Upon hearing these words, Eric knew that Jacob was asking for money from Andy.Andy couldn't understand. "Eric, isn't she just a coquettish female streamer? What's so appealing about her? He is not only watching her but also spending money on her, just to watch on the phone. What's the point?""With so many beauties in the Innova Group, if he paid a little attention, he wouldn't still be single by now!" Eric remarked. "Young people chase after novelty. Once the novelty wears off, it'll be fine."Andy couldn't help but sigh. He sat down and said, "Actually, we are only a few years older than that kid, but it feels like we're much older. Time really doesn't spare anyone!"Andy's sigh was not without reason.The rapid development of the Innova Group had led him to interact with older individuals, and those who were not older hardly reached this level. It was unlike those big families that had started grooming successors early on.This also led Andy to feel that he was already quite

"Prepare an empty suitcase. Let's go over there and see what's going on first," Eric said.The empty suitcase was merely for show.Andy's confidence seemed to increase with Eric by his side.-The two quickly arrived at Salt City Grand Hotel.Standing at the door of the room, Andy glanced at Eric. Seeing Eric nod, he knocked on the door.The door opened, revealing a bald man who looked at Andy. "You're Jacob's brother? Did you bring the money?"Andy lifted the suitcase and patted it. "The money's here. Where's my brother?"Before he could finish speaking, Jacob's voice came from inside the room. "Andy! Andy! I'm here! Help me! They're going to castrate me! I'm scared! I haven't even touched a woman yet!"He burst into tears immediately.Andy pushed past the bald man and entered the room.Inside, Jacob was tied up on the bed.Next to the bed were several fierce-looking men, along with a young woman whose appearance was passable.Seeing Andy's arrival, the burly man with a g

"For these trivial matters, Eric actually came all the way here! If there's a next time, I won't care anymore! Go die wherever you want!"Andy was truly furious! He had assumed the lesson from Ava would make Jacob wiser, but unexpectedly, he fell into their trap. It's also because Eric had some influence that he managed to resolve this matter easily. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would arise?"Andy, I dare not anymore..." Jacob looked aggrieved. "I just wanted to quickly find a girlfriend and get married. Who knew they'd set me up?! I even lost 10,000 dollars!"Andy shook his head speechlessly.Eric said, "Alright. Andy, the matter is settled. Let's first go to Nutikiville."Seeing the two getting into the car, Jacob hurriedly approached. "Andy, Eric, can you drop me off at the company first?""Get lost! Get a taxi yourself!"Andy raised his leg and gave him a shove.-Later at Nutikiville City Hall.Hank greeted Eric warmly upon his arrival.In recent years, Nuti

"Blake is quite thrifty. What if he eats one of those chickens? If he ends up dead, what then?" Richard exclaimed, his tone sharp with disapproval. He couldn't fathom using rat poison to kill someone else's poultry.Poisoning chickens was one thing, but if it escalated to loss of human life...Richard may not have been well-versed in law, but he grasped the principle of "an eye for an eye." If Delilah were to receive a life sentence, Gavin would be left without a mother.-Eric and Andy were oblivious to the fact that the chickens Blake raised had been targeted. When Blake finished stewing the chicken, they savored every bite.Though not an extravagant dish, it evoked childhood memories—a few pieces of chicken, a bowl of broth, a simple delight.Eric had invited Hank over to share a few drinks with Blake. They wouldn't be staying long as they had to return to Salt City by evening.After a few drinks, Hank reassured them about the herb cultivation venture. He claimed that next

Surveying the scene, Eric swiftly discerned the situation at hand. During the meal, Blake had mentioned the incident of the injured chicken, implying that if the chicken hadn't been harmed, they wouldn't have enjoyed its taste tonight.Now, it appeared that Delilah was responsible for attacking Blake's chickens. Wasn't this a case of the thief crying "stop thief"?Hank was known for his impartiality. Otherwise, the Nutikiville villagers wouldn't have elected him as their mayor.Delilah's face turned livid. "Who says I went and harmed their chickens? Which of you saw me throwing rocks at them? These are baseless accusations! Watch out, I'll sue for defamation!"Her agitation was evident. It was clear Hank wasn't taking her side. From her perspective, Hank either needed to be fair or had ulterior motives favoring Blake's family. It was odd for him not to defend them. 'Birds of a feather flock together, indeed!'Andy chuckled. "You can't put it like that. My father-in-law has surveil
