Queenie pursed her lips and said, "I often hear Connor mention you these days. I believe you've also heard some things about me. The Oberdeens will definitely come to Salt City, so I want to talk to you."

She pointed to the balcony and added, "Shall we talk over there?"

"Alright." Eric nodded, and they headed to the balcony. The gentle night breeze made it an ideal place for conversation.

Eric was prepared to sit under the umbrella, letting Queenie speak at her own pace.

However, Queenie said, "It won't take long, just a few sentences."

Eric nodded, waiting for her to continue.

She sighed and said, "Connor said he's not afraid of the Oberdeens with you around, and I'm grateful for that. Coulson was often bullied in the Oberdeens. He rarely smiled in the past, but after coming to Salt City, he's been smiling a lot lately.

"When the Oberdeens come..."

Eric was listening attentively. Little did he know what happened next would leave him bewildered.

The weather was somewhat hot, a

    Seraphine was forthright, firmly siding with Eric.Ignoring the others' expressions, she said, "Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? Would Eric really harm you? It's a fact that Sylvia is a peerless beauty."I assume you haven't heard their love story. If you had, this incident wouldn't have occurred tonight. You see, Ruth McClain and Jessica Watson from top-tier families in King City are also attracted to Eric."But Eric doesn't give a damn about them! So, who do you think you are? You're only from a third-tier wealthy family!"So stop humiliating yourself!"Seraphine was on point.Irvin couldn't help but nod. He believed in Eric's character. As an heir of a major family in King City, excelling in both holistic medicine and martial arts, what did he lack?Connor also began to doubt himself. He realized he had acted impulsively, driven by anger. If Eric had been truly arrogant and domineering, Connor would have been the one hit just now.Sylvia had been mas

    Henry refrained from taking sides on who was right or wrong, but the incident undoubtedly cast a looming shadow over the family's future. Regardless of the unfolding events, an unmistakable divide would emerge between this family and Queenie and Eric.-Once inside the car, Eric broke the silence. "Do you trust me this much?"Back at the Williams residence, Eric hadn't uttered a word, let alone offered an explanation. He acknowledged that explanations held no value in that particular situation.Sylvia smiled. "Why wouldn't I trust you? Besides, I understand you. You would never do such a thing.""Poor Connor. Queenie clearly came to Salt City with a purpose. If the Oberdeens back her, it's fine. At least we know our enemy. But if it's someone else, it's a bit troublesome.""Thank you," Eric sincerely expressed his gratitude.-At the Williams residence.Queenie had taken Coulson to their room.Connor sat on the sofa, visibly distressed.Henry, Godrick, Amelia, and the rest o

    While Coulson was in the restroom, Connor closed the door.After Coulson finished his business, Connor looked at him and asked, "Coulson, tell me honestly, did the Oberdeens really abuse you and your mom?"The events of the previous night made Connor trust Queenie less. However, children didn't lie. Connor wanted to confirm if certain things Queenie had said were true.Coulson looked at Connor and said, "Our home is big like yours, but there are a lot of people, especially older cousins, who bully me. They won't let me play with toys, enjoy tasty food, or join in their games."While speaking, Coulson started sobbing. "They don't even let me see my mom. They are all bad guys."Connor felt a pang in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, Queenie's voice interrupted, "Coulson, are you done yet?"Connor helped Coulson pull up his pants. When they came out, Queenie was holding a suitcase, the one she had brought to Salt City."Let's talk," Connor said."What is there to t

    The Oberdeens only knew Eric as a holistic medicine physician and Sylvia as his wife. Unaware of their deep bond, attempting to cause problems, blame, or tarnish their reputation wouldn't be enough to break their connection.Queenie had endured agonizing days for the past five years, with the promise of freedom from the Oberdeens after completing a task.Naturally, Queenie would go all out for her child."You almost caused a disaster!" Connor exclaimed.It wasn't that he aimed to blame Queenie, but he couldn't fathom why she still chose to act this way after all their discussions.Sylvester checked the time and said, "Connor, Eric and Sylvia should be at the hospital by now. You punched Eric last night, so go and apologize in person. If they accept, consider the matter settled."Connor nodded understandingly. Reflecting, he felt he had been too impulsive the previous night.Queenie wiped away tears and said, "Connor, I'll go with you. Mrs. Williams, could you take care of Coulso

    In reality, Winston felt at ease. Even if he didn't win today, it would simply be a tie.The other patient had already begun chemotherapy. Neal and his team appeared well-prepared, aiming to recover lost ground.Though the first day's confrontation had ended in a draw, Neal acknowledged that modern medicine's performance that day had been far from commendable. Thus, they could regain some of their reputation by completely outshining holistic medicine today.Winston summoned a nurse to bring in a bed, intending to start the treatment right away. Without consulting the patient's medical history, he had them lie down and instructed an assistant to fetch the silver needle box.Holistic medicine's essence lay in observation, with the pinnacle represented by the use of silver needles. Yet, what Winston demonstrated in holistic medicine that day was just the tip of the iceberg.Winston wasn't concerned about doctors learning his acupoint method because they couldn't. Even those studying

    Now, Winston appeared to have little inner energy left as he aged.Eric nodded slightly and said, "Hol. Clarke, take a good rest. I'll handle this patient."After speaking, he picked up the silver needle and continued the treatment.Cameras from various media outlets focused on Eric, leaving many puzzled. They wondered if the acupoint method could be continued by someone else.Eric remained calm, picking up the silver needles and steadily placing them.Witnessing this scene, several holistic physicians were stunned."Impressive! When did we get such amazing talent in our community? Why haven't I heard of him?" exclaimed one of the holistic physicians.Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Eric's skills surpassed Winston's. Logically, they should have heard of such a renowned holistic physician.Winston chuckled. "You all pay too much attention to honor, and you're not attentive enough to the affairs of the holistic medicine field. Hol. Johnson is the only apprentice of Hol. Th

    "Sylvia, Eric," Connor said with a beaming smile.Eric nodded at him expressionlessly, and Sylvia replied coldly, "What're you doing here?"She was still upset at Connor for punching Eric last night.Connor awkwardly said, " Queenie made a mistake last night. We came here specifically to apologize to you!"After that, he signaled Queenie.She understood his cues and said, "Eric, Sylvia, I'm really sorry about what happened last night. I was forced into doing something foolish."Sylvia glanced at Queenie and said, "Now that everything is clear, we're family. No need to dwell on it."She was not one to hold grudges. Additionally, she had been doubtful of her. Nevertheless, it was impossible for her not to feel upset.After checking the time, Sylvia added, "Connor, you go do whatever you need. Eric and I are heading to the Innova Group."The two got into their car and left.Feeling anxious, Queenie asked Connor, "Is everything really okay, Connor?"Connor reassured her, "If Syl

    Queenie had arrived in Salt City but hadn't completed her mission. Since turning back wasn't an option, the Oberdeens wouldn't let her off easily.Sylvester suggested, "How about I call Seraphine and ask her to warn the Oberdeens in the name of the Montgomerys?"He believed it was the best approach without direct confrontation."Don't do that," Connor said. "We shouldn't trouble Seraphine with such matters. Whether the Oberdeens listen or not is another matter. We want them to know it's not the Montgomerys they shouldn't mess with but the Williams!"Connor believed that there was nothing to fear as long as the three of them stuck together. They didn't require assistance from the Montgomerys or Eric, and the Oberdeens didn't intimidate them either.-After dinner, Eric and Sylvia returned home. Eric had a busy schedule the next day, with a second treatment session at a patient's house followed by work at the Innova Group.Since the duel between holistic and modern medicine in Sal

    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
