn't you notice Henry's arrogant expression? The wine was a gift from Eric, showing off because I don't have a son-in-law!"Hmph! I'll have Brother Eric deliver it, and tomorrow, I'll flaunt it, claiming it's a gift from someone else's son-in-law! Let's see if Brook catches on! Otherwise, there's no hope for him and your sister right now."Keith was speechless at how childish his father was."Dad, did you trade your own daughter for wine? Are you sure I'm your biological daughter?" Misty looked displeased.Irvin chuckled. "Misty, don't think I'm unaware of your secret meetings with that rascal. You're getting too old to stay at home! Plus, the Williams family and our family are a good match now. Uncle Eric

    Eric boldly reached out and held Sylvia's waist. He exhaled near her ear, causing a tickling sensation.Sylvia clenched her teeth, suspecting Eric was doing it intentionally. He seemed experienced.Eric grew impatient but couldn't tell if Sylvia was awake."W-What are you doing?" Sylvia asked."You're awake..." Eric was almost terrified.Sweating profusely, he braced himself for Sylvia's potential anger. She turned to look at him, and her fragrance overwhelmed him.Just as he prepared to make his next move, Sylvia suddenly instructed, "Go take a cold shower."Eric thought they might continue after the shower, but Sylvia added, "It's that time of the month."Eric looked puzzled. "What do you mean, 'that time of the month'?"Sylvia laughed. "Honestly, do you not know, or are you just pretending? If you're unaware, search it online. I don't want to explain it to you!"Eric frowned, opened his phone, and searched. Soon, he looked dejected. "It came last night." Sylvia looked at

    "Hehe!" Irvin smiled and poured the wine into different glasses. He pushed the glasses toward Henry and said, "Henry, give it a taste. These two glasses of wine are quite different!"Henry's mouth twitched, and he tasted both glasses."How is it?" Irvin could not wait to ask, "Can you feel... the different flavors?""It's good!" Henry nodded and left it at that.This left Irvin frustrated. Why did Henry not ask about the significance of these two glasses of wine? He was not playing by the rules!However, with an argument ready, Irvin said with pride, "One bottle is from my prospective son-in-law, and the other is from my sworn brother. Of course, they are good!"Henry thought, 'What's with this fellow? Is he trying to compete in everything?'Then he chuckled and said, "Irvin, it won't be long before I can drink wine from my daughter-in-law!"Irvin's expression froze immediately!He thought he had outsmarted Henry, but the latter used that unexpected move against him!Henry co

    Sylvester didn't say much. It was a relief that Sylvia hadn't been showing up at Williams Corp. lately, causing Lucas to keep his distance. The situation would likely resolve itself when he encountered Lucas again and disclosed Sylvia's marital status.Eric paid little attention to Lucas's presence. Sylvia had been absent from Williams Corp. during this period, denying Lucas a chance to see her. Despite receiving messages from Lucas, her responses were brief, discouraging further conversation.-In the early morning, Sylvester arrived at Williams Corp. As anticipated, Lucas awaited him at the entrance.Sylvester couldn't help but wonder whether Lucas had nothing else to occupy his time after staying in Salt City for several days."Sylvester!" Lucas approached swiftly. "Has Sylvia shown up for work yet?"Sylvester shook his head. "She's been occupied with other matters lately and hasn't been coming to the company. Since you're here, let's discuss this in my office."Sylvester pou

    Gavin had called Fenice to manipulate emotions in his favor. If needed, he would exploit his elderly grandmother to pressure Blake into compliance. His initial goal was to get his father, Richard, released. As for Jared and Kayden, there wasn't much he could do for them at the moment.However, he hadn't anticipated that Blake would prefer to care for Alyssa until her final days rather than give in."Blake, are you really that heartless?" Fenice grew anxious. "If Richard, Jared, and Kayden are sentenced, it'll ruin the family."Blake snorted. "Do you realize how absurd that sounds? Did they care when they hit me with their car or crashed their car with Eric and Sylvia's?"Upon hearing that, Fenice couldn't help but glance at Gavin. He had deceived her. Gavin had told Fenice that Richard and Jared had accidentally hit Blake's but omitted the part about Eric and Sylvia's involvement."Fine, I don't care anymore! I'm sending Mom over to your place!" Fenice declared indignantly.Watch

    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
