Eric also received the information: some suspicious individuals were lurking around the pharmaceutical production base."Are these people really aiming to eradicate humanity?" he pondered aloud.Eric had already deduced that the sneaky individuals must be connected to those who released the virus. However, he still couldn't understand their motives. Wouldn't it make more sense to release the virus and then sell the vaccine for immense profits? Just like the Innova Group, if they exported their produced vaccines now, they would certainly make a fortune.From a businessman's perspective, maximizing profits was always the goal. Clearly, if those behind this wanted to get rich, they could simply release the vaccine now. But they hadn't, which left only two possible explanations.One, the virus releasers simply didn't have a vaccine. Or two, as Eric suspected, they never intended to create one—they just wanted to eradicate humanity.Upon hearing this, Sylvia sighed. "Luckily, we have
Due to the virus, many operations have come to a halt. Even technological research and development had faced some disruptions. The Innova Group's vaccines would not be exported for the time being, not even if requested.The Combat Department had tightened security at the production base to ensure safe production. For Pierce, the production base was currently the lifeline, and no negligence or accidents were allowed.Currently, the Innova Group was under scrutiny from various parties.To ensure safety, even the Lockes had joined the security team. With over ten grandmasters stationed there, those with ill intentions had little chance of succeeding.For many years, the brothers had been dedicated and diligent, making significant contributions to the Innova Group, often accompanying Eric on his travels.Although the Combat Department personnel was stationed there, this base was ultimately the Innova Group's asset. Every evening after dinner, the brothers would patrol the area and do
During this period, Eric, Sylvia, Andy, and several Innova executives received numerous phone calls. Some were from various regions within the country inquiring about the availability of the vaccine, while others were from pharmaceutical companies wanting to collaborate with the Innova Group.However, most of the calls came from abroad, including some from foreign embassies, all desperately requesting the vaccine. Its efficacy had been confirmed, with successful cases at King City Airport.Everyone wanted to survive. But all those calls were rejected.The priority was to meet the strategic deployment of the Combat Department. They didn't even have enough for themselves, so how could they supply others? It didn't make sense.The production capacity was there, but the supply of raw materials was insufficient, and production could not be ramped up. Besides, the additional production lines were funded by the Combat Department, so the Innova Group couldn't make major decisions about the
The Locke brothers continued with their patrols. Due to the recent sighting of suspicious individuals, they had heightened their vigilance. That evening, the brothers were patrolling as usual. At the location of Camera #3, they spotted some sneaky figures again."Who's there?" Vince shouted, raising his flashlight as he gave chase.When they arrived, they saw that the electric fence had been cut, suggesting an attempt to infiltrate."Chase them!" Matthew grabbed his walkie-talkie. "Control room, we have a situation at Camera #3. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"The production base was a fortress. Who could possibly get in? With hourly patrols, there was hardly any chance for intruders.As Matthew and Vince pursued, the Combat Department personnel stationed there also came to assist. Since the area was in the suburbs, a forest surrounded the factory, making the chase somewhat difficult.-Eric received the news.Initially, Sylvia had prepared a nurse's outfit for the eve
The Locke brothers were startled.Matthew said, "Sir, isn't this a bit too much? We still haven't found out who is behind them."Eric glanced at the three captives. "There's no need to ask. They're from the Luminous. What's surprising is that even in this environment, the Luminous managed to send people over."This organization wants to take down our production base. I believe the virus outbreak we're dealing with now is their doing."Although they had long suspected this, neither Eric nor Pierce had concrete evidence.Besides, the Luminous headquarters was far away in Haevon. They didn’t start the virus outbreak domestically, so even if one had proof, it would be difficult to deal with the Luminous.This was truly frustrating.Even without their confession, Eric could find relevant clues. But the immediate problem remained. With most flights grounded and these three having no identities, how did they get to Salt City?It was incomprehensible!Neither Eric nor the Combat Depar
When this topic came up, Sam was infuriated. The last time Frontier Tech poached his employees, it led to a betrayal, and he nearly got killed. His hatred for Frontier Tech ran deep. But regardless of his hatred, he still needed to stay informed. Frontier Tech's chip technology plans were aimed at the entire chip market.With a sigh, Sam said, "With billions of dollars injected, their arrogance is through the roof! But arrogance aside, this company is quite powerful."I’ve reviewed several of their recent patents, and they don’t overlap much with ours, which indicates their strong research capabilities."They’re formidable opponents, but some of their methods are downright dirty!"Eric nodded repeatedly. "Alright, this matter will trouble you a bit. Please visit Frontier Tech more often to find out when their overseas team will come next."Sam didn't understand why Eric wanted him to investigate this, but since the boss had instructed it, he had to comply.Little did he know, E
Themos laughed. "Mr. Hampton is right! Let's all get rich together!"Sam smiled broadly. "That's the spirit, Mr. Ford By the way, didn't you receive some foreign investment? We could totally share the technology part of it."Next time they come over, could you introduce me? After all, we are in the same industry."It would be great to exchange ideas and maybe even unify our pricing, right?"Themos was bewildered. 'Introduce Sam to the top three international manufacturers? Hasn't Sam realized that the Innova Group's biggest competitors are these very manufacturers? What is he up to?'Themos couldn't figure it out. Even after Sam left, he was still puzzled. It just didn't make sense.-Meanwhile, Eric and Sylvia had just finished their passionate 'session'."Again?" Eric asked, still wanting more. "I want a second round."Sylvia, panting heavily, said, "No more, no more. If you still have energy, go find Lora or even Ruth. I can't handle it anymore!"Eric was exasperated. 'Thi
Amelia's complaints didn't have much impact. Yvette's arrival had been entirely due to luck, and it seemed like the timing for Eric and Sylvia's second child just wasn't right yet.The couple was not in a hurry. Though they wanted a son, they accepted that if it didn't happen, there was nothing they could do about it.With the rampant virus currently spreading, Sylvia and Eric were hesitant about having another child. Bringing a child into such a dangerous world didn't make sense.Sylvia and Eric were also very busy. After Michael's return, most of the overseas business was halted, and no further expansion was possible.The reduction in business meant a significant drop in income for employees in the overseas markets, so they had to figure out how to compensate them. That's just how things were.When employees' incomes were high, their spending rose accordingly. A sudden decrease in income would undoubtedly cause them great distress.To maintain support, Sylvia and Eric had to us
