"They arrived today, along with Curtis Lynar," Alexander stated. "They're targeting Hernandez Corp. and have requested that I refrain from lending money to Julius.""Dad, you didn't agree, did you?" Seraphine asked.Alexander smiled. "Am I the type of person without a mind of my own? But I think they won't give up easily, especially Andrew. He claimed you knocked his son's teeth out and attempted to leverage the incident to dissuade me from lending money to the Hernandezes. Isn't it laughable?""What do the Calles mean? Have they forgotten about the lesson I taught?"Grace harbored grievances against the Calles. When they tried to exploit the situation to connect with the Montgomerys, she resisted their attempts and didn't let them have their way."Let them do as they please as long as they don't involve us," Alexander said.The Montgomerys were quietly amassing wealth, and Alexander was delighted. While other families were entangled in conflicts, they were focused on development

King City's underground scene had lost much of its former vibrancy.Initially, the underworld boasted seven or eight distinct gangs. However, as time passed, only Matteo and his gang endured.Although new factions had emerged, they lacked the notoriety and prowess of their predecessors.-In Eric's lounge.Matteo said, "Mr. Johnson, your participation is sure to elevate the excitement of the underground arena to new heights. While instances of one against two were rare in the past, a one-against-three scenario is unprecedented."Despite the decline in the underworld's fortunes, tales of Eric, or more accurately Ghostface, continued to circulate within King City's underground circles. Eric's dominance, fueled by his energy strikes, persisted in the annals of the underground arena.However, his disappearance after just a few matches led many to speculate that Ghostface had either been recruited by the arena's owner or had met an untimely demise.Eric's reappearance promised to in

The mysterious man who spoke up observed silently in the darkness of the underground arena.Usually, the matches continued until one fighter conceded unless they refused to surrender. While some fighters might see dying in the ring as an honor, most valued their lives. After conceding, there was no need to keep fighting or killing the opponent.Speculation circulated that the underground arena's owner had appeared. Rumors suggested that he was searching for Ghostface, whose identity remained unknown.In the pitch-black darkness, Eric sensed hostile eyes fixed on him. Few would be audacious enough to act this way apart from the arena owner. He gazed back."If you don't kill them, then you shall die!"The audience gasped in astonishment. A figure had unexpectedly appeared at the edge of the ring.At the lounge, Matteo couldn't help but stand up. How did that person suddenly appear in the ring?Glancing at Sylvia, he found her looking calm. Puzzled, he wondered if Sylvia was not wo

Eric's words took aback Matteo. As a martial artist, he understood the immense challenge of such an endeavor. While repeating a movement might seem simple, doing it thousands or tens of thousands of times required exceptional perseverance, a quality few possessed.Martial arts training was already a fairly monotonous affair, let alone repeating a single movement day in and day out, perhaps for an entire year.Grim had demonstrated several common moves used by novice martial artists throughout the battle."Could repeating the same move countless times yield such a result?" Sylvia asked in astonishment.After changing into a new set of clothes, Eric and the others prepared to leave. Just then, a man entered the lounge, saying, "Gentlemen, my master wishes to meet you."Sylvia had been to the arena a few times, and Eric wasn't concerned whether the owner knew her identity. He put on his mask, ready to meet the owner.He initially thought Grim was the owner, but that wasn't the case.

The Combat Department had finally acquired some leads regarding the underground arena in King City.Eric had also successfully completed his mission. However, the results were unexpected. It was surprising to discover that a legend was working under the owner of the underground arena. Pierce sensed that the arena posed a threat to King City and must be eradicated.Under Pierce's supervision, King City Bank operated with high efficiency. He aimed not to save the bank but to clear its debts. Premium assets were sold directly to other banks eager to take over.After a few days, Sylvia's savings at King City Bank were processed. After adding up the Hernandezes' savings, the total was around 8 to 9 billion dollars.Naturally, this caused Pierce quite a headache.After handling large transactions, Pierce finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to address the issues behind King City Bank.During these days, the Combat Department also discovered some information. King City
