Chapter 1682
A few days later, Michael returned. Throughout the year, he rarely came back. His wounds had fully healed, though he was still not ready for combat. Despite this, his mobility was no longer affected.This visit was primarily to see Shadow. No matter what had transpired, they were still brothers. Unfortunately, Shadow made a fatal error, betraying Eric in the end, which led to his dire fate. Considering all the gathered information, Shadow was certainly doomed.Michael first arrived in Salt City, and the matter of seeing Shadow had to be broached with Eric. -As soon as Michael boarded the plane, he mentioned the situation abroad. "I thought the three major manufacturers would ease off, but I didn’t expect new actions against our chip industry. Are they serious?"Frontier Tech had many advantages, foremost among them being ample funding and a well-established system. Bringing down Frontier Tech was no easy task.Eric chuckled. "Cornered dogs will leap over walls. By now, they'l

Shadow even taunted Michael, "You backstabbing traitor! Haven't the three giants treated you well? Yet you aid the Innova Group against them! You're a disgrace, and to think I considered you my brother!"Michael remained unperturbed by these accusations. He responded calmly. "We have different beliefs and cannot work together. This is the place I was born and raised. No matter how successful I become, I cannot stand idly by while someone tries to strangle it."You speak of loyalty and righteousness, but all you did was engage in criminal activities, which ultimately led you down a path of no return."You thought you're invincible, that no one could stop you. But remember, no matter how powerful you believe you are, there is always someone stronger. Wasn't your leader supposed to be formidable? What happened to him?"Didn't he die at Eric's hands?"Though it was Stealthbane who killed the leader of the Crimson Order, the siblings knew he died because of Eric.At the mention of Eri

Extravagant or not, the grandeur of the arrangement had to be displayed. The Rogers family needed to make sure Eric understood their deep respect for him.Several members of the Rogers family joined the table, including those responsible for reporting the cleanup results to Eric.Brent smiled as he spoke. "Mr. Johnson, you probably know that our Rogers family had connections with the Crimson Order for a long time, but we severed those ties quite some time ago."Combining our understanding of the Crimson Order with the recent cleanup efforts over the past few months, we've discovered some things. After you've had your meal and rested for a couple of days, we can review everything in detail."Eric waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Mr. Rogers, there's no need to wait. Let's start after the meal. I have many matters waiting for me back in Phoenix City, and I can't stay here for long."Brent nodded repeatedly, understanding that a person like Eric was undoubtedly very busy. Even du

After a thorough review, Eric didn’t find any confidential information about the three major international firms, which was a slight disappointment. As for the other materials, he wasn’t particularly interested. He instructed Brent to have the data organized and sent to King City.With so much content, it could be reviewed at leisure later.Brent gestured toward the piles of gold and jewels. "Mr. Johnson, should these also be sent to King City? I think sending them to Salt City would suffice."From Brent's perspective, since Eric had defeated the Crimson Order, these riches naturally belonged to him.Eric waved his hand dismissively. "I’ll give you a contact number. Once packed, send these items to King City and coordinate with this person to receive them."Brent nodded without further comment. The remaining materials also needed to be organized into data and sent to King City. If the volume was too large, air freight would be an option. Otherwise, it could be transferred via the

After conversing with Michael for quite a while, Eric finally excused himself and left. Descending the stairs, he noticed the homeless man still lying on the ground. Curiosity piqued, Eric crouched beside him, saying, "Hey, wake up!"The man opened his eyes, his expression one of curiosity upon seeing Eric.Eric smiled and asked, "Do you want to return to Naturia? The place where you were born?"The homeless man's eyes showed no spark at this mention. Eric could see clearly that this man had no desire to return. Why, then, were there people back home saying they wanted to bring him back? A mere ploy?The homeless man shook his head. "Why go back? What's the point?"Eric didn't need to hear more—the answer was already evident in the man's eyes. Whatever his qualifications or talents might be, they were irrelevant. His life was now bound to Faustaria. His birth, life, illness, and death were all matters of Faustaria.-As Eric departed, the Rogers family transported the first

Eric had another bout with Donovan, but neither Pierce nor Ruth could watch. Donovan wouldn't allow it.-Half an hour later, Eric left King City.Pierce couldn't contain his curiosity. "Master, who won between you and Eric?"Donovan beamed. "The young are truly remarkable!"Ruth interjected with exasperation, "Grand Master, just tell us who won! Master and I are dying to know."From Donovan's admiring words, it was clear that Eric was exceptionally strong. But since it was a sparring match, there must have been a winner and a loser."He won, by half a move!" Donovan sighed. "Just that half move… I couldn't counter it. Even more astonishing is his age—if I’m not mistaken, he should only be 33. In Naturia's hundred-year history, no one at his age has achieved such prowess in martial arts."He said gravely, "Pierce, Eric is an extraordinary talent. You must hold onto him, but also beware—if he ever decides to do something harmful, not even you or I can stop him!"Fortunately, he

Robert came to Eric's office for coffee, mainly because this month’s salary was still nowhere in sight. Donald had diverted all the money, so where would the funds come from?Eric smiled. "I've already informed the bank. The day after tomorrow, everyone will receive their salaries."Robert was grateful and wrote another promissory note for Eric. This small amount of money meant nothing to Eric.Not long after Robert left, Sylvia arrived.She sat on Eric's lap and sighed, "My mother keeps urging us to have a son. Why isn’t there any sign of a baby yet?"Now, she wanted a second child.The Innova Group’s plans were almost complete, so it was time to consider these matters. Having both a son and a daughter was the mark of a true winner.She also wanted a son.Didn’t Eric want one too?He hugged Sylvia. "Take it slow. We’re not that old, and we can’t force these things."Sylvia nodded repeatedly—she just wanted to talk to Eric about it.With someone at home to help with Yvette,

Through Lora's introduction, Eric and Sylvia learned that the foreign man's name was Jason Bing, who had settled in the country for many years.Jason couldn't help but steal several glances at Sylvia. There was no way around it—Sylvia was a stunning woman, captivating in any setting.Over the past few years, she had become even more charming, her beauty and figure exceptional. Her fair skin had a rosy tint, making her even more enticing.Even in Sylvia's presence, someone as elegant and bookish as Lora paled in comparison.Eric was delighted! It didn’t matter to him whether Jason was a foreigner or not. As long as he was male, that was good enough. In fact, Eric wouldn’t even mind if he was a woman. He even wondered if Ruth might announce she had a boyfriend too.Seeing the joy in Eric's eyes, Lora felt a bit downhearted. Was she really that unlikable to Eric?During their conversation, Jason asked Eric and Sylvia what they did for a living.Eric didn't hide anything. "I am the
