It's afternoon in Dongguo, but morning in Heguo. Many media outlets and reporters have come to the press conference.
Among them are local media outlets, and even some major media outlets from the mountainous country.
"You bastards! You didn't report a single word about the ironclad facts of the case, but you all came out in droves for a completely fabricated resurrection rumor?"
Looking at the heated scene, Gao Feng felt a pang of sadness.
"Since you all enjoy a lively atmosphere so much, then I'll make it even more lively for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished completely. When he reappeared, he was already five kilometers away in the sky.
When he arrived over the city of Amster, the press conference was still in progress, and that little bastard Sagir had already started answering reporters' questions.
"Mr. Sagir, your ancestor once promised that those who followed him would live forever with him. Is this true?"
The long microphone was practically shoved into Sager's mouth.
Sagil tilted his head slightly, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor. "There's an old saying in the East: the dead cannot be brought back to life. However, our Ori Group is determined to shatter this baseless absurdity. Over the years, we have invested tremendous human and financial resources and achieved remarkable success in the fields of chips, energy, and biomedicine."
Resurrecting a dead person does sound absurd, and I won't make any grand promises here. I'll just say one thing: wait and see.
The high-pitched melody floating in the sky sounded utterly disgusting. I'm just waiting to see what happens next... damn it, just go to hell!
With a slight frown, the box placed on the stage at the press conference shattered into pieces with a loud "bang".
Various black, red, and green liquids and bits of meat filled the entire live stream screen like a shower of flowers.
"Hahaha, serves him right! Sir played that move brilliantly!" The third son clapped his hands excitedly at home.
"Sir is ruthless; he never indulges them."
"The third brother is right. They were mocking us in a sarcastic way. It's already good enough that we blew up their broken heart that's hundreds of years old. If it were me, I would have blown up their stage."
The second brother is ruthless and doesn't talk much; he always wants to make a big move.
Looking at the chaotic scene underground, Gao Feng snapped his fingers comfortably, "Let me give you something more exciting."
The statue of the first mayor, which stood in the fountain in the city square, fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the press conference was held some distance away, so no one was injured.
Although no one was injured, being frightened was inevitable.
Sagil clenched his fists in anger, veins bulging on his pale face, and roared hoarsely, "Which bastard is it?"
The reporters who interviewed him had long since disappeared, and he no longer cared about his personal image.
That box contained the heart of his ancestor!
If his ancestor could truly be resurrected, he would very likely succeed as the head of the Bethel family.
Even if the resurrected ancestor continues to be the clan leader, he will gain more power and a higher status in the family, instead of being just an outsider doing odd jobs like he is now.
He looks very successful now, with lots of money and technology in his hands.
But the truth is, all of this can be easily taken away by the family and could be handed over to someone else at any time.
Looking at the broken stone box containing his ancestor's heart, Sagil suppressed his anger and nausea, and used his bare hands, after removing his gloves, to carefully gather the remaining pieces of flesh and blood around the box.
These actions weren't for show; they wouldn't see them anyway, as the live stream signal had already been blocked.
He was doing it for certain people.
"I'd like to see where you're going to send this junk."
All the commotion around him was under Gao's control; all he had to do now was watch the show.
Sagir personally tidied everything up, called to the security guards and secretary, and hurriedly left the scene.
The vehicle bypassed many busy streets and arrived at a large warehouse on the outskirts of Amster.
It's called a large warehouse, but that's just the exterior; inside it's a base, specifically an underground biological research institute.
After passing through numerous gates and elevators, Zagiel, carrying the filthy, eerie stone box containing the broken parts of Amster City's first mayor's heart, arrived at a sterile laboratory.
"My ancestor's heart suddenly exploded, and I don't know why."
"It exploded?"
One of the foreigners, wearing a white coat, walked over, opened the box, and glanced at it.
Perhaps used to this kind of scene, the foreigner showed no unusual expression. "Man-made?"
"It shouldn't be. This box has been under my nose ever since it was dug out. There's no way anyone else could have tampered with it."
Sagil shook his head, taking the initiative to clear Gao Ang of suspicion.
It's not exactly clearing him of anything. Theoretically speaking, even if Gao Feng himself admitted it, probably no one would believe that he was the one who blew up the heart.
The doctor in the white coat nodded. "It won't have much of an impact, as long as you have the DNA information, give it to me."
Taking the box from Sagir, the lab coat began its inspection work.
"Something that's hundreds of years old still has DNA information?"
Gao Ang was stunned. He had just examined it and found that while the heart still retained its shape, it was essentially just a piece of broken stone.
Forget about DNA information, there isn't even a single living cell.
After all, it's a product from hundreds of years ago. Back then, there were no advanced preservation techniques. It's just a hoax, isn't it?
After working for a while, the doctors in white coats gave an answer that left Gao Feng completely astonished: these broken tissues that didn't look like meat actually contained DNA information.
"What the hell? Are you trying to fool that idiot?"
What surprised Gao Feng even more was that Sagier actually believed it.
Not only did he believe it, but everyone present believed it.
"Damn it, are those foreigners not only blind, but their brains are also made of tofu?"
To be honest, Gao Ang was a little confused. He felt that his intelligence was being thoroughly humiliated by these people.
Although Sagir's press conference was ruined by Gao Yang, the key word "resurrection" still made headlines in Western media.
"Really? People can come back to life after they die?"
"I don't believe it. He's been dead for hundreds of years. If he could be resurrected, I'd rather dive in a cesspool." This guy is obviously someone who frequently dives in the East.
"Could it be that, as written on the Eastern internet, the spiritual energy of Rehmannia glutinosa has been revived?"
"I think it should be done using some high-tech methods, such as cloning technology. I don't believe in the possibility of a dead person being resurrected without any basis."
It has to be said that there are a lot of quirky netizens on the internet.
Some believed, some doubted, and the majority of those who doubted were the majority.
This is an open and transparent era. Although many countries possess some advanced technologies, few people would believe that a historical figure who has been dead for hundreds of years could be resurrected.
"Your Majesty, is it possible to get some information from Sagil?"
"No, they would definitely store such confidential information on a separate network or offline."
Qian Sui's answer made Gao Ang frown; he felt that something was amiss.
He had seen the lab coat's experimental procedures and so on, and to put it bluntly, that guy was just messing around completely.
Determining whether certain tissues contain genetic information is a very serious matter.
But he handled it in no time. Isn't that strange?
And what about Sajir, and even everyone in the Bethel family? Did they have no doubts about what was in that stone box?
However, regardless of Gao Gao's own thoughts, the Bethel family's Ori Group has once again found itself in the eye of the storm.
The capital market is extremely enthusiastic about the concept of "revival".
Who can guarantee that they will live forever?
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life. If the Aoli Group truly possesses this kind of cutting-edge technology…
As a result, all the stocks of the Aoli Group's businesses were sought after by various funds, and their market value doubled in just half a day.
At the headquarters of the Ori Group, Sajir had returned from the laboratory and was listening to a work report from his beautiful secretary in his office.
"Mr. Sagir, as you wish, all the projects invested in by the company have received a significant premium."
Sajir sipped his wine, watching the stock chart on his computer screen turn green, and he was overjoyed.
"Pass down the notice: this month, all departmental benefits, bonuses, and salaries will be doubled. In addition, increase the acquisition price of Cambricon Technologies Corporation of East China by another 5 billion gold; if that's not enough, increase it to 20 billion."
Sagir was not a fool; on the contrary, he was a wise man.
The most lucrative industry for the Aoli Group is not pharmaceuticals or biotechnology, but rather the silicon-based chip patents they hold.
They not only have the most silicon-based chip patents, but also monopolize all lithography machine import and export quotas.
For every silicon-based chip produced in the world, a patent fee must be paid to the Aoli Group.
But how extensive are the application scenarios for chips?
From automobiles to mobile phones to military products, it can be said that every industry is inseparable from the silicon-based chips of the Aoli Group.
It can be said that as long as new chip materials are not developed, the Aoli Group can make money while lying in bed. Their bed is truly a golden bed that prints money.
However, the carbon-based chips developed by Cambricon completely broke the technological monopoly of the Orion Group.
Whether in terms of cost or performance, it completely surpasses their most advanced 5nm chip.
Although the templates for carbon-based chips are currently only in the experimental stage, according to their internal intelligence, Cambricon has indeed mastered mature carbon-based chip technology.
Perhaps they cannot fully popularize carbon-based chips yet, but they can certainly create an opening in the closed ecosystem of silicon-based chips.
Once this breach is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Currently, carbon-based chips are still only in the laboratory and have not yet been truly applied.
If these carbon-based chips are purchased by certain giant companies, or even replace the silicon-based chips of the Aoli Group, the impact on the Aoli Group will be devastating.
The most direct consequence is that the OLI Group's silicon-based chips will lose their unique position in the global technology field.
When there is no other choice, other companies, even most companies in Dongguo, will choose the chips from the Aoli Group.
But now that there are two options, won't people think about it a little before making a purchase?
Should I choose A or B?
How much does it cost?
How is the performance?
Even some companies under the Aoli Group will purchase carbon-based chips because carbon-based chips are so outstanding.
Whenever he thought about this problem, Sagir was at a loss.
Left with no other option, he had to ask Biob, a member of his family, to resolve the problem.
According to Sagir's bandit mentality, since you won't sell to me, I'll destroy you.
The founding team of the carbon-based chip project was located in Cambricon. After the acquisition plan was thwarted, Sager's remedial measure was to destroy the team.
To Sajir's disappointment, Biob was such an incompetent fool.
Those who should have been killed were not killed, while those who shouldn't have been killed were all wiped out.
Not only did things not go smoothly, but they also left such a huge mess for certain people to deal with.
If the Ori Group weren't a major taxpayer in the country, and even had some connection with the royal family, this matter might not have been able to be resolved.
"By the way, do you have any emails for me?"
Sagir was referring to paper mail, not email.
"No."
Sagil frowned. Did Biob know he had messed things up and was too afraid to come back to see him?
That shouldn't be the case. He's messed things up before, sometimes even worse, and he wasn't punished much then.
Should we have Sajir send someone to check out the island base?
He dared not.
There are still many police and armed personnel patrolling that area, and he dares not provoke Dongguo.
He had no better means of communication than paper mail.
They assumed that the location was very close to one of the country's overseas bases, and that frequent radio activity there would make it easy to be detected.
"Could it be that this guy has been arrested?"
Impossible. If he were really arrested, the intelligence agencies would definitely have sent word.
Sagir quickly dismissed this concern. Putting aside the allies, even if Biob were captured, he could guarantee that he would return unharmed.
If they had been captured by the Eastern Kingdom, this wouldn't have been a simple protest and condemnation.
But what about the others if they aren't caught?
What about those leaked documents?
...
"Sir, should we also send out the on-site photos of the island base?"
"No, I've already filled that area in. If someone else discovers it, they might expose our existence. The current situation is that the fire has already started, and regardless of whether outsiders believe it or not, the reputation of the Aoli Group will definitely be questioned."
Don't be fooled by their current stock surge; it's just a temporary rebound. We'll wait for the right opportunity and wipe them out.
Gao Ang always thinks things through carefully before doing anything, meticulously considering what can be revealed to the world and what cannot.
Kill the entire Bethel family?
It will not help the situation and may even lead to the wrongful killing of innocent people.
What he wanted to do was to play a grand game, to fundamentally destroy the Bethel family and ensure they could never rise again.
Including the Ori Group, and those old fogies behind them, if they really were to be resurrected, they would have to be killed again.
"Your Majesty, by cross-analyzing all the financial movements of Sagil and the Ori Group after the old hag's death, as well as the travel schedules of key personnel, we might be able to find their hidden base for carrying out their resurrection plan."
Gao Gao had already looked through that warehouse once, and there was nothing there except for some simple plant and animal experiments.
He wasn't sure if the old hag could really come back to life, but what Sagil said today confirmed his and Qian Sui's previous speculation.
To realize this resurrection plan, Sagir certainly wouldn't dare to locate the laboratory in any country's territory.
Once he utters those words, things become complicated for those around him.
Who isn't afraid of death?
Anyone who's afraid of death will definitely try to get something from him.
Therefore, this guy must have a backup plan.
However, this backup plan will definitely be officially activated the moment the old witch dies, unless the old witch no longer poses any threat to him.
However, the old hag's composure before her death was enough to prove that she still had a lot of influence within the Bethel family.
"The official website has been keeping an eye on them for a while, but so far there hasn't been any news."
A hint of doubt was also revealed in Chisui's words.
"That's really strange... Keep monitoring them, I don't believe they won't slip up at all."
On the way back to Changying Island, Gao Ang kept thinking about a question: what was the relationship between the first mayor of Amster City and the four old geezers he had beaten to death before?
