Chapter 193
Sylvia knew exactly when Eric had begun his martial arts journey. Initially, he was inexperienced, and his previous environment wasn't conducive to martial arts training. Furthermore, if Eric were a true martial arts expert, he could have defeated her long ago, given the promises she had made.Tyson said, "Well then, bring him over later. I'll assess his skills."Sylvia had the same idea.After discussing a few matters with Tyson, she returned to Williams Corp. and invited Eric. Together, they headed to a quiet park.The park was empty in the morning, making it perfect for Tyson and Eric to exchange a few moves. From a distance, Eric spotted Tyson standing as firm as a post."That's my master, and you should address him as such," Sylvia instructed Eric.Eric nodded, and they approached Tyson. Just as he was about to address Tyson as "master," he was taken by surprise by Tyson's sudden attack—a Jab Punch and a lunge at Eric.Eric was shocked. While he had been practicing martial

In the car, Eric exclaimed, "Your master is awesome! I couldn't find any openings in his techniques."Sylvia smiled. She believed Eric had great potential in martial arts—he just needed more exposure to various techniques. If he trained more with her master, his skills would surely improve significantly, and defeating her would only be a matter of time.After spending some time at Williams Corp., two uniformed individuals approached them. Eric appeared mildly surprised, wondering if there had been a breakthrough in the case.As expected, one of them stated, "We matched the fingerprints from the clues you provided. Your car's perpetrator that day was your third uncle, Jared Johnson.""W-What?!" Eric was shocked.While it wouldn't have shocked him if it were Richard, Jared was the last person he expected. In his memory, Jared had always been timid. How could he commit such a reckless act?The police officer continued. "We also located the vehicle involved in your father's hit-and-r

Eric was amazed by Tyson's skills. "This is Krav Maga!" Tyson shouted, "It utilizes elbow and shoulder strikes. Watch closely!" He slammed his shoulder into a tree, and the tree crashed down with a loud noise, startling Eric. It made Eric realize that Tyson was truly a master of martial arts. Even though Tyson was over 60 years old, he could topple a tree with a single shoulder strike.If that tree were a person, their ribs would have been shattered.After showcasing these martial arts moves, drops of sweat started forming on Tyson's forehead. He sighed and said, "I'm growing old. They say moves are best practiced in youth. I truly envy you, young folks."Despite training in martial arts for decades and effortlessly defeating three to five strong men, he had to acknowledge his aging body had its limitations. He wouldn't have broken a sweat while demonstrating these moves in his youth.Sylvia quickly complimented him. "Master, you're not old at all. There aren't many people in t

The first and second attempts were completely different.Tyson was in awe, his mouth slightly agape. "That's the energy burst! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that someone could unleash an energy burst in their second attempt! Sylvia, you've found a treasure!"Tyson was ecstatic. As a prominent figure in the Salt City martial arts world, he knew exactly what was happening with Eric. Perhaps in 10 years, he would revolutionize the entire martial arts world!Sylvia grinned. "Then, you'll need to put more effort into nurturing him properly, Master."After that, she turned and looked at Eric. He shone like a bright star, and his potential was not yet fully tapped.As Eric approached the end of his practice, he executed a palm strike, aiming it at a tree with a bowl-sized trunk. Although he didn't shatter it, he managed to split the tree trunk. Such a forceful strike on a person would cause either a fatal injury or serious harm."Master, how about a few rounds
Chapter 197
Eric hadn't seen David since their encounter at the entrance of Williams Corp.Westman Technology had gone bankrupt, and most of its employees had shifted to Innova Tech. Innova was a fair employer, offering regular commission structures and weekends and holidays off. For former Westman employees, joining Innova felt like paradise.Eric could not understand what threat David still posed.Big Sis said, "David has gone back to his old ways. I heard from others that he has recently gathered a group of henchmen, probably around 20-something of them. I'm worried he might seek revenge against you."After all, David's current situation resulted from Eric's actions. He had taken Big Sis to Westman Technology to expose him, which caused him to lose his biggest backer. Subsequently, he secured a project with Williams Corp, which led to David embarrassing himself in front of his peers and, ultimately, the downfall of Westman Technology.There was no way David would not harbor any resentment
Chapter 198
Richard clenched his jaw, struggling to find the right words. He had arrived with anger, determined to confront Eric and Sylvia. He knew Jared's arrest had happened because the truth had surfaced. Eric held the key to Jared's fate now, but Richard couldn't plead.After a prolonged internal struggle, he finally sighed and lowered his head. "Eric, we weren't good to you in the past, and I'm here to apologize. We're deeply sorry for our actions, and we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. Please, don't make this harder than it already is."Eric chuckled and replied, "Uncle Richard, we bear no grudges. We've forgiven you for those false accusations online. Besides, you've compensated us generously. We'll handle the rest ourselves, so don't worry. If you have nothing else, you can go, Uncle Richard."Richard was rendered speechless. He hadn't been referring to the online smears when he came here. Those were minor issues compared to what had happened to Jared. But he couldn't

No matter what they did, they remained his brothers.Just as Eric was about to tell Blake what had occurred, his phone abruptly rang.After picking up, the officer in charge briefed him on the progress of the case. A deep sigh escaped him upon hearing the news. This turn of events had genuinely surprised him.Seeing everyone's gaze upon him, Eric explained, "I just received a call from the police. They found Uncle Jared's fingerprints on the car that struck Dad. He confessed to everything after being arrested."The car he used to hit Dad was provided by Kayden, who operates a used car business in the city. He also supplied the car that caused our accident. Both car accidents were planned by Uncle Richard and carried out by Uncle Jared."Blake and Elly were filled with disappointment.Eric continued. "The police also inquired about their motive. They claimed they had received news long ago that our family's land would be expropriated. I'm adopted, so they intended to use that as a
Chapter 200
Blake only knew that Eric had borrowed 10,000 dollars, but he had no idea about the hospital expenses.Eric glanced at Sylvia, uncertain about the exact hospital costs.Sylvia replied, "Including the 10,000 dollars you paid, the total expenses were around 40,000 dollars."Blake was shocked by the amount. However, private hospital wards were costly compared to an ICU. Considering over 20 days of hospitalization, the 40,000 dollars expenses seemed reasonable.Regaining his composure, Blake nodded and said, "If you want us to drop the charges, give us 300,000 dollars.""What?" Although Gavin had a seven-figure salary, coming up with 300,000 dollars was still a significant challenge. "Uncle Blake, can we negotiate a lower amount?"Blake chuckled and replied coldly, "Are we at a market? There is no room for negotiation. 300,000 dollars, not a cent less! How the court decides is their problem!"They would have asked for the medical expenses if Gavin hadn't approached them. Blake deman
