King City's underground scene had lost much of its former vibrancy.Initially, the underworld boasted seven or eight distinct gangs. However, as time passed, only Matteo and his gang endured.Although new factions had emerged, they lacked the notoriety and prowess of their predecessors.-In Eric's lounge.Matteo said, "Mr. Johnson, your participation is sure to elevate the excitement of the underground arena to new heights. While instances of one against two were rare in the past, a one-against-three scenario is unprecedented."Despite the decline in the underworld's fortunes, tales of Eric, or more accurately Ghostface, continued to circulate within King City's underground circles. Eric's dominance, fueled by his energy strikes, persisted in the annals of the underground arena.However, his disappearance after just a few matches led many to speculate that Ghostface had either been recruited by the arena's owner or had met an untimely demise.Eric's reappearance promised to in
The moment the Krav Maga grandmaster struck, Eric smoothly sidestepped and countered, striking the fighter's arm and repelling him. Next, he simultaneously struck his second and third opponents.Unexpectedly, the audience's observing fighters could not discern Eric's techniques!All three opponents were repelled in the blink of an eye, and the audience could barely track Eric's movements."Ghostface is indeed terrifying! His skills seem to have improved again!" exclaimed spectators familiar with Eric's prowess.It was evident that the three grandmasters were no match for Eric.Eric glanced at them indifferently and remarked, "The quality of fighters in this arena is declining. The three of you couldn't even withstand a single move from me. Let's end this quickly."The three grandmasters trembled!The Formless grandmaster witnessed Eric launch another attack. A terrifying gust of wind preceded it—a straight punch, yet unstoppable!"This is the energy strike?" exclaimed someone i
The mysterious man who spoke up observed silently in the darkness of the underground arena.Usually, the matches continued until one fighter conceded unless they refused to surrender. While some fighters might see dying in the ring as an honor, most valued their lives. After conceding, there was no need to keep fighting or killing the opponent.Speculation circulated that the underground arena's owner had appeared. Rumors suggested that he was searching for Ghostface, whose identity remained unknown.In the pitch-black darkness, Eric sensed hostile eyes fixed on him. Few would be audacious enough to act this way apart from the arena owner. He gazed back."If you don't kill them, then you shall die!"The audience gasped in astonishment. A figure had unexpectedly appeared at the edge of the ring.At the lounge, Matteo couldn't help but stand up. How did that person suddenly appear in the ring?Glancing at Sylvia, he found her looking calm. Puzzled, he wondered if Sylvia was not wo
Suddenly, a mysterious force erupted from Eric's fist!Grim felt as though his palm was on the verge of exploding. Eric was swift and merciless, leaving no room for elaborate techniques in his style. His principle was straightforward: subdue opponents using the fastest and most ruthless methods.After Grim deftly blocked his punch, Eric swiftly swung another fist.Grim's expression shifted as he blocked Eric's second punch with his palm, recoiling several steps backward.Eric's speed and ferocity left Grim struggling to react. Although Eric's moves lacked fanciness, they efficiently suppressed his opponents.This battle surpassed the excitement of Eric's previous match with the three grandmasters, showcasing Grim's prowess in the arena.The three grandmasters couldn't withstand Eric for even a moment, yet Grim had already blocked several moves.Unbeknownst to them, this battle strained Grim significantly. He had become a legend through simplicity but was now being subdued by Eri
Eric's words took aback Matteo. As a martial artist, he understood the immense challenge of such an endeavor. While repeating a movement might seem simple, doing it thousands or tens of thousands of times required exceptional perseverance, a quality few possessed.Martial arts training was already a fairly monotonous affair, let alone repeating a single movement day in and day out, perhaps for an entire year.Grim had demonstrated several common moves used by novice martial artists throughout the battle."Could repeating the same move countless times yield such a result?" Sylvia asked in astonishment.After changing into a new set of clothes, Eric and the others prepared to leave. Just then, a man entered the lounge, saying, "Gentlemen, my master wishes to meet you."Sylvia had been to the arena a few times, and Eric wasn't concerned whether the owner knew her identity. He put on his mask, ready to meet the owner.He initially thought Grim was the owner, but that wasn't the case.
Eric nonchalantly remarked, "Sorry, but martial arts isn't my forte at the moment. Let's save that conversation for a time when I'm more interested."With those words, he departed alongside Sylvia and Matteo.Grim had the urge to stop Eric, but the individual behind the door intervened, commanding, "Let them go."Once Eric and the others exited, the voice from beyond spoke once more. "Dig into this Ghostface character. His martial arts proficiency is advancing too swiftly. I suspect he's in possession of what eluded various factions in the past!"-The affairs at King City Bank remained unresolved.After listening to Eric's account, Pierce furrowed his brow. "So... the underground arena in King City has a legend, and that fellow is just a lackey for someone else?"Then, how powerful must the owner of this underground arena be?"Pierce sensed that the challenges the Combat Department faced were escalating. Their new adversary appeared to outmatch Shadow from the Crimson Order. B
The Combat Department had finally acquired some leads regarding the underground arena in King City.Eric had also successfully completed his mission. However, the results were unexpected. It was surprising to discover that a legend was working under the owner of the underground arena. Pierce sensed that the arena posed a threat to King City and must be eradicated.Under Pierce's supervision, King City Bank operated with high efficiency. He aimed not to save the bank but to clear its debts. Premium assets were sold directly to other banks eager to take over.After a few days, Sylvia's savings at King City Bank were processed. After adding up the Hernandezes' savings, the total was around 8 to 9 billion dollars.Naturally, this caused Pierce quite a headache.After handling large transactions, Pierce finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to address the issues behind King City Bank.During these days, the Combat Department also discovered some information. King City
Eric stood up and said, "Then let's go and help. After all, I have shares in Hernandez Corp.."Sylvia smiled at Eric's excuse.-At the Hernandez residence.Julius received unexpected news that the Calles and Lynars were resorting to drastic methods. Despite his disbelief, there was little he could do. The audacity of the two families indicated they had secured their connections.He gathered the Hernandez martial artists, counting fewer than 10 grandmasters.The Montgomerys alone boasted at least 20 grandmasters, and the Calles and Lynars would likely bring at least 10 grandmasters with them.Putting on his clothes, Julius sighed and instructed Nera, "You are from the Calles family. Andrew will not trouble you. Leave before they arrive."The lack of action from the Montgomerys meant they were left to defend themselves.Beyond financial issues, this was the crisis Julius had feared. The Hernandezes possessed premium assets, so the Calles and Lynars were willing to take the risk
