Pierce was stunned by what he heard!'Sylvia actually has such... resolve?'He had no idea that it wasn't just Eric's family who wanted a son, but Sylvia herself and Eric both desired it too.Who wouldn't want both a son and a daughter? But often, things don't go as planned.Pierce was trying to figure out whether Sylvia was serious about what she said. If it was true, then Ruth might meet the criteria?'I might need to discuss this matter with Ruth. Still, it depends on whether Eric agrees.'However, with Sylvia being so considerate, how could Eric ever agree? He would never betray Sylvia in this lifetime.'Sylvia didn't take Pierce's words to heart. If there were no signs of pregnancy in the next few years, she might persuade Eric to consider that path.She had already thought about potential candidates. Both Lora and Ruth were beautiful and came from respectable backgrounds. More importantly, Eric was very familiar with them, making them ideal choices.However, Sylvia and E
Eric slept for an entire day. When he woke up, he felt completely refreshed. Seeing Sylvia sitting in the room, he was startled."You didn't stay up all night watching me sleep, did you?" he asked."Of course not," Sylvia replied. "I couldn't stay up any longer than you could. When I got sleepy, I slept too. It's already noon outside."Eric hadn't noticed the time. Knowing that Sylvia was by his side, he had fallen asleep quickly. However, he was still concerned about the vaccine. "Did the formula get sent back to the Innova Group? We need to produce the first batch as a backup. The virus is merciless!"Eric knew how severe this virus was. Treating an infection meant racing against death itself. Any delay and death would claim its victim."Don't worry," Sylvia said. "I've already called Andy. They're setting up a production line in the next couple of days. Based on the formula and usage instructions, they'll produce a batch for backup."Big Boss has also sent people to Salt City
"Maybe once they come back, they'll stay here for good and never leave again!"Grace was very perceptive about the situation. If an ordinary person had said this, it wouldn't have carried much weight or credibility. But Grace was at that level, and putting herself in that position, she could understand the benefits of such a maneuverThese individuals spent their best years abroad, but when it came time for retirement, when foreign countries became unsafe or chaotic, they thought of returning home. Even if they had changed their nationality, they'd shamelessly claim, "We're all compatriots; my hometown is right here!""Mom, this isn't something for us to worry about," Eric said. "Even if those who changed their nationality can't come back, those who still hold our nationality, like overseas students and business people, have legitimate reasons to return."The simplest example was Sean. If he were abroad and knew the situation there was dire, he would certainly want to come back, an
Raising children was not something Eric and Sylvia needed to expend energy on, at least for the time being.-A few days later, the Innova Group completed the transformation of its production line and immediately began manufacturing. While this batch of vaccines could generate revenue, everyone, including Eric, Sylvia, Andy, Pierce, and Ruth, hoped the medicine would not be needed and wouldn't sell at all.The situation abroad was dire.When it became evident that the virus was extremely virulent, it had already spread widely. Numerous deaths were reported in Haevon, and other cities also experienced fatalities with similar symptoms.The Rogers family called Eric, hoping he had a solution.In this world, some people wanted to die, but many more wanted to live, especially the super-rich who feared death the most. Wealthy families often spent significant amounts to maintain a team of specialized physicians, all in the name of prolonging life.This was how Eric learned that Faustar
If the Innova Group had been taken over by Donald, they wouldn't have produced this vaccine. So, where did this idea of making a fortune come from?Eric finally spoke when he saw Donald remain silent. "Mr. Ford, there's something you might not have figured out yet. Our production capacity is very limited. The vaccines we're producing now are just for reserve use."Every place needs to stockpile some. As of today, we haven't even finished distributing nationwide, so how can we have excess for export?""Our principle is to ensure the safety of everyone domestically first. As for making a huge profit, do you think the Innova Group still needs to make that kind of money now?"Donald was stunned. He couldn't believe such words came from Eric. In his view, whether it was Eric, Sylvia, or Andy, they were all businessmen. And businessmen were driven by profit. How could they possibly leave money on the table?But the Innova Group truly didn't want to make that money.Donald protested, "M
An infected person appeared at King City International Airport.The moment the infection was detected, everyone from passengers to crew members, as well as the aircraft, were immediately quarantined.The virus was terrifying, and no one dared to be careless.After the initial quarantine, the next step was to test for the virus. The first batch of vaccines produced by the Innova Group had already been delivered to King City, and it was now being put to use.At this time, the Combat Department ordered non-essential companies to halt production to prevent the virus from spreading. While people could enter King City, residents of King City were not allowed to leave easily. This led to widespread fear and anxiety.Salt City was unaffected. After opening an additional production line, the pharmaceutical capacity reached its peak, but that was the best they could do. The shortage of raw materials meant production couldn't increase any further. Both the Innova Group and its raw material s
Eric also received the information: some suspicious individuals were lurking around the pharmaceutical production base."Are these people really aiming to eradicate humanity?" he pondered aloud.Eric had already deduced that the sneaky individuals must be connected to those who released the virus. However, he still couldn't understand their motives. Wouldn't it make more sense to release the virus and then sell the vaccine for immense profits? Just like the Innova Group, if they exported their produced vaccines now, they would certainly make a fortune.From a businessman's perspective, maximizing profits was always the goal. Clearly, if those behind this wanted to get rich, they could simply release the vaccine now. But they hadn't, which left only two possible explanations.One, the virus releasers simply didn't have a vaccine. Or two, as Eric suspected, they never intended to create one—they just wanted to eradicate humanity.Upon hearing this, Sylvia sighed. "Luckily, we have
Due to the virus, many operations have come to a halt. Even technological research and development had faced some disruptions. The Innova Group's vaccines would not be exported for the time being, not even if requested.The Combat Department had tightened security at the production base to ensure safe production. For Pierce, the production base was currently the lifeline, and no negligence or accidents were allowed.Currently, the Innova Group was under scrutiny from various parties.To ensure safety, even the Lockes had joined the security team. With over ten grandmasters stationed there, those with ill intentions had little chance of succeeding.For many years, the brothers had been dedicated and diligent, making significant contributions to the Innova Group, often accompanying Eric on his travels.Although the Combat Department personnel was stationed there, this base was ultimately the Innova Group's asset. Every evening after dinner, the brothers would patrol the area and do
