Their last operation had targeted the Larsons.-Back at the Montgomerys.Eric briefed Grace on the situation. Given Grace's solid relationship with the Watsons, she emerged as the ideal candidate for this task. Even Grace was roped in to lure out the Feynmans."Isn't it too dangerous?" Grace voiced considerable concern after listening to Eric's plan. After all, the last encounter with the Larsons had left Eric and his group narrowly escaping defeat. Confronting another top-tier family heightened Grace's worries."Mom, it'll be fine," Eric reassured with a smile. "It's different this time. There's certainly danger, but I'll take care of myself."Grace sighed and went off to reach out to the Watsons and McClains."Sylvia, don't go tonight. It might be dangerous," Eric urged.Eric might confront two legends tonight, so he couldn't afford to be careless."Okay, you must be careful."Sylvia remained concerned about Eric's safety, understanding the inevitability of danger in his p
"The money circulating in the underground arena is entirely illicit. Both the underworld and the fighters are well aware of this fact. The money will unquestionably be confiscated if the relevant authorities decide to investigate."Although a 20% tax may seem steep, it's actually reasonable. If this money could be earned legally, I believe everyone would willingly pay the tax."Pierce finally grasped the situation. He wouldn't completely shut down the underground arena. Even if it were closed, another underground arena would emerge.With substantial interests at stake, people on the streets would inevitably take risks. Instead of suppressing it, why not legalize underground fighting and impose taxes?Pierce pondered that they could implement this idea after resolving matters with the underground arena and the Feynmans. Utilizing the funds from the underground arena to enhance people's livelihoods or for other purposes seemed like a good plan.While conversing, the matches had alre
Pierce couldn't help but sigh. Grim's techniques were basic but extremely destructive."What a pity! You'd be an invaluable asset to the Combat Department if you were one of us. It's a shame that you chose the wrong path!" Pierce said.With that said, he attacked again.The battle between the legends was terrifying.It wasn't easy for Pierce to take down Grim in a one-on-one confrontation. Fortunately, Miller and his team had the underground arena under control."Quickly! Go back up, Big Boss!"The Combat Department had many grandmasters, but they didn't adhere to the rules of the martial world. If they could gang up, they would never fight one-on-one. After all, their goal was simply to accomplish victory in every mission.Seeing he was outnumbered, Grim feigned a move and swiftly escaped."Captain Smithson, take a few people to clean up the scene. The rest, follow!"Pierce was determined to capture Grim. Obviously, something fishy was going on in King City's underground aren
Pierce was perplexed. Could it be that there was no issue with the Feynmans, and the mysterious owner and Grim used them as a cover?After Ruth gave the report, Arthur chuckled and remarked, "General Fischer, the Feynmans abide by the law. We will promptly inform the Combat Department if there is any relevant information.""Alright!" Pierce stood up. He realized staying at the Feynmans was futile. "Mr. Feynman, we'll take our leave now!"After leading the Combat Department out, and once the group departed, Arthur's expression immediately darkened."What's going on?"The Combat Department's sudden arrival in the middle of the night genuinely frightened him. After all, having engaged in dishonest actions, he naturally feared them.The old butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying, "I have no idea, Mr. Feynman. Maybe there's a problem on the other side?"Pierce is a legend. Only they could chase after him..."Arthur had an older brother, the true key figure of the Feynmans.
After the Larsons' downfall, the competition among the top-tier families significantly diminished.The Watsons were still awake. News of the underground arena quickly reached them, and James was certain that something significant would happen tonight.Suddenly, a figure flashed through the Watson residence—it was none other than Eric. The estate's security was useless against someone of his caliber.The younger family members were wide awake, while James felt drowsy. He stood up and said, "I can't hold on any longer. You all should rest early as well. Have those on duty stay alert."With age, burning the midnight oil became challenging. As he prepared to retire to his room, he was taken aback to see Ghostface standing at the entrance."Mr. Watson," Eric greeted James before stepping into the villa, making the Watsons anxious."Relax, it's Eric!" Jessica blurted.Even though Eric wore a mask, she still recognized him. Since Eric didn't deliberately change his voice, Jessica could
At the Hernandez residence.Julius' eyes were bloodshot. He had never been this close to Grace for so many years, sitting down to have a conversation. Despite being in good shape, the wrinkles around her eyes were visible.It struck him that he couldn't let go of Grace at all. "Grace—""Mr. Hernandez, I came with a very important mission tonight," Grace said indifferently."Unity is the future of the wealthy families in King City, and preliminary results have already been achieved. If we don't unite, we'll only grow weaker and weaker."This is a golden opportunity for the Hernandezes to make a comeback and restore their glory. I hope you will cherish it."Tomorrow, the top-tier families will release a joint statement, and the Watsons and McClains will host a banquet together. If the Hernandezes wish to join the alliance, you should release a press statement on time."With that said, Grace left behind a template for an alliance statement and departed.Julius understood that she
If the prominent families formed an alliance, it would be unfavorable for the Feynmans. Naturally, the Feynmans wouldn't allow the alliance to succeed.-All the families that issued the joint statement had gathered at the McClain residence.The competition among the families in King City had plateaued for a long time. A breakthrough was necessary for them to advance.Believing that uniting for development was an excellent choice, the prominent families were willing to give it a try. They could withdraw from the alliance without much loss if it didn't work out."Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter who hosts this banquet. By uniting, we're all equal in status. We must come together. By reducing conflicts, we can develop together and achieve greater heights," Lionel said, raising his glass to the guests.Concerned that they might misunderstand the McClains, he deliberately made this statement to express clearly that every participating family was equal in this alliance."Mr. M
Grace confidently stepped forward and declared, "Mr. Feynman, I played a pivotal role in uniting the prominent families, including the McClains and Watsons. Is there any issue?"Arthur narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and addressed Grace, "So it's you, Madam Montgomery. Truly admirable! Your reputation precedes you, and I've long heard about your accomplishments."It's not surprising that you convinced the other families, but convincing the McClains and Watsons is unexpected! However, you didn't extend an invitation to the Feynmans. Are you plotting against us?" He scanned the crowd.Grace smiled. "Mr. Feynman, there might be a misunderstanding. How could we dare to go against the Feynmans? This alliance has no intention of targeting anyone. We're merely discussing a new development model."I believe you're aware that the development of prominent families in King City has remained stagnant for decades. Nothing has changed except for the families' names. Let me remind you if you'
