Chapter 791

Ruth said, "My mother passed away early, and my father has never remarried. In a family like the McClains, especially with my father in the position of the family leader, it'd be difficult for him to maintain his status without enough power."At that point, Eric finally understood. Ruth was Lionel's only daughter, so she had to shoulder certain responsibilities. Even if Lionel did not explicitly state it, Ruth willingly took on these duties. She became the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department and Pierce's protege to support her father.Very few women would willingly choose such a profession from birth.Eric knew he had touched a sensitive topic and did not continue the conversation.During dinner, Eric noticed that the topic did not seem to significantly impact Ruth.Speaking of meals, Ruth, like Sylvia, belonged to the type of person who needed to fill her stomach first before handling her problems.Night descended with the accompaniment of thunder, and raindrops started

Eric hurried toward Ruth's room without bothering to put on clothes. He forcefully kicked the door wide open and found a dark figure standing next to the bed. The intruder clutched the blanket, gazing emptily at the pillow, which bore three gunshot holes.The intruder, however, reacted swiftly. As Eric kicked open the door, the intruder aimed the gun at the entrance, firing three shots.Recognizing the intruder's armed and trained status, Eric had strategically taken cover behind the wall before kicking the door. The three shots hit the wall, sparing him from harm.Eric wasted no time and charged in. His remarkable speed allowed him to reach the intruder in the blink of an eye, delivering a swift blow to the neck.The intruder's eyes widened, and he crumpled to the floor.Eric kicked the gun aside, sighing in relief. Glancing at the pillow, he couldn't shake off the chilling thought that if Ruth had been there, she would have met a deadly fate.Ruth entered the scene, picking up

Ruth nodded and advised, "Exercise caution and bring in more people."With skilled individuals by his side, Sean found it manageable to handle such situations.After ordering the disposal of the assassin, he remarked, "It appears this place is no longer safe. I'll arrange for you to relocate."Relocating seemed the safest option, but Ruth disagreed, "No need to move. Eric and I need to stay put if we want to identify the person behind this. After their failed attempt, they'll likely send someone else. They won't be able to explain to their client if they fail to eliminate us."Ruth's expertise in this line of work was evident.Sean sought Eric's opinion, who nodded and reassured, "Let's stay here for now. Don't worry."In the confined villa space, Eric wasn't afraid of armed assassins. With precautions in place, he could move faster than an assassin.Sean agreed, "Alright, I'll send more people tonight."Afterward, he left.Eric sensed that Sean wasn't overly concerned about R

"What is this thing?" Ruth asked, feeling a sense of confusion. Had she misunderstood Eric? How could a website have a list with her name on it?However, she quickly grasped the situation and exclaimed, "This is an assassination bounty list! How did you find this thing?!""Is it that difficult?" Eric replied, "When you mentioned the well-trained assassin, it reminded me of this website."Don't forget, I'm proficient in network technology. There's a group in our line of work, and I've heard them talk about an assassin organization."On this organization's website, there's a secretive bounty platform. Clients post bounties, and assassins take the orders. After completing the job, the assassin gets paid. I didn't pay much attention when I first heard about it. It came to my mind just now, so I checked and found your name."Ruth stared at Eric. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"Eric shrugged. "You didn't ask!"Ruth rolled her eyes and focused on the laptop screen again. "One million?

However, Sylvia had to return during the weekends.Early in the morning, Sylvia called on Andy, Elly, and the two kids to return to Nutikiville. The Combat Department's wanted order was quite effective. In addition to newspapers and the Internet, they also utilized television. Major TV stations would broadcast the wanted posters every day at scheduled times, especially during prime time.Although Eric's parents had not called to ask, they must have known about it. Therefore, Sylvia felt the need to return to Nutikiville to reassure the elderly.After this incident, Elly had not returned to Nutikiville.-When they arrived, they saw Blake sitting at the door, smoking, with a worried expression on his face. The news of Eric being wanted had spread in Nutikiville, making life difficult for them. No matter how much money Eric donated to Nutikiville, there were always people who did not appreciate it.Some villagers even claimed that the money Eric had donated was earned through treas

Delilah stood with hands on her hips and a triumphant expression. After learning about Eric's wanted status, she hadn't held back in mocking Eric's parents."Blake, oh, Blake," Delilah began, pointing at the group. "Remember how you used to flaunt your wealth? Can't flaunt it now, can you? Treason is such a serious crime! It's a disgrace to our village!"In all these years, we've never had a traitor! Do you think I'm being harsh? Do you know what this is called? This is called divine intervention. This is what you get for bullying my family."As she spoke, she even started clapping, emphasizing her pleasure.However, Elly was not going to let her off the hook. Ever since Richard and Jared conspired to harm Blake to take over the compensation for his land, Elly no longer regarded them as her uncle and aunt. She wanted to retort, but then Hank arrived on his motorcycle."Richard, Delilah, what are you two doing here?" Hank dismounted his motorcycle and walked over. "Are you really t

With years of experience in his position, Hank had a point. If a villager committed a crime, the police would first contact him.Hank was puzzled for a while after seeing Eric's wanted poster. After all, no one had come to him and asked about Eric's situation.Richard and Delilah's faces sank. In the past, whenever someone in the village got into trouble, the police would show up promptly. When there was not much farm work, such news would instantly spread throughout the entire village.However, since Eric was wanted, no one from the relevant authorities had come to investigate. Hank added, "Regarding the money you mentioned. If the funds Eric contributed to the village were obtained through treason, wouldn't they have been reclaimed by now?"You better watch your words! Eric has made significant contributions to our village. It's bad enough that you're not helping in this situation, but gloating and adding insult to injury is downright shameful!"Richard could not bear Hank's c

On that day, they didn't return to Salt City. When night descended, Sylvia readied the dashcam to identify who was hurling mud and cow dung on the wall in the dead of night.This had been happening for the past few nights, so she was confident the culprits would strike again tonight.Blake and Melinda retired for the night. Unable to catch the culprit, they opted for a good night's rest, planning to investigate in the morning.-Blake and Melinda rose early. As anticipated, mud and cow dung still adorned the wall. Sylvia, Elly, and the others were still asleep. Following Sylvia's advice to leave it be, Blake and Melinda refrained from removing the mess.The elderly couple set out with a sickle and a basket to fetch pig feed. Drawing on his habits and experience, Blake believed that pigs fed cooked food would yield tastier pork.Around 9:00 a.m., Sylvia and the others woke up. It was the first time Sylvia had a restful night since Eric became wanted. After getting ready, they exam

Delilah retorted, "Mayor Jenkins, what are you talking about? What basis do you have to claim that the dung on Blake's wall is from us? If you don't have any evidence, you can't say we're the ones who did it!""No evidence?" Hank sneered. "Richard, Delilah, damaging someone else's property is already breaking the law. Do you know that?"Delilah shrank back a little at the prospect of legal consequences, her voice softening. "Well, it's not us who threw it..."Hank's gaze shifted to Sylvia. She had suggested checking if Richard and Delilah would admit to it before deciding the next steps.Sylvia wasn't going to indulge them. She pulled out her phone and said, "I'll notify the police now. Also, I want you to contact the parents of those kids. Eric isn't around, so I can't let other people bully his parents."Since Richard and Delilah refused to admit their actions, Sylvia was determined to teach them a lesson.Hank nodded. "Vee, they're fellow villagers. Let's just educate those ki

"Admit to what?" Delilah asked. "Mayor Jenkins, you can't just believe everything you hear! Can we trust the words of kids? You don't have any evidence, so why do you say it's us? If you keep defaming us like this, we'll sue you for defamation!"Delilah and Richard had already confirmed there were no surveillance cameras around Blake's house. Without evidence, how could they be penalized based on the words of a few kids?Feeling a bit guilty, Richard said, "Mayor Jenkins, if there's nothing else, Delilah and I will go to work in the fields. Harvest season is here. We can't delay the work on the farms because of this trivial matter!"Just as Hank was about to say something, the police arrived.Sylvia went up and pointed at Richard and Delilah, "Officers, I reported the case. Take a look at my house's wall. They incited the village kids to throw mud at my wall. They even threw cow dung on it themselves."The two police officers glanced at the wall, and they were speechless. It was a
