Lora was met with resistance at the Innova Group's reception."Ms. Kensington, Mr. Johnson hasn't been around since the new year started. He hasn't set foot in the company."But Lora was undeterred—she was determined to see Eric.How long had it been since they last met?Even her messages to Eric had gone unanswered. She knew he was avoiding her, which was why she decided to come directly to the Innova Group. Surely, he couldn't avoid her there, right?Yet, Eric was nowhere to be found in the building.Frustrated, Lora leered at the receptionist. "You must be mistaken. It's the beginning of the new year, and he's the founder of the Innova Group. How could he not be here? I need to see him."The receptionist was at a loss for words.At that moment, Sylvia intervened. "Ms. Kensington, Eric is truly not in the company. In fact, he's not even in Salt City. He left for King City early this morning."Sylvia didn't elaborate further. Eric had a mission this time, accompanying the not

"Three years ago, I purchased this cruise ship and invested over 10,000,000 dollars in its renovation. The cruise offers all-inclusive facilities, including an opera house, world-class cuisine, and everything imaginable. In the past, three Miss Universe finalists, all ranking in the top ten, have sailed on board!"Isn't that exhilarating just to think about?"Pierce chuckled. "How much did it cost?"Despite his experience, he found such extravagance overwhelming."Not much, not much!" Stealthbane chuckled. "It only totaled a little over 50,000,000 dollars, mainly for the facilities. The staff costs barely made a dent in the budget. Some of the beauties were even gifts from others!"He seemed quite proud, radiating an air of superiority.He had spent 50,000,000 dollars to build that cruise ship, and he said it wasn't much…But the next moment, he felt a murderous gaze on the back of his head. "I think it's better for you to take a plane. If commercial airlines won't do, I can arr

Eric assumed that by mentioning the Luminous, Stealthbane would talk extensively. He even wondered whether Stealthbane was a Luminous member.However, Stealthbane said, "I know of this organization. It's said that its members are spread all over the world, and many wealthy people are its members. I've had a few clients who seemed to be Luminous members, but they seemed very low-key. It is as if they... don't like attracting attention?"Boss, why are you suddenly asking about this organization? The Luminous is not recognized by any country!"Obviously, he knew a little but seemed reluctant to discuss this so-called Luminous.Eric said, "The last time I went to Catellon, I killed a transcendent shadow warrior. Later, someone said he was an important Luminous member. Who knows?"Stealthbane's face changed!"What's wrong?" Eric asked.Stealthbane looked terrified. "A transcendent shadow warrior ninja?! That's the strongest expert in Catellon and among the top experts globally! He ac

Stealthbane's decision to establish his headquarters there boiled down to one simple factor—money. In that place, money could achieve nearly anything. If it couldn't, the only obstacle would likely be insufficient funds."What's the plan?" Eric asked as the plane continued its descent.At the question, Stealthbane appeared somewhat sheepish. "Plan? After I fled here, I received messages from this end, and many of my associates were eliminated."Now I find myself somewhat blind. I think we should just go in forcefully and deal with it. Once I regroup and take precautions, we might not even have to fear them."Plus, that thing is no longer in my possession, so they have no reason to pursue me."Eric was stunned.'Stealthbane… has no plan or preparations at all?!'Just go in directly? Only Stealthbane could devise such a reckless plan!'However, Stealthbane had made some arrangements, securing a high-class hotel in Haevon.Upon arrival at the airport, they were met by individuals

Stealthbane was somewhat impatient, but Eric remained calm. In the intricate dance of success and failure, he understood well that rushing often led to mistakes."Generally speaking, there are fewer people at night." Stealthbane suggested, "We can sneak in at night and eliminate everyone inside."His plan was straightforward, mainly because he believed in Eric's prowess, which simplified the strategy.However, Eric shook his head. "It's not that simple. Do you know who's inside? What's the current purpose of that building? Do you understand the combat capabilities of the people inside?" he countered. "Do they have guns? If so, what type? Have the surveillance cameras been tampered with? If we storm in, how long until backup arrives?"Eric added, "I'm only human. I can't take on too many people. If dozens of them come at me with machine guns, I won't stand a chance. No matter how skilled we are, in tight spaces, even a single grenade can end us."In Salt City, Eric proceeded cautio

Eric's previous trip to Catellon had lasted over a month, so Sylvia anticipated that his stay in Erweston wouldn't be any shorter.Meanwhile, the Innova Group had expanded its operations in Erweston, affording Eric the opportunity to visit its branches during his spare time.Recently, Michael had also been visiting, offering mutual support to everyone.Eric was adamant about not entangling the Innova Group in this matter. It was a personal affair between him and Stealthbane, with no involvement from the Combat Department, let alone his company.The next move was up to Stealthbane. He needed to gather as much information as possible, a task he would delegate rather than handle personally.-The following day, Michael arrived in Haevon. His contribution to the development of the Innova Group had always been crucial. Without his efforts in Phoenix City, the company might have struggled to expand its overseas business and break into the global market.Over the years, Michael had tir

Stealthbane had been gathering information about the towering building for some time now. He had even managed to acquire a few photographs of its interior.Meanwhile, Vince and Matthew were on the move, carefully observing who entered and exited the building.-Matthew returned from outside. "Sir, after observing for a while, I don't see the need to reclaim this building. Stealthbane is wealthy enough to simply buy it!"At first, Eric shared similar doubts. Stealthbane could easily return and loudly declare the book wasn't in his possession. Money wasn't an issue—he could either buy back the building or construct a new one. The risk of reclaiming the building forcefully was too great.But later, Eric understood. "Don't be fooled by his subservience in front of me. Deep down, he's proud. He was driven out like a dog last year and now wants to come back with a bang. That kind of pride isn't bought with money. I get it now."Matthew nodded. Then he produced a photo. "Sir, there's a

Regarding Stealthbane's headquarters, Michael had scant information. He contemplated waiting for Eric before taking action, but Eric declined.Although Michael was a legend, he had his own affairs to attend to. These years of expanding overseas markets for the Innova Group had been arduous enough—engaging in combat was not suitable.Still, Michael was eager to offer his assistance. During his years with the Innova Group, he had gained clarity. Among the corporate giants, the Innova Group was paramount.The company showed promise, and Eric couldn't afford any mishaps. Michael had had concerns about the storm Eric had stirred in Catellon. Now that he was in Haevon, he would likely confront the Luminous directly.Ultimately, Michael departed. Before boarding the plane, he hesitated but eventually made a call.The other party answered with a mocking chuckle. "Tsk tsk! Unexpected to receive a call from you! Having some trouble, thinking of me?"Michael remained composed. "Could you do
