Why did you look for me?" Eric asked.Sylvia also stared at Jasmine. She knew why Eric had called her over. Neither of them were the type to cling to grudges, and they had forgiven Jasmine after so long had passed.In Sylvia's view, it seemed unlikely that Eric would rekindle a past relationship that had yielded no results for nine years."Well, I..."

Sylvia asked, pleasantly surprised that the Combat Department would acknowledge her.Eric smiled. "Why not? You're the reason Ruth, Big Boss, and I are here. Your contributions are indispensable. We admire your courage and determination. Even when Big Boss was captured and Ruth and I fled to Phoenix City, you still had the guts to stand up to Dante. So, of course, you're getting a reward."Sylvia played a truly vital role in this event. After receiving various items from

Pierce recognized the impracticality of applying the same rules to Eric as the established members, leading him to grant Eric special privileges.Eric would join the mission only during significant Combat Department operations requiring his combat prowess. The rest of the time, Eric had the flexibility to arrange his schedule as he wished.The privileges were substantial, and Pierce knew that typical missions might not make the best use of Eric's extraordinary skills.-Back home, Sylvia carefully observed Eric and exclaimed, "You look really good in this outfit! Our family has produced an extraordinary figure!"She hadn't expected Eric to reach the current level of success. She still remembered when he first contacted her—he had been struggling with the pressure of 30,000 dollars. Reality proved that she had not misjudged him or chosen the wrong person.Eric smiled. "Don't flatter me too much. Otherwise, I might become arrogant!"Faced with such power, Eric couldn't deny feelin

"Your tireless efforts and backing have been instrumental in the Innova Group's progress. When I assumed the role of CEO, I specified that the company wouldn't distribute dividends for the first five years."The initial employees who stayed with us still hold shares. While dividends can't be distributed, I assure you of fair treatment. Unfortunately, the three major investors in the Innova Group will experience a minor setback."The three significant investors were easily identifiable among the audience

Keith asked, surprised."Of course," Sylvia replied. "Everyone here today gets a share!"Upon hearing that, Sylvester chuckled and rolled up his sleeves. "Well then, let's go! Despite the saying that there's no such thing as a free lunch, who'd pass up the chance to seize such a fantastic opportunity and make a fortune?"They joined the crowd, and the money-grabbing event continued for hours.In the end, high-level executives like Michael, Andy, Sylvia, Eric, and investors like Grace, Henry, and Irvin symbolically took away 1,000 dollars each.When planning the event, Andy had thought ahead and invited

Cassius filled the glasses and said, "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bikman, thank you for coming here. Let's have a toast!"After the toast, Cassius' face was a bit flushed. During the meal, he praised the Innova Group's achievements endlessly.
