"The tuition for the kids' classes—we can't even scrape together 4,000 dollars!" John lamented.

He knew well that the Pentra family would never let them go.

But what else could they do?

John sighed. "It's not that we dare not resist, it's that we can't. The Pentra family is too powerful. Those who oppose them vanish without a trace!

"Disappearing without a sound! It's better to live poorly than to die gloriously. I still have a wife and kids..."

His family was his tether.

Without family, what good would resisting the Pentras do?

John had long grown weary of such days.

"Alright." Eric stood up. "Since you are unwilling, we won't insist. Mr. Biscus, let's go."

John escorted the two out of his home, sighing before closing the door.

Downstairs, Eric said, "Find out where Mr. Dede's children attend those classes and pay the tuition. The money will come from me."

Ron hurriedly said, "Mr. Johnson, I'll cover the cost!"

Eric patted Ron's shoulder. "You're an employee, I'm the boss.

    John felt restless—he couldn't even come up with 4,000 dollars, attributing it to his own inadequacies.While many worldwide struggled with this amount, John was different. He was a well-known distributor in Westlake City.Taking his phone and seeing an incoming call, he took a deep breath before answering, "Darling, don't worry. I'll find a way to cover the expenses! Just talk to the teacher today.""What?" The voice on the other end puzzled John. "Someone paid already? Did I misunderstand? I haven't even gone to pay yet."He didn't have 4,000 dollars on him, so there was no way he could have paid. But John was sharp, quickly figuring out who might have covered the amount. If it wasn't Eric, then it must have been Ron. Who else would generously pay the tuition fees for his children?After hanging up, John dialed Ron's number. "Hey, Mr. Biscus."Ron's voice came through. "Mr. Dede, how are you?""Everything's fine! All's well!" John pursed his lips and asked, "Mr. Biscus, I have

    Such situations weren't entirely improbable. With one financial predator gone, another emerged, leaving distributors like them in dire straits.Noticing John's silence, Dorothy spoke again, her tone tinged with concern. "You should discreetly reach out to Mr. Johnson. If things continue like this, we'll truly struggle to make ends meet. You need to think about not just yourself but also the children!"We can't let the children become slaves to the Pentra family!"In Dorothy's view, John was already enslaved by the Pentra family! He worked tirelessly to line their pockets, yet couldn't even scrape together the 4,000 dollars for his children's extracurricular activities.John nodded solemnly. He was aware of the Innova Group, but only vaguely. Fearful of Pentra spies, he dared not engage with Ron boldly.If the Pentra family caught wind of it, wouldn't that mean certain doom?-It wasn't until late into the night that John dared to arrange a meeting with Ron.Seated across from h

    John's perception of the Innova Group underwent a transformation. Initially, he assumed that the Rockwoods had succumbed to pressure from the Pentra family, but it turned out to be the Innova Group—a surprising revelation.His days had been gloomy and unfruitful. Despite being a prominent pharmaceutical distributor in Westlake City, he couldn't muster even 4,000 dollars.Ron sensed John's intrigue."Why deal with the Pentra family when we can manage these distributors ourselves? Why dance to their tune?" Ron pondered aloud.John had been contemplating the same. In Westlake City's pharmaceutical industry, the Pentras held sway, exerting immense pressure on them. They needed a new direction.However, John had reservations. "Mr. Biscus, it's not that we disregard the Innova Group. As businessmen, we can't afford to ignore potential profits. But our primary concern are the Pentras. Bryce is no saint. If we distribute Innova Group's drugs without their consent, they'll retaliate!"Tha

    Who would seize the initiative? Would the other distributors dare to retaliate? These questions weighed heavily on Eric's mind.Eric knew well that rallying the Westlake distributors to the Innova Group's cause meant challenging the Pentra family head-on. Yet, the Pentra family had effectively closed off all avenues in Westlake City.For the Innova Group to expand its market presence here, it had to confront the Pentra family's dominance—a thorny dilemma.Eric pondered silently for a prolonged moment.The directive from the Combat Department was unequivocal: avoid the Pentra family if possible, but be prepared to confront them if necessary.With no clear strategy in sight, Eric sought guidance from Pierce and briefed him on the situation.Upon hearing about Westlake City, Pierce fell into silence.After a pause, he instructed, "Conduct an investigation there. If the Pentras truly control the Westlake market and leave no room for other distributors, take whatever measures are nec

    This time, Sylvia was the host. Bryce, Mark, and Martha were all present.After discovering the true nature of these three individuals, Eric and Sylvia regarded them with different eyes.Bryce and Mark were both notorious for their lustful ways, and in the presence of Sylvia, they were even more shameless.Martha was no different. In her eyes, a woman's beauty was a sin, and those who climbed the social ladder using their looks were even worse sinners.If Sylvia were an ordinary person, she would have fallen victim to Martha's schemes long ago. But Sylvia was no ordinary person.Even so, in Martha's eyes, Sylvia was within her grasp. With this in mind, Martha turned her head and glanced at Eric. In her view, Eric's fate was also sealed—this man who preyed on women with his accomplishments and status was no good man.He couldn't be allowed to harm women any longer—he had to die! There were no good men left in this world!Sensing her bloodlust, Eric glanced at her, and his eyes su

    It was nothing short of robbery, yet it was dressed up in refreshing attire.Seemingly, the Innova Group wasn't at a loss, but rather the Pentra family.Sylvia chuckled lightly, saying, "Mr. Pentra, what I mean is, can the Pentra family consider lowering their cut in this matter?"Did she genuinely hope for a reduction in the Pentra family's share? Not really.What business was it of the Pentra family if the Innova Group entered the Westlake market?Even if it were 80%, Sylvia wouldn't give in. Why should she? The distributors deserved payment, and the Innova Group could even provide subsidies to them.But what had the Pentra family done? Just because they controlled the Westlake distributors?However, this time, Bryce relented. "Ms. Williams, lowering the percentage isn't out of the question. How about this? I'll reduce it to 70% for you!"As long as you agree, once we sign the contract and the payment for the first batch of medicine is made, the Innova Group's medicine can st

    The Pentra family thoroughly disgusted Sylvia.Once, when she first heard of aristocratic families, Sylvia imagined them to be more refined and responsible than the wealthiest households. Little did she know the Pentra family would turn out like this.What kind of nonsense aristocracy was this?They were nothing but self-centered, selfish individuals who dared to act recklessly under the guise of family strength. Such a family had no reason to exist."We've got the lowdown," remarked Eric. "There's no point in holding onto any illusions about the Pentra family. Let's focus on what we need to do."Sylvia had no illusions about the Pentras. When Bryce demanded an 80% profit share, she saw through their facade immediately.The Pentras weren't holistic physicians, nor were they in pharmaceuticals, yet they dominated the Westlake market. Any medical merchant looking to enter Westlake City would likely have to pay Pentras, or their business would suffer.-Mark had just been frolicki

    Martha licked her lips. "I never imagined that Innova Group's co-founder is also a martial artist with blood on his hands!"She could tell Eric had killed before!At her words, Bryce squinted. "I almost forgot about that fellow!"Sylvia was too stunning—Bryce and Mark's eyes had always been on Sylvia, ignoring Eric.Only Martha perceived Eric's distinctiveness.The intensity of his gaze and the aura of death that surrounded him still lingered in Martha's mind.She found herself intrigued by Eric, postponing any thoughts of eliminating him too soon. She wanted to discern what set him apart from others."Sis, do you have a plan?" Mark was just a man who only cared about women.He even wanted to have sex with Martha. Still, he was aware of her fiery temperament and feared his advances might lead to his death."I have an idea," Martha replied."The Innova Group must want to meet with the Westlake distributors. Let's facilitate that by organizing a cocktail party and bringing toge

    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
