Robert frowned slightly, and after a while, he stood up and answered the call himself.
"Hello?"
"Good morning, Mr. Secretary-General." Avinash's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "You woke up so early."
"What's up?"
"Did you see today's newspaper? The front page of Indomitable."
Robert looked sideways and stretched out his hand to signal the butler to get the newspaper for him.
Avinash continued, "If you haven't read it, I suggest you take a look. I have nothing else to do. Goodbye."
There was a busy signal on the other end of the phone and Avinash had hung up.
The housekeeper brought a folded newspaper, and the moment he unfolded it, Robert's blood pressure rose.
The front page of the newspaper showed Hesta's portrait - the girl was staring at the camera, her gaze piercing the page like a knife.
The impact of this moment made Robert unsteady for a moment, and the housekeeper on the side quickly supported his arm.
There were some remaining blood spots on Hesta's cheeks. Her ice-blue eyes were cold and sharp, like a ferocious beast. The most impactful thing was her short fiery red hair. They were like The devil's flame is burning brightly.
Robert held onto the fireplace beside him and whispered, "Bring...bring me my glasses."
The butler immediately did so.
Robert opened the newspaper again and squinted his eyes to look at the huge headline——
"manipulate! Fool! Take off the disguise and see how a born devil deceives everyone! 》
"Prepare a car...prepare a car!" Robert was already a little panicked. He shouted loudly, "I want to go to the office immediately!"
At this moment, there were reporters in groups of three or three surrounding the door of Tan Yi's municipal building. Robert saw these busybodies carrying cameras and microphones at a glance. In his eyes, these reporters were like hunting sharks coming for blood. He only wanted to If you are not careful, you will get a bigger wound.
He immediately asked the driver to change directions and go directly to the underground parking lot of the municipal building. A reporter recognized Robert's car, but he had already turned around and drove away.
After some back and forth, Robert finally stepped into the building quietly. Alang had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Secretary-General!"
Robert walked like flying, and Alang immediately followed him.
Robert's voice was low: "What's going on in the Indomitable Newspaper's report today?"
"It was done by one of their intern investigative reporters, a young man named Stella Wiking who just graduated from Lombard University last year."
Alang said and raised his hand, and Stella Viking's holographic bust appeared in front of the two of them.
Robert frowned - this was a young girl with long brown curly hair and a distinctly aggressive smile.
Robert stopped and began to slide the air screen in the corridor to browse the young man's background.
Stella Wiggin, 21 years old, was adopted by John Wiggin, a doctor in the Third District, when she was 5 years old. At the age of 16, she went to Lunbang University in the core city to receive primary education. I returned to Tan Yi last year and joined the Indomitable Newspaper as a trainee investigative reporter.
Robert waved his hand to close the floating window in disgust - the trait of "red-haired woman" already made him feel uncomfortable.
"After our last report about Hesta was published, Viking started her investigation. She disguised herself and entered the orphanage to work as a cleaner for half a month, and secretly visited the children in the convent again. Hesta was once It wasn’t that wonderful at all in the monastery…
"She has a withdrawn personality and has always seemed out of place with other people in the convent. Except for Dean Alma and a little boy from the 14th arrondissement, no one is usually with her. Sister Gerding is even attracted to her every now and then. This made her furious and sent her to a solitary room for self-examination every three days.
"There is also the squirrel we mentioned before. In fact, the squirrel was discovered by another girl named Frasan. Not only did Hesta not cooperate with the prayer, she even proposed to eat it——"
"I've seen all of this! You don't need to repeat it again!" Robert replied impatiently.
This morning's full-page text report Robert had read through in the car again. In the report, Stella completely crushed the previous "angel-like Hesta" and replaced it with a person like Hesta. Wilderness savages who are cruel, indifferent, and even lack basic moral concepts like Brother Kra.
Earlier, in order to prevent things like today from happening, the city hall specially issued a document prohibiting all media from disturbing the lives of these surviving children in the name of interviews - I don’t know what these people do for food or why they are recruiting workers. They didn't even do a basic background check and just let an investigative reporter in.
"Withdraw the manuscript!" Robert was furious, "Let them withdraw the manuscript immediately!"
"We have sent people to recycle and destroy today's newspapers, including the online version of this article, which has now been removed from the website of the Indomitable Newspaper - but AHgAs reprinted the full text this morning and put it on The homepage of their website has been simultaneously translated and retweeted to the first, fourth, fifth, eleventh and fourteenth districts. The remaining districts have also announced the common language version first. The translation into local characters should be just It’s a matter of time…”
Robert didn't want to hear any more, "...is there any new news?"
"Stella Viking just posted a new message ten minutes ago," Alan said with a very ugly face, "She...she also discovered that Hesta was not an abandoned baby or street child in a livable place at all. Two people Out of kindness, the nun deliberately concealed this fact in her files - before being adopted by St. Anne's Convent, she had been living in... Shorting Lane."
Short Alley.
The infamous Short Ring Alley.
Robert was furious for a moment.
It’s over…how could it be Short Call Alley?
In livable areas, Short Call Alley is a place more famous than Hecla. Everyone knows that it is full of robbers, prostitutes, and desperadoes... For hirers, the killers in Short Call Alley not only charge higher prices than Hecla Carats are cheaper and their methods are more cruel and ruthless, but the behavior of these people is not very controlled. If not necessary, everyone still prefers Hecra thugs who understand the rules of the world better.
"Where is this Stella Wiggin now!" Robert yelled angrily, "What is her purpose in writing these things, who ordered her to write them, and who is behind her - find out! Find out!"
"She...should be at the reserve base now," Alang's voice was very soft, "because the message she sent ten minutes ago...is located over there."
Robert slapped the nearby wall - he knew it.
It must be Chiba Masaki, it must be her!
"In addition," Alang's throat moved, "there are some... updated contents in the version of the report reprinted by AHgAs, which are directly aimed at us."
"What is it?"
"It's a bit long..." Alang silently reopened the floating window just now and called up Stella's updated article, "I'm not good at dictating, so just read it."
