"Isn't it just gone?" Eric tucked away the silver needles.Lora sighed. "Ah, wouldn't it be great if these scars hadn't healed yet? Then I could come to the Innova Group every day."Eric's face darkened. "What are you thinking? I suspect when you get home, you'll intentionally cut yourself and then come to me for treatment again?"Lora smiled. She hadn't thought of that!But it seemed like a solution, didn't it? She didn't even know when she would see Eric again after leaving this time. If it came to it, she'd just have to brazenly show up again.-At the Innova Group's security room.Jacob sat with his legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. "Want to go in? There's no way! Don't think I don't know you're not from the Innova Group. I know better than anyone which cars come in and out every day!"There's no record of your license plates in the system, so get lost!"'This fella is quite arrogant too.'Roger's face turned iron blue. He nodded to the person beside h

Eric approached the coffee machine and leisurely brewed a cup of coffee.This scene left Roger and others dumbfounded. The force behind that slap was formidable, definitely not something an ordinary person could muster. Roger knew Eric must be versed in martial arts, with profound expertise.The fact that the Innova Group had such a talented individual didn't surprise Roger. In his view, Eric was a Hernandez, and it was only natural for him to be formidable.However, he couldn't fathom why Eric remained so composed. If Eric lacked skill, Roger would have subdued him immediately. Now, it seemed Eric had some tricks up his sleeve, appearing more skilled than Roco at least.With this in mind, he chuckled. "Eric, we're both from the Hernandez family in Lazzla. I'm Roger Hernandez, technically your elder—"Eric took a sip of coffee, glanced at Roger, and interjected, "I don't care about your surname or your origins."Pointing at the office door, he continued. "That door costs 3,000 do

Actually, this matter could be significant or trivial. Compensating Eric would resolve the issue.However, Roger's group could only come up with 1,000 dollars.They could only feel aggrieved.The lead detective had a bit of a headache. Waving his hand, he said, "Take them away and find out who's responsible for this mess. They won't be running around for three to five years."He felt somewhat troubled.The Innova Group was a priority in Salt City. Now, Eric's office door was smashed—it was their negligence. If Eric complained, they would inevitably face consequences.The Hernandezes wanted to resist, but Roger shook his head at them. If they dared to resist, things would escalate beyond a mere monetary settlement.As Roger was taken away, the lead detective hurriedly approached Eric. "Mr. Johnson, we apologize—"Eric waved his hand, saying, "No blame on you. I could handle them myself, but it's better to go through legal channels and abide by the law."The detective forced a s

Roger's arrest brought immense relief to Roco. He never expected Roger and his group to follow in his footsteps. But who could blame him?With Roger captured it was only reasonable that Roco would be blamed too. With everyone detained, there was no finger-pointing, as they were all in the same boat.Roco reached out to the Hernandez family and secured some money to bail out Roger and his companions. He felt fortunate not to have accompanied them to the Innova Group.However, their group was now missing one person, the one who had kicked down the door.Money had to be paid, and time had to be served. Civil compensation and criminal punishment did not conflict.Suppressing a smirk, Roco remarked, "Uncle Roger, didn't I warn you about the deep waters of Salt City? By the way, how did you all get caught?"Initially, he thought Roger would easily evade capture, but he was surprised to find them all detained, just like him.Roger's expression darkened. Naturally, the Hernandez family

With that said, the receptionist left.Roger thought about it and found it reasonable. After all, Eric was the founder and CIO of the Innova Group. It was perfectly reasonable for him to leave work at 7:00 or 8:00 p.m., let alone 11:00 p.m. or 12:0o a.m.However, he waited until after 8:00 p.m.!They couldn't understand Eric didn't need to pass through the lobby since he could directly go to the underground parking lot after work.It was past 9:00 p.m.Roger patted the person next to him. "Let's go! It's already 9:00 p.m., and we're starving to death!"Even the most powerful expert needed to eat.Moreover, these people hadn't eaten lunch, and their stomachs had been growling for a long time.The person next to him looked embarrassed. "Bro, w-we're out of money! All the remaining money was used for bail! We're broke!""Call Roco! He must still have money on him!" Roger said.But Roco's phone couldn't be reached.Roger's face looked worse than if he had eaten shit. It was as i

Upon hearing the news, Roco first froze, then chuckled."So, Uncle Roger has been caught twice already! Looks like there might be a third time! I warned them that Salt City's waters run deep, but they just wouldn't listen. Can't blame me, can you?"-The following morning, Roger and his companions were released.They were rough, stalwart men, yet they were in tears at the police station, crying from hunger.The police felt a bit uncomfortable witnessing their pitiful state.'Could they really have been starved like this?'When the cheese pies were brought out, they really scrambled for them!Witnessing this scene, the police finally confirmed their speculation. Still, they had to compensate where due and pay fines.Roco escorted them out, saying, "Uncle Roger, let's just leave it at that. Let more capable folks from the family come over. The waters here are too treacherous for us to handle!"Roger had suffered a setback twice already. He would likely visit the Innova Group a

Roger gritted his teeth. "Damn it! I'll take you on!"Clutching his fists, he resolved to take down Eric first, no matter what.Yet, before his fist could even swing out, Eric's fist was faster, slamming into his chest and sending him flying out of the office.The door he had just fixed shattered into pieces upon impact.Stunned, he glanced at Eric, his vision blurred, and then he passed out.When he regained consciousness, he found himself in the police station again.But this time, things were different. He was handcuffed, facing two stern-faced police officers.One of them stared at him. "Hernandez, why do you keep causing trouble for the Innova Group repeatedly? Don't you know the company's status in Salt City?"Both of them looked displeased.As public servants, their salaries were funded by the Salt City government, and a portion of that income came from the Innova Group's taxes.By causing trouble for the Innova Group, weren't they obstructing their source of income?

Hunter's voice echoed. "Roco, are you with Roger? What's going on? Why are everyone's phones unreachable?""Oh?" Roco felt awkward. "Um, Uncle Hunter, Uncle Roger... They got arrested again! This time it seems serious. I heard they might be sentenced because they got into a fight!"Uncle Hunter, maybe... you shouldn't come? The waters in Salt City are treacherous, I have no idea how Uncle Roger got caught!" He was considering leaving this place of turmoil behind.As for Roger? It was better to let other members of the Hernandez family handle it. He didn't want to linger in this troublesome place any longer. Who knew what could go wrong?He certainly didn't fancy prison meals, mainly because they tasted awful.Hunter didn't say much and hung up.Roco sighed. "This is bad. Trouble keeps finding us. It seems Uncle Hunter is going to lead the team personally. I hope they don't get into trouble again here."He wasn't very optimistic about it.-At the Innova Group.Sylvia was indi
