Time: March 1, 1984, 10:22 am.

Location: Pegasus United, southwestern coast.

After the container ship that Ilumi and others were traveling on went to the port of Patiros for supplies, it immediately detoured along the coast of Pegroce to the southwest coast of Pegroce.

Finally, the ship stopped in a coastal area two hundred kilometers west of Siglan City and one hundred kilometers away from Umbrella Corporation's headquarters.

Pegrose is a vast and sparsely populated area, with 90% of the population gathered in one cluster, and half of the citizens living in the two cosmopolitan cities of Patyruse and Schuhel.

Yilumi is not worried at all that anyone will find a container ship parked on the southwest coast.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some indigenous tribes still exist in those deep mountains and forests.

The Pegrose continent is too big and the virgin forest is too dangerous.

No one knows how many indigenous tribes remain in those primeval forests.

On the quiet coastal beach, Ahmed waited silently on the beach with a group of soldiers who were raiding pirates.

"Boss, long time no see."

Ahmed took the initiative to come forward, then took a step behind Ilumi and stepped forward.

"What happened to the pirate forces in the Savusavu Republic that you wiped out?"

Ilumi asked casually.

Behind him were four guards in combat uniforms, as well as Caesar, Eric, and Dr. Kipsiler.

The four guards looked at the soldiers standing on the beach and could feel a pinprick of danger from them.

That is the oppression of ordinary people by people with telekinesis. If they are only at the level of ordinary people, they will naturally not be able to feel it. However, they are soldiers who have experienced brutal training, so they can naturally feel the sense of danger clearly.

But as soon as they thought that these were the subordinates of the new commander in front of them, they felt a lot more relaxed.

"It took us less than a month to wipe out the pirate forces in the Savusavu Republic."

Ahmed replied nonchalantly that the gap between telekinesis users and ordinary pirates was really too big.

Under the pressure of individual strength, team strength, and equipment, ordinary pirates could not survive for a second in front of these soldiers with telekinesis abilities.

They even used the camp of the largest local pirate force as a training camp and prepared for it for a week before deciding to return to the company.

"That's right, boss."

"I feel that our company's training base is no longer enough for us."

Ahmed said suddenly, and the two came to an armed and modified jeep.

Ilumi paused as he got into the car and thought for a moment.

"Indeed, one hundred and twenty soldiers plus six hundred guards."

"We need to find another place to build a training camp."

Yilumi lifted his legs and got on the jeep, looked down at Ahmed and said.

"Since it was you who suggested it, you should have a choice in mind, right?"

Ahmed stood in front of the jeep, with a cracked smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I think the place in the Kerencia Rainforest is good."

Ilumi nodded, closed the car door, and the soldier responsible for driving immediately started the engine and headed for Umbrella's headquarters.

The road from here to the company headquarters was uneven and bumpy due to no one moving around, and the time it took was more than double the normal speed.

Three hours later, Ilumi returned to the company and led Dr. Kipsil and the other three into the office on the top floor.

“Have new antibiotics begun production?”

The first thing Ilumi did after entering the office was to ask about new antibiotics.

"Everything is going according to plan and there will be no mistakes."

Kim Bradley stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked sideways at Ilumi, and said in a deep voice.

"That's good, now comes the critical moment."

"During this period, the production base must be closely guarded. Other companies or some black hands with ulterior motives may reach here."

"Pay special attention to Illumina Biotechnology Company. After all, we are taking food from their mouths."

"Also, as for the news media, you need to come forward."

Naturally, Ilumi himself did not intend to show up. Even if he could transform into other faces, in the end it would be more appropriate for Kim Bradley to show up.

"This is Dr. Kipsil Alagir, who will be the director of our company's weapons research institute from now on."

Ilumi pointed sideways at Kipsiler and introduced Kim Bradley, although they had already communicated on the phone.

At this time, Kipsiler, who had already changed his prison uniform into a smart suit, looked at the man named Kim Bradley. For some reason, a trace of inexplicable nervousness arose in his heart.

"Hello, Dr. Kipsiler, I am Kim Bradley, chairman of Umbrella Biotech."

Kim Bradley stretched out his right hand and took the initiative to shake hands with Kipsiler. Kipsiler looked at Ilumi, then looked at Kim Bradley, and asked uncertainly.

"Which one of you two is in charge?"

Kipsil was a little unsure. Before he came, he had always thought that Ilumi was the person in charge. His strength, means, and government were not ordinary people.

But now that he saw Kim Bradley, he subconsciously thought that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

But Ilumi's attitude towards Kim Bradley left him somewhat confused.

"Of course...boss."

Kim Bradley raised an eyebrow, and Kipsiler looked at Ilumi sitting on the sofa again and opened his mouth.

He did not expect that this middle-aged man who looked like the leader of a certain country and had a strong aura would actually call the young man in his twenties boss.

"Then, please take good care of me."

After the words fell, Kipsiler shook hands with Kim Bradley. He finally returned to the aloof genius state before entering prison, and his whole body was filled with strong self-confidence.

At this moment, he fits the image of a scientific research genius in everyone's imagination.

Rather than a little gangster who stays in jail all year round, causes troubles and gets into fights.

"Caesar, take Dr. Kipsiler down to rest."

Ilumi ordered, Caesar and Eric nodded. Kipsiler glanced at Ilumi again, and followed Caesar and the two of them out of the office.

"What voice does the Pegroce government have for us?"

After Dr. Kipsiler left, the topic returned to new antibiotics.

"The Pegrosse government said it would give us strong support."

Kim Bradley replied, and Ilumi chuckled lightly when he heard the words, closing his eyes and thinking.

The reaction of the Pegrosse government was as expected.

If it were not for the support of the government, the high cost and high failure rate of researching antibiotics would make it impossible for only a few large biopharmaceutical companies to bear the losses caused by researching new antibiotics.

The most disturbing thing is that a highly resistant superbug has recently appeared in the medical field. Although its infectivity is not very high, its fatality rate is extremely high.

Under the deadly threat of these new superbugs and multidrug-resistant strains of superbugs, the medical community around the world is feeling great pressure.

At this time, a company that was not well-known before, or even heard of, developed a new type of antibiotic before many large pharmaceutical companies.

This company claims to have developed a new type of antibiotic through stealth research for many years, which can effectively deal with the current superbugs that are increasingly resistant to antibiotics.

Because of the new antibiotics, many media around the world have become interested in Umbrella.

The media in Peggrose, in particular, began to investigate and report on this incident.

The next day, the logo of Umbrella Biotechnology and pictures of the new antibiotic Umbrella-a appeared in many media newspapers.

This news may not attract too much attention from many ordinary people, and people may even forget about it the next morning, but in the eyes of some people, it is particularly eye-catching.

Time: March 2, 1984, 10:10 am.

Location: Headquarters of Illumina Biotech, Inc., Gro City, United States of America.

In the headquarters building of Illumina Biotechnology Company, Hubert Hamilton, chairman and CEO of the company, stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the bustling city full of young vitality. His eyes were focused, silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

What.

Hubert Hamilton, who is sixty-four years old this year, will reach the normal retirement age in the United States of America in one year.

Illumina Biotechnology Company, as a leader in the world's only industry, has actually not been as easy as the outside world said in recent years.

On the contrary, Illumina's global drug sales are declining year on year, and all of this is due to drug-resistant superbugs.

Moreover, it can be clearly predicted that this decline will not stop in the coming days.

Even though he is the helmsman of Illumina, there are many things that he cannot stop. The most he can do is struggle against the tide of the times and try to save himself.
