The women looked at Eric in amusement as he walked into the house. Wasn’t he supposed to stay with them in case something went wrong? Yet he had decided to leave them all to themselves. What the heck was he even thinking?“You all worry too much; you are not casting a spell, so be rest assured, as long as you do what I told you to do, then nothing will happen, so stop being a scaredy cat.” Eric’s voice sounded just as they were wondering what was happening.Hearing his voice they all breathed in a sigh of relief and believed that he was not going to go far and was still watching them at a distance. The only one who knew that Eric had gone to sleep was Emily, she knew that there was no way he was going to wait.After all, she knew her brother rather too well, so she was sure that he must have gone to sleep. But his confidence meant that nothing was going to go well so she was the most relaxed amongst them all as she knew that nothing was going to go well.Concentrating, she tried to fe
Before she could do anything, the flow of the warm stream of energy began to increase, and it caused her to calm down. But before she could think too much, she remembered Eric's warning."Beware, the energy for first-timers is like soaking into a warm bath when you're tired; you'll want to get relaxed and all comfortable.""You shouldn't do that, but rather guide the energy through the required acupoints."Remembering this, Emily immediately stopped feeling comfortable, and her eyes shot open as she looked at the mantra on the board and then at the picture of the human by the side where Eric had identified all of the human acupoints.Instantly, she started to direct the warm stream of energy through it, and for a moment, it was like trying to fit wool into a needle, which, though not impossible, was hard.Before she knew it, sweat gathered on her forehead as it became harder.But soon, she was able to do it and then the stream of energy became smooth.But before she was able to think
The next thing that hit them was the strong stench that was coming out of their bodies. It was so strong that they also had to use their hands to cover their nose.Turning around, they saw Eric looking at them with his brows furrowed, and a hand on his nose.Instantly, the women's faces went red, and they all hurriedly stood up and wanted to run into the Villa."There's no need for you to run." Eric suddenly said before they could move.Hearing his voice, they had no other choice but to stay and they turned to look at him, wondering what he was about to say.Though their face was red as Eric still had his hands on his nose refusing to remove it.Eric narrowed his brows and stared at the women. He had been awake for quite a while. After all, he was not able to sleep well because of their shouts.Also, just in case one of them followed the wrong step and everything went backward, he was still feeling sleepy even though there were no dark circles under his eyes.At first, he thought that
It was Charlotte who happened to be calling him. He wondered why she was calling him.But still, he didn't hesitate and directly picked up the call after the first few rings."Are you finally into me and can't resist the thought of me that's why you called?" Eric said a smile surfaced on his face."What the heck do you think you're saying?" Charlotte's angry roar came from the other end of the phone."If you're not into me, then why are you calling me?" Eric chuckled, not caring about Charlotte's anger"Spit one more nonsense from that damned mouth of yours and I would end this call." Charlotte threatened.She knew that she couldn't win against Eric's glib tongue and thus pulled this move.She was sure that it was going to be effective. And just as she had expected, Eric shut up and didn't dare to say a word right after her threat."Are you willing to listen to me now?" Charlotte asked after a while."Yeah, sure." Eric smiled."So why did you call me?" Eric asked."Well, I did call to
(Nighttime)Eric narrowed his eyes, staring at all the women and Jake. All of them had their skins whiter than they were supposed to be. The wrinkles on Aunt Mary's skin have already disappeared.And though she didn't look any younger, her skin was much smoother. Jake, too, was the same, and these were the ones who had the broadest smile as they all stared at Eric.Chloe, Emily, Evelyn, Sophia, and Natalie also had a smile on their faces, but there was more confusion on their faces rather than smiles."Brother, why are you staring at us? What do you have to tell us?" Emily, who couldn't take the silence again, broke it, staring at Eric.The others also nodded while they waited for Eric to say something. None of them were willing to break the silence in the first place, but since Emily had broken it, then Eric was going to say what he wanted to say."What I want to tell you all is that you should all stop cultivating?""Huh?" A simultaneous gasp resounded throughout the place as everyo
Everyone looked at themselves hearing Eric's tone. Though they didn't know why he was angry all of a sudden.They were able to link it to the fact that it was because they had refused to listen to him.But then if that was the case, there was no need for him to get this annoyed. Emily, Sophia, and Chloe were the most confused. They knew Eric too well and knew that he rarely got annoyed.It was either because they had done something else that was going to affect them, or there was more to why he had asked them to stop cultivating.If that was the case, then they were all wrong not to have listened to him. After all, he could have just left them helpless without teaching them anything and just continued to look after them. But he had not done this; rather, he had given them the chance so they were going to be able to get stronger and fend off for themselves. But then, they didn't take his words seriously. After all, he was the one who had taught them what they knew.If he hadn't taug
(The Next Day)"Welcome sir." Micheal greeted Eric and Sophia stepped into the office."Sorry, I didn't contact you for a while." Eric apologized, looking at Micheal."It's fine, sir; I knew that you were busy." Micheal smiled as he looked over to Sophia who was standing beside Eric."She's Sophia Woods." Eric introduced, seeing that Micheal was staring at Sophia and was not going to take his eyes off her."Sophia Woods?" Micheal gasped in shock, looking at Sophia, not believing his eyes.No one in the technological world of the country didn't know Sophia. She was a rare technological genius.And yet Eric was able to work in his company. This was a feat he had never thought that Eric was going to be able to achieve.Though he knew that Eric was good, he still wasn't expecting the latter to be able to convince Sophia that she was going to come work for him."There's no need for me to say anything since you know who she is. You can show her around." Eric waved his hands feeling rather i
"Who wrote all of these?" Sophia asked in a deep voice, turning to look at Micheal, who was looking at the work with a hint of admiration in his eyes."This was most probably written by the president." Micheal smiled widely.He was just too happy with what he was seeing. With this new software, he was sure that their system would be able to undergo a change and their position would be firmerHe was originally scared that something might happen to them again. But seeing the new software Eric had written, he was not worried anymore; rather, he was all calm.There was no way he wouldn't be happy. After all, this had plagued him and he had been thinking of a way to tell Eric, but now that Eric had resolved it even before he thought about it meant that he was not the only one who was thinking about it.Sophia, on the other hand, didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe that Eric was the one who had written it. She was going to be a fool if she believed. After all, this was too complex
(At Veldora)"What's wrong Sophia?" Evelyn questioned, turning to look at Sophia who still had a shocked expression on her face.Though they didn't know what was between her and Eric, the way she had reacted when Eric said he had gone to country Vee."Well...." Sophia stuttered, looking at the others, not knowing where to start."You can trust us and tell us what happened. That way, we can know how to convince Eric if that place is truly dangerous." I Consoled Chloe and she turned to look at the others, and they all nodded in agreement.Sophia looked at Evelyn and Chloe, not knowing what to say. It was clear that these two were currently Eric's women, but her status and the others were unclear yet.And she would be blind if she said she didn't notice that they all had feelings for Eric.The only one whose feelings could be counted out was Emily, and this was because she was Eric's sister.So she was a little bit shocked seeing how nice Chole and Evelyn were. She had thought that a fig
On his phone were as many notifications as he could see. There were even many missed calls.Eric had put his phone on silent, so he didn't notice that he had a call or anything.Gulping, he unlocked the phone, and sure enough, there was a text from Emily, Chole, and Evelyn.In short, all the girls messaged him, except for Aunt Mary and Jake, whom he was sure that this was because they didn't have his number.Eric wondered whom he was going to call that was going to give him less trouble.There was no way he could call Evelyn and Chloe. If he did, he would have to listen to their ranting nonstop, so, there was no way he could call them.He couldn't call Natalie; she was going to give Chloe the phone immediately, and as for Sophia, she was sure to give the phone to Chloe, too.Charlotte was no different and she was sure to give Evelyn the phone. There was no way he could afford it.It was only Emily who would rant on her own, that way, he was pretty sure he could bribe her to cover her
"You're awake Miss." The middle-aged man rushed towards the lady, who was the first to wake up and had just coughed."Robin," Avery called softly, her eyes darting around, calling to the middle-aged man.She didn't seem to mind the fact that she was dressed scantily. After all, when Eric was about to treat her, he had removed all of her clothes, leaving her in underwear.After he was done treating her, he covered her with the quilt. To his surprise, he had thought that Robin was going to talk, but the latter didn't say a thing and just kept a keen watch over him which he could understand somehow."Miss, how are you feeling?" Robin broke the silence and asked, staring at Avery."I feel better," Avery muttered."For some reason, all of my injuries have healed, except for the slight pain; I can feel my body rapidly recovering." She continued, staring at her body in awe."It's all thanks to him." Robin swallowed, not believing his ears as he pointed at Eric."Him?" Avery's expression chan
"Where to now?" Eric stopped after running for a while and asked.He had already outrun the soldiers; they were not able to match his speed, and even before they could call for reinforcement, he had already escaped, so there was no need to worry."If you turn left and go about five kilometers, you'll find the middle-aged man in the taxi earlier; he'll tell you where to take us." The figure on Eric's shoulder spoke with difficulty before finally passing out."I see," Eric muttered and looked at the girl he was still holding.She had already fainted a long while, and there were bullet holes all over her body.The boy, too, was no different, and Eric couldn't help but praise him a bit, seeing that he had held out for this long.Well, he couldn't just abandon them yet; he had already made up his mind to save them and then give them some instructions, that was if they were going to listen to him.And if they were not going to listen to him, that was also none of his business, he was not go
"Who do you think I am?" Eric chuckled, staring at the man with a smirk."You know you shouldn't bully the weak right?" Eric continued, the smile on his face getting wider with each second.The two on the floor looked at each other not knowing what to do. Though they didn't know who Eric was, neither did they know what he wanted, they couldn't feel any hostility from him."Young man, what do you want?" The man sitting on the sofa frowned, breaking the silence.If Eric was able to come into the Villa without alerting the soldiers outside, then he would have to be very strong and thus, he didn't want to underestimate him.It was going to be fatal if he did since he didn't know Eric's origin."I came to look for a brat here, but I don't think he's home right now." Eric shrugged and looked around.He couldn't see any hint of resemblance and thus ruled out the fact that he was the other party's father.Also, the other party was not a fool; they would never actively get themselves involved
In less than five minutes, Eric got to the Villa where he was going. At the moment, he was standing on the rooftop of another Villa observing the Villa.After a while, he leaped off the roof and landed softly. If he was to stay too long, he would be discovered and that was not what he wanted.All that he wanted was just to do what he came to do without any problems.Eric sighed and looked at the Villa with a sigh. Though he didn't see anyone outside the Villa, he could tell that there was security all around.At the same time, he was feeling lazy and was not willing to confirm his theory.So he just stood at a corner observing the Villa. He still had a lot of time, so there was no need to rush.He didn't know what the patrol would end, but that didn't mean he cared. If things proved to be rocky, he was just going to head to a hotel and sneak in.Or he could go to any other place to spend the night. From the rules, everywhere was to be shut down once it was seven.Activities could stil
"We've arrived at the estate." The driver said, breaking the silence in the car after a long while."Good." Eric stretched and opened the car door, alighting from the car."Sir, here's your money." Eric gave the man one of the notes that had been exchanged at the airport."Young man, I don't think I have changed. Your money is only a hundred Draco, and yet you're giving me a five hundred Draco." He smiled bitterly."You should just accept it, I don't have another." Eric smiled bitterly and pushed the money into the man's hands then walked off even before he could say anything.Soon, the sound of the taxi leaving the Vicinity could be heard and Eric couldn't help but sigh in relief.Looking at his watch, he realized that there were just ten minutes left till seven.Though he was in an estate, he was not sure what could happen and thus could only thread carefully.He couldn't be too rash in his decision, also, he didn't know what the security of the place he was going to look like.Aft
"Shit!" Eric cursed angrily under his breath raising his hands to check the time on his watch only to see that it was almost seven.He had been trying to stop a taxi for the past thirty minutes, but it was all futile.All the taxis he flagged would stop at first, but then after hearing where he was going, they would decline.Though he felt that it was because the place was too far, he could tell that there was another reason.What was he going to do? With the weird rule of the country, he was going to have to step back into the hotel.He didn't want to spend the night and just wanted to get to what he wanted. Finish it up and then leave the country.Though he was not scared of breaking the rules of the country as he was confident in his strength, at the same time, he was not willing to be caught in the mess.After all, it was none of his problems. He wouldn't have known that such was happening if it was not for the idiot who called Sophia.Eric sighed and looked around. The street was
"Good morning sir." Michael's old voice came from the other end of the phone just as the call was connected."Good morning," Eric replied he was not used to formalities and thus just went straight to the point."What about the ticket, has it been bought?" Eric inquired."Yeah, I have bought it. Also, I happen to have a friend at the airport. I'll give him a call right now, and he will direct you on the rest." Micheal answered."Thanks for the trouble." Eric smiled and ended the call.Stepping hard on the accelerator, the car dashed forward heading toward the airport. He planned to go and come back that very day, though he was sure that was not possible, he was still going to go home.If they were to text him, he was going to lie to them. There was no need for them to worry.All he hoped was that what he was going to do was going to be successful, or else it was going to be quite a hassle if it wasn't.Soon, Eric arrived at the airport. Looking for a spot to park his car, Eric walked
