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
Hector firmly believed that there was nothing money couldn't solve."We've assessed the Innova Group's value. Based on the current market, your revenue is projected to hit around 3 billion dollars this year. Factoring in the optimizations made in product and production capacity, the estimated profit for this year is approximately 600,000,000 dollars. Taking into account your fixed assets, we're prepared to offer 10 billion dollars to acquire the Innova Group!"Remember, when the Innova Group started, it had only 200 million dollars in funding. I believe Hol. Johnson will perceive our offer as sincere!""10 billion dollars?" Eric feigned surprise."Are you undervaluing the Innova Group? Consider the worth of the three major international giants. Their valuation exceeds hundreds of billions! The Innova Group will catch up with them sooner or later, and you're offering only 10 billion dollars? Further discussion is unnecessary if your offer is less than 100 billion dollars!"Hector's
The Larsons and the Visionary Group had finalized their plan to deal with the Innova Group, focusing on Eric. After all, Eric was the co-founder and CIO of the Innova Group, as well as the technological core of the company.Owen and the others speculated that the Innova Group's competitiveness may be attributed to Eric's identity as a prominent holistic physician.Taking care of Eric would eliminate the Innova Group as a concern. However, determining how to deal with Eric had become a significant challenge. Eric had two formidable bodyguards, Vince and Matthew, by his side. Unbeknownst to them, they believed that Vince and Matthew had subdued their men.After much consideration, Owen felt it was necessary to consult with Shadow. It would be better if Shadow could intervene in this matter. However, Shadow was currently not at the Larsons' residence. Instead, he had appeared at Dante's house.The Combat Department possessed substantial intelligence on the Crimson Order, but the latte
After Pierce stepped down, the likelihood of him assuming the role of General seemed slim. Unbeknownst to Shadow, Eric had ascended to the position of Lieutenant General in the Combat Department.Dante only revealed that the Combat Department had a General and two Lieutenant Generals but kept Eric's identity concealed. He recognized the need for caution when dealing with individuals like Shadow."You've made significant contributions to the country and the Combat Department. In my view, you're on par with Pierce! You're more than qualified to be the next General!" Shadow expressed."Shadow, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we enemies? Why assist me? What are your intentions?" Dante asked."Ah, it seems that the Crimson Order has suffered greatly due to our recent actions, and you're at a loss in dealing with the Combat Department. So, you're attempting to sow discord within the Combat Department. Am I right?"Shadow's expression remained unchanged. "Vermillion, you are quite
Owen coughed violently, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. His horror deepened as he noticed Shadow's presence in the room.Owen acknowledged his wrongdoing despite the backing of three major international giants. He had mishandled the situation, and now he faced Shadow's retribution.Feeling the weight of responsibility, Owen urgently sought to swiftly remove Eric and the Innova Group. Failure to do so would result in Shadow holding him accountable. The vast gap between Owen and Shadow became painfully apparent. Even as the head of a top elite family, Owen found himself easily manipulated by Shadow.-Meanwhile, Eric kept a vigilant eye on the department's situation. He anticipated that Hector's group wouldn't relent easily after suffering a significant blow.Contrary to Eric's expectations, they didn't return to the department. Losing over a dozen members was undoubtedly a setback for them.At this point, the Innova Group's crisis had temporarily subsided. Hector understoo
