Chapter 397 The Ending in the Rain and Crying
The raindrops slowly fell, forming fine lines that were broken in the night wind. In the dim light, Git repeatedly beat the man in front of him, but repeatedly asked people to heal him, because he wanted to know the whereabouts of the patent information from him. Although he seemed to have the upper hand, at this moment, he was like a person who had lost everything, full of fragility, powerlessness and pain.
Without finding the patent information, everything that Ixelle had paid before would be in vain. Even if the man in front of him died, as long as the patent of 'Cosides' was still there, the other family could immediately support a blood-related heir with the help of the power of the Saint Ingo camp and continue it. At that time, because of launching a patent war, the main members of 'Ixelle' would be imprisoned by the Tribunal, and most of the company's property would be confiscated.
"Enough, he won't tell." An old man who looked like Git came over and pressed Git's shoulders.
Seeing this old man, the Ixelle employees present also lowered their heads in shame.
"Mr. Ravens..." He is the current ruler of Ixelles and the father of Imi. Although he is only in his 50s, he looks very old.
Behind Ravens, a girl with long beige hair also walked out slowly. She looked around with a lost and sad look, looking at the dead and seriously injured people wailing on the ground. It
was all her fault. If it weren't for her credulity, none of this would have happened.
"He is just seeking death and delaying time. You don't need to ask anymore, Git." Ravens patted Git's shoulder, his voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because of physical discomfort, he did not command the battle on the front line until he arrived at the battlefield at this time.
Looking at the ruins around him, the twisted "Cosides" sign, and the charred burn marks and bloodstains all around, Ravens sighed silently.
"Why do you do this, Halton." The Halton he mentioned was the name of the old man who fell to the ground in front of him.
Hearing this call, the bruised and extremely weak old man slowly opened his eyes and saw the figure in front of him clearly.
"Oh, it's you, Ravens." The voice was filled with mixed emotions, as if he was missing someone, and seemed full of regrets.
"It's me. It's past midnight now, and everything is over. Are you still unwilling to tell me why you did this?" Ravens slowly squatted down and looked at the old acquaintance in front of him.
"Kayo and Imi are still children. I know his character. Although he is a little introverted, he is still a very kind and optimistic child. Otherwise, I would not agree to let Imi marry him. Such a child would not deceive Imi for no reason."
"Introverted? That's cowardly!" Hearing this adjective, Halton slapped the ground, splashing some mud and sewage, as if he felt mocked.
"It's a shame that I have such a timid son." The old man seemed very dissatisfied, and then suddenly laughed.
"But he is indeed very obedient. Yes, I asked him to deceive Imi. What do you think? Do you think that people who are usually honest and kind are particularly good at deceiving others?"
"You killed him." Ravens spoke slowly.
"Yes, but so what? Compared to the family, sacrificing him is nothing. With your family's patent information, combined with the technology of 'Cosides' itself, we will be able to survive well in the future, and we may even replace 'Gray Mountain Rock' and become the first water purification system provider in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region."
"You know, whether it is Ades who wants to reform or Saint Ingo who wants to maintain the status quo, our industry is indispensable, and such opportunities are not always available."
"The rise of every giant enterprise is accompanied by the surging trend and tide of the times. Such historical opportunities are hard to come by."
"Even so, if our two families cooperate, when Imi and Kayo have children in the future, Cosides and Ixelle may not be able to merge into one, so why do you take such a risk." Ravens continued.
"Merge? No, no, you will not pass the position to Imi, but only to Imi's brother, because he is more outstanding and has his own ideas, and he is older than Imi and has already established a reputation in the company."
'When Imi and Kayo's children grow up, then what? Let Imi's brother transfer the company to his nephew? Do you think the trust between the siblings can reach this level? '
"No, her brother will also have his own children and family. Even if the sisters gradually separate after adulthood and set up families with each other, they are still outsiders after all." Halton does not believe in this kind of family affection.
"Only if Imi's brother dies, all this can happen." Halton said.
"So, is this the reason why you poisoned... Alas." Ravens sighed.
The rainy night became quiet again. Both parties stopped talking at this moment. At this point, there seemed to be nothing to say.
After a few minutes of silence, Ravens finally spoke again.
"Where is Kayo?"
"Him, I asked him to hide in a safe place with the patent information." Halton, lying on the ground, smiled slightly. In the end, he won this game.
After hearing the answer he wanted, Ravens stopped asking and called the accompanying technical officer.
"Have you found Kayo?"
"The hired 'Two-Colored Butterfly' office staff are searching with all their strength, and there are already clues." The technical officer answered confidently.
'Double Color Butterfly' is a well-known firm, backed by the giant company 'Soul Guiding Butterfly'. They have special technical singularities for finding soul traces, searching, healing soul pain, and resurrecting dead souls. It is an extremely mysterious company.
Seeing that Ravens was still contacting the people from the 'Double Color Butterfly' firm, Halton, who was lying on the ground, looked puzzled, but soon figured something out. He struggled to stand up, twisted his head, and looked at the screen of the building in the rain in the distance. The time displayed on it was [23:37].
"You actually lied to me!?" He was so angry that his body was almost shaking.
"Yes, Halton, you are really easy to trust others." Ravens replied with his original words.
Patting Halton on the shoulder, Ravens turned and left. This old man was no longer valuable. As long as Kayo was found, everything would turn around.
—————
In the dark underground passage, the specially made doors that were closed layer by layer locked the place from the outside world. Only the orange emergency lights were on, illuminating the unchanging environment under the surveillance.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind the gate. The solid special steel plate bulged, and some debris and dust fell off. Then there was another loud noise, and then a sharp corner protruded, revealing the sharp emerald blade inside.
The light blade tore at the solid gate, and sparks and debris burst out from the interface. Soon after, a gap appeared, and then it was kicked open, widening the torn gap.
A line of fighters in emerald exoskeleton armor rushed into the passage. They waved the light blades on their arms, constantly tearing the gate in front of the passage, and rushed forward quickly.
In this way, the layers of isolated gates and walls were broken, and then the fully armed "Isher" fighters poured in. Under the protection of the rear personnel, a girl also stepped into the safety facility deep underground.
The noise from outside made the boy in the deepest part of the underground facility restless. He paced back and forth nervously, and his expression changed several times. Bitterness, regret, sadness, despair, fear, and other emotions emerged. Not far in front of him, a dozen soldiers wearing dark blue exoskeleton armor were ready, their eyes fixed on the breakthrough nodes displayed on the screen.
"They are coming." One of them whispered.
Hearing this, the boy finally closed his eyes and stopped, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and looked at the time.
"Fifteen minutes left."
"For 'Cosides.'" The combatants present shouted.
"For 'Cosides.'" The others repeated.
Two minutes later, the door of this underground safe house was blown open by the explosion, and teams of people in emerald exoskeleton armor poured in. In the narrow space, bullets flew, lightsabers slashed and collided, and various explosions continued. Sitting in the protective cover protected by orange metal glass, Kayo watched the battle in front of him nervously. His own personnel and the autonomous units left behind died and were eliminated one by one in the fierce battle until there were no more resistance personnel from 'Cosides' in the room.
It was 23:50 at this time, and there were still 10 minutes before everything ended.
Sparks flew, and the solid defense isolation cover was cut open. Then several gun barrels were pointed at the 18-year-old boy, letting him walk out slowly.
The room became quiet. Not long after, a girl with long beige hair also entered here under the protection of the personnel. She looked at Kayo, who was in a mess and had blood on his face, and ran over with a worried look on her face.
"Are you okay, Kayo?" Yimi groped the lover of the same age in front of him, worried and sad.
"It's okay... Yimi." Looking at the girl in front of him, the boy's voice was bitter and complicated. The more surprised he was that the girl still liked him, the more sad he was that their relationship could not be turned back.
"...I'm sorry." He said with a choked voice.
"..." Yimi hugged him and buried his head in his chest. He didn't say anything, but Kayo vaguely felt that he was crying.
At this moment, the Ixier fighters in the room still pointed their guns at Kayo who raised his hand. One of the captains reminded him.
"Second Miss, time is running out."
After hearing this, Yimi reluctantly raised his head, and touched the chin of the boy in front of him with his slightly cold fingers, stroking slowly. The other party couldn't bear to see the girl's sad expression and closed his eyes.
Two minutes later, two Ixelles fighters grabbed Imi's wrist and helped her back step by step. Then the human wall blocked the two again, and the black muzzles of the guns were pointed at the desperate boy.
"The patent information is in the secret lock AI behind me. The key is Imi's HA gene fragment." Finally, Kayo still said the key to open the secret lock AI.
"Quick!" After hearing what he wanted, a technical officer immediately ordered, and then several fighters pulled Kayo out, cleared the road and space, and then took the high-level AI they carried, put down the metal box, and then connected to the secret lock AI in the black cube in the protective cover.
"I'm sorry, second lady."
A technical officer in a white coat took out a blood collection device and asked the girl to press her finger on it. Then a little blood was sucked out, and the genetic information contained in the blood cells began to be decoded and read by the AI next to it, and then converted into key information.
[Key input in progress...]
[Decoding correct, secret lock information released...]
The random information stored in the secret lock AI began to be arranged in a specific order, and through reaction and calculation, new data was obtained, and finally reorganized into patent information that could be read.
Scenes of data flashed by quickly, and the technical officer quickly read and checked, and finally a look of relief appeared on his face.
"Finally, I got it." There were not only patent information of 'Ixelle', but also patent information of 'Cosides'.
Time [23:58], getting what they wanted, the people in the room prepared to retreat, but Yimi asked to stay and talk to Kayo alone, because the mission had been completed at this time, and the accompanying battle captain no longer forced to interfere. After all, many people have gradually realized that the control of Ixelle in the future will probably fall to this girl.
Leaving the space for the two to be alone, Yimi hugged Kayo and cried, his body trembling, while the boy leaned against the corner of the wall, looking at the ceiling, without saying a word.
After about ten minutes, seeing that the other party still refused to respond to him, Yimi could only wipe away his tears and slowly stand up.
"It's okay, I'll get someone to come and treat you later." She wanted to comfort her lover, but he didn't answer.
As Yimi turned her head, a gunshot rang out the moment she stepped out of the room. The girl looked back in disbelief and saw Kayo lying in a pool of blood, with the gun in his hand slowly falling. The wound that penetrated his head was almost irreparable. Even in the extraordinary world, there were not many ways to heal severe brain damage.
"No..." The girl knelt down crying, and finally could only stare at her dead lover in front of her.
The alarm sounded in the early morning, and police cars surrounded the headquarters of the park where Kosides was located, and then the military and police officers who jumped out began to enter the scene to take over everything.
Tilan was still standing in the rain at this moment, watching the members of both sides who were handcuffed and walked out. She blinked slightly, as if she was sad, and sighed a little.
As a high-level extraordinary person of the Diva and the Withering Sequence, she could vaguely feel everything that happened in the underground facility. It was also a pity that this patent war ended with this ending.
Speaking of winning or losing, Kosides will lose its patents and will no longer have the capital to survive in the future, and Ixelle will not have an easy time either. The party that initiated the patent war will inevitably be subject to strict scrutiny by the Federation, and a large amount of assets will be confiscated. I am afraid that they will be dormant for a long time.
Fortunately, Ixelle's side won after all. This patent war is also a good signal for the Edes camp.
Thinking about this in her mind, she bent down and sat in the hovercraft beside her, and then the body of the car floated up. Tilan looked at the ruins and the gathering place of various vehicles and personnel below, which were gradually moving away, until the distance became farther and farther, more and more blurred, and disappeared in the night and rain.
Half a month later, the investigation and trial of the patent war ended. Kosides was sentenced to pay the patent judgment to Ixelle for killing Ixelle's heir. Ixelle will also pay a high price for launching the patent war, causing damage to public security and a large number of casualties. 80% of the company's assets were confiscated. Of the 254.1 billion assets, about 100 billion will be paid to Kosides, and the rest will be handed over to federal officials for repairs, pensions, treatment plans for those affected, and other aftermath, supplementation of public security and security forces, etc.
In addition, the initiator and main commander of the patent war were arrested and imprisoned. Ravens will face life imprisonment, and Git will not be released until after 20 years of imprisonment.
In the prison, the steel-gray door slowly opened, and people in gray iron uniforms entered and came to the girl sitting in front of the isolation net.
"Ms. Yimi, your visiting time has ended. If you still want to continue visiting, please apply again in half a year." The girl sitting in front of the iron table still had a few tear marks on her face. She nodded and slowly stood up.
"I'm leaving." There was a little sob in her voice.
"Go, you don't have to come to see me anymore, just live your own life." Ravens sat inside, his voice calm, without too much sadness.
"Yimi, from now on, the company and the family will be handed over to you. If you feel that you are not capable enough and it is difficult to control, you can ask that lady for help. She is the core of the Edes camp. With her around, other groups in the camp will not dare to bully you at will."
"As for the shares, you can give out 40% for exchange and assistance with other groups, but remember not to give up the right to speak, otherwise everything will change."
"I understand, father." She bent down to lift her skirt, and finally bowed to the man in front of her, then slowly left with the help of the staff, looking back again and again, until the steel door was pulled down again, blocking her sight.
