Eric grinned, pointing at his head. "Big Bro, have you forgotten my photographic memory?"Pierce suddenly remembered that and carefully stored the book.Eric then handed Stealthbane over to Pierce. He wasn't worried about Pierce harming Stealthbane—there was no need.The Combat Department also had no evidence regarding Stealthbane. More importantly, Eric knew Pierce was a person of great vision and could make use of someone like Stealthbane!After arranging matters concerning Stealthbane, Eric returned to Salt City the same day.-Sylvia was very happy. "You're back?"She knew Eric had traveled from Dortmund City to King City, and something must have happened during that time."I'm back!" Eric lightly hugged Sylvia and then held Yvette in his arms. "Yvette, do you miss Daddy?"He pinched Yvette's nose.Amelia saw this scene and hurried over. "Don't pinch Yvette's nose. If she grows up with a low nose bridge, she won't look good!"Eric smiled and didn't say much. The older ge

Eric's back was indeed giving him some trouble, mainly from being overly tired the night before.Fortunately, today was the weekend, with no pressing matters to attend to.After breakfast, Eric delved into the contents of the third book for quite some time, finally feeling a bit more comfortable. He thought about discussing things with Tyson, but the old man was enjoying his retirement, off on another trip.-In the afternoon, Eric and Sylvia brought their children to Elly's house. Jacob was there too, lounging on the sofa with earphones in, one hand clutching his phone while the other tapped away at the screen.Spotting Eric and Sylvia, he scrambled to his feet, grinning, and retreated to his room."What's up with him? Why's he grinning like an idiot staring at his phone?" Eric asked, finding it rather odd.Sometimes, sitting there giggling at a phone made one seem like a fool to others."Who knows?" Elly said, shaking her head. "He bought a stroller for the baby and some toys

"On the Internet, it may not be realistic, but as long as I give her a gift, she starts calling me 'honey' all sweetly!" Jacob exclaimed."Don't worry, bro, I only look for those little-known streamers. It won't cost much," Jacob assured him.Blake shook his head in disbelief.But everyone had their own way of life. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, Andy wouldn't interfere much.Eric coughed, saying, "Jacob, I heard these online female streamers heavily rely on beauty filters. Even an Ugly Betty can turn into a stunning beauty.""Something you can't see or touch, isn't it intriguing? Who knows? That female streamer you're watching might actually be a burly man with pretty filters," Eric remarked.The thought made Andy nearly gag."Eric, could you refrain from such topics?" Andy pleaded.Jacob sighed. "I know it sounds absurd, but they're very attractive! It's just a way to pass the time. Besides, what if one of them takes a liking to me? I heard you can meet them offline!"

"Who processed the passports?" Eric felt completely numb.This time, he and Ruth went to Catellon under the guise of tourism. Passing through customs earlier, he noticed that the passport information indicated that he and Ruth were listed as a married couple.Ruth glanced at Eric, saying, "It was done by them. This mission has some secrecy involved, so this arrangement is just to better conceal our identities.""I'm telling you, a spinster like me doesn't care. What's it to you, a grown man?"Eric was speechless.After a moment, he said, "Sean is getting older. When I was there some time ago, he asked me to find him a girlfriend. At that moment, you were the first person I thought of, but he said he couldn't handle someone like you!""What are you trying to say?" Ruth stared at Eric. She always felt that Eric's words carried a sting.Eric chuckled. "You're not getting any younger. Work is important, but life events are even more crucial. You should hurry up and find a man to mar

When the two arrived in Catellon, it was still noon.The hotel had been prepared for them in advance.What surprised Eric was that he and Ruth only had one room!Once they entered the suite, Ruth promptly occupied the master bedroom, saying, "I'm a woman, so you have to accommodate me. You can sleep on the sofa, or if you're not afraid of explaining to your wife, you can sleep in my room."Oh, by the way, this hotel was fully booked days in advance, so there shouldn't be any other rooms available. If you want to call someone over, I can temporarily vacate the room. I promise not to say anything when we return home!"With that, she entered the room, seemingly intent on resting. Eric wasn't buying it. He picked up the landline and dialed the front desk, but what he heard left him stunned.The hotel indeed had no other vacant rooms. He had no choice but to make do for now. However, he couldn't focus on anything else. The night before they came to Catellon, Sylvia had exhausted him

Eric absolutely did it on purpose!Even after Ruth said she didn't have a boyfriend, Eric still had the nerve to ask about her boyfriend?! If that wasn't intentional, then what was it?Ruth was nearly going crazy. "I'm telling you, Eric, are you trying to get yourself killed? Believe me, tomorrow I'll call Sylvia and tell her you harassed me!"Hmph! Then when she kicks you out of the house, it'll save me some trouble!"Eric was petrified!He knew Ruth would probably do something like that. This woman was just insatiable.Eric shook his head. "It looks like I won't be sleeping tonight, to avoid being defiled." Ruth gritted her teeth in fury.Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do."I'll lock the door later." Ruth glared at Eric, "You better get some rest too. We have work to do tomorrow."She actually wanted to focus on work, so she wouldn't think about all this mess.-A night passed without words.The next morning, two people arrived at the hotel.They were both

Ruth continued. "Now we have ample evidence. Our purpose in Catellon is twofold. Firstly, to hold Genome Inc. accountable.""So many people in Dortmund City have died, so many families shattered. Among them, many were the backbone of their families. With the pillar gone, they can't even sustain themselves."The Combat Department has compiled statistics on such families. There are quite a few. We provide them with assistance and offer job opportunities. But now that we've found the instigators, we must make the prime culprit pay first! It's the biggest trouble for those families."The second objective is to bring the CEO of this company, as well as some of the top executives, to justice! Let them face trial in our country!"Eric nodded.When they came, he already understood the mission.Both tasks were daunting, but they had to be completed.Eric looked at Ruth. "Have you made a plan?"Ruth shook her head. "My mentor said you would decide when we reached Catellon."Eric fell si

Late into the night, Kurt arrived in Catellon.Upon reaching the hotel and spotting Eric, he finally breathed a sigh of relief."Mr. Johnson!" But he was still shaken. "I almost died on the way here!"Kurt trembled. He knew coming here meant risking his life, but staying away was no guarantee of safety either. In such a dilemma, he had to seize whatever chance he had."There were gunshots fired at me when I got off the plane, blatantly open! And my phone, it's filled with death threats!" Kurt exclaimed.Eric chuckled. "Is that supposed to scare you? You've barely even arrived. But I'm curious, you fear for your life in Catellon, yet in our territory, you seemed fearless?"He was questioning Kurt's integrity. Catellon was just a small country, even as an affiliate of Faustaria, could it compare to the other superpowers?Taking a deep breath, Kurt replied, "Mr. Johnson, haven't you always been accommodating?"Eric sneered. "What kind of logic is that? Being accommodating means in
