Robert was a formidable presence, but Eric was even more intimidating.

The staff understood that Robert's authority largely came from Eric, though they were unaware of Eric's exact background—only that it was exceptionally powerful.

The previous mayor, returning from a meeting at Nutikiville's reservoir, had openly admitted that Eric had reprimanded him, leading to a profound epiphany. Anyone who dared to scold the mayor must be someone of immense influence.

Some, unafraid of causing trouble, followed Eric and Robert straight to the mayor's office, curious to witness the commotion.

Donald personally came out to greet them. "Hahaha! Mr. Johnson, I heard birds chirping melodically this morning. It turns out it was an omen of your arrival!"

Eric remained silent.

Robert, his face stern, took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Donald. "Mr. Ford, I heard that this proposal was your idea and that you are implementing it across all of Salt City?"

Donald was ca

    The onlookers dispersed only after the secretary closed the door. Everyone knew that something significant had occurred—Donald had been assaulted. Such an event seemed almost impossible, but it had indeed happened, and everyone had witnessed it.Donald, furious, dabbed at the blood on his head with a piece of tissue. "Inform everyone that this incident is not to be spoken of!"Although he didn't specify the consequences of leaking the information, everyone was well aware of what they might be. Dismissal was out of the question. Once you’ve held this position, letting it go is almost impossible, unless they voluntarily gave it up.The secretary returned, still pale.Donald's anger hadn't abated. "These rich folks are truly arrogant! And that Wilson fella—he’s also involved in this nonsense! I suspect he’s taken Eric’s money!"The secretary, however, couldn't agree. "Commissioner Wilson is a native of Salt City. I've heard his backing is formidable. About a year ago, he had an oppor

    Sylvia had already returned to the office. "I thought you were going to stay with Donald for a while."Eric snorted. "What’s the point? He was the one pushing things, so I punched him out of anger. Even then, I didn’t feel any better!"Sylvia smiled gently. She didn't say anything, but she might have wanted to punch Donald too. The man was infuriating.After a moment of thought, Sylvia added, "By the way, Sam and Izzie are still here. It seems a few key technical talents from their team have been poached."The father and daughter duo were formerly responsible for the operations at the chip technology company Frontier Digital.Years ago, the entire Hampton family and Frontier Digital relocated from Volpolis to Salt City, with the Hamptons overseeing the move. Given their expertise, it made sense to entrust them with such responsibilities.Over the past few years, the Hamptons had performed admirably, providing substantial support to the Innova Group. In turn, the company had heavi

    Sam was anxious about the possibility of some top-level technicians defecting to Salt City’s new chip company. This concern also crossed Eric’s mind. The situation was straightforward. Frontier Digital, backed by the well-funded Innova Group, offered excellent benefits and housing for its employees. Even if the company-provided accommodation wasn’t ideal, the salaries were high enough for employees to afford homes outright in Salt City.Why would they leave, then? The reason was simple: higher salaries elsewhere.From this perspective, it appeared that only the newly emerged Frontier Tech could provide such enticing compensation. The departure of a few key technicians didn’t significantly impact Frontier Digital, provided they didn’t take the company’s latest technology with them.Ruth soon identified the financial backers behind the scenes.Eric had no doubt there was significant investment involved in this new company. The field required enormous investment, often running into

    As for the technology from Frontier Digital? They weren't impressed. After all, foreign technology was always perceived as more advanced than domestic.After his speech, Donald approached Eric and the others with a wide smile. "Ms. Williams, Frontier Tech is a high-tech company, just like the Innova Group. Thankfully, there's no competition between your companies. Together, these two companies should be able to boost Salt City's economy and other aspects significantly."Knowing that this man still had his eyes on Innova Group, Sylvia smiled back. "Mr. Ford, it's a responsibility that every enterprise should shoulder. We have no choice but to do our part."Donald glanced at Eric but said nothing further before moving on to greet others.Ruth frowned. "Is this the guy who targeted the Innova Group and had kids sign organ donation consent forms?"Eric nodded slightly.Ruth's displeasure was evident. "What a bastard! If any child goes missing in Salt City and can't be found, let me k

    With wealth and youthful energy on his side, things became much easier to accomplish. Sam began laying out his plans. This step had been in his strategy for some time. Now, it was just a matter of calculating the costs. Free from financial worries, he had nothing else to be concerned about.Eric had just seen Sam off when the phone rang. Seeing it was Jacob calling, Eric answered. "What now?"He assumed it was someone Jacob had detained and beaten up, leading to the call. Jacob had become quite an admirer of Eric lately."Eric!" Jacob swallowed nervously. "You’ve got a letter here. Seems like some kind of... summons! They insisted it be handed to you directly. You should come check it out!"Eric was puzzled. 'A summons? What kind of summons could be for me?'When he arrived at Jacob’s guard station and opened the envelope, he found it was indeed a court summons, notifying him of a hearing date."Wow!" Jacob glanced at it and was immediately shocked. "Eric, even someone like you c

    In truth, Donald's current situation was quite dire.Elijah had indeed boosted Salt City's economic development, enriching its citizens, but the municipal government was left quite impoverished. Most of the funds had been poured into the city's infrastructure, and by the time Donald took office, there was hardly any money left.He sometimes lamented that his predecessor had cast the net too wide, leaving him now scrambling to make ends meet.Yet, even if there were funds, Donald would still target the Innova Group. Bringing such a giant under public control would be a monumental achievement.His secretary offered a knowing smile but kept his thoughts to himself. After all, the Innova Group's money was their own. What did it have to do with them?Acquiring the company would certainly be beneficial, but if it wasn’t possible, they should stop obsessing over it since it wasn’t their property to begin with.Both men knew, however, that Robert’s investigation likely wouldn’t yield any

    The issue of voluntary organ donations was still being pushed forward, despite the predictable chorus of complaints.Donald had his ways of suppressing the dissenting voices. To him, opposition was merely a nuisance, not a real problem.The court date was yet to come, and Eric wasn’t particularly concerned. He would deal with it when the time came. However, it was only a few days away.To his surprise, Lora, whom he hadn’t seen for several days, appeared unexpectedly. The last time he saw her in person was on the hospital rooftop when Ruth had attempted to jump. That was nearly half a month ago.Eric had assumed Lora was just busy with work, but why did she have time to visit the Innova Group?Lora seemed quite familiar with Eric’s office. She entered, tossed her bag onto the sofa, and sighed. "I'm not a teacher anymore, and now I’m truly free!"She looked relieved, yet there was an unmistakable trace of regret in her eyes.Eric noticed this contradiction. He had heard from Tobi

    Pierce was acutely aware that children were the future. If even they were harmed and targeted, what future could there be? Without a present, talking about the future was futile.Lora overheard Ruth's conversation.By the time Ruth hung up, Lora was utterly stunned. "Y-You can legislate?!"She was terrified, feeling that people like Eric and Ruth were practically supernatural. How had she, of all people, come to know such individuals? Was this even within her reach? It was terrifying!Ruth remained calm. "It’s nothing extraordinary. Of course, we don’t act recklessly. If no one steps forward to push forward what everyone opposes, then it's up to us to take action."Lora let out a breath, feeling that in this matter, Ruth was right. The organization behind Ruth and Eric was right. If it wasn’t for protecting the children, she wouldn’t have lost her job.Ruth glanced at Lora and asked curiously, "By the way, don’t you have classes today? Why are you here? It’s not lunchtime."Lora

    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
