Dream Travel

Chapter 553 Waiting for news

“…Then I hope they won’t do that.” Evelya sighed; she didn’t think the White Curtain could handle the Miller family.

But what if Bai Mu manages to expose the entire Miller family after what she feared actually happens?

Aren't you going to try to persuade me?

Evereya shook her head: "I can't even take care of myself right now, how can I advise you?"

Bai Mu did not linger with Evefeya for long. When he left, Evefeya handed him the research data on Blackwater and the technology of the adaptive virus.

How to handle the matter afterward is Bai Mu's own business. After all, Bai Mu is her supporter in this research, and the two have a cooperation agreement.

Although the technology was stolen, it hasn't disappeared. Giving a copy to White Screen wouldn't be a problem.

As for the Miller family causing trouble, she had already warned Bai Mu.

"You still plan to send Claire over under these circumstances?"

“That’s why I’m a little worried. What if something happens to you later?” Denise said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about Evereya’s situation.

Seeing her reaction, Bai Mu thought for a moment and asked, "You're not really planning to fight your way out, are you?"

Denise shook her head, not bothering to hide anything from Everea.

“I helped her investigate some things. It seems her family wants to send her out of Rota City through a marriage alliance, and I’ve also been attacked recently.”

"It seems her family was well aware of the negative effects of that virus."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll use my connections. If she's not lying to me, then you should protect her."

“She’s my employer now,” Denise said before leaving.

The next day, Bai Mu went directly to Bo Lei's place. Looking at the things Bai Mu brought, Bo Lei rubbed his head and said, "How come you... Oh, never mind."

He was about to say that Bai Mu had suddenly stirred up another big incident, but then he thought that it really wasn't Bai Mu who had done it.

Bai Mu hadn't expected this situation before, and as for the Blackwater, Bo Lei didn't even know about it before.

Meilin City is a border city, far from the inland cities of Rota City. Information from there won't travel that fast unless you deliberately try to find out.

Before Bai Mu came looking for him, all Borei knew was that Colin City had experienced a crisis some time ago.

However, the matter was eventually resolved, and he was able to learn about it only after Bai Mu contacted him.

But Borre never expected that something else would happen.

"If you want to conduct any research next time, you can have the processing bureau handle it..."

"Don't the scientists at the Processing Bureau have any family support?" Bai Mu asked curiously.

Borre paused slightly: "At least after something like this happens, the bureau can prepare contingency plans in advance."

In our current era, knowledge is still very important, and high-level scholars are almost always involved in some kind of political or social network.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to get ahead and learn advanced knowledge. Not only do they lack the economic means, but even if they solve their economic problems, they still have no way to access such advanced knowledge.

Unless one is lucky enough to study in a dream world, which is a rare occurrence, the emergence of masters in the private sector is based on an environment with sufficiently developed information exchange.

Given the limited development of the internet in reality, how could so many ordinary people become experts?
Even if they do appear, as long as they demonstrate the corresponding talent, they will be absorbed by those companies or families.

Just like with Evefeya's case, the Miller family could unilaterally influence Evefeya and reduce her connection with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

As for cooperation with the processing bureau? It's just scientists, they can assign another scientist here.

As for Evefeya, the Miller family said they had other plans for her, so how could the Bureau of Justice possibly snatch her away?
This is not realistic.

However, given that the Miller family wanted to cause trouble, the Bureau of Handling the Matters could not simply dismiss it as nothing had happened.

"It's just that it's a bit late, the technology used to create it has been leaked, and there's not much the Bureau can do before this happens."

Borre frowned, preparing to go and discuss the matter with Oscar.

But then, as if remembering something, Borre looked at the white screen: "If the Miller family uses the 'Blackwater' issue to threaten you later, how do you plan to deal with it? Should you take action against the Bureau Gang—"

“I killed them all.”

"...Wouldn't that tell others you're trying to silence them?"

"I don't care about reputation." Bai Mu scoffed. Only someone with a sense of shame would care about that. It's not like he has nowhere else to go but to survive.

At worst, we can just go to the two small countries controlled by Serafis. Although they are small in area and their capitals are the country itself, they are quite well-developed because of the concentration of national resources.

You could live even better there than in Rota.

"...You still care about this, don't you?" Bo Lei was a little speechless. What does it mean to be invincible? Bai Mu's attitude already met the criteria for being invincible.

He couldn't be bothered with any scheming or maneuvering with those families. They were inhuman; when things went wrong, they tried to shift the blame onto others to distance themselves from the problem.

Bai Mu dared to let those people rest in peace, and as for Bai Mu's current threat, Bo Lei could imagine the Miller family's reaction after they found out.

It's just that a few people in the family might care and try to find another way to deal with Bai Mu, while most people simply don't care.

After all, the Blackwater was indeed provided to Evefeya by White Curtain. As for whether this was a private commission or something else entirely, that remains to be seen.

Doesn't that mean whoever controls public opinion has the final say?
Bai Mu only has one mouth, and Evefeya is a member of the Miller family. If you tell Evefeya to shut up, how much noise can Bai Mu make on his own?

As for the Maple Crown Medal, it has considerable value, but in this matter, Bai Mu also needs to be investigated.

Holders of the Maple Crown Medal may enjoy privileges, but they cannot be involved in 'terrorist incidents' or anything that would undermine the foundations of the nation.

There shouldn't be any major problems during the investigation, but Bai Mu clearly doesn't want to go through that process.

The mass production of adaptive viruses like Dreamwalker... involves huge interests, and even if the technology is not mature, some people will still want to make it mature.

"I don't tolerate those people. It was something that had nothing to do with me in the first place." Bai Mu clicked his tongue. It was his private commissioned research, but the Miller family stole Evefeya's research results.

If problems arise afterward, he'll likely be implicated. Can he tolerate that?
If you lied to him, then just send him away too.

Bai Mu's nonchalant attitude made Bo Lei's lips twitch involuntarily; attitude can reveal a lot of information.

The less Bai Mu cares about the impact of certain things, the bigger the matter is, and the less he will consider the consequences.

While it does feel good to kill a bunch of insects, Bore himself is an official.

It's impossible to do whatever you want in every aspect.

The next thing to do is obvious: a massive investigation! A thorough investigation is absolutely necessary!

It's already kind of Bai Mu to tell him about this as soon as he learned about it; the rest is up to them to handle.

As for the possibility that Bai Mu's attitude might be feigned, Bo Lei didn't think too much about it. It might be an act, but it might not be. Bo Lei wasn't entirely clear on how powerful Bai Mu was now.

But Bai Mu showed the corresponding confidence, so he couldn't just think that Bai Mu was bragging, could he?
“I’m tempted by this too.” Oscar looked at the research data that Borei had brought. Mass production of Dreamwalkers.

If it weren't for the existence of mutations and the potential for the brain to cause mutations, this thing would definitely be worth promoting vigorously.

The Bureau of Investigation desperately needs Dream Walkers. With more Dream Walkers, not only can the express delivery industry see greater development, but exploration can also be accelerated.

However, the consequences of the potential problems are quite serious.

As for the probability of the potential risks occurring, the research data did not specify. Evefeya's research conditions were insufficient to conduct in-depth research.

"Then you want it?"

“I do want it, but we lack the raw materials. It would be great if this adaptive virus could eliminate the side effects.” Oscar felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ha, can the side effects be eliminated? If they could be eliminated, the Miller family would have already used this as a powerful political asset."

“Then investigate, and detain Evereya,” Oscar said.

This matter definitely needs to be investigated. While investigating, we also need to think about how to keep the main characters in the incident and, incidentally, force the Miller family to leave.

Now that the technology has been leaked, it will be difficult to keep it a secret any longer. If the Miller family wants to cause trouble, let them cause trouble in Coalfield City.

By the way, let me remind Meilin City that this way, they won't be able to cause trouble domestically as they expected.

Even if they manage to avoid a major investigation, they still want to cause trouble abroad. If they really cause something big, then the Maple Crown Republic will have no choice but to implement a sacred severance.

The Miller family's troubles only need to start in Coal Forest City, not in Rota City.

The black water was caused by an invasion of strange creatures in Coal Forest City, and the Miller family couldn't completely shake off the blame afterward.

They say the black water was provided by the White Curtain, but the source of the black water is Meilin City.

How much can one person like Bai Mu provide?

Ultimately, it all comes down to the Miller family.

As for the vacancy left in Coalfield after the Miller family was driven out, that's not a big problem.

There are new projects in Rota City, and ambitious people want to come here.

The vacancy left by the Miller family will soon be filled.

"You're resting so early today?"

Denise looked at Everea, who had changed her clothes, and asked her with a smile.

"I'm not in the mood to study anything anymore. I'll wait for news." Evefeya put on her coat and looked out the window.

Evefeya felt incredibly fortunate to have Denise as her bodyguard.

However, the current situation is still related to the black water sent by Bai Mu. Without that, she wouldn't have conducted the corresponding research, and without the corresponding research, none of this would have happened.

As for accepting the black water sent by Bai Mu for research, Evereya did not regret it. When Bai Mu sent that thing, he only asked for her opinion and did not force her to conduct research.

She only started researching those things because she was interested in them herself.

Even the White Curtain's actions were entirely in line with their original agreement.

She would provide Bai Mu with assistance in her area of ​​expertise, and if Bai Mu encountered any special research material, she would also provide it to him for research.

Thus, the white curtain brought black water as research material.

If we're talking about who caused the problem first, it's definitely her. If she didn't have a family behind her, there wouldn't have been any trouble.

But without her family's support, she wouldn't have been able to learn to this level.

No matter how much her family supports her, they cannot steal her research results without asking questions. She even promised to continue to improve the adaptive virus and not to rush it.

However, her assurances did not influence the family's decisions, and her position within the family was not as high as outsiders might think.

After all, there are too many benefits to being rich and powerful; ambitious people in the family can get the best conditions for growth.

There are those who lack ambition, but with so many people in a family, you can still squeeze out a bunch of ambitious people.

Moreover, she was more interested in conducting her own research than in power struggles, which put her at a disadvantage in this matter.

"In that case, you would be considered a traitor."

"...They should not steal my research results."

Evefeya frowned slightly; this had crossed her line.

If a family can do something so ruthless and heartless, what will happen in the future?

Furthermore, they wanted to use the pretext of a marriage alliance to send her out of Rota City. Once she left Rota City, she wouldn't have any ability to protect herself, and she might never be able to breathe fresh air again.

"Get some rest. Wait for the results, or we'll have to resort to the last resort. I'm sorry..."

Everea promised Denise that she would provide her with excellent conditions when Claire came to the area.

But what has happened now makes it unlikely that her promise will be fulfilled.

“It’s alright. At least the environment in this world is better than I thought, and I can strive for what you mentioned myself,” Denise said with a smile.

Accidents are something you can never completely prevent.

However, since things have already happened, Dinesa isn't going to completely abandon Everea.

After all, in order to win her over as a bodyguard, Evelyn had prepared corresponding enhancement plans before White Curtain sent over the black water and before the formula for the adaptive virus was stolen.

The purpose is to ensure that Claire can immediately use the corresponding enhancement plan after she arrives.

She could choose to live like an ordinary person in Rota, but there is no conflict between choosing an ordinary life and obtaining better physical conditions.

"You're still so confident. Shall we go take a shower together?"

"Are you still scared?"

Evelya nodded gently: "...I have never experienced anything like this before."

She has had a smooth and successful life so far. As for the marriage issues that her family is urging her to get married, she has been able to refuse them whenever possible, and they are not difficult to resolve.

This gave her the illusion that she still had a lot of say in the family.

The new experience made her see reality clearly: she did have some say, but when it came to decisions involving major interests, her words carried no weight...

This shattered some of Evefeya's preconceived notions about herself, and her anxiety even affected her research desires.
