America Federation.
TerraTech headquarters, Alaska.
In the center of the Supreme Conference Hall, there was a long white jade table.
There were three crystal chairs on each side, and although one of the six council members was missing, there were still six people present.
because……
A man sat in the head seat.
The person was wearing a half-white mask, which obscured half of their face from above, making it impossible to see what their right eye looked like.
On the fair mask, there was a black swirling pattern.
From a distance, it exudes a captivating and eerie aura, and its presence can be described as imposing without being angry.
He is the actual person in charge of TerraTech.
He is also the direct superior of the six board members and the sole chairman of Umbrella Corporation—Tara Els.
And just now...
The company learned that Charlie had been captured alive through the mechanical eye of the zombie giant.
This left the company, which had hoped to make a name for itself in Asia, feeling rebuffed, and the atmosphere at the summit was extremely quiet.
"..."
No one dared to express their opinions casually.
They were afraid of offending the stern and unsmiling chairman.
But the more they did this, the more terrifying the atmosphere became. It was as if all the air in the space had been sucked out, and a suffocating feeling arose spontaneously.
"how?"
"Charlie was captured alive, and they're all scared?"
Terra Els glanced at everyone, her tone devoid of any emotion.
But all five board members were sweating profusely. They knew they had no choice but to speak up. Sam Claire, the board member closest to the board, cautiously spoke up.
"Chairman, of course we are not afraid. TerraTech has been developing from the shadows to the light for a full ten years. Our foundation... is confident that it is no less than that of the Dawn Society."
"However, Zhang Hao's strength has exceeded our expectations. I think we need to reassess his true strength before making any other plans."
“Does that mean…we’re leaving Charlie aside for now?” Terra Els asked.
"That's right, how can we just ignore Charlie? Level 9 ability users are extremely valuable to us, and losing even one is a huge loss... We have to save him."
"Yes, and everyone needs to consider that the later we start the rescue... the easier it will be to leak intelligence. We must provide support as soon as possible."
Some people began to refute this.
This made Sam lose face.
As the company's most senior director, he cannot tolerate being challenged.
"But how do you plan to carry out the rescue? Send out even more zombie giants?"
Sam said with a disdainful look, "Didn't you see that even a level nine zombie giant was blown to pieces by that guy with one punch? Besides, the weakness of our zombie giants has already been exposed. Sending out more would just be a waste of resources."
"Or are you planning to go there in person? We'll suffer even greater losses on someone else's turf. We're already down one of the six directors; if we lose another... can the company continue to survive?"
"You're boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own!!"
George Wells said, "What is Dawn? If all six of our council members attack together—no, I mean all five of our council members attack together—and we send out hundreds of zombie giants, I don't believe Dawn can hold them off!"
"Charlie must be saved, for the company! For the chairman's sake!!"
"You! You're unreasonable!!"
"You're brainless!"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck you!!"
"..."
The two argued until their faces turned red.
They were among the first to join the company.
In terms of strength, they are among the top two of the six council members, but their personalities and ways of dealing with people are completely different, which inevitably leads to many conflicts between them.
And watching the two argue...
Terra Els just watched them, as if they were two monkeys putting on a show.
After arguing for a few moments using the word "Fuck," they ran out of words, exchanged a glance, and awkwardly sat back down.
"Why did you stop arguing? Keep arguing!"
Terra Els said calmly, "I don't care if you're putting on an act for me, but right now... I'm really into it, and if I don't tell you to stop, you can't stop."
"I'm sorry, Chairman..."
Sam was about to apologize.
Suddenly, his eyes met the chairman's for a moment.
Just like that...
Thump!
Sam knelt on the ground.
The veins on his neck and head were bulging, as if he was enduring intense pain, and he looked as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Sam let out a painful roar.
He couldn't help but tear his clothes to shreds, as if venting his emotions.
And that is...
Terra Ellis's powers!!
He can inflict pain on anyone with ease.
This level of pain far surpasses real-world torture methods; it can easily cause unbearable agony, yet it can also empower people amidst suffering.
The previous pain medication was the chairman's doing.
Or rather...
Most of the company's research achievements.
Including the zombie giant, it was all Terra Els's doing.
However, the fact that a single glance could make a Level 9 expert kneel and beg for mercy is merely the tip of the iceberg for the chairman; no one knows just how strong he truly is.
