Someone triggered the infrared alarm, prompting the guard to swiftly stand up. He noticed a shadow rushing toward the villa!

"Stop!" he shouted, lunging forward and punching the shadow.

The shadow stopped, turned around, and retaliated with a punch!

The guard was sent flying across the ground, blood spewing from his mouth. He couldn't muster the strength to draw his gun. Despite his martial arts skills, he was rendered motionless with just a punch. The intruder was exceptionally powerful!

The alarm had awakened Eric and Ruth. They witnessed the shadow take down the guard from the second floor.

Eric furrowed his brow. "This person is formidable."

"How strong? Stronger than Shadow?" Ruth asked.

Eric didn't answer, but the punch made him realize that the intruder was on par with a legend. Breaking into the villa in the middle of the night, he was likely coming for Ruth. Such people would surely possess some clues.

Eric descended the stairs, determined to intervene tonight without

    Due to Eric's speed and robust inner energy, the power he unleashed was enough to startle legends!However, it was the assassins' first encounter with Eric. He was well aware of Eric's legendary status and couldn't afford to be careless, but the power Eric unleashed left him astonished!The assassin screamed miserably as he was blasted several meters away. He coughed violently and was appalled. At his level, defeating an opponent of the same caliber with just one move was challenging, yet he couldn't withstand Eric's single punch. He felt that Eric was extraordinary.Ruth was also stunned. Every time Eric made a move, it felt different. She even wondered if Eric's martial arts prowess surpassed Pierce's.After regaining her senses, Ruth approached the assassin. She wanted to know who wanted her dead, and this assassin surely knew something.Ruth grabbed the assassin, who had already lost his combat ability.The assassin was furious. Being a top assassin, he failed his mission and

    Eric and Ruth shared a glance. Stealthbane was even more afraid of death than they had anticipated."Then hurry up and investigate. You only have one day," Ruth urged.Despite the serious injuries, Stealthbane couldn't escape even with time. Yet, in just two hours, he had gathered relevant information. For him, life was more precious than revealing the client's identity."This person is in King City! His money went through three accounts, but my people traced it back to the initial account in King City. His family name is Vernon, and this is his IP address."While it was not a full name, Stealthbane's information was comprehensive enough to reveal the client's identity."It's Dante Vernon!" Ruth's expression darkened. When the first two assassins targeted her, she suspected Dante but lacked evidence. Now, with clues from Stealthbane, it was undoubtedly him.Moreover, Dante had motives.After some thought, Ruth told Stealthbane, "When the person from King City asked you to kill m

    Lionel displayed clear displeasure, his face etched with a stern expression."Lieutenant General Vernon! Are your words trustworthy?""Absolutely!" Dante grinned. "The procedures have been completed. I will revoke the wanted order for Ruth shortly. Mr. McClain, please be patient!"Dante had no other choice—the pressure was too much. Even though it was frustrating, he could only allow Ruth to come back first and then think of other solutions."I promised to fulfill your request, and I hope you won't disappoint me, Mr. McClain," Dante added."Don't worry." Lionel nodded. "I won't reveal anything under the premise of ensuring the safe return of my daughter.""That's great!"However, Dante had other plans in mind.-Soon, the wanted order for Ruth was canceled, and Dante began certain arrangements. Having seen the video in Sylvia's hands, he informed his superiors that Lionel and Sylvia were plotting to frame him.If the video was leaked, he wouldn't be in a completely defensive

    Several days later, Ruth returned. No one knew where she had been, and even the people Dante had sent to track her had lost her halfway. Her first task upon returning was to find Sylvia."It's enough. I don't want to wait any longer," she said as she received valuable information from Sylvia.The only thing missing was the voiceprint comparison for Pierce, but it did not matter now.She decided to deliver the final blow to Dante."What if Dante becomes desperate?" Sylvia asked worriedly.Dante did not dare to do anything to her because she had evidence against him on her hands. However, if he feels trapped, he might go all out and confront them."I'm not afraid," Ruth replied. "In the past few days, I've called for reinforcements. Tonight, I'll contact my comrades from the Combat Department again and try to take down Dante as soon as possible!"Sylvia frowned. She had always been cautious about dealing with Dante due to numerous concerns. However, she also wanted Eric to return

    Lionel frowned. "What agreement? Did we agree that my daughter couldn't report you? I remember we agreed that she wouldn't return to the Combat Department, right?"Dante's face darkened. He was too anxious and presumptuous. Ruth's report had thrown him off balance. From Lionel's words, he knew that Lionel had turned against him.Ruth sat calmly on the side. The McClains lacked a legend, but she wasn't afraid. She was confident that Dante wouldn't dare to harm her.Dante knew very well that it must be Lionel or someone from Sylvia's side who provided Ruth with the evidence, allowing her to report him boldly."Just you wait," Dante said and left.Watching Dante's departing figure, Lionel sighed. "Honey, you've been a bit impulsive. Dante will definitely prepare when he goes back, and it will be even more difficult for us to take action by then."He knew how challenging it was to bring down someone like Dante."No problem. Let him prepare," Ruth said indifferently.She was fully p

    Shadow had fabricated the video, and Dante found himself in a panic. He even toyed with the idea of ending it all by taking out everyone present, realizing he was doomed either way. However, he hesitated.Among the people across from him, someone with graying hair caught his eye, someone he didn't recognize. King City housed numerous talented individuals, and he couldn't be sure if this person was specifically targeting him.He clung to hope until the very last moment.The group meticulously scrutinized the document, leaving unchecked no word or punctuation mark. This examination lasted for hours, focusing solely on a video where Dante slandered Eric and the others.After the scrutiny, they engaged in hushed discussions and deliberations for nearly an hour. During this time, one person even left momentarily.Sylvia and Ruth weren't overly nervous, but Dante was on edge. The longer the proceedings, the more anxious he became. The extended time suggested that Sylvia's provided evide

    Ruth stepped forward, armed with information to submit—specifically about those two videos.Dante's heart skipped a beat. If the video accusing Eric and the others could undergo voiceprint analysis, what about those two videos?As anticipated, several people frowned upon seeing what Ruth had provided. Skepticism loomed high. After all, if the videos proving the treason of Pierce and the others were fake, then these two videos could also be fabricated.A more thorough examination and meticulous comparison followed. By now, the sky outside had darkened.Finally, the lead person addressed Dante, "Lieutenant General Vernon, have you encountered the second in charge of the Crimson Order, Shadow, also known as Lucius Ortega, in a forest on the outskirts of King City? This encounter took place about a month before the Larson incident."Dante was stunned. Quickly composing himself, he asserted, "Gentlemen, if the video implicating General Fischer is forged, then these two videos of mine a

    At the forefront of the group stood an elderly man with white hair. As they entered, Ruth promptly stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Sir."After returning from Phoenix City, Ruth had left for a few days to seek assistance from Pierce's mentor.Pierce lacked the support of a prominent family or a powerful force. His martial prowess was nurtured under the guidance of the white-haired elder, shaping him into the extraordinary individual he had become.The old man waved his hand. "You've worked hard. I see the splendor of our great nation's women in both of you."He felt a deep sense of pride. Under his guidance, Pierce was already a remarkable figure. Even Ruth displayed remarkable courage and skill.The white-haired elder gestured for everyone to sit. "This incident has also served as a wake-up call for Pierce. Enemies are everywhere, and one must not let their guard down."As for Dante, he's definitely feeling uneasy. It won't be long before he acts, most likely within the n

    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
