"Oh no!" After a brief sprint, the complexion Eric's subordinatw changed abruptly. "Lieutenant General Johnson, there's a roadblock ahead. They're ready to intercept us!""Change the route!" Eric didn't hesitate.In moments like these, time was of the essence. A delay of a few seconds could easily result in an interception by the Catellonian authorities and forces.Obviously, that transcendent shadow warrior held terrifying influence within Catellon, capable of mobilizing such forces.Eric dialed Sylvia's number, relieved to hear that they had already set sail. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had prepared for the worst."Listen up!" He addressed his subordinate, "Smith has completely lost his combat capabilities. If we can't shake them off later, I'll create an opportunity. You take Smith and head out to the sea. Make sure to get him onto our warship!"The subordinate knew just how important Smith was. He simply nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.-

"Lieutenant General Johnson, steady the course a bit, I'm going to use laser guidance for the strike," said his subordinate.Upon hearing this, Eric slowed down the pace. Several missiles flew past overhead, causing chaos among the pursuers behind."Hahaha! That was exhilarating!" shouted his subordinate, taking over Eric's position.With a few missiles launched, both the blockade and the pursuers disappeared.Eric and his companion swiftly reached the dock and boarded a speedboat, racing toward the depths of the ocean.Eric finally breathed a sigh of relief. With friendly warships patrolling the waters, they were essentially safe at sea.Before long, they could see escort helicopters and flares fired from the warship.Eric and his subordinate boarded with Smith. He handed Smith over to the crew on the warship, saying, "This guy has two broken ribs, but no internal injuries. Treat him and make sure to secure him tightly!"Smith was a formidable fighter. Although he couldn't mat

"This matter needs a thorough explanation from you, or I'll dismiss you from your position!" The argument erupted immediately.Pierce remained silent.Those on his side spoke up. "Dismiss him? Do you have the authority? Do you not know who appointed Pierce as the General of the Combat Department? It's not within your jurisdiction to remove him!""You— Someone pointed at Pierce, their finger trembling, "13 cruise missiles! Misfire? How could there be so many misfires? This is tantamount to declaring war! We're striving for economic development, can we afford a war? Do we have enough resources for that?!"Pierce remained silent, not bothering to engage in the argument. He knew who stood with him and who opposed him. He wouldn't target those with dissenting opinions.After all, in a large team, diverse perspectives were essential. Contradictory views were necessary for making the most informed decisions. If a team only had one voice, it would be tantamount to dictatorship. And di

As silence engulfed the room, Pierce spoke up. "I know some folks back home might have weak spines, some of you might even be among them! But in our department, we can't afford to be weak!"Of course, I consider spinelessness a disease. Luckily, we have excellent doctors in our department. Perhaps they can cure your weak spines. Whoever wants treatment, speak up. I'll ensure it happens!"A chill ran down someone's spine!Was that even a cure? Who dared to speak up for treatment?!Someone immediately chimed in. "Heh, General Fischer is mighty, boosting our national pride!" Although they might have wanted to take down Pierce, he wasn't someone they could handle. In fact, he had the power to turn the tables on them!Glancing at the time, Pierce remarked, "It's late, everyone should rest. You don't need to worry about the cruise missiles' launch. We will handle this matter with Catellon."People started to rise.Now they understood why Pierce had ordered the cruise missile's launc

Smith was also brought down.Breaking a couple of ribs might have been a minor affair for him, but he could no longer make any waves.Pierce glanced at Smith, waving his hand. "Take him back to King City. Once we return, immediately initiate his trial!"Smith struggled, but the two men restraining him weren't to be trifled with, locking his hands and causing him unbearable pain.He glared at Eric. "You killed Catellon's elite shadow warrior, a member of the Luminous! They will come after you sooner or later!"Eric remained silent.Meanwhile, Pierce kicked Smith. "Worry about yourself! I'll settle the score with you first! Take him away!"-At King City.Pierce personally arranged a reception for Eric and his companions.Sylvia asked, "Big Boss, what is this Luminous?"Setting down his glass, Pierce explained, "Unlike the Crimson Order, the Luminous is an organization many are aware of. From what we know, both the Luminous and the Crimson Order are essentially the same, aimin

The days of Eric and Sylvia quickly returned to normal. For the couple, those were all things they ought to do, nothing to boast about.-Back home, Sylvia cradled Yvette in her arms.Amelia earnestly advised, "Taking care of Yvette is my responsibility since both of you are busy with important matters!"Amelia felt gratified.What if Sylvia was a girl? The tasks she performed might not be any less significant than those of men!Looking at the four siblings in the family now, Sylvester, the eldest, and Sylvia, the youngest, stood out as the most promising. Sylvia had indeed brought honor to the Williams family."Let me take care of Yvette. You guys should go to work," Amelia said, looking at Sylvia. "The Innova Group can only thrive under your leadership, after all."Sylvia said, "Mom, there's no need for my leadership. The Innova Group is already very stable. Revenue is increasing every year, even every quarter. Everything's fine."Amelia insisted that she go to work.Andy a

Eric handed the phone back to Lora. "Could there be someone else like me in Catellon?" His suspicion of Lora intensified. How else could she have acquired these photos? Logically, such images wouldn't linger online for long—they'd be promptly removed.Lora grinned. "Mr. Johnson, don't try to mislead me. I've checked with Cody and Max. They confirmed you've recently been abroad."I assume you were on a covert mission. Otherwise, Catellon wouldn't have sent that compensation package, nor would this Smith fellow have faced justice."These matters were common knowledge in Naturia.Lora's admiration for Eric grew. She found him too enigmatic. Eric effortlessly resolved many seemingly insurmountable problems in just a day or two. This time, it was even more astonishing—he had headed straight to Catellon to apprehend people!During their conversation, Eric also messaged the Combat Department, requesting an investigation into Lora. He suspected her of espionage.Soon, the Combat Depart

Sylvia didn't elaborate on that statement, leaving Eric to ponder it on his own.-Back at the Williams residence, evening life consisted of taking care of the children, allowing Amelia to rest. After all, one couldn't let the grandmother be busy from dawn till dusk, could they?With a moment to spare, Amelia found it easier to have a chat.Approaching Sylvia, who was entertaining the children, Amelia glanced around to make sure they had privacy before speaking in a hushed tone. "Sylvia, please don't forget about Eric when you're caught up with work. I was concerned when he left for Catellon."Sylvia chuckled. "Mom, what are you worried about? Eric is quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have successfully brought Smith back for trial."Amelia gave Sylvia a knowing look. "That's not what I mean. You wouldn't understand as an insider, but I'm well aware. For women, youth spans from 18 to 30, maybe a bit high till 36 or 37. But once they've had children, it's downhill. However, for
