Chapter 823
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

Shadow had fabricated the video, and Dante found himself in a panic. He even toyed with the idea of ending it all by taking out everyone present, realizing he was doomed either way. However, he hesitated.Among the people across from him, someone with graying hair caught his eye, someone he didn't recognize. King City housed numerous talented individuals, and he couldn't be sure if this person was specifically targeting him.He clung to hope until the very last moment.The group meticulously scrutinized the document, leaving unchecked no word or punctuation mark. This examination lasted for hours, focusing solely on a video where Dante slandered Eric and the others.After the scrutiny, they engaged in hushed discussions and deliberations for nearly an hour. During this time, one person even left momentarily.Sylvia and Ruth weren't overly nervous, but Dante was on edge. The longer the proceedings, the more anxious he became. The extended time suggested that Sylvia's provided evide

Ruth stepped forward, armed with information to submit—specifically about those two videos.Dante's heart skipped a beat. If the video accusing Eric and the others could undergo voiceprint analysis, what about those two videos?As anticipated, several people frowned upon seeing what Ruth had provided. Skepticism loomed high. After all, if the videos proving the treason of Pierce and the others were fake, then these two videos could also be fabricated.A more thorough examination and meticulous comparison followed. By now, the sky outside had darkened.Finally, the lead person addressed Dante, "Lieutenant General Vernon, have you encountered the second in charge of the Crimson Order, Shadow, also known as Lucius Ortega, in a forest on the outskirts of King City? This encounter took place about a month before the Larson incident."Dante was stunned. Quickly composing himself, he asserted, "Gentlemen, if the video implicating General Fischer is forged, then these two videos of mine a

At the forefront of the group stood an elderly man with white hair. As they entered, Ruth promptly stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Sir."After returning from Phoenix City, Ruth had left for a few days to seek assistance from Pierce's mentor.Pierce lacked the support of a prominent family or a powerful force. His martial prowess was nurtured under the guidance of the white-haired elder, shaping him into the extraordinary individual he had become.The old man waved his hand. "You've worked hard. I see the splendor of our great nation's women in both of you."He felt a deep sense of pride. Under his guidance, Pierce was already a remarkable figure. Even Ruth displayed remarkable courage and skill.The white-haired elder gestured for everyone to sit. "This incident has also served as a wake-up call for Pierce. Enemies are everywhere, and one must not let their guard down."As for Dante, he's definitely feeling uneasy. It won't be long before he acts, most likely within the n
