Life Dungeon Game

"He spent his whole life working on this, but he gained nothing. No one was willing to help him. Even when new conglomerates were willing to contact him, they were only interested in getting a share of the cleaning company alliance. Once they got the benefits, they would immediately cut ties with his grandfather."

“Grandpa is never happy when he comes back, but he tries to avoid me.”

"But all of this ended when I was seventeen. My grandfather was assassinated by a cleaning company while he was out buying medicine. They could no longer tolerate him. Although he eventually returned to Zarot alive, he was seriously injured."

“He replaced my eye with the best prosthetic eye available at the time, bought me many beautiful clothes, and asked an acquaintance to find me a good job in the St. Rothschild district. He wanted me to leave.”

Hashi's eyes flickered, and she smiled. "Actually, I knew from the beginning why Grandpa adopted me. I have a grudge against the Huierme Foundation. Although I was a homeless child, I was registered at birth, have my own social security account, and am a federal citizen with legal status."

citizen.

"The scavengers have worked hard for many years, but they still haven't been able to enter the society of Wetland and find their allies. So my grandfather placed his hopes on me, hoping that I could realize the ideals of him and all the scavengers of the past."

"But this old man hesitated in the end. He didn't want to put this burden on my shoulders, especially after he was assassinated. He began to fear that I would repeat his fate."

"But you eventually convinced him?"

He Ao said slowly.

"Um,"

Hai Xi nodded. "After my grandfather died, I became the priestess of the scavengers and inherited his talent sequence. During the time I was gradually promoted, I began to use my status as a normal federal citizen to build my own power in the West District, and eventually I got to where I am now."

She turned to look at He Ao, giving him an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry to have made you hear such a long story."

"So what happened to that gang leader who blinded you?"

He Ao asked with a smile.

“He did a lot of bad things, and I blinded him and broke his arms and legs, but I didn’t leave him on the street. Instead, I left him at his headquarters and left right in front of him.”

Hai Xi smiled and said, "When I went to see him the next day, he was already dead. His body was covered in wounds, including knife wounds and gunshot wounds. His underlings said they didn't know what had happened the night before, but they were all covered in blood."

"It seems he is indeed unpopular."

He Ao nodded slightly.

His question immediately eased the slightly awkward atmosphere.

A gentle breeze ruffled Hai Xi's short, burgundy hair. She turned to look at He Ao, "So what about you? You're clearly a professor..."

"Do you remember that C-level officer who caught up with us at the Huierme Medical Building that day? Do you think there's anything wrong with his abilities?"

He Ao did not answer directly, but asked slowly.

“His strength was weaker than that of a normal C-rank, and he didn’t control it very well,” Hai Xi recalled, speaking slowly. “It looked like he was promoted with the help of some external force, and his state when he died was also somewhat strange.”

"Gene-generating agents,"

He reached out and grasped the pendant on his chest. The entrance to the Zarot neighborhood was already in front of him. He looked at Hayes and asked, "Can I borrow a gun?"

"Ok?"

Hai Xi was taken aback, then she quickly pulled a powerful pistol from her jacket and handed it to He Ao.

"Thank you."

He put down his sparkling water, took the pistol, and continued, "Please have the car in front turn its steering wheel all the way to the left."

"it is good."

Hai Xi immediately picked up a walkie-talkie and repeated He Ao's words into it.

At the same time, He Ao raised his pistol, turned around, and aimed it at the old building behind him.

The SUV in front suddenly turned sharply left and veered to the edge of the street.

boom--

The scorching bullet ripped through the cool night sky, grazing the frame of the SUV before striking the road ahead.

If the SUV hadn't turned left, the bullet would have struck DeSanchez, who was sitting in the back seat, right in the back of the head.

At the same time, Heo pulled the trigger.

boom--

With a loud gunshot, a sniper lying on the edge of a sniper rifle in a distant building froze, fell backward, and blood covered his face.

He Ao turned around, looked at the dumbfounded Hai Xi, and as if nothing had happened, handed the gun to Hai Xi and continued softly,

"The person behind the scenes killed my father, my mother, and my wife in order to research something that could enhance the power of superhumans. Now, he wants to kill me. It's that simple."

Hai Xi slowly closed her small mouth. People in the SUV in front were rushing out of the car in a panic. She looked at He Ao, at this man who had a chilling madness hidden beneath his gentle and refined appearance, and said, "So, what are you going to do?"

“I think the same way you do,” Heo smiled, “Let those who blind others be blinded.”

He slowly released his grip on the pendant, and the chip containing Ned's negative information and the flow of those genetic drug raw materials lay quietly in his palm.

Later, I got a bit stuck on the writing and spent a long time writing. I should be able to update by noon tomorrow (I'm sure).

Chapter 579 Charity Business (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The silent night was torn apart by a faint glow, and the horizon began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Inside the conference room in the Zaro district, Heo, wearing a coat, Haisi, whose body was wrapped in bandages, and DeSanke, with a furrowed brow, were standing around the conference table, watching the documents being projected onto the smart conference table.

The underground doctor that Haixi found has already left.

After the group returned to the Zarot region in the early morning, the underground doctor first gave all three of them a physical examination, and then treated them individually.

Of the three, Hai Xi's injuries were the most severe. Although she chatted normally with He Ao with a smile last night, several of her injuries were almost fatal, and she was only holding on by relying on her physical strength.

The doctor performed a major operation on her and was busy until an hour or two ago. He Ao wanted her to rest, but she stubbornly sat at the conference table.

DeSanker's injuries were much better than Haisey's. He had received some simple stitches and was still able to keep going. However, since he was not a superhuman, his body was actually weaker.

As for He Ao, the doctor did not prescribe any medication, because He Ao was intentionally controlling his condition. His physical injuries were not severe; rather, he was experiencing weakness of the soul and fatigue of the body.

Instead, Hai Xi took out some medicinal soup that she had previously prepared with extraordinary plants and gave it to He Ao to drink.

Hai Xi's talent sequence is 'Pharmacologist'. Although she is not as good as that underground doctor in surgery and treating external injuries, she is most skilled in drug preparation, patient recuperation and recovery.

He Ao could clearly sense that the medicinal soup contained ingredients that could restore the soul, and he wondered if it contained corpse flower.

He Ao had originally expected his body to take about two days to recover, but with the help of Hai Xi's medicinal soup, he was almost fully recovered by now.

The three of them stared at the documents on the table, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

These documents are mainly negative material about Ned.

“These materials were ‘sold’ to me by an insider at the charitable foundation,”

Sitting in the chair, Hai Xi said slowly, "She was one of Ned's mistresses. She originally tried to replace Ned's current wife and take her place, but Ned kept coaxing her, making her lose hope. So she came up with the idea of ​​selling these documents, making a quick buck and leaving."

"Of course, she wasn't a good person either. She used her position as Ned's mistress to become one of the managers of the Whelmey Charitable Foundation. Then she used this power to embezzle the foundation's money to make illegal high-interest loans, and hired some gangs in the West End to collect the loans for her, which led to the deaths of many people."

"Besides that, many of Ned's affairs passed through her hands,"

At this point, Hai Xi paused for a moment, "For example, they would distribute food to homeless children in the West District under the name of the Huiermei Charitable Foundation, and then 'take away' some of the healthier, younger homeless children."

"Of course, this may not have originated with them; the Wrermite Foundation may have been doing this kind of thing for a long time."

Upon hearing this, He Ao looked up at Hai Xi.

He vaguely remembered that Hai Xi had said something at that charity gala.

When she was homeless, she used to line up to receive food from the Wellcome Charity Foundation. Some children did receive delicious food back then, but after that, those children disappeared.

The whereabouts of these 'taken away' children are not recorded in the documents, but based on He Ao's previous experience, most of these children will be sent to 'orphanages' under the Huiermei Charitable Foundation, and then adopted by middle-class families who have paid high 'adoption donations'.

The Nolanca Group in Kaya City used to own orphanages that did this kind of 'business'. When Heo was reforming, he reported them to the Kaya City Police Department, which led to the arrest of a group of directors and managers. They no longer exist.

Families with adoption needs and the ability to pay high adoption fees are ultimately a minority, and so are the children who meet the requirements. Therefore, these children need to be carefully selected.

If the chosen child is lucky, their future may be changed.

However, the Wellcome Charitable Foundation will inevitably earn a considerable 'price difference' from it.

"Was that mistress the host of that charity gala?"

He asked slowly, "Is she still alive?"

“My people haven’t heard from her since,” Haixi shook her head. “She’s most likely been silenced. She was greedy and took a lot of money from me.”

In fact, it can be seen from the situation when Hai Xi was ambushed at the Huiermei Medical Building that the mistress had already been exposed. However, the mastermind behind that ambush was holding back, casting a long line to catch a big fish, and preparing to drag Hai Xi into the net and catch them all at once.

Therefore, they felt free to let Haixi communicate and make deals with that mistress, because in their eyes, Haixi and the mistress were already dead.

Their plan was indeed perfect, provided that He Ao wasn't involved.

"Based on this information,"

DeSanker, who was standing nearby, scrolled through several documents, his voice somewhat subdued, "The 'income' of the Whelmey Charitable Foundation is very high."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Doing charity is also a 'good business'."

According to the internal financial report of the Huiermei Charitable Foundation provided by the mistress, its largest source of income is 'charitable donations,' accounting for 50% to 60%.

In addition to asking celebrities to 'fundraise' and 'pledge' at charity galas, they also place advertisements on various video or information platforms, piecing together or even fabricating facts to evoke people's sympathy and attract small donations, and then 'manipulate' these donations into 'income'.

There are many steps involved here.

For example, they could raise the management fee to the maximum required by Waitland law, and fabricate various expenses in addition to the management fee, directly 'consuming' most of the funds raised.

For example, they claimed they would distribute clothes to homeless children and sold cheap cotton-padded clothes that cost only 15 federal dollars each for 150 federal dollars.

In addition, there is room for maneuver in the distribution of food.

Hey had previously mentioned that when she was a homeless child, the Welly Foundation claimed that everyone would receive milk, meat, and a large loaf of bread when they distributed food to them, but in reality, they only received a small piece of expired and sour black bread.

Of course, in addition to charitable donations, the 'orphanage operation' that He Ao previously speculated about, and the illegal high-interest loans that Hai Xi mentioned earlier, are also major sources of income for charitable foundations.

It wasn't just Ned's mistress who was doing the lending; the Whirlpool Charitable Foundation was also involved.

All these various sources of income add up to the annual profit of the Huiermei Charitable Foundation, which can sometimes reach tens of millions of federal dollars.

It is already stronger than many federally listed companies.

Compared to DeSanchez's surprise, Hesy remained calm because she had truly been a penniless homeless child and could more personally experience the 'hypocrisy' of the Wellcome Charitable Foundation.

She placed her hand on the table. “Some of these ‘profits’ were laundered and flowed into Ned’s own campaign support group, some went into the Whelmey Foundation and became part of the foundation’s profits, and the rest became Ned’s private treasury.”

She opened a document and said slowly.
