Sylvia had just made a joke. Growing up in wealth, she didn't place much value on money. During her time at Williams Corp., her salary and benefits surpassed what she received at the Innova Group.

Eric remarked, "By the way, I noticed that Michael suffered internal injuries just now. I didn't expect him to know martial arts."

Eric was puzzled because Michael wasn't a local in Salt City. So, who had he clashed with last night?

Sylvia smiled. "Well, Michael came from an international company. Knowing martial arts is quite normal. Besides, it's not a bad thing. Many people want to harm us, so having some martial arts skills for self-defense is good."

Eric agreed with Sylvia's perspective. However, he still had many doubts. When Shadow came to Salt City, Ruth suspected that Michael was Shadow.

Considering their strikingly similar silhouettes, Eric wondered if Michael had some connection with Shadow. After all, until now, the three giants hadn't come looking for trouble with Michael.
