Regarding Sylvester, it was just a sense of duty. He believed Seraphine was already his woman."Is that right?" Eric chuckled. "Sylvia and I are still deeply in love!"Seraphine rolled her eyes, thinking Sylvia and Eric were the epitome of true love.-The Pettersons' mansion in Dortmund City had become desolate after several months. Fallen leaves were scattered, and the landscape had grown wild, losing its shape. The place hadn't been cleaned in a while.A few days ago, it had been auctioned and bought by a mysterious buyer.A figure stood at the mansion's entrance, gazing at the desolate building. Several tall, burly men were behind him.Kenneth Petterson had returned to Dortmund City."How's it going in Salt City?" He clenched his fist. "What's the progress?"One of the men stepped forward and said, "Mr. Petterson—"Before he could finish, Kenneth glared at him. He quickly corrected himself, "Mr. Johnson... Everything is going smoothly. We've gathered a lot of information,

Kenneth had worked hard to impersonate Eric effectively. The Hernandezes saw him as their key player. If played well, it could bring unexpected results.Eric and Sylvia had no idea Kenneth was in Salt City. Life was peaceful for the married couple. The Innova Group's product lines expanded, and Sylvia considered visiting Williams Corp.After Lucas had slashed her face, she hadn't been to Williams Corp. In the eyes of the company's senior executives and employees, Sylvester had become the CEO in Sylvia's absence.Still, Sylvia's authority remained. When she entered the building, the employees greeted her."Ms. Williams!" Her former secretary almost cried, "You're finally back."Sylvia smiled. "I'm just here to look around. Sylvester is running the company now. If I join another company in the future, I'll bring you along."While she had a secretary she was accustomed to, she needed retraining. She wasn't familiar with many business aspects and wasn't proficient in them. Andy still

The group chatted until the afternoon, then headed to the Williams residence.Eric occasionally checked the rearview mirror on the way, his brow furrowing."What's wrong?" Sylvia asked.Eric shook his head. "Maybe it's just my imagination, but I keep feeling like someone is following us."Sylvia glanced at the rearview mirror but saw nothing behind their car. Still, she couldn't shake her worry. This situation felt all too familiar. When Lucas had posed a threat to her in the past, he had sent people to track her and Eric. Could their enemy be employing the same tactics?Sensing Sylvia's concerns, Eric reassured her, "We should stick together. Let's not separate."Little did they know that, in the past, it was Lucas who had monitored Sylvia, leading Eric away from her. However, this time, their target was Eric.-After dinner at the Williams residence, the couple returned to the Rosewood Estate.Eric once again felt they were being followed and kept checking the rearview mirro

Andreas was known as Scar among his peers due to a fierce scar on his face. The scar, left by a swordsman, was a source of pride and motivation for him.Sitting beside him was Kenneth, whose face bore many scars. Scar assumed Kenneth to be ruthless, thinking he had intentionally disfigured himself. He also marveled at the Hernandezes' wealth, which allowed such transformations. Money could indeed work wonders.A person entered the room and addressed them, "Mr. Auer, Mr. Kenneth. I've tracked the person you mentioned. He's living in the Rosewood Estate, had dinner at the Williams' family mansion, and then returned home. That's all we've found."They were tracking Eric, acting on Kenneth's orders.Scar drummed his fingers on the table and glanced at Kenneth. "Who do you want to deal with first?"Kenneth replied indifferently, "He can't die yet. If he dies, Mr. Hernandez's plan won't work."There was another layer of meaning that Kenneth didn't express. If Eric died, Kenneth would l

"Mr. Kirkby," David called out as he nervously took a seat in the chair indicated by Tiger. Tiger was a prominent figure in Salt City's underworld scene, leading the local gangs for years. His presence commanded respect, striking fear even in the younger gang members.Tiger nodded and had someone bring a cup, placing it in front of David. He was generally courteous to his subordinates.Tiger said calmly, "Speak. What's the situation?"David took a sip of his tea, trying to ease his anxiety. "Mr. Kirkby, I've located the people you mentioned."Tiger frowned upon hearing that. "Get to the point. Where are they?""They..." David hesitated. "They are... right outside the villa."Tiger stood up in anger, slamming his hand on the table. "David—"Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a fight erupted outside. A battered man rushed in and said, "Mr. Kirkby! Someone has broken in!""Arm yourselves!" Tiger shouted.His men hurriedly went upstairs.David was bewildered, won

At Tiger's residence.The sound of a gunshot echoed, and the fierce combat came to a sudden halt.Blood pooled around several of Scar's men, and Tiger's group had also suffered casualties, especially among those who had guarded the entrance.Tige stepped out of the building with an assault rifle and barked, "Everyone, freeze!"A path cleared on either side of the area, and even Scar's wounded men were swiftly moved out of harm's way.Scar's intense gaze locked onto Tiger, and his attention fixated on the assault rifle hanging from Tiger's shoulder. He had brought many seasoned fighters tonight, including a few of his best. Scar's face darkened as one of his top fighters fell victim to a single gunshot.The presence of firearms was an unexpected development. Such weapons had become increasingly rare due to crackdowns by the authorities. One gunshot equaled a dead end, as both the authorities and the criminal underworld would want you eliminated.What astonished Scar even more was

Tiger nodded and said, "Scar, you know how powerful we are in Salt City. I'll let you and your men go if you promise to remove your people from Dortmund City. Let's maintain peace from now on, alright?"Upon hearing that, Scar's eyes lit up. For him, this night was a dire situation. If Tiger had any intentions of killing him, he and his men wouldn't make it out of Salt City alive.For Tiger, this night was a last resort. He wouldn't have resorted to using the hidden assault rifles on the second floor if it hadn't come down to a life-or-death situation. He also realized that his forces weren't a match for Scar.He issued a warning to Scar tonight, believing that after they reached an agreement, Scar wouldn't return to Salt City."Is what you're saying true?" Scar asked."Absolutely," Tiger assured. "You can leave and never return, or you can attempt to challenge my rifles with your men.""Alright," Scar replied swiftly, not daring to be reckless. "We will leave Salt City tonight a

Chase understood the gravity of the situation. He knew Eric wouldn't take kindly to someone impersonating him, and this added an extra layer of difficulty for Kenneth's plans. It was now easy for his cover to be blown."You're not going to talk?" Eric's icy words hung in the air.After realizing he was no match for Eric, Chase remained silent. It was evident that they would need to capture him and interrogate him methodically.As Eric moved closer, Chase hesitated, then threw a knife as Eric closed in.Swiftly dodging the knife, Eric continued approaching him.Chase seized the opportunity to bolt into the darkness. Eric refrained from pursuing him, suspicious that it might be a ploy to lure him away from Sylvia. He resolved to remain by her side to ensure her safety."Faster than a rabbit," Sylvia remarked as she joined Eric. "Is he the one who was guarding the door in the video?"Eric nodded. "Yes, that's him. Let's go. We should head to Tiger's place."The two of them quickly
