Meanwhile, although Eric was not warmly received at the Combat Department, he was in slightly better condition than Javier. He had not been handed over to the relevant departments, while Javier had already been transferred with explicit instructions from the Combat Department. The Combat Department was not as impressive as Eric had imagined. In fact, it was somewhat rudimentary. He was confined in a simple room with only a table and chair.Even the door made some noise as if it had not been used in a long time and lacked oil.After Ruth entered the room, she started mockingly, "Are you a fool?"Eric initially thought Ruth was referring to the murder incident at the Hernandez residence. To be honest, he felt it was a bad move for him to charge into someone's home and kill them.He replied, "The Hernandez guards surrounded me. I was only defending myself. In that situation, if I didn't eliminate the grandmaster, he would have killed me." He extended his hand to show Ruth the bloo

Pierce offered, "With your skills, you shouldn't limit yourself to just being a martial arts instructor."After pondering for a moment, Eric shook his head and replied, "It's challenging. I have too many responsibilities on my plate, not only with the company but also personal matters."Upon hearing Eric decline their invitation again, Ruth exclaimed, "See? I told you he won't join us! It's not like we're going to die without him anyway! If he doesn't join, so be it! We don't have to bow our heads at him!"Eric raised an eyebrow but remained silent.Pierce chuckled and remarked, "Relax, I don't see any problem with that. You need to put in more effort to get what you want. If he refuses to join us, it just means that we haven't tried hard enough."Eric sighed. He didn't want to dampen Pierce's enthusiasm, but disappointment was inevitable. -Later, Sylvia arrived at the Combat Department, and Pierce personally escorted them out."What's the Combat Department up to?" Sylvia ask

With a resounding crack, the man who arrived with Molly kicked the chair out from under Seth, sending him tumbling head over heels."We've already shown you respect by coming here! Don't act like you're too good for our toast! Who wants to visit this godforsaken place anyway?" he snarled.Leopard clenched his fists as Seth was being bullied. Those in the underworld despised witnessing the elderly, vulnerable, and unsupported being mistreated. Moreover, from Leopard's perspective, Seth had a significant connection to Eric, and bullying Seth would indirectly disrespect Eric.Just as Leopard was about to take action, Eric stopped him. He shook his head and said, "Let's observe for now."It wasn't that he didn't want to help Seth.Firstly, Seth was unharmed, and secondly, he was an outsider. Growing up in Nutikiville, Eric understood that villagers themselves should resolve village matters and outsiders should not meddle. It might even end up offending the entire village.With no one

Eric raised an eyebrow, pondering whether Molly's man was truly one of Scar's underlings. At the same time, a dozen cars rolled into the village, creating a cloud of dust that prompted the villagers to hastily make way, anxiety evident on their faces.Not far from Seth's house, a man waved joyfully.At the forefront of the procession was a Land Rover. A man stepped forward to open the car door, and Scar emerged, looking somewhat disheveled.Leopard's underlings rushed to him, exclaiming, "Boss! It's Scar!"A sense of fear swept through the crowd. Scar held a notorious reputation in King City, far more influential than Leopard."Scar himself is here? What's he doing in the middle of nowhere?" Leopard expressed his astonishment, glancing at Eric with doubts about his ability to handle Scar.Meeting Leopard's gaze, Eric calmly stated, "Go and meet him first. I won't show myself for now."Leopard was rendered speechless.-Outside, Scar surveyed the somewhat desolate hall."Whe

Eric smiled. "It's fine. You can either give it to Matteo or give it to Leopard. Later, when they transfer it to me, I'll pass it on to Mr. Gurth."Witnessing Eric's nonchalance, Scar couldn't help but feel relieved."Can I go now?" he asked."Wait. There's another question. A person of your status shouldn't appear here so quickly. How did you get here so fast?"It didn't make sense that Scar would come to such a place for Mad Dog."Mr. Johnson, to be honest, my subordinates and I found a big tomb nearby! Since Mr. Johnson is interested, why not check it out together?" Scar suggested.Eric was surprised. He didn't expect Scar to be involved in tomb-raiding activities. Waving his hand, he said, "Forget it. I'm not interested. Take care of your subordinates. If you come to trouble Mr. Gurth again, I'll come after you!""Okay, okay!" Scar left in a hurry along with his subordinates, Mad Dog, and Molly.A certain distance away, Scar's face darkened.Mad Dog approached Scar and ask
