《Rise of the Phoenix - Apocalypse Rebirth》Chapter 16 - Sherrie Tang's Background
Advertisement
May 16, 3031 - Country C, City F
Now that Sara is dead, Aria sat in the cafe across the street and watched the scene with a change of clothing and a face mask and glasses.
She doesn't care about the police procedures dealing with Sherrie. Sherrie's family background is not weak since her family actually owned the biggest pharmaceutical chain Country C. Sherrie's involuntary manslaughter charges would be easily dropped due to her father pulling strings and calling in favors and Sherrie's reputation would take a small hit.
Before the ZA in the previous life, Sherrie met and married the young master of the Su family, Sonny Su, whose family was deeply connected with the state's government. Combining the two family's power and influence, both of Sherrie's and Sonny's extreme personalities grew more and more perverted.
After the ZA, the two families were large power players of base GS. Sonny would seduce any female that catches his fancy, his preference leaning towards the female abilities since he likes breaking their strong spirit. Whereas Sherrie would be jealous of the same females and would torture them after Sonny was done with them. It's fair to say that anyone unlucky enough to attract Sonny's attention would be tortured twice.
Although Aria never did get abused by Sonny, Sherrie's men were able to corner her and were able to break Aria's hand before Aria was able to escape the base.
Suffice to say, the couple are horrible people alone but are super toxic and inhumane together. Now that she'd encountered one of them so early in her rebirth, she doesn't intend to let them go.
Aria has suffered so much in her previous life to care much about morals and ethics in this life. Except for her old family and the people who helped them, she definitely will make them suffer before and after the ZA.

For people like Sherrie and Sonny, the scourge and scum of humanity, preying on the weak and poor, if she encounters them now then it only makes sense to cut them down ruthlessly.
Sherrie's perverted ego comes from her looks and her strong family background. Sonny's comes from his lower region and his family background and connections. At this time they should be finalizing the engagement to happen after Sherrie's graduation.
But Sherrie's family encounters issues and hardships during this time then they would only be able to pull relations to solve one problem. So Aria needs to hit their family business hard in the next few days so they will have to give up their child for the interest of their family instead.

Aria: S3, is there any way for us to get our hands on the recordings of the police recordings and the footage when Sherrie pushed me?
S3: Well, I can access it through one of the policeman's consoles so if you can figure out a way to touch one for 5 seconds, I'll be able to plant a virus to the system and be able to pull up anything at will.
Aria: Virus?
S3: Yeah... how do you think I'll be able to identify things? I need to open a backdoor for myself to get into places and access the data I want.
Aria: Can you access the space button server too? The DMV, city, government records?
S3: Yes. As long as you touch any computer that has access to those systems, I can plant a virus for us to access.
Hmm. She'll take care of accessing the space button server tomorrow. The most important thing right now is to cause trouble for the Tang family.
It seems like she has three tasks today.
Access the police console

Visit a Tang Pharmaceutical
Rob the pharmacies
The scene was still hectic. Statements were still being taken by the policemen as more and more of Sara's classmates lined up to provide details of what they saw.
A lot of police vehicles were lined up blocking the whole street. Seeing an unattended vehicle nearby, Aria walked over touching it and by the way copying the cop car. She then casually leaned down behind the opened car door, reaching out her hands and touched the laptop in the middle of the car before moving casually away.
She made a point to join a group of onlookers as she communicated with S3. Aria quickly searched for a scandal and gossip Pin account and quickly sent over video footage of the accident and statements made to the police.
She attached a note with Sherrie's name and family background before logging out of the new anonymous Pin account she created for this purpose. This scandal account is quite smart and she used to follow it religiously in her previous life for light entertainment so Aria knew that they would do a good job of creating trouble with the information they had.
First task done.
Next is to visit the nearby Tang Pharmacy
