Eric hung his clothes on the rack and said, "She reported it to the police just after work this afternoon. We should have some results in a day or two."It's infuriating how people spread rumors without knowing the full story. When I picked up Max this afternoon, a parent asked me if Lora was easy. Can you believe that?"Sylvia didn't immediately grasp what Eric meant.A few seconds later, she understood. "What kind of people are these? Twisting words and taking things out of context?"She spoke as she headed to the bathroom to wash her face.When she came out, she saw Eric reading a book. She sat down beside him.After glancing at him, she suddenly asked, "Hey, do you want to know if... she is easy?"Eric was exasperated. "Can't you be serious for once? My lady, can you behave properly?"Sylvia chuckled. "I'm just considering things for you! Imagine back in the day when men had multiple partners, indulging in variety every night. They must have been so happy!"Nowadays, it's
Pleasure had its cost, after all.Robert, along with two officers, approached Jason.Sensing he was in trouble, Jason bolted as soon as he saw them in uniform.The scene quickly became a spectacle.Jason, who had been boasting endlessly, was now being apprehended? But why?Though no one knew the exact reason, it was clear Jason had committed some wrongdoing. The words he had spoken and the so-called facts he had presented were likely fabrications.Jason didn't get far before Robert and his team pinned him to the ground."Let me go!" Jason shouted. "I’m a foreign citizen! You can’t arrest me! You have no jurisdiction over me! What crime have I committed? Why are you arresting me?"Whether Jason was genuinely clueless or pretending, his remarks were absurd. Claiming Robert had no jurisdiction in Salt City was ludicrous.Robert handcuffed Jason, stating, "You know exactly what crime you've committed. The Internet is not beyond the law, and being a foreign citizen doesn't exempt y
Entering the direct admission course of the Innova Group had brought immense fame to Salt City University. Each year, countless students vied for those few spots.Over the years, Salt City University's national ranking climbed several tiers. The university's main draw was indeed the Innova Group's direct admission course. The admission scores for these classes were even higher than those of first-rate universities.After hanging up, Eric smiled and said, "Professor, everything's been taken care of. Jason has a prior record, and he’s not a citizen here, but he will still be detained for 15 days. After that, he’ll clear things up and apologize."Tobias nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but ask, "Eric, your relationship with Commissioner Wilson...""Friends!" Eric laughed. "I won't hide it, Professor. We've worked on several cases together, so we have some connections."Tobias understood. That explained it.Tobias wanted Eric to stay for dinner, but Eric declined. He had a beautif
Before leaving Haevon, Stealthbane sent over the first set of data.Though it wasn't much, it gave Eric a preliminary understanding of the virus.Its fatality rate was significantly higher than the virus that had appeared in Dortmund City a few years ago.Eric sighed. "This is not looking good."Sylvia sat down beside him. "If worse comes to worst, let's halt our overseas operations temporarily and bring everyone back. After all, our lives are the priority."Could this be an enhanced version of the Dortmund City virus?" Judging by the situation, the Haevon virus seemed to be more severe than the Dortmund virus. It had an extremely high fatality rate and was highly contagious.From Eric's understanding, high fatality and high contagion rates were inherently contradictory for a virus, as they went against the principles of biological evolution.A creature's instinct was survival and the continuation of its genes.For a virus to survive, it needed its host to stay alive. If the
Pierce and Ruth, along with the others, were all dressed in the highest-grade protective suits. Only Eric’s hands were exposed as he needed them for examination. No one else felt comfortable checking on Pierce and Ruth, only Eric.Soon, the car door opened. A person from the Combat Department stepped out of the vehicle carrying a box. After undergoing two rounds of disinfection, he finally met with Pierce and the other two. Handing over the box to the relevant personnel, he said no more, and Eric immediately began his diagnosis.After a considerable time, Eric finally nodded slightly. "No problem!"Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell me about Haevon. So many days have passed, and only two people have died there? I find that hard to believe."When the Dortmund virus first began to spread, many people died quickly. How long had it been since the virus appeared in Haevon?Pierce had learned from the news that only two people had died, but he never trusted the other countries'
Pierce wanted to test the virus on himself.The laboratory had been researching for several days but couldn't find an effective cure. Despite this, Pierce still believed in Eric. He thought Eric might have a solution for the virus. If he got infected, Eric could treat him. They needed to find a cure for the infection, after all.However, Eric wasn't the only one opposing this idea. Ruth and others from the Combat Department also objected. After all, Pierce was the one overseeing the whole situation. If something happened to him, who would take charge?"Master, let me do it," Ruth said, glancing at Eric. "If anything goes wrong, Eric can take care of me. You can't afford to be incapacitated. The Combat Department can manage without me but not without you."She had a clear grasp of the situation. Eric had examined her thoroughly many times, probably knowing every mole on her body. If she tested the virus and something went wrong, Eric would know how to handle it."I'll do it," Pierc
Pierce trusted Eric's judgment, especially since Eric was an expert in this area. When the renowned Orion was alive, he could accurately predict a patient's remaining time based on their condition. Even though Eric hadn't inherited all of Orion's knowledge, he was still remarkably close.Three days felt too short for Pierce. The medical system simply couldn't react fast enough. By the time they were ready to start treatment, the patient would already be gone. Worse still, the virus was highly contagious."What about the treatment?" Pierce asked again. His primary concern was finding a widespread solution. Ideally, there would be a drug that could be mass-produced.Eric sighed. "There is a method, but it's very difficult. There are probably only 20 or 30 holistic physicians nationwide who could handle it. If the infection spreads widely, this method won't work."Before the virus outbreak in Salt City, there were about 50 such holistic physicians. Unfortunately, over the past few yea
Pierce marveled at the couple's deep bond. With such a strong relationship, what chance did a third party have?After exchanging a few words with Sylvia, Eric went back to his work. He needed to assist the senior experts in compiling relevant data and deriving useful insights from it.Although he often claimed he was idle at home, Sylvia couldn't help but feel concerned when she saw him so busy. After all, Eric was her husband. What wife wouldn't worry about her spouse?As Eric busied himself, Pierce approached and sat across from Sylvia. For a long time, he said nothing.Feeling the weight of his gaze, Sylvia grew uneasy."Big Boss, is there something you need?" she asked, sensing something unusual in his look.Pierce chuckled. "It's nothing much. I just wanted to chat about Eric. I heard that in Salt City, he's been... courting women? One of them being a teacher?"Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed by this. Eric, courting women? It seemed like he might have, but then again, maybe n
