Chapter 1037
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

"I'd like a club sandwich, Prof. Johnson!"Prof. Johnson, I'd like steak!"Prof. Johnson, I'd also like a drink!"Prof. Johnson..."Eric finally sensed that something was off. "What's going on with you?"Sylvia smiled. "Nothing much, Prof. Johnson. Let's eat?"Eric was puzzled and kept glancing at Sylvia during the meal."What's wrong, Prof. Johnson? Don't you like the food?" Sylvia asked with a smile.Eric felt something was wrong and started feeling uneasy. "Can we... not do this?"Before Sylvia could speak, a surprised voice echoed. "S-Sylvia? Is that you?"Sylvia looked up and saw a man in his early 30s, with hair parted down the middle, approaching her.Sylvia looked puzzled. "You are..." Although she didn't quite recall this person from her memory, he felt somewhat familiar."It's me, Diego! We were in the same class at university!" Diego Martinez said."Oh..." Sylvia nodded. "What are you doing here?"She couldn't recall having a classmate named Diego during her
Chapter 1044
Sylvia glanced at Eric. "Ah, speaking of which, he is also half your colleague, a professor at King City University! He insisted on treating me to a meal, so I reluctantly agreed."Eric's mouth twitched.Wasn't Sylvia the one who suggested coming to the cafeteria?Diego was stunned at the revelation.But he had never seen Eric on the university premises before.What puzzled him even more was that Sylvia used to be known for her aloofness in university. Not only had she been maintaining a cold demeanor toward male classmates, but even female classmates had been hesitant to approach her.How could she accept his invitation unless they were quite close?But even so, inviting such a beautiful woman to the cafeteria for a meal seemed... inappropriate.Thinking of that, Diego suggested, "The food in the cafeteria is just average. There's a seafood restaurant near the entrance that receives fresh seafood every day. How about we go there?""Let's skip that for today." Sylvia shook her
