Chapter 258: Chapter 197 Do Whatever You Want_2

Because he didn’t like it, he arranged for that sin-filled flour mill to experience a magnificent explosion and get rid of the filth that had caught his eye.

Others usually don’t easily express their feelings about things they dislike.

But he was different.

He did whatever he wanted to.

Everyone despised the Motherland People, but everyone wanted to become one.

And he seemed to be able to become one at any moment.

At seven o’clock in the evening,

having finished planning a complete series of rocket launch proposals, Abba Lerner lay back in his study’s chair and massaged his temples.

Since last night’s encounter with Lord Bai Shi and having become his loyal dog, he hadn’t slept a wink.

He had been busy handling the tasks assigned by Lord Bai Shi.

As per Lord Bai Shi’s instructions, he had spent the whole day drafting plans concerning the domain of aerospace.

It wasn’t that he, a big and clumsy gang leader, was expected to get involved in aerospace. After all, the Philippines lacked notable satellite and rocket technology.

His role wasn’t to start from scratch but to leverage his strengths to lobby local capitalists and the government.

He tried to persuade them to officially cooperate once more with Lighthouse Country’s Kennedy Space Center.

The advancements that the Philippines had made in space technology were mainly through collaborations with other nations, using foreign rocket launch systems to send their satellites into orbit. For instance, the Philippines’ Maya-3 and Maya-4 cube satellites had been deployed from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Lighthouse Country, via SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.

What Lord Bai Shi wanted him to do

was to use his energy and connections to add a new satellite launch proposal to the Philippine government’s agenda and to work with Lighthouse Country again if possible.

Overall, the goal was to send a satellite into space, no matter who did it.

For Abba Lerner, this was not an impossible task.

If relations were managed right, then perhaps in two to three months, during the next scheduled launch of a rocket by Lighthouse Country, there might be a chance for a satellite to hitch a ride.

Thinking.

After a busy day, a somewhat dizzy Abba Lerner massaged his temples and then turned on the small television in his study to relax.

However, the moment the voice from the news broadcast was heard,

Abba Lerner couldn’t help but pause.

[April 17, 2024, immediate report]

[This afternoon, a serious accident that shocked the nation occurred at a large flour mill on the outskirts of Biyao City. The sudden violent explosion attracted widespread attention and prompted an urgent response.]

[According to initial reports from the Philippines National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and the Biyao City government, the explosion occurred at about 4:30 PM local time. The blast wave, strong as an earthquake, not only damaged the factory facilities but also caused intense vibrations in the surrounding residential areas, breaking windows of multiple buildings and covering the streets with a thick layer of flour dust and debris.]

[Emergency response teams, including the Biyao City Fire Department, the Philippines National Police, and the Red Cross, quickly arrived at the scene to conduct extensive search and rescue operations. As of now, 14 fatalities have been confirmed, and an unknown number of survivors are trapped at the center of the blaze caused by the explosion. Rescue teams are racing against the clock to search for potentially trapped people and are trying their best to control the fire caused by the explosion...]

Watching the news of the flour mill explosion in Biyao City,

Abba Lerner couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

If he remembered correctly,

among the four underworld bosses he sold out yesterday, like ordering dishes, one had that flour mill as his base, right?

And now, looking at the list of victims on the news, he recognized many familiar faces.

He had just sold that guy out last night,

and today, there was an incident. How could it be such a coincidence?

He hadn’t heard about anyone secretly wanting to strike at that old fellow in Biyao City.

So... there was only one possibility!

It must have been the doing of Lord Bai Shi!

If it were someone else, even a Shield Captain, Abba Lerner wouldn’t believe they could single-handedly take down a gang with private armed forces.

But if it were Lord Bai Shi...

that might not be impossible.

Thinking this, a glint of insight sparkled in Abba Lerner’s eyes, and he immediately contacted his confidant in Biyao City to find out the specifics.

Then he learned the more detailed facts.

The old guy in Biyao City’s underworld, who recently focused on human trafficking, used the flour mill as their transfer station.

Abba Lerner knew this.

The old Immortal of Biyao City was one of the biggest human traffickers in Southeast Asia.

But what he only learned from his confidant was,

today, the old Immortal had received a shipment of trafficked people from South Asia. However, since they didn’t leave air holes in the container, everyone inside had suffocated.

The old Immortal planned to repurpose the bodies, but suddenly, the entire flour mill exploded without almost any warning.

And the explosion, strangely enough, set all the surrounding areas on fire, but the section of the factory where these underworld bosses were hadn’t been touched by the blast. However, it was surrounded by a massive fire, leaving them absolutely no way to escape.

They were given hope, only to have them fall into despair.
