85, Raging Tide

A black Bentley pulled up at the door of the Watson Tower, and Marcus Watsendon and his accompanying bodyguards got out of the car, and before they could enter the gate, a group of reporters rushed towards the helm of the chaebol group like a colony of black ants, even if they were blocked by a few strong security guards, they could not stop them from asking questions.

"Mr. Watsonton, there are rumors circulating on the Internet that your lab is using mutants to conduct illegal human experiments, is this true?"

"It is said that there was an unfair deal between Watson & Co. and Senator Robert Kelly?"

"Did Senator Kelly take Watsonton's experiment and become a mutant due to a mutation in the side effect gene?"

“……”

The news exploded in Marcus's ears like thunder, and he tried his best to remain calm, without saying a word, and his face was cold, surrounded by security guards, squeezing through the swarming news reporters and entering the interior of the Watson Building.

Arriving at the office by elevator, Marcus, who was already angry, summoned his high-ranking employees and asked, "Can anyone tell me what happened?!" ”

Hamilton, who was in charge of the market, turned on his computer with trepidation, and all the news media and portals were full of all kinds of news about Watsonton, and the negative news was overwhelming, the miserable situation of the mutants, and the videos and pictures of the brutal dissection were spreading on the Internet at a rapid pace.

"Twenty minutes ago, someone anonymously spread this information online......"

Marcus felt his head dizzy, he tried to maintain a cold and hard complexion, took a few deep breaths, calmed the anxiety in his heart, and the rich experience of fighting in the mall for many years, he could see at a glance that someone was manipulating behind the scenes, deliberately guiding public opinion.

For example, the most vicious Clarion Daily, which attacked Watsonton, this little-known gossip tabloid, somewhere to find detailed and credible photos and information, published on the front page, and the content of the newspaper very clearly implied that the Watsonton Company and Senator Kelly, whose real identity was revealed to be a mutant, had an unspeakable criminal deal, a despicable politician who did not hesitate to betray his fellow mutants for the sake of fame, and the other was an inhumanityous unscrupulous capitalist who relied on blood and violence to make a fortune.

In the report written by Jonah James, the owner of the daily Clarion Daily, there are even hints, intentionally or unintentionally, that the recent attack on Osborne and Ambrera by Senator Kelly was actually the secret instruction of a chaebol group that tried to monopolize the medical industry and prevent the development of the new forces.

This gossip tabloid, which has always liked to report some lace news, has come forward faster than those official media, as if a righteous person who is not afraid of power is the first to make his voice heard.

Immediately after other media also rushed to report, for fear of being half a step behind their industry peers, Watsonton was pushed to the forefront for a while, and the huge pressure of public opinion made the government departments have to intervene in it, and in just 20 minutes, this giant enterprise that occupies the top position of the industry seems to have become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.

Marcus, who saw the current situation clearly, thought of those rivals who were eyeing the company, and the extremely unfavorable news for the company, this is not something that can be settled by relying only on crisis public relations or money power, once this scandal continues to ferment and trigger social discussion and criticism, then Watsendon may fall into the dust.

When a tiger is majestic, all the beasts in the forest will grovel and show their loyalty, but as soon as it appears to be a little old, other beasts will immediately jump out and open their sharp fangs and claws.

"Who is behind all this?"

Marcus wondered, could it be that little Osborne and the so-called New York genius, these fledgling young people, really have such ruthless methods?

The old man was a little unsteady on his feet, his hands propped up on the table, he would rather believe that this was the work of some capital giant who was eyeing Watsonton, taking the lead in detonating the offensive of public opinion, seizing the moral high ground, and using the mutant problem that the government was quite concerned about to deal a fatal blow to Watsonton, and a series of means down, almost making the opponent powerless to fight back.

Driving away the chill in his heart, Marcus discussed countermeasures with the senior management present, and actively asked the public relations department to issue a notice, and he himself contacted some political dignitaries who had good personal relations with Watsendon to deal with this sudden crisis.

…………

Harry happily walked into Ambrera, and his original depression was swept away, like a triumphant general, rushing directly to Sean's office.

"Can you knock on the door next time?" Sean didn't lift his head, busy signing a bunch of papers, "Maybe I'm flirting with the secretary in the office, and it's embarrassing for you to break in like this." ”

Harry waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I remember that you don't have a secretary at all, don't you think about getting one?" In your capacity, you really need a secretary who takes care of your chores, and a bodyguard who is in charge of security. ”

"Maybe I can introduce you, make sure you have a good figure and appearance! I know a ballet-dancing ......" said, and Master Osborne's conversation drifted to the side.

"I guess you didn't come here in a hurry to talk to me about women." Sean looked up helplessly and ended the previous topic.

Harry suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, and his smile could not be concealed, and he almost couldn't help but jump up to express his excitement.

"Watsonton is going to be out of luck." He laughed, thinking of his high spirits at the board meeting this morning, "It was revealed that illegal human experiments were conducted, and major media outlets followed up to break the news, and it is said that government departments have intervened, and the stock price has collapsed faster than Stark Industries." ”

"God is just and chastifies the wicked and does good to the righteous." Sean said lightly, he was not surprised by this result.

However, it is too simple to think about the collapse of a chaebol group, as a monopoly giant in the medical industry, Watsonton may suffer a heavy blow, but it is impossible to go out of business, and the interests behind them will not sit back and watch this behemoth fall easily.

"You seem to have known for a long time." Harry's eyes were strange, and his friend always seemed to know everything in advance and be prepared.

"Forgotten? I have eyes that see through the future. ”

Harry pouted, he didn't believe the mythical rhetoric, "Then I'd rather believe that you learned some mysterious magic of divination from the gypsies." ”

"What's next? Do you want to take advantage of the victory to chase and give Watsonton a little hardship? "Young Master Osborne, who holds a grudge, has not forgotten Watsonton's fierce suppression before.

"Don't do anything, someone will do justice for us." Sean glanced at the newspaper on the table, presumably the owner of the daily newspaper Clarion should have received his kindness in return.

"After all, this is a beacon of freedom and democracy." The corners of the young man's mouth hooked up a smile, and there was a faint sarcasm in his tone.
