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,

    Eric had a smile on his face watching Charlotte's expression change with each second. He was sure that the more she thought about it, the more misconceptions she was going to have about it.Well, that was none of his business; after all, it depended on the amount of animosity they had with the county he was talking about.If there was hatred between both countries, then he was sure that this was going to spark a mini-war. But who was he to decide?The higher-ups were going to decide on that. All he did was to give Charlotte a hint, and if she was able to get it, then it was her luck, and that was all.Eric shook his head and stood up from where he was sitting, it was time for him to go. He couldn't continue to sit here.."Eric, I'll be heading out to see the higher-ups, would you come with me?" Charlotte offered, looking at Eric.Knowing well that Eric was going to reject her, she still offered him, so she was not going to feel too shocked if he refused."Na, I'll pass, I don't want t

    "Jackson, you don't have to head to the office again; just go to a park, and then send me the location. I'll be waiting," Eric said; immediately, Jackson picked up the call."Yes sir." Jackson was surprised, and though he wondered why Eric would say such a thing, he didn't ask many questions. He was sure that he had his reason, and it would be impolite to ask him.He was going to know sooner or later. As for now, he was going to keep his curiosity in check and wait till he was told what was going on. And if Eric didn't say anything, he was just going to count it as his luck.Eric soon received a text, and then he showed it to the driver, asking him to head in the direction.Then he called Charlotte. At first, she didn't pick and Eric couldn't help but wonder if she was already in the presence of the elders.The second time, the same, and then the third. Eric looked at the phone and silently decided that if she didn't pick the third time, then he was just going to let her be.After all

    "Why are we at the Park, Mr. Jackson?" Sophia frowned looking at Jackson in a rather strange manner."I don't know why; all I got was the order, and I did as I was told." Jackson shook his head as he looked for a place.It was almost evening, so there were quite a lot of people in the park, so he needed to look for a place with fewer people so they were going to be able to do what they wanted to do smoothly.Sophia, on the other hand, frowned and gripped her gun. She wanted to know who the mysterious person was and how he was able to know there was a tracker on the gun.At that moment, her mind was in turmoil. Right after Jackson told her there was a tracker on the gun, she brought it out and inspected it carefully, and behold, there it was.At first, she wanted to say that it was Jackson who had put the tracker on the gun. But that was the first time he was seeing her and they didn't even share a handshake.He wasn't even sitting close to her. Though her family gave them some space,

    "Now, I'll have to use a taxi," Eric muttered angrily walking out of the automobile store.After running away from Charlotte, he brought the car for repair. But the repair was not something that could be done immediately. Since the car was a modified version, they had to order the part directly from the manufacturer or take the car back to them for repair.So, Eric had no other choice but to leave. Breathing in, he sighed and then flagged down a taxi.The reason he had run away from Evelyn was just because she had mentioned the defense force.If he were to accept something from them again, that would give them all the leverage to ask him to join them.They had already agreed to let him poach Sophia without getting involved; now, if he was to take money from them, he wouldn't be joining their ranks.Then he would lose all of his freedom and time as he was sure that those old men would never keep to their words.Though they might promise that they were not going to send him on a missio

    Just as Eric stepped on the accelerator, determined to catch up to the idiot who had hit and disfigured his car, three police cars fiercely chased the car before suddenly coming to a stop.They had come to a stop when the car hit Eric's car as they were expecting Eric to be a bit unlucky and be involved in an accident, but unexpectedly, the driver of the car was a pro and even angrily gave them a pursuit while they could hear him cursing.Alighting alongside the other officers were Evelyn and Charlotte, both having a smile on their faces."I didn't expect us to run into him," Evelyn chuckled, staring at the car in the distance."I guess they would regret it, but it would have been too late," Charlotte also nodded with a slight chuckle.She knew Eric well, and since he had decided to chase after them, he would definitely catch up to them.Originally, they were scared of losing them, but who would have known that the people would call trouble onto themselves by hitting Eric's car.All m

    "Sorry," Evelyn muttered, her face going red with embarrassment as she hurriedly answered the call.The next moment, her expression changed."I'll be there in no time," Evelyn spat, her voice cold then ended the call."Eric, I need to go," Evelyn stated, packing up the flask and plates."Alright then, drive slowly. We'll meet at night," Eric nodded, a mischievous smile spread across his face.Evelyn blushed and hurried out of the office. She was supposed to be annoyed at the moment, but with Eric around it was not possible."Finally," Eric grunted, patting his stomach.Now it was time to move on to the next thing. Honestly, he wanted to go to sleep, but he didn't have the luxury.As for the matter of refining the bone marrow pill for Michael, that would wait till night.There were still tons of other things he needed to take care of. Also, come to think of it, it had been a while since he visited Chole at her workplace.Also, it had been a while since he went to Wangjin Dock. As for t

    Harold and Luna glanced at each other, and then, after a moment, they nodded and walked out of the office.They had gotten what they wanted anyway. There was no need for them to wait any longer.Though Eric's way of asking them to leave was a little bit rude, they believed they must have offended him in some way, or else he wouldn't have acted that way to them.Picking up the Jade pendant, they walked out of the office. Luna wasn't willing to wear it again, there was no need for her to wear it anymore.She was fine now; also, with Eric's words, she believed something was wrong, though she still didn't believe it was a soul-devouring item.The reason she believed this time was all thanks to Eric's skills. She did not know he was this skilled right from the start, else she would have never doubted him.Eric, on the other hand, nodded slightly and sat up just as they walked out of the office.Though he was a little bit tired, he was not all that tired. His Qi was far purer than anyone's

    "There's a thousand things wrong with it," Eric shook his head, his gaze landing on the jade pendant once again.Luna and Harlod frowned slightly. This thing had been with Luna for quite a while, yet this young man was saying there was a problem with it.They found it rather hard to believe."This is a soul-devouring jade pendant," Eric revealed, breaking the silence.He was too lazy to explain or hide things from them as he believed they were going to recognize it immediately."Soul devouring?" Luna and Harlod gasped at the same time, staring at Eric and then at the jade pendant."Young man, are you sure about this?" Harlod asked after a while, his gaze conflicted."I'm too lazy to say too much. Once you go back, find out if it's a lie or not, but by the way, hand over the Sunflower Herb, I'll treat her first," Eric shook his head, feeling too lazy to talk to them."But..." "The Yang energy I'll be injecting into her body is enough to suppress the riot of the Yin in her body for abo

    "Huh?" Luna and Harlod froze upon hearing Eric's statement.What the heck was this guy talking about? Wanting to offer his Yang energy?Though he was able to hold Luna's wrist for a while. They didn't believe his Yang energy wouldn't be sucked dry once he tried to get intimate with her."Sir...sir, are you sure about this?" Luna stuttered, her face going red as he stared at Eric, not believing he was willing to offer his Yang energy.But thinking about the Sunflower herb. It was Indeed worth it. But then the Sunflower herb couldn't restore either Yin or Yang.It had a very different purpose. So what was he planning on doing?"Are you sure about this?" Harlod also frowned slightly, stepping forward, staring intently at Eric."Why are you both staring at me as though I said I want to offer my life?" Eric's mouth twitched violently, seeing the way they were both staring at him."All I said was that I want to offer her my Yang energy, not my fucking life, or kidney!""We know, sir, but at

    A chilling coldness seeped into his hands making him freeze almost immediately. For a moment, it was as though he had been placed in a cold room. Circulating his Qi, Eric quickly dispelled the cold, while withdrawing his hands almost instantly. "System, what the heck is with this Yin Body?" Eric screamed in his heart. "I've just only lightly touched her, yet there's this much coldness; what would happen when I hug her to be intimate with her," Eric lamented. Wasn't the System just telling him to die? There was no way he would be willing to commit suicide. "When the host starts to treat her, the amount of cold she'll radiate would reduce due to your powerful Yang energy. Though it's only minimal." "Besides, the host is to use the dual cultivation technique," The mechanical voice of the System came at the moment, explaining the situation to Eric. Luna frowned slightly seeing Eric's reaction. Most people's reactions were not this swift. Most of them would turn to ice sculp

    (The Next Day)"This is for you," Eric handed two small transparent bottles filled with a white translucent pill to Chloe."And here's yours," He turned to Evelyn, also giving her another two bottles."And here's yours," He continued, handing over Natalie, Sophia, Aunt Mary, and James' bottles to them."And you," He finally turned to Charlotte, giving her just a bottle."Why just a bottle?" Charlotte frowned slightly, glaring at Eric."You should let me explain at least," Eric sighed, face-palming while he slowly backed away from Charlotte."The bottles I gave you just now contain two types of pills," Eric started to explain, feeling Charlotte's gaze on him."One of the foundation-building pills. It's to help you build a solid foundation in the Qi foundation and Foundation realm.""As for the other pill, it's a bone marrow pill,""Bone marrow pill?" Charlotte gasped, staring at the bottle in her hands."Yep, it's the bone marrow pills," Eric nodded."These two pills would help in your

    "Sir, didn't we just cause some trouble at the auction?" Micheal stared at Eric just as they got back to the company."You worry too much, old man, that's nothing," Eric shook his head, patting Michael's shoulders."They would soon come looking for me, so you need not to worry," Eric continued turning around towards his car."Go get some rest, old man. Also, you can take your leave, but first hand over the company matters to Sophia before you leave," Eric informed Micheal, then got into his car and drove away.Micheal sighed watching Eric drive away. He didn't know what to do next?Going to the auction with Eric today had made him know how brazen Eric was.Well, he knew Eric must be confident in what he was saying, or else he would have never dared to say such.Shaking his head, walked back into the company. Since he would be going on leave soon, there was no harm in working overtime.Also, he needed to hand over the affairs of the company to Sophia. He thought Eric was going to take
