Sylvia was planning ahead. Moreover, the technology required for chip manufacturing wasn't as advanced as that needed for processors.As Sylvia spoke, the executives grasped the idea that they were going to develop their own chips. However, the challenge lay in their lack of technological expertise in this area.While they were knowledgeable about chip technology, stepping into chip production required a significant investment that the current funds of the Innova Group couldn't cover.Sylvia reassured, "Therefore, I've found a domestic chip company. My plan is to establish a deep collaboration with them, and I've already reached out to them. They are open to the idea. The purpose of this meeting is to brief everyone on our company's next steps."The executives nodded in agreement. It would be easy for the three major international manufacturers to cut off their supply. If the Innova Group continued to grow stronger and the international giants resorted to such tactics, it would cre
After hanging up the phone, Sylvia arrived. Seeing Eric's troubled expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"Eric sighed. "The Hernandezs are causing trouble again. They want to divert attention to me, prompting the person behind the underground arena to come after me.""What jerks!" Sylvia cursed in frustration. "Do they not have better things to do? Why must they keep on targeting you? But how do they know that you're Ghostface?"Eric shook his head. "They probably don't know. When we fought in the ring, Chase had no idea who I was. He couldn't decipher my fighting style. I think Javier did it on purpose. He's trying to get me into trouble by having the owner come after me."Sylvia said, "He's truly despicable! The owner is looking for martial artists who comprehend the essence of energy strikes. When they come for you, just don't showcase your martial arts prowess."It was easy to tackle Javier's plan. As long as Eric did not reveal the fact he knew about energy strikes, there was
The current Innova Group lacked the capability for both aspects. While they had been nurturing talented individuals since their establishment, the time was short, and specialized industry talent training took too long.-After arriving, Sylvia's first step was to schedule a meeting with Sam Hampton. When the call connected, she asked, "Mr. Hampton, I'm Sylvia Williams from the Innova Group. Are you available this afternoon?"A young man unexpectedly answered the call. "I'm sorry, Ms. Williams, but my father is no longer involved in the company's affairs. As for any verbal commitments he made to the Innova Group, I'm not aware of them. Currently, Frontier Digital has no intention of cooperating with the Innova Group."Before Sylvia could respond, the young man hung up, stunning her."What's wrong?" Eric asked.Sylvia pressed her lips and replied, "Something unexpected happened. The person who answered the call was Mr. Hampton's son. He stated that Mr. Hampton is no longer in charg
Sam fell ill, and Eric, who happened to be a holistic physician, was informed by Vince that Sam had a serious illness. Eric's expertise was in handling such matters.After a few bites, Eric asked Vince, "Is Mr. Hampton at home or in the hospital?"Vince replied, "They mentioned that he's in the ICU."Upon hearing that Sam was in the ICU, Eric understood the seriousness of the situation. He said, "Let's head to the hospital after we finish eating."With important matters on their minds, the group quickly finished their meal.-At the hospital. They encountered the Hamptons there. The Hamptons weren't a prominent family in Volpolis, and Frontier Digital wasn't a top conglomerate in the city, but it had some prestige.The Hamptons were surprised to see Eric and his group. Even though they didn't recognize the others, they knew Sylvia.A young man approached them, Noel Hampton, the current head of Frontier Digital. He looked at Sylvia and said indifferently, "Ms. Williams, I've a
Anson glanced at Eric and pursed his lips in silence. Eric's youth made it hard for Anson to believe he could help Sam. However, the fact that the head of the holistic medicine department had faith in Eric made him think otherwise.'Could he really save Mr. Hampton?' he pondered.After briefing Eric about Sam's condition, Tiago said, "Hol. Johnson, let's head to the ICU.""Okay," Eric replied.They all donned white coats and masks before making their way to the ICU. Even behind a mask, Eric's distinctive features stood out, astonishing Noel when he saw Eric and Anson together.Eric nodded at Sylvia and then entered the ward with Anson and Tiago."What's going on?" Noel asked.After Eric nodded at Sylvia, Noel recognized him as the man with the imposing scars.In his moment of confusion, Anson stepped out of the ward and asked, "Where are Mr. Hampton's family members?"The Hamptons quickly gathered around Anson.Anson explained, "Mr. Hampton's condition is very serious. We've
"Hol, Johnson?" Anson appeared puzzled. Just a few minutes earlier, Eric had requested that he inform the Hamptons about a change in their treatment plan.It was hard for Anson to believe that Eric had come up with a new treatment plan in such a short time. Eric had only performed standard procedures like checking Sam's condition and writing a prescription.In modern medicine, a patient needed to be diagnosed before receiving medication. Eric's approach seemed too straightforward.Anson wondered if Eric truly understood all of the patient's conditions with just a quick assessment.With many doubts in his mind, Anson inquired, "Is the plan ready?"He didn't want to question Eric too much. After all, if the head of the holistic medicine department held Eric in high regard, he must have significant influence. Anson, with years of experience in medicine, knew whom to avoid offending, and Eric was one of those individuals.Anson had heard that there were very few experienced physician
"If massage were effective, wouldn't the detoxification medicines on the market become obsolete?"Eric just smiled and remained silent, knowing that even if he spoke, Anson wouldn't understand.After massaging Sam for a while, Tiago approached with a bowl of medicinal concoction. Observing Eric's actions, he became excited. As a holistic physician, he was familiar with advanced detoxification techniques. Combining this knowledge with Eric's request to prepare the detoxification medicine, he had already deduced the situation.Once Eric finished the massage, Tiago approached and stated, "Hol. Johnson, the detoxification medicine is ready."Eric nodded and added, "Find a way to get him to drink it. Afterward, ensure he wears a diaper, and we'll assess the situation tomorrow.""Anything else?" Tiago inquired.Eric shook his head, replying, "That's it for tonight. I'll go back to the hotel to rest.""Hol. Johnson, I'll escort you!"Tiago handed the detoxification medicine to Anson a
Early in the morning, Eric hurried to the hospital after breakfast, still deeply concerned about Sam's life.Sylvia accompanied him—the couple was inseparable wherever they went.An argument unfolded at the ICU entrance upon their arrival at the hospital. As they approached, the Hampton family members conveyed a sense of hopelessness.Sylvia recalled Eric's optimistic words the night before and wondered why the family chose to discontinue treatment when there seemed to be a chance for Sam's recovery."What are you doing? Your father clearly has hope! His condition has improved significantly compared to yesterday. How can you give up now?"Anson struggled to comprehend the choice and pointed out the rare opportunity presented by a skilled holistic physician. He questioned why they decided to halt treatment despite Sam's evident improvement and the family's financial capability.Eric quietly instructed Sylvia upon hearing that, "Go and call the police. Tell them to hurry!""Alrigh
