CHAPTER 570 COMMERCIAL PLAGIARISM
The bat man's voice was soft, but it was one that caused Nadine's pupils to plummet.
"What exactly do you know about?"
Nadine's eyes were wary of the bat man, his heart pounding.
The bat man looked at her with flat eyes, "This place is well soundproofed, so no third person will know
about our conversation, and do you know why I didn't kill you last time?"
"Because, we share the same fate."
The bat man raised his hand and pointed to his brain.
Nadine's face grew pale: "Are you also coerced by the organization?"
The bat man smiled faintly, "All those who serve the 'Phantom', which of them are not coerced? They
joined the organisation for all sorts of reasons, only to never be allowed to return."
"Some people are dead to others, and there are some people who keep having people foolishly waiting
for them to come back, even if they know in their hearts that they can never come back ---- I envy such
people."
The bat man's face was tinged with sadness and a hint of sorrow.
"So, what exactly are you ......"
Nadine's pupils stormed open and her heart beat faster and faster.
She felt that she was close to getting in touch with the truth.
The bat man slowly lowered his cloak to reveal a face covered in vicissitudes.
It was a ghastly face, crisscrossed with scars, but, by the outline of his features, Nadine still vaguely Original from .
recognised who he was.
"It's you?!"
Nadine was full of surprise: "You are the bat?!"
The man smiled faintly, "If you think so."
Nadine became very emotional all of a sudden and seemed to have a lot of questions she wanted to
ask, but was pressed down hard by the man.
"I know what you're trying to say, but you have to understand one thing, it's not like it used to be, and
those relationships that used to be there become different because of the passage of time."
"Now, I am the 'bat' and work for the 'Phantom'."
The man's eyes were flat and his tone was indifferent.
Nadine's eyes lost their colour for a moment.
This result was unacceptable to her.
And, all that she had done for the young master was lost.
The man smiled, "Technically we are considered a team, after all, we have both worked for the
'Phantom' and now we are considered to be joining forces again."
"You sure would like to take this thing off your neck now, wouldn't you?"
The man looked at Nadine and asked with a smile.
After a long silence, Nadine nodded.
"You just show us your loyalty."
The man said with a smile, "Promise me to do one thing and I will help you take off this current collar
and, show you the way to remove the chip bomb from your head."
Nadine's eyes subconsciously became flustered, "I don't have a bomb in my head."
"Really?"
The corners of the man's mouth curled up into a playful smile, "Do you think you were the world's
number one assassin before for nothing? I guess you haven't even figured out if you've been
transformed until now, have you?"
Nadine blushed but watched without saying a word.
It was true that she did not know.
"Don't be silly."
The man's tone was hushed, "If you hadn't been transformed, you wouldn't have been able to top the
world so quickly."
Nadine still didn't believe it, "Then how come the bomb in my head hasn't gone off when I've already
defected from the organisation?"
"That's because you're the first product that's incomplete."
The man said lightly, "The first generation of chip bombs has many uncertainties."
After a pause, the man continued, "There's only one chance, and if you refuse, there won't be another
chance."
The man's words plunged Nadine into silence.
After a long time, she looked at the man with a complicated expression, "What is it?"
The man laughed and dropped a comment.
"Kill Leo."
"......"
After leaving Ying Lie Mountain Resort, Lydia did not go home, but went straight back to the office.
It seemed that something was wrong with the company.
"What's wrong?"
Leo asked from the sidelines.
Lydia said with a gloomy expression, "JP Chamber of Commerce has made a move against us!"
A cold light flashed in Leo's eyes.
The general director of JP Chamber of Commerce, Mylo, had given an ultimatum to L Group and J
Group.
If she did not join JP Chamber of Commerce and become a member of the Chamber, she was making
an enemy of the Chamber.
J Group, in particular, was a thorn in the side of JP Chamber of Commerce.
They were all set to agree to join JP Chamber of Commerce, but were stopped by Leo who came out
halfway.
Mylo had always held this grudge.
Leo smiled, not caring at all: "If JP Chamber of Commerce is having trouble with you, then it would be
good to have a new chief in charge."
Lydia thought that Leo was coaxing her, "Don't you joke, how can the chief of the Chamber of
Commerce change just like that?"
It was no wonder Lydia didn't believe it, after all, it was said like child's play.
Leo didn't explain, but simply asked, "So, what did they do?"
Lydia said seriously, "I'm not sure about J Group, but all of my L Group's distribution channels have
frozen in Hopkins, and the market is now all monopolized by a brand called 'Phantom Magic'."
"'Phantom Magic' cosmetics?"
Leo was amused by the name.
L Group's latest and best-selling brand was called 'Angel' and now a brand called 'Phantom Magic' had
come out.
Wasn't this a blatant contradiction?
Leo called Alan and the result he got was that J Group was not affected.
It was just that L Group had been closed down by the market.
"Yes, Irene has sent the information over."
Lydia said seriously, "This 'Phantom Magic' cosmetic is produced from a foreign group called F Group,
the price of the Phantom Magic series of cosmetics is a little lower than our 'Angel' and it works better,
and there has been some negative news on the internet about some negative news about our
company's products."
Lydia opened her mobile phone and gave it to Leo.
When Leo took a look, his eyes also stared.
There had been a lot of scorn directed at the 'Angel' range online.
Basically, they were the ones who used Angel cosmetics and cause their faces to break out and get
acne.
"Caroline has checked, these news are screened by consumers, all these people have one thing in
common. They have bought both 'Angel' and 'Phantom Magic' products, praising Phantom Magic and
stepping on Angel hard. "
Lydia said seriously.
"It's all about the war of opinion."
Leo's expression also became a lot more serious.
Products were changing rapidly, and although the market was artificially manipulated, at the end of the
day it came down to two words: make money.
That was how cruel the market was.
And how did the product become popular?
Wasn't that what public opinion was hyped up to be?
Leo could see that JP Chamber of Commerce was pushing this 'Phantom Magic' product so hard that L
Group had lost its market competitiveness.
"Don't worry, let's go and get a bottle of whatever that 'Phantom Magic' is."
The business world was like a battlefield, and Leo and Lydia were not very flustered.
This was a very common trope in shopping malls.
Soon, they arrived at a commercial plaza with a lot of traffic.
The place was littered with advertisements for the Phantom Magic range, all placed on the big screen.
Relatively speaking, there were no advertisements for L Group's 'Angel' range at all.
"All those advertising positions that originally belonged to us were given to 'Phantom Magic' products."
Lydia said.
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "The angel product prototype is our daughter and I will not allow
that to be suppressed like that."
Lydia casually bought a set of skin care products from the Phantom Magic Collection.
Unwrap it and apply it on his arm, it feels cool.
Lydia, however, blushed, "Isn't this our 'Angel' skincare product?"
After another glance at the recipe, anger finally surfaced on Lydia's face.
"Even the recipe is the same!"
Leo's eyes narrowed, "Commercial plagiarism?"
This was not a difficult task if they really wanted to refine the recipe.
Lydia was furious that the other party had plagiarised her company's products and had put her family's
products down so badly.
Lydia walked straight into the shop: "I want to see your boss, all of your products are plagiarized from
the 'Angel' series of products of L Group, which has constituted a crime."
The sales frowned: "Who are you to say that our goods are plagiarized from L Group?"
"Because your product is exactly the same as the one produced by L Group, just with a different
casing."
Lydia drank with a cold face.
"You're talking nonsense! Our family makes our own products, I think you guys are crazy about wanting
to be popular, right?"
The sales didn't even take Lydia into account and was aggressive.
The argument had attracted the attention of many people in the shop.
Even many of the people on the walk looked over in amazement.
Seeing that the other party was so unreasonable, Lydia was angry: "Call your shop manager to come
out, I want to ask the reason."
The sales cursed, "Who are you? Our shop manager is very busy, how can he have time to see you?
Get lost!"
Meanwhile, the sales had called security.
Soon, eight security guards walked up to Lydia.
"Are you making a scene?"
Lydia was undaunted: "I am Lydia Henderson, the president of L Group, the products you are selling
are simply plagiarized from our group in their original form, if you don't stop, I can sue you!"
No one was more familiar with the law than Lydia.
Sure enough, after Lydia finished these words, each of those security guards dared not come forward.
Even the sales didn't expect this woman to be the president of L Group, so she looked timid.
She understood that people of this calibre were not someone she could handle.
"Wait, I'm going to get the shop manager."
Having said that, she ran into the shop manager's office.
"Manager, it's not good, there's a disturbance outside, saying it's the president of L Group."
In the office sat a woman in her early thirties, cutting her nails.
When she heard that the president of L Group had arrived, she almost clipped the flesh of her
fingernails.
"What? The president of L Group is here?"
The woman's face was full of shock, but as if remembering something, the woman became subdued
again.
"The goods are produced by F Group, what does it have to do with us? What can she do? Go and
meet the president of whatever L Group."
