The Crimson members likely knew that Michael and Shadow were brothers, yet they still dared to go after Michael. But why?

Eric had already thought it through. Over the past few years, Shadow, the second-in-command of the Crimson Order, had probably been sidelined! Only in this way could a legend from the Crimson Order bypass Shadow to assassinate Michael!

Eric even doubted whether Shadow could return from his quest for revenge. With this thought, he took out his phone and called Stealthbane. "If you're not busy, come to Phoenix City. It's getting quite lively here."

Stealthbane, also a legend in his own right, was a powerful ally. Upon receiving the call, he immediately rushed to Phoenix City.

A short while later, Michael woke up. Seeing Eric sitting by the bed, he weakly asked, "E-Eric... why are you here?"

Eric replied, "Don’t speak. I came as soon as I got the call. Shadow found out that a legend from the Crimson Order was after you and went to seek revenge.

"Their motive isn'

    The Crimson members hadn't arrived yet, but Stealthbane was the first to show up.In the early morning hours, Stealthbane arrived in Phoenix City and headed straight to Michael's residence.Rubbing his hands together, he said, "Mr. Johnson, what's the excitement? I love being part of exciting events!"Although he suspected that Eric's summons wasn't for a good reason, he wasn't one to shy away from trouble.Eric smiled. "It's quite an exciting matter. One of my company's executives, who's been expanding our market overseas, was injured yesterday. You should know, he's a legend."Upon hearing that, Stealthbane's expression lit up with enthusiasm.A legend had been injured. It must indeed be a very exciting situation!Eric glanced at Stealthbane. "Look at you getting all excited. Not only was he injured, but his brother, who’s with the Crimson Order and tried to avenge him, also got injured."This made Stealthbane even more thrilled.Two legends had been injured. The situation i

    Stealthbane was startled, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "Second-in-command? Who? Who are you?"'This fella is really dense.' Eric had made it so obvious, yet he still hadn't noticed.Shadow popped a meatball into his mouth. "What second-in-command? From now on, I'm no longer part of the Crimson Order. Those bastards! I'll kill every single one of them I see from now on!"Stealthbane understood. 'So, this man was the second-in-command of the Crimson Order.'He gave a thumbs-up. "Wise move, Mr. Johnson! It's best to switch sides early and save your life. Speaking of which, I once thought about killing Mr. Johnson. That foolish decision almost cost me the assassin organization I built over decades!"Shadow's eyes narrowed slightly.'This idiot actually wanted to kill Eric? Even so, he survived? It's unbelievable.'Stealthbane chuckled. "By the way, Mr. Second-in-command, the Crimson Order is quite mysterious. I've fought with your people and know a few things, but not much. T

    Although Stealthbane had arrived here, the number of armed bodyguards outside was still substantial, all equipped with guns.After a gunshot rang out, several more shots followed, then silence ensued.Evidently, to guard against exceptionally skilled opponents, merely having guns was insufficient.Even with bulletproof vests, it was futile. Take Eric, for instance—his punch could render a bulletproof vest useless, the sheer force shattering the internal organs of the person wearing it.The bodyguards outside were likely all taken out. Besides the bubbling sound from the boiling pot, there was no other noise.As expected, the ones who eliminated the bodyguards were now entering this villa.Eric glanced at Shadow. "You go protect Michael. The rest is up to Stealthbane and me. Try... to leave someone alive."He only said "try" because even he couldn't guarantee leaving anyone alive.Stealthbane licked his lips. "Let's do it!"Eric nodded slightly and then walked away.Wearing le

    After thinking for a moment, Eric remembered!Back when the underground arena in King City was being cleared, a legend had escaped.It was the very person standing before him!He hadn't expected this person to be a Crimson member.Eric looked at the two people in front of him. "Are you both from the Crimson Order? Didn't the legends who attempted to assassinate Michael come?"The lead legend frowned slightly. "The Innova Group belongs to you?"He was utterly confused.After their encounter in King City, he had been astonished by Eric's profound skills and was equally surprised that the Combat Department had recruited such a young expert.Yet, he had never expected Eric to know Michael, making his presence here perfectly logical.Hearing the lead legend's question, Eric smiled. "It seems Shadow didn't inform you about me, which is why you had no idea I founded the Innova Group."I've answered your question. Now, what about mine?"The legend across from him seemed quite candid

    Stealthbane was genuinely loyal to Eric because the latter had defeated him with sheer strength. However, he was extremely dangerous and treacherous toward others, especially his enemies.Back when he escaped from Erweston, several legends had surrounded him. He had managed to injure a few and still escape unscathed, which was a testament to his formidable skills.Now, in a one-on-one duel, he had the upper hand.He had no regard for honor or fair play, unlike the chivalrous tales. His methods were ruthless, focused solely on defeating his opponent, even killing them if necessary.To him, any means that could eliminate an opponent was a good method. He didn't distinguish between fair and foul play.It was precisely this approach that allowed him to catch the Crimson legend off guard with a sucker punch, giving him an advantage.The Crimson legend spat blood and lost his vigor. Being killed by Stealthbane was only a matter of time.The Crimson duo hadn’t anticipated running into

    Stealthbane’s face turned pale. His opponent was much stronger, and he couldn't beat him.When the leading legend charged at Stealthbane, Eric had already made his move.He attacked from the side, his momentum incredibly terrifying.The leading legend sensed the fearsome power of Eric’s punch and temporarily abandoned Stealthbane to confront Eric instead.Stealthbane was so close that he felt like the wind from the punch would blow his hair off.The clash between the two was immensely terrifying!After a muffled sound, Eric stood still while the leading legend of the Crimson Order staggered back, knocking over the pot, which scattered all over the floor.He didn't stop until he collided with the tempered glass window.Looking at the glass now… it was covered in cracks!Eric's punch was incredibly powerful!The leading legend stared at Eric in horror, struggling to suppress the blood that threatened to spill from his mouth.After a long while, he finally spoke. "In these year

    Eric pondered deeply.He was considering the possibility of handing these two people over to Shadow for disposal.Shadow would definitely kill them, and to Eric, these two legends seemed to have lost their value.Whatever they knew, Shadow should already know!What use were they to him?He didn't want to do the killing himself, so it was better to let Shadow handle the dirty work."Alright!" After thinking for a moment, Eric nodded, "Then I'll leave these two to you."Shadow grabbed the two people and left.Stealthbane popped a meatball into his mouth, swallowed it, and looked at Eric. "Mr. Johnson, why didn't that guy deal with them right here?"Why do I feel like they're all the same? If he doesn't kill them in front of us, won't he let them go?"Eric chuckled, "Let him be. He and Michael may seem at odds on the surface, but they actually don't want to see each other suffer."Michael was hurt so badly by them, so I don't think Shadow will let them go. Michael once asked me

    Perhaps it was because there were many legends there and not much security that they were soon dispatched elsewhere.Eric and his two companions scaled the wall, landing on the grass as they sprinted toward the ancient castle.Stealthbane glanced at Shadow beside him and asked, "Are you sure the leader of the Crimson Order is in there?""Absolutely!" Shadow squinted. "They said tonight's operation was legendary. He’ll definitely be here waiting for news. The leader doesn't care about other news, but if it involves a legend, he’ll be here!""Let’s go!" Eric quickened his pace. His heartbeat accelerated as they approached. Tonight, there might be a fierce battle ahead!The three swiftly moved toward the brightly lit castle.There were still two guards in front of the castle."Leave them to me!" Stealthbane shouted.He pulled out two throwing knives from his coat, and with two swift motions, the guards clutched their throats, their eyes widening before collapsing to the side.S

    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
