Upon returning to the Rosewood Estate, Sylvia noticed the strong smell of alcohol emanating from Eric and furrowed her brow. "How much did you drink this time?"

"Not much, just two bottles," Eric replied, his face slightly flushed. He was unaware of how his appearance and drinking affected Sylvia, making her tempted to hit him.

'Two bottles is not much? I wonder how many bottles he considers too much.'

"If you're not drunk, go take a shower. You stink!" Sylvia pinched her nose, unable to tolerate the odor.

Noticing her reaction, Eric asked, "You don't like it when I drink?"

"I dislike anyone who drinks alcohol. My father was a heavy drinker, which is why I've always kept my distance from him, even now."

Eric remarked, "You really need to do something about your obsession with cleanliness!"

He then headed to the bathroom without waiting for Sylvia's reply, intending to freshen up.

After finishing his shower, Eric found Sylvia still sitting on the couch, engrossed in reading the

    Sylvia got up and exclaimed, "You should make good use of it! There can't be many people in Salt City with that ability. I haven't heard of anyone possessing it before. Who knows? If you use it right, you could make a huge name for yourself."Realizing this himself, Eric remained in a daze as the doors closed.'When did I acquire this ability? Why wasn't I aware of it earlier!?'-Meanwhile, Craig returned home with a hideous expression on his face. However, Elly seemed unfazed by his presence.After Craig sat down, Elly addressed him, saying, "Since my parents are here, I won't recount all the heinous things you've done in front of them. Here are my conditions: You can continue driving your car, and I'll take care of the children. But you must hand over your banking cards to me. I'll pay you whatever amount you ask for, but you must inform me how you plan to spend it."Of course, you can choose to refuse my proposal and spend the money on your lover. However, when we get a divor

    Craig seethed with anger, yet he felt powerless to confront Elly. Firstly, he acknowledged his own fault, and secondly, he feared that Elly would escalate the issue to Sonnex Corp.'s senior management.Mr. and Mrs. Johnson remained silent. The car accident incident had finally revealed Craig's true colors, which deeply saddened them.Elly calmly put away the bank card and said, "My parents will stay here for a while. Keep your opinions to yourself. I don't care to hear what you think."I contributed to half of the house renovation when we purchased it, so I owe you nothing, Craig. I have every right to let my parents move in."Anticipating Craig's objections to her parents moving in, Elly decided to preemptively silence him. She had confidence in her decision."Elly!" Craig finally exploded. "Are you tired of your life? Are you trying to force me into a divorce!?"His anger got the better of him, resorting to using divorce as a threat against Elly.Elly smiled and replied, "Divo

    The Mercedes Benz they bought was on a mortgage, but there was only $15,000 left in the bank. The money didn't add up, and Elly cursed inwardly at Craig.How much money did Craig spend behind her back?Elly controlled their monthly household expenses to $750. She saved every penny she could, planning to buy another house for her sons in the future. But what did Craig do?Elly withdrew her bank card and left in big strides.Cody wanted to learn basketball, and Max wanted to learn Taekwondo. The boys were still young, and she wanted to support their interests. She registered them for classes, spending almost $2,000, and then headed to the mall.-At Innova Tech.Eric and Andy were seeing off a supplier. In their previous job at Westman Technology, they were the ones seeking equipment suppliers, but now the suppliers were coming to them.The network equipment market was huge, and Innova Tech had secured two projects from Salt City's major conglomerates, making the suppliers take t

    "From now on, I'll make myself look prettier and more refined," Elly declared with determination.Eric understood that Elly wanted to regain her confidence after Jocelyn's hurtful words from the previous day. He believed in Elly's potential and knew that her beauty would shine through with a little grooming. Losing some weight would undoubtedly enhance her appearance and turn heads.While Eric knew nothing about makeup products, he was aware that Elly's trendy clothes must have come with a hefty price tag."Elly, I bet you spent quite a fortune on this makeover, right?" he remarked."Yes, indeed," Elly confirmed. "The clothes and makeup products cost me at least $4,500."Upon hearing the high price, Eric's mouth twitched slightly."I used Craig's bank card. I realized that if he could spend our shared assets on another woman, why shouldn't I be able to enjoy them too?" Elly added with determination."I didn't lead a frugal life for him to splurge our money on his mistress. Since

    That was a dire situation."But we can't allow her to do as she pleases," Jocelyn said.Her interference in Craig and Elly's relationship primarily stemmed from Craig's position at Sonnex Corp. With Craig's support, Jocelyn could improve her life and enjoy his financial resources. If Craig lost his job, all her efforts would be in vain.Craig leaned back in his chair and pondered, saying, "Go ahead and keep yourself busy. I'll figure out a way to retrieve my bank card. Tomorrow is payday, and a few thousand dollars will be deposited into the account..."Reluctantly, Craig tried to come up with a solution throughout the afternoon but failed to find one.-Meanwhile, Eric returned to Innova Tech after signing the contract with Williams Corp. To his surprise, similar to Sonnex Corp., Williams Corp. was willing to provide a 60% advance payment.Eric couldn't help but wonder if Sylvia or Irvin were behind this, considering Irvin's status in Salt City.With the contract signed, the p

    At the Rosewood Estate.Sylvia returned home early that day and settled onto the sofa, wearing her indoor slippers and engrossed in a book.Usually, Eric would have been home by now, preparing dinner. However, she knew he was signing a contract with Williams Corp. and might be late due to taking the contract back to Innova Tech. She hadn't received any message from him indicating he would return and cook dinner. It was already 7:00 p.m., and Eric hadn't come back.Sylvia furrowed her brow, wondering what was going on. Did Eric become arrogant? Did he think he could ignore their agreement after securing two major projects from Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp.?If it happened once, it could happen again. Sylvia couldn't let things slide, so she picked up her phone and dialed Eric's number.After a few rings, someone unfamiliar answered the call. "May I know who you are? Mr. Johnson is in trouble. He's undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital. If you know him, please inform his

    Brook's scalp crawled upon hearing Sylvia's words, understanding why she was so furious about Eric being assaulted."Calm down, Sylvia!" Brook quickly intervened. "Which hospital are you at? I'll rush over right away!"After hearing about Eric's incident, Sylvester and Connor also hurried to the hospital. When they arrived, Dr. Gray was sitting outside the operating theater, anxiously awaiting the results. The Williams brothers approached Dr. Gray in haste.With a touch of irritation, Brook grabbed Dr. Gray by the collar and demanded, "How is Eric doing, Dr. Gray? If you fail to save him, I'll shut down your hospital today!"Brook could sense Sylvia's deep concern for Eric from her tone.Sylvia stepped forward and pushed Brook away."Why are you blaming Dr. Gray?! Weren't you supposed to be monitoring Eric all along? So, where were you today?" Sylvia questioned, tears streaming down her cheeks.It seemed that Sylvia had grown attached to Eric, perhaps due to the passage of time.

    David's hands roamed over a tall beauty with long legs in the club when a man rushed toward him."D-David!"David glanced at the man and asked, "How did it go? Did you teach that kid a lesson?"Seeing the injuries on the man's face, David assumed Eric had received a good beating.The man pressed his lips together. "D-David... I might have... I might have stabbed him to death...""What!?" David pushed the beauty off his lap and sprang to his feet. "What are you saying!?"Fear gripped him.While he had been involved in the underworld before and had stabbed a few people, he had never taken a life. The law enforcement had been strict, and though they played rough, fatalities were not part of the equation. Killing someone would change everything.The man lowered his head and remained silent.Frustration overwhelmed David, and he couldn't help but kick the man hard."You idiot! I told you to teach him a lesson, not to stab him to death! You've gotten me into big trouble!""D-David

    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
