Eric had already settled everyone, including the service staff. Although 20 grandmasters weren't considered extremely powerful, caution was always wise.After the arrangements were made, all the lights in the estate were turned on, casting a glow on their surroundings.The estate's gate stood wide open, a symbolic welcome for the grandmasters. A gateway to hell awaited them!Low-hanging clouds in the sky threatened rain at any moment.Vince gazed at the sky and remarked, "The heavens are favoring us. Heavy rain is likely in less than half an hour. By then, all traces will be washed away."A substantial downpour would ensure that no one witnessed tonight's conflict.With the Combat Department working behind the scenes, the fate of 30 grandmasters in King City would remain unknown.Alexander and the others remained hidden in a shelter, secured by a blast-resistant door. Not even a bomb could breach it, and the door could only be opened from the inside. As a wealthy family, they ha

The group of grandmasters grew anxious—the words sounded familiar. It appeared that, before engaging in combat, the Combat Department would use similar phrases.Before the grandmasters could fully grasp the situation, Eric had already made his move.A grandmaster was sent flying with a punch, landing on the ground with a thud. It was the first time the Montgomery bodyguards witnessed Eric in action, while those who had seen him spar with Urias before noted his increased strength.At that time, Eric had already surpassed Urias, and now he proved even more formidable. The grandmasters couldn't withstand a single punch!The Montgomery and Combat Department defenders joined the fray, with Vince guarding the gate to prevent escapes.Eric aimed for a quick and decisive victory, attacking with various moves.The grandmasters struggled to withstand more than one move, and the Combat Department personnel, armed with short blades, added to the difficulty for their opponents.With Eric and

As Pierce had anticipated, the Larson estate was empty, with only a few grandmasters remaining.The loss of over 30 grandmasters dealt a severe blow to the Larsons. Shadow had deceived Owen. Before the operation, Shadow had confidently asserted that the two families were no match for them. Only then did Owen dare to dispatch his people.For Shadow, the Larson grandmasters meant nothing to him.Owen's expression darkened upon seeing the troops from the Combat Department entering. He quickly regained composure and smiled. "General Fischer, why are you here? Our family has always abided by the law and never engaged in illegal activities! We are good citizens!"Pierce scanned the surroundings, confirming that the estate was indeed empty. He calmly took a seat."Mr. Larson, do you think the Combat Department doesn't know what kind of business the Larsons are involved in? Is it necessary for me to explain it in detail to you?"Owen's expression changed slightly. He had heard of the Com

The Larsons had even covertly assisted the Crimson Order in their domestic operations."Mr. Shadow! Why haven't you shown yourself? The Larsons are in danger. If you don't appear now, I'll become a prisoner under the Combat Department!" Owen shouted.He was in a state of panic. Only Shadow could save him from the Combat Department's intervention.Shadow chuckled and materialized, accompanied by a few experts, all grandmasters.Pierce narrowed his eyes. "Crimson Order's second in command, Lucius Ortega, known as Shadow! Finally, I get to meet you!"It was the first encounter between Pierce and Shadow. Pierce admired Shadow, a formidable individual.Despite being surrounded by Combat Department personnel, Shadow still managed to appear at the Larsons. That demonstrated some level of skill.Shadow chuckled and said, "General Fischer, you're too kind. The Combat Department is indeed formidable, chasing us everywhere and making things difficult for us! But after tonight, these days w

"A legend?" Owen was well aware that trouble was brewing. Legends were the only individuals capable of handling the situation, and the absence of any action from Dante suggested the Combat Department boasted three such legends."Mr. Shadow, we're in trouble!" he exclaimed toward Shadow, who was deeply immersed in a fierce battle with Pierce.However, Shadow paid no heed. Pierce's skill was undeniable, nearly surpassing Shadow by a hair's breadth.Pierce's forceful punch sent Shadow reeling backward. Simultaneously, Eric was locked in combat with Owen.In this brief skirmish, Owen grasped the extent of Eric's strength. A single punch forced him back more than ten steps, stifling the urge to cough up blood."W-Who are you?!" Owen's face turned pale.With a single punch, it became clear that Owen was no match for Eric.Looking at Owen, Eric calmly identified himself, "Lieutenant General of the Combat Department, Eric Johnson."Even Shadow couldn't help but glance over. He had be

One of them was the opposing country's General, and the other was none other than Pierce, with Eric standing beside him! Despite the faint voices in the footage, they could still be heard clearly."When the border defense retreats 100 kilometers, you can take advantage of the situation to advance, and that piece of land will be yours!" Pierce told the enemy General.The enemy General laughed heartily. "Good! Thanks to General Fischer and Lieutenant General Johnson! I'll remember your kindness! Your interests will not be shortchanged by a single bit!"The members of the Combat Department were dumbfounded as they discussed among themselves."Are they really colluding and betraying the country?""Capture them! Including Lieutenant General McClain! As Pierce's protege, she has been responsible for this operation! Show no mercy and capture her!" Dante exclaimed.However, no one took action. Pierce was still the General of the Combat Department, after all. Shortly after, some members

Dante seethed with anger. The escape of Eric and Ruth could spell trouble for them. Under Pierce's guidance, Eric would undoubtedly thoroughly investigate the matter.While deep in thought, Shadow chuckled. "Lieutenant General Vernon, you really haven't disappointed me! No, I should address you as General Vernon now!"Dante sneered at Shadow, saying, "Don't think you can escape either!"He charged toward Shadow, aiming not only to secure the position of the Combat Department's General but also to capture Shadow.If Dante could apprehend Shadow, it would eliminate any doubts about his ability to become the next General.Pierce had severely injured Shadow, so the latter staggered backward under Dante's punch."How dare you, Dante!" Shadow spat out blood, his face filled with shock. He never expected the entire plan to inadvertently benefit Dante. He was the only one in his best condition on the entire battlefield."Shut up!" Dante shouted as he charged towards Shadow again.Shado

Dante sat next to him, lighting a cigarette before speaking. "Pierce, I never expected this from you! You used to be loyal, so I never thought you'd betray the country's interests!"Pierce frowned, sensing something fishy between Dante and Shadow. The traitor Shadow had mentioned now seemed to be Dante.With Dante in power, anything Pierce said seemed futile."Why betray your country? What did the enemy General promise you? Isn't being the Combat Department's General enough for you?" Dante asked, his ambition evident.Pierce closed his eyes, staying silent.Dante sneered, realizing the situation was entirely under his control.-Back at the Combat Department, Dante issued three wanted orders through their channels. Eric was listed top priority, followed by Shadow, and Ruth at the end.-At the Montgomery residence.Sylvia was still in shock from Eric's call. She couldn't comprehend what had happened."What's wrong?" Grace asked, noticing Sylvia's expression.Sylvia was unab
