I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 586: The essence of aristocratic families and capital consortiums can be summed up in two words: cannibalism!

What happened on "Yuanchu Star" was ultimately not spread out. Not only did it fail to attract widespread attention, but it also sounded the clarion call for the noble families to take action.

Television and the Internet were flooded with news about the "American Civil War". Young people were enthusiastically discussing the developments of the war, wishing they could take over and become powerful generals.

Only middle-aged people who need to support their families and elderly people whose vital interests have been damaged have become victims of this large-scale "quota adjustment", welcoming the butcher knife of noble families and silently licking their wounds.

Unfortunately, the elderly people whose passion has cooled down do not have the determination and physical strength to fight to the end, and the middle-aged people who have elderly parents and young children to take care of do not have the courage to fight to the end, and can only endure everything silently in the end.

"Why did it turn out like this?" Liu Xing stood in the cemetery, facing the tombstones of his grandfather and father, his mind full of confusion.

He really couldn't understand why, more than 20 years ago, his grandfather was still boasting about his happy life, but now he had to watch his father being taken away by the powerful.

What went wrong that caused the world to change so drastically in just over twenty years?

He really can't figure it out!
Although he had attended university, political economy and some required ideological courses had long since disappeared from university textbooks. The once young Liu Xing was unwilling to read these boring books, and preferred to hide under the quilt and read novels on his personal terminal.

"Because this 'Yuanchu Star' is now named Tang."

There was a man who looked to be in his fifties standing in front of a brand new tombstone. He seemed to have heard Liu Xing's mumbling and talked to himself.

"I've heard before that a noble family was secretly embezzling the land of an entire planet, but I thought it was just an urban legend. I didn't expect it to be true."

"Ah?" Liu Xing turned his head, confused.

"Turning public property into private property and embezzling assets, a group of people did this a hundred years ago." The man sneered, "History is indeed a cycle!"

After saying this, the man turned and left. He didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Xing, nor did he care whether he could understand or not.

"What?" Liu Xing really didn't understand and was still confused.

As for the sober middle-aged man, he got on a black business car at the entrance of the cemetery.

"Old Chen, the data from the third experiment should have come out. We can't delay any longer!"

There was another person in the car, wearing thick glasses, with thinning hair and a look of worry in his eyes.

"Our laboratory was built when Mr. Lin was here. I had just graduated at that time. Mr. Lin personally planned the research direction for us and provided me with research ideas. Now we have finally achieved results according to his ideas."

The old man wearing glasses is named Xu Gaohua. He is nearly sixty years old, but he smiles happily when he recalls the past.

"This achievement must be made public and used to benefit our compatriots. This is the unfulfilled wish of General Lin!"

"I know." Chen Che nodded, but sneered: "But do you think the president of Lin Group and Mr. Lin's three children will choose to make our research results public after knowing them?"

"It's their business how to choose. We can't let Mr. Lin down!" Xu Gaohua said solemnly, "Don't forget, we all completed our studies with the financial support of Mr. Lin. Your father also passed the review and became the first generation of immigrants with the endorsement of the Lin Group..."

Perhaps because he knew it was inappropriate to say this right at the entrance of the cemetery, Xu Gaohua quickly stopped talking.

"Well, my uncle had an accident, and no one wants to see this. But you can't blame the Lin family for this accident, right?" "I won't vent my anger on Mr. Lin's descendants for no reason, but I still hold the same opinion as before. I don't believe that the Lin family will choose to make our research results public after knowing them." Chen Che insisted on his opinion.

"Forget it, let's not argue about this for now. Let's bring the research data back to Earth first..."

Xu Gaohua's words were interrupted by a video request that popped up on his personal terminal, and he clicked to answer it.

"what happened?"

"Teacher, the results of the third experiment are out. Just like the previous two times, it can be confirmed that the genetically modified agent has been initially perfected and has the conditions for conducting real-life experiments." The person in the video is Xu Gaohua's student and assistant, who is reporting the results to him with a happy face.

"Great!" Xu Gaohua was overjoyed. He turned to look at Chen Che and said excitedly, "We can now bring the complete data back to Earth and let the Lin Group communicate with the government to recruit volunteers for the next step of real-life experiments."

Chen Che did not say anything, so Xu Gaohua used voice control to activate the car's automatic driving mode and asked the black commercial vehicle to take them back to the laboratory.

This biological laboratory located on "Yuanchu Star" was specially selected and built by Lin Hao more than 30 years ago.

In order to fill this laboratory, Lin Hao started to look for a group of talented young people decades ago and sponsored them to go to school. After they completed their studies, he brought a group of young people who were interested in engaging in biological research to this laboratory on "Yuanchu Star" according to their personal wishes.

However, just a few years after the laboratory was built, Lin Hao suddenly "passed away". He only had time to make a start and provide some research directions and ideas for these young people.

However, with Lin Hao's means, what he left behind was equivalent to a road with a solid foundation. This group of young people only needed to fill it in step by step to achieve results naturally.

Of course, the brains of these young people cannot compare to Lin Hao's amazing brain, so it took a full thirty years to advance to this point today.

However, faced with the hard-earned results, this group of no longer young researchers had disagreements.

"According to the law, our laboratory still belongs to the Lin Group. The expenses over the years have also been funded by the Lin Group, including our salaries and benefits. Now that we have achieved results, they belong to the Lin Group according to the law."

"I disagree! Our funding actually comes from the fund established by the Lin Group. This fund has been operating independently since the time when Mr. Lin was still alive. To put it bluntly, the current Lin family probably doesn't even know the existence of our laboratory!"

"Even if they don't know, they still have legal ownership. We can't just embezzle Mr. Lin's assets, right? We should be honest. We are where we are today thanks to Mr. Lin's funding. If we go against our conscience and embezzle the results, how can we be worthy of Mr. Lin's spirit in heaven?"

"Mr. Lin's last wish was to make the results public for the benefit of all compatriots. If we report the results to the Lin Group, do you think the second and third generations of the Lin family will choose to make the results public?"

Chen Che said loudly: "They will most likely use this achievement as a stepping stone to curry favor with the noble families!"

"Everyone has seen what the noble families can do recently. After the Tang family embezzled the 'Yuanchu Star', they finally couldn't help but start to take action against the immigrants. Today, they cut the reimbursement amount by 40%. What about tomorrow?"

"Although they deliberately blocked the news about the 'Rockefeller incident' thirty years ago, is there any planet under American control that doesn't have a 'human breeding farm'?"

"The aristocratic families and the capital consortium are just different names. They are all power groups with family blood as the bond. Their essence is the same!"

"Just two words: cannibalism!"
