Glancing at his phone, Eric remarked, "Regarding that incident at the Catellonian school, I had the Lockes take a look. They came back with some feedback. There's definitely something off about that school.

"As a school, having just a dozen students at dismissal isn't typical, even for a prestigious institution."

He knew the issue was significant. The Catellonian school occupied a sizable area, yet having only a few students was abnormal.

After scrutinizing for a while, Eric sent the pictures to Robert. They depicted teachers from the Catellonian school. Eric instructed Robert to investigate the teachers' backgrounds. If they could find information on the students and their parents, it would be even better.

Letting out a sigh, Eric leaned back in his seat.

Sylvia glanced at him. "Is the situation dire?"

Eric shook his head. "It's not that I find the situation dire. It's just that over these past few years, we've encountered too many incidents. It feels exhausting, a sense of... w

    Upon arriving at the company, Sylvia attended to some business matters before promptly entering Eric's office."Come with me for a moment," she said.Eric was puzzled but didn't ask, following behind her.Exiting the premises of the Innova Group, several cars trailed behind them."Where are we headed?" Eric asked.Sylvia glanced at him."You'll find out soon enough," she replied cryptically.The air was filled with a sense of intrigue.Before long, Sylvia led a group, including Eric, to Salt City's largest luxury car market. They were accompanied by the Locke brothers.Eric understood—Sylvia had brought him there to purchase a car."With so many cars at home, do we really need to buy another one?" Eric couldn't help but feel it was excessive.Just one trip there could cost a fortune!The perspective remained unchanged.Sylvia smiled. "What do men love if not cars? Well, and beautiful women, but I can't fulfill that part for you. However, I can buy you a car."All the cars

    Initially, Eric and Sylvia paid no heed to those Catellonians.Little did they anticipate the Catellonians to stroll over, catching Eric's gaze fixated on the car before them. With a smirk, one of them addressed their salesperson, "We'll take this car! Just this one."Eric merely glanced at it casually. Cars worth a couple hundred thousand didn't catch his eye anymore. Although he might have a slight fondness for it, the price was too low. Besides, there were more of these cars available. If this one got sold, he could always order another.Running his fingers over his nose, he exchanged a glance with Sylvia before shifting his attention to another car."How much for this one?" he asked, nodding toward the vehicle in front of them.The salesperson seemed somewhat numb by now. She felt this car wasn't quite up to Eric and Sylvia's standards. Nevertheless, she still answered, "This is the latest model of this brand, priced at 500,000 dollars. Because today..."She had intended to m

    As they signed the contract, several Catellonians cast provocative glances at Eric.Eric, however, remained composed. He didn't know these Catellonians, but he couldn't help but wonder if they were targeting him specifically. Why else would they buy the same cars he showed interest in? Even the ones he had his eye on earlier were now sold.There must be some history between them for things to escalate to this point.He watched as the Catellonians signed the contract and made their payments.The process went smoothly.The Locke brothers were starting to get impatient, but Eric gestured for them to calm down. Smirking, he asked the salesperson, "Surely, your dealership has more than just these cars?""You're right, Mr. Johnson," the salesperson replied. "This is just our flagship store. We have another branch nearby with slightly pricier options. Mr. Johnson, Ms. Williams, please follow me."This added a new layer of amusement.Matthew chuckled heartily and addressed the Catell

    As Jacob bid farewell to the lawyer, he smiled and remarked, "Ms. Grook, when you go back, tell the folks at the Hernandez family that I'm right here at work. Tell them to come and confront me whenever they're free. They shouldn't underestimate me! If they're true experts, they'll come to confront me! Oh, and I owe you a dinner!"Jacob seemed addicted to getting punched. But then again, why bother with work when getting a beating meant a hefty sum in the bank?With Jacob seen off, Celine Grook headed to Eric's office.She knew Eric was the linchpin of this case. Although they had caused some financial losses to the Innova Group, the compensation was settled.As for the alleged kidnapping and assault? They hardly caused any substantial harm. At most, it was an attempt. The crucial point relied on Eric. If he didn't pursue the matter, everything would be relatively smooth.Celine's task was to handle Eric. Sitting down, she deliberately showcased her slender thighs, the black stocki

    The aristocratic Hernandezes had clearly picked the wrong target. Those dispatched to Salt City repeatedly found themselves apprehended, much to their dismay.-Meanwhile, in another part of the city.Robert led his team to the Catellonian school. He intended to conduct a thorough search of the premises.As they presented the search warrant, the school's administrator sneered. "You have no authority to search our school!"His demeanor oozed arrogance.Searching the school? In his view, it was an impossible feat.These people were audacious! In their hearts, they had already regarded the school's grounds as Catellon's territory, much to their satisfaction. It was evident that they took pride in it.Despite not being their own country, they could carve out a domain there. If they operated for decades, even centuries, they could theoretically claim Salt City or even the entirety of Catellon as their own.This country and its people harbored an inherent aggression, almost as if it

    With a cold snort, Robert declared, "No matter what calls you make today, none will hinder me!"His mind was somewhat clouded. It was just his sixth sense telling him something was amiss with this school, prompting him to investigate with a group of people.Little did he know, the waters there ran deep! No sooner had they entered the school premises than a call came through, threatening retribution.He knew certain individuals must have taken action against him. As the voice on the other end hinted, his rapid ascent over the past two years had disrupted the established order in Salt City.It was originally intended for someone else to climb up the ranks, but he ended up being the one promoted. In these past two years, everyone sought to catch him slipping and bring him down. Robert had always believed that a clear conscience fears no accusation, hence he feared nothing.Yet, within Salt City's system, some knew that Robert was associated with Eric. It was simple logic—Robert had

    Robert's investigation continued, and he brought back all the suspicious items to the team. Meanwhile, his phone incessantly rang. Even some people came in person, criticizing his actions and citing concerns about affecting the friendship between the two countries, and so forth.Naturally, he paid no heed to such remarks. Placing the photograph of the plaque on the table, Robert declared coldly, "Take a look for yourselves! 'Non-Catellonians Forbidden Entry'!"What nonsense is this? Do they consider the school their sovereign territory? Next time I see that plaque there, I won't care about their so-called friendship. I'll dismantle their school!"Even now, he remained thoroughly incensed. Even though he headed the investigative department, if civilians wanted to park or use the restroom, no one dared to stop them.How could a mere school for Catellonians dare to declare non-Catellonians forbidden? Those who had come prepared to confront him left with dejected faces.Robert was e

    This was just one of their objectives. They also wanted to use this incident to gauge the attitudes of the locals toward the Catellonians. They even employed internet trolls to stir up trouble, spreading rumors that Salt City officials were in the wrong and should apologize to them.However, it was evident that the locals weren't buying it. The voices of justice overwhelmed the propaganda, swiftly drowning out the efforts of the Catellonian trolls.There were even threats of planting explosives at Catellonian schools, but of course, those were just empty words. No one would actually do such a thing.Soon, the Catellonian propaganda was drowned out by the chorus of justice.Robert faced considerable pressure handling this matter, but fortunately, progress was being made.The locations marked on the map were quickly identified, and Robert immediately called Eric. "Mr. Johnson, we've located the points on the map: a footbridge, the Innova Group, an orphanage on the outskirts, and sev

    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
