Muoto contacted his superior again.
"Mr. Vincent."
"What's the matter?"
"One of our researchers betrayed us. He escaped from the institute and took some research data with him. According to our insider, the researcher is now in the hands of the police. I don't know how much information Darin Haimco will expose about the institute, and I don't know what the government will do after obtaining this information. However, there is a high probability that the research base will be exposed. Currently, I am arranging for the relocation of the institute, but time is running out. If the government takes action earlier than we expected and mobilizes the army, then the institute is likely to be destroyed."
"How much force do you expect the government will mobilize?"
"There's something very dangerous in the research data that Darin Haimco stole. So, I think that once the government analyzes this data, it's very likely that they won't allow us to exist. So, they'll send a regiment of soldiers, and they'll probably carry heavy weapons. If the US Army uses heavy weapons to wipe out our research institute, the ground units will suffer a devastating blow. At that time, our ground defense system will be destroyed for no reason."
"I will send some forces to defend you."
"Mr. Vincent, should we focus on retreating?"
"It's just a regular regiment of armed forces. It's still within the acceptable range."
Muoto could feel that Vincent's tone was full of confidence and even expectation.
"In addition, there is one more thing. One of our experimental subjects, Evolver No. 6, was killed when he was collecting data in the real environment. The tracking device installed on Evolver No. 6 was also taken away. When I sent an armed team to investigate, they also encountered an accident. Mr. Vincent, should I increase the number of people I have?"
"You didn't put the experimental subjects in a densely populated area, did you?"
"Not in a densely populated area, but in a forest area about 40 kilometers away from a small town."
"Have you found out the identity of the other party?"
"A young man in his early twenties. All I can find out is that he is a rich man's security guard. He is responsible for patrolling the forests and pastures around the rich man's manor. There is no special information about him."
"Have you investigated the rich man?"
"According to the local investigation, the rich man's net worth is more than a billion dollars."
"Try not to provoke this kind of person," Vincent said.
Even though he had absolute power, he did not want to provoke rich people.
Rich people were a very troublesome group in this country.
They would fight among themselves for benefits, but if a force from outside their circle intervened and harmed any of them, they would become extremely united.
And every single one of them had unparalleled influence.
If the entire group united, they could even shake an entire country.
Thus, even Vincent did not like to provoke these rich people.
…
"Chen, Tiger has already signed the contract. The competition is next Friday and the arena is in Moscow, Russia."
"Moscow, Russia?" Chen Zhao frowned. "Why there? It's too far away."
Chen Zhao planned to watch the competition, but the venue was set there. This gave him a headache.
In principle, he was not willing to go so far for such a small matter.
"At present, in addition to the North American region, several other top heavyweight boxers are from Eastern Europe. In addition, most of the broadcast rights were sold to European television stations."
"Okay, leave some tickets for me," Chen Zhao said.
"Chen, you can guarantee that Syndicate will win, right?"
"Yes. I won't joke with my $200 million."
"That means I'll definitely make money if I bet with the underground banker, right?"
"What are the odds for Tiger and Syndicate in the underground market now?"
"1.04: 2.44," Alex said.
"Is the odds that high?"
"They're not on the same level in terms of strength and fame."
"If he bet a lot, can the underground banker pay that much?"
"Chen, if you bet a few hundred million, the underground banker will definitely go back on his word. But if it's only a few tens of millions, the underground banker will consider your strength and won't risk offending you."
"Help me place a bet of 50 million USD. Also, keep an eye on the banker. If he does anything wrong, let me know."
"Chen, are you sure you want to bet $50 million? It's quite risky. "
"I've already bet $200 million. Why would I care about $50 million?"
"Fine. You're the boss. Whatever you say. I'll bet $5 million too."
As soon as Chen Zhao hung up, he received a call from West.
"President, I need to discuss something with you."
"What?"
"I heard you're organizing a boxing match, right?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"Our association still has more than $10 million left this year."
"You want to bet too?"
"Yes. If we can make money this time, we'll have more funds next year."
"Sure." Chen Zhao had no reason to reject West's suggestion. "But I've already bet $50 million. If you add another $10 million, the underground banker will definitely feel the pressure. It's hard to guarantee that they won't skip the bet."
"President, it's not $10 million. It's a total of $30 million. Everyone in the association with some savings wants to bet with you. Even Ados has $300,000."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Zhao said. "It's not a lot. The underground banker has to pay us."
If he got the meat, there was no reason he couldn't let his subordinates drink the soup.
Chen Zhao thought about it. Putting aside whether the underground banker could pay that much money.
First, he had to let Sin win.
But then he considered Tiger's abnormal growth in power.
Chen Zhao couldn't help but suspect whether Tiger had used a second method to increase his power other than his own.
If that was the case, with the training he gave Sin and the method to stimulate his potential, he might not be able to win for sure.
It seemed that Chen Zhao had to make Sin even more powerful.
Then he called Gaia.
Chen Zhao hadn't told the association about the match between Sin and Tiger.
Only Gaia knew about it, so Gaia must have told the association.
Gaia probably invested a lot of money too.
