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
