Arthur glanced at Eric, narrowing his eyes as he spoke. "The successor of Hol. Thornfield. I didn't expect you to be here too! Oh, I forgot, you seem to be Madam Montgomery's son! So, are you joining the alliance as well?"He didn't care if Eric was Grace's son. He was only slightly wary of Eric's identity as Orion's successor. Offending Eric might mean offending the entire holistic medicine community. Even Arthur had to consider such consequences.Holistic medicine was on the decline, overshadowed by modern medicine.However, in recent years, prominent families had more trust in holistic medicine. Although holistic medicine was relatively time-consuming for recovery, it focused on addressing the root cause.Overall, only the affluent could afford holistic medicine. After all, the higher the skills of the physician, the higher the cost. It could be said that holistic physicians and the rich and powerful had a deep connection now.For that reason, Arthur was apprehensive about Eric
The Feynmans and the underground arena were evidently connected, and Eric managed to unveil Aaron's true identity with a single punch."You are… Ghostface?!" Aaron exclaimed.Few individuals had left a lasting impression on him, and Eric and Pierce were among the most recent ones.Eric concealed his face behind a mask in the underground arena, but Aaron vividly remembered his distinct figure. He couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between Eric and Ghostface.With the revelation of Aaron's identity, certain truths gradually came to light, piquing Eric and Pierce's curiosity about the mysterious owner. However, Arthur remained oblivious to the unfolding situation."Aaron, take them all down first!"Arthur was concerned. If Eric could withstand Aaron's punch, the Feynmans might not have the upper hand if Eric rallied various families against them.The Feynmans were eager to act, confident in their ability to confront everyone, even with Eric present.Aaron was acutely
Eric and Donovan refrained from making any moves, anticipating the possible appearance of the mysterious owner.Aaron acted as this enigmatic figure's gatekeeper, leaving everyone wondering about the person's true strength.Pierce proved skilled enough to pose a threat to Aaron. Despite Aaron's unique fighting style, imperfections still existed.Meanwhile, the full force of the Combat Department had already arrived, encircling the other Feynman experts."Pierce! Your deceitful setup won't go unnoticed!" Aaron exclaimed, realizing that the alliance was nothing more than a trap.Even if Aaron kept his identity concealed, the Feynmans would inevitably face significant trouble. The prospect of the Combat Department exploiting his secret identity further complicated matters.Pierce chuckled and retorted, "The Feynmans are likely entangled in the Larson and King City Bank incidents, as well as the underground arena. Bringing down the Feynmans seems only fair!"Launching a relentless a
Certainly, considering that prominent families should avoid heavy personal interests, the banquet continued even after the operation concluded.Grace had harbored such thoughts for a while. The family heads convened to discuss the alliance's rules.Simultaneously, the Combat Department departed.The Feynmans' troubles had started when they sent someone to Westlake, attracting the Combat Department's attention.Capitalizing on the King City Bank incident, they initiated the final battle against the Feynmans, but the mysterious owner did not appear.By nightfall, the Combat Department members stationed at the Feynmans returned. They had captured important figures like Hector, dealing another blow to the Visionary Group."Big Boss, Lieutenant General Johnson, Lieutenant General McClain. Oscar Feynman escaped this afternoon!" reported a subordinate."That's cunning! The Feynmans had the confidence to show up at the McClains. Even so, they were still cautious about arranging his esca
"Mom, can't we skip this?" Sylvia welled up with tears at the sight of the table laden with highly nutritious food. She had long held the belief that her inability to conceive wasn't tied to her physical health—it was surely a psychological matter.Lucas' past actions had inflicted significant psychological trauma on Sylvia. The unexpected loss of their child had left her heartbroken. Deep down, this hurdle seemed insurmountable."What do you mean, skip this?" Amelia remarked, lacking sympathy. "If you don't eat nutritious food, your health won't improve."How can you conceive a baby? You've been married for so long, and you've visited Eric's hometown several times. Our family might not think much of it, but who knows what those people in Nutikiville might be gossiping about behind our backs? They could be saying things about you and his family."Amelia grasped the ways of the world and human nature. People couldn't stand seeing others live a better life.Blake's house was the m
Eric also had a mission. It was a matter he hadn't shared with Tiger and Roland.-Roland appeared somewhat disheveled as he had rushed to Salt City.After settling into their seats, Eric addressed them, "Roland, Tiger, the primary concern revolves around the underground arena in King City. I assume you both are familiar with recent developments there. Currently, Matteo and Leopard have assumed control of the underground arena."Roland and Tiger couldn't help but inhale sharply. They were aware of a mysterious and powerful figure influencing King City's underground arena. Now, with a change in leadership, it suggested that this influential person might have vanished.Eric explained, "The Combat Department acknowledges the existence of underground arenas in all major cities. However, managing them proves challenging due to the substantial number of martial arts enthusiasts and the extensive interests involved. The funds from these underground arenas must undergo laundering before l
While the underworld scene of Salt City and Dortmund City was developing positively, the Innova Group was no exception.Sylvia and Eric hadn't visited the Innova Group for some time, but the company was operating smoothly. Besides the ongoing investment in R&D, the projects of the three data centers were progressing well.Especially after the fall of the Feynmans and the Visionary Group's bankruptcy, the Innova Group had no competitors in the domestic market.The market share of the three major international manufacturers domestically had also dropped significantly after the Visionary Group's bankruptcy. Without distributors, they couldn't even enter the market.The industry believed that the Innova Group would seize the opportunity, and the three giants would be unable to operate.Unexpectedly, the Innova Group significantly reduced prices during that period.After winning the projects for the three data centers, the Innova Group had already conducted a round of price reductions
Holding a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event.Despite their substantial wealth, the couple remained frugal, residing in a modest single-story home valued at just a few hundred thousand dollars.For Sylvia and Eric, a 200-square-meter house was more than sufficient. Any additional space would only feel wasteful. Their focus wasn't on the wedding. Instead, they were particularly keen on starting a family.With the Innova Group dominating the domestic market, Eric adopted a relatively easygoing approach, free from excessive ambitions.However, once things settled down, he felt a desire for a child."What could be the issue..." Sylvia pondered. "Why can't I conceive?"As Brook's child was about to be born, Sylvia grew anxious.She glanced at Eric. "Could it be that you are too anxious, and the pulse reading is inaccurate? How about we consult Hol. Clarke?"There was another renowned holistic physician in Salt City.Eric was aware of Sylvia's psychological concerns and didn't h
