Chapter 280: Chapter 133: The Sky Falls (Request for Monthly Pass) Chapter 280: Chapter 133: The Sky Falls (Request for Monthly Pass) Xu Mo had an escort as he left, and he headed directly back to the Southwest Military District at the first opportunity to avoid any mishaps.
Massive protest marches erupted in Steel Dome City, with countless citizens spontaneously taking to the streets and heading towards the City Government to demonstrate.
It was clear that Nan Mingyuan was sheltering the Gene Company.
After Miss Ian’s accusations, the Gene Company, in a frenzy of arrogance, even launched an armed attack—such brazenness!
Did the Gene Company even consider the citizens of Steel Dome City?
Ian, with her immense popularity in Steel Dome City, had suffered inhuman abuse as a subject of genetic experimentation.
Her father was turned into a monster and killed.
And Elsa, her situation was also dreadful.

With both the testimony of family members behind the Gene Company and the evidence collected, it could be said the case was ironclad.
Otherwise, the Gene Company wouldn’t have gone berserk and attacked Mia and the others directly.
The Capital’s motorcade made its way through Steel Dome City.
The order in Steel Dome City was on the verge of collapse once again; it was time for them to evacuate.
Sitting in the vehicle, they could see crowds of protestors everywhere.

Although it hadn’t happened to them yet, the Gene Company’s arrogance inspired a sense of shared dread—as if what happened to Miss Ian could one day happen to them.
What then?
Utter despair, endless despair.
If it weren’t for this fortunate convergence of circumstances, with Mia Miss capitalizing on her popularity to launch a forceful accusation during the Capital’s visit, it was unlikely the public would have ever learned the truth, as the news would likely have been suppressed before it could spread.
“Director, the Prometheus Company is conducting human experimentation, even using children as test subjects.
This is inhumane.
Shouldn’t the Capital inquire about this?” Stark said to a lead officer in the Capital College vehicle.
“The College shouldn’t meddle in government affairs.
I’ve already relayed the information to the College, and they’ve received the news.
They will report to the Federation Government.
As for what the Federation Government will do, that’s beyond our control,” the officer replied.
Stark nodded.
He was, of course, well aware that the dark side of this world was vast and rarely exposed.
The exposure of such a heinous incident in Steel Dome City was bound to have a terrible impact.
It was likely that the Federation Government would also have to look into it.
The motorcade moved on, arriving at a controlled area where Flying Devices from the Capital were parked.
They disembarked from the vehicle, making their way toward the Flying Device, preparing for the journey back.
“You guys go on ahead, I have some things to take care of,” Stark said, stopping as they were boarding, addressing the crowd.
That guy Ryan still hadn’t returned his Mecha; he needed to keep an eye on it, so it wasn’t swallowed up by him.
“Alright, take care of yourself,” the leader said to Stark, aware of Stark’s identity and that special escorts were available for him.
Indeed, several people were already behind Stark, providing protection.
In Steel Dome City, no one dared to touch him; a little caution was all that was needed.
Zero stood beneath the Flying Device, turned back on hearing Stark’s words, and then looked off into the distance.
“Zero,” the leader called out to Zero.
“I’ll stay as well,” Zero said.
The leader glanced at Zero, unsure of how Zero had come to know the genius of Steel Dome City.
Was he staying behind for his sake?
“Okay, stay safe as well,” the leader said.
He knew that Zero was also being protected covertly by someone strong.
One by one, the people boarded the Flying Device.
Zero turned back, approaching Stark, to which Stark reflexively took a step back.
This demoness, could she really have gotten involved with Xu Mo?
A golden boy, silver girl couple.
“What are you looking at me for?” Stark said warily, having developed a psychological shadow since learning that Zero was the female demon.
In the Super God Arena, before Xu Mo entered, he had been the eternal second, beaten every time he appeared.
“Lead the way.”
Zero spoke, unfamiliar with the area.
“…” Stark looked at Zero.
What did this couple take him for???
Was he, the Young Master of the Stark Group, to be ordered around so casually?
Zero saw Stark’s lack of response and frowned.
“Fine…” Stark conceded.
Better not to provoke!
…
Prometheus Company building.
Office.
Barton O’Brian, the actual person in control of the Gene Company.
In front of him, numerous screens simultaneously displayed scenes from Steel Dome City, making old Barton’s expression particularly unseemly.
Some things must be done underground, out of the public eye.
A few people knowing wasn’t a problem; assassination, news suppression, these were not difficult.
But when everyone knew, that’s when problems emerged.
They had utilized this exchange conference to bring the issue to light, and to huge proportions.
There was a traitor inside the company, and they were collaborating with people from the Underworld.
He was furious, but now, fury was futile; he needed to strategize.
Suppression with the combined forces of the government was easy in the Underworld—they were the government itself.
But on the surface, it wasn’t so simple, and it could lead to a massive backlash, especially since the other party also controlled two legions.
But now, it seemed there was no other path forward.
At that moment, his Communicator vibrated.
Old Barton glanced at the number, and his face immediately took on an additional shade of distress.
He answered the call.
Voices came through, and as Barton listened, the muscles on his face twitched.
When he put down the Communicator, a severe chill flashed across his eyes.
The call was from Prometheus Headquarters, telling them that the incident had reached the Capital, the Federation Government was involved, and the Prometheus Headquarters were abandoning them, advising them to fend for themselves.
