Certainly, considering that prominent families should avoid heavy personal interests, the banquet continued even after the operation concluded.Grace had harbored such thoughts for a while. The family heads convened to discuss the alliance's rules.Simultaneously, the Combat Department departed.The Feynmans' troubles had started when they sent someone to Westlake, attracting the Combat Department's attention.Capitalizing on the King City Bank incident, they initiated the final battle against the Feynmans, but the mysterious owner did not appear.By nightfall, the Combat Department members stationed at the Feynmans returned. They had captured important figures like Hector, dealing another blow to the Visionary Group."Big Boss, Lieutenant General Johnson, Lieutenant General McClain. Oscar Feynman escaped this afternoon!" reported a subordinate."That's cunning! The Feynmans had the confidence to show up at the McClains. Even so, they were still cautious about arranging his esca

Eric also had a mission. It was a matter he hadn't shared with Tiger and Roland.-Roland appeared somewhat disheveled as he had rushed to Salt City.After settling into their seats, Eric addressed them, "Roland, Tiger, the primary concern revolves around the underground arena in King City. I assume you both are familiar with recent developments there. Currently, Matteo and Leopard have assumed control of the underground arena."Roland and Tiger couldn't help but inhale sharply. They were aware of a mysterious and powerful figure influencing King City's underground arena. Now, with a change in leadership, it suggested that this influential person might have vanished.Eric explained, "The Combat Department acknowledges the existence of underground arenas in all major cities. However, managing them proves challenging due to the substantial number of martial arts enthusiasts and the extensive interests involved. The funds from these underground arenas must undergo laundering before l

Holding a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event.Despite their substantial wealth, the couple remained frugal, residing in a modest single-story home valued at just a few hundred thousand dollars.For Sylvia and Eric, a 200-square-meter house was more than sufficient. Any additional space would only feel wasteful. Their focus wasn't on the wedding. Instead, they were particularly keen on starting a family.With the Innova Group dominating the domestic market, Eric adopted a relatively easygoing approach, free from excessive ambitions.However, once things settled down, he felt a desire for a child."What could be the issue..." Sylvia pondered. "Why can't I conceive?"As Brook's child was about to be born, Sylvia grew anxious.She glanced at Eric. "Could it be that you are too anxious, and the pulse reading is inaccurate? How about we consult Hol. Clarke?"There was another renowned holistic physician in Salt City.Eric was aware of Sylvia's psychological concerns and didn't h

"If this continues, I'm truly worried that holistic medicine might disappear one day," Winston remarked.In Salt City, holistic physicians still existed, but their numbers had significantly dwindled compared to many years ago.The entry threshold for this profession was high, leading to many dropping out during the learning process. Only a handful managed to reach the top. Even Winston, who had taught numerous apprentices, saw only a few succeed.His main concern stemmed from the apparent lack of success in holistic hospitals despite their presence in several cities. While some universities did offer holistic medicine programs, they tended to compartmentalize the discipline into different subjects, even isolating herbal medicine as a separate category, which he found somewhat misguided.The most challenging aspect was for physicians like Winston, who lacked any medical licenses. Operating without a license was like a noose around their necks, restricting their practice."Hol. John

"Although we haven't publicly disclosed the revenue situation, everyone should be aware of our company's financial state, including our annual R&D investment and plans."As Mr. Brown mentioned, our human resources expenses are significant. However, for two whole years, I haven't proposed cutting everyone's salaries."Not only did we refrain from cuts, but we also adjusted everyone's salary according to revenue. When I said no dividends for five years, in fact, a lot of money is included in everyone's annual income."Reviewing our company's salary and benefits, the so-called bonus is almost negligible. If we must distribute it, let's consider allocating 1 billion. Suppose I take only 1,000,000 dollars to distribute among you all and allocate the remaining 9,000,000 dollars in R&D. What are your thoughts on that?"The executives nodded in agreement.While Sylvia's words sounded assertive, everyone knew she was stating the truth. Ultimately, it was up to Sylvia to decide the allocati
