Julius was puzzled and perplexed. For so many years, no one in the Hernandez family had mentioned distant relatives. Why did they suddenly appear today?Bartholomew declared, "We have learned that in King City, your family is merely a major one. Our family has plans to exhaust all resources to elevate you to the position of a top-tier family!"Julius narrowed his eyes. He didn't even recognize this person before him, let alone anything about their family. And now they claimed they would elevate the Hernandezes to the status of a top-tier family in King City? Was there such a thing in this world?Bartholomew didn't know that Julius no longer cared whether the Hernandezes became a top-tier family. It didn't matter. But if someone else wanted them to become a top-tier family, there must be ulterior motives.Julius was not stupid—he knew that a pie wouldn't fall from the sky for no reason. He asked, "What are your demands?"He was quite curious about this person before him. Mainly bec

It wasn't until the police took Roco away that he remembered his purpose for being in Salt City on business."Hey! They hit me too! Why aren't you arresting them? What's the point of just grabbing me?" he shouted, still in disbelief.Ultimately, he seemed to have suffered the worst of the beating. Both his hands were dislocated, and no one had mentioned anything about fixing them yet.The police officer sneered. "Kid, do you know where you are? They are Salt City's money-making machines! Do you dare mess with our Midas? Are you looking for trouble?"They were always ready to oblige the Innova Group.That was simply how society functioned.As Salt City's largest taxpayer and creator of thousands of jobs, the Innova Group was protected by the authorities. Going after them was akin to inviting trouble from Salt City's officials.Granting privileges to such a major corporation wasn't an issue.As long as the Innova Group avoided major offenses or significant losses, the Salt City a

Bartholomew's attempt had failed, and Roco still had much to strive for.The next morning, around 10:00 a.m., Roco returned to the Innova Group. He reckoned that a company like Innova Group would likely be bustling with meetings in the morning and should start winding down by around 10:00 a.m.Jacob didn't stop him. He knew Roco wasn't one to trifle with—he was a heavy hitter, and if things got physical, it would mean months of recuperation.Still, Roco glared at Jacob. "Stop messing around! Once I take over the Innova Group, you're the first one I'll get rid of!"Jacob stuck out his tongue mockingly. "I'll be waiting! If you can't get rid of me, you're just a loser!"Roco was furious! Yet, at this moment, he didn't dare touch Jacob. It might alert Eric, and he'd undoubtedly receive another thrashing.He vividly remembered he had a mission today. No one was to provoke the Innova Group. 'Ha, even the receptionist at the front desk didn't flirt with me. I just need to see Eric and

As expected, Roco was taken away again. He left, cursing vehemently, visibly upset! He had barely arrived at the Innova Group, and he was already being taken away by the police.If this news got back to the Hernandez family, they would surely laugh their heads off. Getting caught once was embarrassing enough, yet he managed to get caught twice. It's like falling down in the same place twice. How humiliating!"Just focus on your own business," Eric said. "Jacob, next time that guy shows up, let him in."Jacob left with a grin. He couldn't stand Roco, so dealing with him brought him joy."Are you okay?" Eric turned to Lora, only to realize she had been staring at him the whole time. This woman was infatuated.As an educated person, she knew violence was wrong. But the way Eric had slapped someone earlier was kind of... cool, kind of manly!'Why is this man so captivating to women?'Seeing Lora silent, Eric furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you alright?"Lora snapped out of it, sh

Roco was known for his extensive network of connections. Despite being apprehended twice, he emerged relatively unscathed, save for a few unsightly marks on his face.Meanwhile, he had skillfully reset his dislocated wrist and arm without external assistance. Even amidst the scandal he created by harassing women at the Innova Group, the Hernandez family posted a sizable bail for his release, ensuring his freedom."Fucking hell!" Roco muttered under his breath as he exited the police station. "Is there something dubious going on with this Innova Group? I've been apprehended twice… Might a third encounter be inevitable?"He couldn't shake off the feeling of being shadowed.Once caught could be deemed accidental, but twice? That suggested negligence on his part. Seating himself, he contemplated his actions. He concluded that his own impulsiveness had led him astray. If he hadn't flirted with the receptionist the first time, Eric wouldn't have attacked him. If he hadn't groped someone'
