I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 233 Dismantling the Sap Group: The Judge's Ruthless Methods (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Miller drove the carriage, escorting Evan all the way to Guding Street.

By the time they reached Guding Street, the fighting there was nearing its end.

Although those elite bodyguards in three-piece suits looked fierce.

However, after fighting to the death for so long, only a dozen or so people were injured, and not a single person died.

It's obvious that the leader isn't stupid.

So many vampires who secretly infiltrated disappeared without a trace, which shows that the defenses on the supernatural side inside are very tight.

Even if they manage to break through, it won't end well.

Although the gang of thugs from the Gus gang were all injured to varying degrees, Gus was still considered a competent leader.

The injured were all taken to several nearby clinics for emergency treatment.

Apart from the few who initially planned to escape and were permanently expelled from the gang, the rest received substantial rewards.

Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, an exquisitely designed, black four-wheeled carriage rolled through the muddy snow and came to a stop outside the old red-brick apartment building.

Miller stepped out of the car as the dim gas streetlights on both sides and the two brass lanterns on the vehicle reflected each other's light.

Edward and Herbert carried Evan down from the carriage on a stretcher.

Having already received advance notice, Richard and the others quickly took Ivan in and escorted him back to his house.

"You've had a tough trip," Richard said with gratitude.

Miller smiled and said, "It was just a car ride and a few words."

As he spoke, a hint of eagerness appeared on his face: "I was thinking of fighting with the capitalists of Bolton City, but I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly."

"I've always wanted to let these capitalists taste the iron fist of taxation that I developed."

"It seems there's no chance this time."

Richard laughed heartily: "Indeed, it can only be said that Sap died very quickly."

"If Sap is still struggling now and shows signs of success, the whole city is likely to descend into riots."

Miller nodded in agreement: "Dr. Armitage asked me to pass on a message that after this recovery, Arkham can go to the University of Michigan for a short-term training course."

"Although we don't know at this stage why that immortal witch has been quiet lately."

"But going back to his hometown first to find out the situation will ultimately be good for his future."

Richard nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him the news after he wakes up."

Miller patted Richard's broad shoulder: "I'll be staying at the Healing Church's chapel for a while now. Feel free to come find me anytime if you need anything."

Miller then drove the carriage away into the night, accompanied by Edward and Herbert, the two lively boys.

After that, there were no major incidents. Richard and his two companions stayed with Evan from dawn till dusk, and then from dusk till dawn again.

Due to the side effects of the Bloodthirsty Seed, Evan unconsciously woke up once.

Richard had prepared his own blood, and after Evan drank a couple of mouthfuls, he fell asleep again.

Evan slept for a full thirty-six hours before finally waking up with a comfortable groan.

Seeing Ivan's actions, several people hurriedly gathered around.

Then Ivan opened his eyes. The hideous, twisted red hemangiomas in his eyes had faded, and his eyes had returned to their usual clean black and white.

His overall condition changed from being pale and dazed to returning to his usual sunny and cheerful self.

appearance.

Seeing that Ivan was alright, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

When Evan woke up, he saw three big men's heads pressed against his front and instinctively let out a scream.

"Holy crap! I'm straight!"

Upon hearing these confident words, the three of them stood up and burst into laughter.

Before he could speak, his stomach rumbled like thunder.

"Brothers, I'm starving! Can you get me something to eat?"

David nodded immediately: "Yes! I'll go buy it!"

The next hour was spent eating.

As Evan gradually finished the food, which cost a full two dollars, he also heard Richard and the other two tell him about what had happened during their thirty-six hours of sleep.

First, following the death of Sap, the entire Sap Group quickly convened a board meeting.

At the same time that the other party held a board meeting, the municipal government took direct action.

After obtaining the relevant laws and regulations, the supervisory department, tax department, and police department —

A joint enforcement action by numerous official departments swiftly and rigorously investigated and temporarily sealed off the headquarters of the Sap Group, including its mines, factories, and real estate.

Immediately afterwards, various related posters quickly spread throughout Bolton.

These include numerous charges against the SAP Group, such as disregarding human life, human trafficking, operating a cult, tax evasion, enslaving employees, and engaging in illegal business operations.

During this period, all residents of Bolton saw a large number of police officers and even the National Guard join the raid.

Armed police and soldiers entered and exited that mysterious and upscale manor dozens or even hundreds of times, day and night.

All offices of the SAP Group and key personnel were temporarily detained and subjected to intensive interrogation.

It can be said that the SAP Group, which was responsible for the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, was already on the verge of collapse without any warning.

The SAP Group, of course, did not sit idly by and wait for its demise.

With the help of the Chamber of Commerce and their last remaining loyalists, they incited many of the closed-down employees to begin protests and demonstrations throughout the city.

Naturally, these workers were very dissatisfied because their livelihoods were disrupted. The protest of several thousand people quickly expanded to tens of thousands, fueled by relevant departments at various levels.

In an instant, the entire city of Bolton was thrown into chaos.

Protests and demonstrations were everywhere, and clashes were everywhere.

The workers, dressed in tattered clothes, held up crude signs and shouted in the snowy streets, confronting and pushing police officers wielding batons.

Despite the chaotic situation, this has not deterred the determination of the judges' faction.

After all, they had made preparations in advance and had many backup plans.

The entire protest march collapsed abruptly after lasting only one day.

Because of a split within the Sap Group, Sap's daughters and sons are not to be underestimated.

The directors of those groups naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch their shares and assets depreciate.

They quickly made the necessary cuts, and then each joined forces with Sap's sons and daughters to begin actively dismantling the massive Sap Group.

The judges' faction was very satisfied with the outcome and quickly provided policy support.

They later stated that the primary target was members of the notorious cult centered around the Sap Group.

As the entire group split up, the various independent factories and real estate companies that had been seized quickly resumed normal operations.

Although the investigation is ongoing, the livelihoods of these workers have been secured.

After hearing this, Ivan sighed, "It's clear that the judges' faction doesn't want a second Sap to emerge."

David nodded: "Lord-level factory owners are still too difficult to deal with."

"The faction on the judges' side now prefers relatively small and medium-sized capitalists; they won't allow such behemoths to exist for long."

Richard smiled and said, "The evidence currently being brought against those people in the Sap Group is also closely related to you."

Evan, who was stuffing meat into his mouth, suddenly looked up: "Me?"

Richard held a cup of hot tea, which others would find too hot to handle, in his palm.

"Sap is the financial backer of the Alcott family, and the relationship between the two sides is very close."

"When the Alcott Manor was seized before, there was a lot of dirt on the Sapp family inside."

"It's just that they're selectively releasing information over there, keeping it under wraps."

"Now that the SAP Group has collapsed, all those scandals that were impossible to uncover before have suddenly come to light."

At this point, Richard snorted coldly, "That's quite a clever tactic."

Having seen too many similar tactics, Ivan nodded: "These are not really our concern."

"By the way! How did our commendation go this time? We should be able to get that official position we talked about before, right?"

At this point, David became excited and said, "We can get it! Vic came over personally last night."

"Visiting you also means that I can keep my promises."

"He said that after you wake up, the four of us will go to the police station first."

After crunching and swallowing the last few pieces of beef bone, Ivan immediately stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for!"

"The mission is complete, time to claim the prize!"

The four of them then quickly boarded the carriage.

While in the carriage, Ivan chatted with the three people while glancing at his attribute panel.

Although I slept for 36 hours, a long time has passed.

However, since this batch of potions was mainly used for injections, only one potion has now achieved a reversed effect.

You reversed the quick-acting purifying potion.

Your silver resistance is permanently increased by 10%.

You like the moon more now; Moon affinity +15%.

[The Moon's affinity was reversed from being devoured to: Sun's affinity +15%.]

"The same old story of the sun NTRing the moon."

"At this stage, with the improvement of physical fitness, the effect of the fast-acting purification potion is about the same as that of the regular purification potion."

"Then there's the 5x improvement after the acupuncture —"

"It seems that not all potions have special mechanisms like the Light Potion and the Daylight Potion after being injected with a needle."

"Or is it that only permanent potions can trigger the mechanism?"

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems my development of the power of the Nine Dragons is still not comprehensive enough!"

"This Kowloon tyrant—is truly a pleasant surprise!"

"There's another ultimate solution that will be available in the future!"

The simultaneous injection of nine different potions was part of a plan that Ivan had devised in advance.

The nine potions were prepared in the best proportions possible from the potions he could obtain at this stage.

He had already devised two plans before the battle even began.

One option is to use seven potions, which is relatively safe; the other is to use nine potions, which is more aggressive.

Of the seven versions of potions, there is no Moonlight Potion or Purification Potion.

Because neither of these two drugs offers much help in direct combat.

However, when he finally faced a terrifying lord-level being, Ivan still felt somewhat nervous.

In that fraction of a second of reaction time, he was genuinely worried that in this life-or-death battle, if it really was...

He was killed because the drug was just a little less effective.

That was a real loss for my maternal grandparents!

So he didn't have so many concerns at that time.

His current physical and mental strength is enough to allow him to withstand the impact of these bestial and side effects.

Faced with this battle where winning would elevate him to great heights, while losing would plunge him into the abyss, he had to give it his all.

The final result after the injection was roughly as he expected.

Aside from unlocking the Nine Dragons Tyrant form, the only thing that surprised him was the chain reaction between the Moonlight Potion and the Rushing Potion.

"It seems we need to conduct more extreme tests regularly; who knows, we might make some unexpected discoveries!"

Although the battle was somewhat dangerous, it was still within Ivan's expectations and control.

Lost in thought, the carriage wheels creaked and groaned as they came to a stop in front of the police station.

The four people got off the car one after another. At this time, it was still snowing heavily, and passers-by wrapped their collars tighter.

The massive building is now covered in snow, but there is a flurry of activity at the main entrance.

Various police carriages roared back and forth, and the police officers, their faces full of exhaustion, hurried back and forth.

Some were with people, while others were carrying boxes.

Ivan's keen ears allowed him to clearly hear the people's complaints.

A middle-aged policeman muttered under his breath, "They're leisurely having a meeting in their office while we have to come out and carry things!"

His companion, who was helping him carry the load, chimed in with his complaints: "There's no subsidy, and they don't even reimburse us for meals we eat out."

"The Sap Group is so lucrative; they get all the credit and benefits, while we suffer all the hardships!"

"I don't really care about being a cop anymore!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a seasoned veteran leaned over and whispered, "I have some ways to make money. Interested?"

"The young lady from the Sap family wants to smuggle some 'daily necessities' out of the sealed-off manor."

After listening, the two middle-aged policemen rolled their eyes and said, "That's true! It's definitely inconvenient for a young lady like her to be suddenly confined to her home."

"Yeah, it's fine to bring some cosmetics and bedding."

The voices of the group gradually faded into the distance, but Evan didn't care.

Police officers were paid very little in this era.

Prices rise every year, but wages have not increased for nearly twenty years.

This has led to a situation where many police officers are not only shirking their duties but also abusing their power to earn extra money for personal gain.

Where the goods smuggled from the Sap Manor would ultimately end up became an open secret in the city.

P.S.: There should be quite a few monthly tickets available from the Sap family.
