For the Pettersons, this was nearly a catastrophe. Their businesses were still losing money, and they had lost their only escape route.Frederick knew Roland had turned against him, losing his control over Dortmund City's underworld.Eric wasn't sure if Frederick could sleep, but he slept soundly tonight, knowing he would see Sylvia tomorrow.-Early in the morning, a major event shook Dortmund City—the Pettersons were preparing for bankruptcy.Eric felt a mix of emotions upon learning that. He knew Grace had taken action. He didn't understand Montgomery Corp.'s power before, but now he did.Even the powerful Pettersons couldn't withstand their assault for a month. However, he realized Grace might be coordinating with his actions.Grace swiftly pushed the Pettersons into bankruptcy, surprising everyone. Even Eric thought the Pettersons had reached the end. But then, a phone call shattered Eric's illusion."Hehe, unexpected! Truly unexpected!" Frederick's voice came through as s

"Let's go, Vince!" Eric said.Vince hurried to catch up with Eric. Roland had played a crucial role in neutralizing the Pettersons' armed forces, so he believed they needed to rescue them, regardless of potential dangers.Tiger exhaled deeply and summoned his own men to follow Eric. He instructed the person who had come for assistance to rally Roland's remaining forces to the Petterson manor.-The Petterson manor stood silent and cold, with leaves scattered by the entrance, left unattended.Eric entered without encountering any obstacles.Contrary to Tiger's warnings, it didn't seem as dangerous. They were met by someone who guided them to the living room.Frederick sat gloomily on the sofa in the living room while Lucas silently observed Eric and the others from a chair. Frederick sipped his tea and asked Eric, "Why are you still wearing a mask at this point?"Eric stayed quiet, removing the mask to reveal his disfigured face, causing Frederick to freeze. He even found Eric m

Eric and Frederick were both fast. Frederick anticipated Eric's intention to attack Lucas after their exchange of words. Thus, when Eric moved, Frederick did the same.As Eric punched at Lucas, Frederick sensed his actions and defended his son with his other hand.However, Vince was even faster, determined not to let Frederick harm Eric in any way. Everything unfolded in the blink of an eye.Eric knocked Lucas over, who cried out in pain. Eric also had to fend off Frederick, aware that he had to use restraint, or he could have seriously hurt Lucas.Behind Eric, Vince and Frederick engaged in a swift fistfight. They exchanged blows before simultaneously stepping back.Vince casually brushed off where Frederick had struck him and smirked. "Looks like you're truly the Pettersons' top fighter."Frowning, Frederick asked, "Who are you?"He had never imagined that Eric had such a formidable ally. From their recent exchange, it was evident that Vince's skills matched his own.What w

Roland might have offered his daughter to Eric to maintain his influence in Dortmund City. Valerie gazed at Eric with bitterness. She had overheard his hurtful words moments ago, which left her heartbroken.In contrast, Roland appeared indifferent. He turned to Frederick and stated, "Might makes right. I didn't anticipate you hiding so well, Frederick. Nonetheless, I've embraced my fate ever since I ventured into the underworld."Afterward, he shifted his attention to Eric and implored, "Mr. Johnson, whether I live or die is unimportant. Please ensure Valerie's safety."Eric nodded.Observing this, Frederick laughed heartily. "Still claiming you don't care? Eric, today I'll give you a chance!""Go ahead!" Eric replied coldly.He wasn't sure of Frederick's intentions, but he understood that Frederick currently held the upper hand. His indifferent treatment of the Draco family was a precaution against Frederick using them as leverage.Frederick had his own considerations. He ack

Everyone watched the fight closely, and Vince was no exception. He was ready to step in if Eric showed signs of losing. He knew well that Frederick would likely go back on his promises if the situation turned against him.Frederick's main goal was to drag Eric down with him. However, Vince was more worried that Eric might be unable to defeat Frederick.Frederick stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular body.Eric launched a series of quick attacks, only to realize that Frederick had an excellent defense. His punches to Frederick's shoulders didn't do much damage.Eric was aware that every fighter had a vulnerable point, but he didn't know where Frederick's was. For now, he had to keep fighting and search for that weakness."Hahaha!" Frederick laughed loudly after taking a few hits from Eric. "I can keep this up all day! You've made a terrible mistake by challenging me!"Eric furrowed his brow as he looked at Frederick's throat. It appeared that Frederick was also testing

Lucas gazed at Frederick in sheer disbelief. Only now did he understand why his father had abstained from intimate relationships for over 20 years.Initially, he believed it was because his father had lost such desires after his mother's death or out of unwavering loyalty. However, he never expected the truth to be like this.Vince's expression grew serious. All men had the same vulnerability, but he never anticipated that Frederick would go to such extreme lengths as to remove that area."Mr. Eric! Target his eyes!" Vince shouted once more.This marked the first time Eric encountered a fighter as defensively skilled as Frederick. His only option was to focus on Frederick's weak points.Eric nodded at Vince's reminder, fully aware that Frederick would be guarding his eyes. To defeat Frederick, he had to catch him off guard."Mr. Eric, concentrate your attacks on a specific area! No matter how skilled he is at defending, he won't hold on for much longer if you keep targeting the s

"Hahaha!" Frederick spat out blood and burst into laughter. "Keep the promise? What are you talking about? Kill Roland and Valerie!"Eric and Vince knew he had never intended to keep his promise from the beginning. Thus, Vince had seized the opportunity to approach the Draco family during their intense battle.As Frederick reneged on his words, Vince sprang into action. He incapacitated the guards overseeing Roland and Valerie with a swift palm strike."Damn it!" Frederick shouted. "Why does it have to involve my family?"With these words, he strode toward Lucas."Dad..." Lucas' voice trembled. "You don't have to do this! We can sell our family assets and move to another country! We can start anew!"Despite the Pettersons' near bankruptcy, they still possessed enough assets for a modest life."Lucas…" Frederick said, tears welling up in his eyes. "You're right. We can start fresh."Hunching over, he pushed the wheelchair to take Lucas inside. Seeing this, Eric felt relief. Alth

When Eric emerged, Valerie and Roland departed."What did she ask you?" Brook asked.Tiger chuckled and replied, "She asked if Mr. Johnson is married. I told her that he is married and deeply in love with his wife. I also mentioned that the scars on his face were self-inflicted out of love for her."Brook was rendered speechless and glanced at Eric, failing to discern any particular charm. He also felt Eric was less appealing in terms of appearance.Tiger sighed. "I didn't expect Frederick to kill his own son. He's truly finished this time. His family was once Dortmund City's most powerful force. Once people see the light, they don't want to return to darkness. He lacks the courage to face the dark days ahead, so he chose to kill his son first and then commit suicide."Brook nodded. "You're right. If I were in his shoes, I'd do the same."Robert headed out of the police station, saying, "It's getting late. We'll return to Salt City tomorrow morning. But first, let me make one thi
