359:Be The Woman In The Middle
Hours later, Eric alighted from the plane in Brooklyn. Jackson was already waiting for him.It was raining, so the old man ran towards him with an umbrella. Every other person, too, had an umbrella in their hands."Good evening sir," Jackson greeted, smiles written all over his face."Old man, how have you been doing?" Eric nodded slightly, following Jackson to the car."Sir, I've been fine," Jackson smiled, then sighed.The sigh hid a lot of things. He wondered how Eric was able to stay calm. His company had been led completely bankrupt and he was swimming in over a billion debts, yet the latter still looked calm.How was he able to do it? He knew just how much Eric must have spent to buy the company and then the years it had taken for him to research the formula for asthma.And yet, all because someone was not okay with the fact that he had a complete cure for the disease, targeted him, and brought him down to his knees.The world was cruel. He had always known that the world was c
358:Emergency Mission
(Two Days Later)"Emily, here's a martial arts manual, movement techniques, and also some other things for you," Eric handed Emily a little book,"Also, here's your necklace," He continued, giving Emily a necklace."Here are yours too," Eric smiles gently, disturbing the materials around.He made sure to compile different types of martial arts techniques, movement techniques, and others for his women.He was sure they would practice diligently and not disappoint him. He was very sure of this.They all wanted to help him but we're all too weak, so they were pretty sad about this."And this is for you, Charlotte," Eric handed a small book to Charlotte, who took it with a little bit of confusion written on her face.She didn't need all of these that Eric was handing out. As part of the defense force, she had her hands on some powerful manuals."That's a Cultivation technique, the complete Cultivation technique you are cultivating. Also, it has been improved, so it's a thousand times bett
357:Don't You Care?
The women watched; their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, seeing Eric eat.At first, they wanted to stop him and yell, asking if he was insensitive or if he didn't care about his company, which was crumbling.But seeing the way he was wolfing down the meal like someone who had been starving for days, they swallowed all they had to say and could only watch while tears trickled down their face.It was not because he was not concerned about what was happening, or maybe because he was not in pain.In fact, he was the one who felt the most pain. After all, that was his sweat and hard work. Yes someone had conspired, bringing it down in less than a day.How would he feel? Most probably devastated. Realizing this, they found Eric rather strange. Even at that, a bit of emotion didn't show on his face, it was as though nothing was happening.Having no other choice, Aunt Mary stood up from where she was sitting and scooped more food into the plate."Eat more," She whispered softly, at t
356:Everyone Breaking Down
"Huh?" Everyone froze upon hearing this; their eyes bulged, and they staggered backward, each of them almost falling."Are...are you sure about what you just said..." Chole stuttered, her eyes wide with disbelief, still not knowing what to do."I reckon he didn't tell you. But that was the reason he came to Brooklyn the other time. He went to check on the company as it was facing trouble, and he resolved it, then came back," Charlotte sighed.At this moment, a still silence descended in the room, no one knew what to say.Even if they wanted to talk, they couldn't find their mouth to say anything.Eric obviously had a lot of companies, it was just right if they didn't know about it. After all, they had no right snooping their nose into his business.At the moment, they all had different things running through their heads, all racking their brains, wanting to help.That was a whole empire that had crumbled. They couldn't imagine how much he had lost and he was still losing. They wanted
355:Charlotte's Discovery
"Where's your brother? He's not home yet," Aunt Mary glanced at Emily, who was gobbling up her meal."I don't know; I think Aunt Evelyn should know; after all, she was the one who went to meet him this morning. Also, Aunt Sophia should know," Emily grumbled, glancing at Sophia and Emily."He didn't stay long at the company. He left and I don't know where he went," Sophia shook her head, food stuffed in her mouth."His phone is switched off also," Evelyn added, a frown appeared on her face as she dropped her phone.After leaving Eric, she had gone to apprehend some criminals, in the end, Eric had helped them apprehend the criminals, so she wondered where he had gone.It was already late at night and he was not back yet. What the hell could be wrong."You all don't need to be scared; Eric is strong enough to protect himself from any form of danger," Jake broke the silence at this moment, and everyone couldn't help but nod.But for some reason, none of them felt comfortable. They could t
354:Grave Situation
"Now, I'll have to use a taxi," Eric muttered angrily walking out of the automobile store.After running away from Charlotte, he brought the car for repair. But the repair was not something that could be done immediately. Since the car was a modified version, they had to order the part directly from the manufacturer or take the car back to them for repair.So, Eric had no other choice but to leave. Breathing in, he sighed and then flagged down a taxi.The reason he had run away from Evelyn was just because she had mentioned the defense force.If he were to accept something from them again, that would give them all the leverage to ask him to join them.They had already agreed to let him poach Sophia without getting involved; now, if he was to take money from them, he wouldn't be joining their ranks.Then he would lose all of his freedom and time as he was sure that those old men would never keep to their words.Though they might promise that they were not going to send him on a missio
