Chapter 646: The Most Hated Man in the City (2)

Wells Family Head listened silently as his son spoke up to the other officials. He didn't have any intention to help his son because he knew that Jason would be able to do it.

After Jason had finished explaining his plan, the ministers were deeply thinking about that. It was not impossible, but it would mean that they would have to abandon Ferdinand and the man's work all these years.

"Are you sure that it's feasible?" one of the ministers spoke up.

Jason nodded his head. "I'm sure that this is the only way out. Besides, while we're having a meeting here today, my girlfriend is borrowing my access to spread some news."

A minister raised his hand. "Does it mean the video you show us just now is broadcasted?

The ministers and officials were deeply shocked. If the people in the city knew about them, they would surely panic. It was not without reason that they hid the presence of those who had supernatural power. They wanted to keep the balance in this city.

Internally, Jason rolled his eyes. Even if he wanted to take the people's opinion towards him, he would never use such a way to pull them to him. It was simply too insane for him to broadcast them all.

After all, he didn't want to create more chaos in this city.

"I spread different news such as the bribes that he gives to higher ups and also the kidnapping action that he had done every single day," Jason replied. "I'm sure that many of you are very familiar with them."

They stayed silent immediately. Even though they knew about the matter, many of them received money or medicine from the man. Those who received the medicine felt that they were tricked. If they knew that they would turn into monsters, they would never accept the medicine.

"Do you have any antidote for the medicine?" one of the officials asked.

"No."

"Don't tell any lies, there are many of us who're dying."

Jason rolled his eyes. "I'm not a doctor and I never even touch them. I only know the effect as I manage to obtain some news about them."

The ministers looked around dejectedly. They knew that they only have limited days left for their life. Even though no one has changed to be a monster, there was no telling when it would happen.

"Is there anything else?" Jason asked. When he saw the quiet ministers, he continued. "If there's nothing else, the meeting is dismissed. It'll be better if you can work faster as the lives of other citizens may be in danger once he decides to release the monsters out into the city."

The ministers were stunned to hear Jason's words. Although it was not completely impossible, they knew that Ferdinand was not completely out of his mind yet. Still, the thought that the city would be in a much bigger chaos made their legs move even faster.

No one wanted to see it happened.

"You did well, Jason."

"Father," Jason turned around to see his father. He smiled slightly. "Have you finally acknowledged me as the future successor?"

Wells Family Head didn't answer. He merely stared at Jason and took out his phone. "You should call your girlfriend to rest. Both of you have worked hard. The rest should be left for the older generations."

"Yes, Father."

Jason opened the phone and saw numerous reports regarding Ferdinand. He was shocked at Laura's insane speed. It was only several hours, but the entire media in this city was reporting one piece of news.

First report:

"…Ferdinand was caught in this picture when he recruited Professor Taren to become part of his worker. It seemed that the two of them are pretty close with one another…."

Second report:

"…After the shocking news that we receive, we can conclude that Mr. Ferdinand, the one who's pretty famous is the one behind the lost of numerous children in this city. He says that they're all for his experiment and the result will benefit greatly for the entire city. However, should he sacrifice the lives of thousands of children? He…"

Third report:

"…Every missing child has some connection with Lima School. It is believed that Mr. Ferdinand worked in that place as he conducted numerous experiments for the children, disregarding their safety and everything…"

Ferdinand this…

Ferdinand that…

It was all filled with Ferdinand.

Jason was speechless. If he was an ordinary person in the city, he would have the urge to smack the one who posted the news. Was there any need for them to post the exact same news in every piece of paper?

'Laura, I truly don't know whether to cry or laugh.'

He stood up from his position, intending to leave when several people surrounded him. His body tensed up in vigilance as he scanned the people around him. They were extremely powerful, so he was not sure that he could escape unscathed if he had to face them head-on.

"Who are you?" he asked sharply.

"Please don't be agitated," a man walked forward. His appearance would make people think that he was still in his early twenties, but Jason knew better than that.

"Minister Matt? Why are you? What are you?" He looked at the guards around him in confusion. He knew that Matt was part of the ministers in this city. However, the power that Matt held has been extremely limited. There shouldn't be any way for Matt to have connection with these people.

Matt smiled wryly. "I shall reintroduce myself. I'm Matt Kinwumi, an investigator sent by the country's government."

Jason's mind blanked for a moment when he heard what Matt said. It never crossed his mind that this weak looking man would have connection with the highest power in this country. In fact, it seemed that this man held quite an important position.

"I'm surprised," Jason extended his hand. "It's nice to meet you, Investigator Matt."

"There's no need to be so polite," Matt smiled. "I come to you because there are some things that I need to discuss with you, especially regarding the government and also your friends."

Jason nodded his head. Because of his performance just now, he must have held some degree of importance in Matt's eyes. He didn't know how high the other party's viewed him, but it didn't really matter for now.

"Is there something important that you have to tell me?"

"The plan you propose will solve the problem, but it won't be effective if you don't eliminate Ferdinand himself," Matt replied. "You should know that Ferdinand is a former soldier, not only for this city but for the country. If he wants to, he can get away from the city easily. Even though your girlfriend had blocked the access, he can find some other way out."

Jason frowned. He knew that it would not be completely impossible for Ferdinand. Had he underestimated Ferdinand's power?

"Secondly, eliminating Ferdinand is not enough. This city needs a leader for the reformation that Kevin Kalin wants to do. However, his background makes him unable to do so."

Jason's eyes widened. "Minister Matt, are you telling me that I have to become a leader?"

"It's an option and even if you don't become the leader, there will be more people who will step up," Matt replied. "This country is republic on the outside, but still partially monarchy because of the various types of cities. If you want to make it monarchy in this city, it's completely feasible."

"I'll think about that," Jason replied. He was not sure that he could become the leader even though he had some capabilities. "You say that there's some problem with my friend, what is it?"

Matt stayed silent for a few seconds before answering. "Even if you defeat Ferdinand, you might never be able to see her anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Jason has a bad feeling crept out on his back. He could guess where Matt's conversation directed him to, but he didn't want to think about it.

He wanted to reunite with his friend again.

"Even though the monsters are free, they're still partially being controlled. It has been more than two years ever since that time," Matt replied slowly. "Why do you think they try to catch awakened people?

Jason's expression turned grim. "There is still hope, Minister Matt. Please excuse me."

Matt nodded his head slowly. He didn't say anything else as he walked away from the location. The two of them knew the largest possibility, but neither one of them was willing to say it.

They didn't hope for it to happen.
