Martha made a move against Larry, catching them off guard. What surprised them even more was that Martha exposed Larry's shortcomings right in front of so many people.Who could bear such humiliation?They knew that after tonight, the Pentra family's situation would change once again. It changed too darn fast. Hadn't it only been a few days since Bryce's death? Were these shameless uncle and niece duo going to escalate things even further?Martha's expression suddenly turned icy cold. "Larry, it seems like you're already at your wit's end. Go accompany Bryce and Mark! The three of you can keep each other company in hell!"With that, she picked up a piece of broken glass from the coffee table, intending to put an end to Larry. She moved closer to him while Larry stared at her intently."Sending you on your way!" Martha didn't waste any more time. She knew that the night was long and full of terrors, and many villains met their end due to excessive chatter.However, in the game of
"A woman?"Eric furrowed his brow. He knew Martha was a deviant who swung both ways—men and women alike were not safe from her hands."Go ask her where she took the person. Also, Mr. Dede, you can leave for now. I'm sure the folks from the Pentra family have already returned."The Pentras could only watch as John and a few other distributors left under their noses. No one dared to make a move.Larry chuckled, saying, "Mr. Johnson, we've released the captives. Shouldn't your grudge with the Pentra family end here?""As for Martha's nonsense, will you listen to what this woman has to say?"Eric remained silent.Vince approached and grabbed Martha. "Speak! Where did you take the woman?"Martha glared at Vince. She knew the Pentra family's fate was sealed. It seemed Larry didn't dare to challenge Eric.Lora was her last card. Could she really reveal it to Eric and hope to get away?"Hell! Quite resilient!"As Martha remained silent, Vince's patience wore thin, and he slapped her
The clash of fists reverberated with a crisp crack, eliciting a gasp as the individual was sent flying backward, landing heavily beside Larry.Larry's gaze fell upon the scene, and he couldn't help but inhale sharply. The man's fist had vanished, leaving only a bare stump!It was terrifying. Such a result from a clash of fists was unimaginable."Capture him! Death to those who resist!" Eric's voice was filled with rage. "The Pentra family has conspired with the Luminous! Excellent! Just based on this, your family's demise won't be enough!"Larry didn't even struggle. He knew that any resistance would lead to certain death.The man remarked grimly, "Since you know we're affiliated with the Luminous, why not let us go? Otherwise, you'll find yourself with nowhere to bury your corpse!"Eric chuckled. "Is the Luminous that formidable? While in Catellon, I killed a transcendent Catellonian shadow warrior of the Luminous, in Dortmund City, I eliminated a significant figure of the Erwes
The sharp command startled Martha. But when she saw Bryce, she was even more frightened out of her wits!The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she kept stepping back. "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost? Who are you?!"She clutched her head, hysterical.The appearance of Bryce had greatly frightened her. She had assumed Bryce had long been dead. After eliminating Larry, the Pentra family would be hers. But she hadn't expected Bryce to be alive and well.This meant her original plan had completely failed. She wasn't the one controlling the situation.Larry sighed too. In the end, he had miscalculated. None of his moves had succeeded. Bryce wasn't killed, nor were the people of the Innova Group.With Eric's current identity as the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department and his invincible combat power, the Pentra family lost completely. The people from the Combat Department quickly brought Lora over, fearing Martha's psychotic outbreak and violence. She couldn't
"I'll check first," Pierce said.The information the Combat Department had on aristocratic families was not extensive. At least, not specific enough. Many details were still unknown.Take the Pentra family, for example—among the information Pierce had had on them, Bryce was a legend, but the name of the other legend remained elusive.-Eric awaited news.Before that, he had to return to Salt City. With the collapse of the Pentra family, the affairs in Westlake City had come to an end.John and other distributors came once again to thank Eric and Sylvia, as well as the Innova Group, escorting them to the airport.-In Salt City, Eric commenced comprehensive treatment for Vince's injuries. Despite years of martial arts practice, Vince had never experienced injuries as severe as this, aside from previously damaged tendons and bones. Now, with a broken arm added to the list, Eric's medical expertise came into play. Resetting bones proved to be a manageable task for him—it merely ne
Knowing that Tobias was also Lora's father, Eric felt somewhat impolite just dropping by like this.Seating himself, he began to explain, "Prof. Kensington, the thing is, I didn't know you were Lora's father. I came today to treat the scars on her face..."Tobias snorted coldly, "I've been feeling lately like my daughter's acting strange like she's caught up in some romance. We've asked, but she won't say. Could it be you're her boyfriend?"If Eric hadn't been married, Tobias wouldn't have minded. Over these years at Salt City University, if one were to talk about success, Eric's name would inevitably come up.The university had invited him several times to give speeches to the younger students about entrepreneurship and employment, but Eric had always been too busy. Besides, Eric himself didn't know what to say.The establishment of the Innova Group was entirely Andy's idea. Without Andy taking the lead, there wouldn't have been the Innova Group.Meanwhile, his career those firs
Tobias was somewhat surprised, "Eric, you know medicine too? That wasn't your major in college. Besides, Salt City University doesn't offer such a major, does it?"Eric chuckled. "It's a long story. I met a gifted holistic physician later on, who became my mentor. I learned a few things from him, so dealing with scars and such is not a problem."He instructed Lora to wash her face first before beginning the treatment.When Lora saw the silver needles, she was a bit nervous, but a glance at Eric reassured her.She thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if life could just be like this forever?'"Don't move around too much, and try to keep your facial expressions as steady as possible," Eric advised.Lora's injury was recent, so completely removing the scar wouldn't be too difficult or time-consuming for Eric.After Eric finished the treatment, Tobias confirmed that Eric indeed knew medicine.'This fellow knows so much. Isn't he the CIO of the company? How did he become a physician?'He c
As Eric departed, Tobias' expression darkened.It was an unpleasant turn of events.He turned to Lora, his tone edged with concern, "Lora, do you harbor feelings for Eric? We have no family ties in Westlake City, yet he was there, and so were you. Don't tell me you're indifferent to him."He expected Lora to refute his assumption, considering Eric's marital status and fatherhood.To his surprise, Lora nodded affirmatively. "Dad, you're correct. I do have feelings for him. There's a certain allure about him that sets him apart from others."Isn't it the same for you, Dad? Mom mentioned the countless admirers you had in your college days."Tobias felt a flush of embarrassment.Why dredge up ancient history now?He sighed heavily. "I understand your sentiments, but love is akin to a flame attracting moths. You've been taught to be bold from a young age and not to just have courage but also act upon it."Eric is undeniably remarkable. From his humble college days to establishing t
