The priest from the Celestial Sage Sanctum had a commanding presence, but he wasn't the one who had conducted Orion's funeral. They all knew they were highly esteemed individuals, so their identity didn't matter much. After a brief discussion, they quickly set the wedding date for six months later.However, Brook wasn't pleased with the date. He impatiently asked, "Can't we speed things up a bit?""Be patient!" Henry scolded Brook with a stern look, then turned to Father Preston from the Celestial Sage Sanctum with a cheerful smile. "Father Preston, if there are any recent renovation needs at the sanctum, please let us know."He knew they weren't particularly interested in money. In the past, when they hired people to choose a date for the Williams residence's construction, they funded the repair of the church.Father Preston waved his hand. "Money will do. It simplifies the process."Even though it was the same for Henry, providing money saved a lot of trouble. He offered them 30

Felicia had the task of managing the entire villa, and it was quite a day's work. Luckily, the villa was spacious, and Felicia also lived there, so it wasn't troublesome.Eric walked up to the table and picked up the business cards. He glanced at them before setting them aside. The cards belonged to CEOs of listed companies and members of prominent families in King City.He couldn't even tell if these people were here for a visit or genuinely seeking medical help. He didn't want their visits but could consider those who came for medical assistance if he had time.His focus was on the upcoming cybersecurity conference. This was the Innova Group's chance to make a mark. If the Innova Group could shine at this conference, the path ahead would be much smoother.While he was deep in thought, Felicia approached. "Mr. Johnson, a young lady is here to visit."Before Eric could respond, a voice echoed. "Eric, I knew you'd return to King City!"Jessica entered without asking for permission

"You're getting cocky now," Sylvia remarked. "Have you forgotten what Hol. Thornfield said? You must remain humble."She worried about Eric becoming arrogant one day.He chuckled. "I'm just joking, you know? What's the big deal about having a prestigious family? There are plenty of prestigious families in this country."Eric was right. King City had many individuals from illustrious backgrounds. Still, even if one claimed to have a background, others often had stronger connections. Staying humble and keeping a low profile were the keys to success.-Meanwhile, when Jessica left Orion's residence, she ran into Rafael. He knew that Eric had returned to King City, so the Hernandezes had sent him over.He grinned at Jessica and said, "Ms. Watson, I didn't expect to see you seeking medical advice from Hol. Thornfield… Oh, my apologies! I should call him Hol. Johnson now!"Given Eric's medical skills, he deserved to be known as a holistic physician. He could perform Blossom Needling a

Rafael grew impatient."What's the rush?" Javier quipped, "Patience is a virtue. We should aim for one-shot success!""Yes, Dad!"Rafael admired his father's deep thinking. Everyone would be amazed when that person struck! They didn't notice that Julius was eavesdropping and had sent a message to Grace. After sending it, he wiped the record.-At Montgomery Corp.Grace immediately called Sylvia to confirm that she and Eric had returned to King City and were at Orion's place. She summoned the driver and rushed over. "Mom, what's going on?" Sylvia asked when she saw Grace's rush."I just got a message," Grace said. "It mentioned that person Rafael talked about..."Eric frowned. "Rafael just left here. The person he mentioned is probably connected to us."Grace thought the same, along with the message, which was why she had hurried over."It appears you guys don't know who that person is yet, but the Hernandezes are definitely up to something. We can't let them succeed," she

A few days later, the group went to the exhibition center. Grace didn't accompany them, but she sent several of the Montgomery family's security personnel to help the Innova Group.Some big international companies organized this cybersecurity conference. The goal was clear: research network security, find talented people, and, most importantly, show the significant influence of these major manufacturers in the field.The Innova Group's equipment was set up, and Andy had his team move it onto the site even before dawn.Usually, these conferences were for a few big international players, but this year, there was an unfamiliar name: the Innova Group.The organizers had every reason to accept their participation. Companies like the Innova Group, eager to break into the industry, were not uncommon for the organizers. Still, in the end, none of them succeeded. They hadn't even heard of the Innova Group, a small company.In the exhibition area, international manufacturers displayed vario

Before Eric could reply, Jessica continued. "If I had known this was your company, I would have arranged a top-notch booth for you. Hang on, I'll set it up right now.""That's not necessary," Eric said as Jessica took a step. "This location is fine."Jessica felt a little embarrassed. Eric was the first person to turn her down, not just once. She glanced at Sylvia, feeling like she was out of her league. Did Eric love Sylvia for her looks?Jessica couldn't be sure. To ease the awkwardness, she asked, "What's your equipment for?"Eric didn't respond, but Andy was eager to explain. Finally, someone was showing interest in their products."This is the Innova Group's first product, a network firewall. It's essential for big corporations and network operators," Andy quickly clarified."Oh," Jessica replied, realizing she didn't understand this stuff."Perhaps our company could use it. If you launch your products, let me know. We could give them a try," she suggested.Andy was thrill

Eric was unaware of Jessica's desire to help him.At present, the Innova Group was occupied with configuring their equipment. While many onlookers surrounded the major corporations' booths, the Innova Group had only its staff present.After lunch, the main event commenced. To demonstrate the security of their equipment, international giants had invited top-notch white hat hackers to target their network facilities, with a primary focus on firewall devices. If the firewall were to be breached, it would jeopardize the entire network.Andy felt somewhat nervous, even though their equipment had passed verification. They were newcomers in the industry, after all."No need to be nervous. It's not a big deal if our firewall is breached. I've checked past event records, and our domestic manufacturers always ranked at the bottom. So, even if we perform poorly, we won't drop any lower," Eric reassured him.Andy forced a smile. "Eric, you have such an optimistic outlook. Our products are lik

Reporters quickly approached the Innova Group, marking the start of their public attention. This was a success for the Innova Group as they hadn't been the first to face a breach, and their firewall remained untouched, affirming its security.This was the first time a domestic company had achieved such results. Before the reporters could conduct interviews, news had already spread online. It hinted at a domestic firm's emergence as a competitor to international giants, whether in the context of global expansion or rivalry.Soon after, a second international manufacturer fell victim to cyberattacks, causing widespread unease.Among the international giants, someone questioned, "Where did their technology originate?"At that point, benchmarking was crucial, and the fact that two major international manufacturers were compromised before others was quite embarrassing. They had always boasted about their advanced and secure equipment.However, the Innova Group used this moment to chall
