The stark contrast between Andyi's successful career and his almost failed relationship due to his parents provided a vivid comparison. This influenced Andyi's decision to allow Jacob into the company.

-

After dinner at Elly's house, Eric and Sylvia returned to the Rosewood Estate.

Meanwhile, Andy headed to a street-side bar where Jacob was already seated in a private booth.

Andy was still angry with Jacob and refrained from drinking the glass Jacob poured for him.

Jacob chuckled. "Andy! I'm your brother! You were just joking this afternoon, right?"

Andy replied sternly, "Joking? Do you think I would joke about something like this with you?"

Seeing Andy's expression, Jacob frowned—he was truly fired.

"Are you serious, Andy?" Jacob asked, "I've only been in the company for a few days, and you're firing me? I've already told my coursemates that I joined the Innova Group. If I go to work somewhere else now, they'll all think I was bragging and lying to them. You can't make me lose

    The following day, Andy found numerous missed call notifications when he turned on his phone. Some were from his mother, and some from his father. Andy chose not to respond, anticipating what his parents would say.Andy arrived at the company after dropping off Elly's kids at school.Jacob hesitated to enter the building and waited outside. Spotting Andy approaching, he quickly greeted him, "Andy! Why aren't you answering Mom and Dad's calls?!"He had been furious all night. His coursemates would undoubtedly mock him if they discovered he got fired from the Innova Group.Andy glanced at him. "Do you think you can pressure me through Mom and Dad? You're mistaken. As I mentioned, do as you please!"Given Jacob's actions, Andy wouldn't let him create more chaos in the company. If Jacob had the capability and followed the company's rules, Andy wouldn't dismiss him.Seeing Andy ignoring him, Jacob grew anxious and called their parents again.-As soon as Andy entered his office, his

    This industry demanded substantial investments in R&D, with labor costs being notably high. The Innova Group diligently managed expenses to uphold the competitiveness of its products. It wasn't just about quality and technology—they also aimed to sustain a competitive advantage in costs and prices for long-term survival.While the Innova Group had the option to easily raise funds, the Salt City authorities proposed taking the company public. Given the Innova Group's technological reserves and market size, going public could result in a conglomerate worth billions. Although individual shares, like Eric's, might be diluted, the financial gain would still be significant.Funds were not a pressing issue for the Innova Group, as companies like theirs often received support from larger entities. The Williams, Sonnexes, and Montgomerys were the Innova Group's backers.Sylvia favored industrial ventures over finance, whereas Eric and Andy leaned toward using technology as the backbone of th

    Elly arranged a table filled with delicious dishes, clearly content with her current situation. She could see Andy's genuine care and love for her, and she was determined not to let his efforts go to waste.After taking a few sips of wine, Eric remarked, "Since you two are an item, I'll set aside time tomorrow to bring Mom to the Rosewood Estate."He had discussed this plan with Sylvia long ago.Initially, Sylvia hesitated about Eric's parents living in the Rosewood Estate permanently. However, with their improved relationship, Sylvia had no objections to Melinda staying with them.Moreover, Andy likely wanted Elly and her two children to move into the new house he had purchased. Elly couldn't entrust her children to Craig and had no intention of being separated from them, especially considering Craig's inability to raise them.Upon hearing Eric's suggestion, Andy said, "That's not necessary. My place has four bedrooms and two living rooms. Apart from our rooms and the children's

    The new house was finished, and they planned to spend the upcoming New Year's there.-They gathered some things the next morning and drove two cars to Nutikiville.The village had transformed significantly, even establishing a place for the elderly to spend their time. Hank aimed to get the village recognized as a model village to improve everyone's lives, a goal requiring a substantial amount of money. The river channel cleanup alone cost over tens of of thousands of dollars, and Eric had provided all the funds.Sitting on the steps, Hank enjoyed the renewed village atmosphere.Nutikiville was gradually becoming the dream place for him and the villagers. The money spent was worth it, improving living conditions, boosting the village's economy, and providing income for many villagers.Exhaling a puff of smoke, Hank noticed a Mercedes-Benz and an Audi driving across the road."Isn't that Eric?" Hank exclaimed. He tossed away his cigarette, extinguished it with his foot, and revv

    Rumors tended to exaggerate as they spread.The sudden surge of construction money in the village sparked envy. Upon inquiry, Nutikiville's residents discovered that Eric had funded the river bank repair and activity area construction. This revelation had surprised them, leading to natural feelings of jealousy.Those unaware might assume Hank had pocketed a significant sum for himself. Who wouldn't want extra cash?Richard and Delilah were confident that Eric had given Hank a substantial amount. In the past, they didn't consider Eric a nephew due to his poverty and wanted a share of the compensation for the land.Now, with Eric's newfound wealth supporting village development, they naturally desired a portion of the money, unsure how to obtain it.However, once the money entered the village committee's account, it became public funds. Anyone who attempted to take it would break the law."Who told you?" Eric asked.He had contributed a total of 200,000 dollars, with over 50,000

    Hank said, "Delilah, are you trying to stir up trouble again? A clean hand needs no washing. If you believe I embezzled the money Eric gave for village development, go ahead and report me!"Delilah didn't expect Hank's audacious response.Just as she was about to say something, Eric intervened, "That's enough. I know how much money was given and where it was spent. Mayor Jenkins, let's go inside and have some tea. I brought some good tea for my dad today.""Sure! Let's go then!" Hank agreed with a smile.Gossip followed wherever people went. Hank was accustomed to individuals like Delilah and stood firm. He was unperturbed by accusations as he had never embezzled any money.Eric headed into the house, and Delilah recognized it was inappropriate for her to persist.Delilah and Richard sensed their unwelcome status in Blake's house. Joining everyone inside might risk being kicked out, an embarrassment they couldn't bear.Inside, Sylvia brewed tea and served it to Eric and Hank.H

    Craig grinned. 'Wow! It seems like you're busy moving. It's only been a while since you moved here, and you're moving again? Are you trying to avoid me? Don't you even want your store anymore?'He was mistaken to think Elly was running away from him.Elly looked at him and retorted, "Stop thinking so highly of yourself."The two kids were thrilled to see Craig, having not seen him for a long time. Throughout this period, Elly had been telling them that Craig was working far away, and they had been eagerly waiting for his return."Daddy!" Both kids looked at Craig eagerly. "Why don't you dress as nicely as before? When can we go back to our big house?"Nobody could keep a secret forever. Craig rubbed the kids' heads and said, "We're not going back now. When I earn a lot of money, we'll buy an even bigger house, okay?""Hurray!" Both of them cheered and clapped their hands. "Remember to work hard and make lots of money. Mom said we'll move to Uncle Andy's house first.""Yeah, Dadd

    "Where's justice? Can she ignore the law and hit someone just because she's the CEO of the Innova Group?"As soon as he finished shouting, a man approached and snatched the phone from his hand, formatted it, and returned it to Craig.After Vince returned the phone, he looked at Craig and asked, "Who can prove that Ms. Williams assaulted you?"Craig froze, not knowing where Vince came from. He noticed the nearby surveillance cameras and smirked, "Do you think formatting my phone will solve everything? There are cameras everywhere!"Craig called the police, and soon, two uniformed officers arrived.Craig hurriedly approached them and said, "Sirs! The CEO of the Innova Group assaulted me! You've got to help me!"The police officer glanced at Craig and frowned. "It's you again?!"Craig chuckled. "No matter who it is, assault is a crime, especially when it's the CEO of the Innova Group doing it!"The officer asked, "Where are you injured?"Craig felt his chest and realized nothing

    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
