(The Next Day)Eric yawned as he opened his eyes looking around. The sun had risen and was coming in through the window. There was a slight smile on his face as he looked at the window.Seemed like he had slept in today. Well it was not his fault, he had been on a call all night the night before.Emily wouldn't let him be and also Chloe had a lot to discuss with him, so it was almost dawn before he slept.Besides, there was nothing he was doing which was why no one disturbed him when he slept in, he wasn't worried in the slightest.As for Charlotte, she was going to understand, he was sure about that, she would wait for him to come out, she had no other choice but to do that.Eric sighed and shook his head, pushing all thoughts away. There were better things he had to do other than thinking about these. He was still yet to look for the people the system asked him to look for.Well, he was going to start that today. But first, he needed to know who they were.Charlotte should be able t
"So are you going to tell me what you know now that I have told you why I want the information about those geniuses?" Eric asked, looking at Charlotte. "What the heck do you even think you're talking about?" Charlotte's expression changed as she looked at Eric. "You don't have to worry about me." Eric smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I know that I can't use money to persuade them, so stop thinking I'm going to use money, I'm not so naive." Eric laughed. Charlotte frowned as she looked at Eric. He didn't look like he was joking about what he was saying, he really knew what he was doing. Besides, he was powerful and he had been full of surprises, so she wondered if he might be able to do just what he had said. But it wasn't an easy thing, he would need a lot of luck on his side, leaving that apart, he was going to have real skills. But wait? Did he just say he knew about technology? Though she didn't hear him say it, but the way he was talking, it was as though he was
"Fine let's go." Charlotte rolled her eyes at Eric and stood up from her seat."Good." Eric laughed at standing up with a smile on his face.Soon, he was going to get what he wanted and then he'll be able to plan what he wanted.But then at the same time, he had to be careful, here was not like Orange City, he had to know what he was doing.If it was not because he was looking for the easy way out, he wouldn't have asked Charlotte for help, but then he felt that it would be faster and besides, he had no time to waste.He only had a week to spend in this place and he had already wasted three days.There were only four days left and thus he needed to work faster. Besides, he was going to need to go back with Emily cause he was sure that Emily wouldn't go back without him.Even if she would, she would request for one of his cars and those cars were very expensive.He wondered how she was doing, all he was hoping was that she was fine.Though they had talked that morning, she didn't sound
"Here we are." Charlotte sighed alighting from the taxi looking at the huge and magnificent building in her front."Good thing." She continued.If only Eric was not annoying, then she would be willing to explain to him everything that was here. But at the moment, she lost the will to even talk to him, so she didn't even care if he understood anything or not."Let's go." She continued and walked into the building."Welcome General!" The two men in uniform by the gate saluted Charlotte immediately when they saw her.Charlotte nodded and walked into the building. Eric was tagging along with a smile on his face."Welcome General!" Another salute came from the nearby men and women who were going about their job.Charlotte nodded as she walked towards the elevator.Soon, there were salutes here and there. The men would stop what they were doing and salute Charlotte who'll then reply with a nod.On a normal occasion, she would have just asked them not to salute her, but she wanted Eric to se
This time around, Eric couldn't care less about Jake and directly ignored him. If the latter wasn't able to talk politely, then he was going to ignore him.He didn't know how he was anyway. Even if he knew, it wasn't going to change his attitude towards him, he was just going to act as though he couldn't hear him. Seeing Eric's actions, Jake exploded into rage. Who the heck did that figure think he was daring to ignore him.That was a lot of audacity for someone that he couldn't sense any Cultivation from.The only ones allowed to act arrogantly in front of him were Cultivators. If you were not a cultivator, then you have to respect him."I see you don't want to listen to me right?" Jake frowned after a while."Are you talking to me?" Eric asked, his voice sarcastic."No, I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to that chair beside you." Jake replied with venom in his voice."Yeah, I thought so, you couldn't possibly be talking to me in that manner." Eric laughed."How dare you?" Jake ex
"We have found Jude's whereabouts and we need to go attack him before he leaves." Jake said with all seriousness."Then we should leave right away." Charlotte's expression changed as she said."I've already gathered the men, I came to look for you as you know we can't go without you." Jake said."Then let's leave." Charlotte replied."Alright, I'll go and tell the men it's time." Jake nodded and left the place."Meet me in the garage." He continued as he walked out of the office."Alright." Charlotte nodded and turned to look at Eric."Why are you looking at me?" Eric couldn't help but ask seeing that Charlotte was staring at him.."If you want to read this document that's with me, then you'll have to go with us." Charlotte suddenly said.She knew that she had to trap Eric if she wanted Eric to follow her, she would have to trap him with something he was not Able to resist, or else he was going to reject her without a second thought."Alright." Eric nodded in agreement.Charlotte coul
"Please, don't act out of turn once we are there." Charlotte looked at Eric as he pleaded with a sigh."No problem." Eric nodded with agreement.There was no way he was going to spoil their operations. He was just going to see what they were going to do.Besides, he had a lot of things to think about, there was no way he would be able to care about other things, he was just going to leave them to their devices, so it was none of his business.The only time he was going to interfere was if he saw that they were not able to beat their opponent, then he was going to help, or else he would be too lazy to move even a finger.That was just it, as long as Charlotte was not in danger, he was not going to mind.Since she was going to become his woman sooner or later, he had to make sure that he protected her.It was just normal that she received the same amount of care he had for the others.So that was it, there were other things he had in mind. He was still trying to come up with a plan, so
"And you Charlotte, it's been quite a while since I saw you." Jude laughed looking at Charlotte who was staring at him with a vicious expression."Jude, you're a criminal, hurry up and surrender or else we won't have mercy." Charlotte sneered."That would be very good, I need you to come make me surrender, I'll gladly do that under your pressure." Jude laughed.Charlotte frowned as she felt pressure in her heart. Jude was someone with the same level of strength as her, so it was normal for him not to be scared.But at the moment, they were two and yet, he was very arrogant. Could it be that he had already ingested that which he stole?If that was the case, then they could as well forget about leaving here. He was now so powerful that there was nothing they would be able to do to him.But then she was sure that he wouldn't be too crazy to ingest what he had stolen.But why was the reason he had stolen it in the first place? Of course it was to increase his strength.Jude was once a par
