Eric took a deep breath, copied Sylvia's movements, and chuckled. "This is easy."Sylvia rolled her eyes. "Your stance is not good at all."She kicked Eric's feet and said, "Widen your stance more and lower your shoulders."After assessing Eric's posture, she nodded with satisfaction. "That's close enough. Let's go with this."Then she took out her phone and said, "And now we'll order breakfast."Eric smiled and said, "Why order breakfast? I'll make it after I'm done with the horse stance.""You'll find out soon enough," Sylvia said, glancing at Eric."Martial arts can be tough, especially since we're focusing on the basics given your experience. Once you've got the fundamentals down, we'll move on to more advanced techniques. If you stick with it, you can handle regular opponents in about a year."And there are other benefits that come with it. Alongside boosting your fitness, it will also build your resilience."Sylvia's assessment of Eric left him feeling underestimated. Bu

At Innova Tech.It was already 10:00 a.m. when Eric arrived at the company, and his legs were still slightly wobbly."Hey!" Andy quickly approached Eric. "What are you doing here? Take care of your injuries first! You can't even walk properly!"Eric smiled wryly. "My legs have nothing to do with my injuries."Andy shot him a meaningful glance and said, "I'm impressed, Eric!"Eric rolled his eyes. "It's not what you think. I just started learning martial arts today, dumbass."Andy was surprised. "Did you also read that book?""That book?" Eric looked puzzled.Andy took out a book from the drawer. "This book!""Have you been to the old-item market again? Did you find this at a stall?" Eric questioned him."Find this at a stall?" Andy was rendered speechless. "I bought this online for 45 dollars!"Eric looked at the worn cover and quipped, "The Basic Breath Regulation Method? You actually believe in this?""Breath regulation methods have been trending lately. But I can't reall

Sylvester gazed at Sylvia and sighed, noticing her silence."Uncle Irvin, did Eric not tell you who his wife is?" Sylvester smirked.Irvin was taken aback momentarily. It dawned on him that Eric had never mentioned his wife's name. Still, he stood his ground."I might not know her name, but discussing this won't help unless she shows up. You can go."He didn't like the siblings and wasn't going to let them keep all the benefits.Sylvester was surprised that Irvin still didn't know Eric's wife after being sworn brothers for so long.He smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Irvin, the truth is, Sylvia is Eric's wife."Irvin was left stunned by this sudden revelation, looking at Sylvia in confusion."U-Uncle Irvin…" Sylvia appeared uneasy. "It's a long story, but Eric and I are married."Admitting her marriage to Eric to an outsider felt strange. But Eric had worked hard to seal the deal for Williams Corp. She couldn't disappoint him now, even if she hadn't figured out how to handle the

After work, Eric picked up Sylvia and drove to Irvin's house. Until then, he hadn't realized how wealthy the Sonnex family truly was. Seeing their extravagant mansion, he finally understood.The towering gate, beautiful landscaping, and the grand main building all revealed their wealth. In Salt City, there were just two properties like this. The other belonged to the Williams family.At the entrance, Keith waited nervously. When Irvin arrived, he had already gathered the family and told them that Eric's wife was Sylvia Williams. He had instructed them to treat her equally and not bring up her identity.In the car, Eric exclaimed, "It's really nice to be rich! Look at this place. It's huge!""Exactly, that's why we need to work hard to earn more money so you can do whatever you want," Sylvia said.Eric nodded in response. After life threw several curve balls at him, he finally grasped the importance of wealth. He realized that by earning more money, he and his family could live mor

Sylvia, dressed in white sports attire, jogged alongside the average-looking Eric. He employed the Basic Breath Regulation Method to boost his running and surprisingly felt his stamina improve.After a kilometer, Sylvia was amazed at Eric's endurance. She wouldn't possess such stamina without her years of training. Moreover, Eric had practiced the horse stance for 30 minutes before his run. Yesterday, he grew tired after just 15 minutes of the stance, but today, he powered through and still managed to run.Observing Sylvia's occasional glances, he suggested, "If you're struggling, want to take a break and then continue?"Sylvia looked at him disdainfully. "How about a bet? If you can keep up with me, I'll do the dishes for a month."Eric furrowed his brow and said, "No thanks!"After two kilometers, Eric was struggling while Sylvia seemed to have plenty of energy left. He could not help but admire the seemingly delicate woman.Sylvia assessed Eric, remarking, "Impressive. You're
