I See through Everything

Chapter 264: Chapter 142: Each Shows Their Prowess

That afternoon, Watanabe Kenji and Watanabe Mahiro took the 25 million US dollars they had earned from West Yuan Group, a secret anonymous account prepared by Watanabe Junichi, the three technicians who knew the complete formula, and their families, and flew directly to Yangcheng.

「Three days later.」

ADM made its move.

Watanabe Junichi watched the figures burst through the door, his expression completely calm. "So these are your methods? I suppose it makes sense. This place is just a colony, crawling with the running dogs of those American beasts."

SLAP!

Watanabe Junichi was slapped across the face.

"You bastard!"

"Cough, cough..." A vicious look flashed in Watanabe Junichi’s eyes. In a flash, he drew a pistol from the lining of his collar.

"What?!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Aaaah!"

"Take cover!"

In an instant, three men were hit, collapsing to the floor and howling in agony.

The men outside snapped to their senses and reached for their own guns to fire back.

But Watanabe Junichi gave them no such chance. He turned the gun on himself, ending his own life.

Sanada Ichirō, the leader of the raiding team, stared at Watanabe Junichi, whose temple had been pierced by a bullet. His face was a mask of pain and fury. He had just been shot in the arm. Fortunately, his reflexes were sharp; the moment he saw Watanabe Junichi draw the gun, he had pulled a subordinate in front of him to block a shot. Otherwise, he would have been finished.

Just after hastily bandaging his arm, Sanada Ichirō received more terrible news.

"Chief, I’m very sorry, but that bastard destroyed everything."

"How dare he?" Sanada Ichirō gritted his teeth. "What about the feed?"

"Destroyed too. According to the farm workers, Watanabe Junichi spent the last two days dumping all sorts of chemicals into the water."

Sanada Ichirō slammed his fist onto the tatami mat, causing the wound on his arm to split open again. "Hsss... damn it! Make the technicians give up the formula."

The reporting team member looked helpless. "Sorry, Chief. The three technicians who knew the formula were taken away by Watanabe Kenji."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go find them!" Sanada Ichirō roared.

"Yes, sir!"

It turned out that Watanabe Junichi had sensed the danger two days prior. Still, he had held onto a sliver of hope. He only destroyed the data related to the Rokkaido Eel Company’s artificial eel breeding technology, disposed of all the specially formulated feeds, and added numerous chemicals to the farm’s water—harmless, but designed to interfere with any tests.

Soon, investigators discovered that Watanabe Kenji and the others had left the country for Cyrus.

When Yukimura Heiji heard the news, he was livid. He cursed at Sanada Ichirō over the phone, "You goddamn idiot! You useless fools can’t even handle one simple thing!"

Now that Watanabe Junichi’s relatives had all fled to Yangcheng, ADM’s hands were tied for the moment.

ADM had originally planned to make a move behind the scenes, framing the uncooperative Watanabe Junichi and sending him to prison to "drop the soap."

From there, they could secretly seize control of the Rokkaido Eel Company. ADM would then possess this goose that lays golden eggs, allowing them to invest further and increase the production of eel fry. They had no intention of letting Hailufeng Company and Brown Company monopolize the market for edible eel fry, especially in Europe and America.

As for the idea of sabotaging the eel fry industry just to hit Hailufeng Company, ADM had already dismissed it. After studying Hailufeng Company in detail, they concluded that attacking its eel fry business alone would be of little use. The company had other highly profitable products, such as White Truffles and specialty feeds.

What else could they do? They were capitalists, after all.

Unfortunately, with Watanabe Junichi’s suicide, the Rokkaido Eel Company’s technology was destroyed as well.

After all that effort, ADM was left with nothing to show for it.

As for the other major corporations...

Company B wasn’t heavily involved in the fishmeal feed industry. Their operations in the feed sector primarily focused on producing plant protein, which they then sold as a raw material to other feed companies.

Company C did have a sizable presence in the feed industry, but they couldn’t find many ways to target Hailufeng Company either.

Times had changed. Twenty years ago, the ABCD companies’ influence in the country was immense. But with the recent rise of domestic giants like COFCO Group and the China Grain Reserves Corporation, coupled with the rapid spread of information on the internet, they had been forced to restrain their activities.

After all, the slightest misstep could now lead to an online exposé.

Moreover, after the recent collapse of the Locke Consortium, various powers had become increasingly wary of large conglomerates from Europe and America.

Factions without the power to take on these giants had no choice but to turn a blind eye, looking the other way as long as things didn’t go too far.

Meanwhile, powers that *could* contend with the conglomerates from Europe and America, like Lucia, were taking action. Since last year, Lucia had begun a full-scale crackdown on ABCD’s grain and agricultural operations within its borders. This included establishing independent international channels for grain trade and transport to avoid over-reliance on ABCD’s networks.

Just as the ABCD companies were busy with their maneuvering...

Jiang Miao also noticed what these players were up to.

After all, as giants of the agricultural sector, it would have been strange if Jiang Miao wasn’t keeping an eye on them.

However, before Jiang Miao could do anything...

Watanabe Kenjiro arrived at Hailufeng Company with Watanabe Mahiro and the others, seeking a meeting.

In the reception hall.

The members of the Watanabe Clan looked utterly dejected.

Watanabe Kenjiro dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead to the floor in a deep bow. "Jiang Sang, I am so sorry to disturb you during your holiday season. We had no other choice. Our president has been killed, and we can only turn to you for help."

"You need work visas, don’t you?" Jiang Miao had clearly guessed what they were thinking.
