Chapter 126: Ascend the Dragon! Ascended into the Void....


The residents did not break their promise: every day, early in the morning, just as the sun rose, they would drive a car full of medication and medical equipment to the Haitian community without wasting a single second, immediately starting to treat the Haitians. The Haitians' expenses were only a negligible amount of money for medicine, and it was handed over to the Voodoo Gang.

This unprecedented enthusiasm left the Haitian populace unable to resist. If this were some ancient place, it would be at the level of erecting a living temple.

When a message is beneficial to a group, its dissemination speed increases geometrically.

As a result, the name of the ERO medical company, initially not well-known on the Taiping Continent, quickly spread to the ears of every Haitian.

And certain things started to emerge from unknown sources, being spread among the people by word of mouth.

"Did you hear? These doctors were brought in by Placid."

"I knew it, only Placid cares about our lives. He used to often bring food to our family."

"But I heard Brigitte seems to disagree with letting this company diagnose us."

"Hmm... maybe she's worried the hospital will do something bad."

"What could possibly happen? I saw Azwado test the medicine with my own eyes; there's nothing wrong."

"That doctor updated my Prosthetic System, and my arm doesn't hurt as much anymore — even better than the inhibitors."

"Who knows what she's thinking? I haven't seen her for days; I've almost forgotten what she looks like."

"I knew it, Placid is still the best. He's the role model for us Haitians, definitely the next leader of the Voodoo Gang."

"That might not be certain. Yesterday, I overheard Placid and Brigitte arguing fiercely. Brigitte wanted him to kick those doctors out..."

"What!"*N

After the shock, the crowd was confused and dissatisfied.

"Why do that? Aren't they all good people?"

"Exactly, yesterday Garcia's family couldn't afford the medication, yet those doctors helped cover the cost. Why kick them out?"

"They are really nice, even bought candy for the kids to eat."

"Even Michelle agreed to this free clinic and said the doctors are messengers sent by the Sea God. Why does Brigitte want to kick them out?"

"Obviously, she's worried Placid will take her position. You know, Brigitte didn't like us from the beginning."

Due to staying in the data room and Cyberspace for so long, very few Haitian civilians have interacted with Brigitte, and she maintains a great deal of mystery. However, if someone rises with public support, her position could be at risk.

Especially since that person is a high-ranking member of the Voodoo Gang, she would become even more dangerous.

Brigitte's reputation is rapidly declining, but due to the mutual lack of understanding, coupled with the Voodoo Gang always being the pride of the Haitians, most Haitians still hold the thought that Brigitte is just being cautious about the company's activities, without thinking deeper.

The forces behind the scenes are naturally dissatisfied with this status quo, the conspiracy still brewing while Brigitte, detached from the grassroots, remains unaware of what's happening, still immersed in her online world, hoping to find traces of relic2.0.

First, some mysterious recordings started circulating among the Haitians.

"Pain is only temporary. Although I sympathize with those tormented by disease, this is reality, Placid, we must learn to accept these small sacrifices."

"Great deeds! Placid! We're undertaking great deeds, how can we be tangled up with trivial matters like a few deaths?"

"Those medicines and those doctors are corrupting our compatriots' hearts; they're letting down their guard!"

"Suffering has honed the Haitians' indomitable spirit. Without suffering, we would fall apart; we must drive them away!"

Clearly, some individuals have become uneasy with the rising public support for Placid, turning from initial inaction to being unable to refrain from intervening.

Word of mouth spread rapidly, and due to too many mouths and tongues, they couldn't even pinpoint the origin of the recordings nor find a way to stop their dissemination.

Public opinion is swiftly plunging in a direction unfavorable to Brigitte, to the extent that she receives numerous strange looks even within the Voodoo Gang.

Regardless of how Placid tries to explain, others perceive it merely as him being magnanimous, enduring humiliation and heavy burdens.

What can Brigitte say?

The words did indeed come from her mouth, and not only Placid heard them, making explanation impossible.

Their relationship has also rapidly deteriorated during this process.

Brigitte has been trying to find traces online, yet that company appears spotless, like an innocent flower. Forget about plotting against the Haitians, they even pay more taxes than other companies.

As the free clinic event reached its fourth day, the turning point of what she anticipated appeared.

With increasingly worsening emotions, Brigitte got up and asked Neptune, who reported back to her at the Taiping Continent:

"Did you see with your own eyes?"

"I saw with my own eyes."

"You saw those people collaborate with the Internet Supervisor and move the network signal radar to the car?"

"Not only did I see them moving portable radar to the car, I also took photos!"

Neptune pulled out several brand-new photos from his pocket and placed them in front of everyone.

He used an old-style polaroid camera.
