Chapter 870
As Eric sent Cassius flying with a punch and Damien shouted to take him down, the grandmasters from King City and Energy Fusion simultaneously launched their attacks. Theodore refrained from taking action and watched from a distance. Although he had spat out blood and felt somewhat relieved, he dared not approach recklessly with his injuries.Eric unleashed overwhelming combat power at that moment, and his formidable inner energy even caught Theodore's attention.With a thunderous sound, Eric sent one opponent flying.Witnessing Eric's unstoppable force, Theodore was astonished. "Could this person have mastered the highest secrets of my faction?"Energy Fusion emphasized channeling inner energy, using it as the foundation to enhance their martial arts techniques.Eric's inner energy remained overwhelmingly powerful. Theodore had never seen anyone with inner energy as robust as Eric's other than their faction leader. If it were not for the fact that he had not seen Eric before, h
Chapter 871
All the grandmasters were in a miserable state, most of them with broken limbs. Eric had never been so furious, but Cassius' words ticked him off. If he didn't eliminate these people, they would pose a threat to Sylvia.Theodore's face turned pale. He was the only one still standing while everyone else writhed in pain on the ground.At that moment, Damien supported Cassius as they walked out of the villa. Cassius' mouth was covered in blood. Eric's punch had inflicted significant damage on him.Seeing only Theodore standing, Damien staggered and nearly fell."It's over... everything is over," he muttered.They couldn't accept this outcome. With so many grandmasters gathered and an intricate trap set, how could they fail to capture one person?Suddenly, Cassius seemed to remember something. "Eric! Don't get too carried away! Another team has gone to capture Ms. Williams. I don't believe you will disregard her safety!"Sylvia was his last hope. They could use her as leverage again
Chapter 872
Cassius realized they were in serious trouble. Perhaps they could still find a way to break free from his grip if it had only been Eric. However, the Combat Department's involvement made escape seemingly impossible.In a desperate attempt to defend themselves, Cassius spoke up. "Sir, we adhere to the law and haven't committed any crimes. I believe you have no jurisdiction over us."Miller remained silent, signaling his team to bring in the individuals they had apprehended while trying to abduct Sylvia.Seeing those people, Cassius was shocked. He finally understood why he couldn't reach them by phone—the Combat Department's intervention had thwarted their plans.Miller asked, "Mr. Rockwood, do you recognize these individuals?"Cassius harrumphed coldly. "I don't know what you're talking about. Do you have any evidence to prove they're my men?"He hoped he could avoid further complications by denying any connection to these individuals. In reality, Cassius didn't recognize the peo
Chapter 873
The Combat Department required a meticulous interrogation to unveil the mastermind behind the Rockwoods. Given that their reinforcements originated from King City, the Combat Department speculated that the mastermind might have connections to a prominent family, specifically the Feynmans.However, the Combat Department was committed to avoiding baseless accusations without substantial evidence. Preserving the integrity of the process depended entirely on conducting a meticulous investigation and giving careful consideration to every detail.-"It's finally over!"Upon returning to the hotel, Sylvia embraced Eric tightly. Despite Eric's strength, Sylvia worried about him on every mission.Sylvia's work in Westlake had concluded. Although the Rockwoods had not significantly hindered the Innova Group's progress, Sylvia and Eric would have returned to Salt City much earlier without their interference.The Rockwoods' downfall substantially impacted Westlake, but it did not affect the

In the early morning, the couple headed to the hospital for an examination.Initially, Eric resisted the check-up, but Sylvia's persistence won him over.The examination lasted until noon, and the results wouldn't be available for a few more days. Despite this uncertainty, Eric and Sylvia remained positive.After having lunch at the Innova Group, they began their work.Around 3:00 p.m., Andy entered Eric's office."Eric, it seems like there's an issue in Sunridge."Sunridge, one of the three major data center construction sites, was in the final stages of building the main structure. Just half a month ago, the Innova Group's technical team had conducted on-site inspections.Eric frowned. "What could go wrong there?" The construction of the data center's main building was handled by a third-party construction company, with minimal involvement from the Innova Group. They could only provide suggestions to the third-party construction company based on their own plans to facilitate
Chapter 875
They learned about Sunridge in the noon news, and now people from Sunridge were at the company in the afternoon?Sylvia, Eric, and Andy descended the stairs.At the entrance, security guards blocked two disheveled beggars. Despite their condition, the guards treated them with surprising kindness, offering each a bottle of mineral water.Seeing Sylvia and the others approaching, a security guard stepped forward."Ms. Williams, they claim to be from Sunridge and were employed by Whitlocks Construction a year ago," the security guard explained. "They say they walked here from Sunridge!"The group was stunned. Sunridge was over 1,000 kilometers away from Salt City. It was hard to believe that these people had walked such a distance.When Eric looked at them, he noticed their torn clothes, weathered faces, and, most tragically, the completely worn-out soles of their shoes. The shoe fabric had fused with the flesh on the soles of their feet. Though obscured by dirt, the sight was too h
Chapter 876
Eric and Sylvia decided to head to Sunridge the following day.Jake and Ethan stayed at the hospital, where they had access to meals, beverages, medical care, and the chance to recuperate.The next morning, accompanied by Matthew, they flew to Sunridge.Before boarding the plane, Eric requested the Combat Department to check the information about Whitlocks Construction. This time, he didn't plan to intervene in the name of the Innova Group.-After several hours of flight, they arrived in Sunridge.The Innova Group had already established an office there, and a car was parked in advance at the airport parking lot.Getting into the car, they decided to visit Jake's house first. They were unsure of the situation in Sunridge and couldn't take immediate action.Jake and his family lived in an affordable old house on the outskirts.When Jake moved to Sunridge, he brought his wife and daughter with him, expecting a better life. Unfortunately, they didn't anticipate the current situa
Chapter 877
In theory, the Combat Department would not get involved in this matter, but it seemed unavoidable given the number of people implicated.After ending the call, Jake's wife, Nora Povitch, and daughter, Fiona Mason, returned home, looking weary. Nora carried a large bag filled with bottles, cans, newspapers, and cardboard she had collected. The little girl held a plastic bag, her once tender hands now dirty with noticeable cracks.Sylvia felt sorry for them. She approached Fiona and said, "Come, I'll give you candy.""Thank you, Miss," the little girl sweetly replied.Sylvia smiled, took out a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to Fiona. Perhaps it had been a long time since Fiona had enjoyed such candy, so she immediately cheered and rejoiced."Fiona!" Jake approached and said, "Get off Ms. Williams. You've gotten her clothes dirty!"Sylvia smiled and replied, "It's okay."She genuinely liked children and felt her heart break seeing them suffer.At tha
