From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 436 It's time for the Grant family to have a new master.
"Hmph, what a clumsy attempt!"

Kevin sat back in his chair, a surge of anger rising in his head.

Do you really think I'm some clueless playboy? Coming to my door in this way.

I give you face!

It's true that Claire Reed and Maurice Parker are from the Department of Homeland Security, but it's impossible to say that they came to him on national security grounds.

The system in the United States is quite strange. Personnel in similar law enforcement agencies are called "agents," but the term "agent" is actually a translation from an American TV series. In English, it is "agent," which literally means agent.

In this country, everything can have a proxy, but it's hard to say whether that proxy is acting on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security or some other person or interest group.

In any case, these two are definitely not here for national security; they're here to protect the Umbrella Corporation.

This tactic is also very common. Many companies or organizations have their own secret agents within law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, or even the CIA.

These people are ostensibly civil servants, but in reality, they are doing dirty work for their real bosses.

What happened today is a typical example of using public office for private gain. First, they frame you for a crime, then they shoot the arrow first and draw the target later. The purpose is to obtain benefits, and in a reasonable and legal way, such as financing and loans, to help you expand your scale. The price is a large number of shares.

If Kevin were just a penniless nobody, or someone with no background who started from scratch, Umbrella Corporation would have already started fundraising to attract large investment institutions and investment banks to share the equity.

But Kevin was different. He had the backing of the Grant family, was not short of money, and was connected to a large media company. Therefore, when he started out, he did not need to raise funds at all and gained huge profits. Of course, some people were envious.

However, because of his background, even if people are envious, they cannot act rashly and can only wait quietly for the right opportunity. Now it seems that someone has become restless and seized an opportunity that is not exactly an opportunity.

Although Kevin killed Maxwell Lord, he did it so cleanly that no one could possibly find even the slightest clue. So this was just a test, and the purpose of the test was not only to protect Umbrella Corporation, but also to find out the source of his technology.

"Red Queen, investigate Claire and Morrie, find out who's behind them." He paused for a moment, then added, "Spread the dirt on these two, I want them ruined."

"Okay, BOSS!"

As an agent, everyone has a lot of dirt on them, and everyone knows that. Since you've come to test me, I'll retaliate forcefully, and without any limits. I won't be Grant if I don't drive you to your deaths.

Just as he was pondering this, the sound of high heels clicking suddenly came from outside the door. Without even looking, Kevin knew who it was.

Sure enough, the office door was flung open with great force, and Kate stormed in, yelling, "That bitch Clay's here?"

"left already."

"Damn it, she's after me. I should have taught her a lesson last time."

“You overestimate yourself. She’s after Umbrella and my skills,” Kevin said, glancing at her. “However, if you want to deal with her, a good opportunity will come soon.”

"What do you mean?"

"The Red Queen will tell you all the shady things she's done over the years. You can choose to expose her," Kevin said calmly. "This is your profession. You won't do it wrong, will you?"

Kate froze, her anger subsiding. After a long while, she looked at Kevin and said, "Are you sure she came for you?" "Umbrella Corporation, at our rate of development, shouldn't we have secured funding long ago?!"

"Ah—" The young lady from a prominent family finally understood and asked, "Which family? Morgan or Rockefeller?"

“It doesn’t matter which family it is,” Kevin said, shaking his head. “I’m going back to Chicago. You, keep an eye on Elizabeth in the Metropolitan and make sure she shuts her mouth and doesn’t say anything out of line.”

“You know, she can’t control me, and I can’t control her.”

“Then tell her I’ll bring her a divorce agreement.” Kevin’s face was grim, and the chill in his voice surprised Kate. “Kevin, you…”

"No one has ever dared to threaten me, no matter who they are, Morgan, Rockefeller, or any other group. If they dare to offer me their claws, I will chop them off."

“The Grant family is not ruled by Father alone.”

"What I want is not the Grant family, but the Chicago conglomerate."

“The Chicago Consortium?” Kate was stunned, staring straight at Kevin, almost unable to believe her ears.

The Chicago Consortium is not Grant Enterprises; in fact, Grant Enterprises is only one part of the Chicago Consortium.

Strictly speaking, the Chicago Group is not a financial group, but a corporate alliance formed in the early 20th century by several large wealthy families centered in Chicago, which then expanded to the Midwest of the United States. Grant was just one of its members.

This conglomerate was once extremely powerful, but with the changing times and rapid industrial development, it declined after entering the new century. However, even though it is not as powerful as it was at its peak, it still has a strong influence in the United States, whether in politics, the military, finance, or culture.

That's why Kate doesn't think Kevin can handle the conglomerate, and it's even uncertain whether he can handle the Grant family.

After all, although this kid has gained momentum now, he is still the famous playboy in Chicago, and has even been abandoned by the real head of the family.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to control the Chicago conglomerate. I just need their support. It's not difficult."

"You should deal with Philson first," Kate shook her head, not optimistic about Kevin's plan.

“Philson is getting old, and he needs a true successor,” Kevin said calmly. “I am his best choice.”

"hope so!"

Meanwhile, at the Kryptonian base, Astra and the others were watching a screen showing a strangely dressed woman wreaking havoc in the streets.

"Is this your niece?" Norn asked, looking at the Karaklon on the screen. "Or is it someone else?"

“She looks like her, but she’s not,” Astra said, shaking her head. “She’s more like a copy.”

“A replica?” Norn’s eyes narrowed. “It was created by that Rhodes. These humans are very hostile towards us!”

“That’s why a massive purge is necessary,” Astra said. “Let the plan begin!”
