"I know that you used to be the largest family in Salt City, but the past is in the past. In today's world, everyone in the underworld is a law-abiding citizen! I hope you won't stir up trouble in Salt City!"The Orlandos had deployed numerous people to look for Ruth. They had turned the entire Salt City upside down, and there was no way Tiger would tolerate such behavior. After all, some of his underlings were still doing business at night.With the Orlandos causing such a commotion, it was difficult for them to conduct their business.Paxton glanced at Tiger and scoffed coldly. "Then help me find that woman! If we can't find her, there will be no peace in Salt City!"Tiger's face sank. He stood up and said, "Since you said so, I won't say much. If there's any conflict between my people and your people, don't blame it on me!"With that, Tiger left.Paxton clenched his fists tightly, looked at Tiger, and asked, "Has he always been this arrogant?" Irvin forced a smile. "Well, we

Paxton was well aware of the powerful families in King City. He understood that fighting the McClains was like hitting an egg with a rock."How could it be her? Paxton murmured, "How did my son offend her?"His anger subsided when he learned that Ruth was from the McClains. Instead, he resented his son. Of all the people to provoke, why choose them? Wasn't that seeking death?Although Paxton was affiliated with the Crimson Order, he knew that they would not recklessly confront a top-tier family for him. It was not cost-effective for the Crimson Order. Moreover, with his own capabilities, he could not handle a formidable family like the McClains. This trip to the Innova Group had brought more trouble than Paxton had bargained for. Even though he had identified the culprit, he could do nothing.Unaware that Ruth was quietly observing him from the Innova Group's upper floors, Paxton spoke to Sylvia and Eric. "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, thanks for providing this information. If she r

"Kayden!" Paxton asked, his face grim, "How much longer until our people arrive in Salt City?"He had already made up his mind. Once the reinforcements arrived, the first person he was going to get rid of would be Tiger. After settling matters with Tiger, if Ruth dared to come to Salt City, he would also deal with her. He would never be able to sleep peacefully until he had avenged his son. Kayden replied, "They'll arrive in a few more days. We've lost over 20 grandmasters this time, and our higher-ups aren't very happy about it."Losing more than 20 grandmasters in a few days was a heavy blow to the Crimson Order. Paxton said, "Damn it! Tell them to hurry up! I can't wait any longer!"Had Wince not been injured, he could have waited and meticulously planned things. However, his mind was clouded with anger, making it difficult for him to think clearly and make rational decisions.Unable to find a holistic physician, Wince was permanently crippled. Even with the arrival of rei

After finishing his drink, Paxton poured another glass for himself while Ruth just watched silently.Paxton continued. "Ms. McClain, I understand that you're from a top-tier family in King City, and my family can't afford to mess with you. However, even considering the circumstances, don't you think you went a bit too far? Is there no fault on your part at all?"Ruth chuckled. "Indeed, Mr. Orlando, if we set aside the facts, can we say that I am faultless?"This tone did not sit well with Paxton. Ruth said, "Mr. Orlando, do you, as a father, not know who your son really is? He seemed to like Ms. Williams, but secretly, he gave me his number. What does that imply?"It's because I have some background and know a bit of martial arts that Wince can't do anything to me. But what if I were an ordinary woman without any self-defense skills? Following your logic, should she just allow your son to take advantage of her?"Don't you think that sounds a little bit unreasonable?" Ruth contin

Paxton had never seen someone as arrogant as Ruth before.Wince pointed at Ruth and shouted, "Dad! Uncle Kayden! Take her down! We must teach her a lesson tonight!" Ruth gazed at him as soon as he finished speaking, and he quickly hid behind Paxton.Paxton scoffed. After a moment, he said, "Kayden, take it easy. Harmony is more important. Ms. McClain, please sit. My brother can be a bit fiery. I hope you understand.Ruth nodded slightly and calmly took her seat. From the exchange just now, she knew Kayden was a grandmaster, just as Wince had claimed.They did not drink any more wine and found an excuse to leave Orlandos, but the latter did not try to keep them.Once they left, Paxton erupted, cursing and flipping the dining table. "Damn it! When have we suffered such humiliation?!"Originally, they invited Ruth for dinner with the hope that she would provide an explanation for her actions. It would be an added bonus if they could also gain something from the McClains. However

At Tiger's place.Roland, Matteo, and two grandmasters under them had all arrived.In addition to them, Eric and Ruth were also in position, while the remaining members of the Combat Department were lurking around Tiger's residence.Besides Eric, the others were seeing Ruth for the first time.Seeing Ruth and Eric arriving together, Tiger asked, "Mr. Johnson, who is she?"Meanwhile, Matteo was familiar with Ruth. Being from one of the top families in King City, it was hard to keep her identity a secret. However, he chose not to reveal it.Eric said, "Tiger, this is Lieutenant General McClain from the Combat Department. We have been gathering information about the Crimson grandmasters, and tonight's operation is only possible because of the gathered intel." Tiger looked at Ruth with admiration. He had never heard of the Combat Department before, but just the name indicated it was a formidable force. Only now did he understand the saying, 'There are always people who are stronger

"Mr. Orlando!" Paxton and Kayden turned around. When they saw Eric, they were stunned. "Why are you here?" Paxton asked. They had met a few times, and Paxton secretly admired Eric. After all, with a face full of scars, he dared to establish the Innova Group and pose a significant threat to the three major international giants.Eric shrugged. "Why am I here? I was entrusted to hold the fort. Is Shadow not here yet?"He glanced at Paxton's group but did not spot Shadow. "You know Shadow? And who entrusted you?" Paxton asked.He did not know how an insignificant person like Eric knew about Shadow.Before he could make sense of the situation, Ruth came out and said, "Mr. Orlando, of course, he was entrusted by me! It's such a pity that Shadow didn't show up. However, even if he did show up tonight, there's nothing he could do either!"Paxton was taken aback again when he saw Ruth. "You seem confused," Ruth said. "Paxton Orlando, Kayden Orlando, it seems you two are the two C

Soon, Eric caught up with Kayden.Seeing there was no escape, Kayden stopped running and turned to Eric. "Mr. Johnson, we barely know each other. Why must you do this to us?"He had no idea of how powerful Eric was, so he did not dare to attack him recklessly. "Well, you're right," Eric said, "However, I'm from the Combat Department, so I have the responsibility to arrest you.""You're from the Combat Department, too?" Kayden was stunned. "Yes, I'm Lieutenant General Johnson." "Lieutenant General?" Kayden scoffed. "Let me see if you're worthy of that title or not!" After that, he charged at Eric. They had made the wrong decision tonight. There was a high chance that all of them would be arrested. As Kayden drew near, Eric extended his hands and delivered a forceful punch toward Kayden's fist.In the next moment, a loud crack echoed as Kayden was sent flying by Eric's punch, landing several meters away. He spat out blood, his face filled with horror as he looked at his def
