Eric's demeanor shifted to a slightly solemn expression."Mr. Rogers, I believe you are well aware of why your father ended up like this."Brent understood the situation upon hearing that."Hol. Johnson is right. My father was poisoned, and due to his old age, the poison caused other complications. If it weren't for advanced medical technology, he would have died for sure."Yes, some people wanted my father dead. If Hol. Johnson wakes him up, you will undoubtedly become their enemy!"However, Hol. Johnson, I can absolutely guarantee your safety!"Eric smiled, finding conversing with intelligent individuals like Brent effortless."That makes things much easier. However, I must warn you, Mr. Rogers. After the treatment, your father will be lucid for three days. He will be no different from a healthy person during these three days."But, after three days, he will die!"Brent's joyful expression turned grim at the end of Eric's words. "Hol. Johnson… is there no other way?"Eric s

The treatment was swift, yet Buck displayed no reaction. Observing this, Brent couldn't help but inquire, "Hol. Johnson, is that all?"It seemed somewhat unbelievable to him. Buck's condition was already extremely dire. Could a rapid treatment genuinely bring him back to life and make him lively for three days?"He will wake up in ten minutes. Organize whatever you need to in these three days. After that, no one can save him," Eric calmly stated.Brent felt conflicted. He didn't want Buck to die, but the Rogers family's situation left Buck in charge.Eric's thoughts were clearly not with the Rogers family—he was likely thinking that Sylvia would be overjoyed to see him again.After administering the treatment, Eric returned to his room to rest. The affairs of the Rogers family were not his concern, and he didn't care about the reaction of the family members once Buck woke up.Shortly after, Brent approached Eric."Thank you, Hol. Johnson. My father has awakened, and his conditio

Touching Eric, Sylvia realized that this wasn't a dream—his heartbeat resonated strongly. Tears welled up in her eyes. The last time they had met, Eric had promised to take her home, and true to his word, he didn't disappoint.Brent understood that Sylvia and Eric's relationship was complex. Without launching an investigation, he just smiled faintly and returned to the second floor.Hearing commotion upstairs, Eric guided Sylvia to his room.With many doubts lingering since her detention, Sylvia expected continuous confinement. Even when the Rogers family arrived to retrieve her, she thought it was just a change of location until she saw Eric.Eric elaborated, revealing the formidable power of the Rogers family in Phoenix City. The group that detained her was no ordinary enemy, yet the Rogers family had managed to resolve it."You've been through a lot," Sylvia said empathetically. She knew Eric had done everything to bring her home, and he had succeeded."We'll go back tomorro

If the room's door were kicked open, Eric would swiftly confront and eliminate the intruders. Thirty minutes later, only occasional gunshots echoed, signaling the conclusion of the intense battle.Sylvia remained anxious, uncertain about the victor.Who dared to launch a night assault on the Rogers family?A sudden knock on the door startled Eric. "Hol. Johnson, Ms. Williams, I apologize for the disturbance. The threat has been neutralized. Please rest assured," Brent told them.After such an ordeal, sleep eluded Eric and Sylvia.Eric spoke. "Mr. Rogers, my plane is still at Phoenix City Airport. Could you arrange for our return to King City tonight?"If it were only Eric, waiting until morning would suffice, but with Sylvia's safety in mind, immediate action was imperative.As for the Rogers family, Buck was lucid, Brent had assisted in bringing Sylvia back, and most matters had been resolved.The affairs of the Rogers family were no longer Eric's concern."Alright! I'll ar

Sylvia publicly denounced those responsible for her detention in Phoenix City, revealing that her adversaries aimed to strike against the Innova Group.The press conference was a live broadcast, quickly seizing the headlines and dominating the news.Reactions were mixed, with some applauding in relief while others grew concerned. Unbeknownst to many, Sylvia had returned to Salt City.In King City, the Hernandez and Montgomery families were influential, yet they still held a slightly lower status compared to the city's top four families: the McClains, Larsons, Watsons, and another one.-The living room inside the grand Larson mansion seemed somewhat empty, housing only two individuals.Owen Larson, the family head, sat with someone who, at first glance, bore a resemblance to Michael—none other than Shadow.The Combat Department never anticipated Shadow's return to King City, concealed within the Larson family.Their expressions turned grim upon learning of Sylvia's return thr

In the late evening.As the Innova employees gradually dispersed, Michael bid farewell to Eric and the others and arranged for a designated driver to take him back to his villa.The Innova Group, with its millions in annual salary and a luxurious villa, had fulfilled all of Michael's requirements. However, the value he brought to the company surpassed his compensation and living arrangements.Michael felt content and somewhat inebriated. He opened his villa door and immediately sensed something amiss, prompting him to become alert."Who goes there?" he demanded.Surveying the villa, Michael noticed someone on the sofa but remained composed despite the intrusion. After pouring a glass of water and taking a sip, he looked at the person on the sofa."Ms. Williams returned from Phoenix City, and the company held a celebration for her. Do you want some water?"The person on the sofa, bearing a resemblance to Michael, sighed. Despite Shadow's silence, Michael sat down, seemingly unfaz

Michael had interacted with Eric frequently, but he never anticipated that Eric could harm Shadow."Do you realize your mistake?" Shadow sneered. "You're aiding the enemy against me!"Michael remained unfazed.He sighed. "Brother, stop this. It won't end well. Do you really think you can control the world? In reality, you're just a pawn!""What about you? Aren't you just a pawn for the Innova Group as well?" Shadow retorted angrily.Before Michael could respond, Shadow attacked again. "As your elder brother, I'll teach you a lesson for Mom and Dad!""How dare you bring them up?!" Michael retorted with fury.The two brothers engaged in a fierce battle."You only care about the Crimson Order and martial arts! Mom and Dad were calling your name before they died! And what did you do?" Michael was indignant.After a punch that sent Shadow reeling, Michael didn't relent, shouting, "You self-centered fool! Mom and Dad never got to see you! You don't have the right to teach me a lesso
