The documents contained various data about the virus, including the genetic map.Perhaps fearing the GHO team might not understand, Eric said, "The virus that broke out in Dortmund City and Salt City originates from several very common viruses. After combining the genes and characteristics of these common viruses, a new virus was created!"Since you're all experts in this field, I'm sure you know that this kind of virus is definitely not naturally occurring."Some of the people fell silent. They had been wondering why the outbreak would suddenly occur. In today's world, where hygiene was a top priority, they couldn't fathom how such a virus could emerge. If indeed there was an outbreak, it must be a dormant strain or one that had mutated multiple times.Eric continued. "Generally speaking, highly contagious viruses have low fatality rates because they are also products of nature. Their strong infectivity is due to encountering many living organisms during the host's active period,

Kurt's expression turned grave. "They've done their job too well! Flawless!" He could already sense their dilemma. The GHO hadn't even had the chance to sling dirt at them before Eric's arguments came crashing down.They had wanted to verify the data's authenticity and accuracy, but they discovered that all the data was accurate. They had considered tampering with the data, but they soon discarded the idea as it would be too obvious. If they were exposed for falsifying data, not only would their trip to Dortmund City be in vain, but the GHO's reputation would also suffer a huge blow. It was not worth it at all.Kurt did not know what to do now.Someone beside him said, "The guy who's been speaking all this time has all the data in his hands. Stealing it isn't an option. They must have backups."Since reasoning won't work, let's get tough! Let's eliminate Eric. We can stage it as a suicide, claiming he couldn't bear the guilt of his lies!"Our trip's purpose is to prove the v

After making the necessary preparations, they waited for the assassin to take the bait. Since the hotel's daily traffic was not particularly high, any suspicious individuals would be immediately noticed. However, there were no signs of anything out of the ordinary until midnight. Yet, Roland and his men remained vigilant. The GOH team would be staying in Dortmund City for several days, and Roland speculated that it would likely be tonight or tomorrow night.After midnight, Roland's men finally spotted a suspicious figure. A person wearing a cap and dressed as a cleaner entered the elevator, heading toward Eric's floors."He's here!" Roland's man said over the intercom. "It's someone disguised as a cleaner, wearing a cap. We just confirmed with the hotel manager that he isn't one of their employees!""Guys, let's have some fun!" Roland said. "Mess up the rooms for the cleaner! Spill some drinks and stuff and make him clean it all up! Tire the bastard out!"As a cleaner, cleaning

As the door creaked open, Eric glanced at the assassin."Come in," he said.The assassin stepped into the room, and Eric swiftly shut the door behind him, casually sliding the bolt into place.With practiced ease, the assassin retrieved the air freshener and sprayed the room. "Sir, this is the exclusive service for the presidential suite, a special feature of our hotel. After I finish your massage, a beautiful woman will also come to your door for one-on-one service."Rest assured, sir. They are all clean, with board certificates from various training schools," the assassin assured.Eric nodded slightly, settling onto the bed.Time was ticking, and the assassin was getting impatient.From his bag, the assassin produced a syringe containing an unknown liquid. His eyes glinted with killing intent as he approached Eric, ready to administer the injection.But just as he drew close, Eric suddenly flipped over, grabbing the assassin's hand with a sharp gaze. "What is this? I didn't r

The Combat Department interrogated the assassin through the night. When dealing with individuals of such nature, they had their ways.Meanwhile, Eric dialed a number.As soon as the call connected, Eric chuckled. "No one has been sent to our territory for any assassinations lately, right?"Stealthbane was nearly frightened out of his wits. "Mr. Johnson, absolutely not! We haven't sent anyone over for a long time! We've even stopped accepting jobs from there!"With a cold sneer, Eric remarked, "Stopped accepting them? Yet, tonight, a highly professional assassin came to kill me! Are you saying you had no involvement in this?"Stealthbane was trembling. "Absolutely not! Mr. Johnson, don't you trust me? Though I often engage in shady activities, when I say I haven't done something, I haven't!"Eric retorted, "If I say it didn't happen, it didn't. What's the difference between that and a forced confession?"Eric smirked and added, "I still trust your integrity, but perhaps these are

"Big Boss is right," Eric remarked, placing the interrogation documents on the table. "These people indeed harbor no good intentions. These so-called international organizations aren't benevolent entities at all. They are mere tools wielded by individuals, organizations, or even entire nations!"Witnessing such darkness firsthand, Eric felt as though his very principles had been altered. Weren't international organizations meant to serve the globe, to serve all of humanity? How could they devolve into instruments for others?It was too dark, too despair-inducing. They wore a glossy facade but engaged in unspeakable deeds behind the scenes.Taking a deep breath, Eric continued. "I won't be attending today's meeting. When you return, inform me about Kurt and their reactions."His aim was to unsettle Kurt and his team, leaving them unsure whether he was alive or dead. With the assassin captured and Eric absent, Kurt and his group would be left to speculate wildly.Eric could alread

As Eric entered, Kurt's face turned pale, instantly filled with panic!Just two days ago, he had sent someone to kill Eric, and the assassin had been missing for two days.He had assumed the assassin had succeeded! Otherwise, why wouldn't Eric have shown up the next day? After all, Eric was their key expert!Now, Eric's appearance filled Kurt with a sense of impending doom. If Eric was there, then where was his subordinate?!Eric sat down calmly, without a word. He slowly opened his laptop and glanced at the GHO team. "You want to see evidence? So be it. I'll show you. Pay attention and don't blink!" Casting the screen, Eric said, "Since the outbreak in Dortmund City, we rushed to the scene immediately to prevent the spread of the virus and also to study its characteristics."This statement carried significant weight.Why would he say that? The reason was simple: the Combat Department prioritized everyone's lives rather than diverting resources to investigate the source upon ar
Chapter 1285
Eric opened a dossier, stating, "We conducted a thorough investigation on the virus after Dortmund City was virus-free! We're quite fortunate, I must say!""But weren't the Oberdeens in King City responsible?" Kurt interjected."Heh, they're just a third-tier family in King City. Yet, they managed to develop an effective cure against the virus? Following this lead, we found ties between the Oberdeens and Catellon!"He presented evidence directly. "Take a look for yourselves, the virus originated from Catellon, and the Oberdeens executed it on their behalf. The Oberdeens are nothing but pawns!"Kurt and his team were bewildered.In hindsight, he finally realized why they were turning their attention toward Catellon. They already had leads and concrete evidence!"So..." Eric closed his laptop, scanning the GHO members before fixing his gaze on Kurt. "Why have you come to us instead of investigating Catellon?"Faced with irrefutable evidence, Kurt deflated like a punctured ball, si
