Several days later, Ruth returned. No one knew where she had been, and even the people Dante had sent to track her had lost her halfway. Her first task upon returning was to find Sylvia."It's enough. I don't want to wait any longer," she said as she received valuable information from Sylvia.The only thing missing was the voiceprint comparison for Pierce, but it did not matter now.She decided to deliver the final blow to Dante."What if Dante becomes desperate?" Sylvia asked worriedly.Dante did not dare to do anything to her because she had evidence against him on her hands. However, if he feels trapped, he might go all out and confront them."I'm not afraid," Ruth replied. "In the past few days, I've called for reinforcements. Tonight, I'll contact my comrades from the Combat Department again and try to take down Dante as soon as possible!"Sylvia frowned. She had always been cautious about dealing with Dante due to numerous concerns. However, she also wanted Eric to return
Lionel frowned. "What agreement? Did we agree that my daughter couldn't report you? I remember we agreed that she wouldn't return to the Combat Department, right?"Dante's face darkened. He was too anxious and presumptuous. Ruth's report had thrown him off balance. From Lionel's words, he knew that Lionel had turned against him.Ruth sat calmly on the side. The McClains lacked a legend, but she wasn't afraid. She was confident that Dante wouldn't dare to harm her.Dante knew very well that it must be Lionel or someone from Sylvia's side who provided Ruth with the evidence, allowing her to report him boldly."Just you wait," Dante said and left.Watching Dante's departing figure, Lionel sighed. "Honey, you've been a bit impulsive. Dante will definitely prepare when he goes back, and it will be even more difficult for us to take action by then."He knew how challenging it was to bring down someone like Dante."No problem. Let him prepare," Ruth said indifferently.She was fully p
Shadow had fabricated the video, and Dante found himself in a panic. He even toyed with the idea of ending it all by taking out everyone present, realizing he was doomed either way. However, he hesitated.Among the people across from him, someone with graying hair caught his eye, someone he didn't recognize. King City housed numerous talented individuals, and he couldn't be sure if this person was specifically targeting him.He clung to hope until the very last moment.The group meticulously scrutinized the document, leaving unchecked no word or punctuation mark. This examination lasted for hours, focusing solely on a video where Dante slandered Eric and the others.After the scrutiny, they engaged in hushed discussions and deliberations for nearly an hour. During this time, one person even left momentarily.Sylvia and Ruth weren't overly nervous, but Dante was on edge. The longer the proceedings, the more anxious he became. The extended time suggested that Sylvia's provided evide
Ruth stepped forward, armed with information to submit—specifically about those two videos.Dante's heart skipped a beat. If the video accusing Eric and the others could undergo voiceprint analysis, what about those two videos?As anticipated, several people frowned upon seeing what Ruth had provided. Skepticism loomed high. After all, if the videos proving the treason of Pierce and the others were fake, then these two videos could also be fabricated.A more thorough examination and meticulous comparison followed. By now, the sky outside had darkened.Finally, the lead person addressed Dante, "Lieutenant General Vernon, have you encountered the second in charge of the Crimson Order, Shadow, also known as Lucius Ortega, in a forest on the outskirts of King City? This encounter took place about a month before the Larson incident."Dante was stunned. Quickly composing himself, he asserted, "Gentlemen, if the video implicating General Fischer is forged, then these two videos of mine a
At the forefront of the group stood an elderly man with white hair. As they entered, Ruth promptly stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Sir."After returning from Phoenix City, Ruth had left for a few days to seek assistance from Pierce's mentor.Pierce lacked the support of a prominent family or a powerful force. His martial prowess was nurtured under the guidance of the white-haired elder, shaping him into the extraordinary individual he had become.The old man waved his hand. "You've worked hard. I see the splendor of our great nation's women in both of you."He felt a deep sense of pride. Under his guidance, Pierce was already a remarkable figure. Even Ruth displayed remarkable courage and skill.The white-haired elder gestured for everyone to sit. "This incident has also served as a wake-up call for Pierce. Enemies are everywhere, and one must not let their guard down."As for Dante, he's definitely feeling uneasy. It won't be long before he acts, most likely within the n
In the car, Sylvia asked Ruth, "Who is that white-haired elder? I noticed they all show great respect towards him."Ruth smiled and said, "He has profound martial arts skills. My mentor once said he could be considered a living legend. Besides, he has another identity!""Another identity?" Sylvia asked.She had never seen the white-haired elder in the news or on television.Ruth explained, "In ancient times, there were court educators. Well, he's somewhat equivalent to those court educators. He is remarkable. I can say that he has incredible abilities, and raising my mentor into a legend is just one of his achievements."The revelation took Sylvia aback. She thought figures like Pierce and Ruth were already the pinnacle of human potential. Little did she know that there were even more extraordinary individuals out there."Don't be like that!" Ruth said. "Eric is also a genius. Not to mention other things, just in terms of martial arts, I believe he can catch up with him sooner or
Grace and Sylvia eagerly awaited Eric at King City Airport, joined by the Montgomerys. The anticipation was agonizing, but seeing the person they longed for made everything worthwhile.The private plane from Phoenix City descended slowly at King City Airport. Initially, Eric and Ruth had fled with this private plane. Now, Eric was returning.The cabin door opened, and the figure they had longed for over the past 20 days finally appeared. Sylvia couldn't hold back. She ran up before Eric even descended and embraced him tightly, fearing he might disappear again.Eric reciprocated the tight embrace. After a while, a cough sounded from behind Eric, and the couple quickly let go."Eric hasn't slept the entire way. You two can cherish each other after getting home. It isn't a suitable place here," Sean said with a smile.Having not slept all night, Sylvia had dark circles under her eyes. However, there were too many words to say and too many things to do. She just couldn't sleep.After
When they besieged the Larsons that night, Dante attacked her, and her injuries still hadn't fully healed."He went toward the Montgomerys," Ruth said.Upon hearing this, the white-haired elder said, "He dares not go to the McClains and even less to the Combat Department. So he can only go to the Montgomerys to get his revenge. This is perfect. I can use this opportunity to see if he can withstand a few moves from Eric."He had never seen Eric before, and Pierce had mentioned Eric multiple times in front of him. For him, Pierce was already considered a genius among geniuses, and he found it hard to believe there was someone even more talented than Pierce.Dante was planning retaliation. He couldn't do anything to Ruth for now, but he believed he could deal with Sylvia. He hated both women but chose the weaker target.He still didn't know that Eric had returned to the country. Dante planned to get his revenge first and then find a way to escape the country overnight, just like Eric
