Leroy voiced his concern, "We must deploy our covert operatives to investigate Kurt, but King City is a very dangerous place for that. If our operatives are exposed, it's a dead end." Years ago, there were some intelligence operatives stationed in King City from Catellon, but after the Crescent Order incident, the Combat Department swiftly acted. They not only eradicated the Crescent Order's shells but also targeted operatives from various countries. Inserting operatives into King City has become exceedingly difficult!Smith furrowed his brow. "Are we left with no other options? I can manage to retrieve funds from the GHO, but what about Naturia?""We can't make it easy for them.""Let's keep the King City folks hanging for a few days. Let's see if they'll come to us on their own."With that, he reclined in his chair as if to rest, prompting Leroy to quickly depart.-Meanwhile, in the car.Ruth fumed. "Is Smith a rabbit? He never showed up!" Without Smith, they couldn't c
Ruth never explained herself.-Early in the morning, everyone rushed to the GI Group once again.When Leroy managed to get through to Sylvia's phone last night, he knew that the GI Group had lost in the first confrontation. Although the loss wasn't complete, they still lost. The GI Group couldn't sit still anymore.Leroy warmly welcomed everyone into the company.As they sat down in the conference room, Sylvia frowned. "Mr. Domus, where is your sincerity? We're sitting here, but where are your representatives?"When Sylvia mentioned "your representatives", she naturally meant Smith.Leroy quickly smiled. "Ms. Williams, our CEO has some urgent matters to attend to. Let me apologize on behalf of everyone here. Please wait a moment! Just a moment!"Smith still hadn't arrived, even after 15 minutes.Leroy noticed Sylvia growing slightly displeased and promptly said, "Ms. Williams, please wait here. Allow me to check on our CEO's whereabouts."As Leroy left, Ruth snorted coldly.
Every time they mobilized, Ruth needed to gather some forces to be ready for immediate support.There was a feeling of being played!Suddenly, her expression changed, and she pointed at Sylvia. "It wouldn't be that Leroy fellow has recognized you, right?"In the business circle, Sylvia was a prominent figure. As the Innova Group's former CEO, leading the company to such brilliant achievements, it was hard not to be famous!Ruth believed that Leroy or Smith must have recognized Sylvia, hence the precautions!"Not likely," Sylvia said. "Even if they did recognize me, it doesn't matter. My relationship with the Innova Group is contractual. I am essentially a professional manager. Moreover, I left the Innova Group over a year ago, having demonstrated the necessary capabilities."Now, stepping in to take over the mess at the Oberdeens also makes sense because of my abilities."Sylvia was becoming increasingly confident, but she made sense. The GI Group and Smith would certainly care
"Dinner?" Ruth seemed to see through Smith's plan. "I suspect this is not merely a dinner invitation."Typically, celebrations followed successful collaborations. But now, without even a meeting, they were inviting Sylvia to dinner? Was an apology just an excuse?Sylvia nodded. "I feel Smith has ulterior motives. But if we don't go, he might not show up. If we can't catch him now, it will be even harder in the future!""More importantly, capturing Smith will deal a heavy blow to the GI Group. Otherwise, they'll continue developing viruses for years to come. We need to slow them down starting now!" Eric agreed, finding Sylvia's analysis logical."Can't spare the child and miss the wolf!" Eric said, "To prevent any mishaps, I'll place a tracker on you, Ruth. As a woman, you won't raise much suspicion. You'll accompany Sylvia.""If possible, upon encountering Smith, we'll launch the arrest operation immediately."The preliminary plan had taken shape.-In the afternoon, the Combat
Smith had taken extensive precautions, not only at the entrance but also in the surrounding shadows where hidden individuals lurked.A sudden attack without prior knowledge of the situation would undoubtedly result in significant losses. In addition to the exterior defenses, there were over a dozen people inside the house.Turning to the captain, Eric instructed, "Immediately devise a battle plan. With so many defenses, silently taking Smith away is impossible. There will undoubtedly be a fierce battle. Establish the evacuation route."As Eric conveyed his orders, he received a message from Sylvia—she and Ruth had sighted Smith. Their appearance confirmed his presence, signaling that the capture plan could proceed.Exhaling deeply, Eric remarked, "Truly cunning as a fox! After all the twists and turns, we will finally take action!"He couldn't help but feel that Smith was excessively cunning, suggesting that impatience might have led to giving up.-Meanwhile, inside the house.
Upon receiving Eric's message, Sylvia suddenly burst into laughter, her beauty accentuated by the smile.She glanced at Smith, saying, "Mr. Smith, I understand now. Previously, I thought you were honorable men, but it turns out you are just a bunch of filthy perverts. Using my private photos to threaten me? Do you think I would comply?"With Eric already taking action, she had no more reservations.Smith also chuckled. "Hahaha! Ms. Williams, now that you're here, do you think you can still have things your way?"Private photos? What use do they have? I'll have a few of my men accompany you for a night's rest! If you refuse to obey our orders in the future, I will ruin your reputation!"He clapped his hands, and several men emerged from another room, their faces adorned with lecherous smiles.Leroy got excited immediately, practically drooling. "Boss, I'm good at this! Should I go first?"Smith glanced at him, saying nonchalantly, "No rush, your turn will come. Subdue these two w
The shadow warrior's face twisted in alarm as he took several steps back. With a swift motion, he drew a razor-sharp curved blade from his waist.This was the shadow warrior's ultimate trump card, his last resort. They were skilled in covert operations, but even more so in combat. Compared to fleeing, their prowess in hand-to-hand combat was unparalleled.Unfortunately, he encountered Eric.There was little to discuss—they engaged directly.-Elsewhere, Ruth and Sylvia teamed up to incapacitate everyone except Leroy and Smith. Leroy trembled. He initially harbored lustful thoughts toward these two women. Now, faced with this situation, fear gripped him.None of those bodyguards stood a chance against these two women!"Boss... what do we do next?" His voice trembled. "I'm scared."Ironically, even at this moment, he remained oblivious to Sylvia and Ruth's intentions. He thought Smith intended to use force, and the two women were merely resisting.Smith flexed his muscles. "Ju
Eric had arrived!In his grasp was the transcendent shadow warrior.In Smith's eyes, this scene was astonishing—even the transcendent shadow warrior had been slain!Smith's heart sank to the depths.Tonight, he had set up an ironclad net there, even summoning a transcendent shadow warrior, leaving no room for error. Yet, the transcendent shadow warrior had been killed!Considering the whole of Catellon, such experts were few and far between.Eric tossed aside the transcendent shadow warrior, not even bothering to learn his name. It didn't matter. To him, a transcendent shadow warrior was no different from a weakling."You all leave first!" Eric declared, "The guy I just killed mentioned they've already alerted the authorities and mobilized the military. You all evacuate first."He pointed at Smith. "I'll bring this guy along and catch up later. Ruth, initiate the backup plan!"The entire plan had reached its critical moment—the women would leave first!Sylvia didn't hesitate,
