The first and second attempts were completely different.

Tyson was in awe, his mouth slightly agape. "That's the energy burst! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that someone could unleash an energy burst in their second attempt! Sylvia, you've found a treasure!"

Tyson was ecstatic. As a prominent figure in the Salt City martial arts world, he knew exactly what was happening with Eric. Perhaps in 10 years, he would revolutionize the entire martial arts world!

Sylvia grinned. "Then, you'll need to put more effort into nurturing him properly, Master."

After that, she turned and looked at Eric. He shone like a bright star, and his potential was not yet fully tapped.

As Eric approached the end of his practice, he executed a palm strike, aiming it at a tree with a bowl-sized trunk. Although he didn't shatter it, he managed to split the tree trunk. Such a forceful strike on a person would cause either a fatal injury or serious harm.

"Master, how about a few rounds

    Eric hadn't seen David since their encounter at the entrance of Williams Corp.Westman Technology had gone bankrupt, and most of its employees had shifted to Innova Tech. Innova was a fair employer, offering regular commission structures and weekends and holidays off. For former Westman employees, joining Innova felt like paradise.Eric could not understand what threat David still posed.Big Sis said, "David has gone back to his old ways. I heard from others that he has recently gathered a group of henchmen, probably around 20-something of them. I'm worried he might seek revenge against you."After all, David's current situation resulted from Eric's actions. He had taken Big Sis to Westman Technology to expose him, which caused him to lose his biggest backer. Subsequently, he secured a project with Williams Corp, which led to David embarrassing himself in front of his peers and, ultimately, the downfall of Westman Technology.There was no way David would not harbor any resentment

    Richard clenched his jaw, struggling to find the right words. He had arrived with anger, determined to confront Eric and Sylvia. He knew Jared's arrest had happened because the truth had surfaced. Eric held the key to Jared's fate now, but Richard couldn't plead.After a prolonged internal struggle, he finally sighed and lowered his head. "Eric, we weren't good to you in the past, and I'm here to apologize. We're deeply sorry for our actions, and we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us. Please, don't make this harder than it already is."Eric chuckled and replied, "Uncle Richard, we bear no grudges. We've forgiven you for those false accusations online. Besides, you've compensated us generously. We'll handle the rest ourselves, so don't worry. If you have nothing else, you can go, Uncle Richard."Richard was rendered speechless. He hadn't been referring to the online smears when he came here. Those were minor issues compared to what had happened to Jared. But he couldn't

    No matter what they did, they remained his brothers.Just as Eric was about to tell Blake what had occurred, his phone abruptly rang.After picking up, the officer in charge briefed him on the progress of the case. A deep sigh escaped him upon hearing the news. This turn of events had genuinely surprised him.Seeing everyone's gaze upon him, Eric explained, "I just received a call from the police. They found Uncle Jared's fingerprints on the car that struck Dad. He confessed to everything after being arrested."The car he used to hit Dad was provided by Kayden, who operates a used car business in the city. He also supplied the car that caused our accident. Both car accidents were planned by Uncle Richard and carried out by Uncle Jared."Blake and Elly were filled with disappointment.Eric continued. "The police also inquired about their motive. They claimed they had received news long ago that our family's land would be expropriated. I'm adopted, so they intended to use that as a

    Blake only knew that Eric had borrowed 10,000 dollars, but he had no idea about the hospital expenses.Eric glanced at Sylvia, uncertain about the exact hospital costs.Sylvia replied, "Including the 10,000 dollars you paid, the total expenses were around 40,000 dollars."Blake was shocked by the amount. However, private hospital wards were costly compared to an ICU. Considering over 20 days of hospitalization, the 40,000 dollars expenses seemed reasonable.Regaining his composure, Blake nodded and said, "If you want us to drop the charges, give us 300,000 dollars.""What?" Although Gavin had a seven-figure salary, coming up with 300,000 dollars was still a significant challenge. "Uncle Blake, can we negotiate a lower amount?"Blake chuckled and replied coldly, "Are we at a market? There is no room for negotiation. 300,000 dollars, not a cent less! How the court decides is their problem!"They would have asked for the medical expenses if Gavin hadn't approached them. Blake deman

    Elly was on the verge of searching for Max when Andy unexpectedly appeared. He had 'coincidentally' passed by after work. Seeing Elly in a rush, he asked, "Elly, what's happening? Why the hurry?""Craig took Max without letting me know. I don't know their whereabouts, so I'm off to find them," Elly replied as she hopped into her car."I'll come with you!" Andy took the passenger seat without hesitation.Before long, they arrived at Craig's sister's house. Since Craig had lost everything, Elly figured he might be at Emily's place.Emily opened the door and displayed clear displeasure upon seeing Elly."Why are you here?!" She glanced at Andy, thinking Craig and Elly might have reconciled if he hadn't shown up."Emily, did Craig bring Max here? I can't reach him on his phone," Elly asked."He hasn't been here!" Emily stated before slamming the door shut.Elly felt so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. If Craig couldn't even take care of himself, how could he look after Max

    Irvin had warned Misty several times that Brook was unreliable.-After sending the photos to alert his men about Craig and Max, Brook headed to the police station, where he found Eric and Sylvia."Sylvia, what's the situation?" Brook asked as he approached them."They're saying this doesn't count as a missing person's case, so they can't take any action," she replied."Fuck!" Brook cursed and dialed Sergeant Robert Wilson."Sergeant Wilson, it's Brook. My brother-in-law's nephew has been missing for hours. Can we file a report? If you're not going to help, I'll handle it my way!"When Eric heard the term "my brother-in-law," he was taken aback, but the Williams siblings didn't notice his reaction.The poor Sergeant Wilson was still working overtime. Nonetheless, he rushed over upon receiving the call. Although he didn't catch Brook in any suspicious situation, Brook tended to bend the rules. If people on the streets began searching high and low, it might give the impression th

    Brook swiftly dialed his crew and instructed them to head over to Sunshine Gardens to find Craig.Meanwhile, Eric hurriedly informed Elly and Andy that Craig might still be in the city."Sunshine Gardens? Emily, his sister, lives there!" Elly exclaimed. "Hold on! Craig is calling!"Once the call ended, Eric, Sylvia, and Brook rushed to Sunshine Gardens.Sergeant Wilson was worried that Brook might act recklessly, so he tagged along.-In Sunshine Gardens, at Emily's house.Craig yelled into the phone, "Give me 10,000 dollars, Elly, and I'll release Max! Otherwise, you'll never see him again!" He reeked of alcohol and looked disheveled.Max cried from another room, but Craig paid him no attention as he awaited Elly's response."Alright! But promise to stay away from the boys, Craig!" Elly sobbed. "I don't want them to know they have a father like you.""I want the money tonight!" Craig demanded menacingly.He smirked after hanging up.Emily sat quietly beside him while he re

    Sylvia glanced at the room Max was pointing at.Emily immediately blocked her, saying, "What are you trying to do? My son is already asleep!"Sylvia snorted coldly, then looked at Max. It was only then she noticed scratch marks on his neck."Would you like a hug, Max?" Sylvia put on a sweet and gentle smile.Max opened his arms, and she embraced him tightly. She then unbuttoned his collar, revealing more scratch marks. Her expression grew grim. She sat on the couch and helped him remove his clothes. To everyone's astonishment, his body was also marked with numerous scratches."Who did this? Who could've done such a thing?" Sylvia sobbed.Seeing Sylvia in tears, Brook grabbed Craig. "You scum! Who's responsible?"He seethed with anger, yearning to tear Craig apart.Craig glanced at Max, his eyes devoid of emotion as he silently shook his head.Sylvia wiped her tears and turned to Robert. "Sergeant Wilson, how should we handle this? I'm waiting for your response."With that, sh

    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
