They all knew Eric possessed remarkable martial arts skills, but now he faced Dante, a seasoned Lieutenant General of the Combat Department.Just a month ago, Dante had successfully framed legendary figures like Pierce and Shadow. Dante was undoubtedly formidable, yet he was unable to withstand a single punch from Eric.He flew dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, unable to raise his arm.Pierce and his group arrived at that moment. Witnessing Dante lying on the ground coughing blood, even Pierce couldn't help but be astonished. They were only two or three minutes behind Dante, yet Eric had already taken care of him.After the initial shock, Pierce waved his hand and ordered, "Take Dante away!"Since a major threat had been neutralized, Pierce felt relieved. Dante had colluded with Shadow, and the latter held evidence against him. If Shadow decided to use this leverage later, the consequences would be unimaginable.As Dante was taken away

After spending several months abroad, Eric had no major concerns but did find himself thinking about certain people.The following day, after a gathering with Pierce and the members of the Combat Department, Eric made preparations to return to Salt City.While in Phoenix City, aside from missing Sylvia, Eric also longed to be with his aging parents in Nutikiville. Despite their occasional visits, time constraints prevented him from spending as much time with them as he wished.Eric and Sylvia extended their stay in King City for a few days due to Seraphine and Sylvester's visit.-Before Sylvia departed King City, she left a few key executives to manage ongoing projects, and both she and Eric returned to Salt City.Eric's parents had already returned to Nutikiville a few days earlier.For the older generation, the comfort of staying in their hometown was unparalleled. They had spent the majority of their lives there, so the sentimental attachment was too strong to break.Upon t

"What do you mean?" Richard asked. Placing his hand on Delilah's forehead, he pressed on, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if he's wealthy, he won't give us a penny!""Oh my god, you're such an idiot!" Delilah retorted. "Didn't you just say he was wanted? There's a lot of money for providing information about wanted criminals!"While talking, she pulled out her phone and called the police.Once the call connected, she hurried back into the house, shouting excitedly, "The wanted fugitive you're looking for has come to Nutikiville! He's killing chickens at home now!"Her excitement was palpable. The thought of the thick stack of money awaiting her barely allowed her to calm down.After the call, Delilah clutched her phone tightly, exclaiming, "We're going to be rich! We're really going to be rich, Richard!"Richard felt a surge of happiness, though a pang of regret hit him for not considering this earlier. If the funds arrived later, Delilah was unlikely to share a single

Gritting her teeth in resentment, Delilah looked at the two police officers and said, "Officers, are you sure? Weren't you constantly searching for him the past few days? Why aren't you pursuing him anymore?"The police officer chuckled and replied, "Yes, I'm certain. The warrant against him was revoked a few days ago. He's no longer a wanted fugitive, and there's no so-called reward."Delilah was stunned.The officers didn't say much and left after informing Delilah that Eric was no longer wanted.Sylvia took a bite of the carrot and asked, "Eric, why were the police at Delilah's house?"Eric glanced at the two police officers leaving in their car. "Who cares? What they do has nothing to do with us anyway."He had heard about the incident of Delilah and Richard throwing cow dung. It was quite ridiculous. Even though they were close relatives, they always found ways to make things difficult for him.-In the afternoon, Hank and his wife also came for lunch."This is great!" Ha

The reason for agreeing to meet Jasmine was that they had been in a relationship for nearly nine years.In the office, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Jasmine occasionally glanced at Eric. In her heart, she wondered if Sylvia's position would have been hers if she had not had not cheated on Eric and dumped him two years ago.However, she had no idea that Sylvia was the Williams heiress, let alone that Eric and Sylvia were high school classmates.Jasmine's face showed signs of hardships during this time."So, what's the matter? Why did you look for me?" Eric asked.Sylvia also stared at Jasmine. She knew why Eric had called her over. Neither of them were the type to cling to grudges, and they had forgiven Jasmine after so long had passed.In Sylvia's view, it seemed unlikely that Eric would rekindle a past relationship that had yielded no results for nine years."Well, I..." Jasmine bit her lip. "I want to borrow some money from you. Eric, you know my situation. I don't have

Eric and Sylvia resumed their normal lives. Regarding the matter with Jasmine, after borrowing money from them, she stopped bothering Eric and Sylvia.One day, Pierce called, asking Eric and Sylvia to go to King City. The issue involving Dante had officially concluded. Following Eric's altercation with him at the Montgomery residence, Dante was incapacitated. Even if he recovered, his martial prowess was gone.While not sentenced to death, Dante would spend the rest of his life in prison."Do I get a reward too?" Sylvia asked, pleasantly surprised that the Combat Department would acknowledge her.Eric smiled. "Why not? You're the reason Ruth, Big Boss, and I are here. Your contributions are indispensable. We admire your courage and determination. Even when Big Boss was captured and Ruth and I fled to Phoenix City, you still had the guts to stand up to Dante. So, of course, you're getting a reward."Sylvia played a truly vital role in this event. After receiving various items from

Pierce recognized the impracticality of applying the same rules to Eric as the established members, leading him to grant Eric special privileges.Eric would join the mission only during significant Combat Department operations requiring his combat prowess. The rest of the time, Eric had the flexibility to arrange his schedule as he wished.The privileges were substantial, and Pierce knew that typical missions might not make the best use of Eric's extraordinary skills.-Back home, Sylvia carefully observed Eric and exclaimed, "You look really good in this outfit! Our family has produced an extraordinary figure!"She hadn't expected Eric to reach the current level of success. She still remembered when he first contacted her—he had been struggling with the pressure of 30,000 dollars. Reality proved that she had not misjudged him or chosen the wrong person.Eric smiled. "Don't flatter me too much. Otherwise, I might become arrogant!"Faced with such power, Eric couldn't deny feelin

Sylvia wasted no time and bluntly stated, "The Innova Group owes its current success and growth to the unwavering dedication and support of everyone gathered here."In this declaration, she explicitly acknowledged the efforts of all attendees, extending her gratitude to even the janitors and security personnel.Notably, participants like Vince and Matthew, who were not part of the Innova Group, were also recognized for their involvement in the year-end conference.Sylvia continued. "Your tireless efforts and backing have been instrumental in the Innova Group's progress. When I assumed the role of CEO, I specified that the company wouldn't distribute dividends for the first five years."The initial employees who stayed with us still hold shares. While dividends can't be distributed, I assure you of fair treatment. Unfortunately, the three major investors in the Innova Group will experience a minor setback."The three significant investors were easily identifiable among the audience
