Pierce sighed and said, "Our economy was very poor 40 years ago, and most people couldn't even afford to eat properly. This situation persisted until 30 years ago. In the past 20 years, our economy has started to take off, with abundant resources and economic development. "However, there are still many people in the world who hope that we remain poor so that they can keep us at the bottom of the production chain and serve as the cheapest labor force for them! "Fortunately, we are very resilient! But even so, there are still people continuously suppressing us!"Eric remained silent, knowing that Pierce had not finished yet.Pierce then continued. "Nowadays, our international influence is growing, and we have more chips in our hands. But precisely because our economy is doing so well and we have abundant resources, there are always people eyeing us!"You and Sylvia probably know about many international organizations, but what I want to say is that these international organization

The cases overseen by Miller and Robert were still ongoing. It appeared that the other party was aware of Eric and Pierce's identities since no one had contacted them to release those who were arrested.After all, everyone was aware of the nature of the Combat Department. A single phone call could potentially ruin their careers. Who would risk their future for someone else's?-After spending a few days in King City, Eric and Sylvia prepared to return to Salt City.Grace hesitated to part ways as she had grown fond of Yvette. However, she understood that Eric's career, family, and everything else were in Salt City. It wasn't practical for him to remain in King City for an extended period.After sending Eric, Sylvia, and Yvette to the airport, Grace returned to the Montgomery residence and sighed.Alexander said, "It's all Sean's fault for not being competent enough! If he worked harder, you could have gone to Salt City to live by now."Grace said, "What's the point of blaming hi

Roland chuckled. "Mr. Johnson, I'm just a roughneck. How would I know about international affairs?"Eric glanced at Roland and said, "Roland, don't say that. I know you must have your own opinion."Roland smiled. "I think they're just bullshitting. They're doing this just to establish a positive image and engage in some shady dealings under the guise of charity."These people are just nosy dogs sticking their noses where they don't belong. What do our own affairs have to do with them? I believe they have ulterior motives."What's all this talk about human health? It's just a facade. I don't know what they're really up to, but I know it can't be anything good!"Roland's viewpoint was similar to that of Pierce. Such individuals could see through the essence of things at a glance. When it came to schemes, who could outplay them?Eric grinned. "You said that you don't know anything, but you seem to understand quite clearly, don't you?"-The people from the Combat Department had al

The documents contained various data about the virus, including the genetic map.Perhaps fearing the GHO team might not understand, Eric said, "The virus that broke out in Dortmund City and Salt City originates from several very common viruses. After combining the genes and characteristics of these common viruses, a new virus was created!"Since you're all experts in this field, I'm sure you know that this kind of virus is definitely not naturally occurring."Some of the people fell silent. They had been wondering why the outbreak would suddenly occur. In today's world, where hygiene was a top priority, they couldn't fathom how such a virus could emerge. If indeed there was an outbreak, it must be a dormant strain or one that had mutated multiple times.Eric continued. "Generally speaking, highly contagious viruses have low fatality rates because they are also products of nature. Their strong infectivity is due to encountering many living organisms during the host's active period,

After making the necessary preparations, they waited for the assassin to take the bait. Since the hotel's daily traffic was not particularly high, any suspicious individuals would be immediately noticed. However, there were no signs of anything out of the ordinary until midnight. Yet, Roland and his men remained vigilant. The GOH team would be staying in Dortmund City for several days, and Roland speculated that it would likely be tonight or tomorrow night.After midnight, Roland's men finally spotted a suspicious figure. A person wearing a cap and dressed as a cleaner entered the elevator, heading toward Eric's floors."He's here!" Roland's man said over the intercom. "It's someone disguised as a cleaner, wearing a cap. We just confirmed with the hotel manager that he isn't one of their employees!""Guys, let's have some fun!" Roland said. "Mess up the rooms for the cleaner! Spill some drinks and stuff and make him clean it all up! Tire the bastard out!"As a cleaner, cleaning
