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

    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

    In terms of innate talent, Eric was unparalleled, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts. With a single punch, he sent the 'God' flying."Good!" Stealthbane shouted with excitement.The ultimate enemy had finally been defeated, bringing peace to the world. Eric sighed in relief.However, in the next moment, the 'God' stood up again. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "You have successfully enraged me!"Everyone braced for a potential massacre, but instead, the enemy turned and fled.Could Eric let him escape?"Chase him!" Stealthbane commanded.Allowing this foe to escape would spell endless trouble.A group of people pursued the enemy, who soon reappeared clad in iron armor."Not seen this before, have you?" The 'God' seemed to have recovered somewhat. "Did you think I only research viruses? Wrong!

    The sturdy floor lay in utter disarray.In desperation, Ruth shouted, "Eric, don't give him any more chances! Finish him off swiftly, or we'll face endless trouble!"Eric was well aware of this logic. As he fought, he said, "He's incredibly strong. Taking him down quickly isn't possible! We must fight to the death!"Eric had never feared battle. Besides, this might very well be his final fight.Their fists clashed fiercely.The 'God' also noticed that Eric was growing more formidable as the battle progressed."How do you have so much strength? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to control the world? We could have anything we desire!"All the world's wealth, women, and resources would be ours to enjoy. Why won't you listen to reason?" he roared.Eric's momentum didn't falter. "I don't share your grand ambitions. I just want a simple life with a job that pays 1,000 dollars a month and a warm home with my wife and kids. But you, you've disturbed my peace!"The 'God' was fu

    The 'God' grew more courageous as the battle raged on, causing Stealthbane to worry incessantly.In another high-stakes clash, Eric and his opponent both retreated. Eric sensed his opponent's growing strength, finding it rather peculiar.The 'God' clenched his fist. "I must thank you! My techniques were slightly incomplete, but I've managed to fill the gaps through this battle!"Eric marveled at his opponent's genius. To mend something incomplete was indeed a rare talent.Despite Eric training with the complete manual, he could only match the 'God' blow for blow. This person was terrifying!The opponent's confidence soared. Although Eric had trained with the full manual, the 'God' felt his innate talent far surpassed Eric's. If he could match Eric with an incomplete manual, now that he had perfected it, wouldn't he be unbeatable?"I thought you had potential and considered inviting you to share this world with me," the 'God' said, his tone turning icy. "But now, I see it's unnece

    Stealthbane even felt that Eric might not be a match for the "God."The power was overwhelming.The terrifying aura was enough to crush everything. To an ordinary person, this was a real deity—the strength possessed had already transcended human limits.Eric made his move with a burst of speed. The clash of their fists created a thunderous explosion, and the sound was so intense that Stealthbane felt his eardrums might shatter.This was a battle of the highest caliber, one that even a legend like Stealthbane could not hope to join.Seeing the two evenly matched, Stealthbane sighed in relief. At least there was a chance that the strongest combatants were neutralizing each other. The outcome was still uncertain.Eric shook his aching fist, his expression grave. The opponent's strength was as he had anticipated. If the ultimate boss of the Luminous did not possess such combat power, it would be absurd.Clearly, this "God" had also gauged Eric's strength.He extended a hand toward

    Stealthbane knew that the figure facing them must be the ultimate leader of the Luminous.Suddenly, he no longer wanted to die. If he could hold on just a little longer, it would all be over."Mr. Johnson, these people don't seem ordinary. Could that leader be the ultimate figure of the Luminous? Are we about to complete the game?" he whispered.To him, this mission to the Ark felt like a game: defeat the final boss, and victory is achieved."If I'm not mistaken, it should be. This person gives me... a sense of danger," Eric said.Upon hearing this, Stealthbane felt reassured.Just a sense? That meant the problem wasn't too grave!The leader on the opposite side turned to Eric. "I didn't expect you to make it this far. I underestimated your strength, believing my Ark was impregnable, that no enemy could breach it. But why are you so persistent? Why such determination?"He suddenly screamed in a fit of hysteria, "I have so many people! Such a grand scheme! It has all succeeded!

    Brent shouted desperately, "After you get on your knees, they'll kill you all, and we won't survive either! Kill them! Kill them all!"He understood the situation with stark clarity. Kneeling meant certain death. If they had to die anyway, fighting back would be their only chance of survival.Eric sighed. "Mr. Rogers, in the end, it was we who implicated you. But this place must be eradicated, and the Luminous must be destroyed as well! Everyone, attack!"As the battle commenced, the masked man immediately struck Brent with a punch.Eric charged in. "Die!"He knew that Brent was unlikely to survive. This punch was his way of avenging Brent.The masked man spun around, trying to block Eric's punch. But the speed of the blow was too much—the gust of wind from the punch arrived before the fist did.It was an instant kill.The masked man had no time to react before Eric's punch collided with his chest. The terrifying force shattered the mask on the man's face, revealing an unfamili

    Stealthbane was blinded by rage. He was killing anyone in sight, his fury unrelenting. They had ventured deep into enemy territory, where every encounter seemed to be with an adversary.Eric and his team from the Combat Department showed no mercy.Yet even Stealthbane's resolve was wearing thin."I can't kill them all! It feels like every master in the world is concentrated here!" he shouted in frustration.He felt the number of people he had brought was insufficient. If he had brought a few thousand more, he might have been able to overrun the place.Stealthbane was overwhelmed by the sheer horror of their situation. Fortunately, they had arrived. If anyone else had come, they would have met their end here.The numbers of the masters seemed endless."Damn it!" Stealthbane cursed angrily. "There are too many of them, and they're all exceptionally powerful. What kind of game is this?"He was tempted to retreat, but where could he go?Eric sent an enemy flying, pushing forward

    "I was opposed to coming in from the start, but as you all know, the Rogers family is extremely complex. If we hadn't entered, I might have ended up dead. At least if the virus isn't a threat, that's something!" Brent poured himself a cup of coffee and continued. "These people are ruthless! They want to kill everyone outside the Ark and establish a new order, managed by a select few. It's insane!"You don't need to tell me—I know you're here to kill them."He then pulled a small token from his pocket. "This is our Rogers family's privilege here. It allows us to move freely between different levels. With this, you can go anywhere!"Stealthbane grabbed it eagerly. "Why didn't you mention this earlier? Things will go much smoother with this!"Brent sighed. "Once you've handled everything, could you take me out with you? I really don't want to stay in this dreadful place any longer.""Sure!" Eric nodded. "We'll definitely call you when we leave. For now, we're heading out."Brent e

    Everything was ready, but they couldn't just walk in.Ruth instructed the Combat Department to conduct a three-day intensive training for everyone, focusing on coordinated combat.-After three days, the forces led by Stealthbane moved out, first dismantling the outer defenses of the Ark. This was their specialty!A large group of several hundred arrived in front of the Ark's entrance. At first glance, it resembled a mountain.Jack scratched his head and said, "Is this the gate? I don't see any door."The Holy Templar's people arrived as well. St. Pius said, "Everyone, don't rush. Wait for two minutes. Once the gate opens, we need to get in quickly. I have other plans inside, but once we're in, it's going to be a life-or-death battle! No one should show any mercy!"Stealthbane flexed his fists and replied, "Do I look like a good guy to you? Just watch me deal with them!"No sooner had he spoken than there was a tremendous roar. The ground shook, and the door of the Ark swung
