"What do you want me to say?" Eric asked while staring at Evelyn with a smile on his face."What are you supposed to tell me?" Evelyn rolled her eyes at Eric, knowing well that he didn't want to tell her what she wanted to know.But she was not going to give up that easily, she would make sure to force it out of him."How about you give me a kiss, then I'll tell you?" Eric grinned, staring at Evelyn with a wide smile on his face."You..." Evelyn's face suddenly went red hearing what Eric said."Haven't you have no shame?" She growled, glaring at him."I'm in the office, not at home, so how do you expect me to kiss you? What if someone walks in?" Evelyn questioned."Seems like you don't want to know." Eric shrugged."You can ask Charlotte about the defense department when she comes, I guess she would be more willing to tell you than I am." He continued.Evelyn's expression changed upon hearing what Eric said. She had thought that Eric was going to be willing to tell her all that he kne
"Ouch!"Evelyn yelped in pain as she jolted out of her thoughts and quickly smacked Eric's hands."Why did you do that?" She grunted, glaring at Eric while rolling her eyes at him."Well, I felt it was a good thing to pull your nose as it looked pointed." Eric chuckled."Nonsense." Evelyn snorted, rolling her eyes at Eric.But then deep inside, she was deeply relieved. All she needed in the first place was just a bit of reassurance.Now that he had reassured her, she was feeling all okay, so She knew that she still had a place in Eric's heart.He was not going to abandon her. She was not going to lie; that was her greatest fear; she couldn't let anything happen."Ring! Ring!"Eric's phone suddenly rang pulling Evelyn out of her thoughts. Eric, on the other hand, pulled out his phone and looked at who was calling him, only to see it was Charlotte."Hello, beaut......" Eric said, but stopped amidst his words and glanced at Evelyn only to see that she was glaring at him."Cough! Cough!"
"What if I refuse to take you there?" Eric rolled his eyes at Charlotte walking with her towards the car."You don't dare." Charlotte glared at Eric, knowing well that he was capable of doing what he had just said.There was no way she was going to allow that to happen. After all, she was sure that the letter had reached the chief of the police and she was sure that whoever he or she was, they were going to be expecting her.She couldn't allow Eric to delay her and give her a bad name, she didn't want any disrespect. The higher-ups had pleaded with her that she should endure whatever was going to happen.Let's go; I'll tell you where the police station is." Charlotte got into the car and looked at Eric who had also gotten in.She was not shocked that he was driving a sports car; what was just making her shocked was that he dared to drive it around.Wasn't he scared that the government was going to put eyes on him and it was going to somehow affect him?But considering the way Eric was
"Why did you do that?" Charlotte glared at Eric trying to calm her palpitating heart.If it was not for her reflex, she would have been injured seriously because she was not using a seatbelt.At the moment, she felt like hitting Eric; the latter had no look of remorse on his face, and he even looked smug about it, which made her angrier."You should have worn your seatbelt," Eric finally turned to Charlotte and said."You...." Charlotte pointed at Eric, not knowing what to say."I'm sorry, I didn't know you weren't wearing your seatbelt." Eric apologized after a while."Humph!" Charlotte scoffed and turned away."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Eric sighed, traces of sadness could be felt in his voice.Charlotte smiled upon hearing this and knew that he was feeling guilty for what he had done.She was willing to forgive him now, at least, he knew what he did was wrong."Aren't you a Golden Core cultivator? Why did you get so scared when you were powerful? If your forehead had smas
"Humph!" Charlotte snorted coldly and turned away from Eric before getting out of the car.She knew that there was no need to talk to him again at this point, or else he was just going to continue to tease her. Though she was not angry at his actions, she was a little embarrassed.If this was to continue, he was not going to hesitate to tease her again, or else the only choice she had was to hurriedly alight from the car.Eric, on the other hand, had a smile on his face as he alighted from the car. Looking at the huge building in front, he couldn't help but shake his head.Just as he had expected, Lisa was a celebrity, and though he didn't know about her, where she would live was not a place where Ordinary people lived."Here you are, Eric." A pleasant voice came as a petite figure rushed out of the house.It was as though the figure had been waiting for Eric's arrival and had been keen on listening to the surroundings, so she was able to tell when Eric had arrived."Ma'am, you can't
"I never knew you were this rich!" Charlotte turned to look at Eric as he drove into the estate.Eric glanced at Charlotte and didn't say anything. He knew well that she was just being sarcastic, so there was no need to reply to her. If he did, he would just be looking for trouble.Also, he had been thinking of a way to convince Emily not to say too much because he knew she was the only one who was going to get inquisitive.The others were likely not to ask questions, but Emily was unbridled and was going to ask some questions.Driving into the garage, Eric parked the car and alighted alongside Charlotte. They had been stuck in traffic, or else they would have gotten home quite a long time."Why do you look so nervous, you look like you are trying to hide something?" Charlotte squinted her brows as she looked at Eric who was deep in thought as they walked into the house."It's nothing much, you don't have to worry." Eric shook his head, still wondering what he was going to say to Emil
"Did you just say you were the target of an assassination?" Evelyn broke the silence as she asked, staring at Eric."Yeah, someone wanted my head back then. So I was almost assassinated when I went to Brooklyn." Eric replied, seemingly not noticing their expressions."Are you alright? Hope you were not injured?" Chole asked this time as she looked at Eric."You guys don't need to worry; it's been quite a while, even the incident, so there's no need to panic." Eric waved his hands and sat on the empty chair while pulling Charlotte to sit on the other chair.At the moment, there was no space on the dining table, and if anyone were to walk into the house, then they would have to wait till they finished eating."Aunt Mary, what do we have to eat tonight?" Eric changed the topic, looking at Aunt Mary who was now looking at him with a smile on her face.They had all kinda agreed in their hearts not to worry about Eric. He was a cultivator, after all, and they knew how powerful he was.They
"What are you doing here?" Evelyn turned around, looking at Eric who had just walked into her room."Should I go back instead?" Eric asked, turning around to leave."I didn't say that, I was just asking what you wanted." Evelyn sighed, face palming not knowing what to do to Eric."What do husband and wife do together, alone and at night?" Eric grinned, walking towards Evelyn who was sitting on a chair with a lot of paperwork, intending to grope her from behind."I hope you remember that this room is soundproof right." Evelyn chuckled as she placed something on the table, which made Eric stop in his tracks."But this ain't fair." Eric sighed, feeling rather disgruntled."This world ain't fine baby." Evelyn grinned, turning around to look at Eric."So what do you want?" Evelyn asked, her voice finally turned serious as she looked at Eric."I know you have many questions, you can ask." Eric sighed and sat on the bed, staring at Evelyn who was now looking at him."Well...." Evelyn stutter
"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
(The Next Day)"Are you sure the head of the police would not be annoyed?" Charlotte asked as she turned to look at Eric with a slight frown on her face."Why should she get annoyed?" Eric shrugged, getting into the car.Everyone had already gone to work except for Aunt Mary who was always at home.For some unknown reason, Charlotte happened to sleep more than she was supposed to and thus woke up late.Eric wouldn't have woken up early if it was not for Emily who barged into the room and complained that he was to get a car for Emily.Chloe's workplace and Emily's workplace were quite a distance from each other.So because they didn't want to disturb Eric, Emily was the one taking them all to work.Natalie had a car, and Evelyn refused to take the car Chloe offered her.After all, it was Eric who had given it to her. So the lazy girl stormed to Eric's room that morning and demanded that he get Emily a car.As for Sophia, Eric's company was just right before they got to Chloe's company,
"You don't have to look so nervous, it's not as though I want to gobble you up." Eric chuckled, stepping into the house and glancing at Sophia, who seemed rather nervous, though she was trying her best to hide it."I'm not nervous." Sophia immediately denied it and walked back to the cushion, still struggling to hide her nervousness.She had been thinking about how to get Eric to notice her, she didn't know that he already did notice her and was coming already.Also, she didn't want the others to see Eric here; after all, what was a man with two girlfriends doing in the house of a single lady like her? That was going to arouse a lot of suspicion and she didn't want something like that."So you've been wanting to talk to me, what do you want to tell me?" Eric broke the silence and stared at Sophia who appeared to be lost in her thoughts."Well...." Sophia stuttered, not knowing what to say."I...." She continued to play with her fingers as she struggled to spill out the words.It was a
