Chapter 383: Chapter 270: Annihilation (Two updates, 8000 words)
This day, the Beautiful Country was like a battleground with fires ablaze, as if a series of vicious attacks had occurred one after another, clustering on the same day.
In fact, it was not just the Beautiful Country, but even far away in Europe, Japan, Africa, Australia, and other places, there were also numerous attacks happening.
Any discerning person would realize that there was a common thread to these attacks: among the casualties, there were always members of the Averson Family.
With a summary of the investigations into the attacks, the truth quickly came to the surface.
Jieke Group, in retaliation for the medical embargo imposed by the Averson Family, had launched a bloody purge against all members of the Averson Family.
This news simply couldn’t be concealed, except from the general public who were kept in the dark, while it began to spread like wildfire within the upper-class social circles.

…
At a Drake Family gathering, Claudio Drake spat out his coffee in shock upon hearing the news, exclaiming, “Are you joking? Two hundred people dead, and the Averson Family is nearly annihilated?”
The person next to him nodded, panic-stricken, “Patriarch, we also participated in the medical blockade against Jieke Group. What if after they finish with the Averson Family, they come after us? Their Super Soldiers are too powerful, if we were to face them…”
Claudio’s hand trembled, his face twisted with conflict.
He was the patriarch of the Drake Family, the largest pharmaceutical oligarchy behind the scenes in the Beautiful Country, holding the world’s largest pharmaceutical company, Huirui Pharmaceutical, and their power extended beyond the pharmaceutical industry into the military, technology, and shipbuilding sectors. Additionally, they were a key member of the Califor Consortium.
Their family controlled wealth that actually exceeded a trillion US Dollars, an existence in the Beautiful Country that could summon the wind and call the rain.
Yet, such a powerful man like Claudio was overwhelmed upon hearing the news, his face clouded by a momentary loss of composure.
Because Jieke Group’s method of operation was simply too brutal, aiming for utter physical eradication.
Although in the past, many enterprises in the Beautiful Country enjoyed such tactics, like sending people on “clay flights,” such plays had become rare after entering the 21st century, and most resorted to normal corporate warfare.
Their strategies included hostile takeovers, buying out opponent’s stocks, corporate espionage, and price wars.
The uglier tactics involved framing or finding a legal fault with opponents, then bribing judges, arresting founders, and forcing the competitors to close or sell cheaply to them.
But these methods were nothing compared to the brutal simplicity of a muck truck sending your opponents to heaven.
This kind of physical elimination was not as common, but it wasn’t unheard of either.
But something like what Jieke Group did, aiming for the extinction of a family, was something Claudio hadn’t seen before, an entirely novel and ruthless approach.
More than two hundred members of the Alverson Family, and by doing this, Jieke Group was aiming to eradicate them completely! That was the source of Claudio’s terror.
“Dad, let’s just give up on the blockade against Jieke Group, we should lift it quickly. I don’t want to be driving nicely and get killed by a muck truck.”
Gathering with the family, the other members of the Drake household also heard about the tragic fate of the Averson Family. Little Claudio, who was very much afraid, used to be as thick as thieves with Danilo, as both enjoyed chasing women.
Little Claudio had just seen the video of the car crash; on that burned-out car, he couldn’t find a single piece of Danilo intact. First crushed into mush, then burned to a crisp by the fire, the very thought of that image made his blood run cold.
“Husband, we’ve made enough money. There’s no need to offend that madman from Jieke Group. Otherwise, no matter how much money we make, our bodies can’t withstand a bullet. Once you’re dead, it’s all over.”
Claudio’s wife was also breathing rapidly, tugging at her husband’s arm and urging him. Facing the assassination by Jieke Group’s Super Soldiers, who wouldn’t be frightened!
The rest of the family also began to speak up, each member of the Drake Family was terrified by Jieke Group’s brutal methods, and all they wanted was to quickly ease the relations with Jieke Group.
“I will first discuss this with the other pharmaceutical companies, and besides, what are you all afraid of? The Averson Family still has survivors, at least the patriarch Pedro is alive, and can have children at any time to replenish their numbers, showing that Jieke Group is not as terrifying as we think.”
While Claudio spoke tough, the profits represented by Jieke Group were just too lucrative.
With a 300% profit on the line, capitalism dares to trample all laws. But what Jieke Group represents is much more than a mere 300% profit.
Moreover, the Averson Family still had survivors, which was not enough to completely dishearten Claudio.
…
Inside a cemetery in the suburbs of New City.
The drizzling cold rain fell, landing on the solemn and sorrowful faces of the men and women in line.
Pedro gazed at the row of gravestones before him, belonging to his son, wife, uncle, nephews, and others.
Out of the more than two hundred members of the Averson Family, now only about twenty remained after Jieke Group’s assassinations.
When Pedro first heard the news, his hair turned white overnight, his heart filled with deep regret and an endless hatred for Jieke Group.
“Jieke Group, I won’t rest until I’ve destroyed you.”
Pedro clenched his fists tightly. He was now a lone survivor; his three sons, two daughters, including those born to his mistress, and two secret children his wife didn’t know about, had died in the attacks that day. Now inside him, there was only a limitless and deep-seated vengeance against Jieke Group.
