"Huh?" Jake froze hearing what Eric had said."I don't understand, what do you mean?" Jake asked, looking rather confused.At the moment, he secretly wanted to beat up Eric for the trouble he had stirred, but the latter was far stronger than him, so there was nothing he could do.He could only patiently listen to the other party. Eric was the one who had done the killings and yet he was the one full of worries… Eric doesn't look bothered about anything at all. The murderer wasn't even worried and now was telling him that he also shouldn't worry.He shouldn't worry and watch the Wallace family be destroyed? Never was he going to do that.Also, since Eric was working with the Wallace family, they would be the one to bear the full brunt of the attack."So tell me, why did you say I shouldn't worry?" Jake managed to suppress his anger and asked as politely as he could."Not really much of a reason, but because the Adams family and the Carter family can't touch you as long as I'm here." E
Jason frowned slightly raising his head to look at the two, he couldn't believe that they were going to ask such a simple question. Well, it was not their fault. They might have not gotten it yet, but he understood what was happening. "That's because if we don't want to incur Eric's wrath, we shouldn't touch anyone close to him, it would be better to attack him directly," Jason replied. Logan and Claude frowned after hearing this. Eric was the one who started and now they wanted to take revenge, but they had to be careful not to incur his wrath. What the hell was with that logic? It was twisted. "I'm not sure but if you've noticed, Eric is not the type to play with the safety of those around him." Jason sighed seeing the expression on Logan and Claude's faces. "So if we are to touch any of them, that would make Eric descend into a frenzy." Jason continued. "He would do anything to make sure he brings us down, also, don't forget about the fact that he's quite skilled in ma
(A Week Later)"Eric, the Adam's Family are inviting us to a banquet tonight. Do you think I should go?" Chloe frowned, waving the invitation card of the banquet in front of Eric who was sitting right in front of her.It had been a week since the incident of Eric Killing Denver and John. Everything had died down and almost everyone had forgotten about it except for some set of people.But then Eric knew that nothing had died down and this was just the beginning. He could tell that the Adam's were planning something, but just couldn't say what it was.Well then, whenever they were ready to attack, he was also ready, so he didn't care about them and was just at alert waiting for them to react.He knew that they had already found out that he was the one who killed Denver and John. And if they hadn't found out, then they were still investigating.Once they found out that he was the one who killed the two he was sure that they were going to make a move.It was not hard at all to tell. So
"You came Just right in time, I was about to ask Mr. Michael to deliver something to you." Logan retracted his hands from the hand shake and said."That was quite close." Eric nodded in agreement."The Adam's family are organizing a banquet tonight, so I've come to invite the president of Cisco, but I never expected to meet you, so I'll just be giving you the invitation card instead." Logan continued with a flawless smile.Though on the inside, he was burning in rage and it was as though he should hack Eric into pieces."What a coincidence." Eric laughed."Here's the card." Logan said, bringing out an invitation card from his pocket."I'll be taking my leave, seems like you two have a lot to discuss." He continued and headed out of the office."If I may ask, what's the reason for the banquet?" Eric asked just before Logan could walk out of the office."We are just trying to celebrate our new Co-operation with AstralTech Cooperation at the same time, we want to mourn the loss of Denve
"I never expected this?" Eric Chuckled looking at the huge building in front."You never expected what?" Chloe frowned looking at Eric wondering what he meant."I never expected that the Adams family would hold their banquet here in Peninsula Hotel." Eric replied.He was pleasantly surprised after looking at the invitation card and seeing that the banquet was going to be held at the peninsula hotel.Though it has been quite a while since he visited the Hotel, it belonged to him, so the Adam's family were just giving him money."Are you expecting them to use a four or three star Hotel?" Chloe rolled her eyes looking at Eric and wondering why he was surprised.The Adam's family were on the same level as her family, so booking the hotel to use was not too much. Besides, the people they had invited were all top class.If they used a lesser place, then they would be disappointed and the next time they organized a banquet, they wouldn't be willing to attend."Let's go in." Eric said after a
Eric smiled bitterly not knowing what to say to Chloe. His cover has been blown in the strangest way possible.But that's none of his business. He was sure that Logan had some motives for doing what he had done.But then he couldn't put his fingers on it and could only hope that nothing would go wrong.Chloe on the other hand couldn't think straight. She couldn't believe that she had made the president of Cisco her bodyguard for weeks now.She could remember Eric's words when Jake had offered him money after saving her. It turned out that he was not being proud.He really didn't need the money. Besides, she had disrespected him over the times and had been cold to him.Though she didn't know how she had fallen for him, Eric was someone she just couldn't understand.But if he was the president of Cisco, then why did he still accept her offer to work for her as a bodyguard?Could it be that he did that so that he could chase her? That shouldn't be the case right?Yes she was sure of it.
(Few Hours Later)"Thanks for coming, and this would be the end of the banquet." Logan who was on the stage smiled looking at everyone, most especially at Eric.There was a frown on his face. He had been expecting the other party to have lost control and rushed out of the hall, but much to his shock, Eric seemed fine and was even chatting with Chloe.There was no need for him to panic or rush, the dose of Aphrodisiac and the other medicine that Eric had consumed was twice the amount he was supposed to consume, so he wasn't scared that anything was going to go wrong.He was just too anxious which was why it looked like the medicine was not working, but he was sure that it was working.Pushing all thoughts of the alcohol off his mind, he smiled, starting to see other guests out. The only family which they had invited and didn't come was the Addams family.The old man Simon was said to be sick and wouldn't be able to come, as for Evelyn, the only sole heir of the company and the family a
"I'll be taking my leave sir, I've done as you've said." The man who had just given Logan a file smiled looking at Eric who appeared to be drunk and was leaning slightly on Chole."Alright..." Eric mumbled wanting to hold Chloe, but held back at the last moment as he came back to his senses.He was regretting the reason he asked them to put all of that information there. If he had known that the Adams family knew he was the owner of Cisco, he wouldn't have done that. But that wasn't the time for all that, he had to control himself, or else."Yes sir." The man nodded and immediately hurried off.This was going to be his and the president's little secret. The president couldn't wait to get the beautiful lady to bed, so he had to leave and not delay any further.As for Chloe, she looked at Eric, whose face was red and was constantly trying to touch her but was always holding back at the last moment."Has he left?" Eric suddenly asked as he seemed to snap out."Yes he has." Chloe nodded
