The Larsons and the Visionary Group had finalized their plan to deal with the Innova Group, focusing on Eric. After all, Eric was the co-founder and CIO of the Innova Group, as well as the technological core of the company.Owen and the others speculated that the Innova Group's competitiveness may be attributed to Eric's identity as a prominent holistic physician.Taking care of Eric would eliminate the Innova Group as a concern. However, determining how to deal with Eric had become a significant challenge. Eric had two formidable bodyguards, Vince and Matthew, by his side. Unbeknownst to them, they believed that Vince and Matthew had subdued their men.After much consideration, Owen felt it was necessary to consult with Shadow. It would be better if Shadow could intervene in this matter. However, Shadow was currently not at the Larsons' residence. Instead, he had appeared at Dante's house.The Combat Department possessed substantial intelligence on the Crimson Order, but the latte

Owen coughed violently, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His horror deepened as he noticed Shadow's presence in the room.Owen acknowledged his wrongdoing despite the backing of three major international giants. He had mishandled the situation, and now he faced Shadow's retribution.Feeling the weight of responsibility, Owen urgently sought to swiftly remove Eric and the Innova Group. Failure to do so would result in Shadow holding him accountable. The vast gap between Owen and Shadow became painfully apparent. Even as the head of a top elite family, Owen found himself easily manipulated by Shadow.-Meanwhile, Eric kept a vigilant eye on the department's situation. He anticipated that Hector's group wouldn't relent easily after suffering a significant blow.Contrary to Eric's expectations, they didn't return to the department. Losing over a dozen members was undoubtedly a setback for them.At this point, the Innova Group's crisis had temporarily subsided. Hector understoo

Dante had planned to use Shadow, unaware that Shadow had set him up.After Dante departed, someone approached Shadow."Did you record everything?" Shadow asked with a smile."Everything has been recorded, Mr. Shadow," the person replied."Good!" Shadow glanced in the direction Dante had left. "Simple methods are the most effective! Now we don't have to worry about Dante not following our orders!"-While awaiting Shadow's message, Dante carefully concealed his intentions, trying not to let Pierce notice anything.Eric was correct—the Visionary Group and the Larsons didn't stay idle for long. In the afternoon, while Eric and Sylvia had dinner at the Montgomerys, they learned about the Larsons' actions."There have been some losses, but it hasn't reached a critical point yet. We are taking countermeasures.""They also targeted the Hernandezes. Their losses are even greater than ours!" Grace informed.Unable to deal with the Innova Group, the Visionary Group and Larsons turned t

Sylvia felt at ease staying with the Montgomerys, though she harbored some concerns. "Eric, the Hernandezes appear to be facing challenges. Do you foresee any issues?"In the past, such a statement would have been deemed absurd. However, the current reality for the Hernandezes was quite different. Once a prominent family with numerous experts, though not on par with elite families like the Watsons or McClains, they had enough experts to safeguard their interests.Yet, Javier had stretched thin the Hernandez experts in recent years.Eric remained silent. He and Julius had only met a few times, never engaging in a proper conversation or establishing a bond. Julius had never shown any concern for Eric, and the latter had never cared about Julius' life or death.Observing Eric's silence, Sylvia clarified, "I mean no offense. I just want to ensure you won't have regrets. After all, he is your biological father..."Sylvia was always considerate, recognizing the significance of family ti

Eric had already settled everyone, including the service staff. Although 20 grandmasters weren't considered extremely powerful, caution was always wise.After the arrangements were made, all the lights in the estate were turned on, casting a glow on their surroundings.The estate's gate stood wide open, a symbolic welcome for the grandmasters. A gateway to hell awaited them!Low-hanging clouds in the sky threatened rain at any moment.Vince gazed at the sky and remarked, "The heavens are favoring us. Heavy rain is likely in less than half an hour. By then, all traces will be washed away."A substantial downpour would ensure that no one witnessed tonight's conflict.With the Combat Department working behind the scenes, the fate of 30 grandmasters in King City would remain unknown.Alexander and the others remained hidden in a shelter, secured by a blast-resistant door. Not even a bomb could breach it, and the door could only be opened from the inside. As a wealthy family, they ha
