Delilah and Richard spent several hours cleaning, wearing out several pieces of burlap in the process.Fortunately, the wall wasn't damaged by their actions. Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.Before leaving, Andy took a box of premium cigarettes and two bottles of wine from the car, offering them to Hank as a gesture of appreciation. He asked Hank to take care of the chickens, ducks, pigs, and so on at home.After everything was arranged, they set off and returned to Salt City.Sylvia initially thought about bringing Blake and Melinda back to the Rosewood Estate, but considering their recent mood and her own busy schedule, she found it more suitable for them to stay with Elly. With Elly's company during the day and the boys in the evening, it was livelier than Rosewood Estate.-Hank rode his motorcycle early in the morning, going from house to house.Firstly, he knew that Eric wouldn't betray the country. After investing so much money in Nutikiville, it would
Getting the results required additional leverage. What infuriated Lionel was Dante's failure to fulfill his promise of allowing Ruth to return to the country.Due to the issue's sensitivity, Lionel refrained from investigating Ruth's whereabouts, and Ruth made no contact with the McClains. He only learned from Sylvia that Ruth and Eric were safe in Phoenix City.-Seeing several days pass without any action after reaching an agreement with Dante, Lionel went straight to the Combat Department to find him.Dante had been extremely anxious after the two videos surfaced during this period.Despite having influence in the Combat Department, without assuming the position of General, he lacked true control. What worried him even more was the delay in issuing the appointment letter for the General of the Combat Department.Most Combat Department members were Pierce's former subordinates, and newcomers often collaborated with Ruth on missions.Dante's prestige in the Combat Department wa
"Hol. Johnson. Rest assured, you're absolutely safe here in Phoenix City," Brent said respectfully.The Rogers wielded significant influence in Phoenix City, unparalleled by any other family. Brent knew Eric was wanted and the reason for coming to Phoenix City. However, he was grateful that Eric had saved the Rogers, enabling Brent to assume the position of the current head. It was risky and challenging, but Brent managed to overcome it.The Combat Department had issued an international arrest order on Eric. Although Brent didn't know why, it was a good thing for the Rogers since Eric would be staying in Phoenix City in the meantime. They could use someone like Eric, after all.During their conversation, Brent discussed the treacherous events that unfolded after Eric and Sylvia left. Some aimed to overthrow the Rogers through force. Fortunately, Buck allowed Brent to take control, and he managed to navigate through it.Brent was appreciative. Before leaving, he informed Eric that
"I will find a way to monopolize the project of the three major data centers!" Sylvia declared.The Innova executives' expressions underwent a significant change.Historically, the construction of data centers had been predominantly spearheaded by the Visionary Group, utilizing equipment from the three major international manufacturers.The Visionary Group had a strong foundation in this field. Despite the Innova Group gradually gaining ground, the question loomed: would they allow the Innova Group to succeed in a project involving hundreds of millions?Sylvia had long been aware of the project involving the three major data centers, leading her to issue a veiled threat to Dante through a video message.Her confidence rested in Dante. The plan was straightforward: the Visionary Group acted as the intermediary for the three giants in the country. By eliminating the Visionary Group, control of the project would shift to the Innova Group.Sylvia didn't delve into details but urged e
Sylvia and Grace shared many thoughts in the business field, so Grace naturally supported Sylvia in her endeavors.While the Innova Group's technology team worked on the project, Sylvia approached Dante. Despite the Innova Group, Visionary Group, and even the three major international manufacturers lacking experience, Sylvia believed they could match the capabilities of the others.Dante looked at Sylvia and said, "I greatly admire your courage. There aren't many women who earn my admiration, and you are one of them!"While it seemed like a compliment, there was a hint of resentment in his words. However, he dared not act against Sylvia. Any harm to her would result in the release of incriminating videos on the Internet.Little did Dante know that Sylvia had solid evidence against him. Although she didn't have the video where Dante framed Eric, she would have conducted a voice analysis if she did. The person in the video might resemble Eric, but voice, fingerprints, and DNA could
"Alright!" Dante gritted his teeth. "I promise you, I will do my best to ensure that the Innova Group gets everything!""Not just try. It must be done!" Sylvia said indifferently, then fell silent.She didn't want to pressure Dante too much and drive him off the wall. Despite Dante's abilities, handling this matter should not be difficult.Sylvia got up and left, knowing that Dante would fulfill her request. She also anticipated that Dante must be thinking of ways to deal with her.Dante was frustrated. Sylvia was negotiating terms with him, and he could not deal with her. Despite the frustration, he started thinking about how to ensure that the Innova Group obtained the construction rights for the three major data centers.The money would be spent anyway, so why let foreign companies take it away?The Visionary Group was easy to handle. After all, it was a domestic company. However, dealing with the three major international manufacturers posed some difficulties, so Dante had to
Hector engaged in a pleasant conversation with the representatives of the three major international manufacturers. He acknowledged he and the Visionary Group served as their spokespersons. The three giants generously rewarded them in return, ensuring a steady income.After bidding farewell to the representatives, Hector felt confident that completing a project worth hundreds of millions would yield substantial profits.Despite the Innova Group's emergence, the Visionary Group was well-positioned to earn significant profits, as the Innova Group was relatively new and had not fully optimized its costs, resulting in high equipment prices.The profit margin for this project was enormous. While a significant portion of the profits would go to the three giants, the Visionary Group would still retain a substantial amount.While Hector was daydreaming about a promising future, Dante arrived. Dante needed to address matters with the Visionary Group first."Lieutenant General Vernon, what
Dante departed, hoping Hector would grasp his visit was to inform rather than engage in a discussion.Hector's expression darkened. He had been convinced that the construction of the three major data centers was nearly certain. Unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events introduced a new player, openly declaring that the Innova Group would undertake the project. What had happened?He recalled that Eric—the CIO and co-founder of the Innova Group—was wanted. So, why was Dante supporting the Innova Group? In his view, Dante was already lenient by not suppressing the Innova Group.Hector snorted. "On what grounds are you trying to make us withdraw?"Moreover, could the Combat Department even intervene in this matter?Hector felt Dante was overstepping, so he didn't take Dante's words seriously. Just because Dante said it didn't mean the Visionary Group would comply.-Meanwhile, as soon as Dante left the Visionary Group, he immediately contacted Sylvia. He informed her that he had notifie
