Ruth also got out of the car, her expression grave. She speculated that most of the assassins encountered in Catellon were shadow warriors. These assassins were elusive, leaving no trace behind, which made them incredibly troublesome."Have you spotted someone?" Ruth looked around, but the surroundings were eerily silent. Where could there be anyone?Noticing Eric holding several egg-sized stones in his hand, she was astonished."Be careful!" Eric warned, "They are very close to us! Close at hand!"He had studied the Catellonian shadow warriors. They were generally divided into seven ranks: ordinary, junior, intermediate, senior, expert, telluric, and transcendent.Among them, the ordinary shadow warriors were the weakest, while the transcendent shadow warriors were the strongest.The shadow warriors Eric had killed belonged to the senior rank, but he speculated that the transcendent shadow warriors were probably even stronger than legends back in Naturia. Face to face, a tra

"I know!" Eric raised his hand to block the window. "If you don't want to die, roll up the car windows!"Kurt's neck shrank as he hastily rolled up the windows. Though unsure if the car windows could withstand the attacks of shadow warriors, any form of defense was better than being exposed.Fortunately, Ruth returned. Blood stained her new short knives, and she was injured. There were blood streaks on her arm and thigh, the latter deeper and still bleeding."They're too many!" Ruth exclaimed. "Just now, three of them were ready to surround and kill me, but I managed to kill them first!"Eric glanced at Ruth. "Are you a tiger? If you died here, how would I explain to Big Boss? Get in the car!"Ruth sneered. "If you die here, how will I explain to Sylvia? If you dare, come back to the hotel, and I'll let you see for yourself!"Eric's voice turned serious. "Stop joking around at this time—"Before he could finish his sentence, several black shadows appeared not far away from them.

12 shadow warriors—3 slain by Ruth and 9 by Eric!As shadow warriors darted forth, Kurt's complexion turned pale as a ghost. He had no inkling that tonight would bring so many assailants upon them.Simultaneously, he witnessed Eric's terror-inducing prowess. How could so many shadow warriors fail to harm Eric? It was terrifying!In hindsight, Kurt's attempt to have Eric killed seemed ludicrous.These highly trained assassins couldn't lay a finger on Eric.Emerging from the darkness, Eric exuded an aura of death.Ruth had never seen Eric like this before. Evidently, he had grown stronger and more formidable.Ruth even wondered, 'If Eric were to turn criminal… Who could stop him? How many more would die if the Combat Department intervened? Who could defeat such a forceful Eric?'My mentor? Or perhaps, my mentor's mentor Neither seem capable?!'Yet, Eric swiftly regained his composure.Kurt rolled down the car window. "M-Mr. Johnson, is it... is it done?"His voice trembled.Al

The 12 shadow warriors Chuck had sent out were all dead! Not a single one had survived! Chuck's men were quite capable, managing to retrieve the bodies!The 12 corpses lay before Chuck, his facial muscles twitching for a good while. It was mainly the deaths of these 12 top-notch shadow warriors that astounded him.A man approached."Sir, I've checked. Among the 12, three had their throats slit with sharp weapons, while the other nine..." He seemed to doubt life itself. "The other nine had their organs pulverized, yet their exteriors remained intact, even the telluric shadow warrior."Chuck didn't comprehend these details. "What caused it?"The man explained, "Preliminary assessment suggests that there's a formidable expert within Kurt's team. It's said there exist masters in this world whose control over force has reached its peak."The force penetrates from outside and damages internally, leading to the pulverization of their organs! With such an expert protecting Kurt, even t

In the early morning.Ruth had considerably recovered. Eric suggested she rest at the hotel, but she insisted on accompanying them to Genome Inc.-Chuck had been waiting for them. He hadn't slept a wink all night, fully aware that he had messed things up.As they arrived, he ushered Kurt and the others into the company. Seeing that not a single person from the other side was harmed, his heart sank to the depths. All the people he had sent out were dead—the mission complete failure!"Everyone!" he addressed Kurt and the others. "After our urgent discussion, we've agreed to compensate according to your demands. We can arrange the compensation by today!"Kurt was taken aback!He had assumed it would take more effort today, and perhaps the compensation amount would need to be negotiated down a bit. He didn't expect Chuck to be so straightforward. All the explanations he had prepared were rendered useless!Kurt felt a bit frustrated. Chuck was really not playing by the rules!Chuc

Sylvia currently held the position of CEO at King Pharma, previously known as the Oberdeen Group, due to the manipulations orchestrated by the Combat Department.After ending the call, Eric informed Ruth, "Sylvia will be here tomorrow. She mentioned that Chuck and Genome Inc. were merely the representatives brought to light.""That means the real culprit is still at large!"This piece of news greatly surprised Ruth. She had believed Chuck was the mastermind.However, according to Sylvia's information, it appeared to be true. Chuck had messed up, leading to Genome Inc.'s bankruptcy. Faced with this outcome, Chuck seemed to have only one option—death. Survival seemed impossible!In this context, Chuck didn't commit suicide, at least not willingly. He must have been coerced, but it was staged to appear as suicide to outsiders.Ruth glanced at the information and remarked, "Eric, there's significant movement from my mentor as well. Our most advanced warships will be deployed, with th

Sylvia's plan was simple enough. She had come to Catellon under the guise of a collaborator. It was only through this guise that she stood any chance of meeting Smith. Without locating this person, their mission to apprehend him couldn't proceed.The three advanced warships cruising the Velvet Ocean served as their primary firepower, the most direct form of support. After a brief tour of the suite, Sylvia gestured toward Eric and Ruth. "So, you two have been staying here during your time in Catellon? You haven't... shared the same room, have you?" Ruth perked up at these words, crossing her arms and locking eyes with Sylvia. "I have to say, is your man impotent? I even changed clothes in front of him to test him, but he remained indifferent."Eric was taken aback. He had expected Ruth to twist the truth, but he hadn't anticipated her questioning his capabilities. It waas absolutely unbelievable! Sylvia was also taken aback. "Why would you say such a thing?" Ruth scoffed

Sylvia chuckled. "What's there to doubt? I believe he's truly a man who can keep his desires in check."He once said himself that what distinguishes humans from other creatures is our ability to restrain our physical desires. If a man pounces at the sight of a woman, how is he any different from a beast?"Sylvia had always firmly believed in that statement!Last night, she had also tested Eric, and there was definitely nothing between him and Ruth.Why harbor excessive suspicions?Ruth also smiled. "I envy the bond between you and your husband!"Her envy was genuine. She knew Eric had scarred his own face to support Sylvia in coping with her disfigurement. Such bravery was uncommon. Now, Sylvia's unwavering trust in Eric seemed justified.As they conversed, Eric emerged from the bathroom, asking, "What are you discussing?"He assumed Sylvia and Ruth were engaged in serious discussion. Little did he anticipate they were delving into the complexities of male-female relationships.
