Neither of them knew each other, and Matteo wasn't sure if Eric would help him. He knew that getting medical help from famous doctors in King City was tough. Matteo had even tried to invite those well-known holistic physicians several times, but received no response.He saw Eric by chance today and decided to give it a try.However, if Eric refused to help, Matteo would have no choice but to accept his luck. Offending a holistic physician, especially a renowned one, could lead to retaliation from underworld figures. Holistic physicians were rarer than underworld leaders. There were many leaders, but holistic physicians were scarce.When Matteo made his request, Eric nodded and said, "Let me take a look."Matteo's face lit up with joy, and he quickly pulled a chair next to Eric.After Eric examined him for a moment, he said, "You must have practiced kickboxing for a long time, right?"Matteo was surprised by Eric's insight. He hadn't expected him to know so much just from a quick
Matteo had been neglecting his injuries, which were affecting his ability to use inner energy. If he didn't seek treatment in time, he might have to retire from the world of martial arts."Please, Hol. Johnson, you've got to help me!" Matteo pleaded.However, Eric shook his head, catching Matteo off guard. Thinking Eric might be seeking compensation, Matteo hastily offered, "Just state your price, Hol. Johnson!""It's not about money," Eric said.Matteo recalled that Eric was Orion's sole apprentice and Grace's son. Money wasn't a concern for them—it was just a number.Eric continued. "Mr. Deluca, your injuries can't be cured quickly. I haven't had much time lately. You must be patient and avoid martial activities during this period."Matteo was overjoyed. He had been under the impression Eric wouldn't help him, so he quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Hol. Johnson!"Eric waved his hand and stood up. "I'll take my leave. If I have time, I'll let you know.""Sure! Sure
In the morning, after getting ready and having breakfast, Eric and Sylvia prepared to leave.Sylvia said, "Madam Baresi, we might be away for a while. A person named Vince will come by later. You should get to know him. He's one of us."Eric and Sylvia had decided to leave Vince there to keep an eye on things as a precaution, preventing the imposter from taking advantage."Alright." Felicia nodded. She was also worried when she learned that someone was impersonating Eric, and she was pretty certain that he would come here again.The couple left the imposter issue behind and embarked on a journey to explore the beauty of their country. They had been married for over a year, yet they had not traveled together to appreciate the wonders of their country.With a planned itinerary, the final destination was the Celestial Sage Sanctum. After visiting the sanctum, they would return to Salt City.By the time they returned, projects at the Innova Group would likely have made some progress.
The ZenBlade Martial Institute and the Celestial Sage Sanctum were equally renowned, but they had different focuses. Zenblade excelled in martial arts, especially punches and swordsmanship.Father Amorth waved his hand and said, "It's nothing worth mentioning."After taking a sip of tea, he continued. "Now, you can share your situation with me.""Okay." Eric nodded.Even now, he couldn't explain how he had gained his inner energy. Basic breathing techniques didn't work for Andy, Sylvia, and Tyson. Yet, Eric could generate inner energy incredibly fast.He explained the origins and incantations of the basic breathing technique in detail. However, the more Father Amorth listened, the more he furrowed his brow.After Eric finished, Father Amorth said, "Indeed, it is a very basic breathing technique. We have relevant books here, but...""But what?" Eric asked.Father Amorth continued. "The breathing technique you practice is similar to ours at the Celestial Sage Sanctum, but there a
"Looks like you two are having a good time," said another voice.It was the person responsible for traveling to Salt City to determine the wedding date for Brook and Misty, Father Oregon Preston."Why did you open the Scripture Tower for him?" he asked. "There are notes from various generations of priests in our sanctum, as well as some secret manuals…"Father Amorth smiled and replied, "It took us a lot of time and effort to reach where we are now. He's extraordinary. The breathing technique he practices is unique. It may appear ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there is more to it."I couldn't comprehend it, so I could only allow him to try it in the Scripture Tower. The breathing technique he's practicing should remain his secret. Since he shared it with me, I'm simply reciprocating his generosity by opening up the Scripture Tower to him."Remember, our sanctum is open to the public. There are many sanctums in this world, and it's fate that brought him to us
Regarding Sylvester, it was just a sense of duty. He believed Seraphine was already his woman."Is that right?" Eric chuckled. "Sylvia and I are still deeply in love!"Seraphine rolled her eyes, thinking Sylvia and Eric were the epitome of true love.-The Pettersons' mansion in Dortmund City had become desolate after several months. Fallen leaves were scattered, and the landscape had grown wild, losing its shape. The place hadn't been cleaned in a while.A few days ago, it had been auctioned and bought by a mysterious buyer.A figure stood at the mansion's entrance, gazing at the desolate building. Several tall, burly men were behind him.Kenneth Petterson had returned to Dortmund City."How's it going in Salt City?" He clenched his fist. "What's the progress?"One of the men stepped forward and said, "Mr. Petterson—"Before he could finish, Kenneth glared at him. He quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Johnson... Everything is going smoothly. We've gathered a lot of information,
Kenneth had worked hard to impersonate Eric effectively. The Hernandezes saw him as their key player. If played well, it could bring unexpected results.Eric and Sylvia had no idea Kenneth was in Salt City. Life was peaceful for the married couple. The Innova Group's product lines expanded, and Sylvia considered visiting Williams Corp.After Lucas had slashed her face, she hadn't been to Williams Corp. In the eyes of the company's senior executives and employees, Sylvester had become the CEO in Sylvia's absence.Still, Sylvia's authority remained. When she entered the building, the employees greeted her."Ms. Williams!" Her former secretary almost cried, "You're finally back."Sylvia smiled. "I'm just here to look around. Sylvester is running the company now. If I join another company in the future, I'll bring you along."While she had a secretary she was accustomed to, she needed retraining. She wasn't familiar with many business aspects and wasn't proficient in them. Andy still
The group chatted until the afternoon, then headed to the Williams residence.Eric occasionally checked the rearview mirror on the way, his brow furrowing."What's wrong?" Sylvia asked.Eric shook his head. "Maybe it's just my imagination, but I keep feeling like someone is following us."Sylvia glanced at the rearview mirror but saw nothing behind their car. Still, she couldn't shake her worry. This situation felt all too familiar. When Lucas had posed a threat to her in the past, he had sent people to track her and Eric. Could their enemy be employing the same tactics?Sensing Sylvia's concerns, Eric reassured her, "We should stick together. Let's not separate."Little did they know that, in the past, it was Lucas who had monitored Sylvia, leading Eric away from her. However, this time, their target was Eric.-After dinner at the Williams residence, the couple returned to the Rosewood Estate.Eric once again felt they were being followed and kept checking the rearview mirro
