Larry rolled on the ground several times, spitting out a mouthful of blood before scrambling to his feet and fleeing.If he knew from the start Eric was the one who had killed the transcendent Catellonian shadow warrior, he probably wouldn't have dared to act. Even if he did, he would have planned it meticulously, not recklessly barging in with his men as he did tonight.Matthew pushed back a Pentra grandmater and prepared to pursue Larry."Let him go," Eric shouted. "Don't chase him. He can only go back to the Pentra family—nowhere else!"Matthew halted, beginning to clean up the aftermath. With Larry fleeing, the rest had no courage left. Those who could escape had already fled, and those caught were detained.Eric said, "Matthew, go to the hotel and bring Bryce here. The rest of you, come with me to the Pentra family. Tonight, we settle this!""Yes!" Matthew promptly turned back.At that moment, Ron's phone rang. Oblivious to the chaos outside due to his drunken state, he was
The Pentras' cunning maneuver led Lora into the car, and they rendered her unconscious.In response to Lora's questions, Martha delivered a resounding slap, causing tears to stream down Lora's face."I haven't asked you yet, have I?" Martha coldly remarked. "What's your relationship with the Innova Group? And what about Eric and Sylvia? Let me guess, you're Eric's woman, aren't you?"Lora gritted her teeth. She had hoped for this, yet Eric never paid her any attention. She had come to Westlake City to find Eric. Upon reflection, she believed that love required boldness—one shouldn't retreat just because someone else was married.There was no logic in that.Morality? Compared to love, morality meant nothing. Courageously pursuing love should be praised.Little did she expect that upon arriving in Westlake City, before even meeting Eric or Sylvia's people, she would be knocked unconscious and brought to this unfamiliar place. She thought she might die here.She thought she might d
Martha's temper flared up like wildfire. Why did someone always have to disturb her at critical moments?She shouted, "What is it? If you're bothering me over trivial matters, I'll break your legs!"The person outside was startled. He hurriedly said, "Miss, Mr. Pentra is back, but... the situation isn't too good..."Martha narrowed her eyes. 'The situation isn't too good? Did something happen to Larry too? Haha! It seems luck is on my side. Did the arrogant Larry finally pay the price?'She locked the door, eager to see Larry.When Martha arrived, Larry coughed up a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, she felt delighted.It seemed that Larry was also on the brink of death, right? Good riddance!With him gone, no one in the Pentra family could threaten her anymore. The entire Pentra family would be hers from now on.Joyous occasions lifted her spirits. However, she still pretended to be very concerned, "Daddy, what happened to you? How did you end up like this?"In reality, she was
Martha made a move against Larry, catching them off guard. What surprised them even more was that Martha exposed Larry's shortcomings right in front of so many people.Who could bear such humiliation?They knew that after tonight, the Pentra family's situation would change once again. It changed too darn fast. Hadn't it only been a few days since Bryce's death? Were these shameless uncle and niece duo going to escalate things even further?Martha's expression suddenly turned icy cold. "Larry, it seems like you're already at your wit's end. Go accompany Bryce and Mark! The three of you can keep each other company in hell!"With that, she picked up a piece of broken glass from the coffee table, intending to put an end to Larry. She moved closer to him while Larry stared at her intently."Sending you on your way!" Martha didn't waste any more time. She knew that the night was long and full of terrors, and many villains met their end due to excessive chatter.However, in the game of
"A woman?"Eric furrowed his brow. He knew Martha was a deviant who swung both ways—men and women alike were not safe from her hands."Go ask her where she took the person. Also, Mr. Dede, you can leave for now. I'm sure the folks from the Pentra family have already returned."The Pentras could only watch as John and a few other distributors left under their noses. No one dared to make a move.Larry chuckled, saying, "Mr. Johnson, we've released the captives. Shouldn't your grudge with the Pentra family end here?""As for Martha's nonsense, will you listen to what this woman has to say?"Eric remained silent.Vince approached and grabbed Martha. "Speak! Where did you take the woman?"Martha glared at Vince. She knew the Pentra family's fate was sealed. It seemed Larry didn't dare to challenge Eric.Lora was her last card. Could she really reveal it to Eric and hope to get away?"Hell! Quite resilient!"As Martha remained silent, Vince's patience wore thin, and he slapped her
The clash of fists reverberated with a crisp crack, eliciting a gasp as the individual was sent flying backward, landing heavily beside Larry.Larry's gaze fell upon the scene, and he couldn't help but inhale sharply. The man's fist had vanished, leaving only a bare stump!It was terrifying. Such a result from a clash of fists was unimaginable."Capture him! Death to those who resist!" Eric's voice was filled with rage. "The Pentra family has conspired with the Luminous! Excellent! Just based on this, your family's demise won't be enough!"Larry didn't even struggle. He knew that any resistance would lead to certain death.The man remarked grimly, "Since you know we're affiliated with the Luminous, why not let us go? Otherwise, you'll find yourself with nowhere to bury your corpse!"Eric chuckled. "Is the Luminous that formidable? While in Catellon, I killed a transcendent Catellonian shadow warrior of the Luminous, in Dortmund City, I eliminated a significant figure of the Erwes
The sharp command startled Martha. But when she saw Bryce, she was even more frightened out of her wits!The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she kept stepping back. "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost? Who are you?!"She clutched her head, hysterical.The appearance of Bryce had greatly frightened her. She had assumed Bryce had long been dead. After eliminating Larry, the Pentra family would be hers. But she hadn't expected Bryce to be alive and well.This meant her original plan had completely failed. She wasn't the one controlling the situation.Larry sighed too. In the end, he had miscalculated. None of his moves had succeeded. Bryce wasn't killed, nor were the people of the Innova Group.With Eric's current identity as the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department and his invincible combat power, the Pentra family lost completely. The people from the Combat Department quickly brought Lora over, fearing Martha's psychotic outbreak and violence. She couldn't
"I'll check first," Pierce said.The information the Combat Department had on aristocratic families was not extensive. At least, not specific enough. Many details were still unknown.Take the Pentra family, for example—among the information Pierce had had on them, Bryce was a legend, but the name of the other legend remained elusive.-Eric awaited news.Before that, he had to return to Salt City. With the collapse of the Pentra family, the affairs in Westlake City had come to an end.John and other distributors came once again to thank Eric and Sylvia, as well as the Innova Group, escorting them to the airport.-In Salt City, Eric commenced comprehensive treatment for Vince's injuries. Despite years of martial arts practice, Vince had never experienced injuries as severe as this, aside from previously damaged tendons and bones. Now, with a broken arm added to the list, Eric's medical expertise came into play. Resetting bones proved to be a manageable task for him—it merely ne
