I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

The injured were all taken to several nearby clinics for emergency treatment.

Apart from the few who initially planned to escape and were permanently expelled from the gang, the rest received substantial rewards.

Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, an exquisitely designed, black four-wheeled carriage came to a stop outside an old red-brick apartment building, its wheels pounding through the muddy snow.

Miller stepped out of the car as the dim gas streetlights on both sides and the two brass lanterns on the vehicle reflected each other's light.

Edward and Herbert carried Evan down from the carriage on a stretcher.

Having already received advance notice, Richard and the others quickly took Ivan in and escorted him back to his house.

"You've had a tough trip," Richard said with gratitude.

Miller smiled and said, "It was just a car ride and a few words."

As he spoke, a hint of eagerness appeared on his face: "I was thinking of fighting with the capitalists of Bolton City, but I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly."

"I've always wanted to let these capitalists taste the iron fist of taxation that I developed."

"It seems there's no chance this time."

Richard laughed heartily: "Indeed, it can only be said that Sap died very quickly."

“If Sap is still struggling now and shows signs of success, the whole city is likely to descend into riots.”

Miller nodded in agreement: "Dr. Armitage asked me to pass on a message that after this recovery, Arkham can go to the University of Michigan for a short-term training course."

"Although we don't know at this stage why the immortal witch has been quiet lately."

"But going back to his hometown first to find out the situation will ultimately be good for his future."

Richard nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him the news after he wakes up."

Miller patted Richard's broad shoulder: "I'll be staying at the Healing Church's chapel for a while now. You can come to me anytime if you need anything."

Miller then drove the carriage away into the night, accompanied by Edward and Herbert, the two lively boys.

After that, there were no further incidents. Richard and his two companions stayed with Evan from dawn till dusk, and then from dusk till dawn again.

Due to the side effects of the Bloodthirsty Seed, Evan unconsciously woke up once.

Richard had already prepared to use his own blood, letting Evan suck on it a couple of times before falling asleep again.

Evan slept for a full thirty-six hours before finally waking up with a comfortable groan.

Seeing Ivan's actions, several people hurriedly gathered around.

Then Ivan opened his eyes. The hideous, twisted red hemangiomas in his eyes had faded, and his eyes had returned to their usual clean black and white.

Her overall condition changed from being pale and dazed to returning to her usual sunny and cheerful self.

Seeing that Ivan was alright, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Evan woke up, he saw the heads of three big men pressed against his front and instinctively let out a scream.

"Holy crap! I'm straight!"

Upon hearing these confident words, the three of them stood up and burst into laughter.

Before he could speak, his stomach rumbled like thunder.

"Brothers, I'm starving! Can you get me something to eat?"

David nodded immediately: "Yes! I'll go buy it!"

The next hour was spent eating.

As Evan gradually finished the food, which cost a full two dollars, he also heard Richard and the other two tell him about what had happened during their thirty-six hours of sleep.

First, following the death of Sap, the entire Sap Group quickly convened a board meeting.

At the same time that the other party held a board meeting, the municipal government took direct action.

After obtaining the relevant laws and regulations, the supervisory department, tax department, police department...

A joint enforcement action by numerous official departments swiftly targeted the headquarters of the Sapu Group, including its mines, factories, and real estate...

A rigorous investigation and temporary sealing were conducted in many aspects.

Immediately afterwards, various related posters quickly spread throughout Bolton.

These include numerous charges against the SAP Group, such as disregarding human life, human trafficking, operating a cult, tax evasion, enslaving employees, and engaging in illegal business operations.

During this period, all residents of Bolton saw a large number of police officers and even the National Guard join the raid.

Armed police and soldiers entered and exited that mysterious and upscale manor dozens or even hundreds of times, day and night.

Various offices under the SAP Group, as well as key personnel, were temporarily detained and subjected to intensive interrogation.

It can be said that the SAP Group, which was responsible for the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people, was already on the verge of collapse without any warning.

The SAP Group, of course, did not sit idly by and wait for its demise.

With the help of the Chamber of Commerce and their last remaining loyalists, they incited many of the closed-down employees to begin protests and demonstrations throughout the city.

Naturally, these workers were very dissatisfied because their livelihoods were disrupted. The protest of several thousand people quickly expanded to tens of thousands, fueled by relevant departments at various levels.

In an instant, the entire city of Bolton was thrown into chaos.

Protests and demonstrations were everywhere, and clashes were happening everywhere...

The workers, dressed in tattered clothes, held up crude signs and shouted in the snowy streets, confronting and shoving the police who were holding batons.

Despite the chaotic situation, this has not deterred the determination of the judges' faction.

After all, having made preparations in advance, they had quite a few backup plans.

The entire protest march collapsed abruptly after lasting only one day.

Because of a split within the Sap Group, Sap's daughters and sons are not to be underestimated.

The directors of those groups naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch their shares and assets depreciate.

They quickly made the necessary cuts, and then each joined forces with Sap's sons and daughters to begin actively dismantling the massive Sap Group.

The judges' faction was very satisfied with the outcome and quickly provided policy support.

They later stated that the primary target was members of the notorious cult centered around the Sap Group.

As the entire group split up, the various independent factories and real estate companies that had been seized quickly resumed normal operations.

Although the investigation is ongoing, the livelihoods of these workers have been secured.

……

After hearing this, Ivan sighed, "It's clear that the judges' faction doesn't want a second Sap to emerge."

David nodded: "Lord-level factory owners are still too difficult to deal with."

"The faction on the judges' side now prefers relatively small and medium-sized capitalists; they won't allow such behemoths to exist for long."

Richard smiled and said, "The evidence currently being brought against those people in the Sap Group is also quite relevant to you."

Evan, who was stuffing meat into his mouth, suddenly looked up: "Me?"

Richard held a cup of hot tea, which others would find too hot to handle, in his palm.

“Sap is the financial backer of the Olcott family, and the relationship between the two sides is very close.”

“When the Alcott Manor was seized before, there was a lot of dirt on the Sapp family inside.”

"It's just that they selectively release information over there, keeping it under wraps."

"Now that the SAP Group has collapsed, all those scandals that were impossible to uncover before have suddenly come to light."

At this point, Richard snorted coldly, "That's quite a clever tactic."

Having seen too many similar tactics, Ivan nodded: "These are not really our concern."

"By the way! How's our commendation this time? We should be able to get that official position we talked about before, right?"

At this point, David became excited and said, "We can get it! Vic came over in person last night."

"Visiting you also means that I can keep my promises."

He said that after you wake up, the four of us should go to the police station first.

After crunching and swallowing the last few pieces of beef bone, Evan immediately stood up and said, "Then what are we waiting for!"

"The mission is complete, time to go claim the prize!"

The four of them then quickly boarded the carriage.

While in the carriage, Ivan chatted with the three people while glancing at his attribute panel.

Although I slept for 36 hours, a long time has passed.

However, since this batch of potions was mainly used for injections, only one potion has now achieved a reversed effect.

You reversed the quick-acting purifying potion.

Your silver resistance is permanently increased by 10%.

You like the moon more now; Moon affinity +15%.

[The Moon's affinity was reversed from being devoured to: Sun's affinity +15%.]

"The same old story of the sun NTRing the moon."

"At this stage, with the improvement of physical fitness, the effect of the fast-acting purification potion is about the same as that of the regular purification potion."

"Then there's the 5x improvement after the acupuncture..."

"It seems that not all potions have special mechanisms like the Light Potion and the Day Potion after being injected with needles."

"Or is it that only those permanent potions can trigger the mechanism?"

Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems my development of the power of the Nine Dragons is still not comprehensive enough!"

"This Nine Dragons Tyrant... is truly a pleasant surprise!"

"There's another ultimate solution that will be available in the future!"

The simultaneous injection of nine different potions was part of a plan that Ivan had devised in advance.

The nine potions were prepared in the best proportions possible from the potions he could obtain at this stage.
