"Mr. Sly, Mr. Sly, are you alright...?" soone tried to help Sly up, but was held back by another person nearby.
Sly struggled to steady himself. As a fourth-tier Beast Master, his hands and legs trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered unconsciously, "It's all over, everything is over."
Axel and Kevin both turned pale, as if soone had walked over their spines. They slumped in their chairs, devastated. Now that the Beast Master Guild had prohibited Lsengard's Beast Masters from purchasing drugs from the Miller family, all their investnts in production equipnt were undoubtedly going to waste.
Especially for Axel, the entire Miller family relied on pharmaceuticals for their livelihood. With no one buying their drugs, bankruptcy lood large for the Miller family.
Worse still, not only were the drugs unsellable, but they also couldn't buy raw materials. This situation would severely weaken the Miller family, the Draven family, and the Taylor family.
The Taylor family was hit hardest, having suffered several blows and continually weakening. Now, they not only failed to monopolize Lsengard's pharmaceutical industry but also had nearly fifty gold coins in debt.
"Sly! You have to think of sothing," Axel urged desperately, his family's survival at stake, no longer caring about formalities, he started shouting Sly's full na.
"Shut up!" Sly took several deep breaths, trying to regain his composure.
There were no other options now; the only way to minimize losses was to sell off the drugs and equipnt to other cities. Even so, the original loan of fifty gold coins might only fetch back ten now.
"Damn it! Who did this? Find out who put pepper spray, and where did Raj and the others get the Coca-Cola recipe!" Sly's veins bulged on his forehead, his deanor as terrifying as a vengeful ghost. Seeing his subordinate still frozen in place, he kicked him forcefully, sending him crashing against the wall, and then falling heavily, spitting blood continuously.
So scread in fright, while others quietly moved towards the door, hoping to leave.
"Stop! No one leaves; there's still hope!"
Kevin stared at Sly, who had just spoken, his brow furrowed deeply. What could possibly be done in such a dire situation?
He felt a desire to retreat, to stop now while there was still sothing left to salvage, maybe even a chance to start over later.
"Mr. Sly, let's pull back. Everyone's selling Coca-Cola out there; we can't win this."
"Kevin, you want to leave too?"
"If we pull back now, we can preserve so strength and maybe seek revenge later. If we keep this up, my family, the Draven family, might well be expelled from Lsengard."
"You, the Draven family, may have an escape route, but I have none left! No matter what, I need to find out who the saboteur is. I, Sly, will not let them go, even in death!"
Driven to desperation, Sly had lost all reason. Faced with his son's death and the impending bankruptcy of his family, he had only one thought: to risk everything on one last gamble!
How to gamble?
Their situation couldn't get any worse, so the only option was to drag down David, Raj, and Henry with them. As long as their situation was worse than his, there was still hope.
"First, burn down their factory equipnt. Then, pin the deaths of a few Beast Masters on Coca-Cola. With the help of the dia, we might have a chance."
"Axel, you take care of the fire; Kevin, you handle the aftermath. Make sure to bring along several TV reporters."
Axel and Kevin brightened up at the idea. If they could make all of Lsengard believe that Coca-Cola was lethal, under such public pressure, what could David, Raj, and Henry possibly do to fight back?
Sly, with a dark look on his face, added to Kevin, "If you can't find any dead Beast Masters, just make so."
Kevin nodded, unfazed by the directive. Though it was against the law, with so many Beast Masters in Lsengard, a few unaccounted deaths wouldn't matter if no one found out.
Unnoticed by everyone in the office, the silhouette of Mousie flashed past the window.
Inside the Blackwood family's pharmaceutical factory,
Raj, sitting on the sofa, looked at Charles and confird once more:
"Charles, are you sure about this? That Sly is planning to set the factory on fire soon?"
Charles nodded. After learning about the notice issued by the Beast Master Guild, he had been covertly monitoring the movents of Sly, Kevin, and Axel.
As expected, these three were not idle. Upon hearing their plan, Charles rushed to the Blackwood family's pharmaceutical factory to find Raj and urge him to move the manufacturing equipnt elsewhere.
Raj was skeptical at first, but Charles insisted, "Don't worry about anything else right now. They're going to set fire to this place soon. If you don't want to suffer heavy losses, better move the equipnt and raw materials sowhere else."
Despite his doubts, Raj acted on Charles' advice.
After they had moved everything, under the cover of night, a group quietly approached the factory.
"How's everything going? Are all the nearby surveillance caras taken care of?" Axel whispered to soone in the dark.
"Mr. Axel, everything's set. All the caras around here have been destroyed by my mystical beast," the person replied.
"That's good. The next steps must leave no trace. Everyone, stay sharp. We need to be quick when we set the fire."
As soone peered at the brightly lit factory, they voiced their concern: "Mr. Axel, it looks like they're still working. There are workers inside the factory. What should we do about them?"
"What else can we do? It's their fault for working for the Blackwood family. Bla Raj and his people! You just focus on setting the fire."
Axel had no concern for the workers still inside. Was he supposed to warn them about the fire he was about to set?
As long as he could sabotage the business plans of Raj, Henry, and David, he didn't care how many civilians were hard.
"Let's do it!"
At Axel's command, a group of masked individuals summoned their mystical beasts and began hurling gasoline cans into the factory.
Once enough liquid had spilled, several fire-type mystical beasts started unleashing their abilities.
In just an instant, flas erupted within the Blackwood family pharmaceutical factory, shooting skyward and illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Axel watched the blaze unfold before him, a satisfied expression on his face. From the burning factory, occasional screams could be heard. Listening to the agonized cries, Axel said calmly, "This is what happens when you cross ."
What he didn't know was that the sounds of anguish were all coming from speakers inside the factory.
anwhile, hidden in a shadowy corner, Charles was recording everything on his phone, including a close-up of Axel's face.
Mousie was not beside him; Charles had sent Mousie to follow Kevin. "It's almost over here. Soon I'll et up with Mousie to capture how Kevin is framing everything."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing their faces when they watch these videos," Charles mused, before disappearing into the darkness.
The next morning,
Outside the Smith family group headquarters, a large crowd gathered along with dozens of Lsengard's TV stations and news dia reporters. Behind them, cara operators focused their lenses.
The reporters announced, "According to reliable sources, the Coca-Cola produced by the Blackwood family pharmaceutical contains lethal toxins that have already caused several innocent Beast Masters to die."
"Let's now speak to so of the victims' relatives."
The cara slowly zood in on a crowd where several stretchers covered with white sheets were surrounded by grieving family mbers, loudly lanting and cursing.
Inside the corporate building, in a conference room,
Raj, Henry, David, and others looked down through the glass windows, their expressions tense and troubled.
Raj glanced at Charles and said with relief, "Gentlen, no need to worry. Sly is despicable and shaless, but he doesn't know that Charles had everything figured out well in advance."
"Indeed, thanks to Charles' warning, we avoided a massive loss!" Henry and David nodded in agreent, appalled that Sly would stoop to such monstrous levels to fra them using human lives.
Henry sighed, looked at Charles, and asked, "What should we do next? Perhaps we should just release the video evidence."
In just a brief mont, the Blackwood family pharmaceutical factory was engulfed in flas, a fierce inferno shooting up into the sky, suddenly illuminating the surrounding darkness.
Axel watched the fire unfold before him, a satisfied look on his face. Periodic screams echoed from the burning factory, and listening to those painful cries, Axel calmly stated, "This is what happens to those who oppose ."

Unbeknownst to him, those cries of agony were all coming from speakers inside the factory.
anwhile, lurking in a dark corner behind him, Charles was capturing everything on his phone, including a close-up of Axel's face.
Mousie wasn't by his side; Charles had already sent Mousie to follow Kevin. "It's about wrapped up here, I'll go find Mousie soon to record how Kevin is setting everything up."
"I can't wait to see their faces when they watch these videos," Charles mused, then turned and disappeared into the darkness.
The next morning,
A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the Smith family group headquarters, accompanied by dozens of Lsengard's television and news dia reporters, microphones in hand, followed by cara operators.
The reporters incessantly broadcasted, "According to reliable sources, the Coca-Cola produced by the Blackwood family pharmaceuticals contains lethal toxins that have led to the deaths of several innocent Beast Masters."
"Let's now hear from so of the victims' relatives."
The cara slowly focused on a group where several stretchers covered with white cloths were surrounded by about a dozen grieving relatives loudly crying and cursing.
Inside the building, in a conference room,
Raj, Henry, David, and others were continuously looking down through the glass windows, their expressions tense and grim.
Raj's gaze swept over Charles and he said with relief, "Gentlen, no need to worry. Sly's thods are despicable and shaless, but unfortunately for him, he doesn't know that Charles was already well aware of his plans."
"Indeed, thanks to Charles' tily alert, we avoided a massive loss!" Henry and David nodded in agreent, shocked by Sly's ruthless tactics of using human lives to fra them.
Henry sighed and looked at Charles, asking, "What should we do next? Maybe we should just release the video evidence."
Charles replied, "Just wait a bit longer, let's see Sly's performance first. He's put so much effort into it; how could we not watch?"
David couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Sly's upcoming act. Sly thought he could turn the tables with his performance, but he was just a clown, unaware that they had already gathered all the evidence and were just waiting for him.
At that mont, Sly, Kevin, and Axel appeared on the main street.
