After leaving the hospital, Veronica Murphy, formerly known as Ben, had planned to go straight back to Lothen. However, upon realizing that Matthew Kings was still working at the company, she decided to stop by One Piece Restaurant to buy some lunch before heading to Metric Technology.
To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Metric Technology, she saw a crowd gathered there.
Some stood, while others sat at the company entrance, holding white banners with black letters written on them.
"Metric Technology is responsible for deaths."
"Metric Technology must be held accountable for the harm it has caused. We demand justice."
"Shut down this corrupt company!"
...
As Veronica Murphy looked at the people holding the white banners, her heart sank. She turned on the indicator lights and parked her car by the roadside.
Veronica Murphy knew that something unexpected had happened at Matthew Kings' company, and she had arranged for Colt Mullen to investigate the situation. But why hadn't Colt Mullen informed her about such a significant incident?
Sitting in the car, she took out her phone. Originally intending to call Matthew Kings, she ended up dialing Colt Mullen's number.
On the other end of the phone, Colt Mullen answered after two rings, "Boss?"
Veronica Murphy furrowed her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "You've been investigating the current situation at Matt's company recently. How is your investigation going?"
"I've investigated. However... I didn't find anything unusual at Metric Technology. Everything seems normal," the other side replied calmly.
Listening to his words, Veronica Murphy pursed her lips, deep in thought. "Everything seems normal..."
Her speech was deliberate, with a hint of intrigue.
On the other end of the phone, Colt Mullen sensed something was amiss and nervously touched his nose. "Um, everything is normal, boss. What's wrong?"
Veronica Murphy's expression turned cold as she tilted her head and looked at the group of people causing trouble over there. Her thin lips slightly parted as she said, "Colt Mullen, you have betrayed my trust."
"Uh... Boss, what... what do you mean?" Colt Mullen started to panic.
