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
Andreas was known as Scar among his peers due to a fierce scar on his face. The scar, left by a swordsman, was a source of pride and motivation for him.Sitting beside him was Kenneth, whose face bore many scars. Scar assumed Kenneth to be ruthless, thinking he had intentionally disfigured himself. He also marveled at the Hernandezes' wealth, which allowed such transformations. Money could indeed work wonders.A person entered the room and addressed them, "Mr. Auer, Mr. Kenneth. I've tracked the person you mentioned. He's living in the Rosewood Estate, had dinner at the Williams' family mansion, and then returned home. That's all we've found."They were tracking Eric, acting on Kenneth's orders.Scar drummed his fingers on the table and glanced at Kenneth. "Who do you want to deal with first?"Kenneth replied indifferently, "He can't die yet. If he dies, Mr. Hernandez's plan won't work."There was another layer of meaning that Kenneth didn't express. If Eric died, Kenneth would l
"Mr. Kirkby," David called out as he nervously took a seat in the chair indicated by Tiger. Tiger was a prominent figure in Salt City's underworld scene, leading the local gangs for years. His presence commanded respect, striking fear even in the younger gang members.Tiger nodded and had someone bring a cup, placing it in front of David. He was generally courteous to his subordinates.Tiger said calmly, "Speak. What's the situation?"David took a sip of his tea, trying to ease his anxiety. "Mr. Kirkby, I've located the people you mentioned."Tiger frowned upon hearing that. "Get to the point. Where are they?""They..." David hesitated. "They are... right outside the villa."Tiger stood up in anger, slamming his hand on the table. "David—"Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a fight erupted outside. A battered man rushed in and said, "Mr. Kirkby! Someone has broken in!""Arm yourselves!" Tiger shouted.His men hurriedly went upstairs.David was bewildered, won
