The danger of the virus was evident to Pierce from the situation abroad. The thought of it spreading in King City was unimaginable.

Once the personnel were in place, the primary task, aside from controlling the virus's spread, was to investigate its origin.

After some probing, everyone felt something was amiss. Typically, the spread of a virus was due to the movement of people. However, this neighborhood had no outsiders. Even the few strangers who had entered the neighborhood were found not to carry the Haevon virus.

"This is very strange," Pierce said, furrowing his brow. "This neighborhood lacks the conditions for the virus to spread, yet it has the first infected person. None of the residents have been to King City Airport. How did the virus get here?"

He was deeply worried. If they could trace who brought the virus to this neighborhood, everything would be easier to manage. The worst-case scenario was finding nothing, with the virus appearing inexplicably. Could anything be mo

    Pierce had taken Ruth's words to heart. The inability to trace the infection source in this residential area was truly baffling. Who knew if other areas would face the same issue?But then, an even more pressing matter arose.Since the outbreak of the Haevon virus abroad, Pierce had been coordinating with relevant departments to bring back citizens from overseas. The process was orderly and smooth, but due to logistical and other constraints, not everyone had been evacuated yet. It was an almost impossible task.Under these circumstances, a new problem emerged. A group of students stranded in Haevon got infected.When it rained, it poured!Those stationed in Haevon from Naturia had no solution and notified the authorities back home. The news swiftly reached Pierce. The handling of the virus outbreak was entirely the responsibility of the Combat Department, with other departments assisting. Such a significant issue was, of course, reported immediately to Pierce.Since the Haevon

    The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant.Despite knowing by now that disinfectant did not affect the virus, it was perhaps for peace of mind that Haevon Airport was still being regularly sanitized.Two groups of people were waiting at the airport. One group, stationed in Haevon from Naturia, was on the phone notifying their homeland, while the other group belonged to the notorious Stealthbane.Stealthbane's men knew that Eric was coming, and both Eric and Stealthbane had arrived in Haevon almost simultaneously.As the plane landed, this once bustling international metropolis, one of the busiest and most prosperous in the world, now felt eerily dead.Who knew how many had perished there?Stepping off the plane, Eric sniffed the air, detecting the pervasive scent of death.Ruth sighed and said, "It seems the situation is far worse than we imagined..."Scanning the area, they saw planes parked at the airport, some of which had started to rust from neglect. This was a clea

    Even some of the grandmasters under his command had perished.Eric gave an awkward laugh. "With me here, no one will die. Let's first head to Haevon University to assess the situation!"Stealthbane nodded repeatedly.The group departed from the airport. Initially, they could have taken the outer highway to Haevon University, but Ruth suggested they first take a look at the city center to see what the epicenter of the virus outbreak looked like now.Before the outbreak, the city center of Haevon was incredibly crowded, but now the streets were utterly deserted. All the doors were tightly shut. Not a soul was in sight.Stealthbane swallowed hard. "Haevon has millions of residents. Could they really all be dead?" After the outbreak, he had fled and hadn’t inquired about the situation in Haevon from his people.Bryan sighed. "This is truly a living hell. I never believed I would witness a living hell in this era, but now I do. Human life is valued less than that of animals."The r

    After arriving at the temporary command post, Eric and Ruth immediately began their work. There were quite a few international students from Naturia, but many had already been evacuated in the early stages, leaving only about 20 remaining. These students were all holed up in their dormitory, too scared to venture outside.Bryan contacted the university's administration, and someone was soon sent to coordinate.For the staff at Haevon University, the students' departure was a relief. They were already overwhelmed and had no means of dealing with such a virus. Despite Haevon University having a robust medical faculty, they were helpless against this outbreak.The temporary command center was not far from the students' dormitory. Everything was meticulously arranged.Soon, Eric saw the first infected student in the group. His condition was dire, and despite taking various medications, there was no improvement. Another student in the same dormitory also showed signs of infection.Th

    Eric raised his hand and said, "Mr. Dell, don't worry. I have confidence. Ruth, ask our people to bring the vaccine."Ruth nodded and went to make the arrangements.Eric then turned his gaze to the 22 exchange students, all in their 20s, brimming with youthful energy. Their lives were destined to be remarkable, and they shouldn't be cut short by a mere virus.Looking at them, Eric spoke. "This virus is terrifying and has a high fatality rate, but everything has a nemesis. Just because other countries can't handle it doesn't mean we can't!"I need everyone to stay here for one more week at most. Once you all recover, I'll arrange for you to return home."The students were puzzled. They didn't know who Eric was to make such bold claims. Hadn't nearly everyone in Haevon died?Aware of their doubts, Eric explained, "Naturia can deal with this virus. If any of you are from King City, you can contact your families. They should know by now that we can cure this illness."My purpose her

    Eric was unaware that the world's wealthiest individuals were heading to Haevon.He glanced at Stealthbane and asked, "Are you certain about this information?"Stealthbane nodded. "Absolutely! I know their whereabouts like the back of my hand! I always know where they are!"I just received word that several prominent tycoons have already arrived in Haevon. I don't think they're here for sightseeing. We need to grab one or two of them for questioning."A plan was already forming in Eric's mind. There was no need to waste time investigating why the tycoons were in Haevon. Capturing one and interrogating them would suffice.Eric found the situation peculiar. Globally, Haevon was one of the most dangerous places, and the wealthy were notoriously cautious about their lives. Why would they risk coming to Haevon?It made no sense.Eric called out. "Ruth, get in touch with Big Boss and find out if any of our domestic tycoons are headed this way. This whole situation seems odd."Ruth qu

    The blood-curdling scream was loud enough to almost lift the ceiling. Stealthbane, quick as lightning, clamped a hand over the tycoon's mouth."I stabbed you at random this time!" he snarled. "If you don't start talking, my next stab will sever an artery, and you'll watch yourself bleed out slowly. Think carefully. Are you really here for tourism?"Sweat drenched the tycoon's forehead as he nodded furiously. Only then did Stealthbane remove his hand.Panting with fear, the tycoon stammered, "I-I'll talk! I'm here to seek refuge!""Refuge?" Stealthbane laughed harshly. "Do you take me for a fool? Look at me! Do I look like an idiot to you? Do you really expect me to believe that anyone would come to the most dangerous place in the world for refuge?"The tycoon was nearly in tears. "Good sir, I swear I'm telling the truth! Ten years ago, they started building a refuge here called the Ark of the Apocalypse. Many tycoons from around the world know about it!"Stealthbane, infuriated,

    Stealthbane didn't know the answer to the question.He scratched his head and said, "If you want to find out where the Ark is, it's simple! I'll send someone to investigate immediately! It must be in Haevon!"He dispatched his team.Haevon had numerous waterways, and if the Ark was meant to accommodate a large number of people, it had to be enormous—at least bigger than a cruise ship.To Stealthbane, the so-called Ark should be a ship. If they could lock down the waterways of Haevon, they would certainly find it.He wasted no time and got to work.Eric wasn't particularly concerned about the Ark. Moreover, the so-called Ark didn't necessarily have to be a ship. The two tycoons had come to Haevon seeking refuge, which implied that the Ark might be a sanctuary.Currently, Eric was more concerned about when the foreign students at Haevon University could return to Naturia. They would have to wait until they had fully recovered.-That night, Eric called Sylvia. Due to the time di

    In terms of innate talent, Eric was unparalleled, having reached the pinnacle of martial arts. With a single punch, he sent the 'God' flying."Good!" Stealthbane shouted with excitement.The ultimate enemy had finally been defeated, bringing peace to the world. Eric sighed in relief.However, in the next moment, the 'God' stood up again. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he revealed a bloodthirsty smile. "You have successfully enraged me!"Everyone braced for a potential massacre, but instead, the enemy turned and fled.Could Eric let him escape?"Chase him!" Stealthbane commanded.Allowing this foe to escape would spell endless trouble.A group of people pursued the enemy, who soon reappeared clad in iron armor."Not seen this before, have you?" The 'God' seemed to have recovered somewhat. "Did you think I only research viruses? Wrong!

    The sturdy floor lay in utter disarray.In desperation, Ruth shouted, "Eric, don't give him any more chances! Finish him off swiftly, or we'll face endless trouble!"Eric was well aware of this logic. As he fought, he said, "He's incredibly strong. Taking him down quickly isn't possible! We must fight to the death!"Eric had never feared battle. Besides, this might very well be his final fight.Their fists clashed fiercely.The 'God' also noticed that Eric was growing more formidable as the battle progressed."How do you have so much strength? Wouldn't it be better if we joined forces to control the world? We could have anything we desire!"All the world's wealth, women, and resources would be ours to enjoy. Why won't you listen to reason?" he roared.Eric's momentum didn't falter. "I don't share your grand ambitions. I just want a simple life with a job that pays 1,000 dollars a month and a warm home with my wife and kids. But you, you've disturbed my peace!"The 'God' was fu

    The 'God' grew more courageous as the battle raged on, causing Stealthbane to worry incessantly.In another high-stakes clash, Eric and his opponent both retreated. Eric sensed his opponent's growing strength, finding it rather peculiar.The 'God' clenched his fist. "I must thank you! My techniques were slightly incomplete, but I've managed to fill the gaps through this battle!"Eric marveled at his opponent's genius. To mend something incomplete was indeed a rare talent.Despite Eric training with the complete manual, he could only match the 'God' blow for blow. This person was terrifying!The opponent's confidence soared. Although Eric had trained with the full manual, the 'God' felt his innate talent far surpassed Eric's. If he could match Eric with an incomplete manual, now that he had perfected it, wouldn't he be unbeatable?"I thought you had potential and considered inviting you to share this world with me," the 'God' said, his tone turning icy. "But now, I see it's unnece

    Stealthbane even felt that Eric might not be a match for the "God."The power was overwhelming.The terrifying aura was enough to crush everything. To an ordinary person, this was a real deity—the strength possessed had already transcended human limits.Eric made his move with a burst of speed. The clash of their fists created a thunderous explosion, and the sound was so intense that Stealthbane felt his eardrums might shatter.This was a battle of the highest caliber, one that even a legend like Stealthbane could not hope to join.Seeing the two evenly matched, Stealthbane sighed in relief. At least there was a chance that the strongest combatants were neutralizing each other. The outcome was still uncertain.Eric shook his aching fist, his expression grave. The opponent's strength was as he had anticipated. If the ultimate boss of the Luminous did not possess such combat power, it would be absurd.Clearly, this "God" had also gauged Eric's strength.He extended a hand toward

    Stealthbane knew that the figure facing them must be the ultimate leader of the Luminous.Suddenly, he no longer wanted to die. If he could hold on just a little longer, it would all be over."Mr. Johnson, these people don't seem ordinary. Could that leader be the ultimate figure of the Luminous? Are we about to complete the game?" he whispered.To him, this mission to the Ark felt like a game: defeat the final boss, and victory is achieved."If I'm not mistaken, it should be. This person gives me... a sense of danger," Eric said.Upon hearing this, Stealthbane felt reassured.Just a sense? That meant the problem wasn't too grave!The leader on the opposite side turned to Eric. "I didn't expect you to make it this far. I underestimated your strength, believing my Ark was impregnable, that no enemy could breach it. But why are you so persistent? Why such determination?"He suddenly screamed in a fit of hysteria, "I have so many people! Such a grand scheme! It has all succeeded!

    Brent shouted desperately, "After you get on your knees, they'll kill you all, and we won't survive either! Kill them! Kill them all!"He understood the situation with stark clarity. Kneeling meant certain death. If they had to die anyway, fighting back would be their only chance of survival.Eric sighed. "Mr. Rogers, in the end, it was we who implicated you. But this place must be eradicated, and the Luminous must be destroyed as well! Everyone, attack!"As the battle commenced, the masked man immediately struck Brent with a punch.Eric charged in. "Die!"He knew that Brent was unlikely to survive. This punch was his way of avenging Brent.The masked man spun around, trying to block Eric's punch. But the speed of the blow was too much—the gust of wind from the punch arrived before the fist did.It was an instant kill.The masked man had no time to react before Eric's punch collided with his chest. The terrifying force shattered the mask on the man's face, revealing an unfamili

    Stealthbane was blinded by rage. He was killing anyone in sight, his fury unrelenting. They had ventured deep into enemy territory, where every encounter seemed to be with an adversary.Eric and his team from the Combat Department showed no mercy.Yet even Stealthbane's resolve was wearing thin."I can't kill them all! It feels like every master in the world is concentrated here!" he shouted in frustration.He felt the number of people he had brought was insufficient. If he had brought a few thousand more, he might have been able to overrun the place.Stealthbane was overwhelmed by the sheer horror of their situation. Fortunately, they had arrived. If anyone else had come, they would have met their end here.The numbers of the masters seemed endless."Damn it!" Stealthbane cursed angrily. "There are too many of them, and they're all exceptionally powerful. What kind of game is this?"He was tempted to retreat, but where could he go?Eric sent an enemy flying, pushing forward

    "I was opposed to coming in from the start, but as you all know, the Rogers family is extremely complex. If we hadn't entered, I might have ended up dead. At least if the virus isn't a threat, that's something!" Brent poured himself a cup of coffee and continued. "These people are ruthless! They want to kill everyone outside the Ark and establish a new order, managed by a select few. It's insane!"You don't need to tell me—I know you're here to kill them."He then pulled a small token from his pocket. "This is our Rogers family's privilege here. It allows us to move freely between different levels. With this, you can go anywhere!"Stealthbane grabbed it eagerly. "Why didn't you mention this earlier? Things will go much smoother with this!"Brent sighed. "Once you've handled everything, could you take me out with you? I really don't want to stay in this dreadful place any longer.""Sure!" Eric nodded. "We'll definitely call you when we leave. For now, we're heading out."Brent e

    Everything was ready, but they couldn't just walk in.Ruth instructed the Combat Department to conduct a three-day intensive training for everyone, focusing on coordinated combat.-After three days, the forces led by Stealthbane moved out, first dismantling the outer defenses of the Ark. This was their specialty!A large group of several hundred arrived in front of the Ark's entrance. At first glance, it resembled a mountain.Jack scratched his head and said, "Is this the gate? I don't see any door."The Holy Templar's people arrived as well. St. Pius said, "Everyone, don't rush. Wait for two minutes. Once the gate opens, we need to get in quickly. I have other plans inside, but once we're in, it's going to be a life-or-death battle! No one should show any mercy!"Stealthbane flexed his fists and replied, "Do I look like a good guy to you? Just watch me deal with them!"No sooner had he spoken than there was a tremendous roar. The ground shook, and the door of the Ark swung
