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,
"Oh no!" After a brief sprint, the complexion Eric's subordinatw changed abruptly. "Lieutenant General Johnson, there's a roadblock ahead. They're ready to intercept us!""Change the route!" Eric didn't hesitate.In moments like these, time was of the essence. A delay of a few seconds could easily result in an interception by the Catellonian authorities and forces.Obviously, that transcendent shadow warrior held terrifying influence within Catellon, capable of mobilizing such forces.Eric dialed Sylvia's number, relieved to hear that they had already set sail. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had prepared for the worst."Listen up!" He addressed his subordinate, "Smith has completely lost his combat capabilities. If we can't shake them off later, I'll create an opportunity. You take Smith and head out to the sea. Make sure to get him onto our warship!"The subordinate knew just how important Smith was. He simply nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.-
"Lieutenant General Johnson, steady the course a bit, I'm going to use laser guidance for the strike," said his subordinate.Upon hearing this, Eric slowed down the pace. Several missiles flew past overhead, causing chaos among the pursuers behind."Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" shouted his subordinate, taking over Eric's position.With a few missiles launched, both the blockade and the pursuers disappeared.Eric and his companion swiftly reached the dock and boarded a speedboat, racing toward the depths of the ocean.Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief. With friendly warships patrolling the waters, they were essentially safe at sea.Before long, they could see escort helicopters and flares fired from the warship.Eric and his subordinate boarded with Smith. He handed Smith over to the crew on the warship, saying, "This guy has two broken ribs, but no internal injuries. Treat him and make sure to secure him tightly!"Smith was a formidable fighter. Although he couldn't mat
"This matter needs a thorough explanation from you, or I'll dismiss you from your position!" The argument erupted immediately.Pierce remained silent.Those on his side spoke up. "Dismiss him? Do you have the authority? Do you not know who appointed Pierce as the General of the Combat Department? It's not within your jurisdiction to remove him!""You— Someone pointed at Pierce, their finger trembling, "13 cruise missiles! Misfire? How could there be so many misfires? This is tantamount to declaring war! We're striving for economic development, can we afford a war? Do we have enough resources for that?!"Pierce remained silent, not bothering to engage in the argument. He knew who stood with him and who opposed him. He wouldn't target those with dissenting opinions.After all, in a large team, diverse perspectives were essential. Contradictory views were necessary for making the most informed decisions. If a team only had one voice, it would be tantamount to dictatorship. And di
As silence engulfed the room, Pierce spoke up. "I know some folks back home might have weak spines, some of you might even be among them! But in our department, we can't afford to be weak!"Of course, I consider spinelessness a disease. Luckily, we have excellent doctors in our department. Perhaps they can cure your weak spines. Whoever wants treatment, speak up. I'll ensure it happens!"A chill ran down someone's spine!Was that even a cure? Who dared to speak up for treatment?!Someone immediately chimed in. "Heh, General Fischer is mighty, boosting our national pride!" Although they might have wanted to take down Pierce, he wasn't someone they could handle. In fact, he had the power to turn the tables on them!Glancing at the time, Pierce remarked, "It's late, everyone should rest. You don't need to worry about the cruise missiles' launch. We will handle this matter with Catellon."People started to rise.Now they understood why Pierce had ordered the cruise missile's launc
