Kurt was thoroughly deflated as he looked at Eric, "Mr. Johnson, aren't you afraid I'll inform Catellon? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to reach me?"

He was perplexed.

Eric had the upper hand now, with the full capability to take him and his companions down directly. Even if they were captured or worse, killed, as long as Eric presented the evidence, no one would dare to oppose him.

Eric chuckled. "Afraid? What is there to fear? Let's be frank. You hold some value to me. If you were of no value, would I even know who you are? Whether you live or die, what does it matter to me?

"Of course, I'm a bit petty. If I can't reach you in time, I might just release all this information. And the recordings of these past few days' meetings.

"You might doubt my ability to apprehend across borders, but I can have others do it.

"Oh, and you might not be aware of my connection with the Rogers family. Although we're not on the same side, if I were to call Brent and ask for help in nabbing so

    Eric intended to stay in Dortmund City for another two days, waiting to see if Stealthbane would show up. If not, he would return to Salt City.-The night passed uneventfully.On the second day, Eric met with Roland for coffee and conversation, and the day swiftly passed.Eric began to think that perhaps Stealthbane wouldn't come after all.-On the third night.With no sign of Stealthbane, Eric tried calling him but couldn't get through."This fellow…" Eric furrowed his brow. "What game is he playing? Could he have been taken out?"He remembered the shouts he had heard over the phone during their last conversation, indicating someone had been chasing Stealthbane.The thought of a renowned assassin being hunted amused Eric.Since Stealthbane didn't appear, Eric decided to spend the night in Dortmund City and return to Salt City early the next morning.Eric woke up before dawn and got ready, wondering what reward Sylvia might offer him.As he left the Dortmund Grand Hotel,

    Stealthbane revealed a book, its cover likely made of aged parchment. Eric fixed his gaze upon Stealthbane. "Where did you get this thing from?"He had already guessed its contents, but he wondered if Stealthbane had seen them and if he understood.To his surprise, Stealthbane cursed before replying, "Got this thing from an auction house in Erweston, cost me 2,000,000 dollars!" He continued. "Wasn't even interested in it at first, but seeing them constantly raising the bid got me curious. Never thought after my bid… Damn it! No one else followed!"What surprised me more was when I got hold of this thing, someone came to kill me, demanding I hand it over. That's when I realized this thing was not ordinary," Stealthbane explained, frustration evident in his tone. "I flipped through it and saw some text, as well as what seemed like human acupoints, like some ancient martial arts. But I couldn't understand a thing! I figured since you're a legend, I'd come find you!"Eric kept his ga

    Two towering foreigners, each standing over six feet tall, locked eyes before tightening their fists and moving toward Eric and Stealthbane.Eric remained composed, glancing at Stealthbane. "You choose first. I'll take the other."After a moment's contemplation, Stealthbane moved to Eric's right, leaving Eric to face the other opponent.In a one-on-two situation, he wasn't a match, but in a two-on-two scenario, as Eric had stated, victory seemed plausible."Hand over what you've got—"Before the opponents could state their demands, Eric shot forward with remarkable speed.Glancing at the spot where Eric had just stepped, Stealthbane noticed a hole in the carpet, a testament to Eric's swift movement.Turning his attention back, Eric had already engaged one of the opponents. His attacks were simple yet effective, with precise strikes that displayed mastery.In such close quarters, this style of combat wielded considerable power.With two resounding blows, Eric forced his opponen

    Eric didn't chase after them, so Stealthbane didn't dare to pursue either.The opponents were two formidable experts, each no weaker than him. Engaging in a one-on-one fight held no certainty of victory for him, especially considering that one of them seemed only injured, not dead yet."What's the point of giving chase?" Eric said, "They're faster than rabbits, and Dortmund City is filled with tall buildings. They could easily hide in any corner. How do we even begin to search?"I was going to ask you, do you know them?"Stealthbane shook his head.Seeing this, Eric furrowed his brow. "Where did these experts come from?"He was puzzled. Such skilled individuals were rarely seen in the past, yet today, two had appeared. It was not a simple situation."Is that assassin organization still under your control?" Eric asked.Stealthbane sighed. "I'm afraid not. I'll try to contact them later. If I can't reach them, they're probably in trouble!"Eric nodded. "When we reach King City,

    Eric grinned, pointing at his head. "Big Bro, have you forgotten my photographic memory?"Pierce suddenly remembered that and carefully stored the book.Eric then handed Stealthbane over to Pierce. He wasn't worried about Pierce harming Stealthbane—there was no need.The Combat Department also had no evidence regarding Stealthbane. More importantly, Eric knew Pierce was a person of great vision and could make use of someone like Stealthbane!After arranging matters concerning Stealthbane, Eric returned to Salt City the same day.-Sylvia was very happy. "You're back?"She knew Eric had traveled from Dortmund City to King City, and something must have happened during that time."I'm back!" Eric lightly hugged Sylvia and then held Yvette in his arms. "Yvette, do you miss Daddy?"He pinched Yvette's nose.Amelia saw this scene and hurried over. "Don't pinch Yvette's nose. If she grows up with a low nose bridge, she won't look good!"Eric smiled and didn't say much. The older ge

    Eric's back was indeed giving him some trouble, mainly from being overly tired the night before.Fortunately, today was the weekend, with no pressing matters to attend to.After breakfast, Eric delved into the contents of the third book for quite some time, finally feeling a bit more comfortable. He thought about discussing things with Tyson, but the old man was enjoying his retirement, off on another trip.-In the afternoon, Eric and Sylvia brought their children to Elly's house. Jacob was there too, lounging on the sofa with earphones in, one hand clutching his phone while the other tapped away at the screen.Spotting Eric and Sylvia, he scrambled to his feet, grinning, and retreated to his room."What's up with him? Why's he grinning like an idiot staring at his phone?" Eric asked, finding it rather odd.Sometimes, sitting there giggling at a phone made one seem like a fool to others."Who knows?" Elly said, shaking her head. "He bought a stroller for the baby and some toys

    "On the Internet, it may not be realistic, but as long as I give her a gift, she starts calling me 'honey' all sweetly!" Jacob exclaimed."Don't worry, bro, I only look for those little-known streamers. It won't cost much," Jacob assured him.Blake shook his head in disbelief.But everyone had their own way of life. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, Andy wouldn't interfere much.Eric coughed, saying, "Jacob, I heard these online female streamers heavily rely on beauty filters. Even an Ugly Betty can turn into a stunning beauty.""Something you can't see or touch, isn't it intriguing? Who knows? That female streamer you're watching might actually be a burly man with pretty filters," Eric remarked.The thought made Andy nearly gag."Eric, could you refrain from such topics?" Andy pleaded.Jacob sighed. "I know it sounds absurd, but they're very attractive! It's just a way to pass the time. Besides, what if one of them takes a liking to me? I heard you can meet them offline!"

    "Who processed the passports?" Eric felt completely numb.This time, he and Ruth went to Catellon under the guise of tourism. Passing through customs earlier, he noticed that the passport information indicated that he and Ruth were listed as a married couple.Ruth glanced at Eric, saying, "It was done by them. This mission has some secrecy involved, so this arrangement is just to better conceal our identities.""I'm telling you, a spinster like me doesn't care. What's it to you, a grown man?"Eric was speechless.After a moment, he said, "Sean is getting older. When I was there some time ago, he asked me to find him a girlfriend. At that moment, you were the first person I thought of, but he said he couldn't handle someone like you!""What are you trying to say?" Ruth stared at Eric. She always felt that Eric's words carried a sting.Eric chuckled. "You're not getting any younger. Work is important, but life events are even more crucial. You should hurry up and find a man to mar

    In terms of innate talent, Eric was unparalleled, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts. With a single punch, he sent the 'God' flying."Good!" Stealthbane shouted with excitement.The ultimate enemy had finally been defeated, bringing peace to the world. Eric sighed in relief.However, in the next moment, the 'God' stood up again. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "You have successfully enraged me!"Everyone braced for a potential massacre, but instead, the enemy turned and fled.Could Eric let him escape?"Chase him!" Stealthbane commanded.Allowing this foe to escape would spell endless trouble.A group of people pursued the enemy, who soon reappeared clad in iron armor."Not seen this before, have you?" The 'God' seemed to have recovered somewhat. "Did you think I only research viruses? Wrong! I control global resources and global wealth!"This is our newly developed Doomforge Exosuit which amplifies a person's battle prowess tenfol

    The sturdy floor lay in utter disarray.In desperation, Ruth shouted, "Eric, don't give him any more chances! Finish him off swiftly, or we'll face endless trouble!"Eric was well aware of this logic. As he fought, he said, "He's incredibly strong. Taking him down quickly isn't possible! We must fight to the death!"Eric had never feared battle. Besides, this might very well be his final fight.Their fists clashed fiercely.The 'God' also noticed that Eric was growing more formidable as the battle progressed."How do you have so much strength? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to control the world? We could have anything we desire!"All the world's wealth, women, and resources would be ours to enjoy. Why won't you listen to reason?" he roared.Eric's momentum didn't falter. "I don't share your grand ambitions. I just want a simple life with a job that pays 1,000 dollars a month and a warm home with my wife and kids. But you, you've disturbed my peace!"The 'God' was fu

    The 'God' grew more courageous as the battle raged on, causing Stealthbane to worry incessantly.In another high-stakes clash, Eric and his opponent both retreated. Eric sensed his opponent's growing strength, finding it rather peculiar.The 'God' clenched his fist. "I must thank you! My techniques were slightly incomplete, but I've managed to fill the gaps through this battle!"Eric marveled at his opponent's genius. To mend something incomplete was indeed a rare talent.Despite Eric training with the complete manual, he could only match the 'God' blow for blow. This person was terrifying!The opponent's confidence soared. Although Eric had trained with the full manual, the 'God' felt his innate talent far surpassed Eric's. If he could match Eric with an incomplete manual, now that he had perfected it, wouldn't he be unbeatable?"I thought you had potential and considered inviting you to share this world with me," the 'God' said, his tone turning icy. "But now, I see it's unnece

    Stealthbane even felt that Eric might not be a match for the "God."The power was overwhelming.The terrifying aura was enough to crush everything. To an ordinary person, this was a real deity—the strength possessed had already transcended human limits.Eric made his move with a burst of speed. The clash of their fists created a thunderous explosion, and the sound was so intense that Stealthbane felt his eardrums might shatter.This was a battle of the highest caliber, one that even a legend like Stealthbane could not hope to join.Seeing the two evenly matched, Stealthbane sighed in relief. At least there was a chance that the strongest combatants were neutralizing each other. The outcome was still uncertain.Eric shook his aching fist, his expression grave. The opponent's strength was as he had anticipated. If the ultimate boss of the Luminous did not possess such combat power, it would be absurd.Clearly, this "God" had also gauged Eric's strength.He extended a hand toward

    Stealthbane knew that the figure facing them must be the ultimate leader of the Luminous.Suddenly, he no longer wanted to die. If he could hold on just a little longer, it would all be over."Mr. Johnson, these people don't seem ordinary. Could that leader be the ultimate figure of the Luminous? Are we about to complete the game?" he whispered.To him, this mission to the Ark felt like a game: defeat the final boss, and victory is achieved."If I'm not mistaken, it should be. This person gives me... a sense of danger," Eric said.Upon hearing this, Stealthbane felt reassured.Just a sense? That meant the problem wasn't too grave!The leader on the opposite side turned to Eric. "I didn't expect you to make it this far. I underestimated your strength, believing my Ark was impregnable, that no enemy could breach it. But why are you so persistent? Why such determination?"He suddenly screamed in a fit of hysteria, "I have so many people! Such a grand scheme! It has all succeeded!

    Brent shouted desperately, "After you get on your knees, they'll kill you all, and we won't survive either! Kill them! Kill them all!"He understood the situation with stark clarity. Kneeling meant certain death. If they had to die anyway, fighting back would be their only chance of survival.Eric sighed. "Mr. Rogers, in the end, it was we who implicated you. But this place must be eradicated, and the Luminous must be destroyed as well! Everyone, attack!"As the battle commenced, the masked man immediately struck Brent with a punch.Eric charged in. "Die!"He knew that Brent was unlikely to survive. This punch was his way of avenging Brent.The masked man spun around, trying to block Eric's punch. But the speed of the blow was too much—the gust of wind from the punch arrived before the fist did.It was an instant kill.The masked man had no time to react before Eric's punch collided with his chest. The terrifying force shattered the mask on the man's face, revealing an unfamili

    Stealthbane was blinded by rage. He was killing anyone in sight, his fury unrelenting. They had ventured deep into enemy territory, where every encounter seemed to be with an adversary.Eric and his team from the Combat Department showed no mercy.Yet even Stealthbane's resolve was wearing thin."I can't kill them all! It feels like every master in the world is concentrated here!" he shouted in frustration.He felt the number of people he had brought was insufficient. If he had brought a few thousand more, he might have been able to overrun the place.Stealthbane was overwhelmed by the sheer horror of their situation. Fortunately, they had arrived. If anyone else had come, they would have met their end here.The numbers of the masters seemed endless."Damn it!" Stealthbane cursed angrily. "There are too many of them, and they're all exceptionally powerful. What kind of game is this?"He was tempted to retreat, but where could he go?Eric sent an enemy flying, pushing forward

    "I was opposed to coming in from the start, but as you all know, the Rogers family is extremely complex. If we hadn't entered, I might have ended up dead. At least if the virus isn't a threat, that's something!" Brent poured himself a cup of coffee and continued. "These people are ruthless! They want to kill everyone outside the Ark and establish a new order, managed by a select few. It's insane!"You don't need to tell me—I know you're here to kill them."He then pulled a small token from his pocket. "This is our Rogers family's privilege here. It allows us to move freely between different levels. With this, you can go anywhere!"Stealthbane grabbed it eagerly. "Why didn't you mention this earlier? Things will go much smoother with this!"Brent sighed. "Once you've handled everything, could you take me out with you? I really don't want to stay in this dreadful place any longer.""Sure!" Eric nodded. "We'll definitely call you when we leave. For now, we're heading out."Brent e

    Everything was ready, but they couldn't just walk in.Ruth instructed the Combat Department to conduct a three-day intensive training for everyone, focusing on coordinated combat.-After three days, the forces led by Stealthbane moved out, first dismantling the outer defenses of the Ark. This was their specialty!A large group of several hundred arrived in front of the Ark's entrance. At first glance, it resembled a mountain.Jack scratched his head and said, "Is this the gate? I don't see any door."The Holy Templar's people arrived as well. St. Pius said, "Everyone, don't rush. Wait for two minutes. Once the gate opens, we need to get in quickly. I have other plans inside, but once we're in, it's going to be a life-or-death battle! No one should show any mercy!"Stealthbane flexed his fists and replied, "Do I look like a good guy to you? Just watch me deal with them!"No sooner had he spoken than there was a tremendous roar. The ground shook, and the door of the Ark swung
