Mr. Sonnex, what are your thoughts on this?"Irvin nodded and replied, "He contacted me this afternoon.

Valerie shouted, but Roland didn't look back.Valerie wanted to leave the car, but Eric stopped her. "If you don't want to be a burden to your father, stay in the car!"Valerie turned and asked, "If you're good at fighting, why don't you go help my dad?"Eric glanced outside and saw the fight had already started. Calmly, he said, "Don't worry. Everything is under control."Despite Eric's calm demeanor, Valerie couldn't shake her unease.

"Let's go, Vince!" Eric said.Vince hurried to catch up with Eric. Roland had played a crucial role in neutralizing the Pettersons' armed forces, so he believed they needed to rescue them, regardless of potential dangers.Tiger exhaled deeply and summoned his own men to follow Eric. He instructed the person who had come for assistance to rally Roland's remaining forces to the Petterson manor.-The Petterson manor stood silent and cold, with leaves scattered by the entrance, left unattended.Eric entered without encountering any obstacles.Contrary to Tiger's warnings, it didn't seem as dangerous.

She had overheard his hurtful words moments ago, which left her heartbroken.In contrast, Roland appeared indifferent. He turned to Frederick and stated, "Might makes right. I didn't anticipate you hiding so well, Frederick. Nonetheless, I've embraced my fate ever since I ventured into the underworld."Afterward, he shifted his attention to Eric and implored, "Mr. Johnson, whether I live or die is unimportant. Please ensure Valerie's safety."Eric nodded.Observing this, Frederick laughed heartily. "Still claiming you don't care? Eric, today I'll give you a chance!""Go ahead!" Eric replied coldly.He wasn't sure of Frederick's intentions, but he understood that Frederick currently held the upper hand.
