Chapter 486
At Tiger's residence.The sound of a gunshot echoed, and the fierce combat came to a sudden halt.Blood pooled around several of Scar's men, and Tiger's group had also suffered casualties, especially among those who had guarded the entrance.Tige stepped out of the building with an assault rifle and barked, "Everyone, freeze!"A path cleared on either side of the area, and even Scar's wounded men were swiftly moved out of harm's way.Scar's intense gaze locked onto Tiger, and his attention fixated on the assault rifle hanging from Tiger's shoulder. He had brought many seasoned fighters tonight, including a few of his best. Scar's face darkened as one of his top fighters fell victim to a single gunshot.The presence of firearms was an unexpected development. Such weapons had become increasingly rare due to crackdowns by the authorities. One gunshot equaled a dead end, as both the authorities and the criminal underworld would want you eliminated.What astonished Scar even more was

Tiger nodded and said, "Scar, you know how powerful we are in Salt City. I'll let you and your men go if you promise to remove your people from Dortmund City. Let's maintain peace from now on, alright?"Upon hearing that, Scar's eyes lit up. For him, this night was a dire situation. If Tiger had any intentions of killing him, he and his men wouldn't make it out of Salt City alive.For Tiger, this night was a last resort. He wouldn't have resorted to using the hidden assault rifles on the second floor if it hadn't come down to a life-or-death situation. He also realized that his forces weren't a match for Scar.He issued a warning to Scar tonight, believing that after they reached an agreement, Scar wouldn't return to Salt City."Is what you're saying true?" Scar asked."Absolutely," Tiger assured. "You can leave and never return, or you can attempt to challenge my rifles with your men.""Alright," Scar replied swiftly, not daring to be reckless. "We will leave Salt City tonight a

Chase understood the gravity of the situation. He knew Eric wouldn't take kindly to someone impersonating him, and this added an extra layer of difficulty for Kenneth's plans. It was now easy for his cover to be blown."You're not going to talk?" Eric's icy words hung in the air.After realizing he was no match for Eric, Chase remained silent. It was evident that they would need to capture him and interrogate him methodically.As Eric moved closer, Chase hesitated, then threw a knife as Eric closed in.Swiftly dodging the knife, Eric continued approaching him.Chase seized the opportunity to bolt into the darkness. Eric refrained from pursuing him, suspicious that it might be a ploy to lure him away from Sylvia. He resolved to remain by her side to ensure her safety."Faster than a rabbit," Sylvia remarked as she joined Eric. "Is he the one who was guarding the door in the video?"Eric nodded. "Yes, that's him. Let's go. We should head to Tiger's place."The two of them quickly

Kenneth frowned. He hadn't anticipated that Salt City's underground forces would be even more formidable than Scar's.Had tonight's operation ended in complete failure? Chase couldn't prevent Eric, and even Scar had fled. The entire plan had crumbled.Chase said, "Mr. Petterson, Scar left, and we should also consider leaving. Eric has already detected someone impersonating him, and you've likely been exposed!"Chase's biggest concern was for Kenneth, the Hernandezes' trump card. If they lost him, how would they proceed?Kenneth was displeased—he had invested significant effort and had even brought in fierce figures from King City, yet it seemed like revenge was slipping through his fingers.Chase could see Kenneth's frustration and reassured him, "Mr. Petterson, revenge will come as long as we remain in the game. We still have the support of the Hernandezes, and there will be other opportunities."Kenneth's face darkened as he pondered for a while. He finally nodded. "Let's retur

Tonight was indeed dangerous for Tiger. Scar had come for his life. Fortunately, he had prepared meticulously, which led to Scar leaving empty-handed.Without the dozen or so rifles, Tiger might not have survived. Even in hindsight, he still felt the lingering fear.Tiger wondered, "Scar is a man from King City's streets, acting on the Hernandezes' orders. But why would he come after me?"At this point, he hadn't figured it out. Logically, he had no connections with the Hernandezes and no personal grudges."We missed something." Roland chimed in. "Tiger, Mr. Johnson, have you noticed that the three of us share something in common?"After some thought, he realized Scar had been circling around the three of them from Dortmund City to tonight. When this dawned on him, everything suddenly made sense."What is it?" Tiger asked.He knew he and Roland were both underground bosses, a common trait. But what about Eric?Roland continued. "Scar came after you, but he attacked me first. Do

Seraphine said, "Brook, if you need more experts, just let me know. I can bring a few more from King City. The Montgomerys not only have a lot of money but also many skilled individuals."Brook noticed Seraphine's growing assertiveness and couldn't help but smile. Seraphine and Grace had their similarities, but they were also different in many ways.Sylvester glanced at Seraphine and shook his head.Brook replied, "We don't need additional manpower. Tiger has repelled Scar from King City. Let's keep our resources to deal with the Hernandezes because they sent Scar."Seraphine flared up. The audacity of the Hernandezes to meddle in Salt City was infuriating. On the surface, it seemed like they were dealing with Tiger, but she knew their ultimate target was Eric.Sylvia reassured her, "Seraphine, don't worry about these matters. Let the men handle them. There's no need for us to concern ourselves with it."Sylvia had never involved herself in Eric's street matters. As a couple, she

"If Kenneth has been exposed, things will get more complicated." Javier's face darkened as he asked, "You showed up in front of him?"He thought Kenneth, as the eldest son of the Pettersons, should have known better—when to act and when not to.Chase shook his head and explained, "Mr. Hernandez, it was only me who went. I had an encounter with Eric, but Mr. Petterson didn't go, and they didn't see him."Javier frowned and asked, "Then how—"Chase interrupted, "We don't know for sure. It's hard not to be noticed with advanced surveillance technology everywhere nowadays."Javier was at a loss for words. He sighed and said, "For the time being, don't go back to Salt City. You should all stay at the villa and not roam around. We'll make arrangements once the situation calms down."This unexpected situation disrupted Javier's plans. He hadn't anticipated that Kenneth's visit to Salt City would almost expose him. Under Eric's vigilant watch, Kenneth's chances of success were nearly imp

Eric always brought Sylvia with him to work. The Innova Group was continuously expanding. After changing its name to the Innova Group, the company also relocated its offices. At this point, all the key figures at the Innova Group knew that Sylvia would eventually join the group.On the other hand, Andy was growing impatient."Eric, when will you let Sylvia take over to free me up?" he asked, rubbing his hands together.Sylvia had excellent suggestions, but Andy found it challenging to implement them. Although he could hire someone for the work, Andy didn't fully trust outsiders. After all, family was different from outsiders. In his eyes, he already considered himself part of Eric's family due to his relationship with Elly."Why are you in such a hurry? Sylvia hasn't had enough rest yet," Eric replied.Andy looked frustrated upon hearing that. "Eric, Sylvia, don't you want to see me happy? The house is almost renovated. Now I need a wife!"He chuckled and added, "I secretly added
