"Are there any legends?" Urias chuckled. "In the realm of martial arts, grandmasters are already top-tier fighters."In the decades I've been around, I've rarely seen any fighters who can execute energy strikes, let alone legends. It seems like they have disappeared, or perhaps they discovered there are other martial realms beyond legend and pursued those paths instead."He looked at Eric and continued. "Mr. Johnson, never underestimate human greed. Take earning money, for example. When you earn your first hundred thousand, you desire a second hundred thousand. But once you make a million, you surely want to make tens of millions."Greed is a bottomless pit. It's what drives humans to keep moving forward. For example, aren't you curious to become a legend after knowing that there's something beyond the grandmaster level?"Eric nodded without hesitation. "Exactly. I'm very curious how powerful they are."Urias waved his hand and said, "Legends engage in more than just martial arts.

Urias nodded, acknowledging Eric's words. "I relied on my martial arts to counter the attack, but comprehending energy strikes remains challenging," he admitted.It was clear that some things would forever elude certain individuals. While Eric had developed his unique punching style, Urias had adhered to traditional techniques, and Eric had surpassed him in understanding martial arts.Eric sighed. "Mr. Doberman, please don't give up just yet. There's still hope for you."Urias smiled, appreciating Eric's encouragement. "At my age, I don't have many pursuits left, but your future is limitless. Just be cautious of those connected to the underground arena, and I hope your mask can protect your identity for a while."Eric nodded.Considering the power of the underground arena, if someone intended to find him, they likely would have done so already. The fact that no one had come looking for him indicated that his identity remained concealed.Eric had no intention of participating in a

Javier's eyes lit up with understanding, and he exclaimed, "Exactly! Even if we can't confirm it's him, we still have room to maneuver! The person behind the underground arena wants to find him, right? Then he must be Eric! At the very least, it can cause him quite a bit of trouble!"Javier's plan sounded good, but he soon realized the challenging part of it: How could they find the person behind the underground arena?Even a prominent figure in the underworld like Matteo did not know who he was, let alone him. However, Javier knew there must be a way to find out who owned the underground arena.-At Salt City.Sylvia gathered the executives of the Innova Group for a meeting about their new strategy. After reviewing the latest market reports, she said, "According to the latest data, our group's market share in domestic equipment has reached 3%, and it's still rising!"Applause filled the room as her words landed—3% might seem small for a company specializing in equipment, but it

Sylvia was planning ahead. Moreover, the technology required for chip manufacturing wasn't as advanced as that needed for processors.As Sylvia spoke, the executives grasped the idea that they were going to develop their own chips. However, the challenge lay in their lack of technological expertise in this area.While they were knowledgeable about chip technology, stepping into chip production required a significant investment that the current funds of the Innova Group couldn't cover.Sylvia reassured, "Therefore, I've found a domestic chip company. My plan is to establish a deep collaboration with them, and I've already reached out to them. They are open to the idea. The purpose of this meeting is to brief everyone on our company's next steps."The executives nodded in agreement. It would be easy for the three major international manufacturers to cut off their supply. If the Innova Group continued to grow stronger and the international giants resorted to such tactics, it would cre

After hanging up the phone, Sylvia arrived. Seeing Eric's troubled expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"Eric sighed. "The Hernandezs are causing trouble again. They want to divert attention to me, prompting the person behind the underground arena to come after me.""What jerks!" Sylvia cursed in frustration. "Do they not have better things to do? Why must they keep on targeting you? But how do they know that you're Ghostface?"Eric shook his head. "They probably don't know. When we fought in the ring, Chase had no idea who I was. He couldn't decipher my fighting style. I think Javier did it on purpose. He's trying to get me into trouble by having the owner come after me."Sylvia said, "He's truly despicable! The owner is looking for martial artists who comprehend the essence of energy strikes. When they come for you, just don't showcase your martial arts prowess."It was easy to tackle Javier's plan. As long as Eric did not reveal the fact he knew about energy strikes, there was

The current Innova Group lacked the capability for both aspects. While they had been nurturing talented individuals since their establishment, the time was short, and specialized industry talent training took too long.-After arriving, Sylvia's first step was to schedule a meeting with Sam Hampton. When the call connected, she asked, "Mr. Hampton, I'm Sylvia Williams from the Innova Group. Are you available this afternoon?"A young man unexpectedly answered the call. "I'm sorry, Ms. Williams, but my father is no longer involved in the company's affairs. As for any verbal commitments he made to the Innova Group, I'm not aware of them. Currently, Frontier Digital has no intention of cooperating with the Innova Group."Before Sylvia could respond, the young man hung up, stunning her."What's wrong?" Eric asked.Sylvia pressed her lips and replied, "Something unexpected happened. The person who answered the call was Mr. Hampton's son. He stated that Mr. Hampton is no longer in charg

Sam fell ill, and Eric, who happened to be a holistic physician, was informed by Vince that Sam had a serious illness. Eric's expertise was in handling such matters.After a few bites, Eric asked Vince, "Is Mr. Hampton at home or in the hospital?"Vince replied, "They mentioned that he's in the ICU."Upon hearing that Sam was in the ICU, Eric understood the seriousness of the situation. He said, "Let's head to the hospital after we finish eating."With important matters on their minds, the group quickly finished their meal.-At the hospital. They encountered the Hamptons there. The Hamptons weren't a prominent family in Volpolis, and Frontier Digital wasn't a top conglomerate in the city, but it had some prestige.The Hamptons were surprised to see Eric and his group. Even though they didn't recognize the others, they knew Sylvia.A young man approached them, Noel Hampton, the current head of Frontier Digital. He looked at Sylvia and said indifferently, "Ms. Williams, I've a

Anson glanced at Eric and pursed his lips in silence. Eric's youth made it hard for Anson to believe he could help Sam. However, the fact that the head of the holistic medicine department had faith in Eric made him think otherwise.'Could he really save Mr. Hampton?' he pondered.After briefing Eric about Sam's condition, Tiago said, "Hol. Johnson, let's head to the ICU.""Okay," Eric replied.They all donned white coats and masks before making their way to the ICU. Even behind a mask, Eric's distinctive features stood out, astonishing Noel when he saw Eric and Anson together.Eric nodded at Sylvia and then entered the ward with Anson and Tiago."What's going on?" Noel asked.After Eric nodded at Sylvia, Noel recognized him as the man with the imposing scars.In his moment of confusion, Anson stepped out of the ward and asked, "Where are Mr. Hampton's family members?"The Hamptons quickly gathered around Anson.Anson explained, "Mr. Hampton's condition is very serious. We've
