Alex felt an overwhelming sense of joy, eagerly awaiting the surprise Sylvia had in store for him. He was confident it would be nothing short of amazing. His excitement only intensified as Sylvia pulled out her phone to make a call.Before long, a group of sturdy men arrived, leaving Alex utterly bewildered.The leader gestured and commanded, "Take him away!"In a state of confusion, Alex exclaimed, "Wait! Wait! Who are you people? Why are you taking me away?!"Little did he know, this was the grand gift Sylvia had arranged. They were members of the Combat Department, armed with evidence gathered against Alex. Hector had spilled the beans immediately upon his arrest.Sylvia had anticipated potential issues and called Dante in advance. Fortunately, Dante's subordinates were competent enough to handle the situation."Who are we? We are from the Combat Department!" the leader declared.This revelation sent shivers down Alex's spine, realizing he was in deep trouble.Without furthe

Dante let out a sigh involuntarily. During this period, he had faced numerous hardships, realizing that reality deviated significantly from the illusion of having everything under control."Challenging, isn't it?" Pierce sighed. "Had you not conspired with Shadow, would you be entangled in all this? Dante, reconsider before it's too late!"Regret filled him. Legends were already rare, and Dante's persistence meant that the Combat Department might lose a Lieutenant General and a legend. Cultivating such a skilled individual demanded substantial resources and innate talent—both indispensable.Take Eric, for instance—he possessed natural talent. As for resources, Sylvia initially paved the way for him, and later, he encountered influential figures like Tyson and the Celestial Sage Sanctum—resources beyond the reach of ordinary people."Recosinder?" Dante's expression grew grim. "Pierce, there's no turning back!"Eric and Ruth are still on the run, but rest assured, I will reunite the

Someone triggered the infrared alarm, prompting the guard to swiftly stand up. He noticed a shadow rushing toward the villa!"Stop!" he shouted, lunging forward and punching the shadow.The shadow stopped, turned around, and retaliated with a punch!The guard was sent flying across the ground, blood spewing from his mouth. He couldn't muster the strength to draw his gun. Despite his martial arts skills, he was rendered motionless with just a punch. The intruder was exceptionally powerful!The alarm had awakened Eric and Ruth. They witnessed the shadow take down the guard from the second floor.Eric furrowed his brow. "This person is formidable.""How strong? Stronger than Shadow?" Ruth asked.Eric didn't answer, but the punch made him realize that the intruder was on par with a legend. Breaking into the villa in the middle of the night, he was likely coming for Ruth. Such people would surely possess some clues.Eric descended the stairs, determined to intervene tonight without

Due to Eric's speed and robust inner energy, the power he unleashed was enough to startle legends!However, it was the assassins' first encounter with Eric. He was well aware of Eric's legendary status and couldn't afford to be careless, but the power Eric unleashed left him astonished!The assassin screamed miserably as he was blasted several meters away. He coughed violently and was appalled. At his level, defeating an opponent of the same caliber with just one move was challenging, yet he couldn't withstand Eric's single punch. He felt that Eric was extraordinary.Ruth was also stunned. Every time Eric made a move, it felt different. She even wondered if Eric's martial arts prowess surpassed Pierce's.After regaining her senses, Ruth approached the assassin. She wanted to know who wanted her dead, and this assassin surely knew something.Ruth grabbed the assassin, who had already lost his combat ability.The assassin was furious. Being a top assassin, he failed his mission and

Eric and Ruth shared a glance. Stealthbane was even more afraid of death than they had anticipated."Then hurry up and investigate. You only have one day," Ruth urged.Despite the serious injuries, Stealthbane couldn't escape even with time. Yet, in just two hours, he had gathered relevant information. For him, life was more precious than revealing the client's identity."This person is in King City! His money went through three accounts, but my people traced it back to the initial account in King City. His family name is Vernon, and this is his IP address."While it was not a full name, Stealthbane's information was comprehensive enough to reveal the client's identity."It's Dante Vernon!" Ruth's expression darkened. When the first two assassins targeted her, she suspected Dante but lacked evidence. Now, with clues from Stealthbane, it was undoubtedly him.Moreover, Dante had motives.After some thought, Ruth told Stealthbane, "When the person from King City asked you to kill m

Lionel displayed clear displeasure, his face etched with a stern expression."Lieutenant General Vernon! Are your words trustworthy?""Absolutely!" Dante grinned. "The procedures have been completed. I will revoke the wanted order for Ruth shortly. Mr. McClain, please be patient!"Dante had no other choice—the pressure was too much. Even though it was frustrating, he could only allow Ruth to come back first and then think of other solutions."I promised to fulfill your request, and I hope you won't disappoint me, Mr. McClain," Dante added."Don't worry." Lionel nodded. "I won't reveal anything under the premise of ensuring the safe return of my daughter.""That's great!"However, Dante had other plans in mind.-Soon, the wanted order for Ruth was canceled, and Dante began certain arrangements. Having seen the video in Sylvia's hands, he informed his superiors that Lionel and Sylvia were plotting to frame him.If the video was leaked, he wouldn't be in a completely defensive

Several days later, Ruth returned. No one knew where she had been, and even the people Dante had sent to track her had lost her halfway. Her first task upon returning was to find Sylvia."It's enough. I don't want to wait any longer," she said as she received valuable information from Sylvia.The only thing missing was the voiceprint comparison for Pierce, but it did not matter now.She decided to deliver the final blow to Dante."What if Dante becomes desperate?" Sylvia asked worriedly.Dante did not dare to do anything to her because she had evidence against him on her hands. However, if he feels trapped, he might go all out and confront them."I'm not afraid," Ruth replied. "In the past few days, I've called for reinforcements. Tonight, I'll contact my comrades from the Combat Department again and try to take down Dante as soon as possible!"Sylvia frowned. She had always been cautious about dealing with Dante due to numerous concerns. However, she also wanted Eric to return

Lionel frowned. "What agreement? Did we agree that my daughter couldn't report you? I remember we agreed that she wouldn't return to the Combat Department, right?"Dante's face darkened. He was too anxious and presumptuous. Ruth's report had thrown him off balance. From Lionel's words, he knew that Lionel had turned against him.Ruth sat calmly on the side. The McClains lacked a legend, but she wasn't afraid. She was confident that Dante wouldn't dare to harm her.Dante knew very well that it must be Lionel or someone from Sylvia's side who provided Ruth with the evidence, allowing her to report him boldly."Just you wait," Dante said and left.Watching Dante's departing figure, Lionel sighed. "Honey, you've been a bit impulsive. Dante will definitely prepare when he goes back, and it will be even more difficult for us to take action by then."He knew how challenging it was to bring down someone like Dante."No problem. Let him prepare," Ruth said indifferently.She was fully p
