Chapter 133
"Bastard!" Chang Xia slammed the table and cursed.
The person behind the scenes was truly a good schemer.
The surveillance footage of Lu Ming Hao's street had already been deleted, the only version that could be found was the one that was censored and censored.
From that version, there was no beginning or end, it looked like Lu Ming Hao was the one who started the fire.
The D.E.R division was currently surrounded by a furious crowd, demanding that the D.E.R division hand over the culprit and accused them of harboring the culprit.
No matter how they tried to explain themselves, they all believed that the D.E.R division was lying and harboring Lu Ming Hao.
This was probably the D.E.R division's credibility at its lowest. People didn't believe their words at all, they only believed what they saw.
"How's the situation with the Negri company?" Chang Xia asked.
"Very bad, the people we sent to maintain stability couldn't do anything to calm them down, they might even try to steal the Negri company's assets" Seven solemnly told him: "I suggest we use violence to suppress them"
"They've already been blinded by prejudice, simple words won't be of any use at this point" Seven scowled and said.
"The problem is that the person behind the scenes is probably waiting for us right here" Chang Xia calmed down and said: "I suspect that there's an Authority involved, for example, the [Rebellion] Authority"
"Otherwise, they would be too irrational" Chang Xia shook his head.
Part of this was due to the D.E.R division's dark history being exposed, but there were always two sides to everything. The D.E.R division did have a lot of dark history, but they had also contributed a lot to society.
The same was true for Authority Holders. Quite a few of them might have been blinded by their Authority and made some mistakes, but there were also those who maintained their original hearts and worked hard to live their lives, or used their Authority to prevent calamities from happening.
However, the public opinion this time was too one-sided, as if an Authority Holder was involved.
For example, during the Lu Ming Hao incident, although it was undeniable that there were a lot of idiots in this world capable of doing a lot of stupid things, those youngsters were too stupid, knowing full well that the other party could easily kill them with a single move, yet they still dared to provoke them.
"Not good, those people have started to attack the Negri company, stealing their products, even the company's computers" after receiving the call, Seven reported with a serious expression.
"Inform our men to suppress them. No matter what, let Wang Yuan take action. Things will only get worse." Chang Xia closed his eyes and said, "Also, pay attention to Ye Kong's movements. When he entered the Sixth Domain, there was a riot. There might be a problem here."
…
"These are mine." Everyone was madly trying to steal the things that belonged to Negary Inc., even the customer service staff of Negary Inc. Some people even began to tease them, saying things like 'you're helping the evildoer', as if saying that didn't make them feel like they were robbing or molesting.
The door of the office was directly smashed open by fire axes with fire extinguishers. They began to frantically snatch the valuable items inside. The thrill of destruction tore apart their usual appearances, and they became strangers.
Negri sat in his office, looking indifferent as if he was waiting for something.
He turned a blind eye to the commotion below. Behind him, Noah and Jack stood on both sides.
"Humans really are easy creatures to manipulate. Their rationality is often not as useful as they think it is. With just a little bit of guidance, they can do things that they would never do in their entire lives."
Negri could already hear the rapid footsteps outside the hallway. Quite a few of these people were highly educated, they had also learned about Authority Holders, so they understood that Negri could kill them with a single move.
However, while they were committing the crime, they also had a sort of blind confidence, as if they were certain that Negri wouldn't dare to use Disasforce to kill them.
As the fire axes struck the expensive wooden door, wooden splinters flew everywhere. Through the gap, the man's twisted and fanatical expression could be seen.
"Are the people from the D.E.R division not here yet?" Negri casually asked.
"There are only a few peacekeepers, all of them have been tied up" Noah confirmed: "Seems like there's someone behind this"
"Then it can't be helped" Negri looked at the people rushing in like wild dogs in heat, smiled, then propped his right elbow on the table, put the back of his hand on his cheek and spoke with an amused expression: "Since we can't rely on anyone else, it seems like we'll have to do it ourselves"
The people rushing in were all armed, the leader of the group had an excited expression on his face as he loudly declared: "Wang Yuan, hand over the technology of your product, or I'll show you the power of an axe"
"An axe?" Negary chuckled. Even if these people were most likely affected by the Authority to riot like this, the Authority itself wouldn't affect a person's intelligence, so the person who dared to say such a thing had to be … an idiot.
"Are you talking about the thing in your hand?" Negri snapped his fingers: "Look, isn't that the hand of a dead person?"
The man's eyes froze as he instinctively looked down at the thing in his hand. The original fire axes had disappeared, replaced by a severed hand that was still covered in blood.
The touch of skin, the pungent smell of blood, as he squeezed it, the residual nerve reaction caused the arm to twitch a few times.
The man screamed in pain and instinctively threw the thing in his hand away. It was only after the sound of metal clashing that he regained his senses. The thing he threw away was the fire axes.
These people were already in a state of extreme excitement, their minds were focused but also in a daze, so hypnotizing them couldn't be any easier.
Negri licked his lips, his originally gentle and approachable temperament slowly disappeared, replaced by an extremely invasive and terrifying aura that viewed human life as nothing more than grass, causing everyone present to feel like they were being coiled around by poisonous snakes, unable to move at all.
"Although I can get rid of my own emotions, I haven't gotten rid of the emotions of fear." Negri slowly stood up, his overwhelming aura causing those people to tremble all over.
"Humans have to feel fear in order to be able to see their own position clearly. Living in an era of peace, you guys have not felt fear for far too long. In the Flame World, even a three year old child would understand that you shouldn't point your blade at the strong."
Negri pointed his finger at the chest of the person in front of him, his sharp nails directly piercing through the skin and flesh. Finally, Negri's hand reached into the person's chest, grabbing onto the person's wildly beating heart.
Negri asked softly with a smile:
