"You're getting cocky now," Sylvia remarked. "Have you forgotten what Hol. Thornfield said? You must remain humble."

She worried about Eric becoming arrogant one day.

He chuckled. "I'm just joking, you know? What's the big deal about having a prestigious family? There are plenty of prestigious families in this country."

Eric was right. King City had many individuals from illustrious backgrounds. Still, even if one claimed to have a background, others often had stronger connections. Staying humble and keeping a low profile were the keys to success.

Meanwhile, when Jessica left Orion's residence, she ran into Rafael. He knew that Eric had returned to King City, so the Hernandezes had sent him over.

He grinned at Jessica and said, "Ms. Watson, I didn't expect to see you seeking medical advice from Hol. Thornfield… Oh, my apologies! I should call him Hol. Johnson now!"

Given Eric's medical skills, he deserved to be known as a holistic physician. He could perform Blossom Needling a

    Rafael grew impatient."What's the rush?" Javier quipped, "Patience is a virtue. We should aim for one-shot success!""Yes, Dad!"Rafael admired his father's deep thinking. Everyone would be amazed when that person struck! They didn't notice that Julius was eavesdropping and had sent a message to Grace. After sending it, he wiped the record.-At Montgomery Corp.Grace immediately called Sylvia to confirm that she and Eric had returned to King City and were at Orion's place. She summoned the driver and rushed over. "Mom, what's going on?" Sylvia asked when she saw Grace's rush."I just got a message," Grace said. "It mentioned that person Rafael talked about..."Eric frowned. "Rafael just left here. The person he mentioned is probably connected to us."Grace thought the same, along with the message, which was why she had hurried over."It appears you guys don't know who that person is yet, but the Hernandezes are definitely up to something. We can't let them succeed," she

    A few days later, the group went to the exhibition center. Grace didn't accompany them, but she sent several of the Montgomery family's security personnel to help the Innova Group.Some big international companies organized this cybersecurity conference. The goal was clear: research network security, find talented people, and, most importantly, show the significant influence of these major manufacturers in the field.The Innova Group's equipment was set up, and Andy had his team move it onto the site even before dawn.Usually, these conferences were for a few big international players, but this year, there was an unfamiliar name: the Innova Group.The organizers had every reason to accept their participation. Companies like the Innova Group, eager to break into the industry, were not uncommon for the organizers. Still, in the end, none of them succeeded. They hadn't even heard of the Innova Group, a small company.In the exhibition area, international manufacturers displayed vario

    Before Eric could reply, Jessica continued. "If I had known this was your company, I would have arranged a top-notch booth for you. Hang on, I'll set it up right now.""That's not necessary," Eric said as Jessica took a step. "This location is fine."Jessica felt a little embarrassed. Eric was the first person to turn her down, not just once. She glanced at Sylvia, feeling like she was out of her league. Did Eric love Sylvia for her looks?Jessica couldn't be sure. To ease the awkwardness, she asked, "What's your equipment for?"Eric didn't respond, but Andy was eager to explain. Finally, someone was showing interest in their products."This is the Innova Group's first product, a network firewall. It's essential for big corporations and network operators," Andy quickly clarified."Oh," Jessica replied, realizing she didn't understand this stuff."Perhaps our company could use it. If you launch your products, let me know. We could give them a try," she suggested.Andy was thrill

    Eric was unaware of Jessica's desire to help him.At present, the Innova Group was occupied with configuring their equipment. While many onlookers surrounded the major corporations' booths, the Innova Group had only its staff present.After lunch, the main event commenced. To demonstrate the security of their equipment, international giants had invited top-notch white hat hackers to target their network facilities, with a primary focus on firewall devices. If the firewall were to be breached, it would jeopardize the entire network.Andy felt somewhat nervous, even though their equipment had passed verification. They were newcomers in the industry, after all."No need to be nervous. It's not a big deal if our firewall is breached. I've checked past event records, and our domestic manufacturers always ranked at the bottom. So, even if we perform poorly, we won't drop any lower," Eric reassured him.Andy forced a smile. "Eric, you have such an optimistic outlook. Our products are lik

    Reporters quickly approached the Innova Group, marking the start of their public attention. This was a success for the Innova Group as they hadn't been the first to face a breach, and their firewall remained untouched, affirming its security.This was the first time a domestic company had achieved such results. Before the reporters could conduct interviews, news had already spread online. It hinted at a domestic firm's emergence as a competitor to international giants, whether in the context of global expansion or rivalry.Soon after, a second international manufacturer fell victim to cyberattacks, causing widespread unease.Among the international giants, someone questioned, "Where did their technology originate?"At that point, benchmarking was crucial, and the fact that two major international manufacturers were compromised before others was quite embarrassing. They had always boasted about their advanced and secure equipment.However, the Innova Group used this moment to chall

    The reporters held their microphones right up to Andy's mouth, almost shoving them inside.Andy remained calm and spoke slowly. "It is true that we have referred to the architecture of international manufacturers. But everyone in the industry knows that there's an optimal solution for architecture, and the architectures of the three major manufacturers are quite similar.""Additionally, our device's core algorithms are self-compiled, with complete intellectual property rights."Of course, since the international giants suspect us of plagiarism, they can always buy one of our devices when they are released and study them."Furthermore, if the international giants are accusing us of stealing their technology, why can't they produce a product that is even more reliable than the Innova Group's? Doesn't this seem contradictory?"His final statement completely exposed the facade of the international giants. No matter how great the Innova Group was, it couldn't have possibly stolen the m

    Javier seethed upon seeing the comments about the Innova Group in the news. They claimed the Innova Group would dominate the domestic industry, breaking the international manufacturers' monopoly. There were also analyses of the domestic market, which was valued at tens of billions.This stirred envy in Javier. Could the Innova Group become a massive empire? A formidable one? Javier dared not imagine such a future. He was determined not to give the Innova Group the time and space to flourish.-On the flip side, Andy contained his excitement. He had expected the Innova Group to succeed, but not to this extent.With hard metrics surpassing those of international giants, everything else could be standardized. Mass production and market deployment would commence once all the test facility data was available and some improvements made. Perhaps they would also move forward by segmenting product models and defining price ranges.The Innova Group's employees packed their equipment overnig

    As expected, Andy got arrested. Craig demanded money from him, or things would end badly. One of Craig's eyeglasses had broken, and the glass shards had almost hurt his eye. Such incidents could be major or minor.What rendered Elly speechless was Andy's claim that she was his family member, insisting that she pay the money. Elly had no choice but to inform Eric. Up to that point, she didn't even know if Andy had any family in Salt City.-At the police station.Andy greeted Elly with a smirk.A police officer glared at him and said, "You're laughing after hitting someone. I've never seen someone like you.""He provoked me first!" Andy insisted.While they talked, Craig arrived with a black eye."You jerk!" Craig gnashed his teeth, wishing he could devour Andy."Alright, alright," the police officer interjected. "Stop arguing. It won't solve anything. How much money do you want him to pay?"Usually, these issues were resolved privately, and they only had to file a report sinc

    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
