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

Kenneth frowned. He hadn't anticipated that Salt City's underground forces would be even more formidable than Scar's.Had tonight's operation ended in complete failure? Chase couldn't prevent Eric, and even Scar had fled. The entire plan had crumbled.Chase said, "Mr. Petterson, Scar left, and we should also consider leaving. Eric has already detected someone impersonating him, and you've likely been exposed!"Chase's biggest concern was for Kenneth, the Hernandezes' trump card. If they lost him, how would they proceed?Kenneth was displeased—he had invested significant effort and had even brought in fierce figures from King City, yet it seemed like revenge was slipping through his fingers.Chase could see Kenneth's frustration and reassured him, "Mr. Petterson, revenge will come as long as we remain in the game. We still have the support of the Hernandezes, and there will be other opportunities."Kenneth's face darkened as he pondered for a while. He finally nodded. "Let's retur

Tonight was indeed dangerous for Tiger. Scar had come for his life. Fortunately, he had prepared meticulously, which led to Scar leaving empty-handed.Without the dozen or so rifles, Tiger might not have survived. Even in hindsight, he still felt the lingering fear.Tiger wondered, "Scar is a man from King City's streets, acting on the Hernandezes' orders. But why would he come after me?"At this point, he hadn't figured it out. Logically, he had no connections with the Hernandezes and no personal grudges."We missed something." Roland chimed in. "Tiger, Mr. Johnson, have you noticed that the three of us share something in common?"After some thought, he realized Scar had been circling around the three of them from Dortmund City to tonight. When this dawned on him, everything suddenly made sense."What is it?" Tiger asked.He knew he and Roland were both underground bosses, a common trait. But what about Eric?Roland continued. "Scar came after you, but he attacked me first. Do

Seraphine said, "Brook, if you need more experts, just let me know. I can bring a few more from King City. The Montgomerys not only have a lot of money but also many skilled individuals."Brook noticed Seraphine's growing assertiveness and couldn't help but smile. Seraphine and Grace had their similarities, but they were also different in many ways.Sylvester glanced at Seraphine and shook his head.Brook replied, "We don't need additional manpower. Tiger has repelled Scar from King City. Let's keep our resources to deal with the Hernandezes because they sent Scar."Seraphine flared up. The audacity of the Hernandezes to meddle in Salt City was infuriating. On the surface, it seemed like they were dealing with Tiger, but she knew their ultimate target was Eric.Sylvia reassured her, "Seraphine, don't worry about these matters. Let the men handle them. There's no need for us to concern ourselves with it."Sylvia had never involved herself in Eric's street matters. As a couple, she

"If Kenneth has been exposed, things will get more complicated." Javier's face darkened as he asked, "You showed up in front of him?"He thought Kenneth, as the eldest son of the Pettersons, should have known better—when to act and when not to.Chase shook his head and explained, "Mr. Hernandez, it was only me who went. I had an encounter with Eric, but Mr. Petterson didn't go, and they didn't see him."Javier frowned and asked, "Then how—"Chase interrupted, "We don't know for sure. It's hard not to be noticed with advanced surveillance technology everywhere nowadays."Javier was at a loss for words. He sighed and said, "For the time being, don't go back to Salt City. You should all stay at the villa and not roam around. We'll make arrangements once the situation calms down."This unexpected situation disrupted Javier's plans. He hadn't anticipated that Kenneth's visit to Salt City would almost expose him. Under Eric's vigilant watch, Kenneth's chances of success were nearly imp

Eric always brought Sylvia with him to work. The Innova Group was continuously expanding. After changing its name to the Innova Group, the company also relocated its offices. At this point, all the key figures at the Innova Group knew that Sylvia would eventually join the group.On the other hand, Andy was growing impatient."Eric, when will you let Sylvia take over to free me up?" he asked, rubbing his hands together.Sylvia had excellent suggestions, but Andy found it challenging to implement them. Although he could hire someone for the work, Andy didn't fully trust outsiders. After all, family was different from outsiders. In his eyes, he already considered himself part of Eric's family due to his relationship with Elly."Why are you in such a hurry? Sylvia hasn't had enough rest yet," Eric replied.Andy looked frustrated upon hearing that. "Eric, Sylvia, don't you want to see me happy? The house is almost renovated. Now I need a wife!"He chuckled and added, "I secretly added

Henry suddenly realized that Alexander and Grace, who had come that day, were his in-laws. One was already an in-law, and the other was soon to be. This was indeed a fortunate turn of events.Amelia said, "Victoria, Grace, since you're here in Salt City, why not extend your stay and enjoy your time?"Alexander chuckled. "Our girl doesn't want to leave Salt City. If she's not eager to return, we'll have to spend more time here."It was a common belief that a married woman would leave her family to join her husband's. Alexander understood this principle and wanted both families to handle this matter together. He was quite pleased with Sylvester and the others.Aside from Grace, Alexander and Victoria were visiting Salt City for the first time. They engaged in conversation with Henry while Sylvia consulted Grace about the Innova Group. With the change in leadership on the agenda, it was time to start implementing it.Listening to Sylvia's thoughts, Grace nodded and said, "Very good.
