Nigel hastily returned, and his expression was grim."Ms. Williams… I'm afraid your money can't be transferred," he stated.Sylvia's demeanor shifted.Eric frowned and retorted, "Mr. Dolittle, what do you mean it can't be transferred? That's over 4 billion dollars, not 40 dollars! The country explicitly stipulates freedom of deposit and withdrawal. Just saying it can't be transferred doesn't explain anything."Nigel wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew he couldn't offend the group and had to carefully consider his actions. He took a deep breath and confessed, "To be honest, our bank is out of money. We can't even transfer 1 billion dollars, let alone 4 billion dollars..."Eric narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected things at King City Bank to unfold so rapidly. As one of the top-ranking banks in the country, King City Bank should have at least hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets, yet they couldn't come up with 1 billion dollars?"Mr. Dolittle, it seems that King

Money profoundly impacted everyone's interests. In its absence, conflicts would escalate, leading to unpredictable consequences. Additionally, the bank functioned as a credit institution, and if it lost credibility, how could ordinary people maintain their credit?Collapsing was inevitable in a society without credit until a new credit system emerged.Indeed, currency, or money itself, represented credit. Devoid of credit, money was essentially worthless."Big Boss, Lieutenant General Johnson, the capital outflow from King City Bank is more severe than anticipated. Preliminary estimates suggest it has reached 50 billion dollars, and we've only traced less than half of it!"We've identified around 20 billion dollars flowing abnormally. We've temporarily frozen those channels, but they likely have other methods. Our team is investigating the addresses, and it should be in King City!" Miller reported."Act swiftly! This involves the interests of every depositor and is related to nati

"They must have left traces while transferring the money. We just need to follow the lead," Eric remarked.Eric pondered whether the Crimson Order was behind this. Since the Larson incident, the Crimson Order appeared to have vanished without a trace. According to Eric and the Combat Department's understanding of the Crimson Order, they wouldn't stay quiet and avoid causing trouble.However, aside from Shadow, the Combat Department had no more leads on the Crimson Order.Miller sighed. "Considering what happened in Westlake, Sunridge, and now King City, things seem to be getting more complicated."While the team of specialists worked on recovering losses, Eric and Miller remained at the club. Soon, reinforcements arrived, and Pierce had the Combat Department send over meals since some members hadn't eaten yet.Miller was also starving. Eric had eaten at noon, but Miller hadn't had anything.While enjoying their meals, Miller's ears twitched. "Someone's coming!"He immediately se

This inevitably led to various speculations. What was the connection between the Feynmans, the money laundering station, and the underground arena in King City? Things had become more complicated and tricky with the Larsons gone and the Feynmans about to meet their downfall.-At King City Bank.Miller reported back to Pierce. His expression turned grim after learning that the Feynmans and King City's underground arena were involved in this matter."Big Boss, should we investigate the Feynmans?" Miller asked.It would be ridiculous to say the Feynmans were not involved in this matter since the money laundering station was established in the basement of one of their clubs.Pierce shook his head. "Let's not alert them for now. These elite families are not easy to deal with. If the Feynmans learn we're investigating them, it will be even harder to deal with them later."He hadn't forgotten the incident with the Larsons, which nearly delivered a heavy blow to the Combat Department.

The Combat Department's workload suddenly spiked.Pierce not only had to grapple with the aftermath left by King City Bank but also had to dispatch people to maintain order outside the bank.Glancing downstairs, Ruth couldn't help but frown. "So many people have arrived? The news has spread too quickly!"Without the Combat Department's constraints, information was only natural to spread rapidly. After the exposure of the incident at King City Bank, depositors swarmed in to retrieve their money."There's nothing wrong with people coming to take back their money. After all, most of them are just ordinary people who have worked hard for decades. The money in their accounts is their entire savings. How are they supposed to live if they can't get back their money?" Pierce said.Ruth sighed. They could only sympathize with the bank tellers as their workload would be overwhelming starting today.Although King City Bank had announced that it would not go bankrupt and withdrawals and tran
