Chuck couldn't wrap his head around it.

As for yesterday's assassination attempt, he had merely intended to give Kurt a warning, thinking Kurt would take the money and handle things. He never expected such an outcome.

A male Catellonian approached Chuck. "Sir, should we send someone..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture, and Chuck immediately understood.

"No," Chuck said. "If someone dies in Catellon, suspicion will fall on us. Though it's not a big deal, it's troublesome.

"Our preparations are all set, right? Let them investigate first. If they find anything, we can act later!"

He remained calm under pressure. After all, he had seen storms before, and this was nothing.

Moreover, Chuck believed that even if Kurt found something, he could handle it.

Assassination? That was a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best avoided.

Meanwhile, Ruth knew there hadn't been much progress today. It was mainly because Kurt hadn't found any leads on Genome Inc.

    The entirety of the company's data was there, a sanctuary of secrets within secrets. Two guards were stationed at the entrance of the data center, their presence a testament to the place's significance.Eric brought along a brand-new laptop. His old one was loaded with stuff, not really something he wanted to carry to the company. Once he got to the console, Eric dove right into checking out the data. This action made Chuck frown, and he glanced at Kurt. "Is this fellow proficient?"A sense of impending trouble loomed. Eric's actions were too adept. Logically, the GHO shouldn't possess such skilled personnel for these devices.Kurt nodded. "We're keeping up with the times. He's a recent recruit, quite adept in this domain."Chuck's head spun. Despite his numerous precautions, he hadn't foreseen this move. He hoped Eric wasn't too well-versed in these matters, so as not to uncover any traces.Yet, even as he silently prayed, Eric adjusted the spectacles perched on his nose and as

    Chuck's face turned ashen. He felt a surge of desire to rush forward, push Eric aside, and shout at the top of his lungs, "Stop this madness!"But he dared not.Silently, he took out his phone and sent a message.-Eric emerged with his laptop at 8:00 p.m.!Adjusting his glasses, he glanced at Kurt and Chuck. "I've found some things. Should we discuss them tonight or wait until tomorrow?"Chuck's face darkened!Without waiting for Kurt to speak, he hurriedly said, "Tonight! The conference room is ready!"The group moved to the conference room.The Genome executives wore grim expressions. They knew Eric must have discovered something significant.Seated, Eric projected some deleted files from his computer onto the big screen. "These are some deleted files I found. I won't dwell on the others, as they are unrelated to this investigation, and I haven't copied them."Let's focus on this document related to the Oberdeen Group in King City." He looked at Kurt. "Mr. Kurt, did you b

    However, genetic weapons were different. This was a new means of attack, yet it was still defined as a weapon! The deployment of weapons meant war!Would the two countries go to war? This was a result neither could bear."You..." Chuck sighed. "How do you want to handle this?"He wanted bloodshed because the situation had completely unraveled.Kurt continued. "You should understand our procedures. Over 800 people died in Dortmund City, and countless others suffer from terrible consequences.Kurt explained, "According to the GHO's regulations, your company will face a penalty of 10 to 20 billion dollars. This money is intended to promote the overall health of humanity. Naturia has already assessed all the losses from this outbreak, totaling 80 billion dollars!"You can wire this money directly to Naturia. If they forgive you all, perhaps the matter won't escalate further."Chuck suddenly burst into laughter. "20 billion dollars?! Do you think Genome Inc. has that much money? 20 b

    Ruth also got out of the car, her expression grave. She speculated that most of the assassins encountered in Catellon were shadow warriors. These assassins were elusive, leaving no trace behind, which made them incredibly troublesome."Have you spotted someone?" Ruth looked around, but the surroundings were eerily silent. Where could there be anyone?Noticing Eric holding several egg-sized stones in his hand, she was astonished."Be careful!" Eric warned, "They are very close to us! Close at hand!"He had studied the Catellonian shadow warriors. They were generally divided into seven ranks: ordinary, junior, intermediate, senior, expert, telluric, and transcendent.Among them, the ordinary shadow warriors were the weakest, while the transcendent shadow warriors were the strongest.The shadow warriors Eric had killed belonged to the senior rank, but he speculated that the transcendent shadow warriors were probably even stronger than legends back in Naturia. Face to face, a tra

    "I know!" Eric raised his hand to block the window. "If you don't want to die, roll up the car windows!"Kurt's neck shrank as he hastily rolled up the windows. Though unsure if the car windows could withstand the attacks of shadow warriors, any form of defense was better than being exposed.Fortunately, Ruth returned. Blood stained her new short knives, and she was injured. There were blood streaks on her arm and thigh, the latter deeper and still bleeding."They're too many!" Ruth exclaimed. "Just now, three of them were ready to surround and kill me, but I managed to kill them first!"Eric glanced at Ruth. "Are you a tiger? If you died here, how would I explain to Big Boss? Get in the car!"Ruth sneered. "If you die here, how will I explain to Sylvia? If you dare, come back to the hotel, and I'll let you see for yourself!"Eric's voice turned serious. "Stop joking around at this time—"Before he could finish his sentence, several black shadows appeared not far away from them.

    12 shadow warriors—3 slain by Ruth and 9 by Eric!As shadow warriors darted forth, Kurt's complexion turned pale as a ghost. He had no inkling that tonight would bring so many assailants upon them.Simultaneously, he witnessed Eric's terror-inducing prowess. How could so many shadow warriors fail to harm Eric? It was terrifying!In hindsight, Kurt's attempt to have Eric killed seemed ludicrous.These highly trained assassins couldn't lay a finger on Eric.Emerging from the darkness, Eric exuded an aura of death.Ruth had never seen Eric like this before. Evidently, he had grown stronger and more formidable.Ruth even wondered, 'If Eric were to turn criminal… Who could stop him? How many more would die if the Combat Department intervened? Who could defeat such a forceful Eric?'My mentor? Or perhaps, my mentor's mentor Neither seem capable?!'Yet, Eric swiftly regained his composure.Kurt rolled down the car window. "M-Mr. Johnson, is it... is it done?"His voice trembled.Al

    The 12 shadow warriors Chuck had sent out were all dead! Not a single one had survived! Chuck's men were quite capable, managing to retrieve the bodies!The 12 corpses lay before Chuck, his facial muscles twitching for a good while. It was mainly the deaths of these 12 top-notch shadow warriors that astounded him.A man approached."Sir, I've checked. Among the 12, three had their throats slit with sharp weapons, while the other nine..." He seemed to doubt life itself. "The other nine had their organs pulverized, yet their exteriors remained intact, even the telluric shadow warrior."Chuck didn't comprehend these details. "What caused it?"The man explained, "Preliminary assessment suggests that there's a formidable expert within Kurt's team. It's said there exist masters in this world whose control over force has reached its peak."The force penetrates from outside and damages internally, leading to the pulverization of their organs! With such an expert protecting Kurt, even t

    In the early morning.Ruth had considerably recovered. Eric suggested she rest at the hotel, but she insisted on accompanying them to Genome Inc.-Chuck had been waiting for them. He hadn't slept a wink all night, fully aware that he had messed things up.As they arrived, he ushered Kurt and the others into the company. Seeing that not a single person from the other side was harmed, his heart sank to the depths. All the people he had sent out were dead—the mission complete failure!"Everyone!" he addressed Kurt and the others. "After our urgent discussion, we've agreed to compensate according to your demands. We can arrange the compensation by today!"Kurt was taken aback!He had assumed it would take more effort today, and perhaps the compensation amount would need to be negotiated down a bit. He didn't expect Chuck to be so straightforward. All the explanations he had prepared were rendered useless!Kurt felt a bit frustrated. Chuck was really not playing by the rules!Chuc

    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
