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

Sylvia tossed the documents onto the table and scoffed, "Lieutenant General Vernon, let me be clear. We're always together, and my husband has never visited any enemy country with General Fischer. He would never do such a thing!"I once had faith in the principles of justice and national security upheld by the Combat Department. But now? Employing tactics of framing and slander? Is this what you guys are doing right now?"Dante was stunned. He knew that Sylvia and others would not immediately sign the documents, but he did not expect her to speak out like that. When Pierce was the General, no one would dare to talk to him this way.Grace and Alexander also threw the documents back onto the table.Grace said, "Two years ago, my son was just a nobody. Now, you are using this kind of method against him. It's truly an honor! We won't sign this document."She was certain her son would not commit such an act. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was a grave accusation

Lionel's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Dante to use bogus accusations against his daughter.He snorted coldly and retorted, "Whether she betrays the country is entirely up to your words. Where's the evidence? I want to see my daughter now!"Lionel knew he needed to be firm in dealing with someone like Dante. Otherwise, he wouldn't get what he wanted.Moreover, the McClains were one of King City's top-tier families. When they ruled over the city, Dante was a nobody.Lionel wanted to see Ruth and understand the situation. At the moment, all he saw was the highest wanted order issued by the Combat Department."See her?" Dante chuckled. "Mr. McClain, I'm sorry, but you might be disappointed. Your daughter and Eric have already gone into hiding. If she's innocent, why did she run?"You know the modus operandi of the Combat Department. We won't wrongly accuse an innocent person, but we won't let a guilty one escape, either!"The notorious Larsons have already been brought to

Dante had his own plan. After sending Lionel and the group of holistic physicians away, he released information about the crimes of Pierce, Eric, and Ruth.The people in King City were taken aback, and countless individuals erupted in applause and cheers. To the common folk, witnessing the downfall of a prominent figure who appeared untouchable became a reason for celebration.Lionel's face sank. Although he anticipated that Pierce had been taken down, the released information made it difficult for him to accept.What puzzled him even more was the cause behind the Combat Department's General and two Lieutenant Generals bearing the accusation of treason.That night, countless people couldn't sleep. Many were trying to find out the inside story, but no insider information emerged.Was Dante having a good time? Not at all.Besides the pressure from Lionel and the holistic medicine community, his phone was almost blown up throughout the night. There were always people who believed th

Sylvia avoided contacting Eric through her usual number to evade any tracking by the Combat Department.In her message, she informed him about Dante's recent visit to the Montgomerys, urging them to sign an accusation document. Sylvia conveyed that no one had signed it, and she had returned to Salt City.It appeared that Dante hadn't decided to cause trouble for them yet.Receiving this message somewhat alleviated Eric's concerns. He messaged Sylvia. Eric: [Stay safe.]-Meanwhile, Dante exited an office building with a frown. The meeting outcome left him dissatisfied. He needed irrefutable evidence to take action against Pierce, as a mere video wouldn't suffice to convict someone of Pierce's stature.What frustrated Dante even more was that the influential figures had explicitly stated that, even if guilty, the most they could do was remove Pierce from the Combat Department and proceed with a lifetime sentencing. The death penalty was not an option.Dante couldn't comprehen

The email's subject line, "Read and Delete," caught Sylvia's attention, highlighting the message's importance. Upon opening it, she discovered two video attachments.After downloading and watching them, shock gripped Sylvia, and she instinctively covered her mouth. The dark images revealed only two figures."I knew you would contact me." The unfamiliar first voice was followed by one that left Sylvia pale with astonishment—Dante."Tell me about your plan. Dealing with Pierce isn't a walk in the park, and the Combat Department is brimming with experts. They hold Pierce in high regard. Changing their minds won't be easy," Dante explained.As Sylvia continued watching, she was further surprised. The other person in the video was Shadow, the elusive figure the Combat Department had been trying to capture.Both meetings between Dante and Shadow were recorded, and the footage ended up in Sylvia's hands—an unexpected turn of events.However, Sylvia realized that the videos were part of

"Most people overwhelmingly agree with this matter and enjoy seeing it unfold. We don't have the upper hand in the situation," Sylvia explained.The more Lionel listened, the more confused he became."Hold on for a second," he interrupted. "What exactly do you want by coming to my place? It seems to me that you're not here to ask for help.Sylvia glanced around and asked, "Mr. McClain, can we find a place with no one around? I need to discuss something with you privately."Lionel knew Sylvia must have learned something. He walked outside for a moment, then returned to ask everyone in the living room to leave.After that, he turned to Sylvia and said, "Please come to my study."Lionel's study was quiet. He closed the door and turned to Sylvia. "Mrs. Johnson, did you discover anything?"Sylvia nodded and took out a USB drive from her bag, placing it in front of Lionel. "Mr. McClain, take a look at this."After inserting the USB drive into the computer and watching the two videos

Lionel greatly admired Sylvia for her meticulousness. Initially, he perceived her as merely a decorative figure, not as remarkable as his daughter.However, he witnessed Sylvia's extraordinary capabilities today. She fearlessly faced danger and considered all possibilities, potentially holding the key to turning the tide for Eric and his companions."Thank you for your compliment, Mr. McClain," Sylvia said with a smile. "I just want to help my husband."Lionel nodded. "He is indeed fortunate to have a wife like you. Alright then. Let's go with your plan. We shall let Dante enjoy his moment before we completely crush him."Understanding the importance of not hastily revealing the video, Lionel recognized the potential for unforeseen consequences. It was crucial to wait until they were almost certain and the voiceprints matched Shadow and Dante.Suddenly, Lionel had another idea. "Mrs. Johnson, Dante also used a video to frame Eric and the others. Mr. Fischer and Eric spoke in the v
