Eric understood that operating in the high-tech industry required a substantial amount of money.

Innova Tech was already working on a new product, and it was indeed expensive. Just before New Year's, the company's account held slightly over 1,000,000 dollars, and they had nearly spent it all, primarily due to the high labor costs.

Andy had invested significantly in hiring multiple high-tech professionals with annual salaries starting at tens of thousands of dollars. They also recruited fresh graduates as part of their talent pool, which added to the expenses.

Andy had a forward-thinking perspective. He believed that Innova Tech would face significant challenges, but building a reserve of talented individuals was non-negotiable.

Eric advised, "You should ask the finance department to calculate the additional funds required. I'll manage the financial side of things."

Eric intended to bring the Williams and Sonnex families on board and even considered involving the Montgomerys for ca

    When it came to money, Eric seldom discussed it because everything was well taken care of. On the other hand, Grace was even more generous, mentioning that she could provide as much money as the Innova Group needed.After talking about the investment, Irvin excitedly exclaimed, "Eric, you truly have an incredible talent! From last night until now, Dad has stayed clear-headed. It's nothing short of a miracle!" Irvin was impressed since Josh typically only stayed lucid for a few hours. This time, however, there were no signs of confusion, and Irvin was thrilled.Eric replied confidently, "We should continue the treatment. After tomorrow night's final treatment, Grandpa Josh's illness will be completely cured."Eric was quite confident in this.-In the evening, he administered the second round of treatment to Josh, who remained lucid throughout the process.After the treatment, Irvin playfully asked, "Eric, how about prescribing some medication? We need a truckload of medicine ea

    The topic of the wedding found its way onto Eric's busy schedule. As they left the Sonnex estate, Eric turned to Sylvia and said, "Honey, when you have a moment, ask your parents privately how many guests we should invite for our wedding ceremony."Although they had officially tied the knot over half a year ago, Eric felt that certain formalities should be followed.Sylvia smiled and asked, "Are you serious about this?"Eric replied, "We don't need a big celebration. We can invite only close family and friends. What truly matters is our love for each other."However, Eric shook his head and added, "No, my dear. A wedding happens once in a lifetime, and it should be grand. We need to announce to everyone that I have married you and that you are my wife."In the past, financial constraints had forced Eric to postpone his marriage to Jasmine for nearly nine years. He might have married her much earlier if he had had the money. He was grateful to David and Jasmine that he hadn't marri

    Gary frequently showcased his rich lifestyle on Instagram, giving the impression that he lived a life many would envy."I noticed you didn't respond in the group chat, and I was afraid you wouldn't show up. If you weren't here, our class reunion wouldn't have the same meaning," Gary remarked.Women like Sylvia always attracted attention wherever they went. Sylvia's veil added an air of mystery tonight, intriguing several male classmates. To their knowledge, this stunning beauty was still single.Sylvia simply nodded and remained reserved, consistent with her distant persona from high school. She rarely engaged in conversation, even with her female classmates.Observing Sylvia's cool demeanor, Gary glanced at Eric and asked, "Sylvia, is he your chauffeur?"Gary failed to recognize Eric due to the intimidating scars on his face.Sylvia smiled and replied, "Gary, this is Eric.""What?!" Several classmates exclaimed, scrutinizing Eric for a while before recognizing him. They still r

    Surprise! Eric kept their relationship low-key, but Sylvia didn't.Their fellow classmates were shocked. Did Eric not like Sylvia anymore? Was she not up to his standards? Who would dare to belittle Sylvia? Who would dare to say she wasn't good enough?!After Sylvia's revelation, it became tough for anyone to believe there was nothing between them.Eric scratched his head and remained silent, showing a touch of modesty. Sylvia snorted and stated, "Eric and I got married over half a year ago."Their classmates were shocked once again.Gary stood still. He had thought something was happening between Eric and Sylvia, but he never expected them to be married! If not for Sylvia, he wouldn't have bothered organizing this class reunion!Silence fell over the place.Even Eric's roommates were surprised. In their view, Eric and Sylvia were in different leagues. They had all been living in the school dorms, hailing from rural areas. On the other hand, Sylvia and some classmates had home

    Even now, their conversation remained focused on their high school memories.Eric had a few drinks while Sylvia stuck to fruit juice. As they enjoyed their beverages, Gary approached, holding a wine glass, and he said, "Sylvia, my dear, here's to you."Sylvia smiled faintly and replied, "I'm sorry, but I have to drive later, so I can't have alcohol. Can I have juice instead?"Gary didn't hide his disappointment. After all, she had shared drinks with him at last year's class reunion, so why this change? Was it because Eric was drinking, and she had to drive?With a forced smile, Gary said, "You can always call an Uber later. There are plenty of them waiting at the entrance. If we all stop drinking, they might go out of business."Sylvia wasn't sure how to respond and simply said, "How about Eric drinks for me? Besides, I'm not really up for drinking these days...""Are you pregnant?" Justin blurted out, making the atmosphere tense. Was Sylvia expecting Eric's child?"Yes." Sylvia

    Gary had too much to drink, and he vented his frustration. "Gary, just let them go," someone advised.Gary shrugged it off, saying, "Let them go? I've spent thousands on this gathering. How can I just let it go? It's not that simple!"They must come! I've booked the VIP room, and it's not far from here! Why wouldn't they come? This is disrespectful!"As there was a second part to the gathering, everyone except for Gary had refrained from excessive drinking. Fueled by alcohol, he blocked Sylvia and Eric from leaving.Justin stepped in, positioning himself between Eric, Sylvia, and Gary, and said, "Eric, you two go ahead. We'll handle this."Eric was about to agree, but Gary cut in, "Justin, are you trying to pick a fight? Do you want me to call my buddies to deal with you?"The rest of the classmates disapproved of Gary's arrogant behavior. Such remarks were inappropriate at a gathering.Sylvia took Eric aside and suggested, "Let's go there for a while. Besides, that place is p

    Gary cried in pain, bellowing, "How dare you mess with me?! You'll regret it!"He swiftly grabbed his phone and made a call, which caught Justin and a few friends' attention. They urged, "Eric, Sylvia, you should leave now!"Gary sneered. After ending the call and stashing his phone away, he said, "Leave? No one's leaving! I'll show you who's boss tonight!"Eric wondered about Gary's audacity and his connections in the underworld. He hadn't witnessed anyone under Tiger's influence acting so arrogantly.On the other hand, Sylvia remained calm and took a seat. She felt angry as she remembered Gary's relentless pursuit from their high school days. This venue belonged to her family, and Eric had a strong bond with Tiger. Also, Brook held considerable influence in the underworld. Sylvia wanted to see how much trouble Gary could stir up.Justin anxiously pressed, "Why haven't you left?"Eric smiled and replied, "Let's wait and see. I'm eager to find out his standing in the underworld

    After landing a few hard blows on Gary, David approached Eric, almost addressing him by his full name. However, considering Eric's influential position in the underworld, he quickly changed his approach and said, "Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams, please forgive us."Gary is just my friend, and I haven't been strict enough with him. That's why he acted so recklessly in front of you. My apologies, Mr. Johnson."Gary was shocked. Did David just refer to Eric as Mr. Johnson? Did Eric hold such a high status in Salt City's underworld?David promptly opened three beer bottles, saying, "Mr. Johnson, as a gesture of my sincerity, I'll start by drinking three bottles myself!"He quickly finished all three bottles.Seeing that Eric hadn't spoken yet, David smiled and continued. "Everyone, enjoy the night. I'll cover the expenses here!"David looked at Eric. "Mr. Johnson, if everything is fine, should I take him away now?"Finally, Eric nodded.David breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escort

    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
