The receptionist was left puzzled.

Sylvia playfully pinched Eric's arm. "Aren't you worried about upsetting Lucas?"

Eric grinned. "Why should I be afraid? I've already sent flowers to my wife openly."

Upon hearing that, Sylvia hooked her arm through Eric's, and they stepped into the elevator.

Outside, Lucas seethed with anger. He decided to enter the building, determined to confront Eric.

-

At present, Eric was focused on his work in the central control room.

"Eric!" Lucas called out sternly.

"What brings you here?" Eric responded calmly, not pausing in his tasks.

Lucas frowned. "You don't seem like a prominent family's heir. Do you even know who Sylvia is?"

Eric chuckled. "I didn't at first, but now I do. She's Williams Corp.'s CEO and the Williams family's heiress."

Lucas nodded. "Now that you know, why do you persist with Sylvia?"

Eric grew confident, setting down his computer and approaching Lucas. "Firstly, Sylvia and I are legally married, and our relationship is soli

    Once Lucas left, Eric immersed himself in work. To him, Lucas was nothing more than a clown.-After leaving Williams Corp., Lucas purchased some gifts and headed to the Williams family's mansion. Henry greeted him with a smile, "Lucas, I've been eager for your visit since I heard you were in Salt City."Lucas felt pleased by these words. There had been occasional interactions between the Williams and Petterson families due to their business collaborations."Uncle Henry, I've been quite busy since arriving in Salt City. Today is the first chance I've had to visit you. I apologize for the delay," Lucas said.Henry smiled, recognizing Lucas's tactfulness despite his youth. Still, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Lucas had time to visit Williams Corp. and even send flowers to Sylvia, but no time for a visit? It seems a bit peculiar.'Henry nodded. "As the heir to a prominent family, you must be quite occupied. Young people should work hard while they are still young and strive to ach

    At that time, Henry was trying to convince Lucas that the Williams family had no objections to Eric becoming their son-in-law. He hoped that Lucas would give up on pursuing Sylvia.Lucas felt frustrated. He couldn't understand why the Williams family had accepted a son-in-law involved in illegal fights.Henry had already made it clear they would support Sylvia's choice unconditionally. Eric had even improved the relationship between the Williams and the Sonnex families. From every angle, Henry had no reason to oppose Eric.Upon realizing he couldn't make any progress with Henry, Lucas left after a brief chat.Once in his car, he took out his phone and made a call."Brother, she's married!" There was a hint of discontent in his voice.After a moment of silence, a faint voice came through. "Find a partner to work with in Salt City now."With that, the call was disconnected.Holding his phone, Lucas thought for a moment and quickly found a suitable candidate.-Meanwhile, at Wil

    Gavin was heartbroken. When Blake approached, he stared at him with hostility. "I will write a letter of support if you compensate me with 200,000 dollars. Not a penny less!" Blake said."Blake!" Hearing that Blake was still concerned about money, Fenice was livid. "Mom just passed away, and you're still thinking about money?! Have you gone crazy?"Blake snorted. "They did not hit your husband or your son and daughter-in-law! Those who have not experienced the hardships of others should not advise them on goodness!""200,000 dollars, not a penny less!" Blake was furious. If it were not for the sudden death of their mother, he would not have compromised!Fenice sighed. While she understood Blake's difficulties, she felt it was inappropriate to demand money for reconciliation at a time like this. "Fine! 200,000 dollars it is!" Gavin said, "But Uncle Blake, give me two days, as this is not a small sum."Alyssa's death had ironically saved him 100,000 dollars, and he was no long

    "It took Eric and Sylvia each contributing 10,000 dollars in funds to get the road repaired! Do you know what Richard did? He actually asked me to return that 20,000 dollars to him!"They even wanted to run over Blake, Eric, and Sylvia with their car for the land compensation. I think they deserve to be in jail!"The reputation of Nutikiville Village has been tarnished by all of you!"Thinking about these issues enraged Hank. Also, Delilah failed to acknowledge Richard's wrongdoings and shifted all the blame onto Blake. How could Hank not be angry?After Hank confronted Delilah, Ruby also became more composed. They needed to obtain documents from the village council, so it wasn't wise to upset Hank. If they required any documents in the future, Hank might intentionally delay them, causing trouble. After all, Hank enjoyed a good reputation in Nutikiville.Upon hearing Hank's words, several women approached Ruby and inquired, "Ruby, did Jared really plan to run over Blake with his c

    "Richard!" When Richard returned, Delilah rushed toward him, tears streaming down her face. "You've lost weight!"Her heart ached. It had been two weeks since Richard and the others got arrested.Meanwhile, Ruby wept beside her. Ever since Jared and Kayden were taken away, Ruby lost her appetite and couldn't think of anything else. She relied on Gavin to handle everything. Both families were in despair as if facing a major disaster.Blake and his family observed in silence. Now that Richard was out, Blake didn't have to organize Alyssa's funeral on his own. They gathered and checked if they had notified all the relatives.Blake stayed quiet. Eric and Sylvia didn't participate either. They were waiting for Alyssa's cremation.Regardless of how poorly Alyssa had treated Blake during her life, people died, and debts should be forgiven. As descendants, they had to fulfill their filial duties.-In the evening, Eric and his family returned to the hotel.Blake gathered everyone and s

    "Not my car! I just bought my car a year ago, and I usually use it to transport my wife and children. It's bad luck to put ashes in it!" Gavin said.He drove a BMW 5 Series, an expensive luxury car. Having come from a rural background, he was very superstitious and believed it was unlucky to transport ashes in his car.Kayden also chimed in. "Not my car either. I plan to sell my car, and it'll be harder to sell if it's been used to transport ashes!"He was driving a used car he had purchased from a second-hand dealership.The priest gazed at the Johnsons and remarked, "Even if you don't use your own cars, you should have rented one beforehand! Didn't you plan anything?"He grew frustrated at how they handled such minor matters. Richard objected, "What about their cars? Why not offer theirs? Elly's car is worth only a few thousand. Let's use hers!"Blake had mentioned renting a car last night, but Richard and Jared had ignored him. Using Fenice's car never crossed their minds, e

    Delilah had raised all those chickens and ducks! "Aunt Delilah!" Eric's voice quivered with anger. "Why did you bring chickens and ducks to my house?""Oh my!" Delilah exclaimed while driving the chickens and ducks away. "You guys are so well-off, settling down in Salt City. This house was empty anyway. The rain wrecked my chicken and duck pens, and I lost a lot of livestock!"What are you waiting for? Help me chase them back!"Sylvia couldn't find her words."What about the stuff in our house?" Although Blake's house wasn't fancy, it served as a place for Eric and Elly when they returned to their hometown."The stuff in the house? It's all junk. I tossed it a while ago!" Delilah replied.Eric's face darkened. If Delilah weren't related to them, he would have cursed her already!"What are you doing? Move aside!" Delilah shouted as Eric blocked her way. She even believed she had not done anything wrong."Elly, call our parents and Mayor Jenkins," Eric instructed.Elly handed

    Upon hearing the possibility of imprisonment, Delilah exclaimed, "Why would they send me to jail? Is this such a big deal?"The police officer glanced at Delilah and explained, "Damaging public or private property intentionally, resulting in a loss of more than 500 dollars, is considered intentional destruction of property. It could result in up to three years in prison, detention, or a fine."Delilah was startled but quickly regained her composure. "They have nothing in that house, just a few rundown rooms. It's not a big deal!""I lost my television!" Eric's face darkened. "I bought that TV for over 300 dollars last year!""Suspected of theft of property? That's a serious offense!" The police officer frowned.The situation seemed even more complicated than they had imagined. It was no longer a matter that could be resolved through mediation."Let's go," the police officer told Delilah."G-Go where?" She started to panic.At that moment, neighbors from all around had gathered.

    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
