Chapter 1309
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.
Chapter 1314
Could Leroy represent the GI Group?This was a question that lingered deeply.If the GI Group had been established for some time and Leroy had been pushed to the forefront, then it would have been acceptable.After all the formalities were completed, Leroy could indeed represent the company.However, now, Sylvia expressed serious doubts. If Leroy couldn't represent the company, then the contract would be meaningless.Sylvia didn't want the contract to have any effect. The main goal was to lure Smith out.After observing Leroy's silence for a while, Sylvia smiled. "Mr. Domus, in that case, let's wait until someone representing the GI Group arrives before we proceed further."She was never one to beat around the bush. With that said, she departed with her entourage, leaving Leroy completely bewildered.The GI Group boasted financial robustness, and following Genome Inc.'s restructuring, its research prowess was formidable. Numerous companies were eager to collaborate. Yet, this C

Leroy voiced his concern, "We must deploy our covert operatives to investigate Kurt, but King City is a very dangerous place for that. If our operatives are exposed, it's a dead end." Years ago, there were some intelligence operatives stationed in King City from Catellon, but after the Crescent Order incident, the Combat Department swiftly acted. They not only eradicated the Crescent Order's shells but also targeted operatives from various countries. Inserting operatives into King City has become exceedingly difficult!Smith furrowed his brow. "Are we left with no other options? I can manage to retrieve funds from the GHO, but what about Naturia?""We can't make it easy for them.""Let's keep the King City folks hanging for a few days. Let's see if they'll come to us on their own."With that, he reclined in his chair as if to rest, prompting Leroy to quickly depart.-Meanwhile, in the car.Ruth fumed. "Is Smith a rabbit? He never showed up!" Without Smith, they couldn't c

Ruth never explained herself.-Early in the morning, everyone rushed to the GI Group once again.When Leroy managed to get through to Sylvia's phone last night, he knew that the GI Group had lost in the first confrontation. Although the loss wasn't complete, they still lost. The GI Group couldn't sit still anymore.Leroy warmly welcomed everyone into the company.As they sat down in the conference room, Sylvia frowned. "Mr. Domus, where is your sincerity? We're sitting here, but where are your representatives?"When Sylvia mentioned "your representatives", she naturally meant Smith.Leroy quickly smiled. "Ms. Williams, our CEO has some urgent matters to attend to. Let me apologize on behalf of everyone here. Please wait a moment! Just a moment!"Smith still hadn't arrived, even after 15 minutes.Leroy noticed Sylvia growing slightly displeased and promptly said, "Ms. Williams, please wait here. Allow me to check on our CEO's whereabouts."As Leroy left, Ruth snorted coldly.
