Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 827 - 531: Will You Go Over?

Yang City Hospital.

The moment the explosion occurred at Schroeder Pharmaceutical Company, Old Man Feng received the news.

In that city, Old Man Feng had also left people to keep an eye on the situation.

Involved in his most coveted desire, he was willing to invest a large amount of funds and become one of Schroeder’s supporters. Of course, he would not be completely oblivious to the foundation of the other party.

Learning of the explosion at the headquarters of Schroeder Pharmaceutical Company, Old Man Feng remained relatively calm.

He had already known that with the investigation team closing in, Schroeder would surely make a move akin to a cicada shedding its skin.

The question was whether the company had managed to do so successfully.

He instructed his people shadowing the situation to keep an eye on the investigation team’s movements and to immediately report back with any information.

Ancestral Factory Headquarters.

Ren, the professional stand-in, had finally concluded his mission and welcomed the principal back.

"What’s the hurry to return?" Yue Gengyang was puzzled.

"To guard against a move by the investigation team," Feng Yi said.

Yue Gengyang observed Feng Yi’s expression. At this moment, Feng Yi was sitting on the couch, appearing rather relaxed, but his facial expression did not match his laid-back posture.

"So things didn’t go smoothly?" asked Yue Gengyang.

"No. The trip went quite well, right time, right place, and the whole process was within the plan," Feng Yi said.

"Then what are you worried about?"

Although Yue Gengyang did not follow, in this era of the internet, he was able to discern some progress from videos online.

If everything went well on that end and there was no fear of the investigation team showing up, what else was there to worry about?

"It’s the same thing I mentioned to you last time," Feng Yi said.

Summoning the tornado, he felt it—the energy materials in the air, some of them were too restless.

Usually, without massive energy invocation, the agitation wasn’t too evident, but upon summoning the "Fire Dragon," he found the disturbance in the sky changed quicker than he anticipated.

And this was not just some minor turmoil; it was agitation on a much larger scale! Once a point becomes a vent, the impact would be unimaginable!

When Yue Gengyang heard this, he immediately sat up straight, "Are you saying the worst-case scenario you mentioned is starting to emerge?"

"No, the probability of it happening has just increased!" Feng Yi corrected.

Every experiment of the Butterfly Project generates new energy materials, and these new materials started to alter the original balance. While this change was generally good and brought benefits to Feng Yi, too rapid a change could invoke a backlash.

Feng Yi used those energy materials to enhance himself, achieving transformation and inheriting skills passed down from ancestors over millions of years.

Perhaps the ancestors also spent a long time discovering a safe method of usage.

The Butterfly Project was too hasty; they wanted to use more experiments to explore unknown variables, yet it was hard to foresee the magnitude of the potential backlash those variables could cause.

"Fortify every branch and warehouse, make immediate changes where necessary, and prepare for floods and storms, not just in coastal areas but also in other locations—stay alert!" Feng Yi said earnestly.

"Every branch and warehouse?" Yue Gengyang asked.

"Every single one! Regardless of the size of the local divisions, whether it’s a large warehouse or a small one, upstairs, or in the basement, make sure to complete all preventive measures!"

Yue Gengyang nodded, "After the vote on the live exercises ended, and you said you had a bad feeling, I notified all locations to strengthen their safety measures. We’ll fix any oversights now, and I’ll have those who haven’t completed the security upgrades expedite the process. Our affiliated companies will also undergo another round of inspections."

Feng Yi continued, "There have been too many tests near the coast these past two months; can you ask them to slow down?"

Without hesitation, Yue Gengyang replied, "That’ll be difficult! You need to look at this data."

He pulled up news from the past couple of days.

"This reports the stock price growth of companies related to the Butterfly Project concept over the past three months."

In a short time, stock prices skyrocketed, driving many into a frenzy.

"A new batch of billionaires has emerged, and this is just a preliminary tally," Yue Gengyang continued. "Remember Raymond?"

"The big investor, Raymond?" Feng Yi had encountered the investment tycoon during the live exercises.

"That’s the one. He’s the guy who verbally opposed the plan, voted reluctantly, but when it came to action, he didn’t hesitate at all."

Attitude is one thing, making money is another.

"He might even make it into the top five, perhaps even the top three of this year’s billionaire list!" Yue Gengyang said. "New and old billionaires are increasing their investments in the Butterfly Project and its related concepts. Performance, local political achievements—too many people are tied to this chariot of war! Asking them to stop isn’t simple. Even if you stepped forward, you would be suppressed."

Feng Yi exhaled deeply.

"Then all we can do is make the best of human effort for now."

No one knew better than him the terror of the energy agitation above the skies.

Even the storms created by the massive energy exchange during his shedding process had far less impact than naturally occurring typhoons and hurricanes.

Perhaps the ancient ancestors could have dealt with it, but not now—not in these times, not in this environment.

He, a poorly developed and weak descendant, was far from their equal.

On the other side of the ocean.

The joint investigation team was still working closely.

The incident that night, as reported by the media to the public, was a result of a chain of explosions and combustion caused by a nighttime maintenance accident.

But various rumors also began to spread.

With residents’ videos capturing the event from multiple angles going online, multiple theories quickly proliferated.

Experts from different countries were analyzing why a fire tornado had formed under such weather and environment—a peculiar phenomenon.
