At Salt City.Sylvia really missed Eric, and Andy had returned to work in a much better mood. "Hey, Eric, is everything settled in King City?" Andy asked, surprised to see Eric back.He had heard from Sylvia that Eric had gone to King City with an uncertain return date.Eric nodded and headed straight to Sylvia's office, leaving Andy puzzled. There was something strange about Eric, but he couldn't quite figure it out.Sylvia was busy with her tasks in the office. When she heard someone enter, she looked up and said, "You're back already?"Her voice was sweet, and 'Eric' froze for a moment. Before he could react, a stunning beauty stood before him.Sylvia knew that this person was the imposter. If the real Eric had returned to Salt City, he would have called her first, and he wouldn't be this calm when seeing her. The disguise was too obvious.However, Sylvia didn't expose Kenneth as it wouldn't be interesting. She calmly observed his performance."Honey," Kenneth said, moving

Eric didn't rush back to Salt City because he hadn't finished his tasks in King City yet.The hospital competition had just ended. The veteran holistic physicians, who had gained a substantial advantage in the morning, still held their ground in the afternoon despite the absence of experienced practitioners.After a day of competition, the group of holistic physicians had built their confidence. Even without Eric's presence, everyone knew he was in King City, ready to step in at any moment. This time, the plan to discredit holistic medicine was destined to fail.-"He's good," Javier said, frowning. He had failed once again. Not only had he been unable to eliminate Eric, but the attempt to discredit the holistic medicine field had also failed.At that moment, Javier realized how little he and the Hernandezes knew about Eric. It seemed like Eric had appeared out of nowhere. Grace had visited Salt City twice, and suddenly Eric emerged. Javier had no information about Eric before thi

Eric felt something in Julius' eyes.Julius sighed deeply—it seemed Eric had no interest in knowing his biological father.Standing up, Julius warned, "Be cautious of Javier. He's someone who'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.""Understood." Eric nodded. He couldn't help but give Julius a second look. He didn't know why this member of the Hernandezes was providing information about Javier. Had Javier himself sent him?Eric had no answers to those questions, but he wasn't quick to trust anyone, especially from the Hernandezes.After a deep gaze, Julius left.-A luxurious car awaited at the villa's entrance. Inside, a middle-aged woman asked, "Julius, how did the conversation go?"The middle-aged woman was Julius' wife, Nera Calles.Julius shook his head and replied dejectedly, "He doesn't recognize me and isn't willing to discuss much.""Take it slow," Nera said gently, "If he can forgive Grace, he might forgive you too."Julius smiled bitterly, knowing his situation w

Alexander was at a loss for words. Thirty years had faded the once intense emotions. Grace and Julius were no longer the young couple in their 20s. Back then, they loved each other, and nothing else mattered.The present-day Grace clearly no longer had any interest in Julius, and Eric couldn't care less.After dinner, Eric went to Matteo's place to treat his injuries.While the silver needle was still in place, Matteo chuckled and remarked, "You really are the Hernandezes' bane. Their influence in the underworld has vanished, and I heard they lost a significant sum in the first underground match tonight."When the Hernandezes had sway in the underworld, they could manipulate match outcomes. However, times had changed.Eric was not well-versed in the underworld's matters in King City or Salt City. He had no response when he heard that the Hernandezes were facing setbacks and losses, puzzling Matteo.Logically, he should be delighted to hear such news, but Eric remained indifferent

Eric stumbled and hit the floor with a heavy thud, caught off guard. Despite his martial arts practice, there was no way he could escape unscathed from such a move. Sylvia patted her hand and returned to her seat, convinced that the person before her was an imposter. After all, the real Eric would have easily countered her with his skills. "Honey, what was that for?" Eric stood up with a gloomy expression. "I'm the real Eric. Give me the passphrase!"It was only at that moment that he realized Kenneth had disrupted his life."Oh my!" Sylvia suddenly realized and stuck her tongue out. "So you're real?! I'm so sorry about that. You can throw me as well if you want."Sylvia was sure the current Eric was real because only he knew the passphrase.Eric was rendered speechless.While tidying her desk, Sylvia asked, "Why did you come back suddenly? Is everything in King City sorted?""More or less," Eric replied. "Things are stable in the holistic medicine community. I also took the

Eric and Sylvia's days were pretty ordinary. After enjoying the wealthy lifestyle of a prominent family for decades, Sylvia loved the authenticity of their current life.After dinner, the couple returned to their room to rest.In the middle of the night, the phone suddenly rang.Eric quickly answered when he saw it was a call from Brook. "What's the matter, Brook?" he asked."Eric!" Brook sounded urgent. "Tiger is in trouble."Eric snapped awake instantly. Sylvia, disturbed, asked, "Eric, what's going on?""Brook just called," Eric replied. "He said Tiger is in trouble, so I need to go check it out.""I'll go with you!" Sylvia insisted.-After quickly preparing, the couple rushed to Tiger's residence. The area around Tiger's home was cordoned off, indicating something serious had happened.Eric, Sylvia, and Brook happened to arrive at the same time. Upon receiving the call, Brook had first informed Eric and then rushed there from the William residence.Without wasting much

Tiger had established his own empire in Salt City through his fists. However, there was a looming possibility that he might not be able to rely on force in the future.Naturally, Tiger felt sad but swiftly adjusted his mindset. He nodded and said, "If force is not an option, then so be it. As long as we preserve our lives, it's sufficient."As he spoke, a group of people entered. The leader at the front wore a stern expression and said, "Mr. Kirbky, I apologize! We lost track of the person."Tiger frowned, slammed the table, and stood up, declaring, "Retrieve the surveillance footage. I want a clear image of his face sent to our team! I refuse to believe he can escape!"Tiger was seething with anger, having suffered a significant loss.The surveillance footage was promptly retrieved, and Eric swiftly identified the person on the screen."Chase?!" Eric exclaimed.Never had he expected that Chase would be the one attempting to assassinate Tiger. It suddenly made sense; Chase was o

Eric and Sylvia had breakfast in the morning, and then they headed to Elly's nail salon.Sylvia intended to take a two-day break to attend to some personal matters before returning to work. Only Elly was in the store, as Andy had already dropped off the boys at school before heading to work. He was truly dedicated."Why do you have time to come today?" Elly seemed surprised when she saw Eric and Sylvia. The couple hadn't visited the shop in several days."We've finished our work and came to see you, Elly," Sylvia said with a cheerful smile.From Elly's expression, it seemed like she hadn't been greatly affected by Colin and Lily.Sylvia continued. "Elly, Andy just moved into the new house, right? Why don't you stay with him?""This place is fine," Elly replied. "Besides, Andy worked so hard for it. I didn't contribute anything, so why should I move in?"She was never greedy, and even though Andy had suggested she move in, she declined. There were too many issues and differences
