Eric likely knew why Chris had been disqualified. Firstly, he was incapable, and secondly, it might be because Chris was inquiring about information regarding him.Certain individuals had information that should remain untouched, and the Falcon branch couldn't figure it out, leading Henry to leave with his group.-Back at the hotel, Henry booked a flight back to Salt City for the next day.As Eric prepared to sleep, he received a call from Ruth."Are you in Falcon City?" Ruth asked.Thinking there might be trouble in Salt City, Eric replied, "We'll be back in Salt City tomorrow.""Don't come back for now," Ruth advised. "I'll be in Falcon City tonight. Is your family there?""Yes," Eric replied."Alright, I'll contact you when I get to Falcon City."Ruth hung up, leaving Eric puzzled. 'Why is Ruth coming to Falcon City? And why did she ask if everyone is in Falcon City? Something seemed off!' Eric thought."What's going on?" Sylvia asked."Ruth is coming to Falcon City ton

After conversing for a while, Henry and the others returned to their rooms to rest.Ruth harbored some confidential information she couldn't divulge to them. Sylvia, being Eric's wife, found herself privy to certain details after Eric joined the Combat Department."The matters involving the Falcon branch may be more serious than you thought," Ruth cautioned.Eric frowned and asked, "How serious can it be?"This unexpected revelation hinted at a potential plot by the Falcon branch against the Salt branch.Ruth glanced at Sylvia and explained, "They're consolidating resources and taking action for the Crimson Order's benefit. To put it bluntly, accusing them of illegal fundraising could implicate you guys in Salt City."At that moment, Sylvia grasped the gravity of the situation. If a single accusation could implicate the entire Salt branch, the implications of other charges became even more concerning.It dawned on her why Ruth's initial inquiry focused on the depth of their re

Everyone stared at Eric incredulously. Even Sylvia was taken aback by Eric's remark."Damn it!" Shay exclaimed, "Who do you think you are? Without the Williams, you're nothing!""Do you want to die?!" Dickson shouted.Sylvester, Seraphine, and Sylvia remained silent. After all, they all felt that Eric had said what they did not dare to utter."Am I wrong?" Eric shrugged and said, "Sylvester has explained so much, and you still don't get it? We have no intention of merging William Corp. and the Innova Group with the so-called family conglomerate."How could you be so delusional? Oh! I get it now. You're not delusional. You just want to acquire both companies without contributing, right? Let me tell you! No way! There's nothing such as a free lunch in the world!"The Williams' faces sank when Eric exposed their intention. Eric was just a husband-in-law of the Salt branch. He was not even considered as a Williams."You fucktard!" Dickson shouted and swung his fist at Eric.Unfortu

"Uncle!" Upon seeing Shay struggle to formulate a plan, Dickson suggested, "We must find a way to teach Eric a lesson. Otherwise, he'll think we're a bunch of pushovers!"He squinted and added, "It's essential to give him a reality check, but I also want Sylvester and his sister to stay in Falcon City for a while. This will open up more opportunities for us! The merger of William Corp. and the Innova Group into our family is vital for our prosperity!"Shay already had a plan in mind.-Meanwhile, after a day of sightseeing in Falcon City, Eric and the others returned to the hotel after dinner.Ruth, Eric, and Sylvia shared a room, citing budget reasons.Sylvia knew it was for the convenience of executing their mission and to see if the Williams would take the bait."Keep it down tonight, you two. I'm tired from missions every day," Ruth said while heading to the room.Sylvia blushed at that.-As the clock struck midnight, a mysterious figure quietly opened the door to their

Eric was astounded by the Combat Department's modus operandi. He speculated that they intended to take action against Shadow."We'll do it like we did in Salt City. The others and I will handle capturing, and you'll be responsible for dealing with Shadow," Ruth said.Her plan was meticulous. To draw out Shadow, she aimed to spread the news while also assigning someone to discreetly monitor Michael. If Shadow appeared in Falcon City, it would directly confirm whether Michael was indeed Shadow.Eric nodded. "Okay."- The next afternoon, after they obtained Shane's interrogation results, Ruth immediately set her plan in motion.To avoid arousing suspicion, Eric refrained from participating in the mission.In the end, over a dozen Williams members, including Shay, were apprehended. Just two days after celebrating their ancestral ceremony, several of them found themselves in prison.Upon learning of the outcome, Sylvester was dumbfounded. "It's fortunate we stayed out of it. Otherw

A figure clad in black stood in front of Eric. Despite the mask concealing their face, Eric discerned a striking resemblance to Michael.Surprised, the person exclaimed, "You're Eric? The founder of the Innova Group?"Genuine astonishment filled him. The punch he had just thrown was intended to be lethal, yet Eric had effortlessly blocked it.As a member of the Crimson Order, he was well-informed about the Innova Group's predicament. Eric's distinctive features were too conspicuous, and he never anticipated the founder of the Innova Group to be such an extraordinary martial artist!Eric was relieved upon hearing the voice. "You're not Michael?""He is Shadow! Capture him!" Ruth had heard the entire conversation and identified the person who had shot the arrow as Shadow.The wind howled, and an intense battle ensued. Elaborate moves were unnecessary at this point—only fists served as techniques.Eric swiftly retreated while neutralizing the formidable force from the punch.Shado

None of them had accomplished this feat before. Just as Eric prepared to charge at Shadow to conclude the fight, Ruth abruptly spat a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness."Ma'am!" the subordinates shouted.Eric instantly grasped the situation. He turned around just in time to catch the collapsing Ruth. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Ruth's lips appeared dark, indicating possible poisoning."Hahaha!" Shadow laughed heartily, declaring, "She'll die by my hand today!"Following his laughter, he turned and fled, seemingly aware that if Eric was free, escape would be impossible.Observing Shadow attempting to flee, several members rushed forward. Despite their efforts, they were no match for Shadow. Even injured, he proved formidable against ordinary opponents. With a swing of his fist, Shadow effortlessly repelled them, vanishing into the night.Shadow escaped, leaving Ruth severely injured and teetering on the brink of death.-Ruth awoke the next day, greeted by the

The two women fixed their gaze on Eric simultaneously, causing him to blush. In the realm of practicing medicine, breaching certain boundaries was unavoidable.Eric considered it normal. The late Orion had even mentioned it before. However, why did it sound different coming from Ruth's mouth?"You were on the brink of death, and the hospital couldn't identify the poison even after an extensive search. So I had to act swiftly," he explained."You should have just let me die..." Ruth mumbled.This time, she suffered significant losses.Changing the subject, Eric stated, "Now we can confirm that Michael is not Shadow. The Innova Group and the Hamptons have verified this. When Shadow appeared last night, Michael was negotiating with the Hamptons about relocating Frontier Digital to Salt City.""Before this, the Battle Department could only speculate. After all, individuals like Shadow are cunning. Alright, I need to swiftly send the person we captured yesterday to King City and draft
