Chapter 1439: Scandal
Chapter 1439: Scandal
This was such a big revelation that it would send waves throughout the entirety of the Elite Society, as well as the Royal Continent in whole.
After all, the reputation of the Oscorpe Conglomerate was at stake. This wasn’t done by some disgruntled employee. It was done by their 1st ranked heir! In a matter of a few years, he would take on the mantle of the Conglomerate and lead it himself!
So, the fact that he would do this was an extremely bad reflection on the Conglomerate as a whole.
The incident in New Sparta was still very much recent in everyone’s eyes. People have lost their loved ones because of that tragedy. They have lost money, time, and investment because of the attack made by the Ersatz Organization.
Not to mention, the Erstaz was the one who made magic disappear from this world in the first place! They have completely screwed over the entire world in that regard.
So, for Worcester to suddenly have one of his employees pretend to be from the Ersatz organization didn’t sit well with the rest of the people here in the racing circuit.
And for what? He just wanted to cause chaos in the Reborn company’s event? He had caused those explosions and risked everyone’s life!
It must be mentioned that the people who attended this racing event was the Elite Society. And not just any citizen there, but the very elites of the elite. Royals were in attendance. Dukes, Barons, Viscounts and their children were here!
If something were to happen to these people, then it would cause reverberations throughout the Royal Continent!
And so, Worcester had done the very worst crime possible.
"You bastard!"
"Where is the Montgomery guards?! They should arrest that man immediately!"
"Kill him for all I care!"
Obscenities were thrown around towards Worcester, who sat alone in his garage. He had a contorted expression on his face.
Hate was spewing out of him. After all, in just one move, everything that he had worked hard for was suddenly toppled, just like that.
With the kind of scandal that he had unfolded, it was a guarantee that his family and his organization would turn their back against him. His father would disown him. He would be stripped of all of his power and influence so that he wouldn’t drag down the Oscorpe Conglomerate in his downfall.
They would do everything they could to separate themselves from Worcester.
And this was all because of Michael.
He looked at Michael, eyes red, ears almost spewing smoke. Then, he floated up into the air with Aubility Power creating a haze of aura around his entire body.
Then, it wasn’t long before his entire body became coated with a solid Nascent Armor.
It was in the form of dark blue armor, with some kind of shadow tendrils moving about in its surface, like eels and snakes.
"You... You are a pest to this world," Worcester said.
Michael faced him without any fear. Worcester was one stage stronger than him, which would be a death sentence in most normal cases. But for Michael, he knew he had no reason to be worried.
"And why is that?"
"Your inventions... They’re poisoning this world. You are ensuring that we are heading straight towards doom!"
Worcester’s words didn’t make sense. Michael couldn’t understand why he would think so, when he was intending for it to do the exact opposite.
"Doom! Death! They’re whispering to me! And they are telling me that you are a plague to this world that must be exterminated. I must exterminate you!"
It was at this point that people began to realize that Worcester wasn’t exactly right in the head.
This was quite a surprise. Those people who had interacted with Worcester before didn’t notice that there were a few screws loose in his head. In fact, he seemed completely normal.
And who knew he was that crazy? After all, when he was commanding his company as the 1st ranked heir of the Oscorpe Conglomerate, he didn’t exhibit any kind of craziness at all.
Michael frowned. He was starting to wonder if this was an act or not.
Is he just acting crazy? He could be... he might be doing this so that he could excuse everything he’d been doing as a freak incident of losing his sanity...
It was a very smart move. After all, those who had been calling for the taking of his head were suddenly silenced.
It wasn’t that strange for people of this world to suddenly turn crazy without any rhyme or reason.
Of course, that also happened back in the medieval era back in Miichael’s world. After all, this world had yet to discover things such as bacteria and other such medical anomalies that could cause a sudden loss of sanity.
And it was in this moment of uncertainty that Worcester suddenly moved.
He suddenly disappeared from sight, before reappearing just a few meters in front of Michael.
Then, with a completely normal voice, he muttered to Michael: "I got you."
Worcester extended his hand, and a dim blue tendril extended out of his palms and enveloped him and Michael in a strange bubble of darkness.
Michael frowned as he looked around this entire space.
He was floating in a seemingly endless expanse of a dark blue space. It looked very similar to the spatial time chamber of the black igloo he had back in the Nation of Reborn.
And he knew instinctively that he wouldn’t be able to exit out of his place so easily. If he tried to fly to the edges of this space, he would never arrive anywhere.
"What is this place?" Michael asked Worcester.
Donning his armor, Worcester smiled. "This is an isolated dimension. A product of my Aubility Power and my Nascent Influence. Here, nothing can come in or out unless I say so."
Meanwhile, back in the real world, the rest of the racing track looked at the giant blue ball floating in the air.
And all of the Nascent Spirit cultivators immediately knew that even if they tried to destroy it, Michael still wouldn’t be able to get out.
