"The space inside is too cramped to showcase our skills, so let's settle it outside!"The Locke brothers were unfazed. After all, Eric was with them.Julius couldn't help but sigh at involving Eric in this matter.Curtis burst into laughter, remarking, "Are you out of your mind? You're clearly outnumbered, and you still insist on fighting? Do you have a death wish?""What's so funny? The fight hasn't even started, and you already think you've won?" Matthew retorted, looking at Curtis.Curtis snorted. "Hmph! Cut the crap! Attack and take them down quickly!"Dozens of people swarmed in and surrounded the Locke brothers. Even though the two of them were highly skilled, they couldn't withstand so many opponents of the same level.When the brothers were surrounded, Eric took action.Julius felt a gust of wind, and Eric disappeared without a trace.Before anyone could react, Eric's punch sent a grandmaster flying, knocking down several others simultaneously."Take him down first!"

Julius watched in astonishment as the Calles and Lynars fled.Eric ignored Julius, turned to Sylvia, and said, "Sylvia, let's go back and rest."Sylvia nodded and approached Eric. As they prepared to leave, Julius called out to them, "Wait!" Eric turned around and said, "Next time someone pressures you to sell Hernandez Corp., tell them to seek my opinion first. Don't forget, I also have shares in the company."With that, Eric, Sylvia, Matthew, and Vince left the Hernandez residence.Julius felt uneasy as they departed. He had envisioned offering protection to Eric after assuming control of the Hernandezes, intending to make amends for neglecting him for nearly 30 years. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Eric who had protected the Hernandezes.Nera approached Julius. "Regardless of the outcome, the Hernandezes are safe now, aren't they?"She sensed a coldness in Eric's demeanor. It seemed Eric had shown up tonight primarily because he had a stake in Hernandez Corp. The father an

The Montgomerys were rapidly expanding, boasting a considerable number of grandmasters in their security forces. Without Eric's intervention, the Hernandezes would have faced elimination.After some casual conversation, Sylvia's stomach growled. Her recent habit of staying up late had left her craving late-night snacks.Eric speculated it might be a sign of pregnancy, but a quick pulse check dismissed the notion. Despite both of them not actively pursuing parenthood, their current hectic schedules didn't make it an ideal time for children."Feeling hungry?" Sylvia asked as she grabbed a pastry.Before Eric could respond, Matthew burst in, exclaiming, "Madam, something's amiss. The police are on their way to arrest Mr. Eric."As his words hung in the air, sirens wailed outside the Montgomery residence.Curtis and Andrew joined the scene with wide grins.Grace would never tolerate their presence if not for the police's presence."Why are you here?" Grace asked with a dark express

"I didn't intend to pursue this matter, but now it seems that is not an option anymore."Eric turned, looked at Matthew, and instructed, "Matthew, call Captain Smithson. Have him send someone over to take over this matter. Also, check if the Calles and Lynars have engaged in any illegal activities. If so, handle it according to the law.""Yes, sir." Matthew took out his phone. He had some interactions with Miller and had his number.For Eric, there was a lingering doubt that bothered him. How did the Calles and Lynars gather so many grandmasters tonight?Even if the two families joined forces, they wouldn't have such strength.Eric's actions dumbfounded Andrew and Curtis. Who exactly did Eric ask Matthew to call? They sounded quite formidable.Eric ignored the two and glanced at the police officer."If I were you, I would wait here for a while before deciding whether to get involved in this matter. Of course, you can also arrest the heads of the Calles and Lynars first. Maybe yo

Families like the Calles and Lynars were unlikely to be without any blemishes. It was just a matter of whether the Combat Department wanted to investigate them.Miller went back and conducted interrogations overnight. Considering the clues obtained earlier, he discovered that the Feynmans were scheming something.-Early in the morning, Pierce gathered everyone.With matters at King City Bank resolved it was time for the Combat Department to focus on its mission.Pierce looked at Eric, Ruth, and the others."Based on the clues Captain Smithson obtained last night and analyzed, it's highly probable that the Feynmans are plotting something."The Feynmans seem to be involved with the Rockwoods, Calles, and Lynars. Moreover, the Feynmans are also indirectly involved in the King City Bank incident."We have enough reasons to suspect that the Feynmans are up to no good."Pierce tallied up and realized that the Feynmans had an alarming number of grandmasters. They had dispatched over

Their last operation had targeted the Larsons.-Back at the Montgomerys.Eric briefed Grace on the situation. Given Grace's solid relationship with the Watsons, she emerged as the ideal candidate for this task. Even Grace was roped in to lure out the Feynmans."Isn't it too dangerous?" Grace voiced considerable concern after listening to Eric's plan. After all, the last encounter with the Larsons had left Eric and his group narrowly escaping defeat. Confronting another top-tier family heightened Grace's worries."Mom, it'll be fine," Eric reassured with a smile. "It's different this time. There's certainly danger, but I'll take care of myself."Grace sighed and went off to reach out to the Watsons and McClains."Sylvia, don't go tonight. It might be dangerous," Eric urged.Eric might confront two legends tonight, so he couldn't afford to be careless."Okay, you must be careful."Sylvia remained concerned about Eric's safety, understanding the inevitability of danger in his p

"The money circulating in the underground arena is entirely illicit. Both the underworld and the fighters are well aware of this fact. The money will unquestionably be confiscated if the relevant authorities decide to investigate."Although a 20% tax may seem steep, it's actually reasonable. If this money could be earned legally, I believe everyone would willingly pay the tax."Pierce finally grasped the situation. He wouldn't completely shut down the underground arena. Even if it were closed, another underground arena would emerge.With substantial interests at stake, people on the streets would inevitably take risks. Instead of suppressing it, why not legalize underground fighting and impose taxes?Pierce pondered that they could implement this idea after resolving matters with the underground arena and the Feynmans. Utilizing the funds from the underground arena to enhance people's livelihoods or for other purposes seemed like a good plan.While conversing, the matches had alre

Pierce couldn't help but sigh. Grim's techniques were basic but extremely destructive."What a pity! You'd be an invaluable asset to the Combat Department if you were one of us. It's a shame that you chose the wrong path!" Pierce said.With that said, he attacked again.The battle between the legends was terrifying.It wasn't easy for Pierce to take down Grim in a one-on-one confrontation. Fortunately, Miller and his team had the underground arena under control."Quickly! Go back up, Big Boss!"The Combat Department had many grandmasters, but they didn't adhere to the rules of the martial world. If they could gang up, they would never fight one-on-one. After all, their goal was simply to accomplish victory in every mission.Seeing he was outnumbered, Grim feigned a move and swiftly escaped."Captain Smithson, take a few people to clean up the scene. The rest, follow!"Pierce was determined to capture Grim. Obviously, something fishy was going on in King City's underground aren
