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
How powerful could the Larson family become? Could they rival the Combat Department? Eric exuded absolute confidence. Even the formidable Crimson Order, boasting numerous grandmasters, had succumbed to the Combat Department's prowess.Eric's mission involved stirring up the major players in King City with this incident.Eric and Vince stood their ground.Jimmy sensed that he might not escape unscathed unless he contacted the person in charge today. With this realization, he dialed the number in front of Eric and Vince.On the phone, he portrayed himself as greatly wronged.After a brief pause, Matthew returned, subtly nodding at Eric to signal the safe delivery of Sylvia and Mell to the Montgomery family. The group waited in silence.Jimmy dared not speak harshly anymore. The men he had called earlier were still outside, groaning. Their painful cries were faintly audible, making him uneasy.After about half an hour, Jimmy's reinforcements arrived."Mr. Feynman!" Jimmy approac
The arrival of Hector further complicated matters, especially when Vince discreetly informed Eric that the Feynmans ranked among the top four elite families in King City. All four prominent families had emerged: the Watsons, McClains, Larsons, and Feynmans.While Eric had some knowledge about the McClains and Watsons, little was known about the Larsons and Feynmans.The involvement of these two elite families heightened the complexity and danger of the situation. What had begun as a simple targeted plan now entangled both elite families, a worrisome development.Even with only the Larsons involved, Eric might have maintained some confidence. However, the addition of the Feynmans, collaborating with the Visionary Group to establish a department, showcased their formidable influence.This department empowered the Visionary Group and the two elite families to suppress domestic companies effectively. Rising in this industry would prove challenging for any company.Eric grasped the sev
The Visionary Group, the Larsons, and even the Feynmans all sought to hinder the Innova Group through this department, potentially pushing it into bankruptcy. What if the people at the Innova Group seized control of this crucial department?Upon receiving the call, Ruth swiftly took action, and soon people gathered downstairs.Jimmy still gazed at his wrecked Mercedes, his heart heavy with sorrow."Quick! Move that car away! Clear the space immediately!" A voice commanded from behind.A tow truck entered, and Jimmy's Mercedes was hoisted onto the truck amid the rumbling sound."What's going on?" Jimmy finally came back to his senses. "Why are you towing my car? Who are you people?"He distinctly recalled not requesting a tow truck. He wouldn't allow the car to be towed away unless Eric compensated for the damages.A newcomer approached Jimmy. "Mr. Larson, right? From now on, you don't need to come to work. We are taking over this department!"Before Jimmy could respond, two imp
Eric was still in the office when a fierce battle erupted downstairs.Despite being outnumbered, the members of the Combat Department were seasoned fighters, having even slept in piles of corpses during their experiences. There was no need for Eric, Vince, or Matthew to intervene.In just over ten minutes, the incoming group was completely subdued.The leader from the Combat Department had a dark expression. "Lock them up! Interrogate them one by one and dig out the people behind them! Establish a special file! Incorporate all relevant information into the file!"The Combat Department never wasted words. Establishing a special file indicated that a special team had been formed to handle this matter. The Combat Department was determined to continue the investigation.As the Combat Department took the captured individuals away, Eric, Vince, and Matthew left and returned to the Montgomery family.-"I saw the announcement. You manage to control that department?" Sylvia was curious.
"Oh?" Owen raised an eyebrow. "Tell me more.""Although Eric's appearance is intimidating, his background is extraordinary. He is the son of Grace Montgomery, the CEO of Montgomery Corp., and Julius Hernandez, the new head of the Hernandez family."If it were only these two identities, we could easily deal with him. But what makes him truly formidable is that he is the only apprentice of the late Hol. Thornfield. It is said that his medical skills are unparalleled!"Owen's face changed drastically. As a top elite family leader, he was well aware of the power a holistic physician possessed. Such a figure could command a great number of people willing to sacrifice or even lay down their lives. Just securing a favor from a holistic physician was a tremendous gain."I see. No wonder we couldn't neutralize the Innova Group no matter how hard we tried."At this point, Owen still hadn't realized it was the Combat Department taking action. They also hadn't uncovered information about Eric
Hector scanned the surroundings upon entering the living room.Eric sensed Hector's purpose but remained silent.Shortly afterward, Hector stated, "Hol. Johnson, tonight I am here on behalf of the Visionary Group, Larsons, and Feynmans to talk to you.""Go ahead," Eric said indifferently.Eric knew Hector's discussion would likely revolve around the company or the people captured earlier that day."On behalf of the Visionary Group, Larsons, and Feynmans, I sincerely apologize for offending you, Hol. Johnson."Unlike earlier, Hector lowered himself and showed sincerity.Eric remained silent, observing."Hol. Johnson, we truly are sorry. Can you release the group of people who went to the department yesterday?" Hector added, noticing Eric's silence.He knew Eric and his group must have detained his men, though he didn't know their capabilities."So, you're here to ask for their release?" Eric was clearly displeased.The group had aggressively attempted to reclaim the departmen
