The Combat Department interrogated the assassin through the night. When dealing with individuals of such nature, they had their ways.Meanwhile, Eric dialed a number.As soon as the call connected, Eric chuckled. "No one has been sent to our territory for any assassinations lately, right?"Stealthbane was nearly frightened out of his wits. "Mr. Johnson, absolutely not! We haven't sent anyone over for a long time! We've even stopped accepting jobs from there!"With a cold sneer, Eric remarked, "Stopped accepting them? Yet, tonight, a highly professional assassin came to kill me! Are you saying you had no involvement in this?"Stealthbane was trembling. "Absolutely not! Mr. Johnson, don't you trust me? Though I often engage in shady activities, when I say I haven't done something, I haven't!"Eric retorted, "If I say it didn't happen, it didn't. What's the difference between that and a forced confession?"Eric smirked and added, "I still trust your integrity, but perhaps these are

As Eric entered, Kurt's face turned pale, instantly filled with panic!Just two days ago, he had sent someone to kill Eric, and the assassin had been missing for two days.He had assumed the assassin had succeeded! Otherwise, why wouldn't Eric have shown up the next day? After all, Eric was their key expert!Now, Eric's appearance filled Kurt with a sense of impending doom. If Eric was there, then where was his subordinate?!Eric sat down calmly, without a word. He slowly opened his laptop and glanced at the GHO team. "You want to see evidence? So be it. I'll show you. Pay attention and don't blink!" Casting the screen, Eric said, "Since the outbreak in Dortmund City, we rushed to the scene immediately to prevent the spread of the virus and also to study its characteristics."This statement carried significant weight.Why would he say that? The reason was simple: the Combat Department prioritized everyone's lives rather than diverting resources to investigate the source upon ar

Kurt was thoroughly deflated as he looked at Eric, "Mr. Johnson, aren't you afraid I'll inform Catellon? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to reach me?"He was perplexed.Eric had the upper hand now, with the full capability to take him and his companions down directly. Even if they were captured or worse, killed, as long as Eric presented the evidence, no one would dare to oppose him.Eric chuckled. "Afraid? What is there to fear? Let's be frank. You hold some value to me. If you were of no value, would I even know who you are? Whether you live or die, what does it matter to me?"Of course, I'm a bit petty. If I can't reach you in time, I might just release all this information. And the recordings of these past few days' meetings."You might doubt my ability to apprehend across borders, but I can have others do it."Oh, and you might not be aware of my connection with the Rogers family. Although we're not on the same side, if I were to call Brent and ask for help in nabbing so

Stealthbane revealed a book, its cover likely made of aged parchment. Eric fixed his gaze upon Stealthbane. "Where did you get this thing from?"He had already guessed its contents, but he wondered if Stealthbane had seen them and if he understood.To his surprise, Stealthbane cursed before replying, "Got this thing from an auction house in Erweston, cost me 2,000,000 dollars!" He continued. "Wasn't even interested in it at first, but seeing them constantly raising the bid got me curious. Never thought after my bid… Damn it! No one else followed!"What surprised me more was when I got hold of this thing, someone came to kill me, demanding I hand it over. That's when I realized this thing was not ordinary," Stealthbane explained, frustration evident in his tone. "I flipped through it and saw some text, as well as what seemed like human acupoints, like some ancient martial arts. But I couldn't understand a thing! I figured since you're a legend, I'd come find you!"Eric kept his ga

Eric didn't chase after them, so Stealthbane didn't dare to pursue either.The opponents were two formidable experts, each no weaker than him. Engaging in a one-on-one fight held no certainty of victory for him, especially considering that one of them seemed only injured, not dead yet."What's the point of giving chase?" Eric said, "They're faster than rabbits, and Dortmund City is filled with tall buildings. They could easily hide in any corner. How do we even begin to search?"I was going to ask you, do you know them?"Stealthbane shook his head.Seeing this, Eric furrowed his brow. "Where did these experts come from?"He was puzzled. Such skilled individuals were rarely seen in the past, yet today, two had appeared. It was not a simple situation."Is that assassin organization still under your control?" Eric asked.Stealthbane sighed. "I'm afraid not. I'll try to contact them later. If I can't reach them, they're probably in trouble!"Eric nodded. "When we reach King City,
