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
Eric said, "Uncle Alexander, I'm not very familiar with Jessica. I can't guarantee anything about this. It might be more appropriate for my mom to handle it."After successfully matchmaking several couples, Alexander considered involving Eric. Now, hearing Eric's words, he thought Grace might indeed be more suitable for the task.He looked at Grace, and she smiled. "We should first ask for Sean's opinion."Feeling the gaze, Sean quickly found an excuse to leave. Alexander could not help but sigh.Over the years, with Grace handling many things, he did not have to worry much. The only thing he worried about was Sean now."Being part of a wealthy family doesn't necessarily mean everything is good..." Alexander lamented.As the family chatted, a sudden shout echoed, "Sylvia! Come out and face me! Let's settle the score between us!"The guards were on high alert when they saw Dante swagger into the Montgomery residence.Sylvia wanted to face Dante, but Eric knew that Dante was desp
They all knew Eric possessed remarkable martial arts skills, but now he faced Dante, a seasoned Lieutenant General of the Combat Department.Just a month ago, Dante had successfully framed legendary figures like Pierce and Shadow. Dante was undoubtedly formidable, yet he was unable to withstand a single punch from Eric.He flew dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, unable to raise his arm.Pierce and his group arrived at that moment. Witnessing Dante lying on the ground coughing blood, even Pierce couldn't help but be astonished. They were only two or three minutes behind Dante, yet Eric had already taken care of him.After the initial shock, Pierce waved his hand and ordered, "Take Dante away!"Since a major threat had been neutralized, Pierce felt relieved. Dante had colluded with Shadow, and the latter held evidence against him. If Shadow decided to use this leverage later, the consequences would be unimaginable.As Dante was taken away
