Chapter 386: Chapter 271: Deterrence (First Update)_2
“I can’t understand, I’m afraid if I continue, I don’t know if I can secure a longer life, but Jieke Group’s assassination is very real,”
Claudio curled his lips, he wasn’t old, just over forty, in the prime of his life.
Although he had previously taken a tough stance against Jieke Group, seeing the fate of the Averson Family now, he was no longer willing to risk the lives of his entire clan for a chance at wealth.
“Those willing to join me in standing against Jieke Group, please raise your hands. We, Bayer, have certain connections in the military, we can protect everyone to the fullest extent. If worst comes to worst, we can stay in nuclear fallout shelters for a while until it’s safe to come out,”
Margaretta started to rally allies, relying on Bayer Pharmaceuticals alone was too weak; she needed to share the risk.
It’s the same principle as in investment companies, everyone working together, combining forces to grow a new company stronger and eventually take it public to reap the financial benefits.
...
Just one person investing is basically not enough to take a company public.
Only by uniting could they confront Jieke Company, and by bringing down Jieke Company, they could feed on the nutrients from the fall of this giant tree, Jieke Group.
Many people’s eyes grew brighter at the scene, but just as everyone was about to make their choices, suddenly, out of the nine participants in the video conference, eight simultaneously widened their eyes.
Because in the video conference, behind Margaretta, came a group of figures wearing Evil Ghost Masks.
Margaretta didn’t notice the strange looks in everyone’s eyes and continued to seduce the others.
“The military has already decided to launch a military operation against Jieke Group soon, they’ve armed the Chan Country Government Army and Japanese Soldiers, choosing sides now is very important, it will determine how much benefit we can reap in the future,”
Margaretta spoke, and no one responded for a long time. Seeing the weird looks in people’s eyes in the video, frequently glancing behind her, she even called for bodyguards.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Margaretta was puzzled, her eloquence was supposed to be quite good.
“Margaretta, look behind you.”
Claudio, after having dozens of bodyguards protect him, kindly reminded Margaretta.
Upon hearing this, Margaretta instinctively looked behind her.
But that glance almost frightened her to death on the spot.
Behind her, her family members, assistant secretaries, and bodyguards were all lying in pools of blood, and a group of figures in long coats, wearing Evil Ghost Masks, with fierce, bloodthirsty eyes, were silently watching her speech.
“You, you are…”
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Margaretta, extremely intelligent, had already guessed the truth, but the fear in her heart made her reluctant to believe it.
“Jieke Group, Steel Camp First Company Second Platoon Soldiers, ordered to take your life.”
A Genetic Warrior raised a Gatling gun, its six barrels slowly beginning to preheat and rotate.
“No, no, no, why me, why choose me out of so many people?”
Margaretta’s eyes, filled with fear, almost spilled out of the screen; in that moment, she lost her earlier eloquence, leaving only fear of death and regret.
“You wouldn’t forget what you’ve done, would you? Three million US dollars for each Super Soldier corpse, you found a lucrative business for the military of the Beautiful Country, collecting many of our Super Soldier bodies from the battlefield for research, why do you think we want to kill you?”
A sneer, not waiting for Margaretta to argue any further, countless bullets spat from the Gatling gun’s barrels.
The terrifying rate of thousands of rounds per minute shredded her upper body into pieces, splattering the room everywhere.
After killing her, these well-trained Steel Camp Soldiers turned and left, only the man who had carried the Gatling looked down at the still playing computer screen and sneered, “Take care of yourselves. Next time, it might be you we visit.”
After saying this, he dropped the Gatling, turned, and disappeared from the screen.
And upon hearing that threat full of murderous intent, the video conference fell dead silent, everyone was shocked by the cruel methods of Jieke Group.
Sometimes, hearing about something and seeing it firsthand are completely different in terms of impact, especially when it comes to killing.
It was unclear how much time had passed before Claudio’s face finally regained a trace of color. He swallowed and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, those who want to continue opposing the Jieke Group, raise your left hand; those who want to stop and mend relations, raise your right hand.”
Swish!
Almost simultaneously, numerous right hands were raised without any hesitation.
Having witnessed Margaretta’s terrible fate, these people truly understood the terror of the Jieke Group.
The group never entertained the idea of stopping after eliminating the Averson Family. If they did not compromise, what awaited them were days without peace, assassinations carried out by non-human entities from the Steel Camp. With a death rate of over 90%, who would dare continue the opposition?
Essentially, they were just a group selling medicines, occasionally engaging in unregulated new drug experiments, unlike those military-industrial complexes that actively create wars for the sake of selling more weapons.
“In that case, I propose we issue a joint statement,” one of them said.
Claudio’s face expressed immense relief; he could finally escape the assassinations from Jieke Group.
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
Amidst the chorus of agreement, the video conference drew to a close. With Margaretta’s death, the remaining multinational pharmaceutical companies all assumed the role of laying low.
……
“Asder Pharmaceutical has undergone a massive internal shift in power.”
“Asder Pharmaceutical is caught in a bankruptcy crisis; Huirui Pharmaceutical and Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical announce their intent to acquire, causing their stock prices to soar yesterday due to this development.”
“As Asder Pharmaceutical, advocators of a medical embargo, undergo such drastic changes, is it related to the Jieke Group? Our reporter invites a renowned financial expert to decode the bankruptcy turmoil of Asder Pharmaceutical.”
“Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Mersha Group, Huirui Pharmaceutical among other global pharmaceutical conglomerates declare, on humanitarian grounds, the lifting of the medical embargo against Jieke Group.”
“Huirui Pharmaceutical issues a statement, to help civilians in East Qin State and Jibang Region injured due to war, they will donate medicine worth two hundred million US dollars and send medical teams to treat local illnesses for free.”
“Mersha Group donates one hundred million US dollars to the disaster-affected people of Jibang to help them rebuild their homes sooner.”
A couple of days later, news pieces started appearing online.
After being targeted by the Jieke Group, these pharmaceutical conglomerates all started behaving more honestly; not only did they immediately announce the lifting of the embargo, they also declared various forms of public assistance under Jieke Group’s domains.
Although they dared not directly sponsor Jieke Group, fearing questions from the government of Beautiful Country, their stance was clearly displayed.
That is, cease all armed conflicts and let’s all be good friends.
This gesture of goodwill was obvious to any discerning observer.
While the common folks didn’t understand such a turnaround, they could only sigh how these pharmaceutical giants’ words were as unreliable as farts, changing overnight without knowing what incredibly tense encounters must have happened behind the scenes.
And those countries who were secretly watching this conflict would certainly not mock these pharmaceutical giants, for who would not fear Jieke Group’s straightforward yet high-end corporate warfare?
What people ridiculed was that Beautiful Country couldn’t even protect its own enterprises, allowing others to rampage through and kill people within its borders, leaving its face thoroughly slapped.
In the United Nations Security Council, the representative from Beautiful Country often encountered sarcasm from other countries’ representatives and would leave the meetings with a darkened face.
Furthermore, Jieke Group added fuel to the fire when Liu Yingying, the Group’s President, made a statement: “Seeing that all major pharmaceutical companies understand their mistakes and are willing to change, Jieke Group is prepared to forgive and forget. However, I must seriously warn Beautiful Country, health security must not be violated. If any more acts of medical imperialism occur, Jieke Group will handle them in our own way.”
Beautiful Country couldn’t hold back then, implying that while medical hegemony was hegemony, their straightforward corporate war was completely legitimate, right?
“Damn it, the last time someone dared to slap them this hard was when that uncle wrapped in a white turban with a goatee orchestrated the attack, leading to the prolonged anti-terrorism war in the Empire Graveyard.”
This time, faced with Jieke Group’s mocking defiance, Beautiful Country could not possibly remain indifferent.
