The other party quickly gave an answer. "Fine. Should the traps be lethal or nonlethal?"
Murphy thought for a moment. He was not about to get anyone killed and make things impossible to clean up. "Nonlethal."
After hanging up, Murphy Apparated from the restroom to the warehouse and put away all the potions, ensuring the Aurors would not obtain direct evidence.
He then returned to Umbrella Corporation and had the purchasing department remove those two shell companies from the supplier list.
Once he had finished all that, the ambulance arrived.
Patrick had the ambulance take Jennifer away and was about to follow when he received a call.
After hanging up, Patrick looked grim. "Boss, we've got another big problem."
Murphy was still considering how to transport potions more safely in the future. Hearing Patrick's words, he frowned. "What problem?"
"Scotland Yard just called and told us to come in for questioning. MI5 somehow received intelligence claiming that we're involved in activities threatening national security. They're planning to hold a hearing in a few days."
"What?" Murphy was stunned. "Umbrella Corporation is threatening national security?"
This Umbrella was not that Umbrella. They were not researching zombie viruses. Their only products so far were the medicinal White Medicine and some cosmetics. What did any of that have to do with national security?
"Yes. They specifically demanded that you be present."
Murphy's frown deepened. He had a vague feeling that this probably had something to do with those Aurors.
"What evidence do they have?"
Patrick shook his head. "We don't know yet. I'll make a few calls."
A while later, Patrick returned, his face deathly pale. "I have a friend at Scotland Yard. He told me this could be serious. The order MI5 received came directly from 10 Downing Street!"
10 Downing Street,
