If Roland really thought that way, then it would be over between Keith and Valerie.Irvin felt the need to say something, quickly adding, "Mr. Draco, Keith absolutely didn't mean that. I have never looked down on you, either. If I really judged people based on this standard, I wouldn't have become sworn brothers with Eric!"He was relieved that he had brought Eric with him.Roland was aware of the sworn brotherhood between Eric and Irvin. He nodded and said, "Mr. Sonnex, you're right. Anyway, let's not dwell on this. I've ordered my chef to cook us some dishes. Let's enjoy ourselves later!"Irvin nodded.After the meal, Roland did not prolong their stay, and his somewhat indifferent attitude clearly indicated that it was time for the guests to leave.Naturally, Irvin understood his intention and took the initiative to depart.Irvin smacked Keith again in the car and warned, "You're lucky that Roland decided to forgive you this time. If there's another time, you'll be on your own

The Sonnexes were known for their wealth and generosity.The priest from Draco Summit arrived promptly. They also needed money for their livelihood and to repair their sanctum. "It's a minor issue. Don't worry too much, Mr. Sonnex," Quintin reassured.Although they typically wouldn't accept such commissions, given the Sonnexes' wealth and Eric's involvement, they made an exception.Irvin respectfully stated, "Father Amorth, please have a seat. We'll send your remuneration shortly!"Quintin waved his hand and handed a card to Irvin. "Mr. Sonnex, this is the account for the Celestial Sage Sanctum. You can transfer the funds directly."Irvin frowned, noticing the Celestial Sage Sanctum's improved handling of their business.Sylvia then asked, "Father Amorth, forgive my curiosity, but how much does a priest like you charge for a commission like this?""Well…" Quintin chuckled. "This isn't a secret, but generally, the amount varies. Sometimes, we don't even charge a penny. Occasion

Madison's case had progressed significantly with the assistance of two grandmasters from the Combat Department.Upon Eric's arrival at the office, Robert and the two members from the Combat Department were present. When Robert observed Eric approaching with Sylvia, he hesitated to reveal the case's progress, mindful of the need for confidentiality.Noticing Robert's hesitance, one of the Combat Department members reassured him, "Sergeant Wilson, no need to worry. Ms. Williams can be considered personnel in the Combat Department!"Reassured, Robert explained, "After reviewing the surveillance footage in the area and considering the murder scene, we can conclude that Mr. Ruske's death appears to be the result of the actions of a highly skilled assassin!"Eric narrowed his eyes, familiar with such scenarios.Robert's conclusion wasn't surprising, given the Combat Department's dealings with professional assassins. While Eric had faced them before, he acknowledged not fully understandi

Now that Sylvia grasped the severity of the issue, she finally understood why Eric insisted on solving the case.Standing at a higher position sometimes made comprehending certain problems challenging. However, things became clearer when one put themselves in someone else's shoes.As one of the Williams, Sylvia had never worried about money and had no idea about life in the lower strata.Basic necessities were never a concern for her, and she naturally did not realize the serious consequences. Sometimes, certain things might not seem to have an immediate impact, but over the long term, they could become a source of endless trouble.-A few days later, Robert and his team returned from Streamville."The situation is critical!" he told Eric. "Mr. Finn has indeed been dismissed for an investigation. If it weren't for the Combat Department's assistance, I wouldn't have been able to meet him!Robert still felt some lingering fear when he talked about the trip. "During this trip, I di

"Who is this?" Eric sneered. "Phoenix City, Eric. Do you still remember?" "It's you?!"The person appeared shocked to hear Eric's name. His voice began to tremble as he said, "W-Why did you call me?""I need your help with something," Eric said. "About a week ago, did any of your people come to Salt City for a mission?""Hold on! Let me check!" the other party replied.After a while, he returned. "I got it. Indeed, someone went to Salt City about a week ago, and their target was someone named Madison Ruske." Eric stood up immediately and said, "Where is he? Tell him to get his ass to Salt City immediately to see me! Otherwise, I'll personally come over to settle the score with you!"After that, he hung up. In fact, he had no idea where Stealthbane was, and he was just bluffing him.Meanwhile, Eric's domineering attitude shocked Robert and the two grandmasters. They had no idea who Eric had called, but they knew it must be someone of high status.Seeing their confusion, Eri

Robert persisted in the investigation.At the same time, Eric sensed the urge to intervene, given the case's connection to him. Without his involvement, Robert might encounter hindrances in the investigation, and in the worst-case scenario, it could lead to his death.Nevertheless, Eric's concerns lessened with the Combat Department's participation.-On that particular day, Winston approached Eric, and he speculated it pertained to the cultivation of medicinal herbs in the laboratory.Winston appeared in good spirits as he greeted with a smile, "Hol. Johnson, the start of a new semester is upon us."Eric raised an eyebrow. Evidently, Winston wished to discuss the holistic medicine university with him.Winston continued. "The aftermath of the last competition between holistic and modern medicine surpassed our expectations. Last year, some renowned holistic physicians in King City took charge of organizing the holistic medicine university's affairs. Ultimately, they opted to esta

Those students hailing from remote areas and enrolled at King City University would be granted scholarships sufficient to support them throughout their tertiary education.Furthermore, the holistic medicine college also bestowed competitive benefits upon its students, including the waiver of tuition fees. Additionally, the college provided them with salaries, and students would be directly assigned to jobs after graduation.To the uninformed, studying holistic medicine might seem pointless, but those in the know recognized it as a rare opportunity. After all, the professors in their holistic medicine college were all prominent figures, equivalent to elites in social status.Consider Winston, for instance. Local officials in Salt City and prominent families such as the Sonnexes and Williams treated him with great respect. Social connections were fundamental to career progress after entering society!Observing the treatment received by the students of the holistic medicine college, S
Chapter 1042
The students were all astonished. Among the teaching staff of the holistic medicine college, there was actually one who seemed to have connections with the underworld. They even wondered if Eric was there to ensure their safety.Observing the students' reactions, the senior holistic physician smiled, saying, "Students, consider this your first lesson today! From now on, never underestimate anyone!"This is Professor Eric Johnson, whom we invited through various connections. It's an honor to have him as part of our teaching staff here."The students exclaimed. All the senior holistic physicians there were distinguished characters in society, yet they had to rely on various connections to invite Eric to the college?The senior holistic physician chuckled/ "Curious, aren't you? With Prof. Johnson here, our holistic medicine college has been elevated by several levels. The medical skills of all of us combined can't even match up to Prof. Johnson alone!"Eric quickly waved his hand. If
