Chapter 533
Chase was on the verge of tears. Despite one of Javier's key resources, he felt like nothing more than a pawn for the Hernandezes. If he lacked his martial arts skills, would Javier even give him a second thought?Furthermore, the Hernandezes had gone to great lengths to rebuild their reputation in King City's underworld with Chase.Even Tiger, whom not even Scar could handle in Salt City, had met his match with Chase. If Chase backed out now, wouldn't it be a stain on the Hernandezes' honor?"Are you fighting or not?" Rafael's face darkened. "We don't tolerate freeloaders. And isn't he just a fighter from Salt City? It's practically a guaranteed victory, right?"Rafael wasn't well-versed in Salt City's underworld. If he knew that Scar had also suffered a loss there, he might not have said such a thing.Regardless of his own desires, Chase had to face this match."Fuck!" He cursed, "They matched me up with their fighter right after they arrived. There's something fishy going on b

"What do you mean by coming to King City for revenge?" Eric asked calmly. "Who said I can't be here for the matches?"Eric kept his identity concealed. His reasons for being in King City were twofold: a match for Tiger and personal satisfaction.Chase's brows furrowed, sensing a familiar aura around Eric, yet unable to pinpoint its source."What are you two waiting for? Fight!" The impatient audience had invested millions, and they came to see action, not hear words.Eric looked at Chase with a smirk. "Let's begin. You're going to lose today, but don't worry. I won't harm you."Chase's face darkened as he felt insulted. He held a winning streak in King City's underground arena, and Eric's condescension stung."Let's see if you can back that up!" With a roar, Chase charged at Eric.Back in Salt City, Eric had initiated their fight, unaware of Chase's techniques. However, he could now discern them.Chase practiced Formless, distinct from what Eric had seen online. This martial ar

A cracking sound filled the air as Chase was sent flying, collapsing to the ground and unable to rise. After a single punch, the onlookers in the stands and the lounge stood up."Is that an energy strike?!" Matteo exclaimed.Eric's power surprised him—he hadn't expected such strength.Sylvia was equally astonished. She recalled Tyson's words about Eric needing time to grasp the energy strike, yet he had already mastered it in a short span.Eric's talent was truly remarkable. If he hadn't been focused on his company, he would have made significant contributions to martial arts alone.Tiger turned to Sylvia and asked, "When did Mr. Johnson learn to unleash energy strikes? Even in the underground world of King City, not many fighters can do that."Mastering energy strikes signified formidable fighting skills.Sylvia smiled. "I don't know. He has rarely practiced martial arts since he started studying medicine."She was uncertain when Eric had learned to use an energy strike.Ti

Scar had misled the people in King City, including himself, when Eric assumed the role of Ghostface. The Hernandezes suffered the most in this situation. Eric shattered their carefully laid plans for a comeback in King City's underworld."Find out who Ghostface really is!" Javier yelled, his anger evident.Every time they devised a plan, someone would appear and thwart their efforts. Unfortunately, information about Ghostface was scarce.Deducing Eric's identity from his fighting style proved impossible for the Hernandezes. After all, Eric used Formless when he fought Chase. Matteo had arranged a fight for Eric. In just one punch, Eric ηαδ left Chase severely injured and unable to continue. This not only crushed the Hernandezes' dreams of returning to King City's underworld but also burdened them with a negative public image.-Upon Eric's return to the lounge, Matteo regarded him with respect. Eric was not only a medical genius but also an awe-inspiring martial artist.Wavin

Eric was genuinely surprised. He had no clue about the inside stories surrounding King City's underground arena.Tiger chimed in. "Mate, even if the owner of the underground arena comes looking for Mr. Johnson, it might not necessarily be a bad thing, right?"Matteo replied, "It's indeed a bad thing. You see, there were formidable fighters who had mastered the energy strike, but there isn't a single one left. All those who demonstrated the energy strike have vanished!""What?!" Tiger was taken aback. He couldn't help but glance at Eric. If what Matteo said was true, did this mean Eric was also a target?However, Eric remained composed. He believed that a person wouldn't just disappear in today's society, especially someone like him. He overlooked one thing, though. Those who mastered the energy strike were renowned figures in the martial arts world."What should we do?" Sylvia asked anxiously. Would Eric be the next target?"Don't worry," Eric reassured her. "I'm sure they wouldn

After they exited the car, they were directed to the living room."Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!" A middle-aged man chuckled. He was James, Jessica's father and the head of the Watsons.Prior to Eric and Sylvia's arrival, James had already prepared snacks. In the presence of a young physician like Eric, James displayed the due respect required by his status.All of the key figures of the Watsons, including Jessica and Trevor, were present.Once they were seated, Eric got straight to the point. "Mr. Watson, I'd like to inquire about the owner of the underground arena in King City."James was slightly taken aback, showing hesitance in addressing this topic. After a brief pause, he asked, "Hol. Johnson, why do you suddenly ask about this? It's been a long time since anyone inquired about the owner."He couldn't fathom why a renowned physician like Eric would be interested in the affairs of the underground arena.Eric explained, "Last night, I had a match in the underground arena.
Chapter 539
As Eric listened, a deep furrow appeared on his brow. After all, James had not mentioned anything about the missing fighters.Where had they gone? Were they still alive? Did no one care about this matter?Even James, the head of the prestigious Watsons, lacked answers to these questions."You should be cautious, Mr. Johnson," James remarked. "Fortunately, you wore a mask last night, and hopefully, the person behind the underground arena doesn't know your identity. But I'm afraid they didn't anticipate that you could unleash an energy strike.""Thank you for the information," Eric replied.James' information only deepened the mystery of the situation. If even a family like the Watsons couldn't find answers to these questions, Eric wondered who could.After their brief visit, Eric and Sylvia bid farewell, with Jessica escorting them out. She gazed at Eric and advised, "Eric, you should be careful. Perhaps it's best to avoid the underground arena for now to avoid exposure."Eric no

Finding someone capable of unleashing energy strikes proved difficult, and the cost of hiring such a person was surprisingly high. The expense of employing someone with such prowess could cover the salaries of all the Montgomery guards.Yet, Grace recognized the importance of having such martial strength within the family—the benefits would undoubtedly outweigh the costs.Regrettably, Grace was aware that Eric wouldn't stay with the Montgomerys indefinitely. If anything were to happen to the Montgomerys, it might be too late for Eric to come from Salt City.With this concern in mind, Grace asked, "Eric, can you pass on your martial arts skills to others?"Eric understood that his mother wanted him to train the Montgomery guards. He responded, "Mom, I can stay and teach to some extent, but I can't guarantee the same skill level in others. Achieving this level comes easily to me, but it's not necessarily attainable for everyone. Some people have trained in martial arts for decades an
