Besides the driver's seat and the passenger seat in the front row, there were six more places in the back of the car arranged in two rows, face to face.
Adkins, Boswell, and Colman occupied one row as Damian, Matthew, and Erica sat opposite to them. The bodyguard was in the passenger seat next to the driver.
The whole way to school went smoothly. After dropping the kids off, the couple headed towards ZL Group. Without the children around her, Erica felt free to get more comfortable.
Leaning against Matthew, she put her arms around his waist and acted like a spoiled child. "I'll drive you to work every morning, and then work hard to make money for you." 'The money he earns should be saved for our sons' future, ' she thought.
The man caressed her long hair and said with a smile, "Then I'm going to starve to death, aren't I?"
"How could it be? If I work harder, I will make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, won't I?" EM's name was already well-known. Tons of people looked for her to take photos of them.
Only she wasn't taking any requests at the moment. After all, the studio was still under preparation, and she didn't even have an assistant yet. She had just taken photos for Dylan and Noreen so far, but it had been quite tiresome to do the whole work on her own.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars a month?" Matthew thought for a moment and had to speak honestly. "It doesn't buy one meal of mine."
"What?" Erica suddenly sat up straight and gasped, "You are such a big spender!"
With a smile that reached his eyes, Matthew took her hand and comforted her, "So, I'll continue to make money from now on. You only need to worry about doing whatever you want every day."
"Well... that's okay, but what about our four sons? You must be more frugal so we can ensure their future!"
He didn't think so. "We won't have more money by saving, but by earning it. Don't worry about it. I'll keep working hard to make more and more money."
She still wanted to discuss it further, but they had arrived at ZL Group. Once the car stopped, the bodyguard opened the door for them and interrupted the conversation altogether.
Mathew got out of the vehicle first and turned around to help his wife out. At this time, her phone started ringing in her purse.
Holding his arm not to fall, she picked up the phone and said, "Hello, it's me."
The relaxed and joyful expression on Erica's face gradually vanished as she listened to the person on the other end of the line. Slowing down her pace, she asked, "How many people have been hospitalized?"
Her words immediately attracted Matthew's attention, making hi
ent according to the different kinds of injuries they had suffered. Erica visited them one by one.
After walking out of the hospital, she turned to the group leader and ordered, "Tod, pay for all their medical fees. When they recover, each person will be given five hundred thousand to one million dollars as compensation. Once they are fully recovered, they can go back to the Violet Eagles."
"Yes! Ma'am!"
"You come back to the Violet Eagles with me now. I want to know the details."
"Okay. Please get in the car first." Tod Yang opened the door for her before he followed her inside.
The headquarters of the Violet Eagles was located in a courtyard house in the suburb, where lots of people lived. Due to Erica's arrival in the evening, many fellows gathered outside the door of the reception room to wait for her.
Erica was finally aware of the whole story by the time she heard Tod's report. As she was told, two men from the Violet Eagles had uncovered some clues about a crime the Immortal Killer Sect had committed in K Country. Unfortunately, they soon came to know they were being investigated by the Violet Eagles.
Yet the Immortal Killer Sect people didn't know who the boss of the Violet Eagles was. Therefore, they captured the two men they found investigating and killed them to keep their mouth shut. In order to avenge the two dead companions, many people of the Violet Eagles had taken action against the Immortal Killer Sect. In other words, a gang war had begun.
Quickly it became clear that the Immortal Killer Sect counted with many more people on their side. There was no way the Violet Eagles could deal with them on their own, so they contacted the royal army of K Country to put an end on the conflict and save them.
