Eric had arrived!In his grasp was the transcendent shadow warrior.In Smith's eyes, this scene was astonishing—even the transcendent shadow warrior had been slain!Smith's heart sank to the depths.Tonight, he had set up an ironclad net there, even summoning a transcendent shadow warrior, leaving no room for error. Yet, the transcendent shadow warrior had been killed!Considering the whole of Catellon, such experts were few and far between.Eric tossed aside the transcendent shadow warrior, not even bothering to learn his name. It didn't matter. To him, a transcendent shadow warrior was no different from a weakling."You all leave first!" Eric declared, "The guy I just killed mentioned they've already alerted the authorities and mobilized the military. You all evacuate first."He pointed at Smith. "I'll bring this guy along and catch up later. Ruth, initiate the backup plan!"The entire plan had reached its critical moment—the women would leave first!Sylvia didn't hesitate,

"Lieutenant General Johnson, steady the course a bit, I'm going to use laser guidance for the strike," said his subordinate.Upon hearing this, Eric slowed down the pace. Several missiles flew past overhead, causing chaos among the pursuers behind."Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" shouted his subordinate, taking over Eric's position.With a few missiles launched, both the blockade and the pursuers disappeared.Eric and his companion swiftly reached the dock and boarded a speedboat, racing toward the depths of the ocean.Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief. With friendly warships patrolling the waters, they were essentially safe at sea.Before long, they could see escort helicopters and flares fired from the warship.Eric and his subordinate boarded with Smith. He handed Smith over to the crew on the warship, saying, "This guy has two broken ribs, but no internal injuries. Treat him and make sure to secure him tightly!"Smith was a formidable fighter. Although he couldn't mat

As silence engulfed the room, Pierce spoke up. "I know some folks back home might have weak spines, some of you might even be among them! But in our department, we can't afford to be weak!"Of course, I consider spinelessness a disease. Luckily, we have excellent doctors in our department. Perhaps they can cure your weak spines. Whoever wants treatment, speak up. I'll ensure it happens!"A chill ran down someone's spine!Was that even a cure? Who dared to speak up for treatment?!Someone immediately chimed in. "Heh, General Fischer is mighty, boosting our national pride!" Although they might have wanted to take down Pierce, he wasn't someone they could handle. In fact, he had the power to turn the tables on them!Glancing at the time, Pierce remarked, "It's late, everyone should rest. You don't need to worry about the cruise missiles' launch. We will handle this matter with Catellon."People started to rise.Now they understood why Pierce had ordered the cruise missile's launc

The days of Eric and Sylvia quickly returned to normal. For the couple, those were all things they ought to do, nothing to boast about.-Back home, Sylvia cradled Yvette in her arms.Amelia earnestly advised, "Taking care of Yvette is my responsibility since both of you are busy with important matters!"Amelia felt gratified.What if Sylvia was a girl? The tasks she performed might not be any less significant than those of men!Looking at the four siblings in the family now, Sylvester, the eldest, and Sylvia, the youngest, stood out as the most promising. Sylvia had indeed brought honor to the Williams family."Let me take care of Yvette. You guys should go to work," Amelia said, looking at Sylvia. "The Innova Group can only thrive under your leadership, after all."Sylvia said, "Mom, there's no need for my leadership. The Innova Group is already very stable. Revenue is increasing every year, even every quarter. Everything's fine."Amelia insisted that she go to work.Andy a

Sylvia didn't elaborate on that statement, leaving Eric to ponder it on his own.-Back at the Williams residence, evening life consisted of taking care of the children, allowing Amelia to rest. After all, one couldn't let the grandmother be busy from dawn till dusk, could they?With a moment to spare, Amelia found it easier to have a chat.Approaching Sylvia, who was entertaining the children, Amelia glanced around to make sure they had privacy before speaking in a hushed tone. "Sylvia, please don't forget about Eric when you're caught up with work. I was concerned when he left for Catellon."Sylvia chuckled. "Mom, what are you worried about? Eric is quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have successfully brought Smith back for trial."Amelia gave Sylvia a knowing look. "That's not what I mean. You wouldn't understand as an insider, but I'm well aware. For women, youth spans from 18 to 30, maybe a bit high till 36 or 37. But once they've had children, it's downhill. However, for
