Francis was astounded. The figure collapsed to the ground, blood spilling from their lips, and cast a fleeting glance at Francis before exhaling their final breath.How could someone die without a sound amidst the vigilant experts guarding the villa tonight?!"Who's there?!" Francis bellowed, attempting to steel his resolve.Before his voice could echo, a resounding bang reverberated through the air. The courtyard gate was forcefully thrust open.Eric and his entourage strode in, prompting Francis to furrow his brow. While Eric wasn't familiar to him, the looming shadows outside hinted at a sizable group. Several experts were following Eric, advancing directly toward Francis.Eric fixed his gaze on Francis. "Francis, the leader of the Oberdeens!"Francis gulped, a flicker of recognition stirring within him. After a moment of contemplation, it dawned on him."You... You're... Derek from the Association's team?" Eric nodded. "Indeed. Seize him!"Francis' expression contorted in

Francis found his mind overwhelmed. Logically, Eric shouldn't be present in King City at this time. To ensure the plan's smooth execution, he had dispatched Queenie to handle Eric, attempting to sow discord between Eric and the Williams. Unfortunately, the attempt had failed.Eric didn't respond directly to Francis' question. Instead, he surveyed the house and asked, "Who assaulted Mr. Hernandez?"Francis' heart skipped a beat as he realized Eric sought revenge for Julius. He hastily gestured toward the two men who had previously guarded Francis and replied, "Those two attacked him!"Eric nodded. "Drag them out and break their shins!""Understood!"Several individuals behind Eric stepped forward and forcibly removed the two men. Within moments, their agonized screams pierced the air, sending shivers down Francis' spine. Relieved that Eric didn't press for further details, Francis heaved a sigh.At that moment, the captain of the Combat Department approached. "Lieutenant General

Francis was also brought outside. Upon hearing the man speak, his face instantly turned pale as if all life had drained from it. He knew he was done for."I'm the one who released the virus at Dortmund City," the man said.Eric strongly desired to dismantle the man before him to resolve the resentment in his heart. However, he also knew he could not kill the man before him.Francis shouted, "Eric! This has nothing to do with my family!""It has nothing to do with your family? Do you think I'm a fool?" Eric retorted. "You better shut up now before it's too late."Francis hurriedly lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.The man continued. "The Oberdeens are just a pawn for us. We released the virus at Dortmund to test the lethality of the genetic weapon. Earning money was only secondary."Understanding instantly dawned upon Eric. It was as he and Sylvia had speculated from the beginning. They would release the virus first, then the cure, so they could make a huge profit!This

Chapter 1178
Queenie arrived at the Combat Department's prison to meet Francis. Her emotions toward him were complex. Their relationship had been normal before she became pregnant with Coulson.However, Francis' actions, along with the Oberdeens after Coulson's birth, left her with lingering resentment that persisted to this day. What worsened matters was the Oberdeens' attempt to manipulate her to cause discord between Eric and the Williams.Queenie now understood the Oberdeens' motives. They knew about Eric's prominence in holistic medicine and the virus outbreaks in Dortmund City and Salt City. Thus, their priority was to eliminate Eric.When Francis saw Queenie, Connor, and Coulson, his eyes brightened. Before Queenie could speak, he beat her to it. "Queenie, perfect timing! Ask Connor to talk to Eric! Our families have a strong bond! There's no need for conflict!"He hoped Queenie would advocate for them. Connor had briefed Queenie about Eric's various identities and cautiously inquired ab
Chapter 1179
Upon hearing this, Queenie's eyes welled with tears.Despite her strained relationship with Francis, she couldn't deny their shared familial bond. The years of nurturing love couldn't be erased in an instant. People were inherently emotional, and the connection between a father and daughter was deeply ingrained.-In the afternoon, Connor and Queenie returned to Salt City.Meanwhile, the batch of drugs produced by the Oberdeens was swiftly shipped to Dortmund City and Salt City.Eric had remained in King City as the interrogation process was ongoing. He brought Leopard to visit Seth. Jaden had entered junior high school with Leopard's help and lived not far from the school. After Jaden had enrolled in junior high school, Seth's days became even more monotonous.Eric and Leopard bought some fruit and visited Seth."You don't have to come visit me so often," Seth said, passing a cigarette to Leopard. "Driving in this big city burns a lot of fuel."Seth was deeply grateful to Leop

Alexander sighed and said, "Eric, what's done is done. We all know that your father doesn't have a good relationship with his current wife. For so many years, they haven't had a child, and back then, he was forced to marry that woman."It's understandable that people often resort to desperate measures during emergency times. But things might be different now if he hadn't married that woman back then. Anyway, not everyone can decide what they want in their life. Many times, circumstances force their hands." Eric remained silent. He understood the logic behind what Alexander was saying but could not accept it. He had thought about forgiving Julius, but it seemed impossible for him to do so.Naturally, he was aware that he was also protecting Julius subconsciously. Otherwise, he would not have instructed someone to break the bones of the ones who had beaten Julius up. "Uncle Alexander, let's not talk about it," Eric said. "He's not a child anymore, and as the saying goes, 'You reap

Sylvia said, "It's okay, Mom. We can take care of our daughter ourselves. Besides, nobody is born knowing how to take care of a child. I've already informed people that we'll set up a nursery at our house after the lockdown is lifted. There won't be any issues!" Amelia chuckled. "Do you think taking care of a child is that simple? Wiping their bottoms and changing diapers are just routine operations! Some children like to cry at night, just like Brook and Connor. Back then, it took a lot of effort for me to take care of them. Your father had to manage the company, and I was overwhelmed. Sometimes, I was so tired that I felt like crying!"She knew that her daughter had not experienced such things. After all, taking care of a child was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.She continued. "Infants have weak immunity, and it's common for them to cry and fuss when they have a fever. It can be exhausting! I don't think you can handle that. Besides, I've already decided which brand o
