Chapter 1495
'Isn't it easy to cause misunderstandings?'He glanced at Lora, noticing that the scar on her face had healed quite well—it was barely visible now.Things seemed to be settling down, and there wasn't much for them to talk about.Yet, Lora always found a topic. "Did you notice? We seem to have some sort of Catellonian school in Salt City, and it's quite mysterious. No one except Catellonians are allowed inside!"That caught Eric's interest. "Oh, really?""What's the deal with that? As far as the eye can see, this is Naturia's territory. They build a school on our land and won't let our people in?"It seemed rather absurd to him.Many schools didn't allow random members of society inside, but shouldn't educators and teachers be exceptions? No one except Catellonians?They were treating the school as Catellon's territory? What kind of logic was that?Lora nodded. "That's how it is. I heard it from the principal. They even use their own textbooks, and the name they chose is quite

Lora fancied herself fearless. She believed in the triumph of justice over evil, that light would dispel darkness. But this was always the most optimistic perspective.Regardless of the era or circumstances, darkness and light, justice and evil coexisted— neither could be absent. When old evils vanished, new ones inevitably arose, just as dawn dispelled darkness, only for darkness to return.Lora didn't know how to respond.Was she afraid? Undoubtedly.Someone as formidable as Eric still had troublemakers seeking him out, proving they were truly wicked. But to say she wouldn't dare approach Eric? That would be untrue.Yet, Lora dared not say that.Sylvia smiled. "I know what fascinates you about Eric. Women admire the strong, just as beauties admire heroes. Actually, this is understandable, but the price to pay, I imagine, is not something an ordinary person can bear."The Pentras slashed your face and neck back then. Perhaps you see it as a severe injury, but let me tell you: y

Glancing at his phone, Eric remarked, "Regarding that incident at the Catellonian school, I had the Lockes take a look. They came back with some feedback. There's definitely something off about that school."As a school, having just a dozen students at dismissal isn't typical, even for a prestigious institution."He knew the issue was significant. The Catellonian school occupied a sizable area, yet having only a few students was abnormal.After scrutinizing for a while, Eric sent the pictures to Robert. They depicted teachers from the Catellonian school. Eric instructed Robert to investigate the teachers' backgrounds. If they could find information on the students and their parents, it would be even better.Letting out a sigh, Eric leaned back in his seat.Sylvia glanced at him. "Is the situation dire?"Eric shook his head. "It's not that I find the situation dire. It's just that over these past few years, we've encountered too many incidents. It feels exhausting, a sense of... w

Upon arriving at the company, Sylvia attended to some business matters before promptly entering Eric's office."Come with me for a moment," she said.Eric was puzzled but didn't ask, following behind her.Exiting the premises of the Innova Group, several cars trailed behind them."Where are we headed?" Eric asked.Sylvia glanced at him."You'll find out soon enough," she replied cryptically.The air was filled with a sense of intrigue.Before long, Sylvia led a group, including Eric, to Salt City's largest luxury car market. They were accompanied by the Locke brothers.Eric understood—Sylvia had brought him there to purchase a car."With so many cars at home, do we really need to buy another one?" Eric couldn't help but feel it was excessive.Just one trip there could cost a fortune!The perspective remained unchanged.Sylvia smiled. "What do men love if not cars? Well, and beautiful women, but I can't fulfill that part for you. However, I can buy you a car."All the cars

Initially, Eric and Sylvia paid no heed to those Catellonians.Little did they anticipate the Catellonians to stroll over, catching Eric's gaze fixated on the car before them. With a smirk, one of them addressed their salesperson, "We'll take this car! Just this one."Eric merely glanced at it casually. Cars worth a couple hundred thousand didn't catch his eye anymore. Although he might have a slight fondness for it, the price was too low. Besides, there were more of these cars available. If this one got sold, he could always order another.Running his fingers over his nose, he exchanged a glance with Sylvia before shifting his attention to another car."How much for this one?" he asked, nodding toward the vehicle in front of them.The salesperson seemed somewhat numb by now. She felt this car wasn't quite up to Eric and Sylvia's standards. Nevertheless, she still answered, "This is the latest model of this brand, priced at 500,000 dollars. Because today..."She had intended to m

As they signed the contract, several Catellonians cast provocative glances at Eric.Eric, however, remained composed. He didn't know these Catellonians, but he couldn't help but wonder if they were targeting him specifically. Why else would they buy the same cars he showed interest in? Even the ones he had his eye on earlier were now sold.There must be some history between them for things to escalate to this point.He watched as the Catellonians signed the contract and made their payments.The process went smoothly.The Locke brothers were starting to get impatient, but Eric gestured for them to calm down. Smirking, he asked the salesperson, "Surely, your dealership has more than just these cars?""You're right, Mr. Johnson," the salesperson replied. "This is just our flagship store. We have another branch nearby with slightly pricier options. Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams, please follow me."This added a new layer of amusement.Matthew chuckled heartily and addressed the Catell
Chapter 1501
As Jacob bid farewell to the lawyer, he smiled and remarked, "Ms. Grook, when you go back, tell the folks at the Hernandez family that I'm right here at work. Tell them to come and confront me whenever they're free. They shouldn't underestimate me! If they're true experts, they'll come to confront me! Oh, and I owe you a dinner!"Jacob seemed addicted to getting punched. But then again, why bother with work when getting a beating meant a hefty sum in the bank?With Jacob seen off, Celine Grook headed to Eric's office.She knew Eric was the linchpin of this case. Although they had caused some financial losses to the Innova Group, the compensation was settled.As for the alleged kidnapping and assault? They hardly caused any substantial harm. At most, it was an attempt. The crucial point relied on Eric. If he didn't pursue the matter, everything would be relatively smooth.Celine's task was to handle Eric. Sitting down, she deliberately showcased her slender thighs, the black stocki

The aristocratic Hernandezes had clearly picked the wrong target. Those dispatched to Salt City repeatedly found themselves apprehended, much to their dismay.-Meanwhile, in another part of the city.Robert led his team to the Catellonian school. He intended to conduct a thorough search of the premises.As they presented the search warrant, the school's administrator sneered. "You have no authority to search our school!"His demeanor oozed arrogance.Searching the school? In his view, it was an impossible feat.These people were audacious! In their hearts, they had already regarded the school's grounds as Catellon's territory, much to their satisfaction. It was evident that they took pride in it.Despite not being their own country, they could carve out a domain there. If they operated for decades, even centuries, they could theoretically claim Salt City or even the entirety of Catellon as their own.This country and its people harbored an inherent aggression, almost as if it
