Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 646 The Most Hated Man in the City 1
Laura's face was red as she stared at the door with a fierce gaze. If only looks could kill, she would have dug out a hole in the door by now. She felt extremely annoyed that Jason became even more daring in his advance.
She couldn't even relax for one second around him. It was truly annoying. Though, at the same time, her heart felt warm.
"Miss Laura?"
"Ah yes, I need you to publish the information that I'm going to give you," Laura replied. "Within an hour, I wish that every single advertisement will show off this one news. As for their variety, I want you to make five different pictures and short videos."
"An hour?" the one on the other line of the phone felt like fainting. How could he manage to finish them all within an hour? However, he knew that the information should be extremely important. Laura rarely called them and even if she did, it would be for checking up.
Right now, he wanted to cry.
"Of course, I'm sure that you have heard about the news recently. I'll give you dozens of pictures, you can decide for yourself how to use them."
Laura didn't know how Jason managed to collect so many photos in the span of short time. That man must have prepared for everything ever since a long time ago.
Ending the call, she made another one to different companies and so on. For the next few hours, all she did was make calls and ask her employee to do some work or ask for help from her connections.
"Miss Laura, it's already nearing the time for dinner," Jason's secretary reminded her.
"Please bring it here, I'm still busy."
"Yes, Miss."
Laura bit her lips as she hoped that they would move even faster. The longer Kanae stayed in that place, the thinner the chance for her to stay alive. Even if Kanae was still alive, she was afraid that something bad might happen to her.
"You always do everything for me, so this time, let me do something for you, Sis," Laura whispered to herself. She glanced at the television. "And not only for you, but also for the entire city."
Her sister's incident would only become the fuel that ignited the events that would happen. She could only hope that her sister would be fine.
…
Governor's Hall
Numerous important people gathered in the hall that day. They had heard about the recent accident. Some of them knew that the one being transported was someone very important to the country's government while the others only knew when it had happened.
Right now, they had grim expressions on their faces. Certainly, they didn't want anything bad to happen at all.
"Please start the meeting," the governor said with a sullen expression.
"Sir, we're getting numerous reports that Ferdinand has gone out of control. He's attacking the one the country's government wants and creates large chaos on the street."
"Have the country's government received the report?"
"Yes," the one who replied answered weakly.
The governor rubbed his forehead. The biggest problem right now was how to solve the problem and not getting the brunt from the government. If they didn't do anything, the worst may happen to this city.
"What do you think we should do?"
"I think, we have to catch the proprietor and hand him to the government, dead or alive."
The governor's face changed immediately. He shook his head rapidly. "That's impossible. We can't let them capture Ferdinand. He's an important member of this city."
Numerous officials turned their head to look at the governor. They knew that this governor was one of the largest supporters of Ferdinand. This was why the report regarding Ferdinand always met with deaf ear.
No matter what they said, this governor would never admit that he was in the wrong.
"Sir, the situation is dire, we don't have any other choice," another official stood up and voiced out his complaint.
"That's ridiculous!" one of the ministers near the governor spat out. "What do you mean by no other choice? There are clearly a lot of other ways for us to resolve this problem. All you have to do is use your head."
"Yes, there will be a way out!" another official that supported Ferdinand stepped forward to voice out his thoughts.
The other ministers shook their heads. They knew that the people who supported Ferdinand were a lot. After all, they were granted with a lot of power just because of that man's experiment. This caused them to not feel any fear to the others.
Prang!
Every pair of eyes stared at one direction. They saw that a young man had dropped his glass to the floor.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my hand slipped," Jason gave his excuse. He stood up. "But might as well, I speak up first. I believe that you all have heard regarding the experiment that Mr. Ferdinand did in the past and also the result. However, I believe that you haven't seen this."
He tapped his laptop, which he had connected to the projector in the middle. Instantly, numerous pictures of horrible creatures that he met during the battle in Lima School appeared.
"Hieeee!"
"Wha-a-!"
The ministers and officials were stunned speechless. They didn't expect to see something like that appeared in front of them right away.
"You shouldn't be surprised," Jason chuckled. "This is all the side effect of the medicine that the awesome Mr. Ferdinand makes."
The officials who had received the medicine turned paler. They stared at the picture with disbelief. Even the governor didn't seem to know about this matter as he gazed at the pictures.
"Tha-that's rubbish! How do you expect us to believe in you?"
"Ah, I have the video," Jason shrugged. This was the video that he cut away from the others. He had placed several hidden cameras in his clothes during the battle. Some of them were damaged, but he managed to find something that was interesting.
It showed a perfectly fine man. His hand was connected to a certain liquid. As the liquid came inside, the man roared in pain. Not long after that, he started to transform into the horrible monsters that they see just now.
The officials' expression paled considerably. They stared at the young man in disbelief. Just who this man was?
"H-h-how did y-you get the video?" the man beside him asked in stutter.
"I'm there to watch it directly," Jason shrugged. "Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jason Wells and in Black Street, I'm also known as Oro from Fiore Group."
Their heart turned cold when they heard the phrase 'Fiore Group.' Who among them didn't know Fiore Group participation in the big battle? Many of them knew that it was just an event staged by Ferdinand, but they didn't know the content. It was only after seeing this video that they understood.
"W-w-will everyone t-transform like that?"
The ministers turned their head to look at the governor. They were stunned speechless when they saw the proud man had tears in his face.
"According to what I heard, yes," Jason didn't want to tell the truth that it was according to their body's limit. "Professor Taren diluted the medicine, allowing you to consume without much qualm, but I'm sure that once your body can't hold on, it'll act up."
The real reason it would act up was if the person was agitated to the extreme or if the body reached the limit. Although Professor Taren must have diluted the medicine to the fullest, the real potential was still there. He purposely made his words sounded threatening to make the officials emotional.
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHGGGHHHHHHH!"
The sudden scream made them surprised. They were stunned when they saw several officials, who were perfectly fine before, had transformed.
Before the transformation was complete, several gunshots headed to their direction.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Please don't interrupt the meeting," Jason said coldly. "Now, let's back to the topic."
The ministers were stunned at Jason's calmness. Right now, the most dangerous person they saw was surely the young man in his early twenties. Even the governor was in tears because he was afraid of his own safety.
Seeing their expression, Jason knew that he had won their attention. Now was the time for him to launch his real intention.
