Eric knew that Seth and Jayden lived nearby because there was an elementary school in the vicinity, making it convenient for Jayden to attend.However, the two were grappling with several challenges. Seth, being illiterate, couldn't assist Jayden with his homework. Consequently, Jayden had to stay at the school dorms on weekdays, leaving Seth alone at home.Jayden had been vocal about the subpar quality of the school cafeteria food, prompting Seth to take him out for dinner on Wednesdays.During their meal, Jayden remarked, "They serve vegetables and no meat. Some classmates have their parents pick them up, but I don't have parents. Grandpa is getting old. It's inconvenient for his knees to come daily, so he brings me to eat once a week."Hearing that, Eric felt a pang of sadness. Jayden had never seen his mother, and his father had passed away early. Felicia, who worked in King City, used to support the family's expenses. Despite Felicia's age making her unsuitable for work, Orion

The man stood in shock as the brand-new BMW transformed into a pile of scrap in less than five minutes."What, does having money make you arrogant?! Do you think you can do whatever you want?!" he snarled.Sylvia smiled, retorting, "Sorry, but having money does allow you to do whatever you want, including being arrogant."Weren't you quite arrogant when I wasn't here? Now, show me how arrogant you can be!"The man became frightened. He could sense that Sylvia wasn't someone to mess with, especially after Matthew's punch had nearly wrecked the car's suspension.Believing Sylvia was connected to the underworld, he dared not provoke her. He was ready to take the money and leave. However, when he tried to depart..."Hold on!" Sylvia blocked his path. "We haven't settled our accounts yet!"The man swallowed hard and stammered, "What… What do you mean?"Sylvia sneered. "You slapped the child, leaving marks on his face and blood at the corner of his mouth."The man's heart sank. He p

The advantage of news dissemination lay in its speed, allowing exposure of certain unsavory activities online to pursue justice.However, the drawback was the ease with which public opinion could be manipulated. Some news outlets selectively used snippets of information or images, distorting the content. The true events, along with their causes and consequences, were seldom explored by internet users.Additionally, some individuals on the internet tended to criticize others, even though many of them were relatively unknown.Eric paid little attention to online occurrences, focusing on delivering a lecture to the students before heading back to Salt City.The establishment of the holistic medicine college by senior physicians didn't aim to select talented individuals from this group of students.These students were already 18 or 19 years old, past the prime time for learning holistic medicine. Most holistic physicians commenced training at a young age, around five or six years old.

Before Eric could say anything, Sylvia smiled and said, "Mom, it's nothing. It's just a minor issue, and it hasn't affected us much. That's why Eric hasn't taken any action."Eric added, "Mom, I've already asked someone to look into it."Upon hearing that, Grace felt somewhat reassured. Some matters might seem trivial to others, but in Grace's eyes, anything related to her family was of great importance.Later on, Grace brought up the matter of the Joint Family Association, which brought together the two top-tier families in King City, the McClains and Watsons, along with the newly rising Montgomerys. The Association comprised a total of ten major families, and its strength was undeniably formidable.This matter had already stirred up a storm in the business circle. Numerous families, even those outside King City, wanted to join the Association but were outright rejected. The Association was still in its exploratory phase, and whether it would succeed or not was not an absolute cer

Kevin placed Eric's identification on the table and smiled coldly."You don't look like a good person, Lieutenant General Johnson." He continued sarcastically. "Why don't you pretend to be the Secretary-General? I think that identity would be more believable!"Eric chuckled. "I can't blame you for not knowing about me, but you can make a call to your superiors. Or you can open my phone. There's a contact labeled 'Big Boss' in there. You can call and ask him. If that doesn't work, there's another contact named Lieutenant General McClain. After the call connects, tell them I'm at your station."Upon hearing that, Kevin laughed. "Don't try to bluff me! This trick won't work! You've beaten those guys severely, and now you're in trouble!"Eric shrugged indifferently. He had already disclosed his identity, including his position as a professor at the holistic medicine college of King City University. He had various credentials to prove it, but Kevin just refused to believe him.Kevin ha
