Stealthbane spat with contempt, "Having come this far, there's no reason to stop. Even if the one sitting on the 16th floor is God, I will take Him down!"His team had moved swiftly, from the 1st floor all the way up there, without relying on elevators. The primary reason was the cramped space of the elevators, making them susceptible to control. Staircases offered a much safer passage.However, just as Stealthbane's men advanced, a shout echoed. "Damn it! Grenade!"Almost simultaneously, an explosion followed!The corridor trembled as the grenade exploded at the stairwell, inevitably causing casualties among Stealthbane's forces.Cries of agony filled the air."Fuck!" Stealthbane's eyes reddened. Pushing aside those ahead, he charged forward himself."Move!" Eric didn't lag behind either. It would be quite amusing if this so-called king of assassins fell victim to a simple grenade.This operation was far more perilous than Stealthbane had anticipated—the opponents had even dep

In a battle between experts, a single moment of negligence could spell certain death. The likes of Stealthbane, a seasoned assassin, seized any opportunity to strike lethally—there was no room for negotiation.The current situation was no different. If Stealthbane didn't finish off his opponent, he would risk meeting his own demise.With a successful strike, Stealthbane stepped back several paces, his brow furrowed as he observed his opponent."Damn it! At this level, you are still wearing stab-proof gear?" His blade hadn't found its mark. Though it had torn through the opponent's clothes, they were still clad in protective gear—a realization that caught Stealthbane off guard.No matter how sharp the blade, it couldn't breach stab-proof armor.Discarding his torn clothes, the opponent sneered. "I spotted you on surveillance. Isn't this your favorite trick? If I hadn't been cautious, my intestines would be spilling out by now! You've been shot. Let's see how long you can last!"Th

Stealthbane wore a smug expression as if he considered himself highly cunning. "Boss probably didn't notice that prince's wrist. There's a pattern on the inner side of his wrist—a small eye, covered by his watch. And that little eye is the emblem of the Luminous!""This prince is evidently a Luminous member!""This is quite interesting. The appearance of an Erwestonian prince in this context, especially as a Luminous member, is intriguing. Normally, royals distance themselves from organizations like the Luminous, considering themselves noble. Why would they stoop to association with it?"Eric furrowed his brow. "Are you suggesting... the Luminous is targeting the royals?""Exactly," Stealthbane affirmed. "That's what I believe too! There's a possibility that although there's a clear distinction between the royals and the Luminous, the latter seeks to infiltrate the former. Hence, we have this pompous prince."Don't overestimate these princes, Boss. They may sound grand as 'princes

Eric remarked, "What's seen is to be shared. When you two get married, I'll allocate a portion of it to you."He was generous, treating money as mere dirt!Over the past few years, the Locke brothers had contributed significantly to him, naturally deserving their share. Even if Eric only allocated 10%, it would still be a considerable fortune.Although the Locke brothers were already financially independent, who would complain about having more money?-Back in King City, Eric truthfully discussed the matter with Pierce. Essentially, he was asking how to handle these things. Naturally, Eric was only symbolically asking, and Pierce could see that.Pierce chuckled and said, "We don't have Stealthbane's leverage, so we can't do anything to him. As for the things he gave you, that's your personal matter. Handle it yourself."Pierce felt that Eric shouldn't accept the items Stealthbane gave him. Sometimes, a person's value far exceeded material possessions.Still, Pierce could tell

The gentle blend of several temperaments was irresistibly captivating.Sylvia turned around, gazing at Eric. "What do you think? Beautiful, isn't it?"Eric swallowed hard. "Absolutely beautiful!"Finally, he understood why Sylvia had locked the door.'In the office?' Just the thought made one's blood boil.Eric had been holding it in for about ten days! -It wasn't until the end of the afternoon that they finally left the office.Sylvia glanced at Eric. "Is your back still hurting?"She recalled that before Eric went to Haevon, his back troubled him every morning, and even his 'Johnson Jr.' couldn't withstand her actions."Take it easy!" Eric said softly. "I still want to live a few more years."Sylvia smiled faintly, about to say something when Eric's phone rang.Seeing it was an unknown caller, Eric answered. "Hello, who's this?"A voice came from the other end. "Is this Mr. Johnson? We have goods from Haevon. Where should we deliver them?"Eric was stunned. He had spe
