Sentinel

Chapter 85
A black Bentley was parked at the entrance of the Watsonton Building. Marcus Watsonton and the accompanying bodyguards got out of the car. The helm of the chaebol group rushed over, even if they were blocked by a few strong security guards, they couldn't stop them from asking questions like a cannonball.

"Mr. Watson, there are rumors on the Internet that your laboratory uses mutants to conduct illegal human experiments. Is this true?"

"Supposedly there was an improper dealing between Watsonton & Co. and Senator Robert Kelly?"

"Did Senator Kelly accept Watsonton's experiment and become a mutant due to side effect gene mutation?"

"..."

A piece of news exploded in Marcus' ears like thunder. He tried his best to keep calm and said nothing. Surrounded by security guards, he squeezed away the swarming journalists and entered the interior of Watsonton Building.

Arriving at the office by elevator, Marcus, who had accumulated a stomach full of anger, summoned his senior employees and asked, "Who can tell me what happened?!"

Hamilton, who was in charge of the market, turned on his computer tremblingly. All the news media and portals were filled with all kinds of news about Watsonton. Pictures are spreading on the Internet at a fast speed.

"Two 10 minutes ago, someone anonymously distributed these materials on the Internet..."

Marcus felt his head was dizzy. He tried his best to maintain a cold face, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down the anxiety in his heart. With years of experience in shopping malls, he could tell at a glance that someone was manipulating and deliberately guiding Following the direction of public opinion.

For example, the Daily Horn, which criticizes Watsonton most fiercely, this little-known gossip tabloid, did not know where to find detailed and credible photos and materials, and published them on the headline page, and the content of the newspaper clearly hinted that Watson The Dunton Company and Senator Kelly, whose true identity was revealed to be a mutant, had an ulterior and sinful deal. One was a despicable politician who sold out fellow mutants for the sake of fame, and the other was inhumane, relying on blood and violence to gain wealth. unscrupulous capitalists.

In the report written by Jonah James, the boss of the Daily Horn, there were even intentional or unintentional hints that Osborne and Umbrella were criticized by Senator Kelly not long ago. The secret instruction of the chaebol group that prevents the development of new forces. As for who the other party is, the old and cunning newspaper boss will naturally not name them, but just leave room for readers to make up their own minds.

This gossip tabloid, which always likes to report some lace news, stood up faster than those official media, as if a righteous man who defied power, took the lead in making his voice heard.

Immediately afterwards, other media also rushed to report, for fear of being half a step behind the industry's peers. Watsonton was pushed to the forefront for a while, and the huge pressure of public opinion forced the government to intervene. In just 10 minutes, this industry occupied The giant companies at the top position seem to be reduced to become street rats that everyone shouts and beats.

Marcus, who saw the current situation clearly, thought of those eyeing competitors and the news that was extremely unfavorable to the company. This is not something that can be settled only by relying on crisis public relations or money power. Once this scandal continues to ferment, triggering social The discussion and criticism, then Watsonton may fall into the dust.

When a tiger is majestic, all the beasts in the forest will bow their knees and show their loyalty, but once it shows the slightest sign of aging, other wild beasts will immediately jump out and open their sharp fangs and claws.

"Who is manipulating all this behind the scenes?"

Marcus was puzzled, could it be that Osborn Jr. and that so-called New York genius, these fledgling young people, really had such fierce methods?

The old man was a little unsteady, with his hands on the table. He would rather believe that this was the work of a certain capital giant who was eyeing Watsonton. He took the lead in detonating the offensive of public opinion and seized the moral high ground. , to deal a fatal blow to Watsonton, a series of means, almost making the opponent powerless to fight back.

To drive away the chill in his heart, Marcus discussed the countermeasures with the senior management present, and actively asked the public relations department to issue a notice, and he also contacted some political figures who had a good personal relationship with Watsonton to deal with this sudden crisis .

…………

Harry happily walked into Umbrella, and the original depression was swept away, like a general returning in triumph, he rushed directly to Sean's office.

"Can you knock on the door first next time?" Sean was busy signing a bunch of documents without looking up, "Maybe I'm flirting with the secretary in the office, and it would be embarrassing for you to barge in like this."

Harry waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "I remember you don't have a secretary at all, don't you think about getting yourself one? As you, you really need a secretary to help you with trivial matters, and a bodyguard in charge of security."

"Perhaps I can introduce you. I'm sure I have a good figure and good looks! I know a ballet dancer..." As he spoke, Master Osborne's topic went aside again.

"I guess you came here in a hurry to talk about women." Sean looked up helplessly, ending the previous topic.

It was only then that Harry suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, and he couldn't hide the joyful smile on his face. He almost couldn't help jumping up, expressing his inner excitement.

"Watsonton is going to be unlucky." He laughed, thinking of his high spirits at the board meeting this morning, "It was revealed that human experiments were conducted illegally, and major media followed up the revelations. It is said that government departments have already intervened. The stock price collapsed faster than Stark Industries."

"God is just. He punishes the wicked and treats the righteous kindly." Sean said lightly, and he was not surprised by this result.

However, it is too simple to want to bring down a chaebol group. As a monopoly giant in the medical industry, Watsonton may suffer heavy losses, but it is impossible to go bankrupt. The interest forces behind them , will not sit back and watch this behemoth fall down easily.

"You seem to have known it a long time ago." Harry's eyes were strange, and his best friend always seemed to know everything in advance and be prepared.

"Have you forgotten? I have eyes that see through the future."

Harry curled his lips, he didn't believe this kind of rhetoric: "Then I would rather believe that you have learned some mysterious magic of divination from the gypsies."

"What should I do next? Do you want to take advantage of the victory to pursue and give Watson a little bit of trouble?" The vengeful Master Osborne did not forget that Watson was severely suppressed before.

"Don't do anything, someone will surely uphold justice for us." Sean glanced at the newspaper on the table, presumably the boss of the Bugle Daily should have received his kindness in return.

"After all, this is a lighthouse country of freedom and democracy." The corner of the young man's mouth curled into a smile, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
