"Nothing will happen to my career, but you're in deep trouble. If I were you, I'd start thinking about how to save my company," Frankie declared. With a casual wave of his hand, Frankie's companion placed the suspension of business notice on Sylvia's desk.Sylvia was seemingly uninterested. She called her assistant inside and instructed, "Mell, get the manager and his deputy from the finance department to come and take a look. We'll appeal immediately if there are any unreasonable points.""Okay!" Mell promptly notified the finance department, and a group of people soon arrived. They examined the issues listed on the notice, and their faces sank.Emerson asserted, "Ms. Williams, we don't have these problems! And I suspect someone has changed something here!"Sylvia remained calm. At this stage, she wouldn't find it strange, no matter what methods Frankie used. She would find it strange if there were no issues on the notice.Frankie sneered, "Ms. Williams, we've pointed out the p

Howard ignored Frankie, focusing on Sylvia as he spoke. "I apologize on behalf of Mr. Dawson, who couldn't make it due to a busy schedule. We've investigated the matter, and Frankie will be suspended from work."We'll convene a meeting soon to decide on the appropriate actions against him. Once Mr. Dawson is free in the next couple of days, he'll host a banquet to personally apologize to you three."Sylvia nodded in acceptance, expressing her gratitude, "That's acceptable. Thank you, Mr. Kent.""Don't mention it," Howard replied. "Feel free to go about your business."After the three acknowledged this, Howard turned his attention to Frankie and narrowed his eyes. "Come with me!"As the group left, Andy sighed with relief, turning to Eric with a question. "Eric, do you know who Mr. Dawson is?"Eric chuckled. "I'm sure you've seen him multiple times on TV. He's Elijah Dawson."Andy was stunned, not expecting Eric to seek his help.-Meanwhile, upon returning, Howard promptly con

They were unaware of how Frankie was released despite having all the evidence against him. If even someone like Frankie could be released, then what about those people in prison? Did they really have committed crimes, or were they just someone else's scapegoat?"Strange, isn't it?" Ruth asked, prompting nods from Eric and Sylvia.Frankie's release was already confusing, and Ruth's insight into the situation added another layer of mystery. It appeared she was present because of Frankie's case."When we got word of Frankie's arrest, my mentor dispatched me to Salt City to handle the matter," Ruth explained. "In reality, his release was sanctioned by us. We've been monitoring him for a while, and it turns out he's a member of the Crimson Order."Eric was taken aback. While the Combat Department had been investigating the Crimson Order, he hadn't expected someone like Frankie to be associated with them.Did this not signify the extensive influence of the Crimson Order?Ruth sighed.

Eric perceived that the Crimson Order was an organization not officially recognized by the authorities. Over the years, the Combat Department had compiled a list of Crimson members, yet the names of high-ranking members remained elusive.Ruth interjected, "You officially become one of us upon joining the Crimson Department. If you encounter highly skilled Crimson members listed in our records, you have the authority to eliminate them on the spot."Eric was momentarily stunned. "I can eliminate them on the spot? Without needing any evidence?""Yes, you can eliminate them on the spot," Ruth affirmed. "We're dealing with terrorists. No need for evidence."Eric took a deep breath, realizing that the Crimson Order was more formidable than he had imagined."I've said what needs to be said." Ruth continued. "I'll discreetly send two people to protect you. Access more information about the Crimson Order after joining the Combat Department."Once we wrap up our mission here, you'll return

Frankie brimmed with excitement at the opportunity to engage with the Innova Group, attributing his current predicament solely to their influence.The relevant information about the company was swiftly acquired.Frankie asked, "Are we going to dismantle the Innova Group? Let me—"Before he could finish speaking, the stubbed man fixed a stern gaze upon him, snarling, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"Frankie sealed his lips, watching as the stubbed man scrutinized the information and pinpointed the target.Squinting, the stubbed man remarked, "It's astonishing that a company founded by three individuals under 30 is causing us trouble. They possess some skill.""They're competent," Frankie concurred. "But not invincible! Sir, how should we handle them?"The stubbed man glanced at Frankie. "Two of the three are the founders of the Innova Group, and the other is the CEO. Despite being a woman, she's astute. They would have gone bankrupt according to our last plan if not for her! C

The room was permeated with the smell of gas as Frankie took a sip of hot tea and lit a cigarette, placing it between his lips.The man standing beside him frowned. "Are you trying to take me down with you?"Frankie fell silent, then spoke. "Don't worry. As long as you promise to spare my wife and child, I'll comply with your wishes."To avoid unnecessary trouble, the stubbled man wanted Frankie to take his own life. That way, there would be no traces leading back to them. Frankie understood their intentions.The man nodded and left without saying more.As soon as he reached the bottom of the building, a loud explosion echoed from above. Evidently, Frankie's home had exploded. His steps hesitated briefly before he disappeared into the night.Little did he know that someone else had their eyes on him as he left the residential area. The people brought by Ruth were also watching Frankie, aware of the man entering Frankie's home.Frankie's tragic fate was inevitable. The Crimson Or

Unbeknownst to him, Eric was a formidable martial artist. Moreover, skilled individuals from the Combat Department and elite guards, including Vince and Matthew, surrounded him.Eliminating Eric would prove to be no easy task.-As the workday concluded, Sylvia, unlike the others, had to put in extra hours due to the Innova Group's overseas market expansion.It was well past 10:00 pm.. when they finally departed from the Innova Group and headed back to their house.Situated in the affluent area of Salt City, the Rosewood Estate saw fewer people around 10:00 pm. Even the security guards in the guardhouse were dozing off.The sky was dark, and the dimly lit streets added an eerie atmosphere.Upon parking the car, Eric and Sylvia commenced their journey home. A few steps into their walk, Eric abruptly halted."What's wrong?" Sylvia asked."There's someone here," Eric replied in a low tone.The underground parking lot was dimly lit and hinted at the presence of other individuals.

When the assassin struggled to rise, he felt an intense pain in his chest. Lowering his head, he noticed Eric had broken his ribcage with a punch.Fear filled his eyes. The intelligence from the Crimson Order failed to mention Eric's combat skills, emphasizing only his role in the Innova Group's technology.This oversight proved costly, incapacitating the assassin with a single punch.With the Combat Department present, escape became a luxury. The two members of the Combat Department took the assassin away.Sylvia said, "It seems Ruth was right. The people behind Frankie really want revenge."Unbeknownst to Sylvia, eliminating them was part of the Crimson Order's plan from the beginning."Don't worry," Eric said. "The Combat Department is tracking their movements. When the time is right, they'll apprehend them."Despite that, Eric couldn't shake the feeling of being drawn into a dangerous situation that could endanger Sylvia.Sylvia nodded. She and Eric were skilled in martial
