Eric jumped out of the car, opened the driver's door, and pulled out the driver, then he tore the shirt of the driver and used it to tie the place he shot on his thigh to prevent further bleeding.Afterward, Eric stood up and walked towards the car and dragged the remaining men out of the car, disarmed them before throwing them to a corner. Walking towards the first unlucky one he had thrown out of the car, he smiled and grabbed him to join the latter as he had fainted.At that moment, the whole place was silent as everyone watched Eric. It was as though they were watching a movie scene live.From the time Eric had ripped off the door of the Benz, to disarming the criminals and all other things he did."Phew! That was close," Eric sighed, wiping away the sweat on his face.Turning around, he looked at the disfigured Lambo not far from him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.This was bad, that tyrannosaurus of a woman was probably going to have his head. How was he going to pacify he
"Phew!" Eric breathed in a sigh of relief as he alighted from the taxi.For a moment, he had thought that Evelyn was going to chase after him as he knew quite well that she was going to be mad after he had wrecked her Lambo.It was not that he could not afford to buy her back the Lambo, but Evelyn's outburst was not something he could afford, thus he fled the scene.Knowing her well, he kept praying in his heart that she wasn't going to chase after him though he didn't know when she arrived. Now that he had arrived back at the company, he felt all relieved.As for the consequences, he was going to be facing them later on, that was none of his problems."Young brother, the president came looking for you right after you went out, a few hours ago." One of the security men said to Eric just as he got back to the security post."Huh?" Eric's expression changed upon hearing what the man said and couldn't help but twitch his mouth and ask,"What did you tell her?""Well, lying is prohibited
"How dare she look down on me?" Eric grumbled as he was walking out of the office.Walking right into the office near Chloe's office, he looked around in shock for a moment, he wondered if she had all these planned out.There was a table at the center of the office, a complete set of computers with a Printer and all that.Plain papers by the side, a toilet at the other side, a water dispenser, a tray of coffee mugs and some other stuff, and then a refrigerator backing the wall. Looking at this setting, Eric couldn't help but smile widely.For a moment, he forgot about his problem as his stomach rumbled rather loudly. He had been too busy trying to create new software and unique software for the phone Cisco was going to launch, so he didn't have time to cook.As for the other projects he had in mind, it would be later when Cisco was balanced, as of now, he was just going to focus on creating smaller projects.Pushing all these to the back of his mind, Eric walked towards the fridge and
"What did you just say?" Chole raised her head, looking at Eric in shock."I think you heard me right?" Eric's face scrunched up in displeasure as he looked at Chole, he couldn't care less about being polite. It was not as though she respected him in the first place.With the way she looked at him, it was obvious that she looked down on him, so he couldn't care less if he was right or wrong.Chole on the other hand looked at Eric in shock, then at the documents on the table as she didn't believe that the latter could translate the entire document in less than an hour.She had initially given him the task out of anger knowing well that he didn't understand Spanish. Though he had complained, she had put up a cold front as though she didn't care.Seeing now that he had completed the task made her a little bit shocked as she couldn't understand. Could it be that he was lying and trying to avoid the task from the beginning?Yeah, that has to be the case, there was no explanation for it oth
Eric sighed as he quickly walked back to the security post, knowing well how crazy Natalie was, he walked towards the two security men standing at the gate and offered to take one of their posts.The men were shocked to hear Eric's offer. Ever since the latter came, he had never offered to stand by the gate, but then they couldn't care less about it, after all, he seemed somewhat close to the president.Besides, he had a good skill so they didn't even bother him and just behaved as though he was never there. But since the latter wanted to stand today, there was nothing they could do about it."Eric, where the heck are you!" Natalie's angry roar came just as Eric stood at the gate.At that point, the two men immediately understood what had happened, and it seemed like Eric had offended them. He wasn't supposed to."I'm sorry, but I can't attend to you now, I'm working right now." Eric grinned, and in the next moment, the grin disappeared changing into a bitter smile as he looked at Nat
"Aren't you going to stop him?" Natalie frowned looking at Eric who was wolfing down the meal on his table."Just ignore him. As long as you act like you don't know him, you'll feel less embarrassed." Chole said calmly as she looked around the banquet.If not for the fact that her father had requested that she come to this banquet on his behalf, she wouldn't have attended, she hated social gatherings like this.It was the Reed family hosting the banquet, their eldest son had just returned from where he went to study and would be taking over the company. So they decided to host a banquet.She had also heard that he was going to be announcing whom he was going to marry as he already found the girl he loved. Chole knew the eldest son of the Reeds family quite well and unlike all others, he wasn't a playboy.This was the only reason why her impression of him was a little bit much. But still, she found him annoying as he had pestered her a lot of times and she hated pestering."The eldest
Eric's expression changed upon hearing what Natalie said, what the heck was she thinking? Why the heck would she say something like that?Quickly, he turned to look at Chole, but much to his shock, she turned her head away. Seeing this, Eric smiled bitterly and turned to look at Natalie, but she ignored his gaze and stared at Russell instead.At the moment, Natalie was feeling elated, she was finally going to get back at the hoodlum. all the grievances he had caused her. Though she couldn't beat him in a fight, at least she could put him in trouble."Boy, what the hell were you thinking, talking to me that way." Russell sneered after confirming that Chole wasn't going to support Eric."Well sorry to say, the beauty you're trying your best to protect has left you all to your defense," Russell continued with a smile on his face."And who said I was trying to protect her in the first place?" Eric shrugged."I was only curious and asking questions as I didn't quite get what was happening,
"How long would this torture last!" Eric grumbled from where he sat as he played with his phone.It had been a week since the banquet incident, other than sitting here all day long, he had no other job. As for Cisco, he was yet to finish writing the program though he was halfway done.Besides, since the incident, Chole had become much colder as it seemed like she looked down on him. And as for Natalie, if not for the fact that he had been avoiding her, she would have challenged him.Thankfully, she and Chole seemed to be busy over the past week as a result everything was at a bare minimum. This as a result had made Eric quite bored and frustrated.Apart from all these, he had made Zero improvements, he couldn't call Evelyn as he was afraid of her outburst even though she owed him two favors. And as for Chole and Natalie, they were like two immovable mountains.He just couldn't think of a way to subdue them in just three months. Well, then he had stopped thinking about it. Since there
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
"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
"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
"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
