Sylvia currently held the position of CEO at King Pharma, previously known as the Oberdeen Group, due to the manipulations orchestrated by the Combat Department.After ending the call, Eric informed Ruth, "Sylvia will be here tomorrow. She mentioned that Chuck and Genome Inc. were merely the representatives brought to light.""That means the real culprit is still at large!"This piece of news greatly surprised Ruth. She had believed Chuck was the mastermind.However, according to Sylvia's information, it appeared to be true. Chuck had messed up, leading to Genome Inc.'s bankruptcy. Faced with this outcome, Chuck seemed to have only one option—death. Survival seemed impossible!In this context, Chuck didn't commit suicide, at least not willingly. He must have been coerced, but it was staged to appear as suicide to outsiders.Ruth glanced at the information and remarked, "Eric, there's significant movement from my mentor as well. Our most advanced warships will be deployed, with th

Sylvia chuckled. "What's there to doubt? I believe he's truly a man who can keep his desires in check."He once said himself that what distinguishes humans from other creatures is our ability to restrain our physical desires. If a man pounces at the sight of a woman, how is he any different from a beast?"Sylvia had always firmly believed in that statement!Last night, she had also tested Eric, and there was definitely nothing between him and Ruth.Why harbor excessive suspicions?Ruth also smiled. "I envy the bond between you and your husband!"Her envy was genuine. She knew Eric had scarred his own face to support Sylvia in coping with her disfigurement. Such bravery was uncommon. Now, Sylvia's unwavering trust in Eric seemed justified.As they conversed, Eric emerged from the bathroom, asking, "What are you discussing?"He assumed Sylvia and Ruth were engaged in serious discussion. Little did he anticipate they were delving into the complexities of male-female relationships.

Leroy voiced his concern, "We must deploy our covert operatives to investigate Kurt, but King City is a very dangerous place for that. If our operatives are exposed, it's a dead end." Years ago, there were some intelligence operatives stationed in King City from Catellon, but after the Crescent Order incident, the Combat Department swiftly acted. They not only eradicated the Crescent Order's shells but also targeted operatives from various countries. Inserting operatives into King City has become exceedingly difficult!Smith furrowed his brow. "Are we left with no other options? I can manage to retrieve funds from the GHO, but what about Naturia?""We can't make it easy for them.""Let's keep the King City folks hanging for a few days. Let's see if they'll come to us on their own."With that, he reclined in his chair as if to rest, prompting Leroy to quickly depart.-Meanwhile, in the car.Ruth fumed. "Is Smith a rabbit? He never showed up!" Without Smith, they couldn't c

Every time they mobilized, Ruth needed to gather some forces to be ready for immediate support.There was a feeling of being played!Suddenly, her expression changed, and she pointed at Sylvia. "It wouldn't be that Leroy fellow has recognized you, right?"In the business circle, Sylvia was a prominent figure. As the Innova Group's former CEO, leading the company to such brilliant achievements, it was hard not to be famous!Ruth believed that Leroy or Smith must have recognized Sylvia, hence the precautions!"Not likely," Sylvia said. "Even if they did recognize me, it doesn't matter. My relationship with the Innova Group is contractual. I am essentially a professional manager. Moreover, I left the Innova Group over a year ago, having demonstrated the necessary capabilities."Now, stepping in to take over the mess at the Oberdeens also makes sense because of my abilities."Sylvia was becoming increasingly confident, but she made sense. The GI Group and Smith would certainly care

Smith had taken extensive precautions, not only at the entrance but also in the surrounding shadows where hidden individuals lurked.A sudden attack without prior knowledge of the situation would undoubtedly result in significant losses. In addition to the exterior defenses, there were over a dozen people inside the house.Turning to the captain, Eric instructed, "Immediately devise a battle plan. With so many defenses, silently taking Smith away is impossible. There will undoubtedly be a fierce battle. Establish the evacuation route."As Eric conveyed his orders, he received a message from Sylvia—she and Ruth had sighted Smith. Their appearance confirmed his presence, signaling that the capture plan could proceed.Exhaling deeply, Eric remarked, "Truly cunning as a fox! After all the twists and turns, we will finally take action!"He couldn't help but feel that Smith was excessively cunning, suggesting that impatience might have led to giving up.-Meanwhile, inside the house.
