"I've already had someone talk to him today. I'm sure he won't cause you any trouble anymore. If not, he'll be replaced," Cassius said.It seemed like he was attempting to assert the Rockwoods' influence, but in reality, he was merely intimidating them. Since they were aware of Finnick's ties to the Rockwoods, he aimed to convey their influence in Westlake, asserting their ability to act as they pleased.Eric chuckled. "Then, I must thank you for the help. When I dealt with Finnick, he mentioned that the Quintet Tigers had no rivals. Even someone like him dared not cross paths with you. With your support, I feel more at ease now!"Unwilling to swallow his pride, Eric had confronted David in the office when Jasmine cheated on him. The Combat Department supported him now, so he didn't perceive the Rockwoods as a genuine threat.Eric's response took aback Cassius and Damien. While he seemed to be praising the Rockwoods, a careful listener could detect a hint of mockery in his words.

Even though both of them felt that Eric was joking, they weren't scared because Damien was strong."Here I come, Mr. Johnson!" Damien shouted as he charged toward Eric. His attack was powerful, but Eric blocked it with ease.Cassius glanced at Sylvia, noticing a hint of amusement in her calm expression. He wondered if they should take down Sylvia first to distract Eric when his other brothers got there. After all, the plan was in motion, and they needed to ensure nothing went wrong.However, Cassius couldn't shake off the strange feeling. From what he knew about Sylvia, she was smart and never a pushover. Shouldn't she be able to see through their plan? Why hadn't she done anything about it?While Cassius was lost in thought, Damien struggled against Eric. Sweat covered his forehead, yet he still couldn't breach Eric's defense.Even though it seemed like Eric was blocking Damien's advance chaotically, each move was precisely timed. What worried Damien the most was that Eric hadn't

At this level, sheer quantity was far from sufficient to compensate. Sylvia even believed that even if one of them held a gun, they would not be able to defeat Eric.Cassius frowned, wondering if Sylvia and Eric failed to see the ill intentions harbored against them. In his confusion, a sudden change occurred in the battle.The entry of the remaining three Rockwood brothers boosted Damien's confidence. They acted with perfect coordination, and just when they were about to corner Eric, he initiated his retaliation.Taking advantage of Damien's fatigue, Eric struck him with a powerful punch before the others could react. A resounding bang echoed, and Damien was sent flying."Were you holding back all this time?!" Damien spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock. It seemed that Eric was just playing with him.Smirking, Eric replied, "I knew your brothers had returned. I was just waiting for them. In a sparring session, a few injuries are normal. Here I come!"Eric had

"Can you handle it?" Sylvia asked. "If not, should I call for support from the Combat Department?"Her concern was evident. If the Rockwoods summoned reinforcements, Eric would face a challenging situation despite his formidable fighting skills."No need," Eric replied, shaking his head. "The Combat Department has its own priorities. We just need to inform them to keep an eye on the Rockwoods. Besides, they can mobilize quickly. If anything unusual happens, the Combat Department personnel will arrive promptly."Eric preferred not to use Combat Department resources recklessly unless absolutely necessary. After all, they were only a handful of legends in the country, and he did not anticipate their support against the Rockwoods. In the absence of legends, Eric was confident he could handle the situation.Concerning the situation in Westlake, Eric had already compiled the information into a dossier within the Combat Department's internal system. In the event of a direct confrontation,

Eric gestured. "Matthew, check if the cleaning is done."After a moment, Matthew reported, "Sir, there's still some dust in the corners. Our equipment is valuable. We can't let it get dirty!"Finnick was surprised. He could tell Matthew was making things difficult for him. After all, they had to use water buckets and rags to clean every nook and cranny."Did you hear that?" Eric glanced at Finnick. "I've had breakfast, I don't drink cola, and my shoulders aren't sore. As for the 'stunning beauties' you mentioned, I'm not interested. How about finishing up the cleaning?"Finnick had no choice but to instruct his gang to tackle the remaining dust. He wanted to join, but Eric stopped him."Your order, Mr. Johnson!" Finnick said.Eric chuckled at Finnick's eagerness to please. "Finnick, if I'm not mistaken, you got into this position with the Rockwoods' support, right?"Scratching his head, Finnick admitted, "I won't hide it. I did get some support from the Rockwoods, but I have som
Chapter 864
The four Rockwood brothers had attacked Eric the previous night. Despite outnumbering him, they were thoroughly defeated.Upon receiving the news, Finnick's face turned pale.-Finnick returned to the project site and respectfully said, "Mr. Johnson, please give me your orders!"In Westlake, Finnick served as the hands and feet, while the Rockwoods were the brains behind the operation. Finnick's fate relied on the Rockwoods' favor, and he couldn't shake the suspicion that Eric had schemes in mind.Even when the Rockwoods united against Eric, they couldn't match his prowess. One could imagine the outcome if they continued targeting the Innova Group.Although Finnick hailed from the underworld, he cherished his life and wouldn't choose death if given the chance to live.Seeing Finnick's attitude, Eric knew he had inquired about the previous night's events."Anyway, I have a job for you. Ms. Williams, myself, and the rest of the Innova staff can't stay here forever. I want you to

For the Rockwoods, Finnick was just a tool. They could easily replace him with someone even more capable."When are the people from King City coming?" Cassius asked.His brothers were badly hurt and too weak to continue the fight against the Innova Group. They needed reinforcements from King City to stand a chance, or else they would have to give up."They should arrive in the next few days. I've also informed my faction about our situation. I hope they'll send a few experts," Damien said.Cassius said, "While the support from your faction is good, the most important thing is the reinforcements from King City. After all, it's unreasonable for them to rely on us at the forefront while they reap the benefits at the back. If they don't send reinforcements and the Innova Group retaliates, it's not going to turn out well for them either!"Damien was startled. Apparently, their defeat at Eric's hand last night had dealt a massive blow to his elder brother.-As the Rockwoods bided the

All the grandmasters from King City and the Energy Fusion members had gathered at the Rockwood residence.The middle-aged man standing before the group possessed a head of gray hair, defying the typical appearance associated with his age. Even Damien extended him the respect he warranted."Mr. Duskin!" Damien exclaimed, "He overwhelmed the four of us. I fear he's not just a grandmaster but a legend."The middle-aged man was Theodore Duskin, the third in seniority of Energy Fusion.Theodore chuckled with disdain. "A legend? I've dedicated 45 years to Energy Fusion. It's highly unusual for anyone to reach the grandmaster level before turning 30. Even our most exceptional disciples only become grandmasters around that age."Legends in the country are rare, and becoming one by 30 is unheard of. He's slightly more powerful than you, and fear clouds your judgment?"He found it somewhat amusing. One needed time to refine their martial arts skills, and everyone underwent that process. Ev
