Let them offer their loyalty

By the time he realized what was happening, he had already incurred a huge gambling debt...a debt that he would never be able to pay off even if he worked his entire life.

Bart Black was afraid to tell his family for fear that his wife and children would be implicated.

He didn't dare ask his friends for help because the debt he owed was so huge that even borrowing could not fill the hole.

So, when Mist came to Bart Black with his conditions, this "honest" bioengineer could not refuse the other party's conditions, and directly copied all the relevant data needed by the other party to the former person in charge.

Bart Blake actually knew very well what his behavior meant.

But he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, Mist Weting was once the project leader, and giving information to him was not considered a leak of core intelligence.

And Jonas Wettin is also a member of the Wettin Group, so the conflict between them won't be too big...

At least that's what he thought until Jonas found him at the Earris Research Area and put a gun to his head.

But when the gun was pointed at his head, he realized... he seemed to be extremely wrong.

PS: There will be three more chapters updated during the day.

I was locked out. I will update later as promised.

Damn it, I went out for a while and forgot to bring my keys, so I got locked out. I'll post the update later as promised.

It won’t be later than four in the morning, and there should be three chapters.

Chapter 141 Any last words?

In the core research room of the Earlis Research Area.

The research team responsible for nanomedical machinery is celebrating this hard-earned victory...After all, the research process of nanomedical machinery is not easy, and it was even on the verge of failure several times.

Being able to pass the final test is undoubtedly good news worth celebrating for the project research members.

Alte has never been stingy with these research employees, and can even be said to be quite generous.

Because of this, Alte Company approved a large amount of funds for this group of employees to celebrate the completion of the project, and the bonuses for these heroes reached tens of thousands of credit points.

Bart Blake was holding a wine glass in his hand, feeling quite comfortable.

After the project was completed, he not only received payment from Mist to pay off his debts, but also received a considerable bonus from Alte Company. This was the ups and downs of life. A few days ago, Bart Black was still worried that he would be thrown into the sea because he could not pay off his debts, but now he is drinking expensive red wine and enjoying life...

This contrast even made Bart Blake forget the fear of the previous few days, and he was so itchy that he wanted to go to the casino to try his luck a few more times.

The junior researcher at the side seemed to notice something, looked at Bart Black with a little confusion and asked:

"Why doesn't Mr. Butt join them?"

What he was talking about were naturally the researchers who were drinking. The long-term research had caused them considerable pressure, and now that the project was over, they seemed a little unrestrained due to the release of pressure.

Bart Black waved his hand when he heard this, and then said:

"I'm not very interested in these things..."

The young researcher suddenly understood what he said, and then asked as if he had thought of something:

"Come to think of it, you rarely express your interests and hobbies. I still don't know what Mr. Bart likes."

Hearing this, Bart Black looked at the ignorant researcher beside him. He thought of the rules of the casino... Every time a new person was introduced to become a member of the casino, he would receive a considerable reward.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel like there were ants crawling in his heart. Finally, he couldn't hold back the desire in his heart and spoke:

"Why, do you want to know?"

"when..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the laboratory was kicked open, and everyone in the room was startled, including Bart Black.

When the smoke cleared, a researcher who was clearly drunk could not help but yelled:

"Who are you? Do you know that this is the Erris Research Center..."

The second half of the researcher's sentence was stuck in his throat. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun in the black-haired girl's hand and the man standing behind her, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they had obviously recognized the man's identity.

— Jonas Wettin.

Although it was unclear what the other party was here for, everyone present had a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

I've heard before that some consortiums would assassinate some core researchers after the project was completed to prevent confidential information from being leaked. I originally thought it was a rumor, but seeing the other party's lineup, these researchers who had never experienced such a thing couldn't help but remain silent.

Looking at the crowd that fell into silence, the man smiled and spoke;

"I'm sorry to interrupt your celebration. I really want to join you, but before that, I think I have some things to take care of."

As he said this, his gaze gradually moved to Bart Black's head. The latter's uneasy premonition came true, and fear made him tremble unconsciously.

As Jonas's gaze shifted, the muzzle of the gun in Miss Esni's hand gradually shifted and aimed at Bart Black's forehead.

Seeing this, the main researcher in charge of this project, who was also the director of the research project, stepped forward and said cautiously:

"Mr. Jonas, what happened? I think it's just a misunderstanding..."

"Yeah, it's all just a misunderstanding."

Hearing someone coming out to speak for him, Bart Black couldn't help but speak.

But this little trick obviously couldn't get away with it. Jonas simply took out a photo from his pocket. It showed a young woman and a cute child. Then, Jonas slowly said:

"Senil Manty, Harry Black, your wife and children, live in the Cycelia district, right?"

Hearing this, not only Bart Black, but also the researchers around him changed their expressions.

Bart Blake couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Although he was a bad man, he still valued his family very much.

Hearing the threat from Jonas, Bart Black had no choice but to speak:

"Are you threatening my family, Mr. Wetting?"

Not only Bart Blake, but even the researchers around him couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and the joy of the successful project research disappeared.

"You are indeed going too far. I think even if Mr. Bart Black made mistakes at work, it would not be so serious..."

The research director at the beginning couldn't bear to watch it anymore, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a sudden audio.

Judging from the sound, it seems to be processed audio of Bart Blake and a strange man.

Following a rustling sound, the audio began to play.

[“Have you copied all the data?”]

This is a processed voice of a man.

[“It has been sent to your mailbox. The credit points you promised...”]

This is Bart Black's voice.

[“Not a cent less, all credits have been transferred to your account... In addition, you may need to copy some data from the database of Elris’s laboratory later. Don’t worry, you will get all the credits.”]

[“Okay, okay. You can always find me if you need anything.”]

The audio ended here. Bart Black's face turned pale instantly, and the eyes of the researchers around him changed from fear to strangeness.

After hearing this audio, the research director who tried to smooth things over also looked extremely ugly.

At this moment, the gun in Esni's hand suddenly ended up in Jonas's hand.

With the muzzle of the gun firmly against Bart Black's head, Jonas spoke calmly:

"Any last words? I'll bring them to your family."

...............................................

PS: There are two more chapters.

Chapter 142 Become a hype idol! Mr. Jonas!

The moment the gun was pointed at his head, Bart Black admitted that he did regret it.

As for why Jonas wanted to conduct the trial of Bart Black here, on the one hand it was to make an example of him, and on the other hand it was to increase Jonas's impression in the minds of these researchers.

After all, a bad person is always easier to remember than a good person.

As for Bart Black, Jonas did not shoot him directly.

After all, this person is still of some use to him. If he wants to solve this matter completely, killing him directly would be too easy for him.

So, in the face of the other party's desperate expression, Jonas took out a video.

In the video, his young wife and young child were tied to a chair, their mouths sealed with black tape, their eyes showing fear and pleading.

"I won't force you to do anything... Of course, you can just pretend you didn't hear what I said next."

Although Jonas said this, everyone knew that if Bart really did what he said, the end would be very miserable.

After saying this, Jonas paused, then said:

"In view of the fact that Mr. Bart Black's actions have caused great losses to Alte Company, two solutions are now provided..."

"The first is to compensate Alte for the loss of a total of 2.3 million credit points."

"The second option is to do as I say and pass on the information I give you to the person who bribed you."

Although only two options were given, Bart Blake knew very well that if he didn't do as the other party said, he might get the third outcome.

——That means the whole family, young and old, were poured into cement and thrown into the sea.

So when Bart Blake heard Jonas's first sentence, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, but after hearing Jonas's second sentence, a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.

According to the other party, it was obvious that they wanted me to be the messenger of this false information.

Once he is discovered, his situation will become extremely dangerous.

But if you extend your head with a knife, it will also be a knife with you if you shrink your head.

It seems that the only option is to do as Jonas says... At least this way the chances of survival will be greater.

As for whether he would be liquidated after the incident was over...? By then, he might have already fled District 25 with his wife and children.

Thinking of this, Bart Black gritted his teeth and quickly said:

"I choose the second one. I choose the second one."

"Wise choice."

Jonas said this, put away the video recording in his hand, and said:

"When this is over, you will meet your wife and children."

"As for now..."

Jonas glanced at the researchers behind him, and everyone he saw was terrified:

"I don't think anyone will tell anyone about this, right?"

Seeing that everyone was silent and no one answered, Jonas nodded with satisfaction and then showed his usual kind smile.

"Okay, I'm sorry to interrupt your celebration, please continue."

Although they said this, after Jonas turned and left, these people lost interest in continuing.

It was as if something extra was added to everyone's hearts, suppressing their somewhat agitated emotions due to the success of the project.

..................................

Although he announced his next plan in front of many people, Jonas was not worried about any information leaks.

Firstly, Jonas had asked Miss Elise to hack into the communication accounts of these researchers long ago, keeping a close eye on any possible violations they might make.

Secondly, after seeing Jonas's methods, these researchers no longer dared to think of being traitors, and naturally no one would leak information at this time.

So, naturally, under Jonas's threat, Bart Black passed the false data to Mr. Mist.
