Brook wanted to find out where Eric had gone, so he grabbed his phone and dialed Eric's number.When Eric answered, Brook asked, "Eric, where are you? You know Sylvia's situation, and you agreed to her request for a divorce? I may not be an expert in relationships, but I know she needs you the most right now. What could be more important than her?"After a moment of reflection, Eric finally said, "Brook, I'm in Dortmund City. Please don't tell her for now."Brook was surprised by this revelation. Even though Eric didn't explain why he was in Dortmund City, Brook had a hunch."Please stay safe," Brook advised Eric since he didn't know what else to say.Sylvia and Eric deeply cared for each other. However, Lucas had been released on bail and had returned to Dortmund City, making it challenging to hold him accountable legally. If the Pettersons worked things out, Lucas would escape punishment.Still, the Williams family wouldn't let him off the hook.Dortmund City was the Petterson
Chapter 323
Eric's only concern was that the Pettersons might not send anyone into the ring as the fight continued. The Pettersons wouldn't face bankruptcy for another half month, so Eric wasn't in a hurry. However, he worried about Sylvia's well-being since the day he left.-Meanwhile, at the Williams residence.Brook ate heartily while the rest had little appetite. Even Henry and Godrick barely sipped their wine. Eric had not returned for a day."Why isn't anyone eating?" Brook asked casually. "Is there something wrong with tonight's meal?""Brook, how can you eat when Eric hasn't returned for a day? I didn't expect him to leave Sylvia like this," Connor said indignantly.When Eric disfigured his own face for Sylvia, he had thought their love was deep. But in just a few days, he had abandoned Sylvia.Brook looked at the rest of the family and asked, "Do you all really think this way?"Amelia finally spoke up. "We're not blaming Eric. Sylvia is right. He is Julius Hernandez's son and des

In the lounge.Tiger furrowed his brow briefly. He knew Eric had more strength than he was showing, recognizing Eric's usual fighting style.Eric typically observed his opponent's moves first and then exploited their weaknesses with counterattacks.Some in the audience thought about throwing water bottles at Eric due to his constant evasion, possibly influenced by the reputation Roland had given him. Still, they refrained from reckless actions on Roland's turf.Roland's daughter, Valerie Draco, stood next to him. "Dad, who is this masked person?" she asked.One reason Roland had agreed to cooperate with Eric was Valerie's safety. Having a family meant considering them in every decision, unlike Tiger."I don't know," Roland replied.Roland only knew Eric came from Salt City and had killed a Petterson boxer and nearly beaten Lucas to death. Eric's first name and face remained mysteries to Roland.During their conversation, the arena situation abruptly shifted."You're a fighter
Chapter 325
Although the voices were hushed, news of the incident reached the Pettersons.Frederick's face darkened, and he turned to Lucas, asking, "Did you orchestrate this?"Considering the circumstances, even he suspected foul play.Lucas appeared confused. "Dad, I had no idea! Roland set this up!"Frederick shifted his gaze to Roland, who seemed momentarily perplexed but then stood and urged, "Everyone, please remain calm."His words only exacerbated the chaos in the arena. What did "stay calm" mean? The disgruntled bet losers were far from satisfied."Are you trying to stir trouble in my arena?" Roland's face flushed with anger."Mr. Draco!" A voice protested. "You can't deny it! It's clear you prearranged this!"Roland glared at the accuser until they reluctantly sat down."Is there anyone here familiar with advanced martial arts?" Roland asked."I am," a man replied.Roland turned to him and asked, "At a martial arts' highest level, can a single punch penetrate through the chest

Tiger's driver parked the car in front of the hotel.Eric stepped out of the car and headed toward a nearby spot.Grace's bodyguard, who had been trailing behind, gave a small nod. However, he didn't anticipate Eric's sudden attack.Eric threw a punch at the bodyguard, who managed to block it with his fist and took a few steps back. He urgently shouted, "Sir! It's me!" Since he had never met Eric before, the bodyguard quickly clarified his identity.Eric raised an eyebrow, surprised that the bodyguard could withstand his powerful punch."Why didn't you go to King City to help Madam Montgomery?" he asked before turning away.The bodyguard hurriedly caught up and explained, "Sir, Madam Montgomery instructed me to protect you."Eric didn't say much, realizing this bodyguard wouldn't easily be dismissed. Having an expert around could be beneficial.Tiger was also perplexed by the bodyguard's skill and wondered why he suddenly appeared with Eric. The group now had an extra member.
Chapter 327
During that period, Sylvia had had a poor appetite, so Amelia was thrilled to see Sylvia actively seeking food now.Sylvia nodded and said, "Mom, I'm hungry."Unfortunately, the refrigerator didn't have much food, and the leftovers from the lunch had been tossed. There were some desserts, but Sylvia wasn't a fan.Amelia rushed to the living room and said, "Brook! Call the restaurant and order Sylvia's favorite dishes!"Brook promptly stood up and made the call. He was concerned Sylvia couldn't wait, so he offered to pick up the food himself.The gloomy mood in the Williams residence lightened considerably.Sylvia used to have a hearty appetite, but it had waned since her face was disfigured. Hence, her sudden desire to eat was a pleasant surprise."Great!" one of the experts remarked. "A positive mindset can aid recovery. Plus, it's essential to shed fewer tears."Sylvia nodded, determined not to lose weight before Eric's return in two weeks.-At Dortmund Grand Hotel.Rolan
Chapter 328
The scars on Eric's face were terrifying. Roland finally understood why Eric wore the mask now. Additionally, Eric's ability to defeat the top fighter of the Pettersons with just one punch revealed his ruthlessness.Valerie covered her mouth, clearly startled by Eric's appearance. It turned out Eric had a genuine reason to hide his face."Do you still want to see my face?" Eric asked Valerie.She quickly looked away. "Who'd want to see such an ugly face? Plus, scars can be treated. Dad, we have a skilled holistic physician in Dortmund City, right? Why not have him take a look?"Roland agreed, saying, "That's what I had in mind. I'll arrange for the holistic physician to see Mr. Johnson tomorrow morning."Initially, Eric wanted to decline but thought about some holistic physicians' unique skills and agreed in the end.As it was getting late, Roland and Valerie left. Roland said in the car, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. Are you scared now?"Valerie stuck out her ton

This was really adding insult to injury."Dad..." Lucas looked puzzled. "When I went to King City, I behaved well! I didn't harm any woman, and I certainly didn't have the courage to...""Hmph! You touched Sylvia Williams but not other women? Stop lying! Tell me, who did you upset in King City?"Frederick unfastened his belt as he scolded."Frederick!" A woman quickly held him back. "Lucas is in no condition. Do you want to hurt him?""He deserves it!" Frederick pointed at Lucas. "Without him, we wouldn't be in this mess!"He wanted to beat Lucas, but the Petersons managed to stop him.-Late at night.The Petersons had left the hospital, and Lucas was half awake. The ward was dimly lit."Lucas... you're still alive, huh?" A cold voice echoed."Who's there?" Lucas trembled. He tried to sit up, but moving hurt and made him grimace.He spotted someone wearing a Ghostface mask in a chair across his bed. It looked scarier in the dim light.Eric rose and leaned over Lucas' bed.
