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
353:Running Away
Just as Eric stepped on the accelerator, determined to catch up to the idiot who had hit and disfigured his car, three police cars fiercely chased the car before suddenly coming to a stop.They had come to a stop when the car hit Eric's car as they were expecting Eric to be a bit unlucky and be involved in an accident, but unexpectedly, the driver of the car was a pro and even angrily gave them a pursuit while they could hear him cursing.Alighting alongside the other officers were Evelyn and Charlotte, both having a smile on their faces."I didn't expect us to run into him," Evelyn chuckled, staring at the car in the distance."I guess they would regret it, but it would have been too late," Charlotte also nodded with a slight chuckle.She knew Eric well, and since he had decided to chase after them, he would definitely catch up to them.Originally, they were scared of losing them, but who would have known that the people would call trouble onto themselves by hitting Eric's car.All m
352:Cruse Your Mother
"Sorry," Evelyn muttered, her face going red with embarrassment as she hurriedly answered the call.The next moment, her expression changed."I'll be there in no time," Evelyn spat, her voice cold then ended the call."Eric, I need to go," Evelyn stated, packing up the flask and plates."Alright then, drive slowly. We'll meet at night," Eric nodded, a mischievous smile spread across his face.Evelyn blushed and hurried out of the office. She was supposed to be annoyed at the moment, but with Eric around it was not possible."Finally," Eric grunted, patting his stomach.Now it was time to move on to the next thing. Honestly, he wanted to go to sleep, but he didn't have the luxury.As for the matter of refining the bone marrow pill for Michael, that would wait till night.There were still tons of other things he needed to take care of. Also, come to think of it, it had been a while since he visited Chole at her workplace.Also, it had been a while since he went to Wangjin Dock. As for t
351:Why Did You Come?
Harold and Luna glanced at each other, and then, after a moment, they nodded and walked out of the office.They had gotten what they wanted anyway. There was no need for them to wait any longer.Though Eric's way of asking them to leave was a little bit rude, they believed they must have offended him in some way, or else he wouldn't have acted that way to them.Picking up the Jade pendant, they walked out of the office. Luna wasn't willing to wear it again, there was no need for her to wear it anymore.She was fine now; also, with Eric's words, she believed something was wrong, though she still didn't believe it was a soul-devouring item.The reason she believed this time was all thanks to Eric's skills. She did not know he was this skilled right from the start, else she would have never doubted him.Eric, on the other hand, nodded slightly and sat up just as they walked out of the office.Though he was a little bit tired, he was not all that tired. His Qi was far purer than anyone's
350:If You're Not Ready, I'll Return Your Herb
"There's a thousand things wrong with it," Eric shook his head, his gaze landing on the jade pendant once again.Luna and Harlod frowned slightly. This thing had been with Luna for quite a while, yet this young man was saying there was a problem with it.They found it rather hard to believe."This is a soul-devouring jade pendant," Eric revealed, breaking the silence.He was too lazy to explain or hide things from them as he believed they were going to recognize it immediately."Soul devouring?" Luna and Harlod gasped at the same time, staring at Eric and then at the jade pendant."Young man, are you sure about this?" Harlod asked after a while, his gaze conflicted."I'm too lazy to say too much. Once you go back, find out if it's a lie or not, but by the way, hand over the Sunflower Herb, I'll treat her first," Eric shook his head, feeling too lazy to talk to them."But..." "The Yang energy I'll be injecting into her body is enough to suppress the riot of the Yin in her body for abo
349:Who Said Anything About Intimacy?
"Huh?" Luna and Harlod froze upon hearing Eric's statement.What the heck was this guy talking about? Wanting to offer his Yang energy?Though he was able to hold Luna's wrist for a while. They didn't believe his Yang energy wouldn't be sucked dry once he tried to get intimate with her."Sir...sir, are you sure about this?" Luna stuttered, her face going red as he stared at Eric, not believing he was willing to offer his Yang energy.But thinking about the Sunflower herb. It was Indeed worth it. But then the Sunflower herb couldn't restore either Yin or Yang.It had a very different purpose. So what was he planning on doing?"Are you sure about this?" Harlod also frowned slightly, stepping forward, staring intently at Eric."Why are you both staring at me as though I said I want to offer my life?" Eric's mouth twitched violently, seeing the way they were both staring at him."All I said was that I want to offer her my Yang energy, not my fucking life, or kidney!""We know, sir, but at
