Brook abruptly stood up from the lawn and burst into frustration. Sylvia had completely disrupted his plans, and he couldn't decline without facing dire consequences."Argh!" he shouted in exasperation. "Why is my life so miserable?"The service staff of the Williams family regarded him with bewilderment.After taking a deep breath, he promptly dialed Misty. "M-Misty... Um... I have prior commitments later, so I'm afraid our plans for today need to be... canceled.""You scoundrel!" Misty snarled. "Are you trying to make fun of me? Don't you dare show your face again!"Hearing Misty's outburst, he quickly moved the phone away from his ear. By the time he wanted to explain, she had already hung up.Brook sighed bitterly. "Sylvia, my dear sister, I'm sacrificing my own happiness for you."With that, he retrieved his phone and instructed his associates to scour the city for Eric.-Eric's phone was powered off. He pounded the sandbag with powerful punches, releasing his frustratio

The coach stood up, utterly shocked. Eric's punches packed incredible power, and his precision was spot-on.But in boxing, it wasn't just about throwing punches—you also needed to take them. The vital skills were dodging the opponent's blows and seizing openings for counterattacks.After assessing Eric's dodging skills, the coach approached Big Sis and asked, "Big Sis, where did you find such a strong fighter?"Big Sis glanced at him and inquired, "Can he fight?""He can! He's really good!" the coach replied. "He lacks a bit of experience, but he might even take on Tiger's Muay Thai fighters with some training and practice!"Big Sis remained composed. "We don't need to rush into that. We'll plan it later. Let him have a few matches first."-At that moment, Eric had no clue that Brook and the others were frantically searching for him. His phone was off, leaving no clues in the city. Finding him seemed as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack."Sylvia, where do you usual

Big Sis was stunned. In Salt City, no one dared to challenge the wealthy Williams family, especially when Brook himself was a renowned figure in the criminal underworld, respected by all.Seeing Big Sis here, Brook could guess what was happening. "Big Sis, did you bring Eric for these underground fights?"Big Sis smiled sadly. "Brook, I initially opposed it, but Eric insisted on fighting. I made a mistake, and I apologize to both of you."Brook looked at Sylvia, seeking guidance.Sylvia's expression was icy. "If he wants to fight, let him. Brook, arrange for some of our best fighters to go against him."Brook inwardly fretted. If Eric got hurt, would he be blamed?"If he gets injured, I won't blame you. Send our best fighters. He needs to realize there are always stronger opponents. If he gets hurt, he should quit," she added.Brook sighed. After discussing with Big Sis and having her ask Eric if he still wanted to fight, he organized his top fighters.When Big Sis returned to

Eric's punches were swift, accurate, and mighty. His movements mirrored those of a seasoned boxer with decades of training.What made it even scarier was his unconventional fighting style, mixing elements from different martial arts. This made it nearly impossible for his opponents to defend themselves.Following a series of combinations, Eric knocked out Brook's fighter.A hushed pause followed, broken by a burst of applause.Standing in the audience, Brook gazed at Sylvia in astonishment and asked, "Sylvia, when did Eric become this formidable?"Brook couldn't forget that Sylvia had disclosed that Eric had only commenced martial arts training after their marriage, just three months ago. Yet, here he was, performing at such a high level.Sylvia chuckled softly. "Our Master has great expectations for him. He believes that with just a little more effort, Eric could become a martial arts master."Brook was dumbfounded. There were only a few martial arts masters in the entire count

After all, Eric's pride would not allow that to happen.Sylvia said sternly, "Eric, don't forget the agreement we signed when we got married! Are you sure the money you've earned is enough to compensate me?""You!" Eric was furious. He never expected Sylvia to use that to threaten him."You lied to me first! How can you be so unreasonable?" "You have to return," Sylvia said as she turned to Eric. "First, it was David exploiting you, and now it's my turn. Prepare yourself to work for me for the rest of your life."With those words, Sylvia departed, leaving Eric seething with anger.Big Sis chimed in. "Eric, why not consider going back for now? You both should sit down and have a conversation. There's no need to escalate tensions. Besides, she's the heiress of the Williams, renowned as the most beautiful woman in Salt City. I'm quite envious of you."Eric sighed. He wasn't eager to return.'What's the big deal if she's good-looking? Does being beautiful give her the right to do

When they arrived at the Rosewood Estate, Brook dropped off Eric and briefly greeted Sylvia before leaving swiftly. He did not want to get involved in their disputes."Come here!" Sylvia called out coldly as Eric tried to head to his room."What is it?" Eric asked, his expression far from pleasant. Sylvia frowned. "If you have any complaints, spit them out!""Complaints?" Eric sneered. "You're the CEO of Williams Corp., the Ms. Williams of Salt City. I'm just a kid from the countryside. How could I dare to have any complaints?"Sylvia was left without words, feeling Eric's anger in his voice. Yet, she hadn't intended to conceal her identity from him, which led to the situation they were now dealing with."Can you listen to my explanation?" Sylvia said.She patiently tried to clarify things with Eric. Luckily, Eric didn't react like a child plugging his ears and refusing to listen. Instead, he nodded, encouraging Sylvia to go on."Yes, I've been hiding something from you, but i

Eric went straight to the training center for a full day of training.Sylvia felt disappointed without the breakfast Eric used to make.Seeing his little sister arriving at work alone, Sylvester understood that things hadn't improved. He asked, "Vee, still no solution?"Sylvia shook her head. "I'm still trying. He's stubborn, and it's tough to reach him. I might have hit a dead end."Sylvester suggested, "How about talking to Uncle Irvin? You two have a good relationship." Sylvia was willing to give it a try and headed to Sonnex Corp.After Sylvia informed him, Irvin was also uncertain. "I always said you're full of plans! Eric is stubborn! I can't guarantee success, but I'll help!"Irvin was unhappy, wondering why Sylvia had complicated such a simple matter. She came for his help after upsetting Eric.He called Eric, but there was no answer. What he didn't know was that Eric considered him one of the people who had deceived him. Eric had called Irvin once to verify Sylvia's i

At Williams Corp., Sylvester was chatting with Lucas.Sylvester smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, Lucas. It's not that my little sister didn't want to accept your flowers, but she's already married."He understood Lucas's intentions. A bouquet of roses had already conveyed everything."What?" Lucas exclaimed. "Vee's married? Sylvester, you're messing with me, right? How could your family not have publicly announced such a significant event?"Sylvia was the cherished gem of the Williams family, receiving abundant love and attention from her kin. If she had married, the Williams would have surely marked the occasion with a grand celebration, promptly informing families like the Pettersons.Today, Lucas stood at the entrance of Williams Corp. with a bouquet, hoping to make a favorable impression on Sylvia. However, he had never anticipated hearing such news.Sylvester smiled and said, "It happened three months ago, Lucas. Let's not inquire further."Lucas sighed regretfully. "I wonder w
