Several men lunged at Jack. In the next instant, Jack raised his hand and repelled them effortlessly. "Mr. Ford, I'm trying to help you out of goodwill, and you act like a dog biting the hand that feeds it?"Themos stood there, dumbfounded.'Good grief! Who is this guy, and why won't he leave me alone? What have I done to deserve this?'Thankfully, Jack wasn't completely unreasonable. "Since you don't appreciate my help, there's no point in me staying. Goodbye!"With that, Jack walked out.Themos finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Jack had continued to bother him, he wouldn't have known what to do.Call the police? Even if they came, could they handle this guy?"What a weirdo!" Themos muttered.-Downstairs, Jack glanced back at the Frontier Tech building and snorted. "A CEO of a billion-dollar company, so crude and unreasonable! Mr. Johnson is much more civilized. No wonder he built a three-figure billion-dollar company while you're stuck with a few billion."The differ
Jack, the troublemaker, had finally been dealt with. If he harbored any ill will toward the Innova Group, Eric wouldn't have tolerated him. But the guy was just a fool, weaving grand dreams of creating a perfect world. Who could achieve such a thing?Wherever there were people, there were complications. The world wasn't just about fights and struggles. It was about human relationships and myriad personal interests, desires, and benefits. The nature of the human heart ensured that perfect dreams and perfect worlds exisedt only in pure imagination.Eric found Jack to be quite the oddity, a real headache. At least for the next few days, it seemed Jack wouldn't be around, giving Eric some peace.But it wasn't long before Andy came in, sighing deeply."What's wrong, Andy?" Eric asked.Although there were many issues with the Innova Group, not much usually troubled Andy.Andy sighed again. "I just don't get it. My parents are driving me crazy. My son is almost ready for kindergarten, y
Lora sighed. "It's surprising that such a large company like the Innova Group lets you leave early. Aren't tech companies supposed to be obsessed with overtime?"Sylvia smiled. "That's other companies. We're different. If we don't need to work overtime, why should we?"Of course, when there's a tough challenge, we do put in extra hours, but the overtime pay is always fair."Lora nodded repeatedly, thinking the Innova Group was truly great.Sylvia asked in a low voice, "By the way, do you know why your dad invited us to dinner?"Lora shook her head. "I'm not sure. He just told me to arrange a meal with you all."They soon arrived at her home, where the food was already prepared. Tobias had even brought out a fine wine he had been saving for over a decade, clearly valuing this meal highly.After a couple of glasses, they chatted about everyday topics.As the conversation turned to children, Tobias sighed. "Our hair has turned white, and we only have Lora. In recent years, we've b
In the afternoon, Jack made a rare offer to treat Eric to a meal. Jack considered Eric one of his own, or at least he believed so.Eric initially declined, but Jack personally visited the Innova Group, determined to ensure that this meal took place.Eric was curious, "I've heard you live deep in the mountains and forests. Where did you get the money to treat me to a meal?"Jack's face showed surprise, "Seriously, Mr. Johnson? You thought we lived in the deep mountains and forests? Who told you that?""Did I... guess wrong?" Eric was also puzzled.Jack laughed. "Of course you did. We also live in big cities. Otherwise, how would we stay informed about the world's situation and development? We just aren't as profit-driven and don't participate in most conflicts."As for money, we do have some. We operate a few small companies, so while the money isn't much, we certainly have enough for expenses."For the first time, Eric's perception of so-called sages and strategists began to cha
Jack shook his fist, still puzzled. "I just asked what you guys were here for. Why do you all want to fight me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"The men exchanged glances but still charged at him.Jack, now furious, roared and bravely fought against the dozen men, showing no fear.When Eric and his group arrived, they saw Jack fiercely battling the assailants. Not a single one could match him—he was quite formidable."Wow, who is this guy?" Matthew was bewildered.Hearing the commotion, they had rushed over, only to witness Jack dominating the fight.Eric chuckled. "So this fella knows martial arts too. I thought he was just a helpless altruist."If anyone had underestimated him, they would have been deceived by Jack's appearance.Matthew and his brother joined the fray. In no time, the trio had all the attackers on the ground. The Locke brothers then tied them up with ropes.Rubbing his hands together, Jack walked over. "Mr. Johnson, who are these people? I just asked them wh
Jack felt he could no longer manage the Innova Group alone. He began seeking support.Eric ignored Jack. After apprehending the individuals, he instructed the Lockes to start the interrogation. It was confirmed that these people were from Haevon. Their goal was to destroy the Innova Group's production facility and seize the existing data, preventing the company from producing the vaccine.They knew that once the vaccine was distributed globally, their plan would be completely dismantled. The strategy of using the Haevon virus to reduce the population and establish a new order would die at this stage of execution."The enemy's desire to destroy us is relentless!" Michael clenched his fist. "But this also proves that we have hit them where it hurts! Once the production capacity of the vaccine meets global demand, their plan will collapse!"He felt fortunate to stand by Eric, fighting against the enemy together. Although the enemy remained hidden while they were exposed, Michael still
Just as Jacob sat down, his eyes suddenly brightened. Not far away, a tall woman was approaching.Jacob reached out, grasped at the air, and then touched his head. "Whoa! Her head's almost as tall as mine! How can she be so tall?"He whistled and intercepted the woman, who turned out to be Anna."Hello, beautiful!" Jacob adjusted his hair. "Are you here to see someone at our company?""Yes," Anna replied without glancing at Jacob. "Is Eric here? I have something to discuss with him."Jacob was surprised, thinking, 'Another one looking for Eric? It seems like Eric's charm is still unbeatable! Every woman who comes to see him is stunningly beautiful.'Jacob couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Eric's luck with women. Why didn't he ever have such luck?However, Jacob didn't let everyone looking for Eric in without question. He smiled and said, "Miss, many beautiful women come to see Mr. Johnson. As the gatekeeper of the Innova Group, I have the right to ask about your relationsh
Eric was stunned by Anna's audacious words."Change the taste? Is that something one can just switch?" Standing up, Eric addressed her, "Ms. Hunter, please respect yourself. I’ve seen all kinds of women and faced countless challenges."He laughed softly before continuing. "Let me remind you, silicone might look good now, but as you age, it can cause breast blockages and even severe sagging."Anna was livid. She gritted her teeth. "Eric, you just wait!"She had hoped to seduce Eric, but he was completely unfazed. Not only was he indifferent, but he also mocked her by implying she had gotten a boob job. It was a blatant insult, especially since she was all-natural.-Back at her place, Anna took a large gulp of water from her mug, her frustration visibly intense.Jack chuckled. "Sis, did you hit a wall? I told you, they're not that easy to deal with!"He continued to scroll through his phone.Anna glanced up and noticed he was reading old news about the Innova Group, seemingly t
