Eric and Frederick were both fast. Frederick anticipated Eric's intention to attack Lucas after their exchange of words. Thus, when Eric moved, Frederick did the same.As Eric punched at Lucas, Frederick sensed his actions and defended his son with his other hand.However, Vince was even faster, determined not to let Frederick harm Eric in any way. Everything unfolded in the blink of an eye.Eric knocked Lucas over, who cried out in pain. Eric also had to fend off Frederick, aware that he had to use restraint, or he could have seriously hurt Lucas.Behind Eric, Vince and Frederick engaged in a swift fistfight. They exchanged blows before simultaneously stepping back.Vince casually brushed off where Frederick had struck him and smirked. "Looks like you're truly the Pettersons' top fighter."Frowning, Frederick asked, "Who are you?"He had never imagined that Eric had such a formidable ally. From their recent exchange, it was evident that Vince's skills matched his own.What w

Roland might have offered his daughter to Eric to maintain his influence in Dortmund City. Valerie gazed at Eric with bitterness. She had overheard his hurtful words moments ago, which left her heartbroken.In contrast, Roland appeared indifferent. He turned to Frederick and stated, "Might makes right. I didn't anticipate you hiding so well, Frederick. Nonetheless, I've embraced my fate ever since I ventured into the underworld."Afterward, he shifted his attention to Eric and implored, "Mr. Johnson, whether I live or die is unimportant. Please ensure Valerie's safety."Eric nodded.Observing this, Frederick laughed heartily. "Still claiming you don't care? Eric, today I'll give you a chance!""Go ahead!" Eric replied coldly.He wasn't sure of Frederick's intentions, but he understood that Frederick currently held the upper hand. His indifferent treatment of the Draco family was a precaution against Frederick using them as leverage.Frederick had his own considerations. He ack

Everyone watched the fight closely, and Vince was no exception. He was ready to step in if Eric showed signs of losing. He knew well that Frederick would likely go back on his promises if the situation turned against him.Frederick's main goal was to drag Eric down with him. However, Vince was more worried that Eric might be unable to defeat Frederick.Frederick stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular body.Eric launched a series of quick attacks, only to realize that Frederick had an excellent defense. His punches to Frederick's shoulders didn't do much damage.Eric was aware that every fighter had a vulnerable point, but he didn't know where Frederick's was. For now, he had to keep fighting and search for that weakness."Hahaha!" Frederick laughed loudly after taking a few hits from Eric. "I can keep this up all day! You've made a terrible mistake by challenging me!"Eric furrowed his brow as he looked at Frederick's throat. It appeared that Frederick was also testing

Lucas gazed at Frederick in sheer disbelief. Only now did he understand why his father had abstained from intimate relationships for over 20 years.Initially, he believed it was because his father had lost such desires after his mother's death or out of unwavering loyalty. However, he never expected the truth to be like this.Vince's expression grew serious. All men had the same vulnerability, but he never anticipated that Frederick would go to such extreme lengths as to remove that area."Mr. Eric! Target his eyes!" Vince shouted once more.This marked the first time Eric encountered a fighter as defensively skilled as Frederick. His only option was to focus on Frederick's weak points.Eric nodded at Vince's reminder, fully aware that Frederick would be guarding his eyes. To defeat Frederick, he had to catch him off guard."Mr. Eric, concentrate your attacks on a specific area! No matter how skilled he is at defending, he won't hold on for much longer if you keep targeting the s

"Hahaha!" Frederick spat out blood and burst into laughter. "Keep the promise? What are you talking about? Kill Roland and Valerie!"Eric and Vince knew he had never intended to keep his promise from the beginning. Thus, Vince had seized the opportunity to approach the Draco family during their intense battle.As Frederick reneged on his words, Vince sprang into action. He incapacitated the guards overseeing Roland and Valerie with a swift palm strike."Damn it!" Frederick shouted. "Why does it have to involve my family?"With these words, he strode toward Lucas."Dad..." Lucas' voice trembled. "You don't have to do this! We can sell our family assets and move to another country! We can start anew!"Despite the Pettersons' near bankruptcy, they still possessed enough assets for a modest life."Lucas…" Frederick said, tears welling up in his eyes. "You're right. We can start fresh."Hunching over, he pushed the wheelchair to take Lucas inside. Seeing this, Eric felt relief. Alth

When Eric emerged, Valerie and Roland departed."What did she ask you?" Brook asked.Tiger chuckled and replied, "She asked if Mr. Johnson is married. I told her that he is married and deeply in love with his wife. I also mentioned that the scars on his face were self-inflicted out of love for her."Brook was rendered speechless and glanced at Eric, failing to discern any particular charm. He also felt Eric was less appealing in terms of appearance.Tiger sighed. "I didn't expect Frederick to kill his own son. He's truly finished this time. His family was once Dortmund City's most powerful force. Once people see the light, they don't want to return to darkness. He lacks the courage to face the dark days ahead, so he chose to kill his son first and then commit suicide."Brook nodded. "You're right. If I were in his shoes, I'd do the same."Robert headed out of the police station, saying, "It's getting late. We'll return to Salt City tomorrow morning. But first, let me make one thi

In Dortmund City, at the Petterson manor.Darkness shrouded the once grand estate, casting an aura of desolation upon it.A man sat on the steps, his mouth greedily consuming wine.Today, he had hurried back from Salt City only to receive heart-wrenching news: his younger brother had been slain by their father, who had then taken his life in jail out of remorse.Kenneth lacked the specifics of the tragedy, but he knew others were implicated. At that moment, he felt utterly defeated.In just two days in Salt City, he had lost two family members and the family business in a single, devastating blow. His grief and the uncertain future left him lost.He reached for the wine bottle, aiming to drown his sorrows.A large hand seized the bottle as he raised it, and a faint voice reached his ears. "If you don't pull yourself together and seek justice for your father and brother, they'll never find peace! I know who's behind your family's suffering. I can help you exact revenge!"Kenneth

Melinda placed her hands on their faces. "W-What happened?" Melinda couldn't imagine the pain Eric and Sylvia must have endured. Who could commit such a cruel act? Sylvia, so young and beautiful, must have suffered greatly.As a woman herself, Melinda knew a woman's greatest worry was her beauty, and her face was its reflection.Eric summoned a smile and gently wiped away her tears. "Mom, we're okay. It doesn't hurt."He had only visited Melinda after settling his issues with the Pettersons.Melinda's reaction was just as he expected. She cried endlessly, feeling that fate had been unkind to her family.Her health required monthly medication, her husband had a severe car accident in his sixties, and her daughter was raising two sons alone. She had hoped her son would have a happy family, only to face this tragedy."Why is fate so unfair?" Melinda lamented, resenting its cruelty.
