Many were about to voice their annoyance at the abrupt halt in music in the bar turned off and the lights turned on. The previously dim bar was instantly illuminated.

At the same time, Hedda secretly thought, ""You didn't listen when I told you to leave earlier. Now that Bill is here, let's see what you can do.""

Meanwhile, Bill had already approached withand his men.

The dozens of His men in black immediatelypromptly encircled Eric and the others.his companions. Ryan and Hazel's faces grewturned even paler, but Eric and Wolfman remained calm.

""composed."Bill, this bastard is the one who ordered them to break my legs!""!" the tattooed man pointedaccused, pointing at Eric.

Simultaneously, the tattooed manHe sneered at Eric and said, "", "You bastard, I toldwarned you earlier that if you dared to strike me, you would undoubtedly dieyou'd pay with your life. Well, now it's your timeturn to die.""

"".""Who's actually facing the end here is hard to say,""," Eric smirked coldly.

Even in thisretorted, a cold smirk playing on his lips.Despite the tense situation, Eric still leaned casually on the sofa with, his legs crossed, appearing completely at ease and unflustered.

""You must be Bill if exuding an air of nonchalance. "If I'm not mistaken, letyou must be Bill. Let me introduce myself. I'm Eric Phillips, the cChairman of the Power Group's New York branch,"" Eric," he said casually.

""What?"""Wha...what?" Bill was taken aback., and so were Ryan and Hazel were equally surprised upon hearing this.

""."Bill, how could this bastard possibly be the cChairman of the Power Group? I wouldI'd believe it if he claimed to be a security guard for the Power Group!""!" the tattooed man sneered.

""His men burst into laughter. "This is truly laughable. Just look at how he presents himself, daring to impersonate the cChairman of the Power Group,"" the men behind Bill burst into laughter.

"".""Is his only strategy to pretend to be the cChairman of the Power Group?""?" Ryan couldn't help but shake his head. As Eric's middle school friend, he had some understanding of him.

knew Eric's background, how could he and found it hard to believe that Eric iscould be the cChairman of the Power Group?

.Bill also laughed and said, "", "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you really believe that?""

Obviously, Bill doesn't?" It was clear that he didn't believe itEric either.

Eric casually said, ""suggested, "It's simple to prove. Hedda has an intelligence system here. I believe there must be information about the cChairman of the Power Group's New York branch in her system.""

"". You just need her to bring out a document for comparison, and it will be clear. It's easy.""

."The tattooed man eagerly said, ""interjected, "Bill, there's no need for that. There's no way he could be the cChairman of the Power Group. Bill, go ahead and kill him!""

""!""Shut up! I don't need your advice on how to do things,""," Bill snapped at the tattooed man.

Seeing this, the tattooed man, who wisely closed his mouth.

"""Go, call Hedda over!""!" Bill commanded a man next to him.

Bill looked at Eric's appearance, and he trulystudied Eric. He didn't look like a wealthy person, let alone the cChairman of the Power Group.

But he noticed that Eric was too composed. Facing such a large group of people, he remained calm, which iswas not something an ordinary person could do.

To ensure nothing went wrong, he decided to ask Hedda to bring some information for confirmation. After all, it would only take a few minutes and was not a hassle. Soon, Hedda was called over by the man.

"""Bill, what can I do for you?""?" Hedda smiled and asked.

"", a smile on her face."Hedda, get me some information on the cChairman of the Power Group's New York branch,""," Bill said.

""requested."Alright! I'll go get it!""!" Hedda was a sensible person.

Although sheShe didn't knowquestion why Bill needed it,the information; she didn't inquire and just went to dofetch it. After Hedda returnedreturning to the bar counter, she logged into a mysterious intelligence website on the computer and searched for the information.

Obviously, theThe information about this person wouldwas not be a secret, so Hedda quickly found it.

After clicking in, she gasped, """It's him!""

After seeing the photo, Hedda covered her mouth in astonishment, widened her eyes, and her face filled with disbelief. Because the!" The photo on the computer was none other than Eric!

"""He... he is the cChairman of the Power Group?!""

?!" Waves of shock surged in Hedda's heart. When Eric had said that he didn't care about Bill before, Hedda couldn't understand him, and she thought Eric was too arrogant. Now she finally understood why Eric was so confident!

Hedda was well aware that the Power Group's New York branch was definitely one of the top three large companies! As Hedda continued to read Eric's introduction, she couldn't help but take a gasp.

"""He... he actually is Sean's... biological grandson!""

As this thought crossed Hedda's mind, she felt!" This revelation left Hedda feeling as if the world was spinning.

She never dreamt that Eric would be Sean's biological grandson. This was such an incredible revelation!

ForTo Hedda, Eric was had always been a prominent figure of prominence, a man she knew only saw in through the pages of intelligence reports.

Her perception of him, however, was drastically altered. She had, she realized that she had , severely underestimated Eric!

"". "Eric, this... this ruse won't deceivefool them. for long," Ryan interjected, his voice laced with anxiety. "Even if it buys us a few minutes, they will eventually find outuncover the truth once the intelligence arrives,"" Ryan said, showing his anxiety.

."In Ryan's eyes, Eric was only buying merely stalling, playing a dangerous game with time.

"""Ryan, don't worry. fret," Eric responded, his voice steady, his smile unwavering. He raised his glass in a toast. "Come, let's have a drink first,"" Eric smiled, raising his glass.

"".""Eric, we are facingin the midst of a crisis, ," Ryan retorted, forcing a smile onto his face. "I... I don't haveI'm not in the mood for drinking,"" Ryan forced a smile.
