Chapter 1727
The conference did not progress as Themos had planned and envisioned.He had vastly underestimated the workers' thirst for wealth.This was entirely understandable.Wealthy families could easily realize their ideals and ambitions under the comfort of their riches. However, those from impoverished backgrounds prioritized basic necessities. Most of them just wanted to earn more money, ideally achieving financial freedom before even thinking about ideals and ambitions.After all, this world had far more poor people.When wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few, more impoverished individuals would strive relentlessly to attain it. There was nothing wrong with pursuing wealth in itself.Themos never anticipated things would develop this way. It was completely unfavorable for him!He intended to tarnish the Innova Group's reputation, but the public had sharp eyes. They could discern what was truly good or bad.Sam glanced at Themos, whose face was dark, and smiled brightly. 'Th
Chapter 1728
Faced with so many people, Themos didn't dare to lose his temper.Donald frowned and asked, "Mr. Ford, is this really happening?"He hoped that the two companies could engage in fair competition in Salt City without resorting to stealing technology and causing a scene.Regarding the incident where Sam was stabbed, Donald had no knowledge of it. He was also unaware of Frontier Tech stealing technology from Frontier Digital—this was the first time he was hearing about it.Such issues usually didn't arise out of nowhere. If Sam dared to speak out, he must have been prepared to confront Themos.However, Themos didn't dare respond. He had assumed the issue was long gone and didn't want to bring it up. Now, with Sam bringing it up, his face turned grim.The conference was now spiraling out of Themos' control.He angrily left, saying, "If this is how it’s going to be, you can play by yourselves! I'm not playing along anymore!"Supposedly discussing workers' welfare, and now you're tal

Eric listened to the entire situation. Currently, the group of old experts was still quarantined at King City Airport, being treated with the best food and care every day. Some people hoped they could return to make some contributions. However, considering their age, if they intended to contribute, they would have done so already. Why wait until now?After hearing everything, Eric asked, "So, what is your goal, Big Boss?"He already understood Pierce's intentions. He didn't want these people to return, but in his position, he couldn't say it outright. Thus, he left Eric to be the bad guy.Pierce sighed. "To put it nicely, they're experts. To put it bluntly, who are they?"When they had the capability, they didn't return. Now that the country is peaceful and they're nearly at retirement age, they want to come back?"Heh, there's no such good fortune!"Eric nodded repeatedly. "Alright, I understand. I'll go over there and take a look tomorrow."Seeing that Pierce had no other in

"Life and death are in the hands of God, and riches are a gift from above. If someone's time is up, it’s not on us," the old man said.Upon hearing this, Eric became displeased. 'These old geezers clearly don't care about the lives of their fellow countrymen.'The Combat Department's quarantine measures were highly effective, but if the virus spread, who knew how many people would perish?However, Eric didn't show his anger. Instead, he asked, "Sir, have all your people returned? Are there any more coming back? If there are, we need to be prepared to receive them."Hearing this, the old man laughed and pointed at Eric. "Young man, you are quite considerate!"There are no more of our people coming back, but many others like us are eager to return. If we establish a foothold here, they will surely follow!"Eric understood. These old men were just the vanguard. More people would return, regardless of their nationality, as long as they had connections here. "Heh!" Eric stood up.

At King City Airport, even the duty officers belonged to the Combat Department.When the two men entered, the crowd immediately pointed at Eric."It's him! They didn't say anything, and he started barking wildly, criticizing everything!"He wants to create chaos here and spread the virus! His intentions are heinous!"The two Combat Department officers had no idea that Eric had already arrived. Judging by his attire, he appeared to be medical personnel. Such a person risking their life to come here was indeed worthy of respect. However, this did not grant him a license to act recklessly.They looked at Eric, while the rest sneered."Arrogant fool, untouched by society's harsh realities.""How dare he behave like this here!""He must be severely punished to quell public anger!"Eric glanced at the old men. "You people consider yourselves the public?"As he spoke, he removed his protective suit.The two new arrivals were shocked."Lieutenant General Johnson! What are you doing
Chapter 1732
People were always afraid of death, especially accomplished older individuals. They feared it even more. In the academic and scientific communities, they held considerable status. Wherever they went, people revered them, and they wanted to enjoy such days a little longer."Without borders? Homeland?" Eric sneered. "Who told you that science knows no borders? When the Innova Group was blacklisted by the three major international companies, why didn’t anyone tell us that science knows no borders?"And about the great contributions you claim to have made to scientific research—sorry, I don’t see it. No one in Naturia sees it either. Those contributions were made for your own country. What does that have to do with us?"In my view, you are a bunch of disrespectful, unkind, and unjust old folks! During these times, I think you should go back and stand with your country, live or die!"Follow the procedures, deport them!"If they were not citizens of this country, they would have no reas

Public opinion could be terrifying. Once something spread, few people would know the truth, and even fewer would understand what was truly hidden behind it.Distortion of facts and blurring of right and wrong were commonplace. When interests were involved, things were rarely pure, especially when lives were at stake. Without a safe environment, it was often a matter of life and death.Thus, those old experts wanted to manipulate public opinion. They planned to use its pressure to force their way back. Their calculations were clear.Many people wanted to return but couldn't. Having someone take the lead was advantageous for them. They could use this opportunity to stir things up. If it worked, everyone could return together. Naturia was safe—no virus, peaceful and harmonious—truly a paradise on earth!How dangerous was it abroad? One slip and you could catch the virus—the odds of dying were high!Eric and Sylvia glanced at the so-called public opinion and understood the implication

Eric smiled. "Uncle Alexander, why worry about this? To be honest, I was the one who had them deported."Alexander was taken aback. He then remembered Sylvia asking Eric if he had finished his business earlier. So, it was this matter that Eric was handling!There was oversight after all!He said, "It's not just this. Public opinion also needs to be managed. These scoundrels love to create negative images of us, and it's infuriating!"Eric nodded repeatedly. The Combat Department would not let this slide.Soon, the Combat Department issued a statement through other departments, revealing the old experts' identities. They were deported for illegal entry, and there was nothing wrong with that!After this was settled, Alexander looked at Eric and Sylvia with curiosity. "Did you really develop a special vaccine? I heard they used your vaccines at the airport's quarantine area..."He knew Eric had inherited Orion's expertise. But the virus was a problem that foreign countries couldn't
