Chapter 1303
The entirety of the company's data was there, a sanctuary of secrets within secrets. Two guards were stationed at the entrance of the data center, their presence a testament to the place's significance.Eric brought along a brand-new laptop. His old one was loaded with stuff, not really something he wanted to carry to the company. Once he got to the console, Eric dove right into checking out the data. This action made Chuck frown, and he glanced at Kurt. "Is this fellow proficient?"A sense of impending trouble loomed. Eric's actions were too adept. Logically, the GHO shouldn't possess such skilled personnel for these devices.Kurt nodded. "We're keeping up with the times. He's a recent recruit, quite adept in this domain."Chuck's head spun. Despite his numerous precautions, he hadn't foreseen this move. He hoped Eric wasn't too well-versed in these matters, so as not to uncover any traces.Yet, even as he silently prayed, Eric adjusted the spectacles perched on his nose and as

Chuck's face turned ashen. He felt a surge of desire to rush forward, push Eric aside, and shout at the top of his lungs, "Stop this madness!"But he dared not.Silently, he took out his phone and sent a message.-Eric emerged with his laptop at 8:00 p.m.!Adjusting his glasses, he glanced at Kurt and Chuck. "I've found some things. Should we discuss them tonight or wait until tomorrow?"Chuck's face darkened!Without waiting for Kurt to speak, he hurriedly said, "Tonight! The conference room is ready!"The group moved to the conference room.The Genome executives wore grim expressions. They knew Eric must have discovered something significant.Seated, Eric projected some deleted files from his computer onto the big screen. "These are some deleted files I found. I won't dwell on the others, as they are unrelated to this investigation, and I haven't copied them."Let's focus on this document related to the Oberdeen Group in King City." He looked at Kurt. "Mr. Kurt, did you b

However, genetic weapons were different. This was a new means of attack, yet it was still defined as a weapon! The deployment of weapons meant war!Would the two countries go to war? This was a result neither could bear."You..." Chuck sighed. "How do you want to handle this?"He wanted bloodshed because the situation had completely unraveled.Kurt continued. "You should understand our procedures. Over 800 people died in Dortmund City, and countless others suffer from terrible consequences.Kurt explained, "According to the GHO's regulations, your company will face a penalty of 10 to 20 billion dollars. This money is intended to promote the overall health of humanity. Naturia has already assessed all the losses from this outbreak, totaling 80 billion dollars!"You can wire this money directly to Naturia. If they forgive you all, perhaps the matter won't escalate further."Chuck suddenly burst into laughter. "20 billion dollars?! Do you think Genome Inc. has that much money? 20 b

Ruth also got out of the car, her expression grave. She speculated that most of the assassins encountered in Catellon were shadow warriors. These assassins were elusive, leaving no trace behind, which made them incredibly troublesome."Have you spotted someone?" Ruth looked around, but the surroundings were eerily silent. Where could there be anyone?Noticing Eric holding several egg-sized stones in his hand, she was astonished."Be careful!" Eric warned, "They are very close to us! Close at hand!"He had studied the Catellonian shadow warriors. They were generally divided into seven ranks: ordinary, junior, intermediate, senior, expert, telluric, and transcendent.Among them, the ordinary shadow warriors were the weakest, while the transcendent shadow warriors were the strongest.The shadow warriors Eric had killed belonged to the senior rank, but he speculated that the transcendent shadow warriors were probably even stronger than legends back in Naturia. Face to face, a tra

"I know!" Eric raised his hand to block the window. "If you don't want to die, roll up the car windows!"Kurt's neck shrank as he hastily rolled up the windows. Though unsure if the car windows could withstand the attacks of shadow warriors, any form of defense was better than being exposed.Fortunately, Ruth returned. Blood stained her new short knives, and she was injured. There were blood streaks on her arm and thigh, the latter deeper and still bleeding."They're too many!" Ruth exclaimed. "Just now, three of them were ready to surround and kill me, but I managed to kill them first!"Eric glanced at Ruth. "Are you a tiger? If you died here, how would I explain to Big Boss? Get in the car!"Ruth sneered. "If you die here, how will I explain to Sylvia? If you dare, come back to the hotel, and I'll let you see for yourself!"Eric's voice turned serious. "Stop joking around at this time—"Before he could finish his sentence, several black shadows appeared not far away from them.

12 shadow warriors—3 slain by Ruth and 9 by Eric!As shadow warriors darted forth, Kurt's complexion turned pale as a ghost. He had no inkling that tonight would bring so many assailants upon them.Simultaneously, he witnessed Eric's terror-inducing prowess. How could so many shadow warriors fail to harm Eric? It was terrifying!In hindsight, Kurt's attempt to have Eric killed seemed ludicrous.These highly trained assassins couldn't lay a finger on Eric.Emerging from the darkness, Eric exuded an aura of death.Ruth had never seen Eric like this before. Evidently, he had grown stronger and more formidable.Ruth even wondered, 'If Eric were to turn criminal… Who could stop him? How many more would die if the Combat Department intervened? Who could defeat such a forceful Eric?'My mentor? Or perhaps, my mentor's mentor Neither seem capable?!'Yet, Eric swiftly regained his composure.Kurt rolled down the car window. "M-Mr. Johnson, is it... is it done?"His voice trembled.Al

The 12 shadow warriors Chuck had sent out were all dead! Not a single one had survived! Chuck's men were quite capable, managing to retrieve the bodies!The 12 corpses lay before Chuck, his facial muscles twitching for a good while. It was mainly the deaths of these 12 top-notch shadow warriors that astounded him.A man approached."Sir, I've checked. Among the 12, three had their throats slit with sharp weapons, while the other nine..." He seemed to doubt life itself. "The other nine had their organs pulverized, yet their exteriors remained intact, even the telluric shadow warrior."Chuck didn't comprehend these details. "What caused it?"The man explained, "Preliminary assessment suggests that there's a formidable expert within Kurt's team. It's said there exist masters in this world whose control over force has reached its peak."The force penetrates from outside and damages internally, leading to the pulverization of their organs! With such an expert protecting Kurt, even t

In the early morning.Ruth had considerably recovered. Eric suggested she rest at the hotel, but she insisted on accompanying them to Genome Inc.-Chuck had been waiting for them. He hadn't slept a wink all night, fully aware that he had messed things up.As they arrived, he ushered Kurt and the others into the company. Seeing that not a single person from the other side was harmed, his heart sank to the depths. All the people he had sent out were dead—the mission complete failure!"Everyone!" he addressed Kurt and the others. "After our urgent discussion, we've agreed to compensate according to your demands. We can arrange the compensation by today!"Kurt was taken aback!He had assumed it would take more effort today, and perhaps the compensation amount would need to be negotiated down a bit. He didn't expect Chuck to be so straightforward. All the explanations he had prepared were rendered useless!Kurt felt a bit frustrated. Chuck was really not playing by the rules!Chuc
