Chapter 608: Chapter 581: Treaty (Please Subscribe)
Meanwhile, somewhere underground in the Ninth Base City, Alexander Carlton, the Minister of Public Affairs of the Ninth Base City, was also watching the television news.
This high-ranking city official had another identity—he was the father of the female doctor Lu Qing!
In Tianji Star’s Central Continent, they were father and daughter; however, using the alien forms on Earth Federation, they had no connection whatsoever.
Ever since Lu Qing’s identity was exposed and she was killed by the Lin siblings, Alexander Carlton had been paying close attention to Lin Rui and his several companies, while also keeping a vigilant eye on the police and the Security Bureau.
Carlton even doubted for a time whether his own identity had been leaked through Lu Qing’s lips.
His daughter was indeed a person of strong will and unyielding character. Carlton believed that even if she faced the most cruel tortures, she would never betray her father or her comrades.
However, as a Demon Suppression Envoy in the Imperial City Department of Central Continent, equivalent to what is called a special agent by the Earth Federation, he could not afford any lapse in vigilance and had to preemptively guard against all risks.

So, for a while after his daughter’s incident, he became suspicious and paranoid, feeling that he might be under surveillance.
But in the past few months, there had been no signs of the Lin siblings seeking revenge on him, nor any action from the Security Bureau.
The key was that Carlton’s several informants planted within both the Ninth Division of the Security Bureau and the police force had detected no abnormalities inside the Security Bureau, nor any actions targeting him.
Alexander Carlton gradually shifted his focus to Lin Rui and his Forest Group.
Carlton harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Lin siblings!
His daughter’s real body was still lying in a nutrient tank, motionless like a vegetative patient, with her vital signs growing weaker by the day.
Just like with the Federation here, once the alien form of the people of Tianji Star dies, the real body will also perish or lose consciousness.
However, as a Demon Suppression Bureau’s top-ranked Demon Suppression Envoy, Carlton managed to restrain the urge for revenge temporarily. He endured and waited for a few months, observing the situation.
Up until a month ago, Alexander Carlton was ready to use his authority to strike against the Lin siblings in the most insidious and vicious way.
It was then that the Pharmaceutical Alliance, led by Yang Lingxiao, targeted Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals. Carlton was overjoyed and not only facilitated these enterprises but also used his influence to fan the flames on several occasions.
However, the outcome of this corporate war greatly disappointed Carlton.
“Viewers in front of the television, please look. This is the Ignatius Hotel, one of the thirteen seven-star luxury hotels in our Ninth Base City. At the moment, several companies are negotiating on the 292nd floor of this hotel.”
“According to the latest news, Taiyi Biological has made significant concessions. Chairman Yang Lingxiao of Taiyi Biological has agreed to transfer the patents and production and sales licenses for their 7 proprietary drug formulations to Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, and they will also open up some of their Armament patents to Sky Blue Group and Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals. In exchange, they will sign a Divine Contract with Linghu Family, Lin Rui, and Sky Blue Group for a one-year truce, during which no hostile actions may be taken by either side.”
“Tianquan Biological Company has paid an even heavier price. They were forced to give up the patents and production and sales licenses for 47 drug formulas. All their Armament patents are now fully open to Sky Blue Group and Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, they must transfer commercial real estate totaling 1.13 million square meters, along with all shares of Tianquan Chain Drugstores which owns 24,323 stores, to the enterprises owned by Lin Rui. It is said that Tianquan Biological’s truce period with the tripartite alliance is also one year.”
“According to Mr. Yuan Yugu, a political analyst, the reason why Taiyi Biological and Tianquan Biological have only signed a one-year treaty is due to Yang Lingxiao and Qi Tianquan, two Congressional Honorary Members, being unwilling to accept defeat. It is expected that within a year, an even more intense and cruel corporate war will erupt within the Ninth Base City.”
Compared to Taiyi and Tianquan, the other four major pharmaceutical and biological groups are more eager for peace. They will pay Linghu Family a settlement of 440 billion federal coins, equipment for 6 Heavy Equipment Divisions, 6 Type 8 Dragon Slayer combat robots, four cruiser starships, twelve destroyer starships, and twenty cargo starships. In exchange, they have promised that for the next 200 years, their companies’ procurement of pharmaceutical raw materials will give priority to Tianhu Cargo Trading Company in order to obtain forgiveness from the alliance of Linghu, Sky Blue, and Rui Fang.”
“At present, the parties are discussing the asset distribution matters concerning Holy Medical Group and Xie Pharmaceutical Medical Group. It is said that the two sides are engaged in a heated debate, but they have only agreed that all 27 hospitals, 2,327 Armament clinics, and 12,120 drugstores under Xie Pharmaceutical Medical Group, and 12 hospitals, 3,000 Armament clinics, and 8,321 drugstores under Holy Medical Group will be sold to Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals at 60% of the current stock price. Due to the special circumstances, the Federation Government will grant this asset transfer a tax-exempt status.”
Alexander Carlton directly smashed the hot coffee cup in his hand against the wall, creating a loud ‘bang’ noise.
“These incompetents!”
Not only did these pharmaceutical alliances fail to wrestle Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals out of Lin Rui’s hands, they also failed to kill this upstart. Instead, they lost cities and lands, allowing Lin Rui’s assets and power to expand further.
He took a deep breath and directly dialed the phone number of the Commander of the Divine Light Army.
“Commander, I wonder if you’ve been following the corporate war in Ninth Base City? Our enemies have grown stronger.”
“You mean your nemesis has grown stronger, right?” The Commander chuckled, “In this war, all I see is dogs biting dogs. Linghu Mingde and his gang killed four Ninth Realm experts of the Federation. Quite impressive, I’m looking forward to their next battle in a year.”
Carlton’s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, both Yang Lingxiao and Linghu Mingde were considered enemies by the Divine Light Army’s Commander.
All the upper echelons of the current Federation system are the ones the Divine Light Army vows to overthrow.
“But rest assured, I’ve promised you shelter, Carlton. I appreciate and am grateful for the support and funding you’ve provided to our plan to resurrect ‘Ling Huan’. If you encounter any danger, you can go to the haven we’ve prepared for you. The Divine Light Army will protect all their friends.”
Carlton’s expression turned grim as iron. He believed the Commander’s words, but they were no help in his quest for revenge.
Carlton himself no longer dared to lay a finger on Lin Rui and his sister.
This would be a new financial consortium in Ninth Base City, with substantial financial and influential power, soon to possess significant political influence.
As the Minister of Public Affairs, he appeared highly authoritative in the eyes of ordinary people.
But if he dared to make a move against Forest Group or Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, and caught Lin Rui’s attention, the latter could easily throw him out of office and cast him down to the dust with a single word.
Carlton thought for a while, then opened another chat window labeled ‘Great Chief Priest [Chen Long]’.
As far as he knew, this was a magnate of the Longevity Association, presiding over almost all of the Association’s biological research projects.
Carlton: Mr. Chen Long, the Pharmaceutical Alliance has been defeated, and this makes me very uncomfortable.
Great Chief Priest [Chen Long]: Uncomfortable? Why? There’s no need to be afraid, is there? As far as I know, you haven’t taken any action against Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals in terms of health product safety management or drug regulation.
Carlton: Of course I’m uncomfortable, over the years we have provided you with more than a dozen genetic samples from Lin Xi, and my daughter also died at their hands.
Unbeknownst to Carlton’s daughter, Lu Qing, he was actually serving both the remnants of Divine Illumination Association and the Longevity Association.
Carlton: Mr. Chen Long, will the Longevity Association really ignore Lin Rui and his sister? They now have a few trillion-scale consortium in their hands, as well as numerous experts.
Carlton: I know Director Yang and the others haven’t given up. They still want revenge. However, Lin Rui’s growth is too rapid. Who knows how much stronger they will become in a year? And as far as I know, Lin Xi is in good condition and Suffering Heavenly Girl is not dead. Does the Longevity Association truly intend to watch them grow stronger?
Great Chief Priest [Chen Long]: The rise of Lin Rui is indeed astonishing and unexpected, but don’t worry, several high-level members of our Longevity Association are paying close attention to Lin Rui and his sister. We will take action soon, rest assured and wait for the news, just focus on your own responsibilities.
Great Chief Priest [Chen Long]: Alright, that’s it for today. I have research to attend to, don’t disturb me unless it’s something urgent.
Alexander Carlton’s spirit slightly lifted, and he began to look forward to what was to come.
What actions would the Longevity Association take? And with what intensity?
