"Mr. Orlando!" Paxton and Kayden turned around. When they saw Eric, they were stunned. "Why are you here?" Paxton asked. They had met a few times, and Paxton secretly admired Eric. After all, with a face full of scars, he dared to establish the Innova Group and pose a significant threat to the three major international giants.Eric shrugged. "Why am I here? I was entrusted to hold the fort. Is Shadow not here yet?"He glanced at Paxton's group but did not spot Shadow. "You know Shadow? And who entrusted you?" Paxton asked.He did not know how an insignificant person like Eric knew about Shadow.Before he could make sense of the situation, Ruth came out and said, "Mr. Orlando, of course, he was entrusted by me! It's such a pity that Shadow didn't show up. However, even if he did show up tonight, there's nothing he could do either!"Paxton was taken aback again when he saw Ruth. "You seem confused," Ruth said. "Paxton Orlando, Kayden Orlando, it seems you two are the two C
Soon, Eric caught up with Kayden.Seeing there was no escape, Kayden stopped running and turned to Eric. "Mr. Johnson, we barely know each other. Why must you do this to us?"He had no idea of how powerful Eric was, so he did not dare to attack him recklessly. "Well, you're right," Eric said, "However, I'm from the Combat Department, so I have the responsibility to arrest you.""You're from the Combat Department, too?" Kayden was stunned. "Yes, I'm Lieutenant General Johnson." "Lieutenant General?" Kayden scoffed. "Let me see if you're worthy of that title or not!" After that, he charged at Eric. They had made the wrong decision tonight. There was a high chance that all of them would be arrested. As Kayden drew near, Eric extended his hands and delivered a forceful punch toward Kayden's fist.In the next moment, a loud crack echoed as Kayden was sent flying by Eric's punch, landing several meters away. He spat out blood, his face filled with horror as he looked at his def
"Where's my brother?" Paxton glared at Eric, anger ready to erupt.They had made a grave mistake tonight. He did not expect the Combat Department and Ruth to have laid a trap for them. "Your brother? Well, he couldn't even withstand a punch from me. So where do you think he is now?" Eric said nonchalantly.Paxton's face paled with fright when he heard that Kayden could not even withstand a punch from Eric.He found it difficult to believe, but the fact that Eric was there instead of Kayden meant that Eric was telling the truth. Looking at Eric dejectedly, he asked, "Aren't you the CIO of the Innova Group? How can you be so strong?""Yeah, you're right," Eric replied. "But I'm not only the co-founder and CIO of the Innova Group. I'm also the Lieutenant General of the Combat Department and Sylvia's husband."Paxton was at a loss. He did not expect Eric to have so many identities. However, he now noticed that Eric would always be by Sylvia's side wherever she went. However, what
Eric, Sylvia, and Mell rushed to King City with some documents early the next morning.However, upon reaching their destination, they found it strangely deserted, with only the receptionist appearing half-asleep.Sylvia approached the reception and said, "Hello. We're from the Innova Group and need to see Mr. Larson."The receptionist replied, "Mr. Larson isn't here. Come back tomorrow."Sylvia frowned. "We really need to see Mr. Larson. Could you please inform him that we are..."The receptionist finally fully opened her eyes and said impatiently. "How many times do I have to tell you? Mr. Larson isn't here! Come back tomorrow!"Just when Sylvia was about to say something, Eric chimed in. "Sylvia, let's go back first."Sylvia nodded and left with Eric. Once in the car, Mell said, "I knew it. They're doing this on purpose because we're from the Innova Group. I checked some information last night. Mr. Larson only took office recently. He was a senior executive at the Visionary
Eric maintained a positive relationship with the McClains and Watsons, but he had no interactions with the Larsons and the other prominent family."Are we dealing with the Larsons, a top-tier prominent family?" Sylvia's expression turned serious, reflecting her concern. Despite the power of the Hernandez and Montgomery families, they were no match for top-tier prominent families.The thought of facing such a formidable force made Sylvia uneasy. Their reliance for progress now rested on Pierce.Upon learning of Eric and Sylvia's arrival in King City, Grace invited them to dinner, even bringing along their assistant. It was then that Mell realized Eric's influential background.During the meal, Grace inquired about the situation. Discovering the Larsons' potential involvement behind the scenes raised her concerns. While families of the same level might show some restraint, the Larsons were unfamiliar territory for Grace."Don't worry. If I can't handle this, then I will have been li
Next morning, Eric had Sylvia prepare relevant information about the Innova Group, and then they went to find Jimmy Larson."Have you found a solution? It won't be a wasted trip, right?" Sylvia asked.Eric smiled. "Let's go take a look first."Vince and Matthew also followed the three of them.-Soon, they arrived at the relevant department. It was empty, and the receptionist was leisurely playing with his phone, doing nothing.Eric and Sylvia approached. "Hello, we'd like to see Mr. Larson, we have—"Before they could finish speaking, the receptionist didn't even look at them and said impatiently, "Mr. Larson is not here. Come back tomorrow!""Is Mr. Larson really not here?" Eric asked.The receptionist glanced at Eric. "Can't you understand human language?"Eric touched his nose. This receptionist was very arrogant. He pulled Sylvia away, not bothering with the receptionist. After all, he was just a minor character following orders.After leaving, Vince asked, "Sir, he's s
Stroking his chin, Jimmy wore a mocking expression."Well, I might make an exception if you compensate me for a new car and let this woman accompany me." He pointed at Sylvia. "Serve me properly, and I'll let the Innova Group pass!"Before Eric could respond, Vince grabbed Jimmy by the neck and lifted him up like a chick. "Mr. Larson, is this what you're supposed to do in this position?!"Jimmy was too frightened to utter a word. He could tell that these people were ruthless!Eric remained silent as they walked toward the office building. The receptionist had witnessed everything and was now trembling in fear. He had been bold only because Jimmy backed him. Now that Jimmy was restrained, what else could he say?Soon, they arrived at Jimmy's office.Eric gestured for Vince to release Jimmy and said, "Mr. Larson, shall we start working?""Hmph!" Jimmy turned his head away. "You audacious bunch! You will eventually pay the price! The Innova Group is finished!""Keep an eye on him,
A dozen or so burly men crowded Jimmy's office, with a few more lingering outside. Jimmy's reinforcements had arrived, but those behind him were still out of sight."Take them down for me! Break the limbs of the men and leave the women alone!" Jimmy shouted.The men surged toward Eric, Vince, and Matthew. Simultaneously, Vince and Matthew sprang into action.The sounds of fists striking and cries of pain reverberated in the office.Vince and Matthew showed no mercy, shattering the hands or legs of Jimmy's men. Even those who rushed in from outside were swiftly dealt with.In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so men lay defeated. The painful cries diminished as Vince and Matthew threw them out, closing the office door to restore some quiet."You... You... You're not from the Innova Group! The Innova Group doesn't have this kind of strength!" Jimmy stammered in fear.He had some insight after spending many years in King City and being part of the Larson family. The individuals he ha
