After the court's decision, Eric and Sylvia left immediately. They needed to return to their hometown due to the lack of updates from the police, which suggested slow progress in the case.

As they were about to enter their car, Richard and his group hurriedly approached.

Seeing Eric about to get in the car, they urgently called out, "Wait, Eric, wait for us!"

Eric turned and asked, "Uncle Richard, is there something else?"

With a friendly grin, Richard replied, "Eric, you still call me 'Uncle Richard'. Your father and I are brothers. Given our family connection, could you reconsider the lawsuit? We won't pursue the money anymore. It wasn't meant for me, after all."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Richard." Eric chuckled. "It's too late now. I won't withdraw the lawsuit. I never expected you to mention that you're my father's brother. Please prepare for a public apology, remove all the Internet posts, and..."

He smiled at Richard and continued. "Be prepared to pay 70,000 dollars. Otherwise, the

    Sylvia was infuriated and had her lawyer and the court take coercive measures the next morning.Firstly, they used legal procedures to remove the defamatory posts from the Internet and then froze Richard's bank accounts.-"Fuck!" Gavin cursed when he received the call.The call came from the court, instructing them to publicly apologize online. Additionally, a total of 70,000 dollars had been withdrawn from their bank accounts. Richard felt like someone had stabbed him in his heart when he realized he had lost so much money. It was the compensation money for the land. His initial goal was to obtain Blake's money, but instead, he lost his own."I'll sue them! I'm going to sue them for taking my money!" Richard fumed."Dad!" Gavin said, wearing a bitter expression. "It was the court that took your money. Are you going to sue the court?"This brought Richard to his senses.Jared and Kayden faced more difficulties than Richard and Gavin. Their financial situation was not as good

    Blake said calmly, "Mom, how am I making things difficult for them? I have no idea what you mean."Blake was not lying. He had not been involved in the lawsuit and was unaware that their bank accounts had been frozen.Alyssa lamented, "You are all brothers! As the eldest, why can't you give in a little to your younger brothers? Why must you do this to them? Do you want them to die?"Richard had complained to her before coming here. He had told her that Blake not only failed to share the compensation money with them but also took legal action against them. As a result, their bank accounts were frozen.Alyssa had a stronger bond with her two younger sons and supported them regardless of their actions. As for her eldest son, she didn't have much concern for him.Blake looked somewhat troubled, "Mom, I really don't know what you're talking about. What did I do to them? They are the ones who have been trying to cause trouble for Elly and Eric."Blake remained calm as well. Perhaps he

    "Even now, they still want to steal the money my father struggled to get back for his land. How could you not blame them but us instead? Don't you think that's a little bit illogical?" Eric continued. "If anyone should apologize, it should be them. Otherwise, I won't let this end."The bank accounts haven't been unfrozen because they haven't apologized. If they don't do so, we have the right to sue and demand compensation again. I hope the balance in their bank accounts can last until that time."The mention of another lawsuit alarmed Richard and his group. "Eric!" Richard said, grinning from ear to ear, "I'm sorry for everything we've done. Can you ask the court to unfreeze our accounts? Also, can you return the money? We're all family. Why make things difficult for each other?""Return the money?" Eric chuckled, "What money? Besides, I haven't made things difficult for you guys. I'm just asking you to post an apology to clear our name. You're skilled at posting online, right? Th

    With Richard and his group leaving, the nail salon finally quieted down.Blake let out a long sigh and said, "We've completely fallen out with your uncles."He had not wanted things to escalate to this point but had become older and had less energy to manage these issues. Moreover, he learned to take many things in stride after the recent car accident.Eric understood his father's feelings and reassured him, "Dad, consider it a lesson to Uncle Richard and Jared. I haven't used a single cent from their money."After that, he took out the bank card and handed it to Blake.Blake pushed the card back and said, "The court wanted them to pay you for a reason. Your uncles went too far this time. Don't return it. Consider it a compensation for these years for you and your sister."He knew his two brothers were not short of money, and his children were doing well, too.Eric accepted the bank card without saying more. However, he noticed that his father's back seemed to have stooped a lit

    "Let's think it this way," Andy said. "Although we're partners, there might still be some conflicts inevitably. If I end up with Elly, then most of those conflicts won't exist, right?"Eric glanced at Andy and felt he made sense. If Andy really ended up with Elly, their bond would be unbreakable."It really depends on my sister," Eric explained. "Whether it can happen relies on her. You see, she just went through a divorce, and her heart must be hurting a lot. On top of that, she recently started her own business, so she might not be ready for it right now.""No worries." Andy grinned. "Patience is the key in life."Eric was at a loss for words. He didn't have much to say about relationships because he also had experienced a failed one.Soon, Elly returned. When she spotted Andy, her expression soured."Elly," Andy approached her, but she just rolled her eyes."Take the cherries back. They're quite expensive," Elly said.Andy smiled widely and replied, "I know you and the kids

    Sylvia sensed Eric's eagerness to know the answer but hesitated to introduce him to her master. She hadn't shared the complete story with her master yet. If her master said anything that revealed her secret, she'd be in serious trouble.She could only tell Eric that her master had gone out for training. But once Eric had dropped her at Williams Corp., she headed back to the Williams' residence.Her master lived there full-time, dedicating himself to martial arts research. The family financially supported him, and he taught martial arts exclusively to the four siblings.When Amelia saw Sylvia, she frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Vee? Did you two get into a fight again?"For the past three months of their marriage, every time Sylvia returned home, it meant she had argued with Eric.Sylvia chuckled as she hugged her mother. Mom, this is my home. Must I always come back after a fight with Eric?"Amelia raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, come on! You've hardly been home these p

    Sylvia knew exactly when Eric had begun his martial arts journey. Initially, he was inexperienced, and his previous environment wasn't conducive to martial arts training. Furthermore, if Eric were a true martial arts expert, he could have defeated her long ago, given the promises she had made.Tyson said, "Well then, bring him over later. I'll assess his skills."Sylvia had the same idea.After discussing a few matters with Tyson, she returned to Williams Corp. and invited Eric. Together, they headed to a quiet park.The park was empty in the morning, making it perfect for Tyson and Eric to exchange a few moves. From a distance, Eric spotted Tyson standing as firm as a post."That's my master, and you should address him as such," Sylvia instructed Eric.Eric nodded, and they approached Tyson. Just as he was about to address Tyson as "master," he was taken by surprise by Tyson's sudden attack—a Jab Punch and a lunge at Eric.Eric was shocked. While he had been practicing martial

    In the car, Eric exclaimed, "Your master is awesome! I couldn't find any openings in his techniques."Sylvia smiled. She believed Eric had great potential in martial arts—he just needed more exposure to various techniques. If he trained more with her master, his skills would surely improve significantly, and defeating her would only be a matter of time.After spending some time at Williams Corp., two uniformed individuals approached them. Eric appeared mildly surprised, wondering if there had been a breakthrough in the case.As expected, one of them stated, "We matched the fingerprints from the clues you provided. Your car's perpetrator that day was your third uncle, Jared Johnson.""W-What?!" Eric was shocked.While it wouldn't have shocked him if it were Richard, Jared was the last person he expected. In his memory, Jared had always been timid. How could he commit such a reckless act?The police officer continued. "We also located the vehicle involved in your father's hit-and-r

    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
