Sylvia felt that the money spent tonight wasn’t quite worth it.Eric said, "Even if you're upset, don't you want this level of combat strength? With them around, we don't need to get involved. Plus, the Lockes and Big Boss can share some of the burden too."He then added, "Besides, it's just a few thousand. I can afford it."Considering all the pressures from various sides, Eric felt that the money was well spent.Back inside the house, he began inquiring about Andy’s situation. There had been attempts to assassinate Andy, but the Lockes' team had thwarted them, capturing several attackers. They were interrogating them urgently.As expected, they were from Haevon and there was a connection to Frontier Tech. Without this connection, they wouldn’t have made it to Salt City so smoothly.-Andy mentioned this matter first thing in the morning when he arrived at the company."Madness!" he exclaimed. "How can those people be so bold?"Last night's events had left him shaken. Even if
"It's you again!" The man across the way, seething with rage, didn't bother with words and attacked.Chaos erupted instantly, the scene devolving into an all-out brawl.Stealthbane stood dumbfounded. "Good heavens, Mr. Johnson. What's going on here? Why are these two groups fighting so fiercely?"He had seen intense battles before, but never like this. They didn't even exchange words before attacking each other as if they had a deep-seated vendetta."Look." Eric pointed to the opponents. "One side is here to kill me and Vee, while the other consists of sages and strategists. They despise evil and can't stand the sight of the other group, so they started fighting.""Good grief! This is incredible!" Stealthbane rubbed his hands together in excitement. He had never witnessed such a thrilling scene before.Suddenly, the adversaries drew their weapons, clearly well-prepared for a deadly confrontation that night."Fall back!" shouted a sage.The opponents brandished iron rods, dagger
Eric stood up and introduced Stealthbane. "As you all witnessed, this man is an expert, and he has some very skilled subordinates."This morning, we received some distressing news. Foreign pharmaceutical companies came to us to buy supplies to combat the Haevon virus, but those suppliers have all encountered trouble. They’ve either been assassinated or had their supplies burned."Since they dared to deal with these people, the vaccine is a powerful weapon that can strike at their heart."But right now, I don’t have enough manpower. You can go abroad with the vaccine to seek revenge. Don’t worry about the expenses. I will cover all your costs for future operations."Upon hearing this, Jack didn’t hesitate and immediately said, "Let’s do it!"The second batch of the vaccine was ready for shipment. The pharmaceutical companies were too scared to buy it, knowing it was not just a cure but also a death warrant from the Innova Group. Anyone daring to touch the Innova Group’s vaccine wou
Since the outbreak of the virus in Haevon, Themos' days had been far from easy. He spent his time sighing deeply."We're out of money! Completely out!" he lamented.The three major international companies had cut off his funding. They were struggling to survive themselves and had no extra resources for Themos. Or perhaps their money was allocated elsewhere.As Themos was lamenting his ill fate, just as he was about to make significant strides, Eric arrived.In an instant, Themos' eyes lit up when he saw Eric, regarding him as a savior. He rushed to greet him. "Mr. Johnson! What brings you here?"At this critical moment, when he desperately needed funds, Themos felt that Eric's visit was likely an offer to acquire his company. Even though most of it belonged to three giants, Themos could still walk away with his share and live quite comfortably.He eagerly poured coffee for Eric and his companions.Eric pushed the coffee aside and asked, "Tell me, how many people have come to Sal
As they were chatting, Sylvia suddenly felt nauseous. "What's wrong?" Eric asked.Sylvia pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth. "I think something I ate for lunch is bothering me. I feel like I might throw up."Eric was slightly startled and immediately grabbed Sylvia's wrist to check her pulse.In an instant, his face lit up with joy."W-What's going on?" Sylvia was still a bit confused. She was feeling nauseous, and he was getting excited?Eric exhaled a breath, hardly daring to believe it. "Vee, you're... pregnant!""Wha... What?"After the initial shock, tears rolled down Sylvia's cheeks. She had waited so long for this day! Ever since giving birth to Yvette, she had wanted a second child, preferably a son for Eric. But despite her longing, her belly had remained stubbornly unresponsive. Sylvia had even started to worry that something was wrong with her body after giving birth to Yvette.Finally, she was pregnant!"Let's go! Time to take leave and focus on nurtur
During the conversation, Grace couldn't help but bring up Julius. When she called Julius from King City to ask if he wanted to join her in Salt City, she learned he had fallen ill.Since taking over the Hernandez family, he had been working tirelessly without rest. Thanks to his relentless efforts over the years, Hernandez Corp. had seen significant improvements, but his health had deteriorated as a result. A few days ago, he had taken to his bed, seemingly in serious condition."He has fallen ill?" Amelia exclaimed. "Eric, aren't you a miracle physician? Go to King City and check on your father!"She knew the complex relationship between Eric and Julius. Regardless of their past, Julius was still Eric's father—a fact that couldn't be changed. Even if Julius had committed unpardonable crimes in the past, he was still Eric's biological father.Sylvia pursed her lips. "Actually... I think you should go see him. Don't worry. We're all here at home. There won't be any problems."Eric
Nera caught up with Eric in the living room. "Eric, wait a moment!"Eric paused, and Nera hurriedly said, "Your father is just that stubborn. He says no, but his actions speak otherwise. Don't take his words to heart, or you'll just drive yourself crazy."Two days ago, he had a fever and kept mumbling, asking for your forgiveness. Sit down, let me pour you a glass of water."Seeing Eric sit down, she quickly poured him water. As she went upstairs, she kept looking back, afraid Eric would leave. If Eric stayed in King City for a few days, Julius' health might improve more quickly.Half an hour later, Nera came back down and sat opposite Eric. "He's already asleep. I'm at my wit's end. They say you're a miracle physician. Could you... take a look at him?"Nera had been crying for days, fearing Julius wouldn't make it. If even Eric couldn't help, they would have to prepare for the worst.Eric didn't refuse. If Julius was asleep, it would be easier—he didn't want to deal with Julius
After taking the medicine, Julius felt significantly better. His energy returned, and his spirits lifted.In the morning, Nera reflected on the effort Eric had made by traveling all the way to diagnose Julius' condition and prescribe the medicine, only to end up having just a glass of water.Feeling that this gesture was insufficient, she decided to invite Eric for lunch if he was still in King City. After all, other doctors would be compensated monetarily, so why not offer a meal?To her delight, Eric was still in King City and accepted the invitation to have lunch at the Hernandez residence."That's wonderful!" Nera exclaimed, immediately instructing the kitchen to prepare a meal. But then she felt a bit anxious. "Julius, what does Eric like to eat? Is there anything he dislikes?"Oh dear! In my excitement, I forgot. You've been apart for so many years. You probably don't know his dietary preferences. Never mind, let's just prepare the best and most expensive dishes."Julius' l
