Chapter 627
Eric raised an eyebrow, pondering whether Molly's man was truly one of Scar's underlings. At the same time, a dozen cars rolled into the village, creating a cloud of dust that prompted the villagers to hastily make way, anxiety evident on their faces.Not far from Seth's house, a man waved joyfully.At the forefront of the procession was a Land Rover. A man stepped forward to open the car door, and Scar emerged, looking somewhat disheveled.Leopard's underlings rushed to him, exclaiming, "Boss! It's Scar!"A sense of fear swept through the crowd. Scar held a notorious reputation in King City, far more influential than Leopard."Scar himself is here? What's he doing in the middle of nowhere?" Leopard expressed his astonishment, glancing at Eric with doubts about his ability to handle Scar.Meeting Leopard's gaze, Eric calmly stated, "Go and meet him first. I won't show myself for now."Leopard was rendered speechless.-Outside, Scar surveyed the somewhat desolate hall."Whe

Scar was astonished, primarily due to Seth's serene demeanor. Only someone who had experienced the ups and downs of life—tasted its bitterness and sweetness—could view life and death with indifference."Mr… Mr. Andreas?" Mad Dog noticed that Scar seemed to be intimidated.Scar snapped back to his senses and asked, "Mad Dog, how much do you know about that old man?"Mad Dog chuckled. "Mr. Andreas, that's Molly's ex-father-in-law, just an ordinary old man. There's nothing to be afraid of!"Scar suddenly realized he had made a mistake. He had misjudged the situation. He was indignant, thinking he was being intimidated by an ordinary old man."Old man! Will you pay the money or not?" Scar bellowed.He was prepared to take action if Seth refused to design.The villagers were all terrified as Scar and his men were imposing. Seth was about to stand up when Eric's voice echoed. "We can produce the money. But I'm afraid you might not dare to take it!"Silence descended.After a beat, S

Eric smiled. "It's fine. You can either give it to Matteo or give it to Leopard. Later, when they transfer it to me, I'll pass it on to Mr. Gurth."Witnessing Eric's nonchalance, Scar couldn't help but feel relieved."Can I go now?" he asked."Wait. There's another question. A person of your status shouldn't appear here so quickly. How did you get here so fast?"It didn't make sense that Scar would come to such a place for Mad Dog."Mr. Johnson, to be honest, my subordinates and I found a big tomb nearby! Since Mr. Johnson is interested, why not check it out together?" Scar suggested.Eric was surprised. He didn't expect Scar to be involved in tomb-raiding activities. Waving his hand, he said, "Forget it. I'm not interested. Take care of your subordinates. If you come to trouble Mr. Gurth again, I'll come after you!""Okay, okay!" Scar left in a hurry along with his subordinates, Mad Dog, and Molly.A certain distance away, Scar's face darkened.Mad Dog approached Scar and ask

Javier found himself sentenced with undeniable evidence, unable to escape the clutches of justice, especially under the pressure exerted by the Combat Department.Even if he contemplated fleeing, it would be impossible. The Combat Department had orchestrated this to gain favor with Eric.The news surrounding Javier's sentencing was presented in a simple manner, stating that a person named Javier had received a life sentence.Ultimately, justice prevailed, and the head of the Hernandezes faced the legal consequences. Despite Javier's potential for good behavior in prison and the chance for parole, the Combat Department's watchful eye rendered the probability close to zero.At the same time, Kenneth met a similar fate, sentenced to life imprisonment, solidifying the demise of the Pettersons in Dortmund City.Eric found satisfaction in the outcome, considering it revenge for his mentor and Felicia. With Astrid deceased and Javier and Kenneth incarcerated, the score was settled.In t

Cash was unique—its purchasing power would only gradually depreciate with inflation, and this process unfolded slowly.Eric sighed and remarked, "The Hernandezes are incredibly wealthy, yet they don't seem to make any wealthy lists."Not only the Hernandezes but also influential families like the McClains and the Watsons—Eric hadn't seen either of them on such lists. Given the substantial assets of these families, they should undoubtedly qualify.Sylvia smiled and added, "The billionaires on the list are undoubtedly wealthy, but many invisible billionaires never make the cut."The so-called list might just be a goal for ordinary people to aspire to."These words held insight. Numerous wealthy individuals surpassed those on the list but disdained the recognition. The list was entirely meaningless for families like the McClains and the Watsons. They could even control those who made it if they desired.Despite Eric's sudden wealth, he remained indifferent. At this level, money migh

Life had temporarily returned to calm, with the focus now squarely on the Innova Group. The international chip manufacturers cutting off the chip supply to the Innova Group marked the initial step in their attack against the company, indicating their awareness of the Innova Group's threat.In the tech industry, the domestic market had greatly lagged behind, making the sudden rise of a company like the Innova Group unacceptable.The Innova Group had provided explanations regarding its overseas market layout, characterizing it as ordinary business arrangements and nothing more.Since her return from King City, Sylvia had been immersed in the company's affairs and was beginning to feel the strain.-At the Rosewood Estate.Sylvia reclined on the sofa, massaging her forehead. "What's all this talk about technology without borders? It's all nonsense."Taking on the role of the Innova Group's CEO had provided Sylvia with new experiences.Eric could tell she was exhausted, so he broug

In light of this, the Innova Group had established its after-sales service department. Within the original team, many had ascended to management positions, enjoying elevated salaries. Ambition wasn't their primary drive—rather, they sought compensation equivalent to their skills, reflecting their true value.At the same time, Innova Tech undertook installing and debugging the Innova Group's equipment. While the marketing department spearheaded exploration into overseas markets, both Innova Tech and the after-sales department played equally vital roles. Maintaining the existing structure would facilitate the Innova Group's expansion into overseas markets.Sylvia found herself occupied to the point where morning affections with Eric took a backseat. Her determination was fixed on making the Innova Group a powerhouse, challenging the monopoly of the top three international giants.Entrepreneurship was arduous, but sustaining success proved even more challenging.Undeniably, the Inno

After a brief moment of reflection, Sylvia suggested, "Respond to them and confirm the location. Instruct them to arrive promptly after work in the afternoon."With the venue settled, the Innova Group naturally opted for a high-end and classy setting.As it was time to leave work, Eric asked, "Are you certain you don't want either Andy or me to accompany you?"Sylvia smiled. "I can handle my liquor. Besides, it's just a few people from the local government. Also, I feel that having you accompany them would be giving them too much respect."Eric understood her perspective and wondered if Sylvia had dealt with them before.-After escorting Sylvia and her assistant downstairs, Eric waited in the car.Several stout and smiling men were already seated in the private room."Ms. Williams, Ms. Harper, please take a seat!"They stood up, projecting a host-like demeanor despite the location being chosen by the Innova Group. The dishes were exquisite, and the wine was top-notch.As Syl
