Chapter 132
"Boycott unscrupulous companies and hand over their products and technology"
"Get out of the 6th domain, you despicable foreigner!"
"Refund, we need a refund!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this world has always been unfair. There are many people who have obtained many things from us, but are unwilling to accept the corresponding responsibility, instead using technology that should have been used to benefit humanity to wantonly rob us of our flesh and blood"
"Today, we are here to protest against this injustice, to force the people of Negri's company to hand over their technology …"
For once, Negri wasn't in his laboratory, instead sitting in his office, watching the crowd of people marching downstairs. At the very front, there was even a person loudly speaking into a megaphone.
"How interesting, just because I'm an Authority Holder, they dare to gather and march to force me to hand over all of my company's current technology?"
"Should I call them stupid, or smart?" Negri put down the blinds, his communicator was ringing like crazy.
As soon as he picked up, Chang Xia's voice came through.
"Don't be impulsive, Wang Yuan, our D.E.R division will deal with this" Chang Xia's tone was full of urgency, he knew very well just how dangerous Negri was, and if these people angered Negri, a tragedy might very well occur.
"Then you'd better hurry up, I think they're not only going to march, they're also going to smash and burn" Negri chuckled, he knew exactly what these people were thinking.
With a seemingly reasonable excuse, the people who gathered were emboldened. After all, the law doesn't punish the masses, so even if they really did something wrong, they would be fine, at most, their leader would be imprisoned.
And the cause of all of this was a list that was made public on the internet after everyone returned from their meeting. The list contained the identities of the Disaster Authority Holders, as well as their personal experiences.
Just like that, Negri's identity was exposed. A person from another world actually openly opened a company in the 6th domain and made a lot of money from it. Just the weight-loss injections alone were enough to rake in an unimaginable amount of money.
How could they accept a despicable outsider trying to make money in their own territory? Hatred of the rich, xenophobia, as well as jealousy towards Authority Holders, all of these factors combined to form this current situation under the influence of certain people.
It wasn't just Negri, the same thing was happening to the other Authority Holders as well, it was just that Negri had more of them.
「 It was him, for the sake of the Disaster Authority, he burned his own son to death 」 Lu Ming Hao walked with his head lowered. The passersby pointed at him and gossiped about him, making him feel especially uncomfortable. He couldn't help but lower his hat a little more.
Hearing those hurtful words, Lu Ming Hao felt like he was going to go crazy. These people had clearly sympathized with him a while ago. But today, their words had completely changed. He was the real victim. He had lost his son in that fire.
Why, in one night, did they all come to blame him? Was it simply because he obtained a Disaster Authority?
As he walked into the company he had just joined, although the D.E.R division gave Authority Holders a monthly allowance, he wasn't someone who wanted to just sit around and wait to die. He wanted to start his own life anew. This company didn't mind his ruined face and hired him.
However, it wasn't just the passersby's opinion that changed. Lu Ming Hao received his salary for three months, then was fired. In the company's words, they were too small to accommodate a God like him.
Hugging his belongings, he felt his body temperature rising a bit, then dejectedly walked back home.
"It's him, that arsonist, beat him up!" A group of young men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wielding steel pipes in their hands as they swung them at Lu Ming Hao.
"I'm not an arsonist, I'm not!!" Lu Ming Hao screamed in pain. He didn't dare to use his Disasforce, his scorching Disasforce would instantly burn these people.
"If I say you are, then you are! You arsonist, you've already burned your son to death, do you want to burn us to death as well?" the young men excitedly shouted: "That's what you get for looking down on people, that's what you get for having superpowers!"
"Beat him up, he won't dare to use his ability, otherwise he'll be a murderer. This daddy here will go to the D.E.R division, let's see if they still dare to cover up for this arsonist!"
Beating up an Authority Holder made them extremely excited, the feeling of being above everyone else, especially when the other party's identity wasn't ordinary, made them even more excited.
Lu Ming Hao screamed in pain as he was hit by the steel pipes. He looked at the bystanders around him. This was the middle of the street, but not a single person came to stop them, nor did anyone call the police. In fact, some people were even cheering them on, saying that these young men were getting rid of a pest for the people.
What was going on with this world? The fire in his house was only an accident, his son was burned to death, and he was burned to death. He was the one who was hurt the most. It took him so much effort to muster up the courage to start a new life, so how did things turn out like this?
"I'm not an arsonist, I didn't look down on people, I didn't burn my son to death …" Lu Ming Hao kept trying to explain, but his screams only made the bystanders even more excited.
Bright red blood flowed down from his forehead, staining his eyes, the sight of it made him feel like he had returned to the scene of the fire that night.
Disasforce surged through his body, causing a burning sensation to surge through his body. The steel pipes in the hands of the young men became scalding hot as they hit him, causing them to scream in pain and throw the pipes away.
"An arsonist like you still dares to retaliate? Come on, burn me to death! " One of the young men was furious, as if his authority was being challenged, he charged forward and shouted: "Burn me to death right now if you can! There are so many people watching, burn me to death just like how you burned your son!"
"I'm not an arsonist, I didn't look down on people, I didn't burn my son to death …" Lu Ming Hao didn't pay any attention to the other party's provocation and kept repeating the same thing. The air around him began to distort as the heat spread to his surroundings.
"I'm asking you a question!" the young man shouted in dissatisfaction. The young man shouted in dissatisfaction, then suddenly felt a burning sensation on his body. As he listened to the screams around him, he noticed that his clothes were starting to burn.
At the same time, the flames grew more and more intense, the bystanders were also caught on fire, turning the entire street into a sea of flames.
Not too far away, a camera was moving to record this scene.
Very quickly, a news video titled [An Authority Holder Arson on the Streets] appeared on the internet. In the video, the pitiful Lu Ming Hao was censored, surrounded by people who were burning like torches.
