After Olof drove the car away, the driver's gloomy expression slowly relaxed into a mocking smirk.
"Boss."
One of the driver's subordinates suddenly glanced at Olof through the rearview mirror and asked, "Are we just going to let this go? They sure have guts to keep the L compound for themselves... "
"What's so small about this bit of money?"
Olof leaned back in his seat and pulled out a cigar from his pocket. Another of his subordinates immediately lit a lighter.
Olof took a deep drag on the cigar and blew out a puff of smoke before smiling. "The company is playing a big game. All we have to do is follow the company's instructions and sell the L compound."
"I wonder what the company is planning."
The driver could not help but sigh when he heard this. "We actually have to use this method to release thousands of L compounds, and we have to place them in the hands of a specific organization? That's hundreds of billions of dollars we're talking about... Is the company going to throw it away just like that? "
"That's not something you and I can guess."
Olof shook his head and sneered. "We're just black gloves at the top after all. Don't ask what you're not supposed to know. In short, this batch of L compound must fall into the hands of a specific faction and the Earth Federation must not have any evidence against us."
"Boss, what do you think, if we take a few of them and swallow them ourselves, wouldn't that be..."
The driver suddenly lowered his voice. "With so many L compound vials, even if we don't take them, the others..."
"Shut up!"
However, before the man could finish, Olof's expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly and stared at the man gravely. "Don't ever say something like that again. What do you think the company does? If we do something like that, even God won't be able to save us!"
"Boss..."
The driver opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
"Alright, that's enough!"
Olof's expression darkened. "Just remember, don't ever think of doing something like that. We don't care what the others do, we just need to do what we're supposed to do, understand?"
"Yes..."
The driver reined in the greed in his eyes and said no more.
Olof heaved a sigh of relief and silently loosened the grip on the gun at his waist. He knew that his subordinates had only joined the company for a short period of time and did not understand how terrifying Blackwatch was.
In other words, more than ninety percent of the world's population thought that Blackwatch was just a ridiculously large private company.
Only a senior employee like him would understand how terrifying Blackwatch was. It was an existence that could stand up to the Earth Federation...
In the entire history of mankind, there had never been such a huge monopoly group, to the extent that no one could say for sure what kind of terrifying power was behind this company …
…
"Sir Godfather, there's news from the L compound sales team. Everyone has delivered the L compound."
When Chen Chen left the Field energy training ground, Little X's voice immediately came from the headset. "We've released a thousand L compound vials. So far, a total of 835 vials have been delivered to the target. Among them, 36 arms dealers have completed the mission and 13 arms dealers have embezzled 10 to 30 vials."
"These potions have already been sold to the black market and obtained by some random people … Humans are indeed greedy creatures. Even though we warned them repeatedly, they still dared to embezzle them."
"After all, money moves people's hearts. It's normal for this to happen."
Chen Chen took a towel from the lounge and wiped the blood seeping from the tip of his nose. He chuckled. "But since it's corruption, it's only natural that it'll be punished. Go, send out the B.S.S. unit to recover the company's assets and destroy anyone who dares to break the rules. Let the rest of them see what happens to those who dare to embezzle the company's assets."
"Okay."
Little X naturally agreed.
The casual conversation between the two had determined the fate of dozens of private arms dealers who wandered the gray area.
After that, Little X continued to report. "At present, the Earth Federation has also received news of the whereabouts of this batch of L compound. Although they suspect that we deliberately released this batch of drug, they have no evidence and can't understand the purpose of our actions."
Little X was right. From the perspective of the Earth Federation, Chen Chen's operation of releasing a batch of L compound every few days was very confusing. After all, Blacklight Biotechnology had no political ambitions. Moreover, releasing such a large amount of L compound would not only bring no benefits but also indirectly increase social unrest.
Moreover, this kind of unrest was not enough to shake the rule of the Earth Federation. Instead, it would interfere with the profitability of Blacklight Biotechnology.
Even if the black market price was higher, the additional tens of billions of dollars was meaningless to Blacklight Biotechnology.
After all, today's Blacklight Biotechnology was already rich enough to rival a country. There were thousands of ways to obtain money. There was no need to resort to this kind of self-destructive method.
However, there was no way they could understand that Chen Chen did this not for the sake of money or power. It was for Chen Chen's cultivation...
In fact, for every psionicist produced by the L compound, Chen Chen would not interfere with their fate. In the end, they only had three paths —
The first was to be recruited by the four major continents and become a privately established psionicist army by the four continents.
The second was to join the Blacklight Foundation and become a high-level coalition army whose responsibility was to protect human civilization.
The third was also the last path, which was to become a psionicist who was not under the jurisdiction of any force. If these psionicists were willing to conceal their power and hide in the crowd to live a normal life, it would be fine. However, if they used their superpowers and exposed themselves, they would immediately be hunted down by the Earth Federation.
If these psionicists committed serious crimes, the Blacklight Foundation would even send a special task force to assassinate them in secret!
Chen Chen would never take the initiative to recruit these psionicists. After all, as long as they were alive, they could continue to cultivate their psionic powers. To Chen Chen, casting a long line to catch a big fish was the way to go.
However, there was always a limit to the amount of L compound purchased by the four major continents. There was also a limit to how many psionicists Chen Chen could secretly produce. Initially, the L compound could be produced as many as 30,000 vials per year, but the price was that Chen Chen had to release 100 milliliters of blood every day. Later, Chen Chen realized that releasing too much blood would weaken his psionic power over time, so he had to release 100 milliliters every other day.
In other words, the annual production of L compound was halved to about 15,000 vials.
In order to lower the Earth Federation's guard, Chen Chen only produced 10,000 vials of L compound every year. This was also the amount that the four major continents and the Earth Federation could consume. Any more would inevitably cause the drug to depreciate.
Moreover, in the beginning, Chen Chen only sold the diluted version of the drug. The difference between the diluted version and the official version was the success rate and mortality rate. The diluted version had a success rate of 10% and a mortality rate of 30% while the official version had a success rate of 50% and a mortality rate of 10%.
Later, because Chen Chen had taken too much advantage of them, the four major continents could no longer bear the burden and were even unwilling to purchase it. Chen Chen had to claim that it was due to the improvement in his technology and produce the official version of the drug. This caused the L compound to once again be in short supply.
Even so, 10,000 vials of L compound could only increase the number of psionicists in the world by 5,000 every year. Moreover, most of these psionicists would join the regular forces and the number of casualties would be very small.
Therefore, in order to accelerate the growth of psionicists and to obtain more psionic power, Chen Chen decided to use the remaining 5,000 vials of L compound on some warlords. This way, in a chaotic war between warlords, a large number of psionicists would be expended and Chen Chen's power would grow faster.
This was the reason why Chen Chen hired arms dealers to sell the L compound overseas.
That night, in the Middle East, in the town of Kut.
In the middle of the night, except for some patrolling troops, the entire army stationed in the town had already fallen asleep. However, at this time, in a three-story church in the center of the town, there was a sudden burst of laughter.
The laughter grew louder and louder, gradually waking up some of the children. They heard the commotion and rushed out of the barracks, only to see a giant covered in flames step out and stand directly in the air!
"Hahahaha..."
In the night sky, apart from the gentle breeze, there was only a burst of wild laughter. The flame giant was like a star that illuminated half of the town. At this time, he was laughing wildly at the sky. "It's... It's a success!"
An adjutant rushed out of his barracks and when he saw the flame giant in the sky, he was shocked and immediately shouted, "Congratulations General, congratulations General, you've become a psionicist!"
"Haha! It was worth it to use three L compound vials. After a narrow escape, I've obtained two superpowers! "
The flame giant in the air took a step forward and appeared directly in front of the adjutant in the next second. After that, his body rapidly shrank and finally returned to the appearance of a normal person. It was General Rocky who had met him during the day!
"It's said that the mortality rate of the first injection of the L compound is as high as ten percent, the second is thirty percent, and the third is fifty percent. It's too risky for you to inject three vials at once."
The adjutant was excited. He was a little envious and a little emotional. "But now that you've awakened the ability to fly and use fire, it's clear that Allah is blessing you and the Sithe army!"
Another officer was also excited. He approached General Rocky and said, "Now that you've obtained such great power, that old bastard Muhammad will surely fall at your feet. His territory and cooperation should be won by you!"
"Don't worry, I've long been dissatisfied with that old bastard."
General Rocky revealed a sinister smile. "Listen to my command, we'll rest for three days. On the fourth day, I'll personally lead the Sithe army to launch a surprise attack. We must completely defeat that old bastard's army!"
"Yes!"
Everyone saluted with enthusiasm.
...
This scene continued to happen all over the Middle East. Almost in the span of a month, the number of warlords and psionicists in various regions increased dramatically, further intensifying the situation in the Middle East.
However, in the face of this situation, it was not a large-scale war between warlords. Instead, it was the suppression of the Earth Federation. A few days after the Earth Federation received the news, the four major continents led by the Earth Federation sent a group of allied forces to the Middle East to suppress the unrest.
During this process, it was inevitable that there would be battles between psionicists. Still, the Earth Federation was the face of the four major continents after all. The new psionicists suffered heavy casualties in this suppression. In the face of overwhelming attacks from high-tech weapons, most of the psionicists were killed on the spot. Only a few managed to escape capture.
Still, this war that lasted for two to three months forced the Earth Federation to take this new group of humans seriously. Although most of the psionicists were not very powerful, they had a variety of strange abilities that made the upper echelons of the Earth Federation wary.
As a new type of evolved human beings, the Earth Federation also began to update its laws and regulations to limit the influence of psionicists in human society.
At the same time, the Earth Federation also specially introduced a level system related to psionicists. According to the strength and type of ability, it was divided into three psionicist systems and four levels.
Among them, the three systems were physical psionicist, elemental psionicist, and psychic psionicist.
Among them, physical psionicists were superpowers related to their own bodies such as the Body of Steel, the Body of Flame, and the Spirit Body. Most of these psionicists had a strong body that could resist various modern weapons.
On the other hand, elemental psionicists had the power to control matter. Some of these psionicists could teleport objects and some could control certain elements. For example, one of the psionicists under the warlords was somewhat similar to Magneto in the movies. He could control metal and iron within a radius of several meters.
Lastly, psychic psionicists were the most feared. This type of psionicist often had the strangest power, such as the ability to control people's thoughts or cause people to explode their heads without warning. Although they were not strong in combat, they were very good at hiding. They were also the type of psionicists that the Earth Federation was most wary of.
The four levels were based on the strength of a psionicist, which was a system of strength and weakness.
The weakest among them was known as the Delta-level psionicists. Generally, psionicists who had just awakened their psionic abilities were at this level. The longer they obtained psionic abilities, the more powerful they would become.
The second level was known as the Gamma-level psionicists. This level of psionicist had begun to have power beyond the mortal world. They could take the life of any ordinary person at will. Ordinary humans would not be able to resist them.
The next level was the Beta-level psionicist. Only ten percent of psionicists could reach this level. This level of psionicist was no longer something that ordinary troops could deal with. Only a psionicist of the same level or a regular army of battalion-level or above could fight against them.
The highest level was known as the Alpha-level psionicist. In the records of the Earth Federation, there were only three psionicists who had reached this level. One of them was the captain of the Superpower Combative Police Force in New York City, John the Guardian. The other two were also hidden in the Blacklight Foundation and only a few people knew of their existence.
