Chapter 1444
At Westlake Hotel.Eric and Sylvia had just returned from dinner.Their efforts in Westlake City had yielded some preliminary results.If the Pentra family remained inactive for a few more days, they planned to return to Salt City.It had been about ten days since they left, and the couple missed Yvette dearly.Back in Salt City, they made it a ritual to embrace Yvette every evening after work.Sylvia had just finished a video call with Amelia. While being away from home, this was the only way they could see Yvette from afar.After ending the call, Sylvia stretched lazily, her figure becoming increasingly alluring.Eric swallowed hard, thinking of something to say, when the phone in the living room rang.Sylvia teased, "Could it be room service? A beautiful lady at the door? Eric, did you ever order such a service when you were alone outside? Enduring the long nights must have been tough, right? I bet you didn't believe me…"Eric rolled his eyes.He noticed his wife was beco

Soon, John brought a silver needle case over. Seeing Bryce, he was also greatly startled. "Mr. Johnson, did you kill him?!"That's how it appeared to John. Otherwise, why would Bryce be there?He admired Eric and Sylvia even more now—one had killed the young heir of the Pentra family, and the other had killed the head of the Pentra family.They were peerless ruthless individuals, but he liked such ruthlessness.Mark and Bryce were both dead, so the heavy burden pressing down on the Westlake distributors' heads was completely lifted. From now on, they didn't need not fear the Pentra family.'Serves them right!' John's heart was already setting off fireworks. Such a good thing had to be properly celebrated!Eric glanced at John and said, "He came to us on his own. I don't know what happened. When I saw him downstairs, he was like this."As he spoke, he opened the silver needle case and began treating Bryce's injuries.Although Bryce was at death's door, Eric wasn't fazed. At wors
Chapter 1446
Bryce recounted the events with a certain eloquence. The revelation concerning the death of Mark and Sylvia's role as merely a catalyst, with the true perpetrator being Martha, left Eric dumbfounded. He had sensed that something was amiss—the reason Bryce hadn't immediately sought retaliation was precisely this revelation.Eric sighed deeply, contemplating the unpredictable nature of life. Who could have foreseen that Bryce, once at the pinnacle of his power, would overnight become this wretched figure?How could one swallow the bitter pill of being betrayed by those closest to them?"The intelligence reports suggest that your family boasts two legends: yourself and your younger brother, Larry," Eric remarked.Bryce's eyes widened in surprise."You knew about that?" he exclaimed, considering the possibility that Eric might also hail from an aristocratic family. After all, among the aristocratic families he was familiar with, there was one surnamed Hernandez—a name with significa
Chapter 1447
These were the things Eric wanted to know."The Hernandez family is just like our Pentra family," Bryce said. "This Hernandez family is located in the Lazzla area. Judging by your appearance, you're probably not from the aristocratic Hernandez family. As for the Montgomerys and Hernandezes in King City, I've heard of them. However, I'm not too clear about the relationship between the two Hernandez families."Although there are connections between aristocratic families, it's not too common. Simply put, everyone's strength is about the same, and each minds their own business. No one interferes with anyone else."If I can survive and you want to meet someone from the aristocratic Hernandez family, I can introduce you!"Eric shook his head. He wasn't interested in the aristocratic Hernandez family. If he wasn't interested in the Hernandez family in King City, why would he be interested in the aristocratic one?"Rest well," Eric said. "With two broken ribs, you need to rest for a while

Bryce was equally troubled. He knew Larry and Martha would target the Innova Group, but it was already early morning!All he could do was wait patiently."What do we do next?" Sylvia asked. "We can't just leave him here to recover forever, can we? Besides, Bryce is quite dangerous. He's only using us for now. Once he's healed and the obstacles from the Pentra family are removed, I believe he'll turn against us."At this, Eric chuckled. "They're all doomed to fail. If Larry and Martha dare to act, we'll deal with them first, then come back for Bryce. He can't escape."-In the afternoon, several major distributors invited Eric, Sylvia, Matthew, Vince, and others to dine.They chose the most upscale venue in Westlake City.Regardless of the quality of the food, the upscale setting was meant to demonstrate sincerity.Their days had improved. Not only the top five distributors but also the smaller ones, were upgrading their vehicles.Previously, like John and the others, they had
Chapter 1449
Eric surveyed the scene ahead, where two cars blocked the road completely, causing a halt in their progress. He chuckled and turned to Matthew, saying, "You were right. They're asking for trouble. Looks like it's the Larry, just as Bryce mentioned!"Eric opened the car door with a smirk, and Sylvia followed suit. After all, she was a quite formidable grandmaster.Vince and a few others from the Combat Department also disembarked from the vehicle. They were still in Westlake City, waiting for the Pentra family. Tonight, they were invited to dine by the distributors, and even they were included, considering they had helped them fend off the Pentra family before.On the opposite side, their counterparts alighted as well.Larry held a cigar in his mouth, taking a deep drag before exhaling slowly. His gaze fixed on Eric with a faint smile.However, in the next moment, his smile vanished completely. Despite the dim lighting, he recognized Eric, the man who had killed a transcendent Cate
Chapter 1450
Larry rolled on the ground several times, spitting out a mouthful of blood before scrambling to his feet and fleeing.If he knew from the start Eric was the one who had killed the transcendent Catellonian shadow warrior, he probably wouldn't have dared to act. Even if he did, he would have planned it meticulously, not recklessly barging in with his men as he did tonight.Matthew pushed back a Pentra grandmater and prepared to pursue Larry."Let him go," Eric shouted. "Don't chase him. He can only go back to the Pentra family—nowhere else!"Matthew halted, beginning to clean up the aftermath. With Larry fleeing, the rest had no courage left. Those who could escape had already fled, and those caught were detained.Eric said, "Matthew, go to the hotel and bring Bryce here. The rest of you, come with me to the Pentra family. Tonight, we settle this!""Yes!" Matthew promptly turned back.At that moment, Ron's phone rang. Oblivious to the chaos outside due to his drunken state, he was

The Pentras' cunning maneuver led Lora into the car, and they rendered her unconscious.In response to Lora's questions, Martha delivered a resounding slap, causing tears to stream down Lora's face."I haven't asked you yet, have I?" Martha coldly remarked. "What's your relationship with the Innova Group? And what about Eric and Sylvia? Let me guess, you're Eric's woman, aren't you?"Lora gritted her teeth. She had hoped for this, yet Eric never paid her any attention. She had come to Westlake City to find Eric. Upon reflection, she believed that love required boldness—one shouldn't retreat just because someone else was married.There was no logic in that.Morality? Compared to love, morality meant nothing. Courageously pursuing love should be praised.Little did she expect that upon arriving in Westlake City, before even meeting Eric or Sylvia's people, she would be knocked unconscious and brought to this unfamiliar place. She thought she might die here.She thought she might d
