Vince and Matthew handled the rest, while Sylvia and Eric stayed out of it.Eric drove their car over, and everyone could see that the BMW was indeed much inferior to the car Sylvia was sitting in.After bidding farewell to her classmates, Sylvia asked Eric to drive away.Glancing at Sylvia, Eric asked, "Honey, you weren't like this before. Why so...""So arrogant, right?" Sylvia smiled and said. Seeing Eric nod, she continued. "That guy was too much. You can't reason with such people. You have to show them who the boss is."I did this to suppress his arrogance and because it's not appropriate for you to intervene in such matters."Sylvia's intervention was not without reason. In fact, their identities were quite sensitive. Eric's identity was even more sensitive, so letting Sylvia handle it was much more appropriate.Before they returned home, Vince called. The matter had been settled, and the compensation had been paid. The police at the scene had charged Matthew and Vince wit

The advantage of news dissemination lay in its speed, allowing exposure of certain unsavory activities online to pursue justice.However, the drawback was the ease with which public opinion could be manipulated. Some news outlets selectively used snippets of information or images, distorting the content. The true events, along with their causes and consequences, were seldom explored by internet users.Additionally, some individuals on the internet tended to criticize others, even though many of them were relatively unknown.Eric paid little attention to online occurrences, focusing on delivering a lecture to the students before heading back to Salt City.The establishment of the holistic medicine college by senior physicians didn't aim to select talented individuals from this group of students.These students were already 18 or 19 years old, past the prime time for learning holistic medicine. Most holistic physicians commenced training at a young age, around five or six years old.

After arriving at an empty spot, Diego confessed, "I… I did something that makes me feel very sorry for you all!"Eric frowned and inquired, "What happened?"He was puzzled. He and Sylvia hadn't interacted much with Diego, leaving him unaware of what transpired.Letting out a sigh, Diego explained, "I was blinded by jealousy when I saw you all achieving great success! That night, outside the restaurant, I recorded some footage and posted it online. But I really didn't expect it to escalate so quickly!"Eric was momentarily stunned. While he knew some people intended to sensationalize such things, he didn't expect the original footage to come from Diego.Apparently, higher education didn't automatically make someone a better person. Even with an increase in education and social status, they were still susceptible to jealousy.Diego was a prime example. He was jealous of Eric.Although Eric was upset, he remained calm and stated, "Prof. Martinez, you're an adult. How could you do

Before Eric could say anything, Sylvia smiled and said, "Mom, it's nothing. It's just a minor issue, and it hasn't affected us much. That's why Eric hasn't taken any action."Eric added, "Mom, I've already asked someone to look into it."Upon hearing that, Grace felt somewhat reassured. Some matters might seem trivial to others, but in Grace's eyes, anything related to her family was of great importance.Later on, Grace brought up the matter of the Joint Family Association, which brought together the two top-tier families in King City, the McClains and Watsons, along with the newly rising Montgomerys. The Association comprised a total of ten major families, and its strength was undeniably formidable.This matter had already stirred up a storm in the business circle. Numerous families, even those outside King City, wanted to join the Association but were outright rejected. The Association was still in its exploratory phase, and whether it would succeed or not was not an absolute cer

Chad's mouth was filled with blood, and his companions, whom he had brought with him, lay on the ground groaning.Sylvia had already called the police. Before kicking the door, Eric had instructed her to contact the authorities in case any altercation ensued.In the private room, some students remained unaffected by the commotion.Witnessing Eric knock down the opposing group, a few male students with minor injuries quickly gathered around him."Prof. Johnson!" one of the male students angrily exclaimed, "These bastards wanted to take our female classmates and sell them. We must bring them to justice!"Eric nodded. Observing some male students eager to retaliate against Chad, Eric intervened. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach him a lesson. They were young, around 18 or 19 years old, with the oldest among them being only 20. Instilling violent thoughts in them at this age was not a good idea."The police and an ambulance are on their way," Eric stated. "Those who aren't injur

Kevin placed Eric's identification on the table and smiled coldly."You don't look like a good person, Lieutenant General Johnson." He continued sarcastically. "Why don't you pretend to be the Secretary-General? I think that identity would be more believable!"Eric chuckled. "I can't blame you for not knowing about me, but you can make a call to your superiors. Or you can open my phone. There's a contact labeled 'Big Boss' in there. You can call and ask him. If that doesn't work, there's another contact named Lieutenant General McClain. After the call connects, tell them I'm at your station."Upon hearing that, Kevin laughed. "Don't try to bluff me! This trick won't work! You've beaten those guys severely, and now you're in trouble!"Eric shrugged indifferently. He had already disclosed his identity, including his position as a professor at the holistic medicine college of King City University. He had various credentials to prove it, but Kevin just refused to believe him.Kevin ha

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kevin was displeased, observing that Eric intended to cause trouble with the students. "Are you trying to rebel? Do you even know where you are? What's this about justice being delayed but not absent? We represent justice! There's nothing you can do here!"Furious, he knew he was not wrong about Eric. With his scarred face, Eric seemed far from being a good person.Kevin was about to say more when several cars drove in.As the car doors opened, a middle-aged man got out first, followed by another person who opened the rear car door. Eric recognized both of them. The first man was a higher-ranking official, and the second was Miller.Both of them walked toward Eric.Kevin rushed forward to salute, but his superior ignored him. Instead, he eagerly extended his hand to Eric. "Lieutenant General Johnson, I'm deeply sorry for what happened."When he saw the handcuffs on Eric's hand, he snarled, "Who the hell handcuffed Lieutenant General Johnson?

Miller sneered. "You're right. There are good and bad students in the university, but your department is no different! There are both good and bad among you!"Let me ask you one question. Since you claim it was a brawl, why did you arrest Lieutenant General Johnson only? What about that group of thugs? Now, I want you to bring them here immediately!""But…" Kevin hesitated.Miller coldly snorted. "What's the matter? Is this too difficult for you? Didn't you send them to the hospital? After doing such a thing, how can you let them escape? Or perhaps you're the one who let them go?"Kevin shivered. When he was about to say something, Eric's phone rang. With handcuffs on, he answered the call. "Matteo."Matteo said, "Mr. Johnson, my men found a group of five people based on the clues. They also have injuries. Upon interrogation, it seems they are likely the troublemakers near King City University!""Alright." Eric nodded in gratitude. "Thanks, Matteo. Please bring them to me. I'll s
