At this moment, a well-known host on Hua Xia TV suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Recently, the Oriental Flower series by Dongmei Group has become a craze in Hua Xia. After using it, skin can become like a baby's. Is this Oriental Flower really that miraculous?"

...

Watching the big screen, Tian Zhong's face immediately darkened.

"After our inspection, the new Oriental Flower product contains a catalytic drug that does indeed leave the skin looking shiny, as if it were a baby's, but with long-term use, it can cause skin tissues and cells to age instantaneously..."

Upon seeing this news, everyone's complexion changed.

This was the most authoritative TV station in Hua Xia, and the conclusion came from the Hua Xia Academy of Science, an absolute authority. This news was undoubtedly a bombshell, powerful enough to annihilate the Dongmei Group.

Just then, Tian Zhong's phone suddenly rang: "You bastard, is this the formula you stole? Prepare to disembowel yourself!"

From the other end of the phone came the furious voice of Kimura Takuya, the president of Dongmei Group.

Without a second thought, after the news and its chain reaction, the Oriental Flower product line had been selling like hotcakes in Hua Xia for more than two months, with millions of customers. This enormous compensation alone was enough to deal a severe blow to Dongmei Group.

Most crucially, the Oriental brand crumbled in an instant. Building a brand could take decades, but destroying it could happen in a moment.

"Damn it, damn it, you deliberately let us steal the problematic formula, then framed us, didn't you?" Tian Zhong said furiously.

Lin Chen chuckled coldly, "Who would give away the fruits of their own hard work? It was you who stole it, but what you stole was nothing more than a defective product."

The hall erupted into an uproar; just a moment ago, Tian Zhong had accused Xingchen Company of stealing their formula, but in the blink of an eye, he actually admitted to stealing Xingchen Company's formula himself.

Just then, Tian Zhong's phone rang again: "Mr. Tian Zhong, bad news! The health bureau and the bureau of industry and commerce have joined forces and sealed all our company's products!"

"Mr. Tian Zhong, our headquarter's entrance is blocked by customers, they demand an explanation from us!"

"Mr. Tian Zhong, Hua Xia's renowned attorney Cheng Wei has already submitted a legal letter to the court, planning to represent the vast number of consumers in suing us!"

Phone calls kept coming in, each one like a death knell.

Enraged, Tian Zhong threw his phone on the ground, smashing it to pieces, and glared at Lin Chen venomously: "You bastard! It's all your fault."

At this moment, the CEO of Meiya Group, Sun Ming, with a grim expression, snorted coldly, "Mr. Tian Zhong, considering your actions, our Meiya Group has decided to cancel the acquisition contract we signed before."

"What did you say?" Tian Zhong's expression turned cold as he stared intently at Sun Ming.

"I said we're cancelling the contract we signed yesterday, and from now on, we'll have no further dealings," Sun Ming articulated each word clearly.

"Humph! Do you think a contract is something you can sign or cancel as you please?" A chilling look crossed Tian Zhong's face.

"Now you are like a dog that has lost its home, yet you dare to snarl like a tailless dog! I just cancelled it, what can you do about it?" Sun Ming said with a cold laugh.

"I hate betrayal the most, so since that's how it is, you can go to hell!" Tian Zhong suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"You still dare to kill..." Before Sun Ming could finish his sentence, a shadow suddenly lunged out, and Sun Ming's head was violently severed.

"Thud!" Sun Ming's body fell, his head rolling on the ground, blood splattering everywhere, the scent of blood permeating the entire hall.

The hall went deathly silent; everyone stared dumbfounded at the grotesque severed head.

"Is there anyone else who wants out?" Tian Zhong asked wildly with a cold laugh, his gaze sweeping the crowd.

At that moment, the entire venue was shrouded with a terrifying atmosphere, making everyone's back chill; Tian Zhong appeared as a demon from hell, ferocious and horrifying.

"Tian Zhong, I can't believe you're still struggling on the brink of death!" Suddenly, an icy voice rang out.

"Lin Chen!"

Seeing the person who slowly walked out from the crowd, Tian Zhong's eyes were filled with endless madness and venom.

It was him who had destroyed the intelligence network he had spent over a decade building in China, and it was him who had caused his reputation to be ruined today, rendering all his hard work futile.

At this moment, Tian Zhong wished nothing more than to flay Lin Chen alive and tear out his sinews to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Bei Wu, kill him. It's this bastard who keeps thwarting our plans. The master has ordered this man must die," Tian Zhong cursed venomously.

Then, the figure wiped the blood off the knife in his hand with a white cloth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Lin Chen.

"Boy, you dare to oppose the master. You deserve to die!" Bei Wu looked at Lin Chen with disdain, his eyes exerting a slight pressure.

Shaken by this pressure, everyone in the hall trembled, their legs shaking uncontrollably.

However, Lin Chen did not care in the slightest and scoffed, "Your master? Is it the Ninth Prince whom I sent running? What is he compared to me, worthy of being my enemy?"

"What did you say? You dare to insult the master," Bei Wu's eyes chilled.

The Ninth Prince was a renowned figure in the Eastern Ocean. This young man dared to be so bold, insulting the master was a slap in the face of the organization and to him personally.

The crowd, which had just been shaking with fear due to Bei Wu, was now shocked.

"Good job, Lin Chen!"

"The Island Nation dares to be arrogant on our turf, way too arrogant."

The crowd looked at Lin Chen, no longer with disdain or mockery in their eyes, but filled with admiration and awe.

Bei Wu's face had turned ice cold to the extreme, and he even burst out a few words in Japanese, "Ba Ga, I'm going to kill you!"

Tian Zhong, excited by the enraged Bei Wu, hysterically shouted, "Bei Wu, kill him quickly, slay this bastard."

"Haha, you are not worthy to kill me. You dare to murder and act wildly in my China; today this will be your graveyard!" Lin Chen replied coldly.

"If you're seeking death, then I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, Bei Wu's hand flashed with a katana shimmering with cold light. His body moved like lightning towards Lin Chen, executing a cutting technique as swift as the autumn breeze scattering leaves.

"Whoosh!"

The crowd saw only a blur as Bei Wu appeared in front of Lin Chen.

Tian Zhong, looking at the shadow rushing towards Lin Chen, wore a ferocious smile on his face.

"Boy, even if you are strong, today you will die by the hand of Lord Bei Wu."

"A Golden Core late-stage expert!"

Assassin's gaze sharpened upon seeing that shadow, and his face instantly turned pale.

In the world of assassins, a Golden Core late-stage expert was considered a high-level assassin. Assassin knew that there were hardly five people who could reach this level. In front of a Golden Core late-stage expert, these Foundation Establishment fighters were like ants, utterly powerless to resist.

"Lin Chen, you're going to die today. I will not only tear you to pieces but also take your woman as my slave to violate as I please!" Tian Zhong's face revealed a sinister smile.

However, as two figures passed by each other, the smile on Tian Zhong's face froze instantly, his eyes wide open in shock.
