"Last night, we conducted a surprise inspection of the Black Mountain Biotechnology Plant located in the north of the city."
"Unexpectedly, two high-ranking officials from the Fairness Society were lurking here."
"After more than an hour of fighting, the Inspection Team successfully subdued them and resolved a small beast tide caused by the Fairness Society."
"According to the investigation, the disease that has recently ravaged the city was caused by the abilities of one of these individuals."
"The murderer has been apprehended, and the city's disease has been cured."
" The Black Mountain Biotechnology plant has been sealed off. The Inspection Team is conducting further investigations into whether the company is harboring members of the Fairness Society."
"No matter when, no matter what happens, the people of Snow City can trust our Inspection Team..."
On the projection screen in the conference room, a press conference held by Captain Fang was being played.
In the spacious conference room, representatives from five companies— Black Mountain Biotechnology, United Machinery Manufacturing, General Military Technology, Earth Company, and Pan-Grain Reserves— were seated around a conference table.
A tall, slender middle-aged man in a black suit, with a " Black Mountain " insignia on his chest, turned off the projector and said to the four people present, "You've all seen the current situation in Snow City."
"Although it didn't leave the Inspection Team with much leverage, the Mobile Team will no longer be able to enter Snow City."
The representative from Earth Company dismissed the idea, saying, "Ice and snow have little development value anyway. It's just an experiment; if we lose, we lose."
The representative from United Machinery Manufacturing echoed, "What we should be more concerned about now is how to absorb the city defense forces in various places and bring them under our control."
The representatives from the other two companies remained silent.
The middle-aged man scoffed, "Idiot!"
"The city's garrison is entirely under the Military Department of the Military Department headquarters, which is located in the Northern Territory, in Snow City."
Do I need to teach you the principle of "capture the king first"?
"If we don't shake the Military Department first, we won't be able to take down the city's garrison."
The representative from Earth Company sneered, "So what?"
"Are you planning to send more Mobile Team to confront the Military Department head-on, or deepen your cooperation with those rats?"
"Are you afraid the Inspection Team hasn't got enough of us?"
A brief silence fell over the meeting room.
"Cough cough cough~"
After a moment, the representative of Military Technology coughed twice.
"There are other ways."
"We've made a new discovery recently in the Otherworld No. Zero."
"Perhaps it will come in handy."
The reactions of the people present varied.
Middle-aged people are as steady as Mount Tai.
The representative from the Machinery Manufacturing sat up slightly, seemingly showing some interest.
Representatives from Earth Company and Pan-Grain Reserves were shocked.
What did you find?
The representative from Earth Company couldn't wait to ask.
The middle-aged man said calmly, "Something about God."
The Pan-Grain Reserves representative frowned. "Which god?"
The middle-aged man fell silent.
The representative from Earth Company went straight to the point. "Stop beating around the bush, just say it, what do you want?"
The middle-aged man smirked. "The Chamber of Chamber of Commerce has the sole say."
"It's time to choose a leader."
"Gentlemen, this is an era of great upheaval."
"Our ship is sailing on a turbulent river; the strength of all the companies in the Chamber of Commerce needs to be united to fight against the undercurrents."
"And I will lead you to the other side."
The representative from Earth Company got up to leave the meeting room.
Just then, a powerful pressure suddenly descended upon him.
The representative from Earth Company turned pale instantly, his back soaked with cold sweat.
"I will go back and convey this message to the company's shareholders."
He gritted his teeth and said.
The representative from the Machinery Manufacturing raised his right hand. "I agree."
The representative from the Pan-Grain Reserves looked grim and did not comment.
The oppressive aura dissipated.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'm just informing you in advance that the Chamber of Commerce will hold a joint meeting in three days, at which time a vote will be taken."
"I hope you can take these three days to think carefully about your future."
He emphasized the word "future".
Representatives from Earth Company, Pan-Grain Reserves and Machinery Manufacturing left one after another.
"You're being a bit too hasty," the Military Technology representative said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out at the Sea Capital.
" Law Enforcement and the Military Department have already taken action."
We must strike first.
The Military Technology representative sighed, "Do you think they'll choose to submit when they go back?"
The middle-aged man scoffed, "If they don't want to maintain their dignity, I'll help them do so."
He straightened his clothes and then suddenly asked, "Has that old bastard from the Fairness Society made any moves lately?"
The Military Technology representative replied, "It's the same as always."
Downstairs at the Black Mountain Biotechnology Dasha.
The representative from Earth Company climbed into the Pan-Grain Reserves vehicle.
" The Otherworld No. Zero has always been developed by Black Mountain and Military Technology, and we are not allowed to interfere."
"The fact that the man surnamed Zhao is so blatantly baring his fangs at this meeting today means he must have discovered something extraordinary in this Otherworld."
"We must unite."
The representative from the Pan-Grain Reserves nodded slightly, signaling the driver to start the car.
"Come to my place to discuss this in detail."
In the chat group, several people were also discussing the morning's press conference held by the Inspection Team.
[ On the Slacking on the Sidelines: What's the point of investigating? The evidence is conclusive, just storm the company and take them down!]
[ Scholar: This pharmaceutical factory is just the smallest and most inconspicuous factory under the Black Mountain Company. They can absolve themselves of any responsibility by claiming it was the factory's doing.]
[ Scholar: And don't forget, the company has Level Nine Martial Artist ]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Five Level Nine Martial Artist, what a mess]
[ Yao Yuan: There are only two, Black Mountain Biotechnology and Machinery Manufacturing. The Level Nine Martial Artist in Machinery Manufacturing was injured in the Tide three years ago and hasn't shown up for a long time.]
Qin Ze had previously questioned the number of Level Nine Martial Artist in the company.
There are only a handful of Level Nine Martial Artist among the Human Race.
If the company owns half, there's no need for underhanded tactics; they can just flip the table and no one can stop them.
The claim that each of the five companies had a Level Nine Martial Artist in charge now appears to be just for publicity.
[ Scholar: I heard that Black Mountain and the Military Technology used to be one company, but later they split into two separate companies. Is that true?]
[ Yao Yuan: This did happen, but the reason is unknown]
Qin Ze rubbed his temples.
The company seems to be rife with problems.
Unfortunately, the Son of the Version is currently in Snow City.
If this were in Sea Capital, sending him directly to the confidential offices of various company headquarters would yield a lot of useful information.
[ Yao Yuan: The company is not a monolithic entity; it is united by interests, and it will eventually fall apart because of those interests.]
Qin Ze couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
The Human Race today, rife with intrigue and backstabbing, is arguably even more so than the Blue Flame Race of the past.
In the Local Area Network, the Dharma King said calmly, "How about we take a bite too?"
Qin Ze was speechless. "You really think this is like cutting a cake?"
After discussing company matters, Brother Yuanzi disappeared.
The Fairy remained silent, Slacking on the Sidelines became a key player in the chat group, vividly recounting the events of the previous night to the Taoist.
[ Deer Cry Yo-Yo: I've arrived in Snow City ~]
At this moment, the bubbling Little Deer suddenly caught Qin Ze's attention.
