"Mr. Johnson always knows how to handle the situation!" Tiger lit a cigarette and said, "But I have a feeling they won't let it go easily. They'll definitely come back to cause more trouble."If they're just targeting the streets, it's not a big deal. But I fear they have bigger plans to create chaos in the entire city and profit from it!"Tiger knew their tactics all too well because he had climbed the ranks using the same methods. They would test the waters and gauge the street's strength. Only after confirming they could take control would they make their move.They undoubtedly had big ambitions!"There's no need for concern, Tiger," Eric said. "If that's the case, then these people indeed have malicious intentions."Let's do this: I'll figure out a way to expose them."Tiger nodded repeatedly. "It seems like that's our best option for now."-The night passed without incident.How despicable were those rogue elements?Eric had thought last night's encounter involved all
Roland sighed with a wry smile. "In an instant, this pond has become completely murky. Who knows how many people will fight tooth and nail for these prizes?"He marveled at Eric's grand gesture of giving away such a vast sum without hesitation.The annual profit of an average listed company was merely in the tens of millions, which was already considered substantial.But billions? It would take many years for a company to earn that much.Eric waved his hand dismissively. "You're joking. My principle is simple: if money can solve a problem, it's not a problem."Alas, many problems can't be solved with money. If I could bring peace to this world by giving away all my wealth, I wouldn't hesitate to do so."He spoke sincerely. Over the years, he had traveled far and wide, experiencing all kinds of events.A person's perspective changed with age.When his monthly salary was 1,000 dollars, Eric dreamed of financial freedom. Now that he had long achieved that goal, he saw the world as
The matches raged on fiercely.After observing for two days, Pierce decided to leave. His days had become more relaxed.The Haevon virus was still rampant, causing many issues to be resolved abruptly. Perhaps it was because there was no suitable environment for those issues to thrive.As the competition progressed, many martial arts styles believed to be lost or forgotten reemerged unexpectedly."These people have hidden themselves very well!" Tyson exclaimed. "I'm quite curious, where have they been hiding all this time? Even though the world is vast, such figures usually can't remain concealed!"And why did they choose this moment to suddenly appear?"He had numerous questions. Mainly, he couldn't understand their backgrounds. They seemed to emerge out of thin air, making it difficult to trace their origins.He said, "Eric, that money shouldn't be given to them for nothing, right? If you continue like this, you'll be left with nothing!"He believed Eric was not someone who wo
They all thought the organizers were complete fools. After all, wasn't the championship winner and runner-up something they decided among themselves?They were all part of the same group. No matter how close the results were, they would end up pocketing everything. It was almost too good to be true.As they spoke, a man with a mustache stepped forward. "We got the money, but the operation hasn't gone smoothly. We faced utter defeat in Salt City. There's a truly formidable expert here, and despite our numbers, we can't handle him!"He was referring to Eric.The group's trip to Salt City was about more than just claiming the prize money from the competition. They also aimed to help the mustached man, Logan Artemisio, take control of the city. It was clear they were focused on securing the top prize.Logan continued. "Salt City has three key factions: one in the underground world, and the Sonnex and Williams families. If we take down these three, Salt City will be ours."He added, "
Seeing Eric single-handedly take on numerous opponents, the Lockes decided to target the weaker ones.It wasn't long before Tyson and his men arrived.Eric sent one opponent flying with a single punch and shouted, "Why are you all getting involved? This place is too dangerous. Go back! I can handle this alone!""Handle it alone?" The competition champion sneered. "Arrogant fool. Tonight, you'll die!"Eric raised his hand and delivered a punch that sent the champion reeling backward.The champion stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood, glaring at Eric. "Such ferocity. What style of martial arts is this?"Fear and disbelief gripped him. After the competition, he had been hailed as the number one martial artist in the country, yet he couldn’t withstand a single punch from Eric.Was this the supreme master with unparalleled skills that others had spoken of? It was truly terrifying!"You won’t have the chance to find out!" Eric darted forward, intending to finish off the champion.
Sylvia knew that Eric was doing all this for their family. She looked at him seriously and said, "Promise me you'll come back safely! Take more people with you. It's dangerous over there!""Okay!" Eric nodded repeatedly.He dared not be complacent. This time, once Stealthbane had assessed the situation, he would bring as many people as possible.Roland had already retired. Even if the new figures in Dortmund City were wiped out, he wouldn't return or follow Eric to Haevon.However, the likes of Tiger and Matteo received Eric's message. Even Pierce had dispatched a team of top experts to accompany Eric to Haevon after concealing their identities. They were just waiting for Stealthbane to fully understand the situation there.Stealthbane was already making arrangements. He knew this might be the ultimate battle and had sent everyone to Haevon first. While gathering intel, they were also preparing for the subsequent tasks.The sages and strategists were also heading to Haevon to add
Stealthbane unfolded the map of Haevon and addressed the group."Take a look here. The population in Haevon has dwindled significantly. The wealthy who arrived a few months ago have all concentrated in the Holy Mountain. We speculate that it's the Ark's location!" he said.Jack's face showed clear confusion. "Ark? What on earth is that? I've never heard of it before."Stealthbane chuckled lightly. "This is something very few people know about. Only the world's top billionaires are aware of the so-called Ark. In the end, I received an invitation as well, but I dismissed their offer."Now it's clear that whether it's the tycoons or the masterminds behind them, they are all hiding in the Ark."I received unsettling news on your way here. They're preparing to release a brand-new virus that can annihilate all humans except those inside the Ark!"Jack was taken aback. "Oh my goodness! Does that mean the vaccine we had before is useless now?""What's with the panic?" Stealthbane replie
The Holy Templar's strength was evident.A long time ago, St. Pius had arranged for people to be sent to the Ark.Furthermore, he possessed the most complete blueprints of the Ark. Lacking the ability to use them himself, St. Pius handed the blueprints over to Eric.Eric's eyes gleamed as he looked at the detailed blueprints, much more specific than those Stealthbane had."Your Eminence, where did you get these?" he asked, astonished.It seemed incredible that these blueprints had ended up in St. Pius' hands.St. Pius sighed. "The Ark was constructed by a company under our Holy Templar. Unfortunately, we didn't know what they were building at the time. I hope these maps will be helpful to you."Most importantly, if you attack that place, we can provide additional support, such as sending more troops and so on.""Good!" Eric nodded. "Once we have studied them, we'll notify you."He summoned Stealthbane and several sages to begin their analysis.Unfortunately, the blueprints we
