Country Y, the former world hegemon, was also known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets during the Victorian period, which meant that from rising to setting, everything was a British colony.
It is precisely because of this that for a long time, the international common language was Language Y.
However, with the outbreak of the two worlds and the sudden change of the international situation, this old power that once reached the top has gradually declined. It has long lost the glory of the great power it once was, and its national power has been greatly reduced.
One after another, the colonies declared independence and broke away from the rule of Country Y.
However, the centipede does not die.
With hundreds of years of inheritance, the Auckland family is still a true aristocrat standing at the top of the social pyramid of country Y.
In addition to the numerous listed group companies in which it openly holds shares, the political resources and wealth it secretly controls are even more staggering.
Tens of kilometers west of London, there is an ancient castle occupying an amazing area. Far away, a clear and eye-catching warning sign was erected, "Private property, no visits."
This is the ancestral homeland of the Oakland family and where the main family is located.
Auckland XIII, Finny Auckland was lying ill on the hospital bed.
Nearly ninety years old, his body is no longer as healthy as it was when he was young. He is covered in chronic diseases that will occur from time to time. His internal organs seem to be in rebellion, torturing his spirit and will, and making his bad temper worse. worse.
As the head of the Auckland family, although he has more wealth than he can spend in a few lifetimes, there is still no way for him to have good health.
He grew up in fine clothes and lived in a wealthy family. When he was young, he was too dissolute and had drained the body of life energy.
Feeney knows that his ability to survive to this day depends on his billions. A dedicated medical team of 12 people is watching over him every day, dealing with his pain and suffering at any time.
Coupled with the expensive drugs used, it now costs millions of dollars to keep him alive for every day.
He knew very well that there were many people waiting for him to die. History is always surprisingly similar, like reincarnation.
Feeney had no resentment, and he didn't blame his unscrupulous descendants.
At the beginning, in order to inherit the old man's position, he was not the same. I just occasionally think about it. In such a family, it is indeed ironic that the sincere flesh-and-blood affection of ordinary people has become a different kind of luxury.
However, Feeney was not willing to give up fighting fate. Because I have been holding my breath in my heart, and it still doesn’t go well to this day.
Born in Rome, Fini's happiness index in his life has definitely exceeded 99.9% of the people on this planet. However, his life was not happy and complete.
It's very cruel. Even though Finny is young, rich and affectionate, his true love, Alice, did not marry him. Instead, he chose his old enemy, Belle Rose.
This is Feeney's biggest regret in life and an eternal thorn in his side.
Although Alice has been dead for more than thirty years, every time Feeney recalls her, it will touch the deepest tenderness in her heart.
Because of this incident, after taking power, business wars broke out many times between the Oakland family controlled by Feeney and the Ross family in country M.
In various industries, there is tit-for-tat and malicious competition.
However, both families know that at their size, even if they suffer some losses for a while, it is impossible to touch their respective roots.
Because their respective families have already bound too many people to form complex interest groups. If a war really breaks out that affects the country's economic lifeline, someone will definitely stop their wanton actions.
Recently, I learned that Kaguya Pharmaceutical Group, a subsidiary of the Ross family, is plotting a major project with the Ministry of National Defense of Country M, called elixir, which is actually related to life-extending medicine.
Feeney really couldn't sit still.
WTF? Does that lunatic old Ross really want to live forever and stay young?
I don't agree!
Feeney didn't know how long he could live, but he was always determined to live longer than old Ross.
He must watch helplessly as that old man dies first!
As a super-rich man with great hands and eyes, Feeney has a very developed intelligence network. He has long heard that old Ross's health is actually far worse than him.
This old guy is really bad, and it is even rumored that he uses some taboo methods to stay healthy and extend his life.
There are not a few rich people who do the same thing.
Some even violate ethics and morals by secretly using their own cells to clone clones with obvious defects as spares for their own internal organs.
Feeney knew it was all in vain.
It's not as good as the huge amount of money he invests in biological companies every year. Maybe with luck, he can produce some small results. Although the effect is limited, it can give him surprises from time to time.
People from the Z country say that the way of heaven reincarnates, and that all things are born and die. Feeney firmly believed that he would be a thief if he was too old to die. By living to his age, all the enjoyment and experiences he should have had had already been realized.
Of course he is willing to live longer, but he is not willing to live on his last breath like old Ross, or even abandon the shackles of being a human being and fall into complete evil.
Feeney never considered himself a good person, and he did many bad things in his life. However, he still has the most basic moral and ethical bottom line as a human being.
The reason for this is just to go to that world one day and see the soul that he has never forgotten, and to be able to tell her again that she really made the wrong choice.
Now, that old boy Ross might actually come up with a life-extending potion. How could Feeney just stare blankly and immediately invest huge sums of money on the dark web to secretly find out the details.
Soon, detailed information about the experimental accident in Zhongshan City and the mysterious giant eagle incident on the border was placed in front of him. Especially the two mysterious biological experiment reports that made many young and wealthy people shine, as if they had been injected with cardiotonic drugs, and they immediately understood the important connection between them.
Feeney didn't waste any time and immediately gave the order.
How can a treasure that can extend lifespan be kept exclusively by Old Ross! If you don't spit out half of it, then no one wants it.
There are three giant eagle feathers in total. Now one of them is in the hands of the Z government, so don’t try to take advantage of it.
The other two are located in Blood Jade County in Country Z. Feeney commissioned the internationally renowned Iron Curtain mercenary group to fight for it at the cost of one billion U.S. dollars. On the other side, they were not idle either, pulling together countries F and D and other EU countries to put pressure on country M, demanding that some specimens be divided.
Secretly, Feeney even used his real back-up plan buried beside Old Ross. At an unimaginable price, he obtained a life-extending potion that was said to be a semi-finished product.
Looking at the elixir in front of him that his henchmen had exchanged their lives for, Feeney's eyes were a little deep, and his expression was a little dazed for a moment.
There is no memory of those lives that died for this potion.
Feeney thinks more, but the treasure in front of him may really change the whole world.
Life, death, and longevity may be the final equality God bestows on all lives in this world.
Even the most advanced prosthetic technology can only extend life span to a certain extent at the expense of one's own flesh and blood.
The human brain, as the most cutting-edge evolutionary product on earth, can never be perfectly replaced. The inherited structural defects of the neural network of brain tissue have not been overcome for decades. However, it is said that Country Z has made the latest progress. The company not long ago The chairman of the company was almost kidnapped.
The emergence of life-extending potions and breaking them will definitely cause an uproar. Even a revolution may be hidden in the undercurrent of calm on the surface.
Because those who control resources and power are bound to stabilize their status through a longer life span, forming a more stubborn class differentiation.
No one is willing to stay at the bottom of society forever. When the time comes, violent resistance is the only way.
Thinking far ahead, now, it is more important to take care of the present.
Before the discovery of the giant eagle, the life-extending potion could not be mass-produced. It is the dream of countless rich people to get this one.
Feeney didn't hesitate too much and gave his full-time doctor an affirmative look.
If it had been in the past, it would have been impossible for him to inject something of unknown origin into his body. There are not even a thousand but eight hundred people who want to kill him.
Any drugs used on him will undergo very professional screening and experiments before they can be qualified.
But the life-extending potion is too precious, and not only Old Ross, but also a total of six wealthy people and scientists in the elixir project team who were about to die of illness and old age have completed the injection, and they all survived, and no sequelae have been found for the time being.
Old Ross was not afraid at all. There was no reason why he would be so unlucky and have side effects.
"Dr. Jack, please excuse me."
