Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Ragus Foundation_1

Without warning, thousands of online posts spewed vitriol at the Foster Family, leaving them extremely angry.

While they thoroughly investigated the matter, the number of posts kept increasing.

The results of the investigation were shocking. The Foster Family had never imagined that the reason for being attacked and vilified was a movie. The investigators urgently watched the entire film and discovered some subtleties.

The film was produced by Kolo Film and Television Media, and purely in terms of the plot, it was indeed a rare masterpiece in recent years. In fact, the Foster Family did not appear in the film at all, but the villain’s ultimate goal was to destroy "Libra," and after the movie ended, the dissatisfied audience combined recent media events to naturally conclude that the Foster Family was the culprit behind the current situation.

"How on earth did this film pass the review? Kolo Film and Television Media must provide an explanation!"

All morning, Hog Foster was furious.

These recent days had not been good for the Foster Family.

Withdrawing from District Seventeen had not only caused them significant financial loss but had also made other families eye them like prey. He was well aware that what those people were interested in was not just profit, but more importantly, the judgment authority they held.

"Libra" mentioned in the movie was likely a provocation by those people.

"This matter might be a bit difficult..."

The investigator said hesitantly, "According to existing laws, it’s hard for us to bring charges against them."

In this case, Kolo Film and Television Media were very cunning. The tactics they used could be described as "advanced black," meaning that although you know they are damaging your reputation, it’s difficult to sanction them using the existing legal system.

Because at the beginning of the film, there was a disclaimer stating, "This story is purely fictitious, please do not associate the film’s characters with reality." Looking at the film alone, it would be hard to find direct evidence that the Foster Family was harmed. The audience, influenced by recent media news, associated them with the characters in the movie, which led to the online attacks and vilifications.

Strictly speaking, this could be considered personal behavior of the audience.

Even if pursued further, only individual distributors of slanderous remarks could be sanctioned, but within just one morning, the number of posts slandering them had nearly reached ten thousand. It was foreseeable that as more people watched the movie, the number of posts would continue to rise at an alarming rate.

To single out these netizens scattered across the United Government, it would take not only a tremendous effort in manpower and resources, but also might require the cooperation of the network monitoring department.

Under the current circumstances, pursuing this would only smear their name further.

And that is precisely the terrifying aspect of "advanced black"; they knew that Kolo Film and Television Media was behind the trouble, but even if they pursued it, they could only vent their anger on ordinary audiences who had nothing to do with them.

What’s more, Kolo Film and Television Media almost monopolizes the ideological direction of the United Government and is one of the important enterprises valued by the Review Meeting. In terms of size, they are not at all afraid to be at odds with the Foster Family.

"Investigate the purpose behind Kolo Film and Television Media’s actions,"

Despite his anger, Hog Foster was still clear-headed. If he were easily controlled by fury, he would never have reached his current position.

There was something very suspicious about this matter.

There had been no grudges between the Foster Family and Kolo Film and Television Media, either historically or recently. Looking at the domains they each controlled, there was no conflict of interest. They should be well aware that a corporation couldn’t possibly hold sway over the judicial system of the United Government; they were completely on different paths.

Therefore, the first thing that came to Hog Foster’s mind was that someone wanted to use Kolo Film and Television Media to disgust them, and the real enemy was the one lurking in the shadows, pushing their agenda.

"We’ve found something."

The investigator said, "As Hog’s right-hand woman, even without him having to say a word, she could tell that there was something fishy about this, ’The biggest investor in this film is the "Ragus Foundation."’

Based on what she dug up, after the sample reels were out, there indeed had been a delay of a few days due to review issues within Kolo Film and Television Media, until the Ragus Foundation stepped in, and then the senior management reached a consensus.

"It’s them again."

Hog Foster gritted his teeth, frustrated yet powerless, and could only curse, "The bastards from the Reformists."

Compared to Kolo Film and Television Media, the Reformists were indeed the forces most eager to gain judicial interpretation rights. It seems that ever since they withdrew from Sector 17, the Reformists had been eyeing them closely from the shadows.

He couldn’t sit idly by any longer, "Assemble all the senior members, attend the family meeting this afternoon on time."

Fortunately, at least in this matter, the Foster Family was not fighting alone.

Within the United Government, there are quite a few large families with vested interests in conflict with the Reformists. Since things had escalated to this point, what lay ahead was a do-or-die struggle.

............

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Law Enforcers’ department of Sector 17 was grim.

A few days ago, Lu Xiang had received an email from Princess Lieyang, which mainly involved catching up on the current situation in the Twelfth Nation, a communication between friends. However, at the end of the email, Lieyang mentioned that the Rebel Army stationed in the Twelfth Nation had poured out in full force and was currently heading straight for the Sixth Nation.

This matter originally had nothing to do with the Law Enforcers of Sector 17, but just now, they learned the reason why Esinvig and his troops had emerged in full force.

"Deep Web."

This was the information brought by Su Li.

After the film’s shooting was completed, he followed the Kolo Media crew back to the core area, and this piece of news, he got from an organization named the Ragus Foundation.

The United Government has also dispatched a regular chip reception team, and they have set off on their journey to the Sixth Nation.

It seems they had learned from their previous failures, as this time the United Government had directly sent a Six-star Rescuer.

Ever since seeing the name of this Six-star Rescuer, Lu Xiang appeared somewhat unsettled. She furrowed her brows and crossed her arms, not even noticing her nails digging into the flesh of her arms.

"What’s so special about this ’Wild Bone’?"

"A secret war machine developed by the United Government, the rescuer with the highest degree of prosthesis modification known to date... In reality, he has gone beyond the scope of a rescuer and has, for several years, served as the highest commander of the United Government’s cleansing department."

Six-star Rescuers represent the United Government’s highest level of combat capability.

If not absolutely necessary, they rarely appear before the public eye; protecting the knowledge of their combat methods and abilities is one of the main tasks of the secrecy department.

The deployment of Wild Bone is likely because the United Government has investigated the movements of the Esinvig Army.

This operation is aimed at a direct confrontation with the Rebel Army.
