Chapter 388: Fighting for Humanity (The End)

Franklin, the chairman of the Torres Group, spoke on stage after the banquet began. His speech was not long, so it was not boring. After he finished his speech, the audience began to applaud.

Following that, Sean and Tina, as the important figures of the Torres family, also spoke on stage.

Next was the Torres Group’s annual corporate report.

The Torres Group’s senior executives also took turns to report on their work.

Franklin and Quinn stood at the side with the windows open for some fresh air.

“Franklin, do you feel that Grandma is a little strange today? She seems to be very happy.”

“Yes, she’s extremely happy. I wonder what good things have happened.”

As mentioned by Franklin and Quinn, Tina was indeed full of smiles. She was rarely seen so happy.

The leader of a public welfare organization under the Torres Group had just finished giving a report on this year’s work. At this moment, thunderous applause rang out from the audience.

The camera clearly recorded every movement in the banquet hall.

The projected slide had the word “thank you” written on it.

However, a strange thing happened in the next second. The content of the slide was suddenly replaced.

The three letters GRW were in big bold red font. It was a little overwhelming as it appeared in front of everyone.

The person who had just finished speaking on the stage was stunned when he saw this slide.

“Hey, what’s going on?” He tried to press the computer but found that the slide was stuck. He could not jump to the next page, nor could he exit.

“Technicians, come and take a look. There are still many people who have yet to present their reports.”

The crowd did not care, as they thought that it was just a technical problem.

However, something even more astonishing happened in the next second.

First, it was a very specific phenomenon. A few people on the stage suddenly trembled for a few seconds as if they had been electrocuted. When they stopped shaking, their faces suddenly turned extremely pale. They were gray-black in color, and their eyes also became listless.

They were mumbling something. If others could get close enough to listen, they would hear them repeatedly saying “ghosts rule the world!”.

When the crowd noticed that something was wrong with these people, the phenomenon spread like fire. More and more people were twitching and shaking, their faces turning gray.

Within a minute, the banquet hall had turned into a scene of zombies from a doomsday novel.

“Ghosts rule the world! Ghosts rule the world!”

At first, they were just muttering, but then, these zombified people started shouting together. If one ignored their slogans and expressions, their unity was indeed commendable.

Apart from the Torres family members, almost everyone in the banquet hall had become abnormal.

Quinn asked, “Franklin, what…what happened to them?”

Franklin stood in a corner and frowned. “I think Lauren’s guess is right. Those people are taking advantage of our 50th anniversary to start a riot.”

Even though the reporters had also turned into strange appearances, the cameras were still carefully recording the situation at the scene.

Everyone in the country saw this strange situation through live broadcasts on television.

At this moment, a bunch of fireworks rose from the roof of the banquet hall. The fireworks scattered in all directions. They were colorful and especially dazzling in the dark sky.

Bryce put the lighter back into his pocket and looked at the gradually dissipating fireworks. He sighed, “I hope Lauren and the others can arrive in time.”

Lauren was not the only one who arrived. She had a large team with her.

As soon as Lauren realized that the organization wasn’t simple, she had arranged for the hosts and their systems to arrive early for deployment.

She had also informed Franklin and the others to inform her immediately if there was any situation.

Therefore, when Lauren saw the fireworks in the sky above the banquet hall, she knew that something had happened, so she immediately called the other hosts to make a move.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, a group of people outside the banquet hall had also experienced the same situation.

“Let’s get to work!” Lauren shouted to the hosts behind her.

“Yes! Let’s fight for the happiness of mankind!”

The hosts and their systems devoted themselves to this important mission. Meanwhile, Lauren bypassed these people and walked straight into the banquet hall to find the person she was looking for.

“Mr. Hayes, are you the culprit behind this?”

“Miss Torres, you’ve finally figured it out.” Mr. Hayes was no longer as amiable as before as he curled his lips.

Lauren raised her head and said, “Yes. We want to declare war on you this time!”

The other hosts were currently fighting against the people who had been possessed by the ghosts. Franklin, Quinn, Bryce, Sean, and Maria were all standing behind Lauren.

Although Lauren had yet to figure out the reason behind Mr. Hayes’ actions, she did not know how long the battle would last.

However, she knew that with the support of the people behind her, she would definitely be able to complete the mission successfully.

In the future, she would also continue to strive for their happiness.
