"senior!"

Seeing Uesugi Hisanobu take the initiative to step forward, Kobayashi Shuichi gritted his teeth and followed.

The group instantly engaged in a fierce battle. Although Uesugi Hisanobu and his companion were outnumbered and outgunned, they gained the upper hand overall.

The police department's standard exoskeleton armor provided them with unparalleled defense and strength. Relying on the defense of the standard exoskeleton armor, Uesugi Hisanobu fought extremely fiercely, completely abandoning defense. The baton in his hand was so powerful that it left afterimages as he chased after six people.

Although Kobayashi Shuichi lacked practical experience, he held his own against the combined attack of four people.

When reinforcements arrived, the thugs realized the situation was bad, threw the junk at them, and ran away.

"Stop!" Uesugi Hisanobu shook off the junk on his body and quickly chased after them. He then quickly knocked the group of thugs to the ground, arrested them, and sent them to the armored vehicle, punching and kicking them.

……

TPC headquarters.

After hearing about the police department's operation, Ze Jing immediately contacted Shen Yun.

"Director, it's a bit impulsive of you to have the police arrest those ordinary citizens. This will stir up some people's sensitive nerves..." Sawai said worriedly.

"Advisor Sawai, you mean some people will call me a dictator, right?" Shen Yun smiled disdainfully and said, "Let them curse me if they want. Reputation is only temporary. As long as the new system can be implemented smoothly, these curses will just be a few flies buzzing in your ears."

"Furthermore, these protesters are not ordinary citizens; they are the people behind them."

As he spoke, Shen Yun pushed a stack of documents in front of Ze Jing, and then added:

"Farmers are the nation's silent eldest sons, who need to be cherished; workers are the nation's burdened second sons, who need to be cared for; and these middle-class people are like the youngest sons who love to play tricks, who need to be disciplined. As for those tycoons who only know how to suck blood? I'm already doing my greatest kindness by keeping them alive and not using them to fill Tokyo Bay."

Sawai hesitated for a moment, but in the end she just sighed and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."

He was no longer the director and could not interfere with Shen Yun's decisions; at most, he could only offer his own suggestions.

Although the director's methods were a bit extreme, his intentions were good.

Although the police arrested the protesters, they did not make things too difficult for them. They only detained the ringleaders who had taken money, while the others were released after being locked up overnight.

Of course, he may escape the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment.

These protesters' already meager contribution points were wiped out on the spot, and their personal terminal records were also updated with a record of imprisonment.

Shen Yun was not idle either. After finding out who was behind the trouble, he launched a competing product within a few days.

As soon as these competing products were released, the stock prices of several conglomerates' companies collapsed, and hundreds of billions of yen were wiped out on the spot.

Soon, Shen Yun's personal inbox was flooded with emails from the heads of numerous conglomerates, expressing their willingness to cooperate with Shen Yun's work and hoping that he would let them off the hook.

"Now you want to beg for mercy? What were you doing before?" Shen Yun sneered inwardly, but still replied to each question.

Suppression is merely a means, not an end.

Japan's zaibatsu (conglomerates) are not a monolithic entity; they can be won over, suppressed, and divided.

Winning over some, dividing others, and suppressing others – this classic tactic never goes out of style.

Capital, on the other hand, is weak and compromising; as long as you don't want to be targeted and go bankrupt, you'll obediently cooperate with it.

Of course, while Shen Yun delivered a heavy blow, he also offered a sweet treat, directly taking out the gene enhancement serum and using it to dangle the strings of several major conglomerates.

Gene-enhancing drugs can allow humans to live to the theoretical lifespan limit, which is 150 years old.

For people in their seventies and eighties, nothing is more precious than longevity.

As for what to do with one's children and grandchildren, they have their own blessings. As long as one works hard, it's not impossible to live a good life.

The society, which was originally rife with undercurrents, gradually calmed down under Shen Yun's combination of firm measures and gentle persuasion.

TPC is also steadily implementing its space exploration plans one by one.

On this day, Daigo and Rena returned to the base with their luggage.

At this moment, Shen Yun had just finished a meeting about the new Magus Power and walked out of the conference room.

"Director!" Daigo saw Shen Yun and waved to him with a smile.

"Daigo, Rena." Shen Yun smiled and waved in response when he saw the two of them.

"You two, are you back from your trip?" Shen Yun walked over and teased.

"Yes, I'm just back for a short visit. By the way, congratulations on your appointment, Director," Daigo said with a smile.

"I've been in office for quite some time now, and I'm only just coming back to offer my congratulations."

"What? We were too far away to come back in time. We did send an email to congratulate the director on his appointment," Lina pouted, dissatisfied.

After saying that, Lina turned around and gave Karen a big hug, laughing as she said:

"Karen, long time no see~"

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Daigo, is there something you need to do after you come back this time?" Shen Yun asked.

“Yes, we’ve heard about TPC’s new field plan and are planning to sign up and extend our vacation a bit more,” said Daikodo.

"Have you decided?"

"Yes, it's decided. After we return from our world tour, we will be among the first interstellar immigrants to migrate to the Mars base and begin exploring Mars," Daigo nodded and said.

“The conditions were very harsh in the early stages of Mars exploration,” Shen Yun said after a moment of silence.

“It’s okay, growing plants on Mars is my dream,” Daigo said with a smile.

"That's fine. Going to Mars is a kind of protection for you," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"What does the director mean...?"

"Right now, the public is demanding that TPC strengthen its military, and the voices of the hawks are getting louder and louder, even coveting Ultraman's power. Although your identity has been classified as top secret, if those hawks find any clues, you're in big trouble." Shen Yun patted Daigo on the shoulder and laughed.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. With us at TPC, they won't be able to find out your identity."

In the original work, Megumi Kijima became an advisor to the intelligence agency, probably to conceal Daigo's identity.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, we're comrades-in-arms, aren't we?" Shen Yun lightly punched Da Gu's shoulder and laughed.

"Yes!" Daigo smiled and said, "Doctor, I'm entrusting Earth to you."

"You too, you two take good care of yourselves." (End of Chapter)
