Chapter 1355
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

Eric led the way, followed closely by Vince and Matthew as they maneuvered through the corridors.Eric concealed his identity with his characteristic Ghostface mask. This mask had weathered battles alongside him in the underground arenas and now served its purpose once more.He had no intention of revealing himself. In Catellon, he had been unmasked, prompting the authorities to issue wanted posters.Fortunately, only one surveillance recording from Catellon existed, capturing just his face. So, for now, they couldn't ascertain his true identity. But even if they did, what could they do? Disagree? Challenge him? Dare they?"Boss?" Stealthbane appeared puzzled, unaware that Eric had prepared such a contingency."It's me." Eric nodded slightly, even altering his voice.To Stealthbane, Eric's appearance was unimportant—his presence mattered most.With everyone gathered, Stealthbane couldn't wait any longer to initiate their plan. Gesturing, he said, "Let's knock out the security gu

Stealthbane spat with contempt, "Having come this far, there's no reason to stop. Even if the one sitting on the 16th floor is God, I will take Him down!"His team had moved swiftly, from the 1st floor all the way up there, without relying on elevators. The primary reason was the cramped space of the elevators, making them susceptible to control. Staircases offered a much safer passage.However, just as Stealthbane's men advanced, a shout echoed. "Damn it! Grenade!"Almost simultaneously, an explosion followed!The corridor trembled as the grenade exploded at the stairwell, inevitably causing casualties among Stealthbane's forces.Cries of agony filled the air."Fuck!" Stealthbane's eyes reddened. Pushing aside those ahead, he charged forward himself."Move!" Eric didn't lag behind either. It would be quite amusing if this so-called king of assassins fell victim to a simple grenade.This operation was far more perilous than Stealthbane had anticipated—the opponents had even dep

Emerging from the grand golden doors were a dozen figures, all clad in suits and ties. Among them were two individuals whom Eric and Stealthbane had encountered before in Dortmund City.Initially, these two, along with another, had pursued Stealthbane to Dortmund City, with Eric dealing with one then.Now, both stood here. The deceased one was a member of the Erwestonian royal family, hinting strongly at his companions' identities. Meanwhile, the occupants of this building were the Luminous.What connection did the Luminous have with the royal family?This question lingered in Eric and Stealthbane's minds. However, the immediate concern was dealing with these individuals before them.Stealthbane chuckled. "Gentlemen, I've returned to wreak havoc once more! Will you leave on your own accord or shall I lend you a hand?"He exuded arrogance. Despite facing two confirmed legends, what of it? Eric was by his side, which was sufficient.Across from them, the two legends whispered to t
