After hanging up, Eric printed out the transfer order, stamped it, and handed it to Roger. "It's still early today. My plane is waiting for you at the airport. Once you arrive in King City, deploy immediately. We can't delay this matter!""Yes, sir" Robert replied, taking the order and swiftly assembling his team to leave.He marveled at Eric's financial power, having even his own private plane. He also admired Eric's generosity, letting them use his private plane. Such a person deserved to be in a high position.Robert rushed to King City with his team and immediately started investigating.Normally, such a case could be transferred from Salt City to King City. However, Eric only trusted his people and felt reassured with Robert personally handling the case.When he returned to the Williams residence, it was already past 2:00 p.m.Amelia had the kitchen bring out food, saying, "Eric, you haven't eaten yet, right? No matter how busy you are, you must remember to eat first."He
As night fell, Irvin and Josh returned home.Andy also visited the Williams residence to pick up the boys. Recently, Andy had been managing the company, taking the boys to school in the morning, and picking them up from the Williams residence in the evening.It was a repetitive cycle that was expected to continue for a long time. But he found joy in it. When he visited the Williams residence in the evening, he could still discuss work-related matters with Eric. Now, he had assumed full responsibility for the Innova Group, while Michael oversaw the overseas division.Avoiding errors in decision-making was his primary objective. Even when facing significant choices within the company, he would seek Eric's counsel, particularly considering Sylvia's opinions.Andy was aware of Eric's recent busyness. Despite still being on maternity leave, Eric had little time for rest.Nonetheless, Eric didn't mind the hustle. He found joy in spending time with Sylvia and cuddling their newborn. De
Eric felt awkward.After the Williams family had prepared the meal, he brought it over to Cody and Max without having eaten anything himself yet. However, refusing such hospitality was difficult. Amid their conversation, Lora raised the issue of textbooks since she hadn't heard any updates about it."So, only this subject's textbooks have a problem. Are there any alternative textbooks available?" he asked."Yes." Lora nodded. "Usually, there are several sets of textbooks available, at least two. There are also alternative textbooks approved by the Education Department. The problem now is that nobody knows if the alternative textbooks have the same issue.""Alright. I'll send someone over to check it out later. If there are no problems, we'll replace them all."Lora smiled, looking at Eric. "Mr. Johnson, do you have time this weekend?"In her view, people like Eric ought to enjoy ample free time on weekends. She had also seen news about the Innova Group, and their employees usuall
Yvette's celebration party wasn't extravagant. Sylvia and Eric just invited a few tables to show their gratitude.In a little over a month, Sylvia's figure had returned to its previous state, which left Eric somewhat regretful. He actually preferred Sylvia with a slightly fuller figure.Thanks to Eric, Sylvia recovered well, and her figure remained unchanged.After the party, they fulfilled their desires.Eric noticed that Sylvia seemed to have gained even more charm than before.-Robert returned to Salt City, satisfied with the conclusion of the case. However, the files weren't kept there—they were stored at the Combat Department headquarters in King City.The impact of this case was immense, and many people were arrested. When Robert reported to Eric, he concluded that their enemy had infiltrated the country's ranks.Even though the case was closed, Robert was still indignant. "The enemy's desire to harm us never dies. As expected, Catellon is involved. We have targeted a Ca
If Catellon were truly friendly, they wouldn't unleash viruses or target their children. Their objective is clear—they sought to sabotage the next generation.By destroying it, it would be easier for them to make a comeback.Warfare had evolved—it was no longer solely about seizing land with military might. The destruction of a country's ideology was far more alarming. The Combat Department had recognized this shift and had been actively engaged in multiple operations in recent years. Their focus was on uncovering truths and devising effective countermeasures.Roger understood these matters. "Now that we are strong and our weapons have made great progress, Catellon dare not confront us head-on. As such, they want to undermine us from within." Eric smiled. Regardless of public opinion, as long as the decision-makers understood the essence of the matter, the enemy wouldn't be able to infiltrate them.Perhaps their methods may seem extreme, but so what? It was because they had rea
Andy's grin stretched from ear to ear as he couldn't contain his joy when Elly delivered a chubby little boy. It was truly fulfilling for him—with a wife, a child, and a flourishing career, everything seemed perfect. He even took a month off for paternity leave, entrusting all company affairs to his assistant.Sylvia had brought Mell over from Williams Corp., ensuring she was well-versed in the company's operations. Having grown alongside the Innova Group, Mell proved more than capable of temporarily handling all aspects of the company.Eric even joked about Mell taking over the Innova Group and retiring early with Andy, but it was clearly unrealistic. Mell still had some shortcomings, after all.-Since Elly gave birth, Blake and Melinda also visited, bringing eggs and chicken from their farm as gifts."Hey, Elly, during Sylvia's confinement, she ate half a hen and ten eggs a day. How much can you eat?" Eric teased.Sylvia blushed. Coming from a wealthy family, she had eaten ple
"It's just for this subject," Lora said.Eric nodded. "A few months back, when we delved into the school catering issue, we caught quite a few culprits. I thought we had them all, but it appears there are two separate groups involved."Let's opt out of using this version of the textbooks. We'll stick with the alternative ones. Before the new semester kicks off, I'll head to King City. Seems like we need a thorough investigation here."Eric bid farewell to Lora and left.Eric and Sylvia then hurried over to King City to meet with some individuals.With the new semester at the holistic medicine college looming, Eric needed to show up. Thus, he seized the chance to address everything in one go.-At the Montgomery residence.Alexander cradled Yvette in his arms, unable to hide his joy. He glared at Sean and said, "Look at you! You're just a year older than Eric, but he already has a daughter! Where's yours?"Sean was rendered speechless. "Dad, haven't I been busy these past few y
How difficult was it to join a prominent family?Take Eric, for example. He was Grace and Julius' son. His ability to get this far with Sylvia was partly due to luck. If he hadn't been skilled in martial arts, possessed an exceptional memory, and hailed from a prestigious background, his marriage to Sylvia would've likely ended within three years. That was inevitable given their differing social circles.It was Eric's talents that piqued Sylvia's interest. As their interactions increased, so did their feelings. These prerequisites were crucial. Joining prominent families wasn't a simple feat, after all."Type? There isn't much variety there. Few families rival ours in wealth nationwide. I'm acquainted with the offspring of these families in King City, and some aspire to marry into ours, but often with ulterior motives."Above all, she must be virtuous! In my view, those who've achieved world championships or wield significant influence in their field are acceptable. At the very lea
