Grace excitedly urged Veronica to check if she looked beautiful.After dining at the Montgomery residence, Eric and Sylvia returned to their place. Eric contemplated staying in King City for a few days to attend to any real patients seeking medical assistance.Among the elegant business cards, there were also some simple notes with phone numbers. They understood that Eric might not check those notes, but it was their last hope. After all, having hope in life was better than having none.Eric knew that if someone sought medical help, it would certainly be a complex and challenging case, possibly one he hadn't encountered before.Ordinary illnesses would have sent patients to the hospital long ago instead of waiting for him.In fact, even though the renowned holistic physicians in King City rarely handled routine medical cases, they had various sources of income. Apart from treating wealthy families, some of them were involved in business ventures.Getting them to treat common illn

Eric sighed as he laid eyes on Jessica once more. He couldn't help but wonder if she had nothing better to do with her time. Yet, he refrained from questioning her, his thoughts drifting to Seraphine and Misty. Both were born into wealthy families and seemed to spend their days idly."Huh?" Jessica asked when she spotted Sylvia, "Why are both of you here today?"Eric was dumbfounded. "We're married. Why can't we both be here? This is our home, and we don't have to inform you about our plans, right?"Jessica merely chuckled, sensing that Eric was keeping something from Sylvia.However, Sylvia was more perceptive and asked, "Ms. Watson, has Eric ever come to King City by himself?""Yes," Jessica replied. "I saw him here alone last time. He even mentioned you were in Salt City handling other matters."Just to make her point, she added, "If you doubt it, you can ask your housekeeper."Felicia approached and added, "I remember it was the 14th. It struck me as odd when Mr. Johnson sho

Not only that, but the imposter looked exactly like Eric. Sylvia couldn't determine why this person wanted to pretend to be Eric.She looked at Eric and asked, "What should we do?"It had been almost two weeks since the incident, and investigating now probably wouldn't give any results.Eric said seriously, "I don't know. Let's stick together for now. I'll inform my mom and ask if anyone in Salt City has seen me alone recently."He wanted to find out if the imposter was still in King City or had gone to Salt City. Thankfully, during this time, he and Sylvia were always together.After making some calls, Brook reported an unusual situation. When he shared it, Eric and Sylvia felt relieved. Brook had seen Eric alone on the second day of the incident in Dortmund City. Back then, Eric and Brook had visited Tiger together, and they hadn't seen Eric alone apart from that.Eric was relieved that the imposter hadn't gone to Salt City.After the inquiries, the tension grew slightly.Eri

Eric gazed in awe at the vast underground arena in King City. It made Salt City seem like child's play in comparison. The fighting stage easily accommodated various fighters, and the venue boasted modern facilities. Real-time match updates flashed on a large screen, keeping the entire audience engaged.Even those seated far from the fighting stage could watch the matches through a synchronized live feed on the massive screen.Leopard had managed to secure seats relatively close to the front, but several rows ahead of them were filling up with spectators.Leopard explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson. With my connections, I could only secure seats up to this point. In front of us are the true underworld bosses of King City, along with representatives from major families. The Montgomerys also have seats. I wonder if they'll show up tonight."Eric raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the seating arrangement in an arena would reveal the hierarchy of power in King City.However, he

"Everyone calls him Mr. Deluca," Leopard said. "His group can easily secure a spot in the top ten!"Eric squinted as Leopard spoke, and Matteo Deluca made his move. Eric could see that Matteo practiced kickboxing, and he was highly proficient at it. In Salt City, there would be hardly any opponents for Matteo's skills.Eric observed with great attention, and even Sylvia was captivated, witnessing the two fighters performing martial arts techniques she had never seen before.The underground arena in King City was a melting pot, showcasing various martial arts and kicking styles that Eric had never encountered or studied. It was only now that Eric understood why Tiger had dreamt of having a match here his whole life.The underground arena here was indeed the coveted place for leaders from different regions.After watching for a while, Sylvia pointed to the opposite side. "The Hernandezes are over there."Eric followed her gaze and saw Javier, Rafael, and Julius seated opposite them

Neither of them knew each other, and Matteo wasn't sure if Eric would help him. He knew that getting medical help from famous doctors in King City was tough. Matteo had even tried to invite those well-known holistic physicians several times, but received no response.He saw Eric by chance today and decided to give it a try.However, if Eric refused to help, Matteo would have no choice but to accept his luck. Offending a holistic physician, especially a renowned one, could lead to retaliation from underworld figures. Holistic physicians were rarer than underworld leaders. There were many leaders, but holistic physicians were scarce.When Matteo made his request, Eric nodded and said, "Let me take a look."Matteo's face lit up with joy, and he quickly pulled a chair next to Eric.After Eric examined him for a moment, he said, "You must have practiced kickboxing for a long time, right?"Matteo was surprised by Eric's insight. He hadn't expected him to know so much just from a quick

Matteo had been neglecting his injuries, which were affecting his ability to use inner energy. If he didn't seek treatment in time, he might have to retire from the world of martial arts."Please, Hol. Johnson, you've got to help me!" Matteo pleaded.However, Eric shook his head, catching Matteo off guard. Thinking Eric might be seeking compensation, Matteo hastily offered, "Just state your price, Hol. Johnson!""It's not about money," Eric said.Matteo recalled that Eric was Orion's sole apprentice and Grace's son. Money wasn't a concern for them—it was just a number.Eric continued. "Mr. Deluca, your injuries can't be cured quickly. I haven't had much time lately. You must be patient and avoid martial activities during this period."Matteo was overjoyed. He had been under the impression Eric wouldn't help him, so he quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Hol. Johnson!"Eric waved his hand and stood up. "I'll take my leave. If I have time, I'll let you know.""Sure! Sure

In the morning, after getting ready and having breakfast, Eric and Sylvia prepared to leave.Sylvia said, "Madam Baresi, we might be away for a while. A person named Vince will come by later. You should get to know him. He's one of us."Eric and Sylvia had decided to leave Vince there to keep an eye on things as a precaution, preventing the imposter from taking advantage."Alright." Felicia nodded. She was also worried when she learned that someone was impersonating Eric, and she was pretty certain that he would come here again.The couple left the imposter issue behind and embarked on a journey to explore the beauty of their country. They had been married for over a year, yet they had not traveled together to appreciate the wonders of their country.With a planned itinerary, the final destination was the Celestial Sage Sanctum. After visiting the sanctum, they would return to Salt City.By the time they returned, projects at the Innova Group would likely have made some progress.
