"What are they doing?" Alexia asked with interest.
"Those are environmentalists who believe this city is harming the marine environment, which will lead to the destruction of the Mediterranean's ecosystem. Honestly, the city's concept is quite good. Although there are still some areas that need work, it's already usable. It's a very good concept, just like our home," Eddie gave a rather fair assessment.
"Our home? Haha, it is indeed our home," Alexia said with a charming smile. She also had a home now. Was there anything better than being able to escape the shadows of her childhood?
Eddie, with his sharp eyes, noticed that those people were wearing clothes with the same logo: a dark flag with a dark mustang. Wasn't that the Greyhound Organization?
It was getting more and more interesting; even the Greyhound Organization had come out.
"You people, if you don't dismantle this city, you will pay a heavy price. The environment is not allowed to be destroyed, you vampires, go to hell!" a bald man with glasses shouted loudly.
"Dismantle the city!" "Dismantle the city!" his subordinates behind him yelled in unison.
Eddie didn't bother with the farce. As mere clowns, the Greyhound Organization was destined to be abandoned; they were just some foolish radicals. The pollution caused by this offshore city was actually very minimal. If there was any pollution to speak of, it was only from feces and garbage.
What surprised Eddie was that the city's manager was an old acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time. Michael Warren, the former mayor of Raccoon City, was also him!
Only two years had passed since the Raccoon City incident, and Warren had already whitewashed his image, moved to a new place, and resumed his position. He hadn't been held accountable; it seemed having a good daughter made a difference. Thanks to Katherine's help, otherwise Warren would have been in big trouble.
"Hi, Eddie, long time no see." Warren excused himself to the surrounding Senators, took a wine glass, and walked over.
"Hi, Mayor Warren, long time no see. I didn't expect your political career to restart. Congratulations, congratulations," Eddie said with a fake smile.
"Thanks to your help, and please say hello to Katherine for me. She gave birth to a granddaughter, I should congratulate her," Warren said with a hypocritical laugh.
"Yes, Katherine gave birth to a very lovely daughter for me. I love my daughter very much. I heard that Mrs. Naveli also gave birth to a daughter, so I should congratulate you too," Eddie laughed heartily.
Warren's expression changed. His mistress, Naveli, had left him more than a year ago. They were married in name but had been separated for a long time. Now that she had given birth to a daughter, it meant he had been cuckolded. How could he be happy?
Chapter 427: The Grey Hound's Conspiracy
"You're welcome, thank you. Both mother and daughter are safe, no need to worry. Enjoy your food and drinks here. If you need investment, I will give you the maximum discount," Warren said with a hearty laugh, showing no sign of being cuckolded. This politician had truly cultivated himself to an incredibly absurd level.
"Alright, Ms. Naveli is a very gentle and considerate woman. You found a good wife, she is a good woman. Don't let her down, or I won't be polite," Eddie's smile was incredibly mischievous.
Mayor Warren seemed to hesitate, this was the first time he had met such a shameless person. Damn it, the daughter Naveli gave birth to wasn't his at all, but Eddie's. To say such shameless things to him, his lungs were about to explode with anger. He swore this bastard in front of him was definitely doing it on purpose.
Even knowing that the other party was doing it on purpose, Mayor Warren was helpless. Eddie was no longer the Umbrella insider with a few connections; he was now the owner of a globally renowned large pharmaceutical group. The two were no longer on the same level.
"I understand, I'll take good care of him. I plan to approve the BSAA's permanent stationing here. I wonder if TerraSave has any intention of establishing a presence in Terragrigia? The environment here is pleasant, and working here would be very comfortable," Warren prepared to attract this giant corporation for investment, so that if anything happened to the city, he would have people to back him up.
"Not interested. We're very comfortable on our own turf and don't want to waste time elsewhere. It seems you'll be very busy, so go ahead. If investment is needed, my wife will send someone to talk to you," Eddie didn't hide the fact that Excella was his wife. All company matters were handled by Excella.
After Warren left, Alexia looked at the Grey Hound members still protesting and demonstrating on the street far below, a strange smile playing on her lips. She had already guessed what was going on.
The sea breeze was cool. Just as Eddie was about to leave, he saw Leon and Kevin coming together. The two were secretly lurking, approaching the Greyhound Organization members, seemingly eavesdropping on something.
Ten minutes later, the Greyhound Organization members were forcibly expelled from the aquatic city of Terragrigia, and their faces were scanned and added to a blacklist using facial recognition.
Eddie walked over, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
Leon was so startled he pulled out his pistol, but Jessica kicked it away. Kevin reacted and stopped Leon from further action, saying impatiently, "Buddy, we're on a mission. Walking over so abruptly will cause trouble."
"What trouble? With just you two, you're not qualified enough. Tell me, what's going on? Why are you two following me to this city for no reason?" Eddie said, crossing his arms in a mob boss pose.
Kevin looked left and right, "Did you go to Kazakhstan Island with us before? Bruce, the CIA's ace agent, went missing. He was alive like me before, then disappeared after an accident, although there was a death certificate at the scene. But a few days ago, someone saw him near here."
"And he was with a local Black market merchant. That merchant is responsible for the sale of biological weapons in Eastern Europe. We suspect that person has defected," Leon took out a photo showing two people talking.
"Couldn't it be a CIA agent faking his death to infiltrate the enemy as an undercover agent? There are many such plots in movies," Eddie shrugged.
"No, we've investigated. The members who died in that accident also included members of the President's special agent logistics team. Our mission is to find Bruce and track down the mastermind," Kevin explained.
This scene felt a bit familiar. Regarding Bruce, Eddie initially thought it was Batman from Gotham City, but then he thought again and realized he must have mistaken him for someone else.
"Alright, let me know if you need help," Eddie said before leaving. This was just a polite remark.
At the same time, in a country near the Black Sea, there were continuous snow-capped mountains. Surrounded by these mountains, there was a modern airport and laboratory, a secret research institute jointly established by multiple pharmaceutical companies.
Initiated by General Morgan and sponsored by Simmons, this place was researching the latest biochemical viruses and derivative weapons.
The supposedly dead Bruce appeared here, with several knife scars on his face. A weapons merchant, hunched over, followed behind him with a large package.
"Leader Norman is here, right? On behalf of my boss, I've brought you something. I hope you like it," Bruce took out a bottle of virus. This was a modified Veronica Virus that could be spread through the air. The best way was to inject it directly, which would be more effective.
Bald Norman sat in the leader's position, his expression exceptionally arrogant, "You think I'll submit to you? Hmph, I already have a client I'm working with. You can go back."
Bruce's expression darkened, "This is an experiment you can use, just to buy insurance. Relying solely on your armed forces, you simply cannot destroy Terragrigia."
"Why should I believe you!" Norman said coldly.
"Because this world is being destroyed by humans. My organization is creating a new world, ruled by new humans. New humans, more civilized, stronger, and more rational," Bruce's eyes were filled with fanatical zeal.
Norman became interested. The Grey Hound's ideology had been twisted, from advocating environmental protection to opposing high technology, and then to destroying the old world. All of this began to twist, yet no one suspected it. "Who are you working for?"
"Sorry, I can't say. You just need to know that our goals are consistent. If you're interested, you might as well join our operation. We need to raise funds, and there's a fat sheep in South America," Bruce sneered.
"No problem, I'm happy to cooperate with like-minded people. Puppy, go get my tea. How can we let a distinguished guest stand? Give him a seat," Norman grabbed a subordinate and scolded him.
The resurrected Bruce didn't seem to be an undercover agent; it seemed he had truly been brainwashed.
Chapter 428: The Daughter Who Left Jill Speechless
Wolf Mother had already finished processing the documents and was resting her high heels on the desk, smoking a ladies' cigarette. This languid image, however, exuded a mature charm that made it impossible for people to concentrate.
"I knew it a long time ago. I was waiting for you." Wolf Mother extinguished her cigarette and stood up, stretching. Fortunately, the virus was strong enough that it didn't cause her body to deform after her second pregnancy.
As Jill walked out of her office, she saw her old teammate Chris approaching. "Is something wrong?"
Chris handed over a file. "Richard, we fought side-by-side in Raccoon City. He went to the Amazon Rainforest in South America to investigate a suspected biochemical attack and disappeared. Just now, local agents found him. He had turned into a zombie and was severely bitten all over."
Jill took the photo. "This is unfortunate news. Are there any instructions?"
"I want to take a few people to the Amazon Rainforest for investigation. The local area needs communication, and I'd like to ask for your help. I want to avenge Richard, do you want to come along?" Chris asked, it was just a subconscious action.
Jill was about to agree when Wolf Mother, standing nearby, patted Jill. "No, we need to ask Eddie first."
Jill seemed to have realized something and didn't object. She was married with children now and couldn't investigate things secretly like before. Although this meant less freedom, she could apply to her husband.
Chris slapped his forehead, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about that. Then please help me communicate with that side. If we joined the United Nations, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
Joining the United Nations would make them an official organization. Currently, the BSAA was just a private biochemical armed countermeasures unit, not a regular army.
"You go back and wait. I'll make a call to apply now; it'll take some time. You can pack your gear first. I also need to pick Kailie up from school, so I'll be leaving now," Jill said apologetically, then pulled Karena away.
On the way to school, Karena's expression was relaxed. "You feel like you've lost your freedom, right? That's what it's like for women. After marriage, you need to consider your family and can no longer go on adventures. You gain comfort, but lose a bit of excitement."
