The Zhuo family's advanced residential area is continuously cleaned, spotless inside, ready for immediate use upon entry.

After everyone was seated, Yang Chen bitterly recounted the course of events.

After hearing this, Elder Zhuo and the director's expressions changed slightly.

The director glanced at Master Ye and asked, "Old Ye, why does this sound so much like the human body agents from Old Mi's side? Are we planning to research these things too?"

Master Ye nodded slightly, "Not exactly, and we aren't planning on it either, but these parasites certainly give everyone hope in this area."

Yang Chen looked at the director in confusion and asked, "Do they have such things in the Northern Federation?"

The director nodded slightly, "A long time ago, during the counter-war, there were such people in Miwei, immensely strong, very fast, could resist bullets... of course, they could also die, just like those who took stimulants. Later, after our investigation, we found out that it was the human body agents, things that unleash the potential of the human body."

Yang Chen was pensive.

Elder Zhuo also slowly spoke, "In that case, the value of this thing is indeed very high. Because their inherent value is extremely high, coupled with the effects it produces, its value is indeed tempting."

Master Ye nodded slightly, "The value within is infinite, as long as we master the technology, the rights and wealth obtained from it in the future will be boundless. What's more likely is, it might solidify Jin Chen's current rights division, and even... might affect the entire configuration of Flame Country!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuo and the director fell silent, their brows furrowed.

They understood the seriousness within.

It is worth mentioning that these elder people's awareness is relatively high, their thoughts sometimes really unselfish.

What they need to do is to disperse the value of these things, rather than letting one side occupy more.

If so, the future results would be very unfavorable.

After the group discussed, Master Ye proposed taking them to the laboratory to have a look.

Yang Chen had already contacted Yang Cao, and immediately took the three elders over.

When they arrived at Lab Number Three, the big leader was also standing there, obviously he had received the message.

"Old Ji!" Elder Zhuo got out of the car, looked at the big leader, and laughed, "You are still so shrewd!"

"Otherwise, how could I have called you here!" The big leader laughed heartily, shaking hands with Elder Zhuo.

A few people, all longtime friends, were familiar upon meeting, like family, entered the lab together.

Putting on dust-free clothing, after disinfection, everyone entered the lab's interior.

The place is completely sealed, with a separate air circulation system, also a drainage system, ensuring an internal dust-free and sterile environment.

Even the corridors are like this, and upon entering the lab core, conditions are more stringent.

In the lab, Elder Zhuo and the director saw the magical parasitic creatures.

The extent of parasitism and mutation is astonishing and frightening.

The more elderly they are, the more they can feel this controlled fear.

A decaying body, being hollowed out by worms is one thing; yet being controlled by such entities is worse than death.

Master Ye's complexion was grim.

Because once, Master Ye was also controlled by parasitic worms, he knows what it feels like.

Master Ye has a deep fear of these things.

After demonstrating the parasite's powerful regenerative ability and physical enhancements, the elders saw the true value it holds.

"No wonder then!" Elder Zhuo chuckled, "This stuff will surely drive people to fight fiercely over it!"

Everyone followed with a smile.

It truly is the case.

The immense value contained in this thing is indeed enough to stir anyone's heart.

After the inspection, they returned to the artificial sea.

The group sat at the conference table, ready to negotiate.

Master Ye initiated, "Just now Elder Zhuo mentioned, if this thing is really made public, it will surely lead to fierce struggles, then it becomes a calamity, instead of bringing us the desired development. Therefore, before such things happen, we should distribute them well, preventing any trouble beforehand!"

Elder Zhuo also nodded, "Indeed, this thing is like a sharp double-edged sword, regardless of how well it's used, there will be harm, what we must do now is to minimize this harm."

The big leader forced a bitter smile, "I understand what you mean, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here. The huge benefits contained within are for sure, but for the peace of Flame Country, I did what I should, but for the subsequent interests, I absolutely will not back down at all, because I have to do my job when sitting in this position!"

"We understand!" Elder Zhuo and Master Ye nodded.

Next was the intense negotiation.

Yang Chen did not participate, his forty percent stake is absolutely non-negotiable.

For the remaining sixty percent, a real, fierce battle was required.

In the end, the three parties paid a hefty price to determine the distribution of equity.

Representing Flame Country held a twenty-five percent stake.

The Ye family held sixteen percent equity.

The Zhuo family only held ten percent.

After all, the Zhuo family was a later addition, initially had no involvement, but due to Yang Chen's influence Elder Zhuo was brought in. Certainly, it is also because Elder Zhuo is reliable and trustworthy, possessing such capability.

Therefore, Elder Zhuo only acquired a ten percent stake.

The remaining nine percent equity, the big leader held 4.5%, the old head held 4.5%.

For that nine percent equity, the big leader and the old head paid a heavy price, nearly shedding a layer of skin, even hurting their bones.

Because the twenty-five percent stake was negotiated for Flame Country, the big leader and old head's families had no share, hence they had to pay a price to secure something substantial for their families.

Elder Zhuo and Master Ye understood the big leader's efforts.

After the negotiations, they dispersed, the big leader had to present the results to the old head.

Yang Chen followed Elder Zhuo back to the advanced residential area.

Elder Zhuo planned to stay in Jin Chen for two days, arrange the equity matters properly before returning.

However, Yang Chen couldn't wait, the Xiang family had already isolated their mountain, Zhang Shaoting and Zhang Qicheng were both injured, he must hurry back.

Before leaving, Yang Chen sat in the car, undecided.

Sun Yue looked at Yang Chen in puzzlement, perplexed.

She didn't know what Yang Chen was thinking, sitting in the car for half an hour, yet hadn't left, wasn't he in a hurry?

After a while, Yang Chen seemed to have made up his mind, pushed open the door, got out of the car.

"Director!" Yang Chen found the director, "I wonder if you can accompany me to Ancheng for a few days."

"Ancheng?" The director frowned and asked Elder Zhuo, "That place is quite chaotic, right?"

"Yes!" Elder Zhuo also looked at Yang Chen with puzzlement.

Yang Chen said, "I've been in Ancheng for more than a year now, it's definitely safe, thought of inviting you over to have a look, and take a walk."

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhuo immediately felt a pang of jealousy, glaring at the director, "Go, go! The child means well!"
