Chapter 414
After landing a few hard blows on Gary, David approached Eric, almost addressing him by his full name. However, considering Eric's influential position in the underworld, he quickly changed his approach and said, "Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams, please forgive us."Gary is just my friend, and I haven't been strict enough with him. That's why he acted so recklessly in front of you. My apologies, Mr. Johnson."Gary was shocked. Did David just refer to Eric as Mr. Johnson? Did Eric hold such a high status in Salt City's underworld?David promptly opened three beer bottles, saying, "Mr. Johnson, as a gesture of my sincerity, I'll start by drinking three bottles myself!"He quickly finished all three bottles.Seeing that Eric hadn't spoken yet, David smiled and continued. "Everyone, enjoy the night. I'll cover the expenses here!"David looked at Eric. "Mr. Johnson, if everything is fine, should I take him away now?"Finally, Eric nodded.David breathed a sigh of relief and quickly escort

Even Tiger had to show respect to the Williams family, not to mention David.Gary was shocked by this revelation—he never expected Sylvia to have such a background. Finally, he understood why David called Eric "Mr. Johnson".Gary sighed and exclaimed, "I never thought she was the heiress of the Williams family, and I could never have imagined Eric ending up with such a wealthy and beautiful woman."David wasn't pleased with Eric, but he couldn't help but retort, "So, you think Eric only achieved his current status because of the Williams family?"Gary quickly nodded, refusing to believe that Eric had reached his current position in Salt City's underworld without external assistance.David sneered. "He earned his current status with his own efforts. Even Tiger addresses him as Mr. Johnson. Would Tiger use that title if it were solely due to his connection with the Williams family?"He's a true rags-to-riches success story! Don't cross paths with him in the future, or I can't guara

The Williams family members fixed their gaze on Sylvia, perplexed by her statement. Connor was sick? The way she said it didn't sit right.Realizing her words were off, Sylvia said, "Isn't that why Connor is seeking Eric?"Henry pursed his lips and addressed his son, "Connor, even though Brook is involved in shady dealings, we still have principles."Eric can help you, but you must promise to stay out of trouble in the future. Otherwise, it might be better not to save you!"Amelia chimed in. "Once you're healed, you must marry someone who can keep you in line."The couple was most worried about Connor. Maybe they could use this chance to pressure him into getting his act together.Connor scratched his head and glanced at Eric, who remained silent. Connor often frequented places full of temptations, so everyone in the family was concerned about him. The Williams family knew what was going on when he sought Eric's help.After some thought, he nodded and said, "I promise, but I'll

While Eric was speaking, his phone rang. It was a call from Gavin, so Eric answered with a simple "Hello."Gavin got straight to the point, "Eric, can you find out if Williams Corp. is hiring?"Petterson Corp. had gone under, and Gavin had received some money during the liquidation, though not a lot. The compensation the company owned would remain unpaid because Frederick and Lucas were gone, and Kenneth's whereabouts were unknown.Eric hesitated, but Sylvia chimed in. "He can apply for a job there. If he's qualified, he can join Williams Corp."The issues with Eric's family had been resolved, and Sylvia didn't hold as much grudge against Gavin. Although he had spread rumors about them in the past, Sylvia was forgiving by nature. If Eric's family had changed their ways, helping them would be no big deal.Eric passed this message to Gavin, who was grateful. Gavin had his eyes set on Williams Corp. and Sonnex Corp. Since Eric was part of the Williams family, he thought getting into

After visiting a few neighborhoods, Hank had a general idea in mind.Eric initially wanted Hank to stay in Salt City overnight, but Hank was eager to return, gather the villagers, and hold a meeting.Eric returned to the Williams residence after seeing Hank off at the train station.-Seraphine was talking and laughing with another woman there."Eric!" She waved at him. "Come over, and let me introduce you to my good friend, Jessica, from the Watson family in King City!"Seraphine didn't think too much about it. With his talents and as Orion's apprentice, she believed Eric would likely develop his career in King City. Besides, Eric would likely interact with other prominent families' heirs and heiresses in King City in the future. As such, getting to know each other now seemed like a good idea.Eric politely nodded at Jessica."Where's Sylvia?" he asked.Sylvia was his main concern—nothing was more important than her. It had only been half a day, but he missed her immensely.

Eric may love Sylvia deeply, but what about their future? The future was uncertain, after all.Eric's heart ached as he declared, "I can't promise eternal love, but as long as I'm alive, my love for you will remain unchanged."Sylvia was moved and had faith in Eric. They had faced the toughest times together, and this was the essence of love. Shared experiences outweighed words. The challenges they had conquered hand in hand were unique and formed the bedrock of their love.-Eric and Sylvia had hoped for peaceful days ahead, but reality had other plans. Early one morning, Eric's phone rang. It was Grace.Eric picked up immediately. "Mom.""Eric! Come to King City right away. Your mentor is in trouble!" Grace sounded anxious.Eric was taken aback. He didn't have many close friends, and Orion was like family. Without any delay, he quickly booked a flight to King City. The thought that Orion might be in trouble hadn't even crossed his mind.Grace informed him that Orion had unexp

Eric felt Orion's pulse remaining steady, yet he sensed a subtle but unmistakable weakening. This presented an unsettling situation with no accompanying symptoms.Observing Eric's reaction, an elderly holistic physician sighed. "This pulse is rare. If it continues, I fear... he won't last much longer."The onlookers were stunned. They had expected Orion to have a few years left, but it had only been a few days since his last check-up.The elderly physician inquired, "Did your mentor administer the sixth Blossom Needling treatment?" This was the sole explanation for Orion's deteriorating pulse.Eric shook his head, explaining, "I administered the sixth Blossom Needling treatment to help Master preserve his inner energy.""This is perplexing…"The elderly physicians frowned, unable to find any other signs to explain Orion's condition."First of all, thank you for your assistance," Eric said, addressing the crowd. He turned to a person in uniform, requesting, "Please investigate wh

"What if he left the needle inside his head?" Eric's words prompted a swift reaction from an elderly holistic physician.He reached out to Orion's head and withdrew his hand in shock, exclaiming, "There is indeed a silver needle on Hol. Thornfield's head! But why would this silver needle cause such symptoms?!""Bastard!" Before Eric could respond, Grace angrily shouted, "Come in!"In response, several suited men entered the room.Grace coldly ordered, "Fetch Hol. Silver here! If he resists, break his limbs and bring him!"Grace showed no mercy, even when facing the veteran holistic physician of King City. After all, Astrid was under heavy suspicion.As the men departed, the room fell into an eerie silence.Eric remained silent, waiting for Astrid's arrival for questioning.An elderly holistic physician asked, "You know the issue. Why haven't you begun saving him? Time is of the essence!"He was aware of the urgency, as were the others. However, their inaction raised suspicions
