Sylvia's beauty surpassed that of Jasmine, leaving Elly in awe even as a woman. She couldn't help but wonder what Sylvia saw in Eric.

"These three are my elder brothers. Eric is still unaware of it, so please keep it a secret. I will personally inform Eric when the time is right. If you tell him now, it will lead to irreparable conflicts between Eric and me," Sylvia explained.

"I won't say a word," Elly assured her.

There must be a story behind Eric and this unbelievably beautiful sister-in-law of hers. During his accident, Sylvia's concern for Eric hinted at deeper feelings between them.

Elly's own marriage with Craig was already falling apart, so she didn't want anything to come between Eric and Sylvia. That's why she would keep their secret.

Initially, Sylvia hadn't planned to meet Eric's family members. However, when Eric had his accident, she didn't think twice about it.

In a book she had read, it mentioned how couples should care for and support each other. Though her relat

    They were so distant, and at that moment, Jasmine approached David."Babe, are you okay?" she asked."Am I okay?" David glared at Jasmine and burst into a fit of rage. "Are you fucking blind? Didn't you see that Brook Williams almost beat me to death?!"Jasmine shrunk back, her voice trembling. "Babe, why don't we call the cops? Brook is so arrogant. We should make him face the consequences—""Imbecile! Are you an idiot? Call the cops? Do you have any idea who Brook Williams is? What good would it do to call the cops?"Do you think calling the cops will make Brook Williams compensate me with money? All you care about is money, money, money!"Would I dare to accept money if Brook Williams offered it to me?"Even if we call the cops and get him arrested, so what? With Brook Williams' influence, how long can they keep him locked up? By the time he's released, I won't be able to escape from him!"David knew that calling the police would only invite countless troubles. Moreover, Eri

    After a brief moment of blankness, memories flooded back to Eric like a tsunami. He remembered being blocked by someone outside the company and being stabbed, but his recollection ended there.The ward was silent and empty, with no one else present. Eric's gaze shifted to the dripping bag, almost hearing the sound of the glucose solution dripping.Feeling a sense of relief that he was still alive, Eric let out a sigh. He had thought he was done for when he was losing consciousness. The faces of the six individuals who had nearly taken his life were etched in his mind.Yet, Eric was perplexed. Besides David, he hadn't offended anyone, so who could be behind the attempt on his life? Was it a competitor or David himself?Lost in thought, Eric was taken aback when Sylvia returned to the ward carrying breakfast from the cafeteria.He hadn't expected Sylvia to be the one entering the room when the door swung open. Andy, Elly, or his sworn brother, Irvin, seemed more likely.Eric observ

    "Also, make sure he avoids greasy food during this period. Start with something bland and light on the stomach. And don't let him exert himself too much to avoid disrupting the wound. If it tears, it won't heal properly."Sylvia quickly nodded in agreement.The group of doctors felt relieved. They had been entrusted by the hospital director to closely monitor Eric, as any mishap would reflect poorly on all of them.Once the doctors left, Sylvia gazed at Eric and said, "Did you hear what the doctors said? I won't be babysitting you like a child. You need to take responsibility!"Eric nodded hastily.Suddenly, Sylvia remembered the breakfast she had set aside. Realizing it had likely gone cold, Eric warned, "It's probably cold now after being left for so long. Don't eat it and upset your stomach."Warmth filled his heart at that moment.Sylvia had actually forgotten about her own breakfast because of him? Unbelievable!Furrowing her brows, Sylvia remarked, "Indeed, it's gone co

    Eric took a moment to think, contemplating his next move."I think we should inform Andy," he finally said.Eric couldn't think of anyone else to notify besides Andy. He didn't want to burden his sworn brother, Irvin Sonnex, who was busy as the CEO of Sonnex Corp. After careful consideration, Andy was the only person he felt comfortable sharing his situation with.Sylvia scanned through Eric's contact list and noticed only a few numbers were saved. There were just over 20 numbers in total. It included Sylvia, Irvin, Andy, Elly, Eric's parents' number, Big Sis, and a few technicians. It became clear to Sylvia that Eric had a very limited circle of contacts.Sylvia located Andy's number and dialed it, then handed the phone to Eric.After a few rings, Andy answered the call."Eric, why are you calling so early? What's the matter?" Andy asked anxiously.Eric gave a bitter smile and replied, "What else could it be? I won't be able to come to the company for a while.""Eric, what hap

    They presented Eric with photos of the six culprits for identification. After examining each photo, Eric nodded and confirmed, "Yes, it's them."He picked out one of the photos from the stack and pointed, saying, "This person is their leader. He's the one who stabbed me."Observing Eric's confident identification, one of the police officers asked, "Think carefully. Have you recently made any enemies? We reviewed the surveillance footage, and this group of thugs specifically targeted you, waiting for nearly an hour. It appears to be a planned and deliberate attack.""A targeted attack?" Eric furrowed his brow. "I haven't offended anyone lately except for David Westman, the owner of Westman Technology. I can't think of anyone else I've offended."The two officers exchanged glances."We've initiated city-wide surveillance. If those six individuals appear, we'll definitely apprehend them. Regarding this David Westman you mentioned, we will question him later," one of the officers assu

    Elly couldn't fathom what kind of family could afford such an expensive foundation. If a small bottle of foundation was already so expensive, she couldn't imagine the prices of the other products. Afraid of the answer, she didn't dare to ask any further.Soon, Sylvia finished applying her makeup and looked at Elly. "Elly, the makeup you're wearing doesn't really suit you. Can I help you and give it a try?"Elly smiled awkwardly. "But I didn't bring any of my own makeup.""No problem! Use mine!" Sylvia pulled Elly in front of the mirror and said, "First, let's shape your brows properly."She picked up an eyebrow razor and carefully shaped Elly's brows. It wasn't the same razor Sylvia had hidden under her pillow.If Eric had seen this scene, he would have been shocked. Sylvia was a clean freak, after all. Yet she was using her own makeup products on Elly! It was unbelievable!However, it was a well-known fact that women enjoyed playing with makeup. The makeup session lasted a full

    "This..." Elly pursed her lips, her expression filled with concern. "It's a gift from a friend. You didn't receive any transaction notification, right?"Her fear was starting to creep in. Spending over $1,000 on two eyebrow pencils seemed extravagant. Money wasn't meant to be spent like this unless you were incredibly wealthy."Hmph!" Craig snorted, his displeasure evident. "A friend? What kind of friend would give you such expensive items, especially considering they're consumable?"His irritation grew, and he began to wonder if Elly was having an affair. Spending over $1,000 on eyebrow pencils seemed far more extravagant than anything he had ever done for her."That's right!" Elly made up her mind. "I've found someone who treats me well! He's the owner of a cosmetic company. See? He did my makeup, and the eyebrow pencils were a gift from him!"Jealous, huh? Craig, what have you ever given me? I paid for the house and renovations.

    Elly smiled. "Dad, Eric broke up with Jasmine a long time ago. His wife is really nice, much better than Jasmine by a million times."Mr. Johnson took a sip of wine and replied, "That brat, he broke up with Jasmine and immediately got married to someone else. I bet he already had a backup plan while he was still with Jasmine. Elly, when you have the chance, call him over. I want to have a talk with him."Elly was rendered speechless. How could her father think that way?"Dad, it's not Eric's fault. There are hidden reasons behind it. I'll tell you when the time is right. Eric is not the person you think he is," Elly explained.Elly knew their father managed to stay in a private ward because of Sylvia, and Sylvia must have her reasons for not visiting their parents. After all, she even kept it from Eric.Sylvia confided in Elly, and the latter saw no reason to spread it around. How could they maintain a good relationship with Sylvia in the future if she did?"Young people these da

    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
