However, Alvarez's focus wasn't on Sylvia's figure and beauty, but on the bracelet adorning her wrist.Alvarez frowned. "Uncle Hunter, do you still remember the family heirloom? The matriarch's bracelet."Hunter's expression shifted slightly. "Of course, I remember. Seeing her bracelet is like seeing the matriarch herself, but that bracelet has been lost for many years. It's said that it was taken away by the branch that went to King City."Some members of the family agree to abolish this rule, but others oppose it. Fortunately, that thing hasn't appeared since then, or it might have sparked a new family dispute."The Hernandez family, a prestigious lineage, was quite intricate.Consider the matriarch's bracelet, for instance. Some argued that catching a glimpse of the bracelet was akin to encountering the matriarch herself, while others were steadfast in their desire to overturn this tradition.Yet, their efforts never bore fruit.A mere sentence could shatter their resolve: If

'Going to the bathroom?'Roco bolted out of his office without a moment's pause. He dashed away, not stopping until he was well clear of the Innova Group. After all, the brawl had nothing to do with him, he hadn't participated. They couldn't possibly pin anything on him, could they?As for Alvarez?He was beyond Roco's jurisdiction now—he had no say in this matter. The sight of several police cars pulling in as he left the Innova Group only added to his relief. He also noticed over 20 heavily armed individuals disembarking from the vehicles.Real trouble was brewing!Alvarez and his cohorts were oblivious to the police's arrival.Roco didn't make any calls to notify them. Otherwise, they'd trace it back to him, and he'd be in cuffs! He couldn't let everything go down the drain.-Meanwhile, in Eric's office,As Eric mentioned compensation, Alvarez burst into laughter. It was as if he had heard the most amusing joke. Pay up? That was as likely as a sow climbing a tree by hers

Who could produce so much wealth?The Hernandez family hadn't accumulated such riches over the years, so they felt it was necessary to take over the Innova Group. It was worth a fortune!After taking over, the Hernandez family wouldn't have to worry about funds anymore."What do you think?" Eric chuckled. "Have you considered the position of the Innova Group in the industry? Let alone 20 billion dollars, even if we set the price at 30 billion dollars now, the top three international manufacturers would immediately come up with the money for acquisition! No bargaining!"Monopoly reaped substantial profits, a fact well understood by the three giants.Before the rise of the Innova Group, they could dictate prices for their equipment without restraint.Their competitors had no alternatives.With the emergence of the Innova Group, equipment prices nosedived—failure to adjust prices meant losing market share.Clearly, eliminating the Innova Group would greatly benefit the three giant

Eric's office was surrounded, and the people outside thought that the Hernandez family was holding Eric hostage.Hunter's face turned ugly. Listening to the shouts, he discerned it wasn't a SWAT team—the military had arrived!"A-Alvarez..." His lips trembled. "Should we surrender?"The people outside must all be armed. If they really opened fire, no matter how skilled one were, they'd end up riddled with bullets. Surrender might be the only way out.Hunter understood that.Who could endure being confronted by police with guns at any slight provocation? Even with some martial arts skills, could one beat someone with a gun? Could one beat ten? Even if one were fast, could they be faster than bullets?Alvarez looked at Eric with a grave expression. "Did you call the police?"He hated it! 'This bastard dared to call the police?!'Eric smiled. "I haven't reached the point of needing to call the police yet. You guys attacked the security guard at the entrance. He definitely called th

The captain waved his hand and then approached Eric. "Mr. Johnson, are you all right?"Eric waved it off. "If you hadn't come, I would've had to come up with an excuse to handle them myself."He gestured toward Alvarez. "That guy tried to grab me as a hostage. I sent him flying. You deal with them yourselves."The captain nodded. He knew Eric's capabilities—three or five people couldn't even get close to him.He had heard about this from Robert. Now that Robert had ascended to a higher position, he had naturally informed his subordinates about Eric. Despite being just the founder of the Innova Group on the surface, that didn't define him!One just needed to know that 4 SWAT teams weren't enough to subdue him. If one didn't mess with Eric, they'd be fine.Alvarez's group was taken away.The aristocratic Hernandez family's fate had been sealed the moment they came to Salt City. At the entrance of the Innova Group, Roco watched as Alvarez's group was escorted into police cars. He

Investment in Salt City was still necessary and unavoidable. Generating some tax revenue and job opportunities for Salt City would be quite beneficial.However, this matter required careful consideration. What if the Hernandez family invested and didn't make a profit? How would they handle it?Besides, saving Alvarez didn't necessarily require pouring money into it. They first hired a lawyer to see if the legal route could resolve the issue.-Jacob had become quite clever. He first went to the hospital to obtain a medical report. Losing two teeth was no minor injury. He also hired a lawyer and demanded 150,000 dollars in compensation, including emotional damages.In his words: "I was working diligently, and you slapped me as soon as you came, sending me flying four or five meters away and knocking out several of my teeth. Do you know how much that slap hurt my fragile soul? It's not just physical assault—it has caused immense psychological damage."The Hernandez family's lawyers

'Isn't it easy to cause misunderstandings?'He glanced at Lora, noticing that the scar on her face had healed quite well—it was barely visible now.Things seemed to be settling down, and there wasn't much for them to talk about.Yet, Lora always found a topic. "Did you notice? We seem to have some sort of Catellonian school in Salt City, and it's quite mysterious. No one except Catellonians are allowed inside!"That caught Eric's interest. "Oh, really?""What's the deal with that? As far as the eye can see, this is Naturia's territory. They build a school on our land and won't let our people in?"It seemed rather absurd to him.Many schools didn't allow random members of society inside, but shouldn't educators and teachers be exceptions? No one except Catellonians?They were treating the school as Catellon's territory? What kind of logic was that?Lora nodded. "That's how it is. I heard it from the principal. They even use their own textbooks, and the name they chose is quite

Lora fancied herself fearless. She believed in the triumph of justice over evil, that light would dispel darkness. But this was always the most optimistic perspective.Regardless of the era or circumstances, darkness and light, justice and evil coexisted— neither could be absent. When old evils vanished, new ones inevitably arose, just as dawn dispelled darkness, only for darkness to return.Lora didn't know how to respond.Was she afraid? Undoubtedly.Someone as formidable as Eric still had troublemakers seeking him out, proving they were truly wicked. But to say she wouldn't dare approach Eric? That would be untrue.Yet, Lora dared not say that.Sylvia smiled. "I know what fascinates you about Eric. Women admire the strong, just as beauties admire heroes. Actually, this is understandable, but the price to pay, I imagine, is not something an ordinary person can bear."The Pentras slashed your face and neck back then. Perhaps you see it as a severe injury, but let me tell you: y
