Half a year ago, Hubert received an internal report: Dr. Helen from the new antibiotic research laboratory had been abducted, and not just her, but also the experimental data and materials, all taken from the company headquarters!
Two months ago, Hubert received even more alarming news: an obscure small company had reported to the Pegurose government and contacted the Pharmaceutical Administration to initiate a review of the new antibiotic.
And what was most infuriating was that the approval for these new antibiotics actually passed!
Heh heh, Hubert initially dismissed it as a joke. A small company he'd never even heard of was presumptuously claiming to have developed a new antibiotic.
They were mocking the major giants of the global pharmaceutical industry. Did they know how much money Inmina Company had poured into researching new antibiotics?
Over two hundred billion Jenny!
Even with that, they had only made progress and were still a distance away from complete success.
Something like a new antibiotic should rightfully be developed by Inmina Company, a company as wealthy and as rich in scientific talent as they were!
And now, if it weren't for the disappearance of the research director responsible for developing the new antibiotic, how could a small company possibly...
"Dr. Helen Stuart…"
While Hubert's mind was seething, his thoughts were racing. He quickly pinpointed the key: the missing Dr. Helen, along with the technical data and materials that disappeared with her.
In an instant, Hubert's eyes widened, and veins bulged.
He paced to his desk and stared intently at the news on his computer. An uncontrollable rage surged from deep within Hubert.
Umbrella Biotechnology Company!
Dr. Helen Stuart!
And the personnel responsible for related incidents within the company, as well as the investigators from relevant agencies in the Adimei United States, were all utterly useless!
"Bang!"
Hubert slammed his fist on the desk, knocking over numerous documents and the teacup on the surface. Tea and leaves spilled out together.
These people must pay for their actions!
"Knock, knock, knock…"
A knock sounded at the door. Hubert sat back in his office chair, closed his eyes, and meditated for a moment, regaining his composure. Then he said,
"Come in."
The door clicked open, and a middle-aged man in an expensive suit and glasses entered, walking slowly to Hubert's desk.
"Have you seen the news already?"
He noticed the messy documents and the overturned teacup on the desk, thinking to himself.
His name was Isaiah, and he was the deputy pharmaceutical director of Inmina Company. He looked at Hubert, who was calmly staring at the computer screen from his office chair, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed.
This was not a good sign. The calmer Hubert appeared, the stronger the coming storm would be. A strong sense of danger enveloped Isaiah, as if someone had placed a noose around his neck and left him on a gallows.
"These are the latest findings."
Isaiah placed the documents on Hubert's desk, his tone flat.
Hubert picked up the documents, opened them, casually flipped through a few pages, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice,
"Is that all?"
"That's all for now. If you need more, I can send more people to investigate."
Isaiah adjusted his glasses, a flash of white light glinting off the lenses, and said calmly.
"Heh heh, Isaiah, is this all you're doing now?"
Hubert opened his eyes and stared directly at Isaiah, releasing the oppressive aura of a company executive.
"Our enemies have already aimed their guns at us and pulled the trigger."
"And you!"
"You're just now preparing to load the bullets into the magazine!"
Hubert's eyes were cold, and his tone was even colder. Seeing that Isaiah was unfazed by his pressure, he closed his eyes and said,
"Isaiah, I think you've been too comfortable lately and want a change of pace."
"How about this: all your business on the Adimei North Coast will be transferred to Wen Lun."
"As for you, go take charge of the business on the Kakin Empire Southwest Coast. That area's business hasn't seen any improvement in a long time."
Isaiah's calm expression darkened. He knew all too well what the Kakin Empire Southwest Coast was like. It bordered the Chaotic Triangle Area. Sending him there was an attempt to crush him at the bottom of a canyon, never to rise again.
"You're an elite from headquarters; I have full confidence in your abilities."
"As long as you have strength, you can distinguish yourself anywhere."
Isaiah lowered his head slightly. The morning sun shone on him, reflecting a glint from his glasses.
"Do you need me to show you out?"
Hubert sat in his office chair, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
Isaiah turned and walked towards the office door, grasped the doorknob, and glanced at Hubert from the corner of his eye before leaving.
"Bang!"
The door closed, and Isaiah left without a word. The spacious office returned to silence.
Hubert opened his eyes, his fingers moving across the keyboard as he accessed a website.
The new antibiotic situation was a done deal, but now, he had to find a way to salvage the situation and compensate the company for its losses.
Hubert knew very well what a huge impact the emergence of a new antibiotic would have on the medical world and the entire world, especially at a time when old antibiotics were becoming increasingly ineffective.
He could fully anticipate the extent to which Inmina Company's global operations would be affected.
But what Hubert didn't know was that this was only the beginning.
At the same time, not only Inmina, a giant in the industry, focused its attention on Umbrella Company, but major industry giants from countries worldwide also shifted their gaze to this emerging biotechnology company, Umbrella.
How did this obscure, unheard-of, unknown small company manage to overcome challenges that these giants, with their immense capital, could not?
Meanwhile, these industry giants were also pressuring Umbrella Biotechnology Company through their own means.
However, all of this was blocked by the Pegurose government.

Pegurose, Umbrella Company Headquarters.
Illumi and King Bradley sat and stood respectively, looking at the high-definition television screen descending from the ceiling. King Bradley was in a remote video conference with Alvin.
"Don't relax; now is the most critical moment."
King Bradley stood to the left of the sofa, holding a glass of wine, and said sternly.
"I understand."
"Starting at 13:00 this afternoon, major pharmaceutical companies will gradually contact us, including Inmina Company."
"I'm not anxious at all right now; in fact, it's the corporate representatives who are coming to meet us who are anxious."
Alvin held a dice between his index and middle fingers. One might think he was a gambler, but in reality, this was Alvin's preparation for the upcoming negotiations.
His ability, Financial Elite's Game, could be used for more than just combat. It had other applications as well.
Illumi glanced deeply at the dice in Alvin's hand but said nothing, merely taking a sip of the red wine in his glass.
With the research and production of the new antibiotic, Umbrella Company was about to get on track, and now was their time to rise. As the company, as a collective, grew stronger, the subordinates within this collective would also gradually grow stronger and more confident.
And now, these individuals, who were already elites, began to stir with their own intentions.
With the release of Umbrella-a's new antibiotic, these veterans who joined the company and became core high-level executives, privy to the company's true secrets, all had a clear vision for the company's future.
In the near future, Umbrella Biotechnology Company was bound to become an unimaginably colossal multinational monopoly, ten times stronger than Inmina Company.
Especially with the research and development of Nen, this peculiar life energy, Umbrella Company was destined to be involved in high-tech industries such as pharmaceuticals, biology, military, materials, and energy.
By then, each of these ventures, taken individually, would generate enormous profit chains, and the terrifying cumulative effect of all these things would make Umbrella Company a truly powerful organization.
Precisely because he understood these secrets, Alvin, once a financial elite, began to harbor ulterior motives.
Illumi saw it clearly, but he wouldn't interfere. As long as their ideas were beneficial to the company, he wouldn't meddle.
Moreover, as long as they were human, greed was inevitable.
Within an interest group, everyone would want to occupy a higher position and wield greater power.
And to climb higher, one would naturally have to contribute more to that interest group to achieve a corresponding status.
Illumi, who had been scrambling in the corporate world for two years in his previous life, naturally understood this principle.
With his Emotion Perception ability, he could more or less discern the thoughts of his subordinates.
But desire is the driving force of human progress, and having such a desire in their hearts would allow them to serve him better.
"Not only profit, but political factors must also be considered."
Illumi reminded him. They relied on Pegurose and received strong support from the Pegurose government, so they had to give some benefits.
"I understand, boss."
Alvin nodded seriously. As someone who had been active in global financial centers for ten years, he naturally understood this.
But Illumi was his true boss, so he wouldn't be so tactless as to claim he had already considered it.
Nor would he deliberately flatter. If flattery worked for someone of Illumi's caliber, he wouldn't have reached his current heights.
"Then, I'll take my leave."
Alvin said sternly. King Bradley nodded slightly, and Alvin's face disappeared.
The high-definition television screen flickered, and the Umbrella Company logo appeared, spinning rapidly.
A black and white umbrella, shielding a globe, symbolizing its role as a protective umbrella for humanity on Earth.
