Chapter 353: Chapter 310: Nationwide Shock (Part 1)

Some things are destined to be hidden.

The Morgan Clan, as a top elite family in the Ugly Country, controls many industries.

The members of their family also work in various companies, simply put, they “oversee.”

After all, we’re in the era of equity companies now. If the Morgan Clan, as shareholders of many companies, doesn’t have their own people “oversee” the movements of funds and the internal situation, there’s a high chance they could be kicked out overnight.

Naturally, the members of the Morgan Clan go to the company “to work” diligently every day for the family’s benefit.

Here’s the thing, when morning came, people immediately noticed something unusual.

Some members of the Morgan Clan didn’t come to work at the company!

Robert, a staff member at Morgan Stanley, usually despises his department supervisor, Carl Morgan.

Today, after arriving at the company, he didn’t see that annoying guy.

This made him feel very surprised and he discussed it in the online industry group.

Robert: “Hey, folks, did you know? Today, that guy I hate didn’t come to work, which is unusual since he’s always here on time except for holidays, rain or shine. It’s really strange today.”

Another netizen quickly responded, “I remember the guy you hate is Carl Morgan, right?”

Robert: “Yes, it’s him.”

The netizen was astonished: “Carl Morgan didn’t go to work? Tracy Morgan from our company didn’t come either.”

Initially, they thought it was just a coincidence.

Who knew that another female avatar from a financial company also jumped out, saying, “It seems Diana Morgan from our company didn’t come either.”

“And Kenny Morgan from our company…”

“Same here…”

Seven or eight group members jumped in, all expressing similar sentiments.

Many group members were shocked by this news, thinking perhaps there was a family celebration that called all of them back.

But just when everyone was puzzled, a shocking revelation appeared online.

It was posted by a well-known whistleblower.

The title of the post was: “Shocking! The Ancestors swept across fifty states, the Morgan Clan has been wiped out in one fell swoop!”

The content roughly said that the Ancestors might have a feud with the Morgan Clan, or it could be a response to some provocative news from the Ugly Country yesterday. Anyway, overnight across fifty states, the Morgan Clan was exterminated.

Many netizens were skeptical when they saw this revelation.

“Could it be fake?”

“How could such a powerful family like the Morgan Clan be wiped out just like that?”

“Exactly, yesterday those military experts and equipment specialists said the Ancestors were nothing to fear, as they had tracked their every move. How could it be that they annihilated the entire Morgan Clan overnight?”

“Yeah, it’s definitely fake.”

A group of netizens didn’t believe it at all, sarcastically mocking the well-known whistleblower, suggesting they were fabricating for traffic.

The whistleblower was enraged and argued back with the netizens.

“Damn you and your traffic!”

“It’s true, alright?”

“The gardener of the Morgan Clan went to work today and didn’t see a single member.”

“I even spent a fortune acquiring some videos and photos, just you wait!”

Suddenly, photos and videos of some Morgan Clan members fleeing in panic were exposed. The photos and videos even confirmed where the vehicles used by Morgan Clan members to escape were last seen, but the members had all disappeared.

Finally, the whistleblower revealed a piece of information, saying he vaguely heard from people close to some big shots that the Morgan Clan had a deep rivalry with the Ancestors, and this issue could be traced back to when the Ancestors eradicated the Jalisco Group.

Because of the exposure of photos and videos, coupled with the whistleblower’s detailed account, an incident that few believed and thought to be a rumor was suddenly propelled to the peak!

“What?”

“Ah!”

“Is it true or not?”

“Oh my God! Are the Ancestors really so terrifying that they swept across fifty states overnight and wiped out the entire Morgan Clan?”

More and more people started to pay attention, but many remained deeply skeptical, unable to believe the matter, so much so that some even went to various official websites to inquire about the specifics.

Those official websites initially refrained from commenting, but eventually, unable to withstand the pressure from netizens, they had no choice but to admit it, and everyone at that moment realized…

The Ancestors really did sweep across fifty states overnight!

The members of the Morgan Clan had nearly all disappeared!

Once this news was confirmed, it immediately caused a massive sensation online.

“What the Fack?”

“This Fack is actually true?”

“Those military experts and military equipment experts, didn’t they just say yesterday that they had tracked all the movements of the Ancestral Being? How did he sweep through the fifty states overnight without any of you noticing? Fack, a bunch of useless experts!”

“Hiss, the Ancestral Being is truly terrifying. Sweeping through all of Ugly Country in a single night, do you know what this means? It means, even if he was just on the move, his flying speed could be several Machs! Is this really the ’Ancestral Being is not very powerful’ analysis from those military experts? If this isn’t considered powerful, please tell me, what exactly is true power?”

“Frightening, truly frightening!”

“The Morgan Clan, such an impressive family, also had grudges with the Ancestral Being and knew he came to New York. They must have prepared their most elite security team, yet no news came out, the entire Morgan Clan vanished without a trace because of the Ancestral Being. I just want to say, the Ancestral Being’s dreadfulness far exceeds our imagination!”

“I beg you, military experts, stop talking nonsense. If you keep spouting nonsense, today the Ancestral Being can sweep through all fifty states and annihilate the Morgan Clan. Tomorrow he may truly make all our fifty states disappear!”

“These experts really aren’t reliable!”

“Exactly, spouting nonsense all day just to lie and collect their paychecks.”

Netizens were simultaneously amazed by the Ancestral Being’s overnight sweep of the fifty states and fiercely berated those military experts and military equipment experts who had made statements the day before.

If it were just this, perhaps those military experts and military equipment experts would clench their teeth, admit defeat, pretend they hadn’t seen anything, and let the matter pass.

But now, the Ancestral Being’s overnight sweep of the fifty states is too terrifying, causing countless citizens to feel anxious and uneasy, thinking that today the Ancestral Being could silently wipe out the Morgan Clan; tomorrow, he could kill all of them, the ordinary people, too.

Yes, this is pure paranoia.

Even if it’s paranoia, what the Ancestral Being did last night indeed caused a massive shock across all of Ugly Country, instilling fear among countless citizens.

Those military experts and military equipment experts had no choice but to step out again, wanting to say something to calm the citizens’ panic.

To be honest, they don’t know what to say either. The Ancestral Being and the mecha combat group cannot be detected by satellites or radar, seemingly possessing faster flying speeds, in addition to their previously displayed formidable combat power. It seems they truly have nothing to say.

As the saying goes, brainstorming works wonders. Those military experts and military equipment experts gathered to discuss and really came up with a statement.

So, the top military expert, Carlisle, who previously talked nonsense, was once again pushed to the front.

He braced himself and made a speech like this: “Regarding the Ancestral Being’s ’stealth’ ability, it’s indeed something we hadn’t understood before. Indeed, his ’stealth’ ability is not inferior to those mech combat groups. However, as I mentioned before, we have already understood the Ancestral Being’s mech combat group’s ’stealth’ and will soon develop anti-stealth equipment. By then, neither the Ancestral Being nor the mech combat group will pose any threat to us the Eagles. Actually, everyone doesn’t need to worry too much. Although the Ancestral Being has strong ’stealth’ capabilities and formidable personal strength, he is, after all, flesh and blood, and cannot unleash destructive power like the mech combat groups. So everyone can relax; nothing big will happen.”

Yes, Carlisle really couldn’t think of anything else to say, so he could only speak from the Ancestral Being’s “burst” aspect.

He believes that the Ancestral Being is just strong in single combat but doesn’t actually have strong “explosive power.”

At least he doesn’t have the power to instantly destroy a city.

If one person says it, netizens surely won’t believe it.

Therefore, yesterday’s experts came out one by one to back him up.

Carlisle’s partner declared firmly: “Yes, although the Ancestral Being is strong in single combat, as Carlisle said, he does not possess super strong explosive abilities, so everyone shouldn’t panic.”

The leader of the conglomerate, who spoke yesterday, spoke again, “What we need now is time, time to develop anti-stealth equipment. As long as we can break the stealth of the Ancestral Being and the mech combat group, then the Ancestral Being is not scary at all!”

Another conglomerate’s “Crown Prince” publicly stated: “So far, he only dares to hide in the dark doing some despicable things and doesn’t dare to show his face because he knows his strength is just that strong, unable to cause earth-shattering destruction, so he doesn’t dare to appear in public. Everyone, don’t panic; nothing big will happen.”

Three!

Five!

Many experts and conglomerate representatives stepped forward, trying to stabilize the citizens.

Even though the citizens had already been deceived by these people once, this time, seeing that they were speaking in an organized and convincing manner, they began to have doubts again.

Indeed.

Up till now, the Ancestral Being has not unleashed any earth-shattering power.

Presumably, he won’t cause too much destruction at once; people needn’t worry too much about what he’s doing.

…

At this time, Lu Li, who was waiting at an abandoned factory in New York for the ship Zhou Jinming sent over, received this news immediately.

He was infuriated and laughed by these people, and his gaze became even colder.

He had previously conducted a mecha combat group exercise to shock countries worldwide and deter anyone from having ideas against him.

It’s fine if you so-called experts and conglomerate moguls want to stabilize public sentiment.

But speaking of me being incapable time and again, isn’t it undermining my authority?

Doesn’t it imply that others might think I’m truly afraid of you?

If such rhetoric brews over time, it will absolutely diminish the deterrence of my mecha combat group exercise, enticing more nefarious individuals.

Upon this thought, Lu Li decided to do something drastic to completely shock the two to three hundred million people of Ugly Country.

In other words, he prepared to demonstrate his substantial destructive capabilities to suppress all those negative remarks and maintain his deterrent power!

At this thought, Lu Li abruptly expanded his domain to its maximum.

Soon after, he set his sights on the distant sea surface.

Countless subatomic particles of “volcanic ash rock” gathered together, reaching a total of over a dozen kilograms!

The next moment, Lu Li withdrew his domain, allowing those subatomic particles of “volcanic ash rock” to annihilate.

Moments later, a thunderous explosion echoed from the sea surface.

And then, all of Ugly Country fell silent!
