"Shit! Those damned thieves! Those are our results!"
"That bastard stole our invention!"
"If it weren't for the company, I should have been the one publishing papers and releasing products! Me! Damn the Star Sea Group! Damned thieves!"
As the Star Sea Group's product launch concluded successfully, the group shot to fame, becoming a world-renowned technology powerhouse.
For the Star Sea Group and even the people of the Xia Kingdom, this was naturally a joyous achievement, but certain people felt quite differently.

As for the so-called mechanical spine and Epiphysis Reboot, others might not know, but people from the Andra Group could tell at a glance that these were clearly their own masterpieces as well.
At least two or three of the modifications in the so-called [Heavenly Soldier] series had come from their group's research!
Yet that was how the world worked: first impressions prevailed.
To conceal its strength, the Andra Group had always kept a low profile. Much of its research remained unpublished, and registering patents or publishing papers was even more out of the question.
Its black technology in particular had been difficult to disclose before this. First, there were concerns about the impact these advanced technologies would have. Second, their origins were hardly clean, making them difficult to explain if revealed.

Given the Andra Group's unscrupulous methods, these advanced biochemical technologies often came with extensive inhumane experimentation and ethical issues. If they actually revealed them, they might well face a reckoning themselves.
Now that the Star Sea
