Hearing about potential troubles, Robert was stunned.Still, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Troubles? So what? We still need to handle the case we are assigned, and we have to catch the perpetrator. If we retreat just because it's troublesome and stop investigating, what's the point of wearing this uniform? Whoever commits a crime must face severe punishment! We can't let them go free!"Eric nodded slightly. Having a strong sense of justice was a good thing."Tomorrow, I'll bring in two people to cooperate with your work. Investigate it thoroughly, and once you identify the culprit, don't hesitate to make the arrest," he said."Okay!" Robert nodded in agreement.From the information Eric received, he knew that this case was far from simple. It was impossible for an ordinary person to directly hit someone's heart and cause immediate cardiac arrest. Only a skilled martial artist could achieve such precision.During the night, Eric contacted two grandmasters from the C
Money couldn't fix everything, but it provided security and opportunities.Sylvia chuckled. She had never experienced life without it. She had been showered with love from the Williams since she was young. However, she knew that many people in the world were facing hardships.-After breakfast, Eric and Sylvia visited Winston's place.Spotting Eric, Winston chuckled. "Well, well, being young is truly wonderful, isn't it?"Eric blushed. "Hol. Clarke, let's focus on the complicated medical case you mentioned."It might be a challenging case for Winston, but it was a piece of cake for Eric.-Leaving Winston's, Eric sighed. "I'm afraid I can't go out like this today."Sylvia laughed. "Are you implying it's my fault? I told you to stop, but you're the one who ignored me. Anyway, we still have to go to the office. I have a lot of documents to go through today."Eric felt a bit helpless, knowing Sylvia teased him deliberately.-Soon, they arrived at the Innova Group, and Eric st
Keith lowered his head again when Eric told him to apologize to Roland and Valerie.Irvin was exasperated and smacked Keith's head, thinking he didn't want to apologize to them. "How could you be such a coward?! People always say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Yet, how did I end up with a son like you?!"Irvin was frustrated. As the heir of one of the most prominent families in Salt City, Keith shouldn't be so timid."It's okay," Eric said. "Keith, we'll go to Dortmund with you tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Draco. It's about time for me to visit them. You can use the chance to apologize to them as well.""Sure! Sure!" Keith nodded. After all, Eric had joined the underworld before and was quite familiar with people like Tiger and Roland. With him by his side, he felt more at ease.Sylvia could barely hold herself back from laughing. However, she had often dealt with Keith and was accustomed to his behavior.-Early the next morning, Eric, Syl
If Roland really thought that way, then it would be over between Keith and Valerie.Irvin felt the need to say something, quickly adding, "Mr. Draco, Keith absolutely didn't mean that. I have never looked down on you, either. If I really judged people based on this standard, I wouldn't have become sworn brothers with Eric!"He was relieved that he had brought Eric with him.Roland was aware of the sworn brotherhood between Eric and Irvin. He nodded and said, "Mr. Sonnex, you're right. Anyway, let's not dwell on this. I've ordered my chef to cook us some dishes. Let's enjoy ourselves later!"Irvin nodded.After the meal, Roland did not prolong their stay, and his somewhat indifferent attitude clearly indicated that it was time for the guests to leave.Naturally, Irvin understood his intention and took the initiative to depart.Irvin smacked Keith again in the car and warned, "You're lucky that Roland decided to forgive you this time. If there's another time, you'll be on your own
The Sonnexes were known for their wealth and generosity.The priest from Draco Summit arrived promptly. They also needed money for their livelihood and to repair their sanctum. "It's a minor issue. Don't worry too much, Mr. Sonnex," Quintin reassured.Although they typically wouldn't accept such commissions, given the Sonnexes' wealth and Eric's involvement, they made an exception.Irvin respectfully stated, "Father Amorth, please have a seat. We'll send your remuneration shortly!"Quintin waved his hand and handed a card to Irvin. "Mr. Sonnex, this is the account for the Celestial Sage Sanctum. You can transfer the funds directly."Irvin frowned, noticing the Celestial Sage Sanctum's improved handling of their business.Sylvia then asked, "Father Amorth, forgive my curiosity, but how much does a priest like you charge for a commission like this?""Well…" Quintin chuckled. "This isn't a secret, but generally, the amount varies. Sometimes, we don't even charge a penny. Occasion
Madison's case had progressed significantly with the assistance of two grandmasters from the Combat Department.Upon Eric's arrival at the office, Robert and the two members from the Combat Department were present. When Robert observed Eric approaching with Sylvia, he hesitated to reveal the case's progress, mindful of the need for confidentiality.Noticing Robert's hesitance, one of the Combat Department members reassured him, "Sergeant Wilson, no need to worry. Ms. Williams can be considered personnel in the Combat Department!"Reassured, Robert explained, "After reviewing the surveillance footage in the area and considering the murder scene, we can conclude that Mr. Ruske's death appears to be the result of the actions of a highly skilled assassin!"Eric narrowed his eyes, familiar with such scenarios.Robert's conclusion wasn't surprising, given the Combat Department's dealings with professional assassins. While Eric had faced them before, he acknowledged not fully understandi
Now that Sylvia grasped the severity of the issue, she finally understood why Eric insisted on solving the case.Standing at a higher position sometimes made comprehending certain problems challenging. However, things became clearer when one put themselves in someone else's shoes.As one of the Williams, Sylvia had never worried about money and had no idea about life in the lower strata.Basic necessities were never a concern for her, and she naturally did not realize the serious consequences. Sometimes, certain things might not seem to have an immediate impact, but over the long term, they could become a source of endless trouble.-A few days later, Robert and his team returned from Streamville."The situation is critical!" he told Eric. "Mr. Finn has indeed been dismissed for an investigation. If it weren't for the Combat Department's assistance, I wouldn't have been able to meet him!Robert still felt some lingering fear when he talked about the trip. "During this trip, I di
"Who is this?" Eric sneered. "Phoenix City, Eric. Do you still remember?" "It's you?!"The person appeared shocked to hear Eric's name. His voice began to tremble as he said, "W-Why did you call me?""I need your help with something," Eric said. "About a week ago, did any of your people come to Salt City for a mission?""Hold on! Let me check!" the other party replied.After a while, he returned. "I got it. Indeed, someone went to Salt City about a week ago, and their target was someone named Madison Ruske." Eric stood up immediately and said, "Where is he? Tell him to get his ass to Salt City immediately to see me! Otherwise, I'll personally come over to settle the score with you!"After that, he hung up. In fact, he had no idea where Stealthbane was, and he was just bluffing him.Meanwhile, Eric's domineering attitude shocked Robert and the two grandmasters. They had no idea who Eric had called, but they knew it must be someone of high status.Seeing their confusion, Eri
