Chapter 1512
As they stepped out of the car, there was nothing but the wind whispering through the silent streets, devoid of any human presence. The dim glow of the streetlights cast eerie shadows, and the rustling of branches echoed in the air.Robert pulled back the slide of his gun, flicked off the safety, and turned to Eric. "Mr. Johnson, are they really here?"Eric nodded. "They must be here. Our tire's been punctured, and besides, the atmosphere here..."Be cautious. Absolutely! Do not pursue the enemy!" He had learned his lesson in Catellon. Ruth, that fierce woman, had almost been ambushed when she chased after a few shadow warriors. If Ruth had died in Catellon, it would have caused quite a stir."It's a shame..." Robert sighed. "Our team lacks proper equipment. If only we had night vision goggles."In the midst of pitch darkness, Robert stood beneath the lamplight, vigilant against potential threats. However, no sign of danger emerged, just the silhouette of a figure stumbling along

Several sounds of breaking air echoed.It was Robert's turn to demonstrate. He raised the submachine gun in his hand and squeezed the trigger a few times in succession.The bullets hit several flying knives and fell to the ground."Robert, impressive!" Eric couldn't help but admire him.Robert's skill was quite remarkable—three flying knives, three bullets, each shot hitting its mark! Such precision was rare nationwide.Targeting a moving object wasn't difficult. The real challenge lay in hitting the mark and then swiftly moving on to the next, and the next after that!Graciously accepting Eric's praise, Robert smiled. "Just rapid aiming and shooting, basic training."Eric knew Robert was being modest. However, Robert also felt somewhat frustrated. "If it weren't for regulations, I'd empty these magazines into these trees to see where they're hiding!"He noticed the flying knives coming from the treetops, shrouded by dense foliage, making them difficult to spot. Although he car

Robert took a deep breath, sensing the danger lurking in the night.It seemed that the shadow warriors, aware of Eric's prowess, had halted their assault.Robert was about to call for backup when suddenly, the fog rolled in. It was peculiarly thick, and visibility dropped to just a few meters within moments."This fog..." Robert frowned. While fog in the mountains was common, such dense fog in Salt City was unusual."Back to back!" Eric knew this was the work of the shadow warriors. Their methods were even more diverse than he had imagined. While the fog didn't affect Eric, it greatly hindered Robert.Back to back, Robert primed the trigger!He took a deep breath. "Mr. Johnson... I saw a shadow pass by..."Faced with this situation, he felt a twinge of panic. Despite his military experience and rich investigative background, this was uncharted territory."Use your pistol!" Eric advised. "The fog obscures vision. Who knows if they'll bring your subordinates here? What if you acc

"I must admit, I'm a bit curious. With all the turmoil in Catellon, and you being a highly regarded shadow warrior, why leave the situation there to come here and attempt to kill me?" Silence ensued. Not even a whisper filled the air.But in the next moment—the sound of rattling iron chains echoed.Eric's ears perked up as he swiftly turned, simultaneously reaching out to grasp a dangling iron chain. Tethered to one end was a sickle, a classic weapon of the shadow warrior, though utterly futile against Eric.He seized the chain, looping it around his wrist before stepping back with force, yanking it harshly! As he reeled in the chain, Eric delivered a powerful punch!A resounding thud reverberated, hitting a soft mass. The force of his blow dispersed the fog ahead, revealing the female shadow warrior.His movements were lightning-fast. After retracting his fist, he plucked two silver needles from his garments and hurled them in her direction.The silver needles disappeared into

Robert's face paled entirely. He had been sitting in the car, on high alert. He had assumed that the guns would handle the female shadow warrior. Yet, before he could even draw the trigger, he was overtaken.Having weathered many storms, he shouted, "Mr. Johnson, don't mind me! Kill him!" Before he could finish speaking, blood trickled down his neck.Eric quickly raised his hand, eyeing the shadow warrior. "What do you want? Your leader is dead. Do you think you still stand a chance?"The shadow warrior glanced behind Eric, visibly startled.A transcendent shadow warrior had been slain in Salt City!His mind went blank.A transcendent shadow warrior was their legend—their heaven. Yet, she was now lying there, growing cold.It was in that moment of his stupor that a silver needle flew, piercing his forehead.The shadow warrior's eyes widened, and then he collapsed.Robert gasped for air. He didn't want to die.What he had said earlier was to deny the shadow warrior any chance.
Chapter 1517
Several shadow warriors lay dead, their fate sealed within the confines of the scene.Robert would handle what he could, but if matters escalated beyond his purview, the Combat Department would assume control.Upon tallying the casualties, five Catellonians had fallen, including the esteemed female shadow warrior. Only one had survived, whisked away to the hospital.Swiftly, rescue teams arrived and commenced their search and recovery efforts.Recalling the ordeal, Robert couldn't help but break into a sweat. It was evident that their assailants had intended to intercept Eric at this precise location. While their endeavor had failed, the chilling intent lingered.Robert couldn't shake the thought that had an ordinary soul stumbled upon this scene, they would have likely met their demise this very night.Yet, Eric had managed to turn the tide, an unexpected twist in the tale.He had witnessed the lifeless bodies, two with needles piercing their necks, claiming them instantly, whi

Seeing Eric again, Lora was quite pleased.Robert didn't bother much either. Eric's actions last night made him realize that Eric was no ordinary person.After all, how many wealthy people, high-ranking officials, and affluent individuals didn't indulge in multiple relationships? Besides, even Sylvia didn't say much, so what could he say?"To shattering such a massive conspiracy!" Robert raised his glass. "Everyone deserves credit! Here's to us!"There would definitely be commendations and reports, and Robert was aiming to be recognized for his leadership. He had taken out all those shadow warriors. Solving such a huge espionage case and wiping out the enemy entirely was a significant achievement!There would certainly be follow-up cases involving others, like who approved the schools, who took bribes, and so on. It all required Robert and the relevant departments to investigate slowly. The burden on him was indeed heavy.After finishing his drink, Robert poured himself another.

Alvarez squinted. "I understand now. Eric established the Innova Group, bringing tremendous benefits to the local economy of Salt City. The authorities surely favor him!"Conventional methods won't work on him anymore. This is his home turf!"We're not investing in business anymore. It's too costly. The family has devised another plan.""W-What plan?" Roco swallowed hard.Thoughts raced through his mind. 'When will it end? If this continues, nobody will ever return to the family… We'll be stuck in Salt City forever!'Yet Alvarez didn't disclose the Hernandez family's plan to him. Apparently, Roco's status wasn't sufficient!Roco felt aggrieved!Just because he was imprisoned for the shortest time, they didn't trust him? What a joke!He couldn't be bothered to ask further.'If you don't tell me, I won't participate! When the time comes, it won't be me who gets caught.'You want me to join the action? Ha! I'll feign illness! Isn't a stomachache good enough?'Roco felt that no
