Sylvia expressed doubt, but Eric reassured her, "I'm sure Big Bro's family is well-off, but our bond as sworn brothers transcends money. I don't expect him to give me anything or help me in any way. Just like our relationship, I could exploit it for personal gain, but I am not that kind of person. I could never stoop so low."

He continued. "We just need to endure for another three years. You'll achieve your goal by then, and I'll receive what I deserve. It will be a happily-ever-after story."

Eric generously said, cutting off any further objections from Sylvia, "Alright, take your time eating. When you're finished, just leave everything here. I'll clean up later."

Before Sylvia could respond, Eric swiftly rose from his seat and retreated to his room.

Seeing Eric close the door to his room, Sylvia suddenly felt an unexpected sense of unease. Had she made a grave mistake by extending her control over Williams Corp.? This rare moment of doubt shook her to the core.

    Andy found himself pleasantly surprised to discover the impressive reputation his company had garnered in the industry. How was he not aware of it before?The mention of Innova Tech by the CEO of Sonnex Corp. alone was a valuable form of recognition. Regardless of the outcome of this bid, Innova Tech's name would undoubtedly become well-known.The representative from Westman Technology was also present and gnashed his teeth in frustration while witnessing the attention focused on Andy. He wondered, 'Why did Mr. Sonnex mention Innova Tech and not Westman Technology? What's going on?'Irvin took a moment to look at Andy, feeling a tinge of regret, before speaking. "There are many companies present here today, so let's begin as soon as possible." He gave a light nod at Keith, and the bidding conference of Sonnex Corp. officially commenced! -Meanwhile, at Williams Corp."Wow, what brings Innova Tech here? Did you come all this way just to witness Westman Technology secure the bid

    As Eric submitted his proposal, his gaze lingered on Sylvester for a brief moment.Sylvester responded with a warm smile.Eric let out a soft sigh. Sylvester, the charismatic vice president of Williams Corp., possessed not just wealth but also undeniable handsomeness. Even Eric, as a man, couldn't help but find Sylvester attractive, let alone women."Everyone, please be patient while we assess the proposals," Sylvester announced, rising from his seat along with several evaluators. Their departure signified that the winning bid announcement would soon follow their return.Usual bidding processes entailed several steps, but Williams Corp. seemed to be just going through the motions. They didn't require an extensive procedure, and it wouldn't take much time for them to come to a decision.A curious glance was directed at Sylvia. "Aren't you supposed to be working?" Eric asked her quietly. It seemed she had no pressing tasks and had chosen to accompany him for the bidding."No rush,"

    Sylvester addressed the room, his voice commanding attention. "Just two days after we sent out the invitations, Mr. Johnson from Innova Tech arrived at Williams Corp. for an on-site inspection, where he meticulously identified numerous issues."In response to the existing problems at Williams Corp., Innova Tech provided targeted explanations and made pertinent modifications to their proposal."Compared to the proposals submitted by other companies, Innova Tech's offering was the most specific, detailed, and tailored to the needs of Williams Corp. If anyone here still suspects any foul play in this bid..." Sylvester picked up Eric's proposal and handed it to those around him, declaring, "Pass Innova Tech's proposal around for everyone to see. Once you've read it, I believe any doubts will be dispelled."The proposal was circulated among the attendees. When it reached David, he didn't even look at it. In Eric and Andy's company, it was evident that the proposal must have originated fr

    Innova Tech had just started, so how could it have been chosen to take on Sonnex Corp.'s project?Irvin wore a smile as he posed a question, "Easy... Whose brainchild is Innova Tech's brilliant plan? Yours or Eric's?"Andy was taken aback. How did the CEO of Sonnex Corp. know Eric?"Well... Eric handled the technical aspects of the entire plan since he's an expert in that area. It may not be the best in the business, but I assure you, it's of top-notch quality," Andy replied. He was well aware of Eric's technical skills, especially since Eric was the mastermind behind David Westman's rapid success.Pleased with the response, Irvin nodded. He believed that anyone could handle this project, and the outcome would be more or less the same. So why not entrust it to Eric, especially when his plan was solid?"If you're here... does that mean Eric is meeting with Williams Corp.?" Irvin asked.Andy nodded. "Yes, he is. With two major corporations seeking partnership at the same time, we h

    Eric remained stupefied for a moment, his suspicions about Irvin's position confirmed. He had always thought Irvin was the boss of some company, but to learn that he was the CEO of Sonnex Corp., one of the twin business titans in Salt City, was a shock.Eric remembered sending his resume to Sonnex Corp. after graduating, only to be rejected. Ironically, he ended up working for the same corporation through a serendipitous turn of events.The revelation stirred a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts. Andy's call snapped Eric back to reality. "Eric, hey!""Yeah, I know Mr. Sonnex, and I think that played a role in us getting this project. As for why we were chosen for Williams Corp.... I'm not sure. Maybe we can speculate once we're back in our office."Truth be told, Eric had a theory, a rather insane one. What if Sylvia was the CEO of Williams Corp.? It would explain why Innova Tech landed their project. He hung up the call and returned to the office where Kenny was waiting. To confir

    Coincidentally, it was Irvin who made the call instead. The phone rang for a while before Eric finally picked it up. "Hey, bro—"He stopped himself mid-greeting and went for a more formal approach. "Mr. Sonnex?""'Mr. Sonnex'? God, Eric, why address me that way? We're sworn brothers now, and this is definitely not how brothers address each other!"Eric laughed dryly as Irvin continued. "So, how was it? Quite the surprise, wasn't it? Ha!"Eric pouted. "Surprise? It was a shock! It could have given me a heart attack when Andy told me all about it!" he grumbled. "Why didn't you tell me you're the CEO of Sonnex Corp.?"This revelation made it difficult for Eric to treat Irvin like an ordinary friend. They were now two people occupying different positions in society. How was he supposed to call a magnate his "bro" without feeling awkward?Irvin, however, simply guffawed. "It's your fault for not asking!" he jocularly retorted. "Have you ever asked me who I am? What kind of work I do?

    Sylvia's shadow stretched over the pavement, a solitary figure in the embrace of the night. Yet, her beauty remained untouched, and Eric found her back alluring.Eric parked the car and called out to her, but she didn't respond. He had to step out of the car and raise his voice before Sylvia finally glanced back, surprise shadowing her face. "You? I thought you were celebrating your victory with your colleagues."She had read his message and expected him to return much later in the night. Why wouldn't he? It wasn't every day their company secured two projects from the city's major players."I thought a celebratory dinner would suffice. They wanted to go to a club or karaoke, but I'm not fond of those places," Eric replied.That was his nature—direct and sometimes aloof. He had been declining such parties since he started working at Westman Technology."Do you want to go home or continue walking?" he asked, prepared to go home if she chose the latter.Unexpectedly, she replied, "A

    Eric waved. "I consider myself lucky to have a strong heart. That revelation could have given me a heart attack! But that's not important right now. I remember you've been having trouble acquiring land owned by the Sonnex family, right? Well, I can help you with that. Maybe Irvin will actually agree."Sylvia had been considering this idea for a while, but hearing Eric say it so plainly made it even more enticing. If she could obtain more land, she could resolve most of the issues plaguing Williams Corp.However, she resisted the urge to let her desire spill into her words. "Don't jeopardize your friendship for my sake. It might strain your relationship with Irvin too soon."You come from a humble background, Eric. If you rely solely on your own strength, climbing up the social ladder could be difficult. You're more likely to fail and crash."But with Irvin's help, you can go far. The fact that he sees you as a worthy brother means he values your character. I believe he'll gradually

    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
