It wasn't just a matter of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions. The millions spent in Nutikiville over the past few years were already beyond his imagination!Delilah slapped her thigh. "So that boy has really made it big, huh? Someone told me yesterday that Eric took Salt City's mayor to inspect the reservoir. I didn't believe it then, but now I do!"She realized Eric was no ordinary person. It would be wise to stop messing with his family's chickens, lest he called Elijah, and the Johnson family might never recover from that.Though she didn't know how powerful Eric was, she knew how significant Elijah was. In ancient times, such a figure would be like the ruler of Salt Province!To Delilah, even the local police station officers were like deities. Interacting with the station chief was the pinnacle of her social reach. Yet, even those officers were out of her reach.She decided not to provoke Blake's family anymore. If she couldn't afford to offend them, it would b

Having done something wrong, he was very anxious, even considering escaping through the back door. Quickly dressing, he saw that Ruby had left as well, so he opened the back door and fled.Ruby was still at the front, calling out, "Officer, come inside and sit down. The dumplings will be ready soon. We can chat while we eat.""My son has been very well-behaved lately! He's been staying home every day, not causing any trouble. You can be absolutely assured!"She was unaware that Kayden had scratched someone's car paint and punctured the tires, let alone the fact that the compensation would be so high.The two policemen remained silent. After a few minutes, one of them said, "Why isn't he coming out? Even if he went to the bathroom, he'd be done by now.""Let's not wait anymore! Let's go in and get him!"Ignoring Ruby's attempts to stop them, the two policemen entered Jared's house. Inside, there was no one to be found. They went to Kayden's room and realized he had escaped."Chas

Gavin approached. "Mom, did you see everything? Please don't cause any more trouble. If anything gets damaged, my salary can't cover it!"He noticed another new, expensive car parked in front of Eric's house and feared Delilah might impulsively damage it, just like Kayden had done.Delilah snapped, "I'm not stupid enough to ruin something so expensive! At most, I might throw a few stones at their chickens. Chickens aren't worth much, are they?"But don't worry, I know how powerful his family is. I won't mess with them anymore!"She had learned her lesson and didn't dare to provoke them again.After a moment, she added, "But Gavin, you tell me: he's doing so well now, so why doesn't he take care of his relatives? If he casually gave us a few hundred thousand dollars, it would be enough for our retirement!"Even tens of thousands would do!"Gavin was speechless. "Mom, why would he give us anything? He doesn't owe us! Besides, getting me a job at Williams Corp. was already a big fa

Seth pointed at Jaden and said, "What can you do with just over 300 points? We don't have a King City household registration. It's hard enough for you to get into a university! We're just ordinary, common folk."Kids from poor families need to study harder. Without education, how will you find a way out?"He had always firmly believed in this principle.There were indeed a few who succeeded without studying, but they were a rare exception, one in ten thousand.Studying meant more opportunities. Without it, one had nothing, and even if an opportunity arose, they couldn't seize it.Eric sighed and said, "Jaden, listen to your grandfather. I own a company, and to get into my company, you need at least a bachelor's degree. Without that, there's no chance."Some positions even require a master's or a doctorate. Your grandfather has worked hard to provide you with such good conditions. You should cherish it."Eric spoke from experience.Back in the day, his parents had gone to great

The Crimson members likely knew that Michael and Shadow were brothers, yet they still dared to go after Michael. But why?Eric had already thought it through. Over the past few years, Shadow, the second-in-command of the Crimson Order, had probably been sidelined! Only in this way could a legend from the Crimson Order bypass Shadow to assassinate Michael!Eric even doubted whether Shadow could return from his quest for revenge. With this thought, he took out his phone and called Stealthbane. "If you're not busy, come to Phoenix City. It's getting quite lively here."Stealthbane, also a legend in his own right, was a powerful ally. Upon receiving the call, he immediately rushed to Phoenix City.A short while later, Michael woke up. Seeing Eric sitting by the bed, he weakly asked, "E-Eric... why are you here?"Eric replied, "Don’t speak. I came as soon as I got the call. Shadow found out that a legend from the Crimson Order was after you and went to seek revenge."Their motive isn'
