"What the heck was happening, why didn't I notice them before?" Eric muttered under his breath looking around.His heart had already calmed and he was just a bit surprised at the moment. The airport was filled with cultivators ranging from the Qi Foundation to the Golden Core.Besides, they seemed to have a special way of hiding their powers, and even a Nascent soul wouldn't have been able to know.If not for the fact that the system helped Eric increase his strength, he was afraid that he would have not noticed."System, by chance, do you know the future?" Eric couldn't help but ask, the shock in his heart was yet to reduce."That's your business. You're still weak, and thus, even if I say it, you won't be able to understand." The system's harsh reply came just as Eric had expected.Eric shook his head and walked towards the place where he would meet Sophia. Since the stakes were extremely high, he had to make sure that he was the first to meet her, or else there would be a little bi

Immediately, Eric stripped on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop."Is there anything wrong?" He turned around asking Sophia, his voice trembling.Sophia squinted her brows staring at Eric. She had already seen what was happening and was sure that with the way Eric was driving, he would be able to keep the distance between them till they arrived at a safe place.He was just too good and his driving skills were rather unparalleled. Where she worked was an automobile company.Furthermore, with her interest in cars, she could be considered to be a bit of a racer. But when compared to Eric, she would be trash.If she was the one chasing after him in this situation, she was sure that she wouldn't be able to catch up with him.Could it be that Eric was one of them who was just trying to pretend and get close to her so he would be able to kill her in one swoop?But if that was the case, he should have already taken action. Besides, he was scared, though he was scared, he was still able to

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the men run away. She knew at the moment that she was safe.Though she wasn't sure, she knew some information and could guess that they were from the defense department.Charlotte, on the other hand, had an unpleasant smile on her face as she walked towards Sophia.Though she didn't know what happened, she couldn't help but curse at Eric in her heart.He didn't take action and yet he was going to reap all the rewards. What a sly fox.If she had known, then she wouldn't have involved him and then all the credits would have gone to the defense department alone...Then Sophia would be willing to work for the government, and that was going to be a big boost to them since, in no time, they were going to experience a change in their technology.But it was Eric who was taking all the gains, as a result, she couldn't help but feel a little bit angry at Eric.He was just too cunning and there was nothing she was able to do about it. She wouldn't have ta

"Here's it," Charlotte said, passing a small book to Eric.The book looked old, but the insides looked like they were new.Browsing through the contents, Eric shook his head and then walked toward the sofa and collapsed on it with a sigh."What's wrong?" Charlotte asked anxiously.Though she didn't fully trust Eric, he was far stronger than her and she couldn't even see which realm he was.If it was just a realm higher, then she would have been able to see it, but she was not able to see it, this showed that he was far more powerful than her.Besides, he didn't read through the manual at all and just brisked through and then shook his head. What a godly speed that was.She was sure that Eric must have been disappointed which was why he shook his head.Eric, on the other hand, was shocked in his heart. Immediately he held the book, he heard the system's voice telling him all the names of the cultivation technique and then the flaws inside the book.Then the System asked if he wanted to

"Would you mind listening to what I have to say?" Sophia sighed, looking rather helpless."Fine, but I'll be giving you just a minute to say all you have to say." Charlotte agreed, her voice Cold.Sophia sighed in relief seeing that Charlotte agreed to listen to her. This meant that she was not dumb and could already guess what had happened."Well, the reason I was pursued is this." Sophia sighed as she recounted what had happened and how the company she had worked for helped her."So you're Sophia Tonks," Charlotte asked, her face lit up in surprise."Yes." Sophia nodded, feeling rather relieved.This time, she knew that her family's reputation was not going to save her, but rather her own.She was a genius, and thus, she was sure that as long as the defense department were not fools and wouldn't want to lose someone like her, then it was all good.Otherwise, she would be condemned to her fate and there was nothing she would be able to do about it other than lament."So what do you w
