Eric turned to Jessica and said, "Let's just forget about it."Jessica felt frustrated. She had some clues and wanted Eric to apologize without asking for too much. However, Eric's attitude was too indifferent, and she couldn't understand why he didn't seem to care at all.Was Eric resistant to beautiful women? He didn't even want to talk to her anymore.Eric didn't mind, but Jessica couldn't bear it any longer. Keeping this secret was causing her great discomfort, and she needed to speak out.Thus, she blurted out, "Some time ago, the Hernandezes acquired several high-tech companies, including a network company. They can manipulate online opinions easily, including using internet trolls to boost popularity."Eric frowned upon hearing that. Jessica's information was somewhat expected, but it also had unexpected elements."What's their purpose behind this?" he asked.After some thought, he realized that this matter required a lot of effort with uncertain rewards. Why would the He
Grace sat down and remarked, "There have been numerous recent incidents of holistic medicine being suppressed, with capital playing a significant hidden role."In addition to domestic capital, foreign capital is involved, but there were usually warning signs. This time, however, it was sudden and unusual."Grace had a deeper understanding of the situation, often seeing things from perspectives that Eric couldn't grasp.Eric was about to respond when the Montgomerys' housekeeper entered the room and said, "Mr. Montgomery, Ms. Watson has arrived."The Montgomerys and the Watsons had connections. Alexander knew why Jessica had come but couldn't stop her.Shortly afterward, Jessica arrived, full of energy."Mr. Montgomery, Madam Montgomery, my dad asked me to come and check on you."Alexander and Grace smiled, realizing that Jessica had ulterior motives.Grace cautioned, "Jessica, please avoid wandering around too much lately. There's someone in King City who looks exactly like Eri
Eric didn't pay much attention to the Hernandezes' affairs. As long as they didn't harm the people around him, he wouldn't take any action against them. From his mentor to the impostor, he might consider showing his skills to the Hernandezes in his own way.After dinner, Eric prepared to leave, but to his surprise, Jessica followed him. He turned abruptly and asked, "Ms. Watson, what do you like about me? I can change it. How about that?"He used the words Sylvester had once said to Seraphine, which seemed fitting for the current situation."Are you not going to Matteo Deluca's place?" She said, "They are a group of thugs, and I'm going with you to protect you!"Eric was astonished, wondering what Jessica, with her petite frame, could protect him from. At that moment, Jessica's phone rang—it was a call from her family. After answering the call, Jessica decided not to follow Eric any longer.-At the Montgomery residence.Grace put down her phone and remarked, "Jessica is quite
Matteo's excitement mingled with anxiety. He had heard of Eric's reputation but had never witnessed his healing abilities. Rumor had it that Eric had only studied holistic medicine for a few months.Even some esteemed holistic physicians had failed to tackle the mysterious ailment. Could Eric truly provide a solution?On the other hand, Eric exuded calmness. After successfully healing Sylvia's facial scars, acupoint treatment was a breeze for him.As Matteo lay down, Eric initiated the treatment, and Matteo could feel warmth permeating his body within minutes.Matteo couldn't help but exclaim, "Hol. Johnson, your skills are quite impressive."Eric smiled and maintained his silence. Acupoint treatment was firmly grounded in scientific principle. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken nearly two months to heal Sylvia's scars.Matteo chuckled. "Hol. Johnson, compared to the holistic physicians I've encountered, you are the real deal. They used to boast a lot, but when it came to problem-
Matteo asked, "Does Hol. Johnson have plans regarding the Hernandezes?"Since the Hernandezes had caused Orion's death, it was only natural for him to seek vengeance. Eric nodded without concealing his intentions. "If it's possible, I do have some plans."He contemplated reviving the methods he once used against the Pettersons. However, there were many formidable fighters in the underground scene of King City, and Eric hesitated to take any rash actions. Matteo smiled and said, "If Hol. Johnson wants to make some moves in the underworld, it's quite straightforward. You only need to say the word, and there are plenty of people in the underworld willing to eradicate the Hernandezes."This was the extent of Eric's influence today. He didn't even need to act himself. Eric nodded. "Let's discuss it further later. There are other matters to attend to in the coming days. I'm done with your treatment."Matteo stretched his muscles and said, "This is truly miraculous. I feel lighter a
Parting was agonizing for the loving couple, but they both had their own distractions to ease their longing.After a lengthy phone call with Sylvia, Eric reluctantly ended the conversation. He lay on his bed, tossing and turning before eventually falling asleep.In the dead of night, a shadow infiltrated the villa and approached the corridor. A dagger was discreetly inserted through the door crack, gently unlocking Eric's room.The lock clicked open, and Eric abruptly opened his eyes.Moonlight streamed through the window, revealing a figure standing by his bedside.The figure raised its hand high and thrust it downward toward Eric.Instinctively, Eric used the blanket to shield himself from the dagger and swiftly rolled to the other side of the bed."Huh?" The shadow in the darkness was taken aback.Eric promptly illuminated the room. A man dressed entirely in black brandished a dagger.Eric furrowed his brow. Someone had tried to assassinate him on his first night in King Ci
At the scene, there were three crucial pieces of evidence: a dagger, bloodstains on the floor, and surveillance footage.This left the personnel handling the case in shock since there hadn't been any assassination attempts in King City for many years. The police collected all the evidence.Later, Felicia remade Eric's bed and asked, "Mr. Johnson, should we inform Mrs. Johnson? This seems like a significant matter. Hol. Thornfield has been here for many years, and nothing like this has ever happened."Eric shook his head and reassured her, "It's very late, Madam Baresi. You should get some rest."Felicia left, but her worry lingered.With this incident on his mind, Eric couldn't sleep. He pondered who might want to kill him.Could it be Javier? Eric didn't want to jump to conclusions without evidence.Eric sat in the living room until morning, then called Matteo, who might have more information.Matteo arrived promptly with some of his subordinates, taking this personally as an
The King City Grand Hotel was bustling with activity. Experts from various medical fields, representing major hospitals, had been invited. This time, the criticism against holistic medicine was stronger than ever, and it showed no sign of letting up.On the other side, professionals from the holistic medicine community had also gathered.Eric recognized some faces from Orion's retirement ceremony, but the renowned veterans of holistic medicine were notably absent. Their absence wasn't solely due to their age—they chose not to partake in these disputes, deeming them unimportant.Nevertheless, many holistic physicians were eager to defend their reputations. Eric's presence seemed to unify them.Amid the heated debates, he remained silent.An elderly holistic physician beside Eric said, "Hol. Johnson, they've been very aggressive. The doctors here are top specialists in their respective fields."The doctors appeared formidable, and Eric could see that holistic medicine was currently
