Currently, DeSanc's approval rating is around 13%, which is several times lower than Ned's. In addition, Ned has the support of the Huerme Medical Foundation, so DeSanc can only annoy the Huerme Medical Foundation. It is almost impossible for him to challenge Ned.

Upon hearing this answer, DeSanker was silent for a moment. He turned to look at the bright moon in the sky. "How is he now?"

Although DeSanker has some thoughts, he is too naive and a complete novice.

In this situation, Qunxing Pharmaceuticals will certainly try every means to maintain its leading position in the industry.

He then fell silent for a moment, seemingly having grasped some key points, and looked at He Ao, "Was this an assassination?"

He replied slowly.

Hai Xi seemed to notice He Ao's exhaustion. She carefully leaned against He Ao so that she could reach out and support him if he suddenly collapsed. However, she did not get too close, maintaining a certain personal distance.

DeSank looked in the direction Heo was looking. It was very dark around him, with few windows and very little moonlight. He couldn't see what Heo was looking at, so he took the bracelet back from Haixi, turned on the flashlight, and looked in that direction.

"Yes, I know, he's the current mayor of Chenxi City."

To the cleaning company alliance led by Huiermei Cleaning Company, even if Haixi is a C-level, even if he is the number one middleman in the Vitland underworld, he is actually just a slightly larger ant.

Of course, they didn't want another Christos to emerge from Witland, so they only invested a small amount of money in DeSanchez, enough to give him influence over the Whelmey Medical Foundation.

"Similar questions have been asked before."

He was ambushed and killed by the Whelmey Foundation the first time, and assassinated the second time when he met with De Sanch.

"In a sense, you can understand it as such."

"He is very famous. Not long ago, he pushed for a healthcare reform that shocked the entire federal government. But you may not know that when he first took office last year, he pushed for the Wilderness Immigration Act. Before that act, the Wilderness Immigration Act was the same as that of scavengers, and they were people without status."

"can."

“Oh, right,” Hashi suddenly remembered something and continued, “I’ve already contacted my people using DeSanchez’s phone. They’re on their way. I’ve also contacted the doctor. Do you want to…”

Take it back and check it.

"I am ready."

"However, they didn't invest too much money in me. They just helped me with the initial operations and then helped me intermittently, which allowed me to naturally gain a certain level of fame. After that, I used this fame to build many chain social groups, which spread my fame and also got to know Haixi."

"Are you collecting negative material about Ned?"

"So I have to take advantage of the moment when the impact is greatest to release these things, at least to prevent Ned from acting so recklessly again."

“If that leader of the wilderness wanderers can sacrifice himself, then I can sacrifice myself. If my sacrifice can bring a better future to countless scavengers and break the centuries-old shackles of the Scavenger Tree, then my sacrifice will be worthwhile.”

For someone of her caliber, reaching out at that distance would be an instantaneous thing.

DeSanker's philosophy is very similar to Christos's, and Star Pharmaceuticals, which had just suffered a heavy blow from Christos, was well aware of Christos's appeal.

"it is good."

"But the emergence of this bill made me realize that there are people in this world who want to change these injustices. The Wilderness Immigration Act is said to have been initiated by Christos because of the sacrifice of a wilderness leader."

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at De Sank beside him.

"Is Qunxing Pharmaceuticals the one that provided you with the funding?"

In the third official instance, after Heo killed the dancer Kiko, Christos asked him a similar question.

“DeSanker promised me that if he became a senator, he would do his best to help scavengers obtain normal federal citizenship.”

He Ao nodded in agreement.

He looked at Hai Xi and asked in a low voice.

He Ao continued to ask.

DeSanker didn't hide anything. He said directly, "I wasn't this famous before. At that time, people from Star Pharmaceuticals approached me and said they wanted to cooperate with me. They didn't need me to make any political promises. They just needed me to run for senator against Ned."

At this moment, DeSanke caught up with the two and stood beside them, looking up at the bright moon.

"On the road to trying."

Given the current situation, it's clear that Ned is being supported by the Huierme Medical Foundation. Although Qunxing Pharmaceuticals' influence in Wetterland is not as great as that of the Huierme Medical Foundation, it's quite normal for them to support DeSank, a rival of Ned, to annoy the Huierme Medical Foundation.

After being impacted by a series of negative events related to Fountain of Youth, Qunxing Pharmaceuticals also faced Christos's healthcare reforms, and its stock price has never recovered to the top ten.

She looked up at He Ao and took out a micro-storage chip from the inside pocket of her jacket. "Data in the Whitland underworld is generally not traded online, but offline. If you have software from large conglomerates like the Trison Group or the Nord Consortium installed on your bracelet when you read this data, it's best to disconnect from the internet."

While the Huiermei Medical Foundation, originally ranked second, was also impacted, the damage was not as severe as that suffered by Qunxing Pharmaceuticals. This shift in power has led to a reversal of fortunes between the two previously closely ranked companies.

The conglomerates are getting closer.

Although the Zarote region is isolated, poor, and ostracized, this very isolation makes it almost monolithic, making it difficult for the Mysterious Man's people to infiltrate, thus making it a suitable safe house.

She smiled and said, "Actually, at that time, I was completely desperate. I couldn't think of any way to fight against the cleaning company or the Huiermei Medical Foundation. I thought that the world was probably just this unfair. The fate of every scavenger was probably determined from birth. They could not change it and should not change it."

What answer did he get?

"You might think I'm a bit reckless and overconfident."

If she hadn't met He Ao, Hai Xi would already be a corpse in the crematorium furnace.

She paused, then explained softly.

He gazed at the man before him, the one who, besides Ned, was the most promising candidate to become a senator.

Wade has proven that the Mysterious Man has the ability to create incomplete Grade B gene serums, but these serums do not appear to be perfect and contain some kind of secret, which is why the Mysterious Man has not used them before.

DeSanchez turned to look at Heo.

Hai Xi nodded. She didn't hide anything. He Ao had gone through the party and the chase with her. With He Ao's keen senses, he could naturally find out something. She went to the charity gala of the Huiermei Medical Foundation to exchange information with the Huiermei Charity Foundation's informant.

In the distance, lights flickered in the night. The three of them had reached the building's exit and could see the dilapidated road with broken streetlights when they turned their heads.

In He's memory, the old-school politicians of the Federation were mostly experienced and shrewd. Even Ned seemed meticulous and steady in his work. But DeSanke didn't seem like any of the old-school politicians He had imagined.

Moreover, it seems that underhanded tactics between Starsun Pharmaceuticals and the Huierme Medical Foundation have become commonplace.

The moonlight shone on her blood-stained face. "Even if my sacrifice brought nothing, there will always be someone who follows the path I have walked to change the world, just as I am now following the path that leader of the wilderness wanderers once walked."

For seasoned politicians, first impressions are based on self-interest, and what Haysey can offer is certainly not as much as the monopolistic alliance of cleaning companies that Witland possesses.

"Here is the data you requested,"

“Yes,” DeSanke nodded.

“My approval rating is declining, and the Huiermei Medical Foundation is trying to weaken my influence. I don’t know if I will still have such a strong influence until the next election, or even if I will live to see the next election.”

"You guys..." At this moment, DeSank also ran over, panting heavily. He put his hands on his knees, looked around, and asked, "Is that person dead? Or did he escape?"

"I've been thinking about this just now,"

"Um,"

After what happened before, Hai Xi has basically proven that she can be trusted, so He Ao doesn't mind going to Hai Xi's safe house for a while.

He Ao nodded, turned and walked outside, with Hai Xi following beside him, while De Sank walked at a distance behind them.

A quiet silence spread among the crowd.

He was somewhat naive, his gaze not so sharp, and his eyes, unlike those of seasoned politicians, were not calm and collected, but rather filled with a certain hope.

He Ao looked at the bright moon and said softly.

This was an assassination attempt in itself. If it weren't for Heo's presence, DeSanc and Hayes would have been killed or captured by Wade in the end.

The first to break the silence was DeSanke, who had been silent the whole time: "That Wade is a talented person. If he had an environment where he could display his talents and use them without restraint, could he eventually become an outstanding scientist?"

At this moment, at the end of the road, it seemed as if lights were approaching; it was the people Haixi had summoned who were on their way.

After Heo confirmed his idea, DeSanke fell into a quiet silence, no longer speaking, but just thinking about something.

"This is it."

Unlike Christos, who had served as a city councilor for many years before running for mayor, had a thorough understanding of the political rules of Dawn City and had a group of strong allies who could provide him with financial support.

"May I see the information you obtained about Ned?"

He Ao asked slowly.

Hai Xi reached out and took out another storage chip, handing it to He Ao, "This is a backup."

We have guests coming over, so updates might be a bit irregular these next couple of days. I'll try my best to update around midnight (lol). If there's no update at midnight, I'll update around noon.

Chapter 578 The Blind Man (Two chapters combined, please vote!)

The Mercedes-Benz SUV sped forward, the cool night wind brushing against He Ao's cheeks.

The memory chip containing Ned's negative information flipped between his fingers, moving like a serpent between them.

He held the other memory chip between his fingers.

His gaze fell ahead. Hey had called two cars, and DeSanke was sitting in the front one.

At this moment, He Ao was sitting on the roof of the car behind, his gaze sweeping across the old buildings around him as the moonlight shone through.

The Zarote neighborhood is located in the western part of the West End, near the North Witland area, and is one of the earliest components of the West End.

From Plante to Zarote, you have to drive vertically through the chaotic West End. Sitting on the roof of the car gives Heo a better view and helps him avoid dangers hidden in the crowds or nearby buildings.

While federal traffic regulations are generally similar, there are many differences in the details between different cities.

For example, in Chenxi City, passengers are not allowed to stick their limbs out of the vehicle or sit on the roof; those who do so will be fined.

In contrast, the city of Whitland has no such detailed regulations; passengers can ride however they like, and can even stand upside down on the hood of the vehicle.

However, if an accident occurs in this situation, the insurance company may refuse to provide coverage.

In Vettel, it is legal for Ho to sit on the roof of a car like this.

As He Ao's gaze swept across his surroundings, he also reviewed the day's events.

The mysterious man sent Wade to kill DeSanchez and Hayes, and luring Howe into the trap was Wade's own arrangement.

In other words, the mysterious man's original plan was not to take direct action against Heo. This can be seen from the fact that when Heo was in the mental hospital, the mysterious man contacted the FBI instead of sending someone himself with that incomplete Grade B gene drug to deal with Heo.

Even with the existence of that Grade B gene serum, the mysterious man probably still has some concerns, either because he doesn't have enough manpower or because he has other plans.

Judging from the mysterious man's previous actions, he is a very conservative person. To ambush and kill the D-rank Jess in the alley, he sent a mercenary squad and also sent a C-rank.

When chasing He Ao, he took out dozens of D-level gene serums and three C-level gene serums. From Wade's words, it can also be inferred that the mysterious person also sent C-level serums to support the mercenaries, but they arrived too late and did not encounter He Ao.

If it weren't for He Ao leading the battle in the abandoned building, catching the mercenaries off guard and quickly completing the fight, without giving the mysterious man a chance to mobilize more forces...
