Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Collective Palace Coup

Chen Yu’s pupils suddenly dilated. He had only released an electric current, but now the man was dead.

After briefly adjusting his breathing, he hurried forward to check and found that there were no apparent wounds on Hannes’s body, just a crack at his neck.

The location of the crack was peculiar, right in the middle of the trachea.

An electric shock couldn’t possibly cause such an injury unless someone did it on purpose, or there was something abnormal about his body.

At once, Fox called over the doctors on standby to save Hannes at all costs.

However, after examining Hannes’s body, the doctors all shook their heads.

In their opinion, Hannes was already a dead man, beyond saving. Fox was just joking.

“Sir, this person must have dosed himself with some kind of drug, causing irreversible damage to his bodily functions. He’s beyond saving.”

What Chen Yu said struck Fox like a bolt from the blue.

The most important scientific researcher of his company had died so inexplicably.

“Wait a moment, Mr. Chen, did you just say he injected himself with a drug?”

Chen Yu nodded, “It’s probably the immortality drug you’re experimenting with.”

Fox gasped, that drug was strictly forbidden within their ranks, no one was allowed to inject it without authorization.

“If that’s the case, then he brought this on himself.”

Fox gave a signal to the doctors around him. They immediately went forward to take some samples from Hannes’s body and took them back.

Although the drug was already in clinical trials, most subjects were small animals, and it had seldom been used on humans.

Hannes’s body could serve as a good research subject.

Without lingering, Chen Yu exchanged a few words with Fox and then turned to leave.

The secrets of the Knights of the Round Table, he no longer wanted to delve into them. This place was like a purgatory on earth.

Staying another moment felt like torture.

Imperial capital, Tong Family estate.

Tong Ming sat there, his voice gravely low.

Lately, there had been many dissenting voices within the corporation.

The day he designated Chen Yu as his successor, many veterans within the company disagreed.

They believed Chen Yu didn’t qualify to be the successor at all.

Some even banded together to challenge his authority, wanting to strip Chen Yu of all his positions within the corporation.

Today, more than twenty veterans had appeared here at once, each bringing their contracts, trying to pressure Tong Ming.

The atmosphere on the scene was incredibly tense, the bodyguards both sides brought were on edge, about to come to blows.

Tong Ming adjusted his breathing slightly and directly took out his personal seal.

“Since you all wish to terminate the contracts, let’s not waste too much time, let’s start.”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock; they hadn’t expected Tong Ming to agree so easily.

“Mr. Tong, you had better think this through. Are you willing to kick out these veterans over a milk-nosed brat? Can you guarantee you won’t regret it in the future?”

Tong Ming laughed coldly, his face full of scorn.

“Gentlemen, remember the times when we fought side by side to conquer the world? You made all sorts of unreasonable demands, and I satisfied all of them.”

“As of today, all of you have a net worth of over a hundred million, and some even have tens of billions. I, Tong Ming, don’t think I’ve ever treated you unfairly, have I?”

The crowd exchanged glances, no longer daring to utter another word. They were well aware of the details behind the group’s development.
