In the morning, Eric and Sylvia left the Montgomerys quietly.

"Hmm? Where are they?" Grace wondered, noticing that Eric and Sylvia hadn't come for breakfast. "They don't usually sleep this late."

"They left early in the morning. I saw them running quite fast. How are they supposed to take it if they have to eat so much every day?" Alexander explained.

Meanwhile, the couple enjoyed breakfast at a local cafe.

"Ah!" Sylvia took a big sip of latte. "Finally, I've been craving these pastries!"

Eric chuckled. Sylvia was indeed easy to please.

While filling their stomachs, Eric's phone rang. It was from an unfamiliar number.

"Who's this?"

"Is this Eric Johnson?" the caller asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's me. May I ask who's calling?"

"It's really you, sir! Someone is trying to take over Hernandez Corp.! Can you come to the company?"

Eric frowned, thinking, 'Someone trying to take over Hernandez Corp.? What's going on? Didn't they borrow money from the Montgomery Corp. yesterday?'

    The two families' representatives had already taken their seats in the conference room.Shortly after, Julius arrived with his assistant.A middle-aged man stood up promptly and greeted Julius, "Brother-in-law, how have you been lately?"It was Andrew Calles, Nera's younger brother and the current CEO of the Calles Business Group.Julius remained silent while taking his seat in the main position. He glanced at them and said, "Gentlemen, what brings you to Hernandez Corp.?"He knew they came with ill intentions.Sitting across from Andrew was Curtis Lynar, the current head of the Lynar family. His younger brother, Tyler Lynar, was the one whose penis had been severed by Grace. Despite many years passing, the Lynars still held a second-tier status, never having the opportunity to seek revenge against Grace.Julius knew the two families had joined forces to take over Hernandez Corp.Curtis sighed and said, "Julius, the recent challenges your family is facing are truly lamentable.

    "S-Sir!" Julius' assistant sprang to his feet, clearing a path for Eric and Sylvia.Eric nodded at the man in his 50s who had interrupted his breakfast.Eric took his seat, rubbed his ear, and asked, "How much did you say for the purchase of 51% of the shares? I didn't catch it clearly outside. Say it again."Andrew frowned. "Who are you? What do you have to do with Hernandez Corp.?" He felt uneasy seeing Eric's scarred face."Who am I?" Eric chuckled. "I am Eric Johnson."Andrew's expression changed abruptly. He never expected Julius and Grace's son to return, especially after causing a stir in King City not long ago, resulting in Javier's imprisonment. Additionally, he recognized Sylvia, the Innova Group's CEO and a real troublemaker."Gentlemen, 1 billion dollars isn't going to help Hernandez Corp. Go back before I lose my temper," Eric said indifferently.The two men had mixed feelings. After all, they were determined to take over Hernandez Corp."Instead of benefiting outs

    Andrew and Curtis were hatching nefarious plans. After leaving Hernandez Corp., they headed straight to the Montgomerys.-Andrew grinned broadly. "Mr. Montgomery, how have you been lately?" Alexander remained indifferent. "Gentlemen, what brings you here?" He didn't anticipate their visit. After all, the Montgomerys had no dealings with the Calles and the Lynars.They took their seats, having already discussed their approach on the way there."Mr. Montgomery, since that incident, our families haven't interacted much. I believe our visit is bound to change the dynamics of our relationship."Over twenty years had passed since that incident. At that time, Alexander wasn't the head of the Montgomerys, but he knew what had happened."It's good that the Lynars have come to terms with it," Alexander said.Curtis nodded.As the conversation progressed, Curtis suddenly said, "Mr. Montgomery, considering that the Montgomerys and Hernandezes have never been on good terms, why did you

    "Melvin, see the gentlemen off!" Alexander commanded, and the butler promptly entered.Alexander was well aware that Grace had lent the Hernandezes money since she had consulted with him. Despite the intricate ties between the two families, the Montgomerys never hesitated to extend help when the Hernandezes faced difficulties.Curtis and Andrew left indignantly. They had hoped to make a breakthrough through Alexander, yet they failed and received a scolding."Curtis, what should we do?" Andrew was at a loss.Curtis narrowed his eyes. "It's not the end yet. I'll call my sister."-At Hernandez Corp.Eric and Sylvia were preparing to leave."Why not stay a bit longer?" Julius' assistant suggested.Eric shook his head. "There's a lot we need to attend to. Give me a call if you encounter any issues."Eric knew that the Calles and Lynars wouldn't easily give up."Thank you!" The assistant escorted Eric and Sylvia out of Hernandez Corp.Since there was still time, they headed to

    "They arrived today, along with Curtis Lynar," Alexander stated. "They're targeting Hernandez Corp. and have requested that I refrain from lending money to Julius.""Dad, you didn't agree, did you?" Seraphine asked.Alexander smiled. "Am I the type of person without a mind of my own? But I think they won't give up easily, especially Andrew. He claimed you knocked his son's teeth out and attempted to leverage the incident to dissuade me from lending money to the Hernandezes. Isn't it laughable?""What do the Calles mean? Have they forgotten about the lesson I taught?"Grace harbored grievances against the Calles. When they tried to exploit the situation to connect with the Montgomerys, she resisted their attempts and didn't let them have their way."Let them do as they please as long as they don't involve us," Alexander said.The Montgomerys were quietly amassing wealth, and Alexander was delighted. While other families were entangled in conflicts, they were focused on development

    Andrew attempted to stir up trouble by sowing discord within the Hernandezes, hoping to create more opportunities for success. However, there were certain things he remained unaware of concerning Julius and Nera.Nera sighed. "Do you believe my life has been easy these years? Our marriage is purely a business arrangement. While all of you may have thrived, what about me?"Growing angrier, she continued. "You and Javier sought to use me to manipulate Julius. Ironically, you failed."Julius has never laid a hand on me, not even once in all these years!"Andrew was taken aback—this revelation was unexpected. After all, they seemed like a loving couple."Women from affluent families are essentially sacrifices for the family's ascent. I actually envy Grace. She dares to resist and control her own destiny. And me? In the end, I have nothing!"Andrew felt uneasy upon hearing that.Nera didn't elaborate further before leaving.-At the Hernandez residence.Julius had already returned

    King City's underground scene had lost much of its former vibrancy.Initially, the underworld boasted seven or eight distinct gangs. However, as time passed, only Matteo and his gang endured.Although new factions had emerged, they lacked the notoriety and prowess of their predecessors.-In Eric's lounge.Matteo said, "Mr. Johnson, your participation is sure to elevate the excitement of the underground arena to new heights. While instances of one against two were rare in the past, a one-against-three scenario is unprecedented."Despite the decline in the underworld's fortunes, tales of Eric, or more accurately Ghostface, continued to circulate within King City's underground circles. Eric's dominance, fueled by his energy strikes, persisted in the annals of the underground arena.However, his disappearance after just a few matches led many to speculate that Ghostface had either been recruited by the arena's owner or had met an untimely demise.Eric's reappearance promised to in

    The moment the Krav Maga grandmaster struck, Eric smoothly sidestepped and countered, striking the fighter's arm and repelling him. Next, he simultaneously struck his second and third opponents.Unexpectedly, the audience's observing fighters could not discern Eric's techniques!All three opponents were repelled in the blink of an eye, and the audience could barely track Eric's movements."Ghostface is indeed terrifying! His skills seem to have improved again!" exclaimed spectators familiar with Eric's prowess.It was evident that the three grandmasters were no match for Eric.Eric glanced at them indifferently and remarked, "The quality of fighters in this arena is declining. The three of you couldn't even withstand a single move from me. Let's end this quickly."The three grandmasters trembled!The Formless grandmaster witnessed Eric launch another attack. A terrifying gust of wind preceded it—a straight punch, yet unstoppable!"This is the energy strike?" exclaimed someone i

    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
