Sylvia remained silent, steadily downing the ten glasses. However, after a moment, dizziness set in. Typically, these ten glasses would be a breeze for her, but she drank too hastily today. Her inherent beauty was already striking, and now, her rosy cheeks added an extra allure.

"Mr. House, I've had ten glasses of wine. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise now?" she asked.

Frankie smiled faintly, gesturing to two companions who accompanied him.

"You've indeed finished my ten glasses, but you haven't finished theirs yet!" he pointed out.

Sylvia's expression changed.

Even Mell couldn't bear it and remarked, "Mr. House, this is a bit much. Why didn't you clarify before drinking?"

Frankie shrugged. "You didn't ask..."

Mell was annoyed.

Frankie continued pouring the wine, saying, "Ms. Williams, you've had ten glasses. What's wrong with another ten? Considering the Innova Group's current revenue, these drinks could bring in more money. Doesn't Ms. Williams want that?"

"Mr. House, take

    Leaving the restaurant, Mell assisted Sylvia into the passenger seat, and a strong smell of alcohol hit Eric's nose."How much did you drink? Is everything settled?" Eric asked.In his opinion, there was no reason not to settle things after drinking so much. Otherwise, why drink so much in the first place?Shaking her head, Sylvia mumbled, "Eric... I messed up."Confused, Eric looked at Mell sitting in the back.Mell explained the situation.After listening, Eric just smiled faintly. "You didn't mess up anything. It's just a minor issue."-Eric dropped off Mell at her home and then returned to the Rosewood Estate, carrying Sylvia into the room. Although she claimed to have messed up, Sylvia slept soundly without a care in the world.The next morning, she woke up feeling a bit dizzy.She vaguely remembered Mell helping her into the car the night before. Seeing the familiar surroundings, she sighed in relief but noticed the absence of Eric by her side.As she got up, Eric ent

    When they reached Eric's office, news of the issue had already spread throughout the company.Andy and Eric set out to find Sylvia, both puzzled by the sudden appearance of tax authorities and the suggestion of suspending operations."There shouldn't be any problems with our finances!" Andy exclaimed. "Even if there are minor issues, it shouldn't lead to a suspension. What's going on? Is someone retaliating against us?"Eric replied, "It's a long story. But no matter what, we can't afford a suspension. Andy, let's check the finance department first. Sylvia, you wait here with Mell."They hurried to the finance department, where the manager was sweating with anxiety."Mr. Hall, what's going on?" Andy asked.The manager wiped his forehead and replied, "I don't know either. They're still investigating, but they mentioned the possibility of suspending operations!"Feeling outraged, Andy pressed on, "It's been almost a day since you started investigating. If you want us to suspend op

    Irvin poured the wine and raised his glass. "Come, let's have a toast!"Eric and Sylvia joined in, raising their glasses and clinking them with Irvin.Eric was hesitant to dive into business matters immediately, so he decided to open with a lighter topic."Big Bro, how is the development between Keith and Valerie?" he asked.Irvin glanced sternly at Keith and sighed. "I'm so pissed whenever I talk about this. Once Valerie returned to Dortmund, he stopped contacting her!"Despite getting older, Keith still didn't have a girlfriend, a fact that naturally concerned Irvin. Sighing again, Irvin lifted his glass and continued. "Eric, since you're close to Roland. Could you help him put in a good word?""Don't worry. I will," Eric said with a reassuring smile.Although Keith and Valerie didn't harbor romantic feelings for each other, Eric believed that a deeper connection could develop between them over time, much like his own evolving relationship with Sylvia. They were initially dist

    Irvin poured a glass of wine for Elijah, who promptly declined, "Irvin, I have to work overtime later, so I won't drink."Taking a sip of wine, Josh broached the topic directly. "Elijah, I heard that some of your departments are involved in activities that shouldn't see the light of day. Have you heard anything about it?"Upon hearing the phrase "activities that shouldn't see the light of day", Elijah's expression sank. It was likely more serious than covert activities since Josh had heard about it.Elijah felt awkward. "I'm sorry, Mr. Sonnex. I have no information about it. Can you tell me?"Josh gestured toward Eric and Sylvia. "I'm sure you're familiar with Sylvia. This man here is Eric, Henry's son-in-law and a good friend of mine."Elijah was taken aback and glanced at Eric a few more times.Josh continued. "Apart from that, Eric is also the founder and CIO of the Innova Group. Of course, these are nothing compared to his other identity, which is even more noteworthy!"Elij

    Knowing the problem made it easier for Elijah, who also understood why Josh had called him there. If he couldn't handle this matter well, it could lead to serious consequences that might affect the future of Salt City."Don't worry, everyone. I promise I'll handle this, but I want to see how arrogant my subordinates have become," Elijah declared."Go ahead," Josh said nonchalantly.Initially wanting to leave, Elijah hesitated as Josh insisted he stay and have a few bites. Josh understood that being in such a position often meant missing out on meals.After a quick dinner, Elijah hurriedly left. Meanwhile, Irvin had the kitchen reheat the dishes and continued drinking with Eric.It was past 10:00 p.m. when Eric and Sylvia finally left the Sonnex manor.Starting the car, Sylvia remarked, "It's good to have connections in high places! If Grandpa Josh refused to step in, we might have faced more trouble."Eric smiled. "Considering this, I might as well accept Pierce's invitation to

    "Nothing will happen to my career, but you're in deep trouble. If I were you, I'd start thinking about how to save my company," Frankie declared. With a casual wave of his hand, Frankie's companion placed the suspension of business notice on Sylvia's desk.Sylvia was seemingly uninterested. She called her assistant inside and instructed, "Mell, get the manager and his deputy from the finance department to come and take a look. We'll appeal immediately if there are any unreasonable points.""Okay!" Mell promptly notified the finance department, and a group of people soon arrived. They examined the issues listed on the notice, and their faces sank.Emerson asserted, "Ms. Williams, we don't have these problems! And I suspect someone has changed something here!"Sylvia remained calm. At this stage, she wouldn't find it strange, no matter what methods Frankie used. She would find it strange if there were no issues on the notice.Frankie sneered, "Ms. Williams, we've pointed out the p

    Howard ignored Frankie, focusing on Sylvia as he spoke. "I apologize on behalf of Mr. Dawson, who couldn't make it due to a busy schedule. We've investigated the matter, and Frankie will be suspended from work."We'll convene a meeting soon to decide on the appropriate actions against him. Once Mr. Dawson is free in the next couple of days, he'll host a banquet to personally apologize to you three."Sylvia nodded in acceptance, expressing her gratitude, "That's acceptable. Thank you, Mr. Kent.""Don't mention it," Howard replied. "Feel free to go about your business."After the three acknowledged this, Howard turned his attention to Frankie and narrowed his eyes. "Come with me!"As the group left, Andy sighed with relief, turning to Eric with a question. "Eric, do you know who Mr. Dawson is?"Eric chuckled. "I'm sure you've seen him multiple times on TV. He's Elijah Dawson."Andy was stunned, not expecting Eric to seek his help.-Meanwhile, upon returning, Howard promptly con

    They were unaware of how Frankie was released despite having all the evidence against him. If even someone like Frankie could be released, then what about those people in prison? Did they really have committed crimes, or were they just someone else's scapegoat?"Strange, isn't it?" Ruth asked, prompting nods from Eric and Sylvia.Frankie's release was already confusing, and Ruth's insight into the situation added another layer of mystery. It appeared she was present because of Frankie's case."When we got word of Frankie's arrest, my mentor dispatched me to Salt City to handle the matter," Ruth explained. "In reality, his release was sanctioned by us. We've been monitoring him for a while, and it turns out he's a member of the Crimson Order."Eric was taken aback. While the Combat Department had been investigating the Crimson Order, he hadn't expected someone like Frankie to be associated with them.Did this not signify the extensive influence of the Crimson Order?Ruth sighed.

    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
