Immediately, Eric stripped on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop."Is there anything wrong?" He turned around asking Sophia, his voice trembling.Sophia squinted her brows staring at Eric. She had already seen what was happening and was sure that with the way Eric was driving, he would be able to keep the distance between them till they arrived at a safe place.He was just too good and his driving skills were rather unparalleled. Where she worked was an automobile company.Furthermore, with her interest in cars, she could be considered to be a bit of a racer. But when compared to Eric, she would be trash.If she was the one chasing after him in this situation, she was sure that she wouldn't be able to catch up with him.Could it be that Eric was one of them who was just trying to pretend and get close to her so he would be able to kill her in one swoop?But if that was the case, he should have already taken action. Besides, he was scared, though he was scared, he was still able to
"Huh?" Sophia froze hearing what the men said. She couldn't believe her ears and then looked at Eric whose face was pale."Are you sure you want me to kill him?" She sneered, looking at the men once again, firmly believing it was all an act to let down her guard."Do you think we care about him?" One of the men sneered."If it was not for him, do you think we would have not gotten you at the airport, or do you think your driving skills are awesome?""We don't know how he managed to keep his distance and kept confusing us, but we don't care about that, we need to kill him.""So you'll be doing us a favor if you end him, and then we'll be able to end you also." The man lashed out.Hatred flashed in his eyes, and it was as if he should lunge at Eric and kill him on the spot.But the gun Sophia was holding had a kind of feeling, and he was scared to move forward, knowing well that the gun was not an ordinary gun.Sophia was not from an ordinary place, so he was sure that the gun with her
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the men run away. She knew at the moment that she was safe.Though she wasn't sure, she knew some information and could guess that they were from the defense department.Charlotte, on the other hand, had an unpleasant smile on her face as she walked towards Sophia.Though she didn't know what happened, she couldn't help but curse at Eric in her heart.He didn't take action and yet he was going to reap all the rewards. What a sly fox.If she had known, then she wouldn't have involved him and then all the credits would have gone to the defense department alone...Then Sophia would be willing to work for the government, and that was going to be a big boost to them since, in no time, they were going to experience a change in their technology.But it was Eric who was taking all the gains, as a result, she couldn't help but feel a little bit angry at Eric.He was just too cunning and there was nothing she was able to do about it. She wouldn't have ta
"Why did you play such a shameless trick?" Charlotte glared at Eric immediately as she got into the car.She looked like she wanted to beat up the latter, but there was no way she was going to be able to do that."What is shameless?" Eric asked, looking rather confused."Stop with your tricks and tell me why you did what you did?" Charlotte couldn't be bothered with Eric's tricks and said angrily."Well, things didn't go according to how you planned it, so I had to tweak the plan a bit?" Eric shrugged."Is that what you call tweaking a bit?" Charlotte fumed."Yeah, it was just a little bit of tweaking. Besides, I wasn't expecting the plan to take such a major turn." Eric nodded, looking serious.Then he proceeded to tell Charlotte his initial plans and how he was forced to change them when he saw what had happened."So Sophia knew that she was being followed?" Charlotte muttered, looking rather confused."Well, you could say that," Eric agreed."But she didn't know they were following
"Here's it," Charlotte said, passing a small book to Eric.The book looked old, but the insides looked like they were new.Browsing through the contents, Eric shook his head and then walked toward the sofa and collapsed on it with a sigh."What's wrong?" Charlotte asked anxiously.Though she didn't fully trust Eric, he was far stronger than her and she couldn't even see which realm he was.If it was just a realm higher, then she would have been able to see it, but she was not able to see it, this showed that he was far more powerful than her.Besides, he didn't read through the manual at all and just brisked through and then shook his head. What a godly speed that was.She was sure that Eric must have been disappointed which was why he shook his head.Eric, on the other hand, was shocked in his heart. Immediately he held the book, he heard the system's voice telling him all the names of the cultivation technique and then the flaws inside the book.Then the System asked if he wanted to
Charlotte's expression changed upon hearing what the figure said."Did she say what she came to do?" She asked."No, she just said she wanted to see the commander." The man replied."Alright, let her in and bring her to my office, " Charlotte replied after a while."Yes ma'am." The man nodded and turned around leaving almost immediately."What are you going to do, you know that she mustn't find you here." Charlotte frowned, turning to look at Eric."You don't have to worry about that." Eric shook his head, not showing any signs of standing."Where's Jake? I've not seen him," Eric asked, looking around the office."He went on another mission, so he's not around," Charlotte replied, walking towards her table and tying it up.The reason she had not rejected Sophia was because she knew of the defense department's existence.One who didn't know of the defense department wouldn't come. Besides, there were various security checks, and it was not just anyone who would be able to pass through
"Would you mind listening to what I have to say?" Sophia sighed, looking rather helpless."Fine, but I'll be giving you just a minute to say all you have to say." Charlotte agreed, her voice Cold.Sophia sighed in relief seeing that Charlotte agreed to listen to her. This meant that she was not dumb and could already guess what had happened."Well, the reason I was pursued is this." Sophia sighed as she recounted what had happened and how the company she had worked for helped her."So you're Sophia Tonks," Charlotte asked, her face lit up in surprise."Yes." Sophia nodded, feeling rather relieved.This time, she knew that her family's reputation was not going to save her, but rather her own.She was a genius, and thus, she was sure that as long as the defense department were not fools and wouldn't want to lose someone like her, then it was all good.Otherwise, she would be condemned to her fate and there was nothing she would be able to do about it other than lament."So what do you w
"What are you trying to do?" Chloe frowned, looking at Eric suspiciously."What do you think I want to do?" Eric chuckled.There was no way Charlotte would be able to compete with him, so he was not scared that she was going to use any underhand means.Even if she tried to use it, she was not going to win, so it was better for her not to even try it in the first place."Yes sir, what do you want me to do?" Jackson's Voice came from the other end of the phone."I'm sure you know Sophia Tonks, right?" Eric began."Yes sir, I know her, the m genius of the Tonks family," Jackson replied and a hint of excitement could be heard in his voice."Well, she returned to the country today, and I would like you to go meet with her.." Eric nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the way Jackson's Voice sounded."Yes sir." Jackson nodded hearing what Eric said."You'll just have to follow my instructions," Eric continued."Tell her that the owner of NovaPharm Industries wants to recruit her.""But sir,
