Homer snorted coldly and ordered, "Gabriel, send someone to investigate this matter immediately! If nobody dares to speak up, then we'll trace it back to the source!"Everyone stays here. You're not allowed to touch your phones, and absolutely no answering or making calls! I want to see who's got the guts to do such a thing!" He understood that this was his sole escape route. Even though the holistic medicine college had fewer students, they remained fiercely loyal to each other. In the past, accepting an apprentice required significant effort, but now the college boasted a substantial student body.The new students were astounded. Their seniors had warned them about the college's prowess, with its professors capable of addressing any challenge. Initially doubtful, they were now thoroughly surprised to discover that the rumors were indeed accurate."A few days ago, a senior said that these professors are the most formidable figures we'll ever come into contact with in our lives. I

The Combat Department had already noticed the issue with the textbooks and had begun secretly investigating it.Upon receiving Eric's call, they immediately rushed to King City University. Eric sat in his chair and said indifferently, "It seems that the problem you're involved in goes beyond just the bedding. How dare you target our next generation?! I'll put it straight. I don't care who you are! Anyone who dares to harm them will face my wrath!"Eric had meticulously analyzed the situation from various perspectives.Firstly, he delved into the parents' viewpoint. When the school or its associates exploited their children for financial gain, what recourse did the parents possess?They felt obligated to suffer in silence for their children's sake. Speaking up could potentially harm their children's welfare at school. They couldn't afford to gamble with their children's futures, thus opting to spend money to address the problem on behalf of their children. Regrettably, this mere

There was no way Homer could get away as well. To put it plainly, he had failed as the dean of King City University, and there would be no problem in charging him with dereliction of duty. Sensing that Miller still had more to say, Eric stood up and said, "Let's discuss this outside." Sylvia followed as she could listen to matters regarding the Combat Department.As they left, the students of the holistic medicine college erupted into chatter."Wow!""I thought Professor Johnson was just a holistic medicine physician? Then why did that imposing person salute him?" Derek cleared his throat and said, "All of you should focus on your studies! Don't pry into matters you shouldn't!" The students quieted down, but their curiosity remained. It was astonishing to discover someone more influential than Homer at the university.On the other side, Miller said, "It appears that several cases are related. The virus incidents and the issues with pre-packaged food and textbooks all have t

Pierce sighed and said, "Our economy was very poor 40 years ago, and most people couldn't even afford to eat properly. This situation persisted until 30 years ago. In the past 20 years, our economy has started to take off, with abundant resources and economic development. "However, there are still many people in the world who hope that we remain poor so that they can keep us at the bottom of the production chain and serve as the cheapest labor force for them! "Fortunately, we are very resilient! But even so, there are still people continuously suppressing us!"Eric remained silent, knowing that Pierce had not finished yet.Pierce then continued. "Nowadays, our international influence is growing, and we have more chips in our hands. But precisely because our economy is doing so well and we have abundant resources, there are always people eyeing us!"You and Sylvia probably know about many international organizations, but what I want to say is that these international organization

"I'll have to play it by ear," Eric said. "Besides, it doesn't matter if I can do it or not. I don't have any other choice but to go. After all, Big Boss gives me a hefty sum every month.""How much does he pay you?" Sylvia asked out of pure curiosity.Eric chuckled. "Adding it all up for the whole year, it's about 700,000-800,000 dollars.""What?!" Sylvia was astonished. "T-That's so little?!" People like Eric, Ruth, and Pierce could easily make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in a year regardless of where they were. Even the Lockes at the Montgomerys received several million dollars per year.The top-tier families in King City typically started spending from tens of millions. The higher the level of the family, the greater the expenses in this regard.Eric and Pierce could easily command a salary in the tens of millions with their martial arts skills, yet the Combat Department only offered a few hundred thousand!"Is it low?" Eric remarked. "There are other bene

The cases overseen by Miller and Robert were still ongoing. It appeared that the other party was aware of Eric and Pierce's identities since no one had contacted them to release those who were arrested.After all, everyone was aware of the nature of the Combat Department. A single phone call could potentially ruin their careers. Who would risk their future for someone else's?-After spending a few days in King City, Eric and Sylvia prepared to return to Salt City.Grace hesitated to part ways as she had grown fond of Yvette. However, she understood that Eric's career, family, and everything else were in Salt City. It wasn't practical for him to remain in King City for an extended period.After sending Eric, Sylvia, and Yvette to the airport, Grace returned to the Montgomery residence and sighed.Alexander said, "It's all Sean's fault for not being competent enough! If he worked harder, you could have gone to Salt City to live by now."Grace said, "What's the point of blaming hi

In the afternoon, Eric and Sylvia wanted to visit Elly. However, Amelia insisted on taking care of the child herself for a few days to strengthen their bond.During the meal at Elly's place, Andy mentioned something important. The three major international companies had intensified their sanctions against the Innova Group, but it seemed to have little effect.Andy admired Sylvia's foresight in acquiring Frontier Digital. Without it, the Innova Group would have faced significant challenges.After all, the chip was the most important part of those devices. Without chips, they would not be able to manufacture any devices."It's pretty easy, honestly," Sylvia modestly replied. "We simply need to thoroughly understand the international situation, foresee potential methods of suppression and sanctions from their viewpoint, and plan accordingly. Now, Michael is doing great abroad. In this industry, the Innova Group has firmly established its position."The Innova Group had undoubtedly be

Roland chuckled. "Mr. Johnson, I'm just a roughneck. How would I know about international affairs?"Eric glanced at Roland and said, "Roland, don't say that. I know you must have your own opinion."Roland smiled. "I think they're just bullshitting. They're doing this just to establish a positive image and engage in some shady dealings under the guise of charity."These people are just nosy dogs sticking their noses where they don't belong. What do our own affairs have to do with them? I believe they have ulterior motives."What's all this talk about human health? It's just a facade. I don't know what they're really up to, but I know it can't be anything good!"Roland's viewpoint was similar to that of Pierce. Such individuals could see through the essence of things at a glance. When it came to schemes, who could outplay them?Eric grinned. "You said that you don't know anything, but you seem to understand quite clearly, don't you?"-The people from the Combat Department had al
