We are the only company who has the ability to develop the cure for such a disease because we already have grounds in the research of the flu .

Thank you for your cooperation , and keep any talk in relation to this subject at a minimum outside of the office to protect the interests and privacy of the firm . This online broadcast will be erased within one hour to prevent any information from being leaked . With regards , Chief Executive Officer of Healthcare Pharmacy Daniel and Peter were thoroughly on board .
“ Ha ha , I bet we get a pay raise from this plan ,” Peter grinned ignorantly without giving it much thought . Daniel snorted in agreement and handed the binder back to the boss . The two of them left the office , chatting excitedly in favor of the plan . Mark sat in shock as he read to the end of the document . His mind whirred with the information from the letter – deploy deadly viruses , then withhold the cure so that more income is achieved .
Mark recovered from his flabbergasted state and exclaimed , “ Manager , you can possibly sign this document in agreement ? To threaten already miserable lives for profit ? Why would our chief suggest such a thing ?”
“ The chief is always right . He knows what he ’ s doing , so follow his directions , Mark ,” the chief responded curtly . “ Your insubordination is not appreciated .”
Mark , who remembered his previous lives , flashed back to his life as a monkey who had been on a journey to India , and recalled that back then , he had never done anything against his morals for personal gain . He had always fought for good , fought for right , and fought for the people who deserved to be fought for . If he had done anything wrong , his conscience ached so hard that he would to anything to reverse the damages he caused . Mark knew that whether as an animal or as a human , he would remain the same man with straight morals . He would never even consider this a moral dilemma – he would never choose profit over the wellbeing of the citizens . “ How could we justify this ? Prioritizing profit over lives ?

The pain grew , and Mark fell to the floor , screaming from agony . Realizing that Mark wasn ’ t giving in yet , Johansson repeated the curse faster and fiercer . The excruciating wave of pain hit him and he would have gone unconscious if he didn ’ t agree , but he stayed silent . Johnasson paused his chanting to add , “ Mark , surrender your superficial ideas of morality and join us . Otherwise , we have to make you leave our company .” The threat of unemployment , the thought of losing his job , and the fear of being kicked out from the world ’ s leading pharmaceutical firm , on top of the torture , forced Mark to concede . He was thoroughly defeated and ashamed . “ Good ,” Johnasson responded calmly . He released Mark from the painful spell and Mark rolled over , and his face was colorless and grey . He stood up , trembling all over , nauseated . “ Our research begins tomorrow . I hope to see you here , in the office , at 8AM sharp ,” Johnasson stated imperiously while making his way out the door . Mark considered telling the press to expose the company ’ s despicable plans , then recalled that back in the broadcast video , the chief executive had noted with confidence that their lawyers and speakers were highly
