Eric's face sank. He pursed his lips, and his eyes were sharp.
Back then, Eric had approached the people at the top. The upper brass could not do anything about it, and it was impossible to risk more lives because of a corpse.
At that time, an arms dealer approached him and said that she could help him. That person was Angie.
He originally did not believe her, but she did it.
She brought Hendrick’s body back in one piece and delivered it to Eric.
Eric still remembered that he asked what her conditions were.
Angie did not want anything. She just told him to remember the name "Angie”.
However, before he left, Eric still left a small check as payment.
He did not like to owe others.
Later, Eric returned home with the corpse and left his unit. No matter which forces he stepped into, he made connections quickly, and his power was no longer that simple rookie in the unit.
He found out about Angle's identity, the arms dealers, and the light and dark zones.
Today, Eric was able to stand tall and look down on them, and even take control of them.
It was just so he could protect the people he wanted to protect.
Eric's eyes were dark and pitch-black.
"I don't owe you anything. The check I gave you was enough to hire twenty local mercenaries who don't care about dying."
Angie smiled with ruthlessness inside her eyes.
"I know, but it's not the money I want. I just wanted you to remember me."
Angie did not care about money. She cared about this person!
"Originally, I wasn't anxious. You married Nicole, but you didn’t like her. I was relieved to know that you two were not living happily, so I waited until she left o n her own.”
A trace of reluctance flashed in Angie's eyes.
"But after she left, you fell for her instead? I could only come up with this method to come to you. As long as you’re willing, we can be together, Eric. With your current background and power, you'll only grow even stronger.”
