The sounds of gunshots increased as Eric and Evelyn stepped out of the basement showing that the fight was still going on.It was somewhat heated as they could hear the shouts of the men telling themselves to take cover."Are you sure they are going to listen to us?" Evelyn asked as they walked towards where the gunshots were going."We'll just use their bodies as shields if they refuse to listen to us." Eric shrugged as he continued to drag the two men as though he was dragging a piece of trash."Brace yourself." Eric continued as they got closer to the shooting range."Stop!" Eric roared just as he got to the door.Immediately the shootings stopped as everyone turned to the door looking at Eric who walked out of the house with Diego and Ramon.Following behind him was Evelyn who had her gun pointed at both men ready to shoot."As you can see, I've captured your leader." Eric continued as he looked at the men in masks.There were about twenty with about five bodies on the floor. On t
Eric sighed as he alighted from the taxi at the front of the company. Looking at his phone, he knew he was over late as the time had exceeded for about an hour.Well, it was not his fault, the place they went was on the outskirts of the city, so he wasn't able to find a taxi easily which was why that had happened. Walking into the company's gate, he looked around, seeing that he couldn't see Chole, he couldn't help but heave in a sigh of relief.Greeting the security men, he walked to the garage with a smile on his face. Seems like he was quite lucky this time, Chole was planning to work overtime, so she wouldn't know that he was late.Getting to the garage, he walked to the car and quickly opened it wanting to drive to where he usually waited for Chole."So what time were you planning to pick me up?" A cold voice sounded just as Eric was about to start the car."Arrrghhh!" Eric screamed and immediately turned around wanting to attack the figure, but stopped midway seeing it was Cho
"Do you want more helpings?" Mary smiled as she looked at Eric."Sure," Eric replied, his mouth full of food."Besides, who wouldn't want to eat such delicious food? They must be delusional if they don't want more of it." Eric continued."It's alright dear, don't talk while eating, you might choke." Mary smiled as she helping Eric fetch more food for Eric's plate."Aren't you two done yet?" Chole's cold voice came as she rolled her eyes at Eric."Young miss, you should have something before you go," Mary smiled as she looked at Chole with a smile."No Aunt Mary, I'm not hungry, I'll eat at the company cafeteria later in the morning." Chole declined."Chole, you should eat, it's delicious." Eric encouraged me."I wouldn't miss a meal even if it means coming home every day. My life would be complete." Eric sighed, his tone containing a hint of regret."Just shut the hell up and eat what you'll eat, I don't wanna get late because of you." Chole snapped as she rolled her eyes at Eric.She
"President, it's almost time, they should be here soon," Natalie said as she arranged the documents while placing them carefully on the table.In a flash, thirty minutes passed, but still, there was no one. The expression on Chole's and Natalie's faces was filled with anger as they kept checking their time.Eric on the other hand doesn't seemed to be bothered with what was happening and kept drinking his coffee. God knew how many cups of coffee he had already as each time it finished, he'd call the waiter and make them refill it.Eric kept sipping the cup of offee in his front as he observed the room, all other things were none of his business. Whatever Chole and Natalie wanted to discuss with their clients, it was not his business and he was not interested in knowing."Aren't you going to stop taking the coffee?" Natalie snapped, breaking the silence."And why should I?" Eric frowned, raising his brows as he looked at Natalie in confusion."Aren't coffee meant to be taken or would yo
"Who the heck do you think you are?" The man Eric kicked stood up almost immediately and yelled."Didn't I tell you I'll send you to Hades if I hear one more word from you?" Eric squinted his brows as he looked at the man while walking slowly towards him."I..." The man stuttered seeing Eric walking towards him."I've already warned you, and since it seemed as though you're ready to go meet Hades, I'll gladly send you to him." Eric grinned squatting in front of the man."What the heck do you think you're doing?" Lorenz frowned as he spoke up."Shhhh!" Eric said, placing a finger on his lips."Don't interrupt me when I'm about to teach someone a lesson. If you're eager, I'll get to you soon, since you're the instigator.""How dare you!" Lorenz flew into a rage as he looked at Eric."Didn't I tell you not to disturb me, or do you want to go meet Hades faster?" Eric's eyes flashed with a glint as he turned around."Hehehehe!" Lorenz laughed as he looked at Eric."Who the heck do you thin
"Auntie, I'd love to eat, but I'm in a hurry." Eric smiled bitterly as he looked at Mary."It's fine Eric, I'll just pack it up for you since you're in a hurry." Mary smiled as she walked into the kitchen."Here." Mary smiled as she gave the takeout she just packed to Eric."Thanks, auntie, I'll make sure to eat it here next time," Eric said as he walked out of the Villa in a hurry while holding the takeaway."Shit, what a hassle not to own a car?" Eric grunted as he looked around for a taxi."Or should he go back and request that Chole borrow me a car?" He mumbled under his breath.But then knowing Chole well, she wasn't going to borrow him and was going to believe that he was going to pick girls up which was why he needed a car.After thinking about it, he abandoned the thought and flagged down a taxi."Take me to The Drunken Sailor," Eric said to the driver just as he got into the cab."Huh?" The driver froze upon hearing what Eric said."I'm sorry but...""Don't worry, take this."
"Huh?" The men and Lorenz froze seeing Eric walk into the room with a smile on his face."And who the heck are you?" One of the men growled as he looked at Eric."Are you fucking blind, or did something go through your brain making it unable to function?" Eric mouthed a series of curses."Can't you see that I'm the person inside the picture who you want to kill and feed his body to the dogs?" Eric continued with a slight chuckle."So it's you." The man sneered and immediately relaxed as he looked at Eric."What the heck are you doing here?" Lorenz sneered as he looked at Eric."I was walking by and I overheard you discussing your plan, so I decided to go buy a drink so that we could celebrate it," Eric Shrugged as he walked towards the table and opened the Vodka in his hand pouring it into the cups."Don't think that I've laced it, you can see that I just opened it now." Eric continued as he took his share."Aren't you going to celebrate with me?" Eric frowned as he raised his brows s
Getting to Eric, the men punched out simultaneously from all directions making sure to block Eric's escape path. They wanted to make sure to teach the latter a lesson as they had underestimated him which had led to them being beaten up."Alright, you don't fight like that." Eric laughed as he ducked, avoiding all of their punches."Bang!"A loud sound resounded throughout the room as the men collided with each other. They weren't expecting Eric to duck like that, besides never in the world had they thought that he was going to avoid their punches by bending down.As a result, they collided with each other while Eric swiftly left their midst as he looked at them with a grin on his face."Why don't you try harder, your time is ticking." Eric laughed as he stood a distance away and watched the men regain their composure."We'll attack him from the front, you attack him from behind, and you both attack from the sides." One of the men frowned as he said the others."What a nice strategy yo
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
