Alexander was at a loss for words. Thirty years had faded the once intense emotions. Grace and Julius were no longer the young couple in their 20s. Back then, they loved each other, and nothing else mattered.

The present-day Grace clearly no longer had any interest in Julius, and Eric couldn't care less.

After dinner, Eric went to Matteo's place to treat his injuries.

While the silver needle was still in place, Matteo chuckled and remarked, "You really are the Hernandezes' bane. Their influence in the underworld has vanished, and I heard they lost a significant sum in the first underground match tonight."

When the Hernandezes had sway in the underworld, they could manipulate match outcomes. However, times had changed.

Eric was not well-versed in the underworld's matters in King City or Salt City. He had no response when he heard that the Hernandezes were facing setbacks and losses, puzzling Matteo.

Logically, he should be delighted to hear such news, but Eric remained indifferent

    Eric stumbled and hit the floor with a heavy thud, caught off guard. Despite his martial arts practice, there was no way he could escape unscathed from such a move. Sylvia patted her hand and returned to her seat, convinced that the person before her was an imposter. After all, the real Eric would have easily countered her with his skills. "Honey, what was that for?" Eric stood up with a gloomy expression. "I'm the real Eric. Give me the passphrase!"It was only at that moment that he realized Kenneth had disrupted his life."Oh my!" Sylvia suddenly realized and stuck her tongue out. "So you're real?! I'm so sorry about that. You can throw me as well if you want."Sylvia was sure the current Eric was real because only he knew the passphrase.Eric was rendered speechless.While tidying her desk, Sylvia asked, "Why did you come back suddenly? Is everything in King City sorted?""More or less," Eric replied. "Things are stable in the holistic medicine community. I also took the

    Eric and Sylvia's days were pretty ordinary. After enjoying the wealthy lifestyle of a prominent family for decades, Sylvia loved the authenticity of their current life.After dinner, the couple returned to their room to rest.In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang.Eric quickly answered when he saw it was a call from Brook. "What's the matter, Brook?" he asked."Eric!" Brook sounded urgent. "Tiger is in trouble."Eric snapped awake instantly. Sylvia, disturbed, asked, "Eric, what's going on?""Brook just called," Eric replied. "He said Tiger is in trouble, so I need to go check it out.""I'll go with you!" Sylvia insisted.-After quickly preparing, the couple rushed to Tiger's residence. The area around Tiger's home was cordoned off, indicating something serious had happened.Eric, Sylvia, and Brook happened to arrive at the same time. Upon receiving the call, Brook had first informed Eric and then rushed there from the William residence.Without wasting much

    Tiger had established his own empire in Salt City through his fists. However, there was a looming possibility that he might not be able to rely on force in the future.Naturally, Tiger felt sad but swiftly adjusted his mindset. He nodded and said, "If force is not an option, then so be it. As long as we preserve our lives, it's sufficient."As he spoke, a group of people entered. The leader at the front wore a stern expression and said, "Mr. Kirbky, I apologize! We lost track of the person."Tiger frowned, slammed the table, and stood up, declaring, "Retrieve the surveillance footage. I want a clear image of his face sent to our team! I refuse to believe he can escape!"Tiger was seething with anger, having suffered a significant loss.The surveillance footage was promptly retrieved, and Eric swiftly identified the person on the screen."Chase?!" Eric exclaimed.Never had he expected that Chase would be the one attempting to assassinate Tiger. It suddenly made sense; Chase was o

    Eric and Sylvia had breakfast in the morning, and then they headed to Elly's nail salon.Sylvia intended to take a two-day break to attend to some personal matters before returning to work. Only Elly was in the store, as Andy had already dropped off the boys at school before heading to work. He was truly dedicated."Why do you have time to come today?" Elly seemed surprised when she saw Eric and Sylvia. The couple hadn't visited the shop in several days."We've finished our work and came to see you, Elly," Sylvia said with a cheerful smile.From Elly's expression, it seemed like she hadn't been greatly affected by Colin and Lily.Sylvia continued. "Elly, Andy just moved into the new house, right? Why don't you stay with him?""This place is fine," Elly replied. "Besides, Andy worked so hard for it. I didn't contribute anything, so why should I move in?"She was never greedy, and even though Andy had suggested she move in, she declined. There were too many issues and differences

    A few days later, Brook and Misty's wedding took place as planned. It was the first celebration of its kind in the Williams family for decades since Henry and Amelia's wedding.Both families were well-known in Salt City, and they were a perfect match in terms of social status. The wedding was held at the Williams family estate."Eric," Irvin said, taking a deep drag on his cigarette. "If Misty ever faces any issues in the Williams family, you must support her!"Marrying off his daughter was a difficult decision for Irvin. Fortunately, Eric held some influence as a son-in-law of the Williams family."Don't worry, Big Bro," Eric reassured with a smile. "Brook won't dare mistreat her!"Irvin was relieved. Despite his unique background, Eric had always been treated well by the Williams family. Given the circumstances, they wouldn't dare mistreat Misty.The Williams family cherished Misty as their daughter-in-law. Brook and Misty's love was genuine, and they had the support of the Cel

    However, trouble-seekers were always around.While Eric was conversing with Tiger, Sylvia headed into the room to offer assistance. As she left, some young members of the Williams family approached.Eric recognized their faces, but their introduction was recent.The leading young man, Dickson Williams, was of the same age as Eric, hailing from the northern branch of the Williams family. He had the most to say about Eric's presence. It was a family affair to him. Since Eric was a son-in-law of the Williams family, Dickson had a say in it.Dickson asked with a smirk, "I wonder, what's your role in Williams Corp.? Your presence... won't tarnish Williams Corp.'s image, will it?"Tiger raised an eyebrow, sensing that troublemakers had arrived. However, he stayed silent since this was a family matter and didn't want to meddle.Eric smiled. "I've never held a position at Williams Corp."This response baffled them. How could Eric not have a position at Williams Corp.? Little did they kn

    Tiger burst into laughter. He was just around 50 years old, so it wouldn't be right to call him an old man.Suddenly, a young man standing next to Dickson was astonished and handed his phone to Dickson. With a single look, Dickson was rendered speechless.Considering the Innova Group's current recognition and reputation, a quick online search would provide a wealth of information.Dickson's face turned red. The information he saw indicated that Sylvia was the CEO of the Innova Group, and Eric, the CIO, was one of the founders.The Innova Group was well-known as a pioneering high-tech company, daring to challenge international industry giants and forging its path forward. Online praise for the Innova Group was remarkably high.Dickson felt ashamed for mocking the founder of a prominent high-tech company in the country, so he walked away.The Innova Group was by no means inferior to Williams Corp. Even though he didn't understand the Innova Group's sector, he knew its potential for

    The wedding went well. After the big celebration, Brook and Misty began their honeymoon.Amelia expressed her concern to Sylvia and Eric, "You two should take a break from work and go on a vacation. Explore a bit!"Amelia was unaware Sylvia and Eric had already been on a honeymoon, although not to popular international destinations. Her main goal was to encourage them to have a baby sooner."Mom!" Sylvia replied, annoyed. "Why are you concerned about this? Our life remains the same no matter where we are. Besides, the Innova Group is very busy right now, and we can't just take time off!"Sylvia didn't value leisure and saw it as impractical. As long as a couple had a strong relationship, the location didn't matter.Amelia sighed, feeling that Sylvia and Eric were leading a rather peaceful life.Henry flicked some cigarette ash and continued. "Life should be peaceful. Besides, the Innova Group has just started, and there's a lot to be done. We can consider these other matters when

    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
