Paxton was well aware of the powerful families in King City. He understood that fighting the McClains was like hitting an egg with a rock."How could it be her? Paxton murmured, "How did my son offend her?"His anger subsided when he learned that Ruth was from the McClains. Instead, he resented his son. Of all the people to provoke, why choose them? Wasn't that seeking death?Although Paxton was affiliated with the Crimson Order, he knew that they would not recklessly confront a top-tier family for him. It was not cost-effective for the Crimson Order. Moreover, with his own capabilities, he could not handle a formidable family like the McClains. This trip to the Innova Group had brought more trouble than Paxton had bargained for. Even though he had identified the culprit, he could do nothing.Unaware that Ruth was quietly observing him from the Innova Group's upper floors, Paxton spoke to Sylvia and Eric. "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, thanks for providing this information. If she r

After finishing his drink, Paxton poured another glass for himself while Ruth just watched silently.Paxton continued. "Ms. McClain, I understand that you're from a top-tier family in King City, and my family can't afford to mess with you. However, even considering the circumstances, don't you think you went a bit too far? Is there no fault on your part at all?"Ruth chuckled. "Indeed, Mr. Orlando, if we set aside the facts, can we say that I am faultless?"This tone did not sit well with Paxton. Ruth said, "Mr. Orlando, do you, as a father, not know who your son really is? He seemed to like Ms. Williams, but secretly, he gave me his number. What does that imply?"It's because I have some background and know a bit of martial arts that Wince can't do anything to me. But what if I were an ordinary woman without any self-defense skills? Following your logic, should she just allow your son to take advantage of her?"Don't you think that sounds a little bit unreasonable?" Ruth contin

At Tiger's place.Roland, Matteo, and two grandmasters under them had all arrived.In addition to them, Eric and Ruth were also in position, while the remaining members of the Combat Department were lurking around Tiger's residence.Besides Eric, the others were seeing Ruth for the first time.Seeing Ruth and Eric arriving together, Tiger asked, "Mr. Johnson, who is she?"Meanwhile, Matteo was familiar with Ruth. Being from one of the top families in King City, it was hard to keep her identity a secret. However, he chose not to reveal it.Eric said, "Tiger, this is Lieutenant General McClain from the Combat Department. We have been gathering information about the Crimson grandmasters, and tonight's operation is only possible because of the gathered intel." Tiger looked at Ruth with admiration. He had never heard of the Combat Department before, but just the name indicated it was a formidable force. Only now did he understand the saying, 'There are always people who are stronger

Soon, Eric caught up with Kayden.Seeing there was no escape, Kayden stopped running and turned to Eric. "Mr. Johnson, we barely know each other. Why must you do this to us?"He had no idea of how powerful Eric was, so he did not dare to attack him recklessly. "Well, you're right," Eric said, "However, I'm from the Combat Department, so I have the responsibility to arrest you.""You're from the Combat Department, too?" Kayden was stunned. "Yes, I'm Lieutenant General Johnson." "Lieutenant General?" Kayden scoffed. "Let me see if you're worthy of that title or not!" After that, he charged at Eric. They had made the wrong decision tonight. There was a high chance that all of them would be arrested. As Kayden drew near, Eric extended his hands and delivered a forceful punch toward Kayden's fist.In the next moment, a loud crack echoed as Kayden was sent flying by Eric's punch, landing several meters away. He spat out blood, his face filled with horror as he looked at his def

Eric, Sylvia, and Mell rushed to King City with some documents early the next morning.However, upon reaching their destination, they found it strangely deserted, with only the receptionist appearing half-asleep.Sylvia approached the reception and said, "Hello. We're from the Innova Group and need to see Mr. Larson."The receptionist replied, "Mr. Larson isn't here. Come back tomorrow."Sylvia frowned. "We really need to see Mr. Larson. Could you please inform him that we are..."The receptionist finally fully opened her eyes and said impatiently. "How many times do I have to tell you? Mr. Larson isn't here! Come back tomorrow!"Just when Sylvia was about to say something, Eric chimed in. "Sylvia, let's go back first."Sylvia nodded and left with Eric. Once in the car, Mell said, "I knew it. They're doing this on purpose because we're from the Innova Group. I checked some information last night. Mr. Larson only took office recently. He was a senior executive at the Visionary
