Money profoundly impacted everyone's interests. In its absence, conflicts would escalate, leading to unpredictable consequences. Additionally, the bank functioned as a credit institution, and if it lost credibility, how could ordinary people maintain their credit?Collapsing was inevitable in a society without credit until a new credit system emerged.Indeed, currency, or money itself, represented credit. Devoid of credit, money was essentially worthless."Big Boss, Lieutenant General Johnson, the capital outflow from King City Bank is more severe than anticipated. Preliminary estimates suggest it has reached 50 billion dollars, and we've only traced less than half of it!"We've identified around 20 billion dollars flowing abnormally. We've temporarily frozen those channels, but they likely have other methods. Our team is investigating the addresses, and it should be in King City!" Miller reported."Act swiftly! This involves the interests of every depositor and is related to nati
Half an hour later, a scout returned, "Lieutenant General Johnson, Captain Smithson! There is a basement below the club, and it's highly likely the culprits are inside!"Miller decisively issued the order, "Move!"Even in this critical moment, the Combat Department's tracking of IP addresses and network information continued to operate. If the location was accurate, there had to be people in the basement.The Combat Department members led the way into the club, followed closely by the specialists."Who are you? What are you doing?!" someone shouted as the group entered the club.Immediately, a group of menacing individuals rushed toward them."Subdue them!" Miller ordered without hesitation and charged toward the group.A blonde young man approached Eric with a steel pipe, aiming a swing at his head.Eric furrowed his brow, seized the pipe, and swiftly slapped the young man away.In a matter of minutes, Miller and his team had subdued the group of over 20 people."Call for ba
"They must have left traces while transferring the money. We just need to follow the lead," Eric remarked.Eric pondered whether the Crimson Order was behind this. Since the Larson incident, the Crimson Order appeared to have vanished without a trace. According to Eric and the Combat Department's understanding of the Crimson Order, they wouldn't stay quiet and avoid causing trouble.However, aside from Shadow, the Combat Department had no more leads on the Crimson Order.Miller sighed. "Considering what happened in Westlake, Sunridge, and now King City, things seem to be getting more complicated."While the team of specialists worked on recovering losses, Eric and Miller remained at the club. Soon, reinforcements arrived, and Pierce had the Combat Department send over meals since some members hadn't eaten yet.Miller was also starving. Eric had eaten at noon, but Miller hadn't had anything.While enjoying their meals, Miller's ears twitched. "Someone's coming!"He immediately se
Shortly afterward, Eric swiftly subdued the remaining two grandmasters. At that point, the members of the Combat Department stationed outside finally noticed the commotion and entered.Miller set down his meal, waved his hand, and said, "Return to your posts. Everything has been taken care of."The members retreated, and Miller chuckled while approaching the three grandmasters. He glanced at the weapons in their hands and asked, "Now, who sent you? And what mission were you here to execute?"He felt that the mastermind behind this operation could be exposed through them.The trio remained silent. Perhaps they had already considered the possibility of failing the mission. However, they underestimated Miller.Miller pointed at one of them and said, "Kill him!""Yes, sir!"Two members from the Combat Department entered and restrained the man Miller was pointing at. One of them took out a dagger and slit his throat on the spot."Ah!"His miserable scream made the two men shiver un
This inevitably led to various speculations. What was the connection between the Feynmans, the money laundering station, and the underground arena in King City? Things had become more complicated and tricky with the Larsons gone and the Feynmans about to meet their downfall.-At King City Bank.Miller reported back to Pierce. His expression turned grim after learning that the Feynmans and King City's underground arena were involved in this matter."Big Boss, should we investigate the Feynmans?" Miller asked.It would be ridiculous to say the Feynmans were not involved in this matter since the money laundering station was established in the basement of one of their clubs.Pierce shook his head. "Let's not alert them for now. These elite families are not easy to deal with. If the Feynmans learn we're investigating them, it will be even harder to deal with them later."He hadn't forgotten the incident with the Larsons, which nearly delivered a heavy blow to the Combat Department.
The Montgomerys hadn't received much information, so the incident at King City Bank hadn't been exposed to the public yet."Why are you back?" Sylvia was curious when she saw Eric return. She thought Eric would have to stay at King City Bank to handle affairs there. From Nigel's actions, it was evident that the bank was involved in many shady dealings.Eric sat down and said, "Big Boss and the others took over. Ruth is also there. I have other tasks in the morning, so I came back to rest."Sylvia nodded."Apart from Sylvia, does anyone in our family have savings in King City Bank?" Eric asked.Grace sighed. "We don't, but a few of our family's bodyguards have some money there. I had them counted in the afternoon. If they can't withdraw money from King City Bank for the next three days, we will provide them with the money. They can return it when the bank's money becomes available."Grace had everything thought out. She knew that the Montgomery bodyguards were equally deserving.
The Combat Department's workload suddenly spiked.Pierce not only had to grapple with the aftermath left by King City Bank but also had to dispatch people to maintain order outside the bank.Glancing downstairs, Ruth couldn't help but frown. "So many people have arrived? The news has spread too quickly!"Without the Combat Department's constraints, information was only natural to spread rapidly. After the exposure of the incident at King City Bank, depositors swarmed in to retrieve their money."There's nothing wrong with people coming to take back their money. After all, most of them are just ordinary people who have worked hard for decades. The money in their accounts is their entire savings. How are they supposed to live if they can't get back their money?" Pierce said.Ruth sighed. They could only sympathize with the bank tellers as their workload would be overwhelming starting today.Although King City Bank had announced that it would not go bankrupt and withdrawals and tran
Julius was in the process of getting dressed.Following the revelation of the incident at King City Bank, he finally received some positive news—Montgomery Corp. had agreed to lend them money.Nera assisted Julius with his attire."Julius, take a deep breath. Life throws challenges at us, but didn't Montgomery Corp. assure us of financial assistance? We will surely navigate through this crisis," she comforted.Although Julius nodded, a troubled expression lingered on his face. The challenges the Hernandezes faced were more intricate than a simple loan.Once dressed, Julius prepared to leave, but Eric and Sylvia unexpectedly arrived.Nera swiftly served them coffee, pondering the reason for Eric's sudden visit. After all, he hadn't visited the Hernandezes since Javier's arrest.Addressing Julius calmly, Eric asked, "I heard Mr. Hernandez caused a stir at King City Bank today?"His words carried a hint of resentment.Sylvia and Nera remained silent, realizing that what seemed li
