Chapter 596: Motive to Become Mortal Enemies

Meng Chao frowned. He remained silent for a long time before he nodded slowly and said, “If that’s the case, it’s really suspicious. Has your family ever thought about suing them and asking the Supernatural Tower to handle the case?”

“How could we not have? We went to the drug monitoring department, the Supernatural Tower, the Survival Committee, and all the related departments,” Su Lun said. “But even though the Survival Committee is the supreme ruling organization in Dragon City, it was created by Heaven Pharmaceuticals and the other eight mega corporations. The Supernatural Tower is something they built after they pooled their funds together.

“If we went to the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee to sue Heaven Pharmaceuticals, wouldn’t that be the same as trying to sue the judge judging your case?

“Besides, when Dragon City’s order had just been restored, many of the regions still retained the law of the jungle. The strong feasted on the weak, and they were the ones who ruled. When they faced the monsters’ invasion, all methods to resist monsters were approved and even encouraged.

“My parents fought against Heaven Pharmaceuticals for more than three years and went to all the departments and organizations. In the end, the court’s decision was this: First, Heaven Pharmaceuticals’ Heaven 9 and the super gene medicine produced by my family were slightly different in terms of the creation process, particle structure, and spirit energy increase. They did not deduce it to be an imitation.

“Second, Heaven 9 was already largely produced and was helping countless Dragon City warriors and superhumans gain power. They contributed greatly in the efforts to protect Dragon City, so the corporation producing the medicine needed to be protected.

“Hence, not only did my family’s accusations become unfounded, we were told to stop spreading ‘rumors’ about them imitating my family’s products in society and online. We also had to provide declarations to prove Heaven Pharmaceuticals’ innocence in regards to the past ‘rumors’. We were put in charge of getting rid of all the negative effects these ‘rumors’ caused to Heaven Pharmaceuticals!”

Meng Chao fell silent.

If what Su Lun said was really true, then Heaven Pharmaceuticals had gone too far.

Even though this was not a legitimate reason for Su Lun to betray humans, it explained his motives.

“What? You don’t believe me?” Su Lun cackled. “The nine great mega corporations aren’t good people. They have done plenty of similar crimes!

“They stole my family’s gene medicine formula, stole another family’s runic symbol machine blueprint, and the models for spirit energy martial arts and spirit energy magnetic fields from elsewhere. Once they gathered the culmination of wisdom from countless talented pioneers, they used their vast capital and fame to imitate them.

“Then, through promotions and price wars, they forced the medium and small industries into a corner. In the end, they monopolized the whole market. After that, they could do whatever they wanted to obtain vast profits.

“Over the past few years, the nine great mega corporations became in control of more fields and inventions, which completed their bloody and primitive accumulation of capital. They monopolized all the important fields in Dragon City, then washed their hands clean of all the blood they spilled and made themselves look noble and proper. They even started talking about etiquette and rules.

“Years ago, however, the things that happened to my family were common. Many of the medium and small companies encountered similar things.”

Meng Chao nodded.

He had returned from the apocalypse, so he was not as innocent as other university students.

The nine great mega corporations were definitely not snow white bunnies.

If they were really harmless bunnies, it would have been impossible for them to slaughter their way out of a world filled with zombies and lawlessness and rebuild civilization and order.

Before the Survival Committee was built, the Dragon City was just a magnified version of the current lairs.

No. In reality, they were even more chaotic and ugly than present-day lairs.

After all, the lairs were now restrained by the laws of the outside world. The Supernatural Tower just did not want to manage them because it was not profitable. It was not that it could not manage them.

However, the Dragon City decades ago was really a place where law was gone, and the ugliness of humanity was completely exposed.

Morals, rules, and law were all just empty talk before huge fists covered in bone spikes.

Sky Pillar, Universe, Heaven, Soaring Dragon… The mega corporations back then were all just gangs like Golden Tooth, Black Bone, and Poison Scorpion.

Meng Chao had heard about their style and how greedy they were, so it wasn’t hard for him to imagine what Su Lun said.

“I trust that all of their primitive accumulation of capital was bloody and ugly,” Meng Chao said. “What happened next? What happened to your parents’ pharmacy?”

“It went bankrupt.” Su Lun dragged the shackles that weighed hundreds of kilograms forward and shrugged arduously.

He was so angry that the wounds under his knees started bleeding again, and there was also pus flowing out.

But he deliberately kept a calm expression. “To research the new drug, my parents had gone into major debt, and filing a lawsuit against Heaven Pharmaceuticals severely impacted their survivability and development in the field.

“Heaven Pharmaceuticals is a giant in the gene medicine industry. It controls a lot of the raw material providers and even the hunters’ lifelines. When many of the providers, advertisers, and distributors who had been working with my parents for almost a decade heard that my family filed a lawsuit against Heaven Pharmaceuticals, they stopped working with us.

“A few of the finance organizations also stopped giving us loans and allowing us to use their credit cards. And if a few were willing to continue giving us loans, the fees for the guarantee and interest rates became so high we couldn’t handle them.

“It’s really ironic. It’s only when one bank stopped working together with us that my parents learned that this bank who has been constantly supporting us while we were still a family workshop had Heaven Pharmaceuticals as its biggest shareholder.

“Heh. And my parents still dreamed of fighting against this giant! It was the same as using an egg to strike a stone.

“Even so, my parents didn’t give up. They continued doing everything they could to gather the final funds and complete the super gene medicine’s creation and test. Then, they pushed it into the market.

“The problem was, Heaven 9 had already entered the market before our gene medicine and created an unshakeable image for itself due to the amount of advertising. Besides, the quality and stability of their product were slightly better than my family’s.

“But there was nothing we could do about it. My family had already invested everything it had into the research, while the other party stole it effortlessly. They could then continue spending money to increase the quality, whereas my family couldn’t even fork out an extra penny for further research.

“As a result, when faced with Heaven 9’s aggressive strategy to conquer the market, our gene medicine lost. Our pharmacy soon went bankrupt, and my father died of anger.”

Even though Su Lun had mentioned that he was taking revenge for his dead father, Meng Chao could not help but gasp.

“When my father was a hunter, his body was very strong. He didn’t suffer major injuries while deep in the wild, and at that time, he was at the peak of his life. He was very powerful,” Su Lun said. “But to be held accountable for the consumers, after my mother opened her pharmacy, he left the hunter circle and returned to the pharmacy to be a test subject for the gene medicine. That way, they could obtain first hand experience and data.

“This compromised his health a lot.

“To develop the super gene medicine, he worked day and night, ignoring his fatigue and injuries way past his limits to test all sorts of formulae. And his body started falling apart right before my eyes.

“The three years of fighting against Heaven Pharmaceuticals in court also destroyed his will.

“On the night the final verdict came out, he smoked for an entire night, and there were more than one hundred cigarette butts left on the floor.

“The next morning, my mother and I found him curled up in a corner. He had died behind the cigarette butts.”

Meng Chao did not know what he should say. After a while, he asked, “And what about your mother?”

“Her company had gone bankrupt and her husband had died, but we had to continue living. To return the debts, send me to school, and get me cultivation resources, she had to come to the lair to work for Golden Tooth.” Su Lun smiled. “No matter what, my mother was a rather famous pharmacist in the field. She had also caused a stir because of the three years in court. Many of the people knew what had happened, so they didn’t underestimate her abilities.

“In the beginning, for the sake of researching the super gene medicine, my family had borrowed a large sum of money from illegal finance companies in the lair, and their greatest creditor was Golden Tooth.

“After we lost the lawsuit, our company went bankrupt, and we naturally couldn’t fork out the cash.

“But Saber Jin Wanhao really acted just like an underground emperor. When he heard about my family’s misfortune, he wasn’t in a hurry to force us to return our debt. Instead, he lent our family a large sum of money to solve the remaining problems regarding the employees and suppliers. It helped solve our critical problems.

“Then, he suggested to my mother that it would be very difficult for her to continue staying in the gene medicine field now that she offended Heaven Pharmaceuticals. It would be better for her to enter the lair and work for Golden Tooth and create gene medicine for the ‘fighters’ in monster coliseums and the gang members.

“He even sponsored a brand new lab, but the condition was that she would have to create gene medicine specifically for him based on his condition, injuries, and illnesses. In other words, she was to become his personal pharmacist.”

Meng Chao understood it now. Everything made sense.

Superhumans’ bodies changed all the time. The higher grade a gene medicine was, the more necessary it was for minor changes to be made in the formula of the gene medicine based on a superhuman’s cultivation realm, fighting habits, and the fluctuation rate of their vitality magnetic field.

Many of the experienced fighters with vast quantities of money had their own personal pharmacist. They usually also had a large squad of technicians to provide full support to them in regards to their cultivation.

If Su Lun’s mother had really created the original Heaven 9, she would have had the qualifications to become Saber Jin Wanhao’s personal pharmacist.

Iit could be said that Saber Jin Wanhao had managed to seize the chance to pick up a treasure.

And since personal pharmacists were in control of veteran fighters’ physical conditions, physiological parameters, injuries, weaknesses, and other confidential information, they had a strong relationship with their employers. They were usually trusted employees.

This also explained why Red Brows Su Lun was able to enter the lair soon after he graduated from Dragon City University and take up an important position in Golden Tooth. It also explained why his position rose so quickly within just a short few years until he became a military adviser to the vice gang leader of Golden Tooth.

Saber Jin Wanhao was definitely not a muddle-headed and useless person.

As the master of the lair, he did not easily trust outsiders.

Su Lun was the son of his personal pharmacist, so they had a pretty close relationship.

It was no wonder then why Saber Jin Wanhao did not trust Song Jinbo and his other friends, who had been with him for decades, when he was on his deathbed but only let Su Lun know about his condition!
