George never expected government intervention. After all, the Whitlocks had informed the local authorities in Sunridge about their activities, so he doubted any action would be taken against him.

"What department are you from?" George asked, visibly frustrated and confused about which department dared to take action against him.

Miller sat across from him and said, "I can't believe you still have the nerve to ask that. It seems you've become extremely arrogant! But I'll tell you anyway. I'm from the Combat Department. Ever heard of it?"

George shook his head. He had never heard of the Combat Department.

Miller did not find it surprising, given George's social status. He had no access to such high-level information.

Looking at George calmly, Miller explained, "During our time in Sunridge, we've gathered quite a bit of information about your activities. Sunridge Human Resources Limited is nothing more than a company you established with Whitlocks Construction to evade your responsib

    Looking at Miller's expression, Eric knew the case was not as simple as it seemed."They…" Miller gritted his teeth, and finding the right words took him a while. "They sacrificed them to reinforce the building structure!"Eric and Sylvia were appalled.Williams Corp. primarily dealt with construction, and Sylvia knew of such an ancient tradition. Although Eric had never done any construction work before, he was well aware of this ancient practice.He clenched his fists and snarled. "These bastards! Have you started the operation?"Miller nodded.Then, Eric asked again, "Have you contacted the demolition team?"Miller knew that Eric wanted to demolish the completed data center building. If they demolished it now, it would take at least one or two more years to start building from scratch.However, Eric and Sylvia did not mind.Miller immediately contacted the demolition team and took George to the project site.-After marking the 32 locations, the entire construction site

    "This is outrageous!" Sylvia exclaimed, her voice seething with anger. "What are they trying to do? Do they want the Innova Group to suppress this matter?"From Benedict's words, it was evident that the Whitlocks were likely involved in this matter. Unable to locate Miller, they turned to Eric. Given the Innova Group's interests at stake, the Whitlocks anticipated Eric's compliance. However, they were in for a surprise—Eric was the mastermind behind the investigation.Moreover, the Innova Group would never profit from such illicit gains.-Benedict returned to the Whitlock residence and briefed Dominic Whitlock on his negotiation with Eric."What?! He refuses?!" Dominic frowned. "What the hell is wrong with them? Are they idiots? How are they going to make money if the project is delayed for a few more years?""Sir, based on my observation, he's not simple," Benedict explained. "He's always with the man who arrested Houston. Besides, he's the one who attacked George at the constr

    Eric and Sylvia had gone to bed while Miller and several Combat Department members were still organizing documents.Suddenly, Miller frowned as he caught something in the air. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Fire?"He looked toward the door, only to see billowing smoke seeping in through the crack."Fuck!" Miller cursed and opened the door. The entire corridor had been consumed by flames."Fuck!" While cursing, he approached the window and glanced down. "Quick, pack up the computer! Tear the bedsheet to make a rope! We need to get down from here!"They were on the 18th floor, and even a grandmaster jumping from that height would end up as a pile of flesh.However, Miller remained calm. After giving orders to his men, he called Eric.Eric woke up to flames outside the corridor. Knowing they couldn't escape through the corridor, he opened the window. However, seeing how high they were now made him dizzy.He wasn't overly worried about Miller and the others since he knew they wer

    Dominic fervently wished for the fire to obliterate every piece of evidence. The city's premier hotel had been engulfed in flames, ensuring it would be front-page news. Dominic had already acquired some preliminary information."How many casualties on the 18th floor? How many managed to escape?"The Whitlocks had obtained the hotel's data. Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically targeted the 18th floor.Benedict reported, "14 guests were on the 18th floor, and none survived.""Perfect!" Dominic exclaimed with delight. "So, everyone on the 18th floor is gone! No evidence against my family remains. Let's see who dares to investigate my family in the future!"He exhibited no concern for the fate of those on the 19th and 20th floors as if their lives had no connections to him or the Whitlocks.Benedict spoke. "Among those who apprehended Houston, some lingered on the 18th floor. There's a chance they perished in the fire. If so, we're essentially responsible for the deaths of hi

    Benedict forced himself to calm down and greeted, "Mr. Smithson, please come in!"Miller nodded.Once he took his seat, Dominic smiled and asked, "What brought you here today, Mr. Smithson?"Looking at Dominic, Miller calmly stated, "Do you know that my men and I were nearly burned alive in the hotel fire last night? We found out that three mentally ill patients set the fire, but by the time we located them, two of them were dead."Mr. Whitlock, with your extensive connections, do you happen to know who orchestrated this?"Dominic's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know which department Miller belonged to and wondered how he had gathered so many clues so quickly.Fortunately, he had instructed Benedict to take care of the three people. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble.Maintaining his smile, Dominic replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Smithson. I think I can't help you with this. Besides, mentally ill patients have messed-up minds. Who knows what they were thinking when they set the

    Sylvia anticipated Dominic's response. "Mr. Whitlock, avoiding responsibility isn't the best course of action. My findings reveal that Whitlocks Construction is under the direct control of the Whitlock Group, as the group owns all the shares."Given the legal issues surrounding Whitlocks Construction, with its assets frozen and seized, if the Innova Group's losses exceed what Whitlocks Construction can cover, we'll have to look to the Whitlock Group and your family for additional compensation.""Are you trying to intimidate me, Ms. Williams?" Dominic asked with a frown.Sylvia smiled faintly. "Mr. Whitlock, this is not intimidation. The real intimidation was the fire on the 18th floor of Sunridge Hotel last night. Fortunately, due to certain reasons, we were not at the hotel. Otherwise, Mr. Johnson and I would be among the people burned to death."Sylvia was furious, still shuddering at the thought of the people burned to death. If not for eliminating Miller and preventing unfavora

    Houston knew that Dominic would come to his rescue.Miller chuckled. "Release you? Dominic didn't ask me to release you. Instead, he claimed that everything was your doing and had no connection to the Whitlocks. Do you know that what you did is enough for you to be sentenced to death for ten lifetimes?"However, the Combat Department won't let you die so easily! We won't just kill you with one blow, and we certainly won't shoot you dead!"We believe in an eye for an eye. How you kill other people is how we'll kill you! First, we'll peel your flesh off piece by piece. While you're still breathing, we'll use you as a human sacrifice!"Houston's face turned pale. He dared not imagine what Miller said, but he knew being used as a human sacrifice was horrifying. Even with everything sealed, he could still hear their desperate and chilling screams."What a pity." Miller sighed. "Unfortunately, there's currently not much evidence directly linking to the Whitlock Group. But I believe the

    On a hospital bed lay a severely injured man—one of the trio responsible for setting fire to the hotel. Contrary to appearances, they weren't mentally ill; the Whitlocks had fabricated their records to avoid investigation.Ultimately, the Whitlocks decided to eliminate them and dispatched someone to the mental hospital to end their lives.After a daring escape, the Combat Department eventually located the injured individual.Upon regaining consciousness, he divulged the entire truth. The mastermind behind the arson plot was Benedict.-Armed with the evidence, Miller paid Dominic another visit, accompanied by six grandmasters.Dominic noted the tension but still greeted him with a smile. "Mr. Smithson, what brings you here again?"Miller calmly took a seat and fixed his gaze on Dominic. "Mr. Whitlock, is there anything else you'd like to confess now?"Dominic was momentarily taken aback. This time, Miller's tone signaled a shift from their previous encounter. It appeared to Dom

    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
