After saying that, Eric continued eating.

In the afternoon, Frederick arrived in Salt City for a meal with Sylvester, Henry, Irvin, and Lucas. Sylvia couldn't make it as she had plans with Elly.

Frederick wasted no time and asked Henry why Sonnex Corp. and Williams Corp. were selling their businesses.

Henry's answer was straightforward. He explained that both families welcomed the Pettersons to Salt City and willingly reduced their market share to help them expand. He also apologized for not foreseeing the war between the Montgomerys and Hernandezes, which had disrupted the related markets.

As Frederick sipped his wine, he wondered if Irvin might be the source of this information, having recently returned from King City.

However, Frederick doubted Irvin's connections there remained. Could it just be a coincidence that some unaffected businesses were handed over?

"Bad luck this year." Frederick sighed. "Who could've predicted the major conglomerates in King City would go to war

    That night, Frederick departed from Salt City. He realized that staying there wouldn't be productive. After discussions with Petterson Corp.'s top executives, he concluded that the Williams and Sonnexes had teamed up to deceive them. This infuriated him as it severely impacted Petterson Corp.Even if they had avoided Salt City, the conflict between Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. would still affect them. They had moved some funds to Salt City, which reduced their financial stability in Dortmund City.Despite his frustration, there was little he could do except minimize the corporation's losses and endure the situation.In comparison, Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. had it easier. The war between these major conglomerates didn't significantly affect them. Petterson Corp. bore the brunt of the turmoil. As the battle between Montgomery Corp. and Hernandez Corp. escalated, Petterson Corp. would continuously suffer losses.-"Sylvester! Haven't you finished the evaluation yet?" Lu

    Their roles were crystal clear: Eric handled technical matters, while Andy oversaw company operations. Rarely did they meddle in each other's affairs.Andy did not understand complex technological matters, and Eric was clueless about company operations. However, when they collaborated, it was a harmonious partnership.-The impact grew more significant as the two major conglomerates in King City waged war.The Williams and Sonnexes refrained from extensive business expansion during the corporate war. In this period, blind investments were unwise. Consequently, their focus shifted toward developing the northern district project. Given its local nature, the impact remained minimal.-Recently, Lucas hadn't been bothering Sylvia much, as he was dealing with his own hair loss issues. It had only been a week, yet Petterson Corp.'s Salt City branch was on the brink of collapse, and the corporate war showed no signs of ending.Meanwhile, with Seraphine absent from Salt City, Sylvester

    "If this happens again, it's over," Misty declared.Upon hearing her words, Brook sighed in relief, recognizing that the issue wasn't significant. After having dinner with the Sonnexes, they set out for the Rosewood Estate. During the journey, Eric periodically checked the rearview mirror, his brow slightly furrowed."What's the matter?" Sylvia asked."Why do I get the feeling someone's tailing us?" Eric replied, his eyes fixed on the mirror.Sylvia also glanced at the mirror but saw nothing unusual among the many cars on the road."I hope not," she said with a smile.Initially, Sylvia suspected the Hernandez family might be involved, but given their ongoing war with the Montgomerys, it seemed unlikely for them to send someone to Salt City.-Back at the Rosewood Estate.While Sylvia was taking a bath, Eric quietly slipped into his old room to search for the agreement they had signed when they got married. He intended to burn it.Unfortunately, after a prolonged search, he

    Sylvia pursed her lips and said, "I suspect someone from the Hernandezes is behind this."Upon reflection, she realized that the Hernandezes were the only possible culprits tailing them. Grace had hinted that the Hernandezes might catch wind of something following her arrival in Salt City. It was highly likely they were already aware of Eric's existence.Eric remained silent, knowing that Grace and the Hernandezes' conflict was largely because of him. But now, amidst this dispute, would the Hernandezes find time to focus on him?"I'll contact Brook and have him investigate," Sylvia stated.Brook had connections in the underworld, making it relatively easy for him to dig into the matter. Eric had considered reporting to the police, but he understood they wouldn't mobilize their resources just because someone was tailing him."Alright," Eric agreed and watched as Sylvia made the call. He pondered whether they were tracking Sylvia instead of him, but regardless, caution was paramou

    Andy was about to speak, but Craig quickly interrupted, saying, "The kids are awake, and Elly is taking care of them. She asked me to watch the shop."Eric and Sylvia became even more puzzled upon hearing that.Had Elly and Craig reconciled? This didn't seem right. If they had reconciled, why would Andy still be there?Andy was getting irritated. "Craig, didn't you only dare to come in after Elly left?" he said.He was quite impressed by Craig's ability to make up stories. And why was he being asked to watch the shop? Elly hadn't permitted him to enter in the first place.Eric believed Andy. He knew that the relationship between Elly and Craig had reached a point of no return. From Craig's betrayal to the mistreatment of the children, Elly would never forgive him.While Andy and Craig were talking, Elly returned. The moment she saw Craig, she became furious. However, she controlled her anger and said, "Craig, please leave."Craig smirked and replied, "Elly, give me a chance. Eve

    Eric held Sylvia close and said, "I don't care about your beauty, even though you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. That's not what matters to me."Sylvia was very happy, whether or not Eric's words were true. For him, her beauty and wealth didn't matter. What truly mattered was the journey they had been through together and the care she showed him.Eric didn't fully grasp the concept of love, but this would be it if love had a shape. At least, that's how it felt to him.They spent the evening playing with the children before returning to the nail salon.Andy hadn't returned since they left in the morning, surprising Eric with his compliance. However, it seemed Andy still hadn't realized his mistake. One should never tell a woman she had gained weight. Elly had been taking care of the children, so a little weight gain was normal.-Eric and Sylvia returned to the Rosewood Estate around 9:00 p.m.Sylvia immediately called Brook to ask if anyone had been following them t

    "Hey, where's Brook? He was here last month," Georgia asked.Sylvia replied, "I didn't let him know I was coming today. He has a girlfriend now, so he'll probably be quite busy for a few months.""Brook has a girlfriend, too?" Georgia was thrilled. "That's fantastic! I thought he'd be single forever! Sylvia, Eric, stay here. I'll go call the kids. They'll be so happy to see you!"In no time, a group of children came running and cheering toward Sylvia."Ms. Williams!" The children enthusiastically shouted as they ran toward Sylvia, their faces brimming with joy.A little girl sprinted the fastest and was the first to reach Sylvia. She peered at Sylvia's bag and asked with curiosity, "Ms. Williams, what's in the bag? Is it something yummy?""Yes, I'm sure you'll all like it!" Sylvia gently patted the little girl's head and told the children, "Everyone, form a line. I've brought something tasty. I'll distribute them one by one, so please be patient, okay?"The children quickly line

    "Well, I've definitely come out ahead this time!" Sylvia exclaimed joyfully.Eric chuckled. "I'm even better off. I married a beautiful and wealthy wife. I'm the ultimate winner in life!"The two of them chatted and soon arrived at the nail salon.Andy was there again, but this time Elly ignored him. When he saw Sylvia and Eric, he scratched his head and looked at Eric pleadingly.Eric raised an eyebrow, thinking that Andy really had patience when it came to his sister. She kicked him out yesterday, yet there he was again. However, Eric also knew that determination and persistence were important when trying to win someone over.Eric pulled Andy aside and asked, "Andy, what did you do to upset my sister yesterday?"Andy looked puzzled and replied, "Upset her? I don't think so! I thought she was mad at me because I didn't stop Craig from entering the nail salon."Andy's inability to understand women rendered Eric speechless.He said, "Think carefully. Try to remember everything t

    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
