"Can you handle it?" Sylvia asked. "If not, should I call for support from the Combat Department?"Her concern was evident. If the Rockwoods summoned reinforcements, Eric would face a challenging situation despite his formidable fighting skills."No need," Eric replied, shaking his head. "The Combat Department has its own priorities. We just need to inform them to keep an eye on the Rockwoods. Besides, they can mobilize quickly. If anything unusual happens, the Combat Department personnel will arrive promptly."Eric preferred not to use Combat Department resources recklessly unless absolutely necessary. After all, they were only a handful of legends in the country, and he did not anticipate their support against the Rockwoods. In the absence of legends, Eric was confident he could handle the situation.Concerning the situation in Westlake, Eric had already compiled the information into a dossier within the Combat Department's internal system. In the event of a direct confrontation,

The four Rockwood brothers had attacked Eric the previous night. Despite outnumbering him, they were thoroughly defeated.Upon receiving the news, Finnick's face turned pale.-Finnick returned to the project site and respectfully said, "Mr. Johnson, please give me your orders!"In Westlake, Finnick served as the hands and feet, while the Rockwoods were the brains behind the operation. Finnick's fate relied on the Rockwoods' favor, and he couldn't shake the suspicion that Eric had schemes in mind.Even when the Rockwoods united against Eric, they couldn't match his prowess. One could imagine the outcome if they continued targeting the Innova Group.Although Finnick hailed from the underworld, he cherished his life and wouldn't choose death if given the chance to live.Seeing Finnick's attitude, Eric knew he had inquired about the previous night's events."Anyway, I have a job for you. Ms. Williams, myself, and the rest of the Innova staff can't stay here forever. I want you to

All the grandmasters from King City and the Energy Fusion members had gathered at the Rockwood residence.The middle-aged man standing before the group possessed a head of gray hair, defying the typical appearance associated with his age. Even Damien extended him the respect he warranted."Mr. Duskin!" Damien exclaimed, "He overwhelmed the four of us. I fear he's not just a grandmaster but a legend."The middle-aged man was Theodore Duskin, the third in seniority of Energy Fusion.Theodore chuckled with disdain. "A legend? I've dedicated 45 years to Energy Fusion. It's highly unusual for anyone to reach the grandmaster level before turning 30. Even our most exceptional disciples only become grandmasters around that age."Legends in the country are rare, and becoming one by 30 is unheard of. He's slightly more powerful than you, and fear clouds your judgment?"He found it somewhat amusing. One needed time to refine their martial arts skills, and everyone underwent that process. Ev

Theodore stood in stunned silence, trembling with anger. It was unfathomable to him that a martial artist was oblivious to Energy Fusion. As he prepared to confront Eric, Damien intervened, urging him, "Mr. Duskin, calm down! Remember our plan!"Damien's concern stemmed from the fear that Theodore might not match up to Eric, and a defeat could severely dent their morale.Cassius confidently stepped forward, a self-assured smile playing on his lips. Despite dispatching a few grandmasters to Sylvia, a dozen still stood by him, reinforced by the reputable Energy Fusion. Cassius felt assured that Eric's fate was sealed this time."I apologize, Mr. Johnson. Our family can't thrive in Westlake any longer. Change is imperative, and an opportune moment has presented itself. Mr. Johnson, wouldn't you seize such a chance if you were in our shoes?"Eric nodded. "So, the opportunity you speak of is orchestrated by the Feynmans, correct?"Cassius frowned, bewildered by how Eric had acquired th

As Eric sent Cassius flying with a punch and Damien shouted to take him down, the grandmasters from King City and Energy Fusion simultaneously launched their attacks. Theodore refrained from taking action and watched from a distance. Although he had spat out blood and felt somewhat relieved, he dared not approach recklessly with his injuries.Eric unleashed overwhelming combat power at that moment, and his formidable inner energy even caught Theodore's attention.With a thunderous sound, Eric sent one opponent flying.Witnessing Eric's unstoppable force, Theodore was astonished. "Could this person have mastered the highest secrets of my faction?"Energy Fusion emphasized channeling inner energy, using it as the foundation to enhance their martial arts techniques.Eric's inner energy remained overwhelmingly powerful. Theodore had never seen anyone with inner energy as robust as Eric's other than their faction leader. If it were not for the fact that he had not seen Eric before, h
